many Of the principal cities IN the United

The president has placed the United States

Ensign FOulk has been detailed TO accom-
pany them as interpreter. He is a gradu

visited the principal countries in Europe
Ensign FOulk will accompany the Cogeans
to their own country. His knowledge of
the Japanese language was Of the greatest
advantage to the embassy during THEN
stay here, as none of them hal any
knowledge Of English, though one OF

The Republican Senator's Address.

The Republican state senators have
issued an address to the public in de-
fsnse of their record on theapportionment
question. It Is made at much length,
but their position may be succ'nctly
stated to be that they have endeavored
to obey the command of the constitution
that the apportionments shall be made,
and have gone to the full length that
their conscientious conviction of Their
duty would permit them to 60 in max
ipg concessions TO the Democratic de-
mands. They proceed to show by figures
what congressional representation q
proper apportionment of the state would
give to the respective parties, and the
result they attain is that the Republican
party should have eighteen representa-
tives given it and the Democratic party
ten.
With this conclusion we are quite con
tent that they shall go before the people
for their verdict as TO whether they nave
in fact gone to the verge OF conciliation
in their eudeavor to discharge what
thew admit to have been their constitu
tional duty to Justly and properly appor
tion the state into congressional districts
The people are not likely to be induced
by any collocation of figures to believe
that the two great parties, with nearly
an equal vote in the state behind them
can be no more nearly apportioued IN
their representation in Congress than
as eighteen is to seven II Will
recommend itself readily to the com
mon sense of the people that they should
be represented in Congress as thelI
political sentiment Is discovered by theli
votes. Each party should have ike
number of representatives, II the vote
of each party is the same and 1t VII

tricts cannot be made, by fair mel

eighteen to ten iu representing IN Con
gress parties of nearly equal strength
1t will be readily conceded that in max

qualities may not be measuraby equal

Of Tie state, either directly or through
the sinking fund and the moneys of
the sinking fund shall never be inucsted Il

ercept The bonds OF the United States or
this state" 1t is estimated that the
amount in the sinking fund on Nov. 80,
1888, will be $2,073, 49s 34. Under the
act of May 0, 1874, section 10, it is or.

II should not be forgotten by the repu.
table, tax paying citizens that the jobber
and his henohmen never omit to vote.
They are well organized and come rain or
shine they will be at the polls on election
day. 1t is therefore the duty Of the
independent citizen, interested IN the
cause OF good government, to take meas
ures to offset this advantage which the
most irresponsible classes of society
possess over him. This he can only do by
entering vigorously into the political fight
and endeavoriug to arouse his neighbors
to do likewise. Against well disciplined
army of heelers, held well in hand by the
bosses, the independent voter will disap
pear like mist before the sun. AS the
present contest in the state is one between
the taxpayers and the treasury ring, it is
especially necessary that the independent
voter should use the most strenuous
oxertions in getting his neighbors to the
polls, II this Is done no vain regrets viii
arise to torture him in the future, aud the
smashing of the treasury ring and tht
benedlctons OF future generations vii

Information has been received of a

Jones, a oolored straight out Republican,
attempted to address the meeting. Peleg

who was present, declared that Jones
should not tspeak. NJ +. PEBBLES, a North
Carolinian, who happened to bo at the
meeting, interfered. Carren draw a

PEBBLES. The latter seeing his danger

q friend and the ball struck in the arm OF
William Branch, Carren returned the

Mahoneite, sneaked mp behind Putnam
Warrel a white Democrat, and struck him
on the head with pole, Telling him TO the
