ET XV, HILL.
Now we hare it that Mr. Hill, of New
York, ia to lead the Democratic opposl
tion in the Senate to the Wilson tariff
bill. It ia announced In the New York
Son, a paper which ia eapecially friendly
to him, that he will fight the bill in can
cos and in open Senate. Well, good-bye,
Senator Hill. Yon never did have much
chance to get a Democratic presidential
nomination; bolt yonr party's tariff bill
and that little will go glimmering. It had
been supposed that Mr. Hill was too as
tnte a politician and too good a party
man to array himself, as the bal
ance of the New York Democracy is do
ing against the party, but he seems to be
possessed of the notion of all the rest of
them, that the New York Democracy is
the Democracy of the nation, and that
the party in all other sections must sur
render to it or be run over by it. It isn't
going to do i; it is already disgusted with
the obstiocli vent ds of one element and
the thimble-rigging of another element
up there.
Any Democratic Senator or Represent
ative has a right to file his objections to
to the Wilson tariff bill with the caucus
or committee, and to fight it out to the
aid before either or both of these tribu
nals, tut when it comes to joining the en
emles of his party in open House to de
feat what is stiictly a party measure, that
is quite another matter and no man can
dj it and not lose caste with his fello
Democrats.
It has not occurred to us until this
minute to extend the Sheriff a welcome
to our shores. All of his ways are not
North Kerliaa ways but he is mighty wel
come. May he have a good time, even
though we have to exhaust all "the case
of other things ' which the dispatches
told us were put aboard the Violet along
with the guns and ammunition. All we
ask of him is that be do not shoot any of
our hogs, as his predecessor, Mr. Harri
son, did one of those of Virginia
while hunting deer in
Governor Carr should,

him
courtesy go out to
on our oyster patrol
meet

and
deliver to him an address of wel
come, but as the Governor seems to be
making no move in that direction, the
Obsbbteb, in behalf of the State, tenders
the Old Man the freedom of our North
Carolina waters (juniper water is said to
reduce sugar to a syrup as well as Apol
lanaris and to leave an uncommonly
agreeable farewell), and hopes that he
will haye great luck and be able to take
home a whole game bag full of can vat -back,
red-head and mallard docks to his
widow. Miss Ruth and Miss Essie.
The tffort which the Richmond & Dan
ville Railroad is making; referred to in
an article copied into this paper from the
Richmond State, to induce immigration
to the territory which its lines traverse,
Is wise and commendable. It is only by
the prosperity of the country tributary
to its system that it can prosper, and for
this country to prosper aa it should it
needs to b8 more densely peopled. The
Richmond & Danville and Seaboard Air
Line, two of the three great railroad sys
tems which operate In North Carolina,
have ever been alive to the importance
of immigration and have done much
ia the past to advertise North Car
olina and extended many kindnesses to
intending settlers. We hope that, with
the active co-operation of the railroads,
North Carolina may yet be able to induce
o her borders many new citizens of the
right sort. There are some we are better
off without, and we would rather have
none than to take foreigner! indlacrimi
nately as they land at New York from
continental Europe.
The Honomhl
Medicine Lodge, aeea with his mind's
eye forty or fifty Populist Congressmen
la the next House instead of the ten or a
dozen in the present House, and thus he
ufuret them out: "If a Republican be
comes dlsaatltfled he does not go over to
the Democrats, he comes to us. This ia
true of the Western Retrahlicana. If
Southern Democrat gets out of sympathy
with bis party, he will not go to the
extreme of Joining the Republicans, he
wm pnen nis tent in our camp." We
wonder what Jeremiah think of the
Cohesivenets of a party which is made up
Of people who join It not because they
like it or believe in the things that it
standi for, but because they hare gotten

Mr. Abram 8. Hewitt has not only
made a speech but has been interviewed,!
and he says that free trade (meaning in
iron) will shut op the iron works of Coop
er, Hewitt & Co . at Trenton, N. J. "The
McKinler bill has almost closed them
and free trade will complete the ruin."
We join the Washington Post in regret
that "Mr. Hewitt did not elaborate his
theory and tell us exactly what sort of
a tariff bill will re-establish his Tren
ton business on a basis of prosperity."
It has been but a very few weeks since
this excellent bat queer and querulous
gentleman said in an interview, the accu
racy of which has not yet been denied,
that the iron-workers of the country had
more to .fear from Carnegie than from
the Wilsen bill. Carnegie is not making
any fuss about the new tariff bill but is
going ahead with the best equipment and
most improved methods, blacking the
eyes of all competitors . Mr. Hewitt was
more candid a few weeks back than now.
It is Carnegie that is hurtingthe Trenton
iron works, along with many of the rest.
It does not fall to the lot of many men
to have as much lynching experience aa
Alexander Rose, of Alleghany, is having.
He joined a lynching party on the night
of the 22d of February, and for his im
mediate share in the sport got all filled up
with buckshot. Now he ia likely to die
and the sheriff is dragging him around
over tha State to keep lynchers from
getting him. The incident causes as to
recall, and to quote again, what was said
by the Master when one of those who
were with Him drew his sword and
struck a servant of the high priest and
smote off his ear: "They that tike the
sword shall perish with the sword." It
causes us also to recall a case within the
Obskkvkb's knowledge, and which it has
once before referred to, of a man who
was an active participant in one lynch
ing and who, within ten years, was him
self the victim of another.

AboatHi Chief.
Savasxah, Ga., Feb. 27. A special to
the Evening Press says: At a dinner
riven by Dr. H. C. White, of the State
University, to Hoke Smith, Secretary of
the Interior, the latter was called on and
responded. In the course of his remarks
he paid a high tribute to President Cleve
land. He said he had been called callous
and stubborn, but it is not so. He is a man
whom to fully appreciate one must know
intimately. It is known that he is a man
slow to form opinions. He takes a quea
tion, weighs it well and hears all side?,
and one may think at first he is not mak
ing any impression on him. Be hears all
you have to say, and thinks over it, con
siders all things and when he has ex
hausted all points of the question and
believes he has reached the truth, he then
forms his own opinions and decides
what is the right thing to do. Then
he is immovable, he is firmness itself, and
you might as well try to move a mount
ain of stone in DeKalb county as
to change this man's convictions.
"I admire his firmness," the speaker
c.aid, and "I admire his courage, I admire
his truthfulness. I would say to you
now that I am a better Cleveland man
to-a ay man i was last xiovemDer one
year ago when I cast my vote for Qrover
Cleveland. There are many who say be
should do this, that and the other while
he should not do things he does. I tell
you, many of these people know not
what they say, and these very people at
the close of the next three years will
realize their error, for then results will
show him to be our friend still and our
Democratic .President.

Special to the Observer.
Asheville, Feb. 28 The particulars
of the killing of W. R. Shelton, Jr., of
Madison county are about as follows:
Sunday night a frolic was in progress at
tne Home oi Litvado shelton, on Spill
corn creek . George Hensley and W. R.
Shelton, Jr., were among the partici
pants During the frolic Hensley told
his wife it was time for her to go home,
but Shelton told Mrs Hensley to stay as
long as she wanted. The woman was
pulled about until her shawl was torn
uff. Then the men drew guns, and
Hensley fired at Shelton, the bullet pass
ing through his heart. Despite his
wound, Shelton fired three shots at
Hensley, and when picked up the pistol
was found cocktd for the fourth shot
Hensley escaped, and has not been seen
since. His wife fears he has been badly
wounded and died in the woods.
The Road Will Be Turned Over to the

postponed the signing of the order until
to-morrow, when, by his direction, Re

that the property will be in the hands of

Washington, Feb. 28 Mr. Voorhees.
Democrat, of Indiana, chairman of the
finance committee, offered a resolution
appointing Senator Mills, Democrat, of
Texas, a member of the nuance am
m it tee during the absence and disability
of Senator Vance, Democrat, of North
Carolina. He asked immediate action'
upon it, but Mr. Hoar, Republican, of
Massachusetts, suggested that the resolu
tion bad better lie over till to-morrow,
and it accordingly went over.
Thereupon, Mr. Frye, Republican, of
Maine, rose to address the Senate on the
Hawaiian question. He opened his
speech with this sentence: "A chapter
of diplomatic history hss just been
written in our republic, discreditable to
this administration and intensely humil
iating to our people. The relations be
tween the United States 'and the Ha
waiian Islands for half a century have
been very peculiar, differing entirely
from that between the United States
and any other people." .
He proceeded to sketch the condition
of the islands and their history down to
the point of the revolution which over
threw the Queen and established the pro
visional government Where, Mr. Frye
asked, had the President of the United
States obtained his authority to interfere
with the established government for its
overthrow? Admittedly the President
had been contriving to overthrow the ex
isting government and to restore the
Queen. He had sent Mr. Jas. H. Blount
to Honolulu with powers more extraor
dinary than were ever given to any am
Dassador, minuter, consul general or
commissioner from the United States.
Mr. Frye read President Cleveland's
letter to President Dole, commending
Mr. Blount to him and closing with the
words, " May God have Your Excellency
in His wise keeping " "Mr. President,"
Mr. Frye continued, "I believe God
heard that prayer of President Cleveland
and answered it. The magnificent cour
age of that little band of white men
which enabled them to say, firmly, with
dignity, We will never surrender,' could
only nave oeen aivmeiy mspirea."
Mr. Frye read the standing naval ree
ulationB which give the sole responsibility
lor landing United states forces on for
eign soil to the officer commanding the
navy at that point and then he read the
dispatch from Secretary of the Navy
Herbert to Admiral Skcrritt saying:
"You will consult freely with Mr
Blount and obey any instructions you
may receive from him " There could
not, Mr. Frye said, be found a parallel
for such an outrageous violation of law
and common decency as that order of
Mr. Herbert.
Mr Gray, Democrat, of Delaware,
found a parallel for it in the instructions
given by President Grant to Mr. Bab
cock, placing the naval forces at San Do
mic go, "at his disposal "
"No Senator," said Mr. Frye, "has s.
right to presume that the wordt, 'at your
disposal,' meant a violation of the law
or of the regulations of the navy. On
the contrary, he is compelled to presume
that it meant, 'Ia accordance with tho
law and with the regulations cf the
navy.' "
"Why," Mr. Gray asked, "will you
presume that in one the one case and n jt
in the other ?"
"Because," Mr. Frye replied, "here ths.
order is direct, 'you shall obey the in
structions given to you by sir. Blount.' "
"What does 'at your disp-uai' meaa
in General Grant's ins. ruction to Mr
Babcock V
It means something entirely differ
ent," said Mr. Frye; "and suppose Gen
eral Grant did violate the law; is one
violation of the law a j notifiable prece
dent for another."
"I Say 'no,' " Mr. Gray admitted, "but
the Senator said that there was no par
allel for this."
"And I still say so," Mr. Frye per
sisted. Mr Frye went on to quote the instruc
tions given to Mr. Willis in regard to
the restoration of the Queen, and from
Mr. Willis' speech to President Dole, in
which he gave renewed assurances of
the friendship and hearty good will of
the American govercmont to President
Dole and to the people of the Hawaiian
Islands and congratulated them on hav
ing entered into the great family of the
free. "And when he said that," Mr.
Frye exclaimed, "he bad in his pocket
instructions from the President of the
United Htates to drive them outside of
the great family of the free and to reduce
them into abject slavery under an en
feebled, weak, degraded monarchy."
"What did Minister Willis mean," Mr
Gray ask el, "by the great family of the
fiee?"
"Free nations," was Mr. Frye's inter
pretation.
"I think that was a very good speech,"
Mr Gray remarked, "and was not con
sistent with gobbling them up after
wards "
Further on in his speech. Mr. Frye,
broke into a passionate outburst of elo
quence "Think you," he said, "a wick
ed Qaeen with barbarian instincts and
vile purposes, blindly stumbles off from
her throne? A government representing
progress, enterprise, Christianity, civill
zation, springs into existence, is recog
nized by all of the great powers, by our
minister, by Presidents Harrison and
Cleveland, and by a commissioner and
by two ministers, one of teem welcoming
it into tne great rumiy or the free, while
he had in his pocket instructions to de
stroy forever fist R v r. m-nt which he
was so effusively w irtii ig. Are we
proud of that? ft ik if it. A Presi
dent of 65,000,000 of peop'e having a min
ister contriving and ccheming, assidu
ously working night and day to restore a
rotten monarchy, interviewing again and
again, a self-dethroned Qaeen, listening
to talk from her so barbarous and savage
that the President did not dare to send it
to Congress and to the people."
At this point Mr. Frye paused and
suggested, as it was now 2 o'clock and he
understood there was to be a caucus at
half past 2, and some executive business
might be desired, he would now yield the
floor
"You may go on," said Mr. Gray in an
undertone.
"I would like to have some more
Democrats to hear me," Mr. Frye said, as
he noticed that there were not more than
ten Democratic Senators in the chamber.
An executive session was thereupon
proposed by Mr. Morgan, and was or
dered. The Senate afterwards, at 2:25,
adjourned until to-morrow.

GSOBGVa BIRTHDAY IH IHI 8ERATBI
How tha Graya and Rererend Senators
Took the Reading; of tha farewell Ad
dreee. ,iv s
Editor W. W. Scott, Jr, Writing from Wash
. inrton to Bis Paper, the Lenoir Topic
At IS o'clock Senator Martin, of Kan
sae, took hla stand beside the Vice Presi
dent and began to read Washington's
farewell address. It ia pretty long, aa
yon know, and it took him nearly an
hour and a half to read it. The Senator
ia not a particularly good reader and I
am sure I heard not over a dozen sen
tences. My attention was directed to
studying the 30 Senators who paid Sena
tor Martin the compliment of remaining
to hear his reading, which waa not a part
of the senatorial proceedings. I was
greatly entertained by the sight of these
old school boys trying to "keep still" for
an hour and a half. They did not suc
ceed any better than as many boys would
have done. Senators George, of Missis
sippL Jones, of Arkansas, and Coke sat
very prim and demure at first. Soon
Coke began to caress his long white
beard, to lean back and swing his
legs and then he furtively reached
over to his desk, stole a letter and began
to read it. George and Jones eyed him
covetously for awhile and soon they were
immersed in their letters. Senator Ran
som had the Charlotte Observes in
his hand but was so frequently inter
rupted by Senators going to talk to him
that he evidently had to read it at night
Hill was frequently "up and down," "in
and out," reading a newspaper when he
was not whispering to a brother Senator
or going into a cloaa room with one.
Old man Hoar folded his hands before
him and revolved his thumbs around one
another. I cannot say that he did not go
to sleep. Chandler glared at the reader
aa if he were ready to snap him up and
controvert something mat he said. Any
thing emanating from Democratic lips
is always worthy of opposition, in his
opinion. Senator Cockrell, a mighty
good, solid old Democrat, but not a pro
fessional beauty, strolled around some
and good naturedly beamed on
his brethren who returned his good
will. Butler and Don Cameron,
two fast friends, sat together. Senator
Colquitt sat in his invalid chair and lis
tened attentively for awhile but was
rolled away before the end of the reading.
Senator W hite, the newly appointed Su
preme Court Justice a nda -me.n -looking
bachelor of 43 came in once and
made the round of the chamber. He
was a perfect picture of contentment and
brotherly love and seemed to be a favor
ite with all his colleagues. He has a
very taking way of stopping a second as
he passes by, beading over and whisper
ing a pleasant word in the ear of a Sena
tor. Teller is a Republican but he has a
very good face. He has a sober, serious
expression and very little appreciation
of fun, I imagine. Hawley, of Connecti
cut, cur North Carolina native, is a mili
tary looking man, rather fine looking
and wearing a beard of Napoleonic cut
Ptffer is all beard and a comet is a good
representation of his head and face. His
gold rimmed spectacles show up promi
nently as you look straight at him
and remind one of "blinds." Voor
hees came ia after the reading be
gin. He is a splendid looking man and
has one of the most prepossessing faces
in the Senate. He and Senator RanBom
are seated near each other. One can
easily pick out these two men as among
the leaders in the Senate. General Cox,
the handsome, soldierly-looking secre
tary, looks dignified in his seat near the
vice president, and is very popular with
the recators. Old man Bassett, the
venerable messenger, who was there in
Htnry Clay's time, locks like Father
Time and rslher thinks he is himself, it
is surmised, to judge by the liberties be
takes with the hands cf the Senate's
clock on the last night of each session
Before the reading began, the old man
performed one of his functions that most
delights him he ushered in. with great
pomp and ceremony, Mr. Pruden, who
bore a message from the President
These are impressions that came to me
while I sat in the gallery, in which there
was but one person whom I knew.
Across the way I saw Captain Waddell,
who was taking it in very much as I was
and not listening to the reading.
A COMMENDABLE MOTE.
The Richmond A Danville Railroad Seek
ing to Bring; Immigration Into Ita Ter
ritory. Richmond State.
The Richmond & Danville Railroad is
showing great enterprise and liberality
in its effort to induoe Immigration to Vir
ginia. Its latest movement in this direction is
the issuance of a circular in which it of
fers to make a special concession in rates
to bo a fide prospectors who desire to
visit Virginia and North Carolina and
other States through which the line runs
with a view to locating. The circular
ca Is special attention to tbe climate and
soil of Virginia and North Carolina and
states that the best lands may be had at
most reasonable prices.
Tbe State is rejoiced to note this com
mendable effort on tbe part of the Rich
mond & Danville and bids the company
God-speed in its splendid work. It is in
line with the policy which this paper has
urged for years and we believe that the
railroads can do more in tbe way of in
ductng immigration than all other agen
cies combined.
We suggest, therefore, that people in
Virginia and North Carolina along the
line of the Richmond & Danville road
shall co operate heartily with the rail
road in getting the best possible results
from the plan adopted. In the firs'
p'ace they should forward to Mr. J M
Bc;all. travelling passenger agent, Rich
mond, Va . all letters received from
persons making inquiries about lands in
these States and Mr Beall will do the
rest. In the next place, when visitors
come, they should have every attention
shown them and there should be some
body at every station who will make it
his business to show the visitors around
Virginians are land poor and what they
need above all else is that outsiders shall
come in and purchase the sarplu&
lands and in this way provide working
capital for those who now have more
land than they ean profitably cultivate
We regard this matter of sufficient im
portance to give it publication in the
State's editorial columns and we have no
sort of doubt that it will be fruitful of
good results. It is less than a week
since the circulars were first issued, and
already Mr Beall has had a letter from
an Ohio man saying that he would like
to take advantage of the offer to bring a
party of prospectors to Virginia.
Let the good work go on, and let the
people do all in their pwer to pro
mote it.
Be Drawa the Una.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, 25th.
Thomas Higgins, sentenced to be
hanged March 23d with Prendergast, the
slayer of Mayor Carter Harrison, of
Chicago, was disgusted when he learned
the news that the assassin was to die on
the same Ecanold with nun, and gave
vent to his fee ings as follows:
" I have a notion to commit suicide
Won't we be two peaches, standing up to
be dropped together? Say, when it comes
my torn to ebuffid off I want to be
hanged with Irish hemp, and I also want
a green shroud But I draw the line on
being compelled to pass out with Pren
dergaat. Somehow or another I cannot
appreciate that fellow's greatness Per
haps I am obtnse Anyway, if I am al
lowed any voice in the matter I shall not
line up on the scaffold with the man who
killed Carter Harrison."

OCRATIO OPPOSITIOBT.
Senator Km Will Work and Veto a gat
tha Wilaoa Bill.
Pitteburg-h, Fa., Dirpetca, Wth, to Hew York
Sun. j s
According to a letter received to-day
at the headquarters of the Window Glass
Workers' Association from ex President
James Campbell, a leading member of the
committee which is in Washington to
fight for a window glass tariff, . several
Democratic Senators, including Senator
Hill, of New York, will fight the Wilson
bin.
Mr. Hill assured the committee that he
would fight the bill in every way, both in
committee and on the floor of the Sen
ate, and that his voice and vote would
be against it.
Senator Cameron promised to work
and vote against the bill. Senator Mc
Pberson promised that he would do all
in his power to get a better tariff on
window glass while the bill is before the
finance committee, but he said he would
be forced to vote with his party when
the bill cornea up in the Senate.
Senator Brice said that he, of all the
Senators in Congress, was hit hardest by
the Wilson bill, on account of the great
industrial interests of Ohio.
He would do his best to have the win
dow glass schedule changed, but he
would have to vote with his party on the
bill in general. Senator Kyle, tbe South
Dakota Populist, presented one of the
curious contradictions of his party by
saying that he was opposed to the Wil
son bill, but would vote for it. Senator
Peffer said that he would fight and vote
against it.
It is stated that if the promises made
to this committee are carried out, there
will be some hair pulling in the Senate
when the antagonists of Cleveland's ad
ministration get to work .

pairs of elegant Horth Carolina 7 Iti j

though not needing them particularly,
bought them anyway; for, at a glance,
they recogn zi d them as our great Special

could net be purchased of the manu

Why friends, do you know that the low

is 60c per pound, aud yet we were offer-

co doubt, that she was the wisest shopper
that visits our city Why, there's hardly
a child in this place but that knows that
Wamsutta Sheeting is the best made, and
yet this customer refused it at 25c, and
paid 30c for a sheeting worth, at whole

32c Oar Zephyr is here, and away she
goes. Our three Bleach iogs dumbfound
the competitors the 15-yds. fe'low is a

CHARLOTTE, N. 0.
The management of this bank think
the extract from a sermon of the world
renowned preacher, the Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage, as very appropriate in furth
ering the oiiee of their bankTand there
fore submit it hereby as their ad. Says
Mr. Talmage: "Bat you know and 1
know many who have competent in
comes, and could provide somewhat for
the future, who live up to every dollar,
and when they die their children go to
the poor house or on the street. By tb
time the wife gets the hnsband buried,
she is in debt to the undertaker and
grave-differ for that which she can
never pay While the man lived he had
his wine parties and fairly stunk with
tobacco, and then expired, leaving hl
family upon the charities of the world
Do not seed for me to come and condue
the obsequies aud read over such a oar
cam the beautiful liturgy, 'Blessed are th
dead who die in the Lord,' for, instead of
that, I will turn over the leaves of the
Bible to 1 Timothy 5:18 where it says:
'If any provide not for his own, and es
pecially for those of his own house, he
hath denied the faith, and is worse than
an infidel,' or I will turn to Jeremiah 28
19, where it says, 'He shall be buried
with the burial of aa ass, drawn and cast
forth beyond the rates of Jerusalem
"I cannot imagine aay more unfair or
meaner thing than for a man to get his
sins pardoned at the last minute, and
then go to heaven, and live in a mansion,
and go riding about ia a golden chariot
over the golden streets, while his wife
and children, whom he might have pro
vided for, are begging for cold vict
uals at the basement door of an earthly
city. It seems to me there ought to be a
poor house somewhere en the outskirts
of heaven, where those guilty of such
improvidence should be kept for awhile
on thin soup and gristle instead of sitting
down at the King's banquet. It is said
tha the church is a divine iastitutioa,

Was there ever anything
like the growing trade at; the
Racket? Greater and greater
grows the throngs, rushing for
good values. It is by the aid
of these almost innumerable
buyers and daily visitors, we
are enabled to break the fet
ters of credit ard force the mer
cantile interst out into the open
field of dollars, causing the
stumbling blocks in our way to
either drop out or sullenly
grow into submission. Our ef
forts from the begin ningj have
been directed against the gall
ing yoke of high prices, and to
open up, in its stead, a business
based on dollars, the influence
of which will eventually free
the citizens of Charlotte, of
Mecklenburg county, and, of
North Carolina from ttei. ter
rors of a system of credit, whiclv
is grinding out their financial
lives Already many hundreds
have been liberated from this
demon credit, while thousands
more are marching out from
under the yoke of oppression.
You see by the power of inter
est of the consumer people
come to us from everywhere,
and to-day the trade of har
lotte is about double what it
was a few I years ago. Cross
road competition is a thing ot
the past, and our city is fast
coming to the front as the great
trading center of the CaroRnas.
Now as we enter the bright
spring season of business, p6
mit us to say our greatest of
all offerings will go out to the
public at the lowest possible
prices we can give. Our im
mense stock has not been gath
ered by idle hands nor slothful
feet and listless brain, but at
every turn it has been the best
dilligence, pluck, opportunity
that dollars could bring.
We have just bought the en
tire line Mens's Sample Hats,
from one of the best manufac
turers in the land. The lot in
cludes all the latest styles
grades and shapes, and as we
bought these hats at a heavy
discount we intend to sell them
at the" cost of making. See
them.
