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, that as a State, proper him courtesy go out to on our oyster patrol meet boat 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 aud vita ioae other petty. 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. CLXVILAND'j CHA&&CTFR. Hie Secretary of the Interior, Smith, Telle What He Ha It. Hoke Learned 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. It Was About Whether Sire. Henaley Waa to Oo Home or Hot. 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 Stockholders. Yorkville, 8. C, Enquirer, February 88th. On last Saturday, at Newton, Mr. A G. Brice, attorney for the Narrow Gauge, secured an order from the North Caro lina courts directing that 'Receiver Hall tarn over the North Carolina portion of the road to the stockholders within ten days Mr. Brice on lsst Monday asked Judge Watts, at Winnsboro, for a simi lar order with respect to the South Caro lina portion of the road. Judge Watts postponed the signing of the order until to-morrow, when, by his direction, Re ceiver Hemphill will appear with a state ment of the moneys paid out and re ceived under the receivership. There is little reason to doubt that the order for the delivery of the road to the stock holders will be signed to-morrow, and that the property will be in the hands of its new management before the end of another week.

SStlle roneod to Tmk -Bar.- Taaea Xtaaa the ttnanoe Cemmttteew . 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. UHOourroM news.

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.

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 . General Cortina la Dying;. Citt of Mexico, Feb 27. General Juan M.

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.

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.
