Special to the Observer. Raucigh, Aug. 17, Nearly all the talk here to-day was regarding the ox- tension or the lease el tne JNorth Caro lina Railroad. - Most of those who were talking were outspoken against it. One prominent man said he doubted greatly whether the lease would stand in the face of a suit. Another said that the Seaboard -Air Line, which would moat positively -have made a, bid, was not notified ... or - the . ' meeting of the -directors. -T. This same gentle man said be knew for quite awhile tnat tne Governor favored the lease and felt sure it would be made. A leading Populist declared that tbe action of the stockholders was a greater usurpation 01 power than Cleveland s bond Issue, People are now at the Library, looking over tne records in order to ascertain whether the Legislature confirmed the first lease and also what authority it conferred uoon the directors to make another. " It is alleged by some that the lease will set sentiment asainst the ' Southern road, which is now in such great favor. and yet others declare that this lease matter will assuredly be made an issue. and a big one in polities. On the other band those who favor the lease areue tnat tne state couianotir.it operated tne roaa matte a prontoi (ii or 7 per cent. There never was anv ratification bv the Legislature of the aet of the direc tors in leasing the road, nor was this necessary, as the charter gives ample power, it appears. U'be Supreme Court decided this in suit by the State Trea surer against tne lessee, seventy-second North Carolina Reports. In this four sat. Rodman did not sit because he had. appeared for . the railroad in the same ease. Pearson. Settle and Beade decided that the provision of Section 19 of the road s charter gave the right to lease or to larm oat its transporta tion facilities and also its corpus or body. Judge Bynum psrtlv dis sented, as he held that it had no right to lease the corpus. The fusion Legislature had planned to pass the act placing in the hands of Geortre A. Smathers, of Haywood county, all the authority which the Governor has in regard to State proxy and also to five Smathers the right of substitution. It was and is the purpose of the fusionists to get complete oontrol in this way of both the North Carolina and Altantic and North Carolina Railroads and it is asserted that two years hence they would have renewed the attempt and perhaps been successful then. The argument is made that as the private stockholders who represent one million dollars were all eager to extend the lease . to the Southern Railway and all are fine business men, it stands to reason that the State's interests are conserved. It is further con tended that a long lease on good terms is preferable to a short one on the principle that long term bonds at good rate are most sought after. The .Populists are declaring that the extension of the lease was the greatest mistake the Democrats ever made, and some Democrats take that view also. This lease business actually put the silver question on the shelf for one day. The State crop report for August was summarized this afternoon. It shows per centages of condition to be as fol lows: Rice 82, corn 93, cotton 74, to bacco 86, peas 89, sweet potatoes 82, peanuts 85, sorghum 88, Irish potatoes 84. The acreage in corn as compared with last year's is 104, and that in to bacco 91 per cent. As to fruits, apples are 7S), peaches 77, grapes 89. A bank director here made a curious point by asking what right the State had to take a .higher rate than C per cent, since it does not permit its citi zens to charge over G per c jnt. interest? The national banks in this city have re duced their rate to 6 per cent, though at some places they charge 8. Secretary of State Coke did not p ass so good a night last night. At the executive office to-day Mr. William Kearney Carr said his brother, Dr. John B. Carr, was much better. Roger O Kelley, a well-known negro man here, became insane yesterday. To-day he was so wild that it required three men to take him to the station house. He was taken to the Eastern Hospital at Goldsboro this afternoon. A prominent Democrat who is here after a year's absence, says he is aston ished at the abuse which many Demo crats here shower upon President Cleve land. He says their abuse is even greater than that of tbe Populists. He said that he had never seen anything like it, and wanted to know if the same status of affairs existed elsewhere in the State. He commented on the fact that some lawyers were the leaders in the attack. The call for the silver convention is now being circulated by Ed Chambers Smith, Esq., an earnest champion of the white metal. Two lawvers declined to sign it. No one can say whether that convention will materialize. Sena tor Butler, as your correspondent tele graphed last night, is in the field and has issued his call for the rapid forma-1 tioo of the silver club. He will take the step of calling a convention as soon as possible. There are people who say it is his hope to be the leader of all the forces in the silver movement. The excessive rains here continue. All night and far into this morning the rains descended. Yet the larger streams are not high. The rain seems to have been light in parts of this county until yesterday. It appears reasonably certain to-day that the Press and the Visitor, Raleigh's afternoon papers, will speedily be con solidated. The details are not yet ar ranged. There is an option on the Visitor for its purchase. The people who are dickering for it with the holder of the option are those who have al ready secured the Press, and will in a day or so form a stock company. Two papers struggle and barely live.

Morgan is under arrest, Your correspondent had a chat with a Democrat to-day, who claims to be entirely conservative and to look upon North Carolina politics as from a height. lie saidiv, Vlt is the generally accepted opinion : that the fusion of Populists and Republicans will continue, and it must be admitted that surfaoe indica 1 ions point in that direction: ' Appear- ances, however, are not always to be trusted.. The. Populists 'have already shown a disposition to abandon all their other former contentions and are con centrating all their interest and energy upon the single question 01 free . silver. Their interest and zeal in this subject will increase in intensity and resolute ness. . If the election should 'come off this year the Populists would doubtless again fuse with he Republicans, but in considering what they will do in lS96we must look beyond the presentstate of the JJgJfJJJJJJ tren?f ob't - 1 1 hrvn rrU r !,, tkm It-- thought "will take them. XSext vear their zeal for free silver will be at white heat and . their hatred of the money power, already strong, will oe.s aoml nating influence and: sentiment. . In these conditions it is Questionable that they will be willing or that they can be tooa-wi 0 tea into giving their suffrages, either altogether or partially, for a plu tocratic candidate lor -the presidency. The silver sentiment is not, as a few newspapers and people claim, - dying oat, out on the contrary is growing in strensrth and vigor and will con tinue t& erow: until it triumphs. In this contest there Is no donbt about where the Republican party will stand. It will stand, as it has always stood, in the interest of the money power. Its platform will declare for tbe gold stand ara ana mis win generally be aoqni n bv Thft C L; of th.111118 6tobe Machine Worki'PtteDt escea 1 countrv, riortn Carolina : - the: Republicans will stand bv a cold '. candidate. There will be a s mighty contest in the Democratic nnational convention. with the result in doubt. If the States which usually go Democratic control, it wm oeciare for silver: otherwise it will. like the Republicans, put up a -gold candidate. In this latter case another candidate, standing ' upon the single and exclusive - issue Of silver, will be evolved, and will get North Carolina's electoral vote. People as earnest as they will be next year on the silver question,", will not , split ' hairs, and wrangle about - ways and means, but wtu demand results if they be attains ble. The honest advocates of silver in Korth Carolina will most certainly get togetner in iw. rne agitation in this State is not parting the silver forces, but rather paving the way to ultimate union. 1 he Populists are agitating in their usual noisy way, while the Demo crats, more quiet, are employing all the agencies of the press and private persua sion in behalf of the white metal. There is no necessity for a convention of the silver forces in North Carolina now. Certainly such an assemblage lust at this time would not be advantageous to tne democratic party. The obiect of sucn a meeting cannot oe other than to bring the friends of silver, whether Democrats, Populists or Republicans, together. In such a gathering that branch of the allies which is best organ ized ana which has been most aroused by recent agitation would have the ad vantage. Many warm friends of silver in the Democratic party, who still en tertain hopes of favorable action by their party and who prefer, if they can do so, to make their fight within the lines of that party, would not care to take part in an- independent movement at this time. As a result of these two rea sons, it is almost certain that the Popu lists, though no better friends of silver than the Democrats, would control and dominate the convention. Unless the friends of silver can be brought together on State issues, the white people will be hopelessly divided and the negro by reason of his 90K000 solid votes will be come the controlling power in local politics. There are in the State perhaps lU.uutl or lo.uuu advocates of gold stand ard; living almost exclusively in the towns, and they are what is known as business men. They are for gold, not from an intense conviction that that policy is the salvation of their interests (or that silver men believe with regard to silver) but simply as a rule because they are conservative and do not want any radical change, as they fear it would produce a hurtful disturbance of business. If there was free coinage they would, for the very same reason. oppose the demonetization of silver. This is of course not true of all of them, but is true of the great majority. No one can question their honesty of pur pose or say they are not actuated by convictions, but a conviction, however honest, based on merely prudential rea sons is not to be compared to one based on an abiding sense that a great wrong is being praotieed and is about to be permanently fastened upon a people by a hostile interest. The one will yield his opinion; the other never. This must be taken into consideration in cal culating the effect upon these two wings of the party." IDLE MONET ACCUMULATES. Tbe Total Excess Reserve of the Asso ciated Banks of New York is Over 41, 000,000 Loans Increase and Deposits Decrease Compared With Last Tear. New Yokk, Aug. 17. The New" York Financier says this week: The state ment of the associated banks of this city for the week ending August 17th, reflects in part the gold export move ment and the operations of the bonds syndicate which were concluded the week previous. That there is no im mediate prospect of firmer money rates is evidenced in the increase of 82,326, 100 in the volume of idle cash how ly ing in the vaults of the New York city banks, making the total excess reserve $11,206,825. This sum is larger than tbe average reserve since carried from week to week during the present year. In the meanwhile loans are being maintained at a high level. Tbe expan sion for the week, while small, shows the undertone of the 'market. One en couraging sign of the past few days has been the demand for small notes which has come from the West. Tbe crops are about ready for harvesting, and large sums will be drawn from this centre soon to supply the demand incident to the movement of the immense produc tion of cereals. The inflow of currency has not been as large as usual, and rates for New York exchange have sunk to a discount in many cities. The banks gained $3,546,000 in deposits during the week, and tbe Increase in legal tenders was $3,003,900. The distribution of the large percent age of money due the banks by the bond syndicate of course operated ad versely on the call loan market, but, aside from this, its effect was not notic ed. Despite the apparent dullness, it i interesting to note that the banks are now carrying 2o,000,000 more loans than at this time last year.

It Will Be the Finest Ever Made and "Will Be Kdacatlonal In Its Character. - Washington.-Aug. 17. -The forestry exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition pro mises to be the most complete and in structive ever made by the government, excelling in excellence, though not in size, the exhibit at Chicago in 1893. The-exhibits are now being shipped and the work of installation will proceed as rapidly as they arrive in Atlanta. It is the aim of Dr. B. F. Fernow, chief of the Department of Forestry, to make the exhibit typical of the splendid tim ber interests of the Southern States. It is Dr. Fernow's intention to remove the exhibit as far as possible from com mercial aspects, with the intention of -presenting an educational dis play. ' The wide range in tbe use of . wood ' in ail phases of - human life will be shown. Large panels are already hung off the pillars of the building, each representing one partic ular line of use; as for instance, wood in the kitchen, -wood in tbe laundry, in sports; in the garden, in tools, etc. The lumber exhibit will be so oomplete that any one may trace the growth of the tree through various : stages, learn its adaptability vto - various commercial uses, its value, durability, comparative worth for special uses, etc. In this ex hibit, which includes a complete sta tistical history of Southern : forestry interests, Dr.- Fernow has been ably seconded .. by the lumbermen of the South, so that a. most complete exhibit of this nature will be made.1-. The dis play of the United States division of forestry is rounded out and made com plete by a small but comprehensive ex hibit of the - naval store "' industry.

THE STORY OF THE WALDENSES THE PASTOR OF THE COIjONY TOLD XT. Rev. Barth. Soulier Makes st Striking; Ad dress Before the Local Ministers' Con ference, Telling Why the Waldena Can to America, 'What 1 hey Intend to Do and What Their Condition mad Pros- Special to ths Observer. r - RCTHERFOBD COLLKGK, Aug. 17. This morning at 11 o'clock Rev. Barth. Sou lier, pastor of the Waldensian colony. was introduced to the Conference by President Williams, ills address was well received by the large congregation, his slight brogue, for which he apolo gized, only adding to its effect. He proposed to ask three Questions and an swer them. First, wny we came to America; second, what we intend to do, and third, present conditions and future prospects. t - First, wby we came, mere is no good history of the Waldensian Church. None states fully how the Church origi nated. There is a beautiful legend that Saint Paul, in going to Spain, passed throngb the Waldensian valley of Italy, and left the light of the true Gospel. It is true the Waldensian Church ex isted long before the Reformation ex isted in the eighth century. It is the connecting link between the primitive Church of the Apostles and the Refor mation. He recited tragically tbe per secutions they had suffered. One rea son we are here is that even when posi tive persecution ceased, about 200 years ago, the Waldensians were hot allowed the freedom of other citizens. They were expected to perform duties to the State as other Citizens, bat were not al lowed positions in the army or govern ment, nor to settle out of their narrow boundaries. There was no freedom of speech or religion before 1848. Tbey suffered under tins, and were reduced once to 800, but now number over 30, COO in Italy. They are compelled to leave Italy on account of the numbers in the narrow boundary. Too poor to buy the abundantJand of Italy, the colony went to South America, but found re-, iigious snd political troubles there. Hundreds are leaving each year, some going to Paris, but the religious influ ences there are Dad. ah tne walden sians want is some corner of the globe where tbey can have liberty and sym pathy and community of worship. Second, wnat we expect to do. 'iney were farmers in Italy and will farm here. They are? unskillfnl because of the difference in the countries but will show you in a few years. We expect to be good citizens, it is a point of honor with every Waldensian to obey the laws of the nation and State. We expect to be good Christians. The descendants of heroes, we cannot afford to dishonor their memory. He com pared the Waldenses to tbe burning bush. Planted in this fertile soil and under the balmy sun of North Carolina, he heped the colony would flourish as in their native land. Third, our present and future. We made three mistakes when we came. We had too little means. Each colonist should have reached here with $300. Some had only $10. Then we took too much land 10,000 acres. Had first to give up 5,000 and lost money on it. Then had to give hack u.uw more, and lost on that, but the greatest mistake was in taking land in common. In January I had the Morgan ton Land Improvement Company to take back all the contracts and to divide the land in severalty, making contracts with the individual owners. Since then we have had prosperity. Some will not make enough, others more, but in two years all will be in better condition. Tbe colonists are happy and contented, and many are writing relatives to "come over. Tbe story in the newspapers of dissatisfaction had no warrant, and he asked all to correct it. They have $800 for a stone church and would soon invite us to worship with them. He made an eloquent closing. Tbe future grows brighter every day. When Abraham came down from his mount of agony he gave to it a strange name: it had been a place-of agony and prayer but be called it "The Lord will pro vide." How did he know? Because the Lord had always provided. We want no more convincing argument for our future, no better surety than that not once or twice but a thousand times His mighty arm has saved us. It was a fine speecn and me congrega tion showed its appreciation by a rising vote of thanks. To-morrow is the Dr. Abernethy me morial day. Governor Thos. J. Jarvis will take part.

August 17-Tj traders her LJvernool's action was anexoeeted to-day. and yet It was only what we think we had good reason to loost lor at almost any time. Foreign cotton buyers must awaken to a realization of the poor prospects for ths present cron. and as they do so speculators on the bear side will find it impossible to help the staple down to present quotations. iverpool advanced 8-4d. and closed firm, though soot sales were only 8,000 bales. The advance was said To nave been caused by Bradstreet's confirmation of tbe bureau re sort. It was naturally ft ratifying to those who believe with us that cotton is cheap and that holders should not be induced to part with it, except on extreme bulges and when the market appears unnaturally strong. always bearing In mind the fact, however, that there are many weeks ahead In which improvement maybe shown in the condi tion ox tne growing plant ana tneaaaitionai fact that there are plenty of bears ever readyto hammer the market when a good advance has been scored. In view of this we deem it wise to take profits on sharp rises, standing ready to take back ths con tracts on the first concession. We believe In the long side and do not donbt that prices are on an upward wave. Total crop now la sight 0,7068 against 7,406.71 Total visible supply 1,604,880 against 2,146.588. .Total stock in united states ports iu,os against iws,u bales.

More Promising Feeling In the Market. Stock Hmw Yokk, August 17. The principal fea ture of this morning's market was farther liquidation n American Tobacco and Man hattan. CI ranger shares were exceptionally fl rm . There was very little doin g outside of professional operating and tbe bulk of these were to cover shorts at the end of tbe week. The tone of tbe market was in the main steady. Weakness in foreign ex change at the close yesterday owing: to the offerings of security bills and prospects of a better supply or tnese mils next wees: en couraged a fairly hopefol feeling relative to tne stoca market. Niv Yokk Nivi Bubkau. Plenty of Boll News. In Wheat, Bnt the Market Falls to Respond to It. . Chic go. August 17 There has -been nothing significant in trad tbls week. Tbe market on tbe whole has been dull and has tended to lower prices, notwithstanding the bulk of news has been bullish. Tbe cash business has been tbe largest for some time, the demand being chiefly to supply Interior millers in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Although some good round lots have been worked to Toledo and considerable to the seaboard for direct exoort. this business would have been much larger during the past two days were it not for tne fact that vessel room is difficult to obtain. Weekly clearances were 1,824.000 bushels against 1 660,000 last week, but tbey show a decline as compared with last year, when for some time they were 3,970,000 bushels. While cropsabroad are generally conceded to be short of last year, foreigners are buying only of a hand-to-mouth character, ap parently oa tne supposition tnat wnenever the coming crop begins to move lower prices will prevail and tbey can then buy cheaper. Tbls leads us to believe tbst at tnat time tne export traae win do niucn larrar than at the r resent. The only bear argument outside of curtailed ; foreign de mand is in reierence to tne noriowni- ern crop, which, however, together wun light trade, seems Bumeieut to onset an otherwise bullish situation, . but we still hold to tbe opinion that a large movement will be met by plenty of buyers and that the wheat will not have to be sold at bar-sain-eoanter rates. In Washington. Idaho. Oregon, Wyoming and Montana the erop is very snort ana tnese mates are aireaay re ported as buyers of nour east oi tne kocs ,es and will likely continue as such until another harvest The Door trade on a whole seems to be increasing and indications point to a good demand from abroad before tne etoee oi navigation, wniieit neeas no argument that the wheat ' situation is re-J marsaoiy strong, tne ract tnat tne maraee does not respond is Indeed discouraging to holders, ana witn tne leeung tnat at pres ent prevails we ean hardly expect much If any improvement antii traaers nave tneir fears allayed by knowing .what the oat come of the new crop will be. Ilnrtng the lore part oi tne wees corn was heavy on the promising condition- of the growing crop. xunng tne. past" two or tnreeaays, nowever, laeongsi prospects in localities in Nebraska and Kansas have been somewhat lowered bv bot.drv weather. which, together with an excel lent cash busi ness, has caused numerous snerts to cover nd Induced some Investment buying. Re ceipts have been large, but receivers -stats that tbey are likely to materially decrease alter the fore part of next week. : . j cash oats have also oeen in tooa oesnana and the contract market shows an Improve ment over prices which prevailed early in tbe week.
