OOXCKBHXRG TBI 8CITDAY PARE. A Religions Paper's Dlaeaaalon of It from m Rational Standpoint. Biblical Beoorder.Organ of the Baptist Church of Worth Carolina. The secular paper issued on Sundays is receiving considerable local and gene ral attention just now. The question is try no means of recent origin, nowever. aa erer since the first Sunday edition of a newspaper appeared it has been a sub ject of discussion But the Sunday paper nas become o-popular tnat at tne present time it is the most carefully and elabor ately prepared edition of the daily press. we ao npt care to aelena tne cunaay pa per it needs no defence at our hands but we thjnk some facts regarding it may be instructive. Those who oppose the Sunday papers are accuBtomdloegard its publisher wrongly. If there is Bin, it is the read ing public's sin, and not the publisher's. We may be sure if church members stop reading papers on Sunday the Sunday issues will be abandoned. The North Carolina publishers do as much as they can to keep the Sabbath by not publish ing Monday editions; for the edition of that day is gotten up on Sunday, the Sunday paper being made on Saturday, with the exception of the comparatively small item of press work. Which is bet ter: To issue a paper on Sunday, and leave the matter of breaking the Sabbath to the conscience of the public, or to publish a Monday paper and compel edi tors, reporters, printers, etc , to break the Sabbath? Or, is it best to publish papers only five times a week? The Sunday paper, like the gates of the World's Fair, is at the mercy of the public conscience. The fair was closed on Sunday by the people, after Congress and the courts had failed. Since then we have not doubted that the American people had regard for the Sabbath; they showed the power of their conscience then, and we can rely on it now. If any one is conscientiously opposed to the Sunday paper, let him inform the pub lishers, and they will discontinue it so far as he is concerned, and lower the price accordingly. It is not a question for publishers to decide, but for the peo ple. A Unristian will not allow tne perusal of a Sunday paper to interfere with his worship of God. A non-Christian is liable to do far worse things than read ing a paper on Sunday. That there is more probability of good to all classes in the Sunday paper than there is of evil is indisputable. If there is not, the gaper should not be published at all unday nor Wednesday. We do not believe that Sunday is a fast day, a day of deprivations We do not believe that it was intended that the day should be spent wholly in worship, no more than Saturday was intended to be without worship. It is unrighteous to work on the Sabbath, because God has told us to rest on that day; but he did not comix and us to put ourselves to pains. If a paper is wholesome, and if it is restful to read a wholesome paper, there is no sin in reading it on Sunday The Sabbath was made for man, and man was made for God's glory every day in the week. We are aware that we are dealing with a question of conscience, and we have merely stated our own views "Religious Editorials for Sunday" have become a feature of one of cur leading secular dailies. We hope the other daily papers will follow the lead of Dr. Kingsbury. Religious editorials in secular dailies are wboieoume, because religion is always a good thing. WEBEB'S SHORTAGK PAID. The A mount Turned Over to an Official Settled by a Relative. Columbia Register, February 27. The State authorities have been in-1 formed that George H. Walter, the coun ty treasurer of Charleston, has been paid $1,297.93, the amount of the short age of John L. Weber, ex school Com missioner of Charleston, the story of whose crime has been published. The money was paid by Leland Moore. a brother-in-law of Weber, but one of i the best and most honest men in Charles ton. For him and the other innocent ones there is the deepest sympathy. Iso news has recently been received as to the whereabouts of Weber, but he is supposed to be still at Trinity College. Much hasjappeared in North Carolina pa pers about him since his exposure. The most of these papers, it is said, have charged the exposure to political persecu tion, and bave been trying to exonerate Weber. They have stated that he han dled over $100,000 a year in school funds. aod that it is a wonder that his shortage was not greater, l he mate authorities say that Weber never handled the funds of the Charleston graded schools except in bulk ana that the money from that source merely passed through his hands, as is the case with the graded schools in other cities. The amount of money which he handled for the county schools and over which he had complete control was about $3,800 a year. The Court of General Sessions was opened in Charleston yesterday by Jndge Townsend. It is expected that the case of Weber will come up at this term of the court, which will last several weeks Is Joseph Anderson Yet Alive? To the Editor of the Observer: I have a letter from John W. Burnett, of 73 Maple street, Waltham, Mass., who Bays he was an officer in the Fourth Pennsylvania Reserves at the battle of Fredericksburg, December 18, 1862, and greatly desires to learn whether Joseph Anderson, then a private soldier in Com pany C, Thirty-beventh North Carolina St ate Troops, is yet alive, and if so, where he is. Burnett speaks of "making the acquaintance" of Anderson in that battle and, without further explanation, leaves the inference that there was an interest ing rencounter between them there I be lieve Dr. Gibbon, CoL Oates and other Charlotte men had some connection with the Thirty seventh North Carolina Reg iment, and they may be able to tell some thing oi Mr. Anderson.

Washington, Feb. 28 After the call oftthe committees for reports Mr Kilgore offered a resolution which he aid ought to be a matter of privilege. If it were not it was read for information. It recited the law requiring the sergeant-alarms to withhold the salary of a Repre sentative who was absent except on ac count of the sickness of himself or a member of his family; that at this session of Congress many members had been ab sent and he called upon the sergeant-alarms to report whether or not the law in this respect had been obeyed by him, and if he had been derelict therein, to report why. Ee was also asked if in his opin ion the law could not be enforced and to inform the House the reasons therefor Mr. Reed made the point of order that the resolution did not present a matter of privilege ia the way in which it was drawn. It was simply a resolution ask ing an officer of the House his opinion upon a question of law. Speaker Crisp called the attention of Mr. Kilgore to the fact that the resolu tion contained no allegation that an offi cer of the House had failed to discharge his duty under the rules, or under the law which was necessary to make it a privileged, matter . It was simply a reso lution of inquiry directed to an offcer of the House Mr. Kilgore thereupon with drew the resolution. Mr Bland move that the House go into committee of the whole upon his seigniorage bill and that general debate be closed at 3 o'clock Thursday. On this motion the rote by division was 127 to 2. Mr. Tracey made the point of no quorum and the yeas and nays were called. Before the result of the vote was an nounced, Mr. Livingstone, Democrat, of Georgia, said he desired to submit a mo tion . Rule 8, he said, required members present, unless excused, to vote upon every proposition presented to the House. The gentleman from New York Mr. Tracey had refused to vote and he demanded that he be brought be fore the bar of the House and explain his refusal to vote. Mr. Johnson, Democrat, of Ohio, said he had a list of 25 members who had violated the rule,which he offered to send to the de&k. The chair stated that the rule was well known . The chair could not enforce the rule otherwise than by appealing to members to observe it. -The chair was but the organ of the House, and would never make a rule unless authorized and directed so to do by the House Ap plause Mr. Boatner, Democrat, of Louisiana, argued in support of Mr. Livingstone's motion. It was, he said, an effort to bring a member to answer for a wilful contempt and violation cf the rules. The House ought to determine here and now whether or not a member can defy its rules. The chair stated that under the rules it was his duty to announce the result of the vote. The result was yeas 169, nays 5 5 short of a quorum. It was said that five supporters of Mr. Bland failed to get their votes in because they were not in the hall of the House when called. These in addition to those recorded would have male a quorum. Mr. Clincey and Mr. Magner.of the New York deltgation, who had heretofore refrained from voting, vot ed in favor of the proposition. These pro ceedings bad been watched with the keen est interest by tbe members, especially Republicans, as having within them the possibility of history-making. When the chair announced the vote, however, and the incident was over, the humdrum of routine was resumed and the members who had been eagerly crowding into tbe pit in front of the clerk's desk, faded rapidly away. Mr. Bland moved a call of the House. On this motion there were, nrst, a viva voce vote, then a vote by division: third. a vote by tellers Messrs. Bland and Reed cmciatinp; and finally a vote by yeas and nays. The latter resulted: yeas 189; nays 4 So the call was ordered. It showed 265 members present and re sponding to their names. On the motion to dispense with further proceedings under the call, the same procedure was followed four separate votes being taken, ending with the yeas and nays. The call resulted: yeas 183; nays 3, thus dispensing with further proceedings. Mr. Bland renewed his motion and the yeas and nays were called. As the roll call proceeded it became apparent to many that a quorum would be obtained, and members keeping ta ly crowded about the clerk's desk Mr. Tracey, Democrat, of New York occupied tbe seat at which for two weeks past, he has kept tally with the clerk on roll calls, closely following the responses to the call. When it was determined that a quorum had been obtained on the second call of the roll, Mr. Tracey voted aye amid slight applause from the Demo cratic side, his purpose being, as after ward appeared, to move a reconsidera tion. The announcement of the vote by the Speaker, 177 yeas to 7 nays, evoked a round of hearty applause from tbe Dem ocrats and Populists. Mr. Outhwaite, Democrat, of Ohio, and Mr. Tracey, Democrat, of New York, were on their feet demanding recogni tion, the former to present an order from the committee on rules limiting debate on the pending bill and amendments to two hoars, and the latter to move a re consideration of the vote just taken. I Mr. Outhwaite was given the floor and the Speaker stated, after cutting j the question, that Mr. Tracey had inter -! posed a motion to reconsider. Mr. Outhwaite demanded the previous ques tion on his motion, but the yeas and nays were ordered without a division. After a name or two had been called. Mr. Reed precipitated an angry discus sion which for intensity equalled the famous scenes in the Fifty-first Con gress when Speaker Reed was counting quorums. The gentle man from Maine suggested that a roll call was out of order, inasmuch as the last vote did not disclose the presence of a quorum. The Speaker "By what authority does the gentleman make that state ment?" Mr. Reed "I am informed by the gentleman from New York Mr. Tracey that he kept a tally, and that it did not show a quorum voting." The Speaker "The gentleman from New York is not the keeper of the roll for the House. Applause. 1 The clerk will proceed with the roll call " Mr. Keed, persisting, amid cries of "regular order" stated that when a mem ber arose and suggested that an error had been committed, he was entitled to respectful treatment from the chair and from the House The Speaker "Has not the gentleman had it ? There has been no suggestion that the the correctness of the vote had been impeached by the gentleman from New York. If one were made the chair, will be glad to have it examined in the interests of right and truth." While this coloquy was proceeding members rushed down the aisles to the centre, and Mr. Outhwaite and Mr. Mc Millin asserted that Mr. Tracey had ac cepted the validity and correctness of the vote by moving to reconsider it. His remedy was to have the vote recapit ulated, and this he had failed to do. The confusion became so great, members shouting at each other and the chair, that the Speaker suspended proceedings until comparative order waa restored by members taking their Beats. Mr. Heed, resuming, stated that he had been out of the hall while the roll was being called, attending a meeting of the committee on rules at which be un derstood he waa to have an opportunity to be heard on the order reported, and of coarse did not know what had cccarred The gentleman from New ork fMr Tracey had informed him that a quorum had not roted and knowing that the gentleman had been keeping tally, for a number of days without making aa error, he was so much impressed with the state meat of the gentleman that he fjeit it his duty to call -the attention of the chair and the House to it, that the error might be corrected, if one had been made. Mr. McMillin, Democrat, of Tennessee, declared that the gentleman from New York should speak for himself and not by proxy. Mr. Meredith, Democrat, of Virginia "Mr. Speaker, there has been a comedy of errors here, and the gentleman ftom New York has been in error for some weeks and is in error now."t Mr. Tracey endeavored to make nim self heard, and finally succeeded. ti said that it was a matter of bat little u ment. A quorum woald be secured in any event, he conceded. But he had kept, what he believed to be a correct tally, and it showed but 174 votes Bat he would not undertake to impeach the ac curacy of the official count, whereupon the storm subsided and the roll call pro ceeded. When the letter T was reached there was a slight squall. Mr. Reed called the attention of the chair to the fact that the clerk, after calling Talbert, of Booth Carolina, returned and called Stockdale, of Mississippi, which he said was out cf order. The Speaker coincided with the gen tleman from Maine, who cjntinued from the floor: "It is decidedly out of order. The clerics have no right to interest themselves on the floor to back up their action. But it is only a part of what we have been having right along." Mr. Springer, Democrat, of Illinois, stated that Mr. Stockdale had responded when his name was called. Speaker Crisp directed the clerk not to return to a name after it had been passed; It was' not in order. Mr. Outhwaite' s demand for the previ ous question was seconded 170 to 10, and again the friends of the pending bill expressed their pleasure at the result by vigorous hand clapping, On the passage or the order the vote on division waa ayes 145, nays 0. The yeas and nays were ordered. Before the call had proceeded far, however, Messrs. Burrows and Reed criticised tbe methods of the reading'clerka. Mr. Burrows said the roll waa really called four times every name being repeated on each roll calL Mr. Reed called attention to the fact that the calling was irregular, some names being called once, others twice, and some three times until the clerk forces an answer. There was no authori ty for thlB, they contended. The Speaker stated that he did not know how the practice had grown up, but ever since he had been in the House the names had been called twice when the members failed.to answer. The phi losophy of the rule, he supposed, to be that with the least necessary delay every member should have an opportunity to vote and a repetition of the name was probably the best method of securing that end. The vole resulted: Yeas 165; nays 11 three less than a quorum; and at 4 o'clock, on motion of Mr. Outhwaite, the House adjourred until noon to-morrow. THE TOTS AM ALT. CD. Tbe End of tbe Long Filibuster Against tbe Bland Seigniorage Bill. Washington, Feb 28. The establish ment of a quorum in the House this afternoon enaed one of the most cele brated and extended filibustering con tests of late years. The Bland seignorage bill was called up in the Bouse on the 9:h instant and debated generally for several days. On the 13th the opponents of the bill began to fi libuster by ref utin g to answer the roll calls, thuB preventing the presence of a quorum. The Repub licans under the leadership' of Mr. Reed, cf Maine, refrained from voting, wi'.h the exception of a few Represeniativts from the West who favor the free coin age of silver. The ranks of the Republi cans were reinforced by ail th Demo crats from New York and New Ejglacd with a few scattering votes teem soma of the other Northern States eist of the Mississippi. On the vote by which Mr. Bland se cured a quorum on his motion to take up the bill for consideration, the following Republicans voted with the Democrats and Populists in the affirmative: Aitkeu, Bowers, of California; Broderick, Doo little, Ellis, of Oregon; Funston, Han man, Herman, Hiiborn, Juacey, Luca, Marsh, Pickler, Settle and Sweet 15. Messrs. Claccey, CummiDes, HalntF, Magner and Tracey, New York Demo crats, also voted in the affirmative Mr. Tracey to move a reconsideration The negative vote comprised Messrs. Causey, Mc Aleer, Mutchler, Page, Pigott, Rusk and Ryan all Democrats. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, when tha pretence of a quorum was established, the crowd was so dense that the doors could not be closed and scores of persons stood in the corridors outside, unab'.e even to see the floor beneath. Many of the visitors were strangers in the city. The Topic says the snow was a foot deep at Lenoir.

Liverpool did her share to-day by advancing 2-61. with spot sales of 12,001. closing firm on cables and ex changes in favor of tbe market Improving, and a favorable opinion gal Ling ground also that there was a better demand from spin ners. The Improvement here at tbe opening was 7 points, to which were added 4 more, but Philadelphia receipts of 3.200 broke the market 7 points below the highest. The port movement was 11,80', whereas ex pectations were 8.&X), against 7,900 last year and 17,199 in 1890 The port movement so far this week, nowever, is about .tOU leas than tbe same period last year, therefore the decline. so far as it is attributed to the Philadelphia movement, is a sentimental one. During tbe recent decline the statistical situation was lost sight of to a great extent, owing to pan icky conditions, especially at Liverpool, but now that the atmosphere has cleared. It bo comes daily evident how strong the po sition of cotton ia Mr- Pasch. the French statistician, in his circular of February 10th, reiterates his crop estimate of 6.900,n00. and while we regard his figures as about 300,00 too small, at the came time he gives very interesting figures show ing the bullish features of cotton. Among other things he shows that according to the New York Chronicle the stock at SI leadlna- weekly reported points in the South. Febru ary 10th, were 871 MM bales, and yet deliveries to Southern spinners atter that date were 851,000. Practically, therefore, there was only sufficient stocs at visible points on Feb ruary -lotn, to supply tne needs or southern mills. Tbe unknown quantity is the amount at the plantations and other towns not weekly re ported, and these were estimated at about 50 per cent, less than on the same date li year. According to the New Orleans cotton exchange, which every Wednesday reports the movement at 12 of the most important cotton pons, stocks were zaz.uuu against na. 000 last year, whereas on April 11th last year. tne same points neia sreouu. Therefore, at time exactly six weeas later than now. those cities held within 8,000 of what their stocks are to-oay. That the price of cotton was carried far below its Intrinsic merits by the recent de moralization, we think the bears generally admit. The market evidences that shorts are timid about increasing their lines, and i uch of the advance to-day waa caused by the little resistance they offered until tbe port move ment promised to be as large as was realized. when their selling oecame rreer. The encouraging sign, however, is the ex cellent spot demand at all the Important points in the South to-day, several of which are 1-16 to X better. If Liverpool continues to take 10j(0) to 12X00 bales dally, it wi put a different paase on tne situation, uotton is too suvng statistically to take tbaahances of depressing at its current market value, unless trade conditions become more unsettled and disappointing than they have been up to this time. aiwood. violztt CO.
