My purpose to-day is to speak to

has ever been done. AS to what my
friend says in regard to its costing you
so much he is too late in the day find
ing that out.
They have been in power now four
years and here at the close of the four

authority. (Laughter,)

Chronicle which contains the account
of a number of gentlemen who went
up to Washington last winter to in
duce the Democratic members of the
Committee of Ways and Means to do
what Let me read here to you.
Chairman Battle is the first to speak
and gave as his conviction that unless
something should be done with the
Internal Revenue law, in North Caro-
lima the result would be doubtful. He
urged the repeal from n political
stand point.
The next gentleman to speak told
the committee that North Carolina
would be lost to the Democracy unless
some modification of. the revenue be
effected and if such a modification
would be made, North Carolina would
be sure for Cleveland No tariff yet.

Buxton, (applause,) spoke on the tax
on this section of North Carolina and
told how failure to modify it had
converted the 9th District into Re-
publican district and how a continued
failure to reduce it would make his
district absolutely Republican. Oh,
Lordy! What says Mr.. Glenn?
Your tobacco raisers and your whis-
key producers may go to thunder, the
North Carolina Democracy must be
saved. What else?

Says he I quote from a resolution
passed in 1883 in Democratic Leg

Renolntions of ohio wonl-Growers.

COLUMBUS. o., Jan. 24.--At a meeting Of the
Ohio Wool-growers' Association to-day, ad-
dresses were delivered by President David Harp
ster, Columbus Delano. and Judge Lawrence
Resolutions were adopted which recite that
the wool-growing industry of the United States
requires protection favorable as that of 1867,
under the condition then existing; indorsing the
schedule Of duties agreed upon by the recent
conference at Washington City. and demanding
its enactment into law and its continuance SO
long rs it will accomplish the purpose; opposing
the nomination Of any candidate for Congress or
Senator OF the United States, or President of
the United States who is not publicly pledged to
favor and support protective duties to the extent
aforesaid 1t demands OF all national conventions
which may nominate candidates this year for
the presidency explicit declaration In favor
OF protective duties to the extent named in the
resolutions. The resolutions favor a reduction
of the surplus in the Treasury by abolishine the
internal revenue system as it relates to tobacco
in all forms, and il this ia inadequate, to in
crease custom duties on all articles which most
severely compete with home production; they
cannot appreciate the justice of policy which,
under pretense OF reducing revenue, proposes to
place wool on the free list whereby only about
50, 900. 900 are gained. and at the same time pre-
serve the duty sugar. which yields $4,000 900
annually, and at the same time the wool industry
is pursued in every State in the Union.

HEROES ILL-rREATED.

The Survivors of Greely's Expedition Still
Creditors of the Government
Washington Special
Those who have read the modest narrative of
Lieutenant Greely's expedition to Lady Frank
in bay will feel something akin to indignation
when they learn that the heroic survivors of
that wonderful crew have not yet received from
the governments their regular allowances for
quarters and fuel. Had they remained in the
barracks at Fortress Monroe or in Boston har-
Dor they would have received these allowances
without question, but their absence in the frozen
North and the form OF the order detailing them
caused a hitch which could only be got over by
act Of Congress-.
A bill was reported to the Senate in the last
Congress and easily passed, but encountered op-
position in the House from General Bragg be-
cause it reported from the committee

He claimed that it should have gone to his com
mittee and he felt insulted. He, therefore, felt

MINOR MATTERS.

The Utah Industrial Home Not as Success
full Could Be Wished.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The President to-day
transmitted to the Senate the report Of the
board of control of the Industrial Home in Utah
Territory, established by Congress to provide
employment and means Of support for depend
ent women who have renowned poygamy, and
for their young children. with q view to aid in
the suppression Of polygamy. The report says
that the home has been in operation since Nov.
20, 1886, but that for the ten months covered by
the report it has received only twenty-seven per-
sons within its walls. The expenditures
were $685.. The home. the report contin-
ues has not yet attained that position which its
creators confidently hope and believe it can,
with additional legislation enlarging the class of
persons who may be admitted within its walls.
