The Republi- kins, Shoup, Prllchard, Baker and Harris, of Kansas. Senator Piatt, of New ioik was there some time with the committee, but he appeared to be a listener rather than a participant In the proceedings. Senator Perkins was given a hearing on the fruit schedule. He presented the committee with samples of both California and foreign currants ana raisins, and asked tor an Increase of the rate of Zante currants, bringing it up to : IVx cents per pound. He also suggested a duty of a cent a pound on oranges and lemons, instead of of a cent, as fixed by the Dingley bill. It was suggested to Mr. Perkins by some of the members of the committee that the fruit schedule had already been at tacked because of rates charged to be high, but the California Senator con tended for thorough protection. Mr. Perkins Suggested a substitute sched ule on beet sugar, providing for a duty of one cent a pound on sugar testing 70 by the polariscope, and increasing to one and a half cents the $0 per cent, test. The committee promised to give the matter due attention, but gave no further Indication of the probable re sult of Its deliberations. A more pro nounced favorable reception was given to a suggestion for a drawback duty on imported tin cans in which fruits and salmon are exported. This suggestion appeared to meet with favor. Senators Elkins and Wellington both appeared in support of the Dingley rate on coal, which there is an eftort to have re duced. During the day a number of Senators from the inter-mountain States met to agree upon a plan of co operation. They reached no definite conclusion, except to stand together in their demands on wool, hides, cattle, lead, ore; and other Rocky Mountain products. WANTS TO BREAK THE HIWG. Adr.nc.meut of tbe City and Dowi With Maehlas Politic. To the Editor of the Observer: In this city there has been no politi cal ticket put up other than the Dem ocratic ticket for about twelve years. There has literally been no politics In our city election for mayor, for all that time. How came this to be the case? The writer understands that it all came about from the liberal idea of the Dem ocratic machine in permitting men of all parties to enter the primaries who would agree to be governed by the nom inee. This permitted the best men and politicians of both sides to take part if they saw fit. Certainly iL-worked well, because the machine nominee was always elected without opposition until, in their greed, a few politicians, who were desperate at the possibility of a foe worthy of their wits, attempted to draw such lines, whlch.at the particular time.many real Democrats could not enter, to say nothing about ruling out each and every single recruit. Ring rule never has lasted, ana In this instance will be broken, though tht re will be a mighty howl and a great hue and cry over the word "Democrat." Oh, Democracy, how many frauds have been committed in thy name; how hard for thee to bear the load tied to thy yoke; how often has the machine been worked for selfish purposes! The noble Senator Vance said. De mocracy is Immortal." and the writer well knows that her principles are Im mortal, but oh, how can she be more than a spirit, an idea, if the machine is used for selfish men with selfish pur poses? Never forgive for scratching a single Improper candidate; or forgive for scratching one part and not the other; or positively refuse a sigle new recruits- all done for the selfish few. In these days, when the machine is selfish and unwise. Is pulling our Dem oc ratio leg, so to speak, have we, not a right to burst the machine ring ana revolutionise Democracy before she is nothing more than a fond nope or re membrance. Let us break the ring, boys. Let us have our own Democracy, free of the ring, clique or other ideas. Let us be free of such narrow Ideas, and have our Democracy built on a broad-minded basis, with an eye sin gle to the future of Charlotte, free of all cliques, extending a welcome hand to all. new-comers to our city and our Democratic principles, losing sight of partisan politics as long as we can per suade, them and use them and have them build and make our noble little city great. Let our battle-cry be, ."Advancement of the city and down with machine poll tics!" SPRINGS-ITE. A PREACHER BOBBED.

TktM Ballots Takoa Yostorday A BnMk Botwooa Jaartia aa Blsekkan-Aa Vm- rail Staa by JaageCaatnU. . Frankfort, Ky., April , IS. The sold Democrats held no caucus to-night, and the programme for i senatoriAl ballots to-morrow is the same as that of the past two days. - Hunter's chief lieuten ants told an Associated Preas reporter that he bad no idea or, witnarawing: that he might do so If it was requested or suggested by the administration, bat intimated that they had the beat of reason for believing'- that, no" such re quest or suggestion will ever come. Blackburn's forces are confident that the deadlock will last if Hunter remains on the track, as the gold men are prac tically committed to never vote for him. and they will go so far as to lend him encouragement rather than see him quit the track and ruin their plans for "no-election till next winter." The grand. Jury adjourned again to-night without making any report, bnt were very busy all day after the additional charge given them by Judge uantreu. The Judge this morning called the Ju rors into open court and instructed them as to their duty In the case before them. He said he regretted that the matter came up before the adjournment of the Legislature, and felt that It was the duty of the Legislature to wash Its own dirty linen, but having- attempted in vestigation. It was their duty to probe It to tne DOttom. auu ta uuuis bu. continued the Judge, "I command you not to show any favoritism." This un usual step on the part of a circuit Judge was received with surprise by botn tie publicans and Democrats. The first ballot to-day resulted as fol lows: Hunter, 58; Blackburn, 43; Mar tin. 19; Boyle, 6; Stone, I, leaving Hunt er still two votes sr-rt or an election. No motion to adier was made, and the second ballot w. ordered. The sec ond and third ballots resulted as fol lows: Hunter. 67; Blackburn, 42; Martin, 10: Bo vie. 6: Stone. L A motion was then made that the General Assembly adjourn, which prevailed. It is report ed on what is believed to be excellent a'uthority, that there is a serious breach between State Benatsor Henry it aaarun and ex-United States Senator J. C -H, Blackburn, the silver Democrat Mar tin, who has worked like a Trojan for Blackburn during the past two years, feels that he now has a chance to win the prize himself, it having been icon cluslvely demonstrated that Blackburn cannot be elected, but Blac&Durn ana his lieutenants have so far refused to countenance the movement ana cen sured Martin for his alleged treachery.

Bainbridge, Ga., April 15. About 8:30 o'clock last niarht two negroes. . un masked, entered the store of D. B. Eng lish, at Climax, eight miles east of Bainbridge, on the Savannah, Florida ft Western Railroad, where Mr. mngiisn, Dr. Carter and three young men were engaged In conversation. The negroes stepped In wltb a pistol in eacn nana and ordered the white men to turn their faces and hold up their hands. while they went through their pockets, takino- what money they had, but re- training from talcing watcnes, oc mntr articles or jewelry, Mr. jmtgima waa then ordered at the muzzle of two 88 calibre revolvers, to open his- safe.

Thlrty-nue col lars In cash, a baa of canned goods. two pairs of shoes and a hat, was what was stolen. While the negro was rob bing the safe, he took out an or Mr. English's nrlvate papers and in his presence deliberately tore his insurance policies and otner papers into hiuu pieces, after which they left the store, rtef la.rine that they would remain on the outside of the store-house until the train passed at 11 o'clock, and if either one of the gentlemen attempted to put his head outside of the door he would be instantly shot. Having no arms, the whites had to submit and remained in doors for more than an hour, while the robbers made good their escape. Blood hounds are on the trail. MEETINGS AT PINEVIIXE. ETangellt Little's Good Work Hope for the Recovery of Mr. "Sirens. Special to the Observer. Pineville, April 15. Rev. James Lit tle, an evangelist from Union county, is holding a meeting here under a tent in a grove near the factory. The meeting has been in progress about a week and notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Lit tle has labored under disadvantages. such as the intense excitement caused by the shooting of Mr. Ed NIven Just at the beginning of the meeting, the busy time with farmers and other un toward circumstances, he has aroused much interest and is drawing large crowds to hear him. He makes no effort to gret up excitement, makes col lections a secondary matter and steers clear of the many propositions so freely inulged in by the modern traveling evangelist. The people here are very much pleased with him and his preach ing will doubtless result in mucn gooa. Mr. Ed Nlven. who was so severely wounded by a pistol shot through th- lungs, on the 3d Inst., by Ell Mars nail, a negro that he was trying to arrst, Is resting more comfortably and is physician, pr.
