It is the purpose oi this moTement to lonna a new church and not a new sect. There are already a good many sects; some . large ana powerful and some so small that they aeeerre to be. called insects. The idea of the new church is to unify all the churches in the .. terrice of God There are many calls for unity. The age calls for it and the tint calls lor it. "There are two millions of people oa Manhatten Island, and of that number there are not 50,000 who are regular attendants at any Protestant church. .

It is a toss-up whether Oscar Wildo or his former associates are entitled to the most contempt. The postmen of London together walk something like 4S,350 miles per day, a distance nearly equal to twice the circumference of the arlobe. When churches begin to deal courageously with the temperance question the liquor problem will be half solved. Ireland was formerly Ierne, or the "Western Isle." It was called the "Emerald Isle" because of the brilliant color of its verdure, which throughout the year ia of a lovely green. Chicago is bound to lead. A woman starved to death there be cause of the inability of her husband to provide food for her. The man was living when last heard from. If the Monroe doctrine isn't ro bust enough to prevent England walking all over Nicaragua and Ven eruela it is high time that the Uni ted States was adopting a doctrine that is. Schools for tbe teaching of good manners should be opened in a num ber of States, if the behavior of the members of their legislatures is in dicative of their private citizens. One of the most remarkable sights to be seen in Australia is a burning mountain 1,8.0 feet in height. The mountain is supposed to be under laid with an inexhaustible coal seam, which in some way became ignited. It was burning long before the ad vent of whitemen to that part of the country. Plans have been made for connect ing the cities of New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore and Washington by a trolley line. A road to connect Baltimore and Washington is now under way, and the same company has a charter permitting the exten sion of the road to the Pennsylvania line, where, according to the plans ontlined, it will connect with a line to Philadelphia. The line from Jersey City to Newark is already in operation. We do not believe that President Cleveland is a drunkard, but if we knew him to be such our respect for the office he holds would keep us silent, although it does not seem to have had that effect upon preacher Lansing, of Massachusetts. Some people seem utterly unable to com prehend the distinction between a proper criticism of the public acts of an official and slandering his pri vate habits. A great International Exposition of Industries and Fine Arts, author ised by the Federal government of Mexico, by concession dated Janu ary 9th, 1895, will be inaugurated in the city of Mexico on the 2nd of April, 1896, and will remain open for a period of at least six months. This will be Mexico's first exposi tion. It is to include all kinds of industrial, scientific, commercial, and artistic productions, and to em brace, in fact, the whole range of human activity. The Exposition grounds are situated at the foot of the castle of Chepultepec, on the grand avenue De la Beforma, within ten minutes ride from the center of the city of Mexico, and comprise an area of about C00 acres. TRYlStt TO ESCAPE THE RESPOXSI BILITT. The Progressive Fanner is honest enough to admit that the Douglass Legislature cost , ,25, .," more than its predecessor. But it does itsbest tof shield the "statesmen" who compose that body and tries to make them only indirectly re sponsible for their extravagance, says: "We believe that a majority the members were in favor economy. If there was any extrava gance and it seems quite likely, the heads of the clerical departments and officers are to blame. Somo of the assistant clerks came before they were actually needed and wo hear that they drew pay for the entire session, some of them from the day they were elected. This was wrong, and those who are responsible will be so held." This all sounds very well, but the Fusionists will not be allowed ;o escape the responsibility on such a poor and unworthy excuse. It is the Republicans and the Popnlists who composed a majority of the Legislature whom the people will hold responsible for this reckless expenditure of the State's money. The clerks and officers were elected by them, were their servants and acted by their commands. By a resolution of Mr. Ewart, the princi pal clerk was required early in the session to submit a list of the em ployes in both Houses with their per diem and duties to the General Assembly. This list was approved and the game of looting the State Treasury went on. The Progressive Farmer is correct. There was extravagance in the employment of the clerks and laborers, as well as in many other matters, but it is not the clerks and laborers whom the people will hold responsible News & Observer. Remedy for Diptheria. It is reported that Professor Loftier, of Greifswald, the discover er of the diptheria bacillus, has sug gested a new remedy for the disease. The mixture recommended is said to consist of alcohol, 60 per cent: toluol. 30: and solution of ferric chloride 4. Menthol is added to deaden the pain caused by the ap plication, which is effected bv means of pieces of wadding, the affected parts being at first treated every three or lour nonrs. Of seventy-one .patients treated by this method from the outset, all have been saved, while only one death occurred out of twenty-six cases treated after the second day of the attack. REPEALED WITHOUT RjMEilY. Ml'MCIPAL ELECTION LAWS. Major C. Iwl Makes a Mtartllag Dis coTeiy The E eeiioa Law of the Last Legis'atnre Repe a's All Town Elec tion Laws Siure 1883 Bat Does Not Provide Any SubHiiste Except Where Charters Were Changed The Ilepublicans of the city re tained Major C. Dowd, as counsel a few days ago to ascertain if they could not apply to a Superior Court Judge to issue a mandamus compell ing the Clerk of the Court of the county, to appoint registrars and judges of election for the next municipal election in Charlotte to be held under the recently enacted fusiou election law. As a result of his investigation, Maj. Dowd reached the startling conclusion that all municipal elec tion laws enacted in 18S:5, and since had been repealed by the last Leg islature and no election laws pro vided in their place. Maj. Dowd said to an Observer reporter yesterday: ' Section 1 of the new election law repeals chapter 10 of The Code, and 'all laws relating to elections since The Code. Thus all State laws for elections are re pealed, and paragraph 2 is still broader. It repeals all laws charters and everything else relating to elections since The Code. The lang uage is as broad as the English language itself 'all laws which re late to elections' passed since The Code was adopted in J88;5. This of course includes municipal election laws." Maj. Dowd said he had examined the charter of Charlotte, which pro vided for a city election by a law passed before 1883 in 1881. Hences the Charlotte municipal election law remains unrepealed. But other cities may not be as lucky as Charlotte in this respect. Maj. Dowd said he saw that registra tion was going on in Raleigh and Wilmington under the new election law, but he presumed that it was under the amended charters of those cities amended by the recent Leg islature. The election law of the State, passed by the late Populist Republican Legislature, does not relate to municipal elections at all, Maj. Dowd went on to say. except in so far as it repeals them. There is nothing in it relating to towns until in the latter part of it where one or two provisions are to be found relating to penalties and qualifica tions for voters, but which are not in harmony with the general pur pose of the bill, and were evidently interpolated by somebody who had not even read the bill. In cities which this new law may affect, and whose charters may not have been amended, if there is no provision of law for presen t munici pal authoiities to hold over, they will have no city government. In no event can this affect Wil mington. Star. THE? ARE (JOIXfJ IT BLIND. Treasary Officials At Sea as U I ace me Tax They do aot Kaw What the Law In. Washington April 10. Treasury officials, in the absence of the full text of the Supreme court decision on the Income Tax law, are Btill groping in the dark as to its exact meaning and have therefore been unable to send out supplemental in structions to collectors as to how the law that still remains shall be carried out. The collectors will have to be guided, until they receive official instructions, by their own best judgments. Many telegraphic inquiries, both from internal revenue officials and private parties, are being received at the treasury and are being answered as well as they can be with the exist ing light. It is admitted on all hands, as the matter is more closely studied, that much confusion must necessarily arise from the elimination of rental receipts from returns, as this excep tion will affect cognate questions. Commissioner Miller is devoting his entire time to straightening out the tangle and hopes to have comprehen sive supplemental instructions ready for issuance by to-morrow at the latest. WILL BUT 20 MORE UUXBOlTS For Use Against Caba May be Pur chased in America Objee ioa Made. The third lot of troops for the Cuban campaign will embark toward the end of April. They probably will relieve the troops now at Porto Rico, and the latter will be sent to the scene of action. The decision of the government to buy from the Tinted States the gunboats needed to complete the squadron in Cuban waters is con demned by many influential politi cians, who are convinced that the insurrection gets secret encourage ment and support from Washing ton. London. April 8. The Central News correspondent in Madrid says: "The Spanish government will invite tenders from native and foreign firms for twenty gunboats to be used in Cuban waters. The contract will be given to the firm offering the quickest, cheapest, and best work." PIERCED 7-INCH 8TEEL PLATE. Important and SaeeesA.'ul Tests of Armor Piercing Shell and Percuss ioa Foaes. Washington-, April 10. Captain Sampson, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy Department, and his assistants conducted two very important and successful tests at the Navy proving ground to-day at Indian Head, Md. The first was a test of semiarmor piercing nickel steel shell. The shell, as required by the test, passed through a seven inch nickel steel plate without ex ploding or exposing the large charge of powder it carried. The second test was that of percus sion fuses, and was made to deter mine at what distance the shell would explode after passing through an obstruction. In this test a screen was erected in the river, and a series of stakes about six feet apart driven behind it. The shells passed through the screen successfullv, and burst ten or twelve feet on the other side. The experiment proved successful, as the distance at which the shells exploded was just about what tho Department desired. One of the same kind of shells was also fired through a two-inch steel plate, burst ing on the other side. A succssful test was also made with the six-inch gun on cases. H0L WEEK AS0 tJOOI) FRIDAY. Anniver&arr of the Last Days of Christ' Life and the Event of Darn ! Day in Succession. The week that began with lust or Palm Sunday, as it is culled, lia been designated at different time as "Great Week," or "Passion-Tide," but more commonly as Holy Week, by which name it is now generally Known. Each day marks the occur rence of events in our Saviour's life, just previous to His death, and an account of the beliefs and traditions in this connection may be of inter est at this time. 1'AI.M SUNDAY, so named from the ancient customs of distributing palm branches among the faithful, is observed as the anni versary of our Lord's triumphal en try into Jerusalem, at which time the multitude "cut down branches and strewed them in the way," and cried, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David ! It was the day on which the shepherds drove the lambs into the city to be sacrificed at the Passover, and then came, too, the gentle Saviour, our very Paschal lamb. MONDAY was the day of the purification of the Temple when they "that sold and bought" therein were cast out, and the tables of the money chang ers were overthrown. This was the second cleansing of the Tempfc On this day, too, was the morning walk from Bethany and the enrsing of the barren fig trree, which "prcs- ently withered away." TL'KSD A Y witnessed the questionings and dia putings of tbe several sects of the Jews in the Temple, who demanded of the Lord by what authority He did these things, and sought to en tangle Him in His talk, to the end that they might denounce him to the Roman authorities. The de struction of Jerusalem, and of the Temple, which came to pass in the reign of the Roman Emperor Ves pasian, A. D., ?0, were fortoM on this day. ON W KPN ESI AY the traitor Judas conspired with the Chief Priests for the betrayal of his Master. The tradition is that the day was passed in privacy at Beth any by the other disciples. THURSDAY IS THE DIKS M A V D ATI, or Maundy Thursday the latter being a corruption of the Latin name the day of the mandate, and is so called for that on that day the "new commandment" was given, "That ye love one another," and at the institution of tho Lord's sup per, "This do in remembrance of me." In early times it was also called "Dies Coenae Domini" as being the day upon which the Sacrament of trie Lord's Supper was instituted. From this holy feast the traitor Judas went forth to his deed of infamy. The washing of feet, in imiation of our Redeemer's act of humility to his disciples, is still practiced in some countries, and in some it is a day of alms giving. In England certain royal i(maund," or gifts, are distributed on Maundy Thursday The night of Thursday were enacted the sad scenes of Ge hsemane: the agony when "His sweat was, ns it were, great drops of blood;" the heavy sleep of the disciples, who could not watch with Him one hour; the be trayal; the arrest; the desertion. This day is sometimes incorrectly called Holy Thursday, which name is more properly applied to Ascen sion Dav. Today the German "Still Fri day" known at one time as "Long Friday," but for ages past more ap propriately as Good Friday, com memorates the completion of the scheme of the Redemption in the Crucifixion. To this sublime cul mination the history of the "Man of Sorrows" has been advancing since Christmas-tide, lhe fickle multitude that hailed His coming on Palm Sunday with Hosanuas, now fiercely demand His death: "Away with him; crucify him!" and invoke upon themselves the dread ful curse, "His blood be on us and on our children!" As was perfect the life in all that was truly good, so was the death that terminated that life on earth a perfect sucrifice. A Chicken Cholera Cure. By above wo do not mean the rem edy used, but to state the fact that an outbreak was successfully combat ed, and with the loss of but few fowls. Nine times out of ten what is call ed cholera is something else diarr hoea, dysentery, or severe case of in digestion. This case, however, we think, was the "Sermon-pure" artic le, as it spread rapidly, and its quick work when a fowl was once taken, are characteristics of the disease. The trouble occured among the fowls belonging to F. E. Emery, the agriculturist of the North Carolina Experiment Station. Raleigh, X. C. The treatment was a strong dose of Epsom salts, dissolved in water, which was fed them from spoons: then the house and yards were thoroughly disinfected by sprinkling with water in which sulphuric acid had been mixed in the proportion of one pint of acid to eight gallons of water. The ailing fowls were also sprinkled with the same. After the dose of salts and water, a teaspoonfnl of carbolic acid to a gallon of water was given them as their regular drink, and continued until danger was past. In the food for thirty fowls was put one heaping teaspoonful of asafortida. Prompt isolation and disinfection of house and yard undoubtedly had much to do with stopping the spread of the disease. Epsom salts is one of the best of medicines for a poultrvman to keej) on hand. For a case of sudden cold, which might terminate in roup, there is nothing better to allay the fever and clean out the poison than a pinch of Epsom salts in the drink ing water. In any case where a pur gative is needed, salts will be much more effective and better adapted than castor oil. The latter has killed nearly every bird to which it was given in our experience. Asaftida will be found useful, in any bowel trouble. W e use the tincture in the drinking water, same as the salts. Poultry Monthly.

Superior Court, April term, 18!t"i. Elias.Carr, in behalf of himself and all other citizens of the Stato of North Carolina, vs. Oetavins Coke Secretary of State of North Carolina. COM PLAINT. The plaintiff, in behalf of himself and all other citizens of the State of North Carolina, complaining, al leges: 1st. That defendant is Secretary of State of North Carolina, and by virtue of his office has the custody of all the acts passed by the Legis lature of l'Jo, or which purport to have been passed by it. '2nd. It, becomes his duty by law to deliver certified copies of said acts to the public printer of said State for printing and publication. ;5rd. When so printed and pub lished, they become presumptive evidence that they are laws duly and constitutionally enacted. 4th. On the l-ith day of March, A. I). 8!.r. a bill was signed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Legislature of North Carolina, at its last session, in the presence of each House, and purports to have been ratified upon that day, which reads as follows: "An Act to regulate assignments and other conveyances of like nature in North Carolina. "The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact : "Section 1. That all conditional sales, assignments, mo;tgages, or deeds of trust which are executed to secure any debt, obligation note, or bond, which gives prefence to any creditor of the maker shall bo abso lutely void as to existing creditors. "Section 2. That all laws in con flict with this act are hereby re pealed . "Section : That this act shall be in force from and after its ratifica tion. "Ratified the 13th dav of March, 1 805 " r)th. The said bill, as this plain tiff is informed and believe, was not enacted a law in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of this State. ilth. The Journals of both Houses of the Legislature show that it was not read three times in either House Tth. The Journal of the Senate shows that it was never read before that body, and never passed any reading in it. 8th. The Journal of the House of Representatives shows that it was introduced in that body and referred to a committee, the said coni tee rejorted it back " to the House with an amendment, and that it was laid on the table on its second reading in that bodv, on the 11th day of March, A. D.,18!;(. Oth. The bill is marked and stamped, Tabled 12th daj of March. A. I).. 1 89o. 10th. It is now deposited amongst the tabled bills in their proper re ceptacle in what is known as the Old State Library, in the Capitol. 11th. By some means unknown to this plaintiff, but which he ia in formed and believes to be fraudulent, the said bill was enrolled by some person to this plaintiff unknown, in the office of the Enrolling Clerk, and signed by mistake by the Presi dent of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives upon the day upon winch it purports to have been ratified. 12th. The copy of the enrolled bill purporting to have been ratified, as above stated, is now in the custo dy of the defendant, the Secretary of the Slate of North Carolina. 13th. The said defendant, in per ormance of the duty by law im posed upon him, is compelled to deliver for printing and publication to the Public Printer of this State a certified copy of said fraudulent act to be published and printed as an act of .the legislature of 1805, unless restrained from so doing by the order of this Court. 14th. The said defendant now threatens anil declares his intention to so deliver a certified copy of the said fraudulent act to the Public Printer to be published and printed as aforesaid. 15th. The act when so printed and published becomes presumpt ively an act of the legislature, duly enacted, and a valid law of the State. 10th. This plaintiff is informed and believes that after such printing and publication there is no legal method by which such presumption can be rebutted in the Courts of this State so long as said act remains in the custody of the Secretary of said State filed with the acts of the legislature legally passed by it. l?th. Plaintiff is a resident and citizen of the State of North Caro lina and owns property within said State over and above his homestead and personal property exemptions: he proposes to reside in said State hereafter, and he. in common with many other citizens will be injured in his right of alienation of his property if said fraudulent act of the legislature is printed and pub lished in the manner abovo stated or remains in the cutody of the said Secretary of State filed with acts of the legislature as above set forth; that he is a creditor of debtors who are indebted to others and will be deprived by the said act of the right to secure debts so due him by mort gage, conditional sales, deeds of trust or assignments, unless the re lief prayed for in this complaint is granted. 18th. That a summons has been served in this case upon the defen dant together with a copy of this complaint. Wherefore the plaintiff prays that an order be made by this Court directing said defendant Secretary of State to show cause why a peremp tory mandamus shall not be issued against him to compell him to remove the said act from the files of the laws required to be kept by him, and why he should not be enioined from delivering: a certified copy of said act to the Public Printer of this JState to be printed and published as a law of this State, and the plaintiff further prays that the said defendant may be restrained in the meantime from delivering a certified copy of said act to the Public Printer to be printed and published as aforesaid , and demands such other and further relief as the Court may adjudge that he is entitled to in the premises, and asks that this complaint 6hall be treated as an affidavit for the purpose of obtaining temporary restraining order for which he pravs. F.

Pl.filiUES OF REFORM I' N KEPT, The Schoo's Damaged and Expenses Increased A Religious Paper's View of i he Bee rd of the LRis'ature The following extracts are from the Biblical Recorder. We espec ially commend them to the con sideration of that class of persons who from ignorance or viciousness do not or will not believe what 1 emocratie papers say of the work of the Legislature. T:.c Recorder is, as everybody knows, a religious newspaper, the organ of tho Baptist denomination in North Carolina, and a paper that can have no inter est whatever in misrepresenting the facts. It says: "The school children are poorer for the work of the legislature. Less money than they have been having will be left when the large appropriations to other objects (less needy and contributing far less to the common good) have been drawn out. And the Treasury, already $00,000 behind, will proba bly be a great deal further in ar rears when the next Assembly comes from the people, to succeed that which now faces them. "A law was made to let the public printing to the lowest bidder: but whenafirmof the wrong political affiliation made the lowest bid, it was given to another firm. This stands out so clearly that he who rnns may read. "The six per cent, interest law is the one pledge religiously observed; and it could be kept only by the severest struggle. While we think it is a timely experiment, we do not think its wisdom is unquestionable. Building and loan associations were finally protected by a law that en ables them to collect principal and interest monthly. A banker can do likewise. Of the other two princi pal laws of this session, the county government and the election law, we will not express an opinion until we have studied them. Wc fear the former will deliver some of our counties over to the negroes; the latter seems genorally conceded to be just a little better than the for mer law. It may have been wise to take the selection of school books f rom the hands of one man, as was charged; but it was unwise to leave so far-reaching a matter to the counties. It may have been wise to break the hold of a probably trust; but it was unwise to expose the parents of the school children to a certain expensive change of books; and inasmuch as the book houses will have to send drummers over the State, selling at retail, when the new law goes into effect, the prices of books will be correspondingly higher. We do not care to defend the for"merplan, but it is better than the new. "The Assembly was besieged at the beginning by a scrambling con glommeration of office seekers; in fact, members of the Assembly itself turned out to be office-seekers, and when one seemed anxious to get A bi'l passed providing for an office, a colleague would confound him with the question, 'Are von not a candidate for this office ? ' It is a pity that the Legislature allowed itself to be turned aside from its work by office seekers and caucuses. Making laws, not making offices to support party servants, is the plain duty of legislators. "When expenses were cut down in one place they were increased in two. The salary of the superinten dent of the penitentiary was reduced $500; two courts were created that will cost more than $50,000. The salary of railroad commissioners was cut down to $1,500, to take effect in 1807; the office of lumber inspector was established, at a salary of not more than $2,000 a year. Appropriations to asylums and some of the institutions of higher education were increased. Ten thousand dollars were voted for the Confederate monument, as a poace offering for the Douglas blun der."

The government of Guatemala declares that, thinking it had the right to do so, it has exercised acts of sovereignty in the territory of West Sacantum, and it has not in tended to offend Mexico. Never theless, for the sake of harmony, Guatemala agrees, through a feeling of justioe, to pay an indemnity to Mexico for damages done by her occupation of the territory and for the destruction of property. An arbitrator, to be appointed by com mon accord, will fix the amount of indemnity. Mexico desists from her claim for indemnity for expenses in mobiliz ing troops on the Guatemala fron tier, owing to the occupation of logging camps on the West Laean tum River by Guatemalan agents. Guatemala consents to an imme diate occupation of that portion of the disputed territory already deci ded by both surveying commissions to belong to Mexico. On the other hand, Mexico agrees to do the same concerning the territory declared to belong to Guatemala. In case where the surveyors disa gree the mean between the two sur veyors is to be expected. Article 6 of the agreement fixes the geographical position of Chixoy and L'sumacinta. The agreement is to be submitted for ratification to the Mexican Sen ate and the National Assembly of Guatemala, but it is mutually agreed that the agreement may be published without waiting for its ratification.

EVIDENCE OF CRIMINALITY. In the Passage of the Mortgaga Aet The Biblical Recorder Scores the Legislature Heavily for This and Other Matters. "Tho light turned on the startling act making it unlawful to give a mortgage, reveals more than is in the act itself. 'lu'fore this we never dreamed that our legislative department is so loose that any one who can bribe a set of clerks can get a bill passed, or koep one from passing. Bills have to pass three readings in each branch. Hut law makers would rather make a show of having them read having only their number ami title announced and stay in session only from lo a. m. till --2 p. m., four hours. Working is working, ami a day's work is a day's work: and the fact that one is working for his Stato does not make it right for him to work four hours a day, does not make it any less reprehensible to hur ry over matters that affect the whole people. "It has been said in one paper that the author of the bill offered it in spite and in a spirit of retaliation. If this be so, he ought to be driven from the face of the earth; if it is not, he ought to make the paper apologize. "No matter how we look at it, the law is evidence of something criminal criminal carelessness, bri bery or forgery." Biblical Recorder. The Croton aqueduct in New York surpasses all modern engineer ing efforts of this kind. NAVAL RESERVE CO CRT MARTIAL Lien'.
