CHASGE8 FOR THE BETTKB. ; In remarks which be submitted upon .the duty of the Church in enforcing temperance, one of the speakers at the - recent synodical convention' at States ville of the young people of the Associ ate Reformed Presbyterian Church said that the Church had not always stood for total abstinence; that people living can remember when elders drank and when some of them were distillers. It - is a fact that the attitude of the Church at large toward this, question has changed, and so has that of society,' and these changes are reflected in the hab its of the people. As we have before remarked in discussing this subject, ft is no longer fashionable to get drunk. " Time was when on convivial occa sions the revelers, men in the highest stations of life, drank until they fell under the table. It is not so now. In former years excessive drinking among Congressmen, State legislators and pub lic men generally was a common vice. That has passed away and the heavy drinkers among the men in Congress now are so few that their names are known to the whole country, and in the last Legislature of North Carolina, sorry body as it was, drunkenness was so uncommon that those who indulged in it were pilloried and called out by press and public by name. Discussing this question the Norfolk Landmark a few days ago submitted some interest ing observations from which we quote: It is plain even to the casual observer that moderate drinking is more the custom nowadays than heavy drinking, ana u nas come to be not common to see men in the large cities, or anywhere. in a conaition or violent or stupid in . :..: mi . . . iuiuuuo, xz.eie is occasionally an instance, or course; but the absence of the thing has come to be notable. The habit of drinking has it phases. It was once the custom, for example, in this country among the well-to do who in dulged in the cup at all to drink brandy uuijr. jtuai was somenow regarded as the gentleman s drink, and deep pota tions of dark brandy on convivial occa sions was the rule. In later years the milder stimulant of whiskey came to be . more popular, until now the drinking vi uranay is ine exception. Then from whiskey to the lighter wines and beer until now it is safe to say that beer the popular drink. IS in the course of its article the Land mark quotes on the same subject from the New York Sun: generally, both in town and at coun iry resorts, me city people seem to be more temperate than formerly. The bar-rooms at the great hotel3 are not now doing a rushing business, and the beverages consumed are chiefly light lager beer being the favorite drink Saratoga, Long Branch, and Coney isi&uu are remarkaoiy rree rrom drunkenness, even when the crowds a them are the greatest. Even in thei leisure tne people are getting to be more abstemious, and their self-restraint is not due to legislation, but to tneir own good sense. mi : - it . xue luuuence or tne Uhurch, as we have said, has had much to do with this improved condition of things; it not improbable that the prohibition agitation, though failing of its direct object almost everywhere, has had Denencial influence also; and with these has conspired the "good sense" of the people, mentioned by the Sun. we may not expect the world to be come a total abstinence society, but great aavance is marked when it turns from imoderate to moderate drinking and from such consuming fluids as brandy and whiskey to wines and beer This immprovement in morals, man uers ana naoits may be expected to be progressive, too. There ha3 about ceased to be any employment in Ameri can life for a drunken man. One may nave procured a position and after wards contracted the habit of excessive drinking and yet hold his place a eood while,but when he finally gets out,as get out he must, ultimately, he is out the old employer does not want him any more and he can only find a new one by iaisenooa ana imposition. And the general tendency of employers these days, when needing help, is to look away entirely from men and boys, par ticularly the latter, who drink at all. Sobriety, like godliness, is profitable. "Among the objections to sending the liberty Bell to different parts of the country as a patriotic attraction at fairs and expositions," says the Philadelphia itecora, "the most serious one is seldom mentioned.. With the bell goes a body guard of city legislators. Now, if there be one thing more than another which the good people of Philadelphia would always like to keep at home, and hidden as much as possible from the public view, it is the usual aggregation who sit in city councils. They are fit neither to touch the Liberty Bell with their greasy and greedy palms nor to go with it to any place where it may be sent." This is too horrid, coming as it does from good,-. Republican Philadelphia. The idea has been that the only mem bers of city councils with "greasy and greedy palms" were those of wicked, Democratic New York. This is from the Augusta, Ga,, Chron icle; the editor of which is an ex-United States Senator: -It is circumstantially denied that Wanamaker made ,0v0,000 profit last year, in his dry goods establishment. We suspect that few Southern dry goods establishments have more than made a living in the last three years. One of the most prominent of dry goods men, at the South, is quoted as declaring that he had not made a dol lar in his regular business for three years, that Is, since the- gold standard was adopted. The gold standard was adopted three years ago, was it in 1892? What be comes, then, of the "crime of T3t" But the Chronicle is not the only 16-to oner to make facts to fit the theory. It is a way they have. - ; ; ro mate stiver convention, says a leading Democrat to our Raleigh corres pondent. . Ann i3 oao, . it means fun this fait. no Life tenure of office by a man who has the handling of public funds is a dangerous thing for Kim and for the public. In the progress of years lie is liable to lose the power to discriminate between his own money and that which is not his own, and to begin to feel that the office and everything thereunto per taining is fn a certain sense his. In his knowledge of the j books and doc uments in his charge and his capacity to lay his hand on anything in any of them that might be needed, A. R. Spof ford, the .librarian of Congress, has never had an' equal in the position he fills, and perhaps will never have. But he has perhaps been in office too Editor Daniels, of the Raleigh News and Observer, is anxious to go to Mexi co to learn about the effects of the. free coinage of silver, but he is neither will ing to walk nor to go by mule power. The man is altogether too particular. Wants to go in a Pullman car, perhaps, and be waited upon by a bareheaded nigger Jn a white apron who carries the air of owning the line. Sorry to see you go, Mr. Walter R. Henry, but if you must, good-bye. We are bound to say for you that yon made a very auspicious start for the destination you have reached when you unlimbered, some months ago, upon the typical North Carolina Democrat. So long! . The smartest thing the directors of the Atlanta Exposition have yet done is their determination that the Mexican bull fights shall not be pulled off. An affair like that would have lowered the tone of the whole business. In the Ohio Democratic convention yesterday, Cleveland, Brice and sound money won a clean, decisive victory. WALLEB TO BE RELEASED, This Government to Make a Demand on France for Indemnity The French Offi cers Have Been Blow and Inconsistent. Washington, Aug. 21. The case of John L. Waller, ex-consul of the United States at Tamatave, Madagascar, and now in prison in France, has assumed a phase that justifies this government in the belief that Waller's days of confine ment are nearly ended, and that he will soon be restored to liberty. It can be stated on the highest authority that the only reason why Ambassador Eutis has not been instructed to demand Waller s immediate release is that such a course might weaken the claim for indemnity which the United States proposes to make against France for the confisca tion of the rubber concession in Mada gascar. President Cleveland and Secretary Olney are now thoroughly satisfied that Waller's military trial was not con ducted in a proper manner and that his conviction of the crime of treason was based on the flimsiest evidence. It will be a matter of a very short time, a few weeks, perhaps, before Secretary Olney will instruct Ambassador Eutis to secure Waller's release and make a claim for indemnity against the French government on account of the confisca tion of his concession. Instructions were sent to Mr. Eutis July 3l8t to press his emphatic request for a copy of the record of evidence on which the ex-consul was declared a felon. Mr. Eutis failed to secure the record, and, on August 5th further in structions were sent him, even moreem phatio than the first. Communications received from the ambassador tell of his efforts to secure a copy of the record from the French ministry of foreign af fairs and of his several failures through the temporizing policy pursued by the authorities. After considerable delay and repeated requests he has been furnished a copy of the charges and specifications and of the sentence im posed upon Waller. He then renewed his demand for a copy ofjhe evidence, and was at first told that it would be granted very soon, as the record had been received in Franee. But, accord ing to his latest advice to this govern ment, the French ministry has told him, with that lack of consistency which appears to have marked the en tire negotiations, that the record of evidence is in Madagascar, and cannot be furnished without great delay. lhe statement thatthis government had done all that could be done to bring the Waller case to a speedy adjustment is unquestionable. The demand for Waller's release would have been made this month if the State Department had not been actuated by a desire to obtain for him the indemnity due for confisca tion of the rubber concession. Accord ing to the view taken by the President and Secretary Olney, compliance wij,h a demand ror Wallers immediate re lease would practically have ended the case, and left little ground for a claim for indemnity. It is the desire of the government to make its efforts to secure the freedom of Waller dependent on the intention to obtain indemnity and thus make the French do full iustice to tne imprisoned man. As matters now stand Waller s prospects are very hope- iui, ana nis release is assured, even the indemnity fail to be forthcoming. lhe amount of indemnity to be asked win be more than a million dollars. lhe exact sum cannot be ascertained and the probabilities are that it has not been determined on. The report that Waller is dying of consumption in prison is giving the State Department some uneasiness, but the information is not believed to be strictlv accurate. tne latest letters from Waller sid the chills and fever from which he suf fered had left him and that his health was much improved. A DOO FALL. Cleveland and Hill Men Strive for the Maa- terv A Drawn Battle. KOCHKSTKB, N. Y.. Aug. 21. The uemocratic caucuses in the cif of Rochester and the country districts of Monroe county were held last evening uoaer --tne arrangement made bv the oiau; committee looKing to the pacifica tion of the Hill and Cleveland factions of the party. The results as a whole were surprising and showed that the quarrel between the Tactions, which have been at daggers drawn for several years, had not been thoroughly harmon ized. In ten of the twenty wards of the city eacn iaction was successful, and in tk a . . . ue ouuuiy as a wnoie tne same propor tion marked the result, the Cleveland men carrying the first and third assem bly districts and the Hill men the sec ond and fourth. This will make an even break for State committeemen. Divided on the lines of senatorial dis tricts, the Hill men carried the forty third and the Cleveland men the fnrtv- fourth.

Washsgtok. Aug. Zl.Eversncelait Saturday the air has been full of rumors to the effect that General Ransom might not or would not be re-appointed minis ter to Mexico. Some of these have been denied in this correspondence, The story in the New York Morning Jour nal, not from Washington, that when General Ransom was in New York he called at Buzzard Bay to see the Presi dent and was refused that privilege Is contradicted on internal evidence. The general was never more at his ease than he was when here the last time.' Be sides, the same newspaper's Washing ton correspondence stated afterward that he would be re-appointed. The New York Sun's Washington correspondence to-day indicates a doubt of re-appointment. I find that theinformation was indirect and far from conclusive. My last dispatch Monday night expressed a shade of doubt If the appointment was not made in two days on the part of some of the general's outside friends. Their information came,I learn since, from a source rather unfriendly to him. There is no place of equal grade ac cessible and there is no danger of the President turning against any of his friends. The appointment is confident ly expected to morrow. A North Carolinian who has just re turned from the Stae heard more taltc of Julian 8. Carr, Lee 8.

A prominent Republican, who withholds his name, predicts as follows the attitude of the old parties on the currency question "A common impression in certain parts of the country is that the coinage will engage the attention of the public for some time forward. This is a mistaken impression. The matter of currency. or bink issues, will be considered first Personally Iwould prefer to have the government divorced from the whole question, but what will be decided on ultimately will be some form of super vision by which fluctuations will be prevented and security attained. I am a silver man, but I do not think either party next year will take decided ground in favor of silver free coinage 1 will say that if my party makes a gold platform, 1 will not support lis nominees in the ensuing election. I have always supported its ac tion hitherto, and I would stand a compromise plat form now. It is only wnen, n it ever snail, it goes over en tirely to the gold-bugs, that I will kick out of the traces. No, we shall have the old fight between the two great par ties pretty much as before. Mr. Cleve land, but for the tremendous opposition to the third term, would be your nomi nee again, for he has over the party he heads an overshadowing influence. expect to see rym virtually name your candidate. That candidate will not be a friend of silver. I do not know whether he will have to fight Harrison again or not. ror myself I am against second terms as well as third terms i Know mis man very well, tlis views have been modified within three or four months. I once quoted him as claim ing ttiat tne nepuoiicans would nomi nate a man for President more or less friendly to silver. He is from the West. Colonel Hankhead. Reiresentati ve in Congress from the Hirmiugham dis trict, like his colleague. Gen. Wheeler, tninKS Alabama is a tree coinage State. Furthermore, Colonel Hankhead observed to-dsy: "It appears that Ohio is likely to go for free coinage. Even if Brice captures the State convention by a small majority, it will be a moral victory for silver. His friends and the gold men generally have claimed the State by a large majority." THE DENIAL OF ADMISSION. The Authorities at Wwthliigton Do Not Regard Seriously the Fact That the Chi' nese Have Made the Massacre Inquiry i Star Chamber Affair It Will Come Right Later. Washington, Aug. 21. ConsurGen erai jernigan, at nangnai, nas in formed the State Department By cable gram that the investigation by the Chinese authorities of the Kucheng massacre is bemgeonducted with closed doors. Acting Secretary Adee has com municated this information in a cable gram to Mr. Denby, the United States minister at Peking, with instructions to ascertain its portent and, if it be true, to arrange matters so that the United States commissioner now at Kucheng, J. C. Hixson, United States consul at Foo Chow, can attend the hearing and not be hampered in getting all the facts. The State Department officials do not take a serious view of the failure of Consul Uixson to obtain admission to the hearing which the authorities are conducting, and are certain that the general government at Peking will set matters right. It is understood that the star chamber inquiry is being made by officials of the province in which Kucheng is situated, and these are not aware of the promise of the Tsung-Li-Yamen, or board of foreign affairs, to allow Great Britain and the United States to make the fullest and freest investigation. When Min ister Denby represents to the Tsung-Li-Yamen that the American commission er is being hampered in his effort to ob tain all necessary facts it is probable, according to the view taken here, that orders will be issued directing the authorities of the province to admit Mr. Hixson to the hearings and accord him every opportunity to ascertain all that he has been instructed to obtain by the Washington government.

The Union Pacific train No. 8, the east bound overland flyer, arrived' here t 3:10 this morning with the passengers In a state of great excitement, the ex press car shattered by dynamite and riddled with bullets, and the trainmen badly BcaredV The train was held op and robbed by bandits'in acut half way between Brady's Island and this place at 1 o'clock" this morning. The train was delayed' about 1 to hours. The robbers flagged the train and when it stopped they cut off the engine and or dered the engineer to accompany them to the express car. He was ordered to open the car with a crow-bar, but failed. The robbers tten exploded sev eral ; dynamite; cartridges against the car door, blowing it open and reducing the express messenger to submission. The safe was also blown open and its contents taken. It is not known what booty they secured. The robbers, when they took the engineer from bis engine, teft the fireman on board unguarded. He took advantage of his liberty to pull open the throttle and started for this place as fast as the engine would go. When the bandits saw the locomotive disappearing they realized that assist ance would soon be on hand, and they hurried along with their work, which was not so thorough as it would otherwise have been. They undoubtedly overlooked much valuable express matter. Upon the arrival of the' fireman with the engine at this point a, posse was hastily organized and returned to the scene of the robbery. The road agents had disappeared, how ever, and the train was brought -into Gothenburg, leaving the posse to wait daylight before taking up the trail of the robbers. It is believed they are few in number as they would not otherwise have left the fireman unguarded. Aside from scaring the passengers by volleys of Diatol shots." no one on the train was hurt or molested. The express messen ger refuses to make any statement as to the extent of the robbery and the trainmen know nothing. The posse which is in pursuit of the robbers is well armed and thoroughly acquainted with the countrv and it is certain that the bandits will be captured or killed during the next 24 hours. The train proceeded eastward at 4 o'clock. A JIVESILK PaKIT. A Great Time for the Toui Folks at Cleveland Springs Old Folks Turn Tonog Again. Special to lhe Observer, Cleveland Springs, Aug. 21. By far the most successful thing that has been attempted here, for years, for the amusement of the guests, was the juve nile party given by Miss Ella Fulmore and Mr. Kobe Wilkinson last night. The children were invited to come at 8:30 o'clock but long before that hour carriages began bringing the little boys and girls from Shelby. Miss Fulmore, dressed as a baby in a handsome long white muslin dress and cap, trimmed in baby blue ribbon, looked prettier than ever and did the part of hostess to perfection. She received her 1 ttle friends in the large dining hall, assisted by Mr. Wilkinson, dressed as Little Lord Fauntleroy. At 9 o'clock, after all the children had arrived, the grand march was commenced and after marching around the room three times they were turned loose to romp and play as they wished. It was a rare sight to see about forty grown couples, the cares of life laid aside and dressed as little children play ing the games of their childhood. Such games as "Going to Jerusalem" and "Little Sallie Walker" were played with as much spirit and gusto by them as if they were still in their teens or had uever had a care. A stranger just arriving would have thought that he had indeed discovered the fountain of youth. The men all wore knickerbockers and the ladies short dresses. Great credit is due Mrs. Z. T. Fulmore, of Texas, and Mrs. Snead, of Wilmington. It was their idea and to them fell the labor of making the costumes for the men. After indulging iu their childish pranks for some, lime they woundup their frolic with a dance that continued to the "wee sma' hours." The Darlington Guards broke camp to-day, each man declaring that it had been the most enjoyable two weeks he had ever spent in camp, and that the time for another encampment here could not roll 'round too soon. A fare well dance was given this morning in their honor. THE NARROW GAUGE PARLOR CARS. They Are Beautiful and Comfortable In Their Arrangement Llncolnton Mews. Special to tbe Observer.
