ROXBORO, N. C. SEPT., 14th, 1893. lion. F. M. Simmons authorizes the News and Observer to state that he will not take charge of the Collec tors office until the Senate confirms his appointment and he gives his bond. We suppose this is intended as a hint to office-seekers. "Mr. Chas. B. Aycock, of Golds boro, has many friends in this county who will hear with much pleas use that he has been appointed district attorney for the eastern district of this State. Mr. Aycock made a brilliant campaign for the Demo cratic party hist year, and his ap pointment U a just reward for faith ful service. He made two able speeches in this county which were well received. In the Senate this week, speaking on the Repeal bill has been the or der of the day, and little else has been done. It seorns to be the pol icy of the .silver :non to delay the vote Ou ihe n.eaetire as long as pos sible, and while last week it looked like a vote would be reached at an early day, that prospect has about ail vanished.- The silver men say there will not be a vote taken as long as they are physically able to stand up aud t.tik. This talking against time, while the business of the country is at a stand-still, is not very encouraging to the millions of people at home waiting for the Sen ate "to- do something." It is not Burprising that you hear the idea expressed so often that the United States Senators should be elected by the popular vote of the people. The Senate is considered a deliberate body of law-makers, aud well it should be. Its policy on this meas ure sustains that idea. Ever since the depression in bus iness became noticeable the Repub lican newspapers have been glowing in "I told yon so." They said the scarcity of money was caused by fear of the manufacturers that the Dem ocrats would tinker with the tariff laws. Well, that sounded very well during the scarry times, but how now, when manufacturer all over the country are resuming their busi ness, factories that have been closed for months are being thrown open, and laborers given work. Banks that a few weeks ago were forced to lose their doors for the want of cur rency, have, since the Repeal bill passed the House, been enabled to open their doors and resume busi ness. It was not the fear of the tar iff tinkers that caused this panic, but the onesided legislation of the Republican party that has been go ing ou for the past twenty-fiye years. No one knows this more clearly than do the Republican leaders. Strange is it not that iu 1892 when it was thought that a Demo cratic House was about to pass a free coinage bill, that Col. L. L. Polk, then president of the National Alli ance, issued a letter to the Alliance stating that free coinage was not what they wanted or needed; that it would do vc;ry !Utl- good, in fact it would not incmt.se the per capita more than 30 cents, and, of course, that settled it every one of his most ardent leaders said amen! Now these same men say that 110th ing else under the sum will do the farmers any good but the free aud unlimited coinage of silver. Why this change? Why, it is plain enough. The Democratic party is in power, and they think the party is split oa this measure, and, while the platform declares for free coinage with a proper ratio, they do not think the two factions will get to gether on it, and anything to defeat the Democratic party is what the leaders of the Alliance, who are to day the leaders and promoters of the Third party, want. That makes the difference. That is why free coin age is so much better today than it was-in 1892. Is it strange? The people who are still felling the pinch ol the money stringency although the signs are better all around and who are wondering where tueir next ooua. is to come irom. are heartily preparea to accept 'iui mame ence lu Wwu ... no nnanciat legislation may ue effected before the end of the month, nor to enter into the spirit which causes the pages of the Congressional Record to tell daily of Laughter Great laughter, etc. It might not be amiss for some of the statesmen of the presnet to revert to the case of the Roman Emperor who executed a performance upon the violin while the Eternal City was in flames, and to remember that his position in history is not a particularly enviable one. Charlotte Observer. BETTER TIMES. 11a! Ha!! Ha!!! While the lugu brious protection newepaper organs are grinding out doleful music on the threatened tariff tax reduction and sweariDg it will ruin the country and bring about a greater panic, the dis patches of last Wednesday alone re. Dorted the resumption of work f t, forty factories and mills. That will do pretty well for one day. Let the howlers howl and tne grinders of the organs of monoply keep turning the the crank. The mills and plants wil just keep starting up all the same There an many gracious, cheering signs of improving times. There are indications of a general resumption of business in the West as in the North. Wore mills are resumi work, and thousands of workingmen have now somethins to do. The banks too that were closed are open in!? once more their doors and are o beginning to pay out the cash All this is indeed cheering. The south hopes for better times, and may it abundantly share in all the blessings. But legislation has had nothing to do with it. On monday there were nearly 20,000 men put to work, while not one factory or mill or plant has shut down. Wilmington Messenger. A MAN WHO KNOWS. There is something interesting about a man who can set up and talk for hours and days, until hi tougue fails hitu or his legs give out, upon a given subject. There is Sen ator Stewart, of Nevada, for iustance. Probably nobody doubts that if his physical powers lasted he could talk till the crack of doom on the silver question and find something to say every minute. His oft-repeated his tory of the demonezitation of silver (for which, by the way, he voted,) would itself fill a book. But that does uot begin to be his starting point. He can start with the his tory of silver 150 years before Christ and tell you the ratio that existed between it and gold at the time the infant Saviour lay iu the manger at Bethleham, Judea, because there wa3 no room at the inn. He knows how many grains were in the piece of silver concerning which the Great Teacher asked the Jews whose image and superscription it bore when they sought to entrap Him by ask ing if it was right to pay tribute to Caesar. He can tell the bullion value of the thirty pieces of silver which Judas Iscariot had in his pocket when he spoke the fateful words, "Hail, Master !" which ush ered in the new dispensation. He can follow the fluctuating ratios on down through the reign of all the Casar; can tell you the value of the silver, expressed in gold, that Saul received for his wages as tent maker and can state with certainty the amount of the silver production of the world the year that Constantine saw the sign of the Cross in the heavens. He knows the per capita circulation of silver in the earth when Gaul was invaded, and can inform any inquirer, without refer ring to his notes, of the relative fine ness of the talent which the man burried in the napkin and the silver for which Chief Justic Bcon sold justice. The history of silver from the time of William the Conqueror down to the demonetization act of 1873 is as familiar to him as house hold words, and what he doesn't know about it since, the Congres sional Globe and Record, the Revised Statutes, the United States Census Report, and the records of Europe. Asia and Africa do not tell. Sen ator Morgan, of Alabama, when he gets started upon the discussion of some question of international con cern, has "the gift o' gab werry gal lopin," himself, but Seoator Stewart on silver beats them all. Charlotte Observer. Revolt Against Hill. V ashigton, September 8. A New Yo k special says that a revolt in the regular Democracy is maturing against Senator Hill. The signifi cance of the movement is that it originates with Senator Murphy's personal friends. It cannot be dis covered that Murphy is personally endorsing the movement, but the fact is that he has not called down his friends for talking against his colleague.-. It means volumes m the struggle for control of the State machine when Hill opposes Murphy's wishes. The first engagement will come in the State convention. WASHINGTON NEWS. SOME IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. A Notable Meeting--Thirdites Wul Vote in the Interest of Republicans--The Silver Men Have Thcii Way in the Senate to the Discomfiture of Mr. Vorhees. Washington. I. C, Sept. 11. Everything in the House since my ast letter has beeu of a dnll and routine nature. 1 he policy of the administration seems to be not to offer any financial measures in the House till the Senate votes on the repeal bill. In ihe Senate it has been a week of speech-making, and apparently no uearer a vote than last week. LONG SPEECHES. Senator Sevvart gave a practical demonstration of what thy,, silver Senators can do in the way of length ening the discussion on the repeal bill hy his long speech this week. If every silver Senator should make one of equal length it would occupy the greater part of the time between now and Christmas. IN THE INXEKEST OF REPUBLICANS. The Populists iu Congress are not enthusiastic oyer the proposal to re peal the Federal election laws, and it will not be surprising if in the end they are found working and vot:ng against it. Ihe claim is made that the present mild sort of supervision exercised over congres sional aud presidential elections by fedeial officers is a benefit to them, particularly in the South. A NOTABLE BODY. No more notable international body of men ever met at the Nation al capital than the Pan-American Medical Congress, now in session. Nearly every country upon the wes tern hemisphere is represented, and many of the delegates are physicians of world-wide reputation. A COMMITTEE TO SETTLE IT. The concurrent resolutions offered by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, for the creation of a joint committee ot fourteen, equally divided in mem- j bership between the Senate and the House, for the purpose of investigat- ing and reporting to Congress what legislation is needed to timprove our present financial system, which everybody admits to be full of de-' tects, may be the oil that will smooth the dangerous financial waves which threaten the safety of the congres-', sional ship and the lives of all its passengers. It is certainly a fair ' proposition, and unless the com- i niittee was packed would seem to be j the ideal method of securing the in formation necessary to intelligent financial legislation If the resolu tioii could be vottd upon without, interfereuce from the political lead-j era it would certainly be adopted, ! and it may be any way. I the silvek 3iKK on top. j Had the vote upon the Voorhees repeal bill been taken in the Senate this week, without previous notice, 1 that measure would have been de- . feated by a majority of five, that ! being the majority which voted ! against Senator Voorhees. in favor of going into executive session in order to give Senator Stewart a rest. There were only 03 Senators pres ent and voting, and 35 of them were opponents of the unconditional re peal bill, while only 28 were its sup porters. Senator Voorhees was not content with his first defeat and an hour later in attempting, in executive sessions to prevent an adjournment for the day he was given another by the silver Senators and the motion for adjournment passed. And the next day, after having spent many hours in attempting to secure the atten dance of his followers, in order to pass his resolution for the meeting of the Senate at 11 o'clock, Senator Voorhees was compelled, in order to escape the third defeat, to rise in the Senate aud ask that his resolution be laid aside. These things have naturally resulted in cheering up the silver men, although the repealers make light of them and say that they were accidents, caused by the temporary absence of their men. SOME N. C. APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Wm. F. Lewis of North Car olina, has been appointed assistant surgeon in the army with the rank of first lieutenant. Mr. Thos. M. Robertson, who rep resented Randolph county in the last Legislature, has been appointed to a position in the Interior Department at a salary of $1,600 per year. Mr. W. W. Long, a member of the House from Warren county; has se cured a position in the Agricultural Department. R. B. Evans, of the Wilson Ad vance and C tpt. T. D. Smith, late of the Clinton Cauoasion typograph ical force, has beeu appointed to places in the government printiug office. Capt Smith worked on the Caucasian during the campaign, but never flinched in his Democracy. There ought to be a law to compel members of Congress to listen to each other's speeches . Then, i ndeed, congressional sessions would be short Richmond Dispatch. That is the best suggestion that has been made since Columbus dis covered America. Charlotte Obser yer. .... ONE THiNG AT A TIME. It is quite apparent to everybody in Washington who has means of knowing the policy of the adminis tration, that no financial proposition will be proposed until the vote is taken in the Senate ou the repeal bill. It is known that the President is inclined to favor the repeal of the State bank tax, and that both he and Secretary Carlisle are very anxious that authority be given them . to have coined the seigniorage of bul lion in the Treasury, as such soin age would at once place an addi tional $50,000,000 iu circulation iney r cognize, However, that anv proposition at this time would con' fuse the issue now being fought out in the Senate and endanger the prompt repeal of tue Sherman act After repeal the two suggestions referred to and possibly others will be made by the administration What their fate would be in Con gress is now uncertain. Chairman Springer, of the banking and cur rency committee of the House, says there is a majority of one ! 4n the committee opposed to the repeal of bank tax. The Senate finance com mittee probably has a - majority against the proposition Iso, But these committees cannot be regard ed as representing, In any sense, the views of the Senators and Itepre sentatives at large. Washington Special to the New York Sun. DESOLATE COASTS. Up from our Stricken Sea Islands Conies the Cry of Distress. Columbia, S. C, Sept. 8 The aw ful stupendity of the disaster of the storm-swept coast of South Carolina is at last realized. It proves to be the calamity of the century. A death roll of several hundred persons de vemp into almost that many thou sands, while absolute destitution ex tends, to 20,000 persons, nineteen' twentieths - of whom are ignorant negroes. These awful facts have been ascertained by Dr. J. W. Bab cock, of this city, who spent four days as the special representative of Governor Tillman at Beaufort and vicinity. In point of fac the whole truth is not yet known, as on account 'of the impossibility of at present j making a circuit of more of the islands that make up this archipelago, bu enough has been developed to war rant the foregoing statement as to 'the death and devastation All these islands were submerged ' and the seething waters annihilated almost everything, scarcely leaving aland mark. Do you read the testimonials r .. , - Troops Come Out Today, Knoxville, Tenn., September 6. The army of Tennessee, which has been encamped at Coal Creek and Olive Springs for the protection of the state's convicts for the past year, wil1 be removed tomorrow. The troopB f-om Olive Springs will be l,rought to Knoxville, paid off and 'aastered out of service, while the troops from Coal Creek will be re- moved to Yarnel's station, two miles south of Clinton. Fears were expressed here today that there will be a great upspring of the miners as soon as the troops are removed. A great many miners are now lying around idle and will stoop almost to any kind of depreda tion. It is an assured fact that the troops are to be removed tomorrow and the action of the miners will be looked forward to by many with bated breath.
