Fatten arose and in loud swelling tones recited the doughty deeds of Mr. Butler, telling how he "had once locn rotted egged by hoodlums but was now Senator from .North Lurouna. As soon as the sobs evoked by the eloquent Patten s words had died away, f?en ator Butler came forward, the same serine, smiling Senator Butler ns of old, addressed himself tirst of all to tho women present. The audience heard him with attention, though there was little enthusiasm. Mr Butler's address contained nothing new or striking. He asserted that, whcjeoneman had been enriched bv protection, ten had become mil lionaires through iniquitous fi nancial" legislation. After ho had finished an intelligent ltepub lican remarked that it -'contained little information." Mr. Butler, while nothing of an orator, ij an at tractive and pleasing speaker. Mr Pritchard next claimed the attention of the audience for half an hour. The Senator proclaimed his allegiance to the free and unlimited coinago of silver. He also defended the Fusion legislature. Congressman Shuford and Maj Untune also made remarks. .. Tha town treasury will probably be enriched by tho occasion, as the calaboose was filled to overflowing by the gay and festive before the day was over. BIX XEW rj BQATrf. Bids for Their Construction Called fur By the Secretary of tbe Navy. Secretary Herbert has called for If rroposala for the construction of six ight draught gun boats which Con gress authorized at a cost not ex ceeding 23O,00O each, exclnsivo of armament." '". Four of these vessels are to be equipped with considerable sail power in addition to steam, the others having masts for military purposes tmly., The great inovation involved in these yessels, as far as the American navy is concerned, lies in the fact that while their frames anil general construction will bo of steel, their hulls are to be sheathed with wood and copper. The esseutial reasons for this method of construction and for the selection of the types are that the yessels will bo largely in dependent of docking facilities and economical in the use of fuel. The docking expenses, whether at home or abroad, and the cost of fuel arc two very serions ontlays that these yessels am counted upon to mini mize, while their activity, range of action and general efficiency are greatly increased. . The character of the service for which these gunboats are particu larly assigned requires that they be exposed , to musketry fire and the housing of the major-part of the battery by an unbroken deck be sides aiding niaterially to the stiff ness and strength of the vessels, gives admirable protection to the guns craw in action. The necessa rily exposed position of the boat and the stern guns is justified ouly by their arc of fire and possible useful ness in a running action: while for the river service, for which these boats are particularly fitted, the dis position of the gun-deck battery is all that could be desired. The vessels with sail power have single screws, the steam propeller boats having twin screws and differ ing in many ways. The arnaments, being identical in both types, will consist of six 4-inch, four -pound and two 1-pound guns, all rapid fire. International JJinietaUisiu. From a Jacksonville (Fla.) paper we copy the following sensible para graph: "We hope that some good will result from the conferences between the English, French, and German bimetaliists. We believe that inter national bimetallism offers the only safe solution of tho money question, and that the present furnishes op portunities of success for an inter national conference that" may not occur again iu mauy years.-' Why not try international free coinage? It can do no harm, and it may produce happy results. A uni versal currency would be a natural result of international free coinage. Democrats, Look Out. Please take notice, that while North Carolina Democrats are call ing each other names over the silver question, and while the Populists arc proclaiming from the housetops that none of the silver medieiue is genuine unless you tind their names blown on the bottle, the liepnbliean? are keeping so still hereabouts that, if the other fellows would keep quiet, you could hear the buzzing of the mosquitoes on Pamlico Sound on the top of Mount Mitchell or could catch the strains of tho har mony between the Eaves and Mott factions from Currituck to Camp bell, of Cherokee. The local lights of the C O. P. are putting in no little time 'siek in" on the "clansmen"' to (lv at eailf others throats. But enter the fight themselves! Narry time, Morgan ton Herald.

New Berne, X. C, July lo, ''Jo. En. Jul i;nal: In writing the several articles to 'I'm: Joi knai. itely in regard to financial u flairs. I had no hope of reforming those lepartment officials, nor t ho nation il government. But I had some hope by showing up the fallieics and ine insistencies of our present national government banking system to bring this important question before the people of North Carolina. write now with the hope that others more capable and able will follow or more properly speaking will take the lead in this important matter, especially the press. In the first place, we waste our time and energies in the discussion of the silver question. If the peo ple of North Carolina acted wisely they would deniaud free and unlimi ted coinage of silver at the mints, ratio of the world which is 15 1-2 to 1, this being the only ratio that will cause silver to circulate among -the people. If coined at IC to 1 then it will go to a premium and the silver bullion will be put into bar silver iustead of being coined which is in favor of the speculators and bankers and against the pro ducers. But when all this is accomplished we have simply restored silver to a fixed mint ratio value with gold, instead of a commercial value as now, anil 'is a matter of course it will give us once more a foundation to build our monetary system upon, which is the tirst essential step to be taken towards reaching the true route which can onlv lead us to prosperity. The great noise in tho newspapers about tho better times now approach ing with increase of wages is simply repeating what has been published for the past fifteen years. There are a few cases where wages have been restored but in no instance has there been an increase over those of 1S!I3. Our exports are falling off and even the internal revenue fell off ovet four million dollars against a year ago which was by no means a prosperous year, and this too when the tax was increased. Does this look as if prosperity was advance mg? Now the question is, what are we going to do about this currency question? Are we to continue to hug the delusive phantom of hope like we have been doing during tlie post twenty years and wait for the National government to correct this great evil? Or will we remember once more that we have some State right's left one of which, and the most important one, is a mouetary system for our State, - It ia evident that something must be done. The question is what and how. There aro two great obstacles in the way of prosperity; one is scarcity of money and the-other is high rates of interest. These two obstacles will prevent any country or State from prospering. "Will we of North Carolina not at least make the effort to get rid of these two great evils. We cannot justify ourselves to hope for this by National legislation; we must do it onrselves. It seems to me that the Ant and best thing the people of North Caro lina can do is to provide for a paper currency equal in every respect to gold (or silver when restored to parity.) A currency that will bo without fluctuation and maintain a level circulation at all times and which will reach our industries in every nook and corner of the State and which will be worth the same this week- as it was last week and the next year as it has been this year. No country or State can ever thrive with a currency that is con stantly fluctuating. No business can be safe when the foundation constantly gives away. Nearly the only source we have in North Carolina to derive wealth from is the soil. Our soil is ex haustel to a great extent and our mines are undeveloped. How are we to develop these industries? I only see one source, which is in our young generations, coming after each other, but what can they do without available money to assist them? Would it be safe at all for them even to undertake the task when their danger is so great to lose what little they may have be sides their labor? With natural good soil and a climate unexcelled, and the markets of the world at our borders, North Carolina is actually capable of maintaining twenty-five million of people in prosperity. Will the State continue to drive her young energetic men to other States, or will she provide a means that will induce tnem to stay at home? Are we not now losing one third of the products that we should produce ourselves and buying them from other States? But the greatest of all evils is the rate of interest. How is it possible to improve our wornout soil and develop our mines with a rate of in terest like we now have? A man might as well undertake to sail against wind and tide as to pay double and even more interest than he could possibly expect to realize out of. the investment. It is the rate of interest which gives to all properties the real, scientific and true basis of value. All incomes, investments, profits and business of all kinds is based upon tho interest ratio. If interest is too high then properties decline in value if the interest is too low then properties increase in value. For instance I now pay il 00.00 rent for a house and lot per annum that would not sell for over $800.00 today, if for that much for cash, therefore I pay 12-12 per cent. If the interest were 4 per cent then the house and lot would sell for 1 ,0OO tc $1,200 and my rent would bo from $."0 to $'10 per annum; it is so in all cases. We in North Carolina are not en dowed to master impossibilities and we should not continue one day longer than is possible this crusade against prosperity which it really is. No man will employ labor and pay more than the laborer earns him. Neither can he employ 4money if the interest is more than tho income from that source. This is a settled fact. The question now occurs, how is a fair and equal rate of interest to be brought about. ly legislation : Not a bit of it. The constitution of our State itself could not establish a rate that could be enforced only as far as matured papers aro concerned. This general rate of interest can only be i.-iprr ' way i ni.imii'i hrought ah .iriciicv w- ' ' I si hi,'. I that our S ut rcugu i. i 1 in 1! IS ..!' St ate can We Mo! i : prosperous.

ANOTHER DISPENSARY ROW. 4 Bloody Eight as ihe Constables Wi re 1 Makinz n Arrest Conniciine Siate-1 ments as to V ho began Firing. i Coi.l-muia, S. C, July 12 A few! days ago the State authorities began I to apply to ex-liquor dealers a sec-1 tionof the State Dispensary law.; which provides that a Circuit judge! can enjoin any man from soiling i liquor, and, in case he violates it. permitting him to be hauled up for j contempt of court; that the judge! can then on almost any kind of a; showing declare him guilty and sen - tence him to the penitentiary, doing away with the constitutional right j of a" trial by jury, which is g'.aran-j teed to every man.

He told the judge that the jiirv desired a litte instructions. The sherilT returned to tho court house and sent for the prisoner. Just as the prisoner reached the couri house steps everybody in town ap peared to have seen him, and, with one accord , all rushed to the court house. They could be seen coining from all directions. Men rushid out of the stores in their shirt sleeves and put their coats on as thev ran. Women left their homes and rushed to the scene. A juror wanted some instruction which was given, after which the jury again retired to their room, and' in three minutes returned with a verdict ready. As they came in to take their seats the audience was as still as death and the clerk asked the prisoner to stand and hear the verdict. The prisoner arose and stood as firm and determined look ing as if he had his life in his own hands. Ho looked a little pale, but not more so than usual. liy him sat his little boy. Dermont, and around him were his friends and counsel. As he arose, the judge asked the jury if they hud selected some one to speak for them. As he cased speaking the old gray bearded (Quaker deacon raised himself about to a half upright posture and said: Not guilty." If it had not been for the timely warning of the judge one side of the House it seemed would have sprung to Shemwell, but they quietly came and shook the hand of the prisoner after he was discharg ed. His wife hud not reached the court house. She heard on the street that the jury had sent for the judge She was driving a pair of horses to a buggy as the news reached her ears." She lashed the horses and made for the court house. She came in with her face brightening, waikod fast down the aisle, sprang tc her husband and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. River and Harbor Improvements. WasIH n'i.Tox, July 12 The re port of 'apt. Thomas L. Casey, having charge- of rivers and harbors in the district around Norfolk, Va. . shows that commerce is rapidly re sponding to the advantages secured bv widening and deepening the chan nel approaches by dredging. The ( .overnnient project for improve ment of Nanscinond river has been irosoe it ted, and the scheme for t 10 v hicKahominy has hcen completed, securing a channel about eight feet deep at tho head of navigation. By the inland, water route, made fa mous by President Cleveland's fish ing excursions, the passage from Norfolk south to Currituck sound has been deepened to 8 1-2 feet as a minimum, and over most of the dis tance h feet at low water may be carried. The amounts expended Wring ihc past fiscal year in this district was as follows: Norfolk harbor -4.Lio, Nanscmond river J 0. n.'A, Chickahorniny $.i,170, Ap pamatox river $2, 02s, Inland water route -Ld2o, lioanoko river, N.
