honorable Senator? Is it a change
in the method of producing tobacco?
We know better than that. Is it a
change in the methed of taxing it?
There has been no change in that
process. Is it change in the con-
dition which confronted us in 1882,
and which confronis US now? The
conditions are practically the same.
Has the change in the political!
complexion of the administration
affected thN honorable Senator, or
have we reached that happier period
when men decline te smoke or to
chew or to snuff? l leave these
questions to the consideration of the
Senator of Ohio.

Mr.. Phillips used to receive, and with
which he paid interest on the old

Court. Itnow goes into the Treasury.
In this very hasty glance at Mr..
Harris figures, we are conscious that
we have not done the subject fall JUS
tice. ut We glory in the financial
record of the Democratic party, its
honesty in administration, its economy
its progressiveness, Its charity to the
poor and suffering. We have atteHdS
ed aid tc- the orphan, to the disabled
soldier, to the poor widow, ito the deaf
and dumb and blind of the colored
people, and to the insane of the color
ed race as we'll as the white race. We
have spent large sums of money for
education have established normal
schools for both races, and have pre-
served the good name of our people in
providing for the interest on the large
public debt for which the faith of our
people was pledged. We have issued
no fraudulent special tax bonds and
have provided no fund to pay interest
ON them. We have sought to benefit
the farming interest by appropriatirg
money to that end While doing all
this we have steadily reduced taxes
and have not lost cent by stealage
or fraud.
What in all this would Mr.. Harris
have changed? What expense would
he have cut off Let him answer
plainly. Let the Republican party

TIE ABUSE OF POWER.

The Winston SENTINEL quotes the
Greensboro North State. Republican,
as ,authority for the statement that
judge Settle is resident of Florida
and would not be eligible for Office in
North Carolina 1t says that Doug
las Settle, son of Judge Settle, bas been
appointed by Congressman Brewer,
cadet to West Point THE SENTINEL
goes for Brewer "with gloves off, for
giving the appointment to young
man whose father is not only NOT a
resident of his district, but does not
even live in Nor h Carolina. The
SENrINEL's criticism is eminentiy just
aud proper. A cadetship is not given
TO Congressman to bestow as a per-
sonai gift. He merely has the ap-
continent. There are plenty of young
mem, the sons of poor parents, in toe
Fifth District, to whom an appoint
ment to West Point would be the only
means of obtaining a good education
and good position in life. Brewer
forgets them, and appoints the son OF
a man who is we'll able to educate his
son, and who is not q resident OF
North Carolina
This is Republican practice. They
cry aloud tha. they love the poor, but
when Trey have an opportunity to
/ give fruits ef their love, they are
/ weighed and found wanting. John
Nichols gave his son the only good
place he had. and following that bad
precedent, Brewer gives like place

The SENTINEL rejoices with Fay.
etteville. No "bloom of youth" is
needed to make her matronly cheek
beautiful. She is progressing. A pub

and the citizens memorialized Com
gress, asking for public building, or
ganized real estate and loan agency

the whole town became enthused.

Joseph L. Peal, of Bethel, is a 8 adj

time he has been receiving letters
from j. III. Ward, of New York, offer

Last week he went on and was met by
q man representing himself as neph-
ew of Judge Howard, of Tarboro.
This man borrowed $4OO "for few
minutes" and skipped. Peal inform
ed the police, but the sharper could
not be caught. Peal is rascal him
self, and 1t served him right.

A few evenings since this local APP
peared in the Charlotte Hornet: d.
G. Maxwell, Esq, who has the repu-
tation of having the marriage cere-
mony down finer than any magistrate
in the State-so fine, in fact, that he
can accommodate any taste or purse,
from % cents to the K enclosed in an
embossed envelope-has not married
a couple now for forty eight hours. In
order to start a boom, he offers a
premium of a pumpkin to the first
couple calling upon him to perform
the marriage ceremony for them.
Who will get the pumpkin The
next evening couple claimed che
premium. Mr.. L. G. Quinn and
Miss Emma Campbell, accompanied
by crowd of friends, entered the
Colonei's office and the pair were
united. After the ceremony, the inn
mense pumpkin, decorated with red
ribbon for the occasion, was presented
amid shouts of merriment. The
groom's best man undertook to con-
vey the fruit to the home Of the newly
welded couple.

turn their heads to look at him. The

to follow his example.

Russians Rejoice over a Rail-
road Entcrprise--Prince Bis

LONDON, May 2s.-In a speech at Kill
dare John Dillon denounced the bishops
who support the papal rescript. The
Nationalist body, he said, was not afraid
Of bishops threats or mandates from the
vatican, and the plan of campaign and
boycotting would not be abandoned.
At Waterford Mr.. Healey twitted the
Pope with working the plan Of campaign
when the Sardinians grasped his terri
tory, and charged him with boycotting
Victor Emanuel.
Twenty thousand persons attended
the meeting at Limerick, which was ad.
dressed by William o 'Brien, who hurled
invectives at Bishop 0'Dwyer, saying
the threats in his manifesto were the
rashest and most unjust ever made. The
bishop, he said, left Limerick after sup
plying every Orange newspaper with
copies of the manifesto, but without
giving one to the mayor, to whom 1t was
nominally addressed. He said there
never was anything falser than the
bishops assertion that the Nationalists
were agitating against the Pope. The
crowd groaned at the mention OF Bishop
O'Dwyer's name. A dozen other meet
ings were held in different places.

Death.
AUGUSTA, GA. May 2s.-Joe Smith,
an old grocer, was killed this morning
by William Mcknight, who has been
devoted to Mrs. Martin, and it was OBJ
lection to his presence around the house
that caused the fight. Martin was
kicked and stamped in the stomach
while Mrs. Martin was looking on. The
old man crawled off TO bed groaning,
and died about day-break. Mcknight,
it seems, spent the greater part OF the
night with Mrs. Martin, for the police
could not find him, and he was seen
by some parties leaving the house in the
morning. He and Mrs. Martin had
been within sound OF the groans OF old
Martin, who cried in vain for medical
attendance.
Mrs. Martin says now that she thought
the old man was playing possum. She
is pretty, coquettish woman, and her
husbands store is generally well filled
with admirers. Mcknight had just left
Jail, where he was on charges preferred
by Martin. A day or two ago his wife
told police officer that her husband
was no good and she did not care II he
would die. Their one child stared at
the fathers remains dry-eyed while the
physician was making IN autopsy. The
husband has spent the past five or six
years drinking his wife's whisky and
watching her with jealous eyes. She
generally outwitted him by getting him
in an advanced stage OF drunkenness.
Mcknight represented the Portner
Brewery Company, and was there every
day delivering supplies. Mcknight has
fed TO Columbia county, where his
father is most respectable planter.

An Indignant Lady Denounces the Action

of the Recent State Convention.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 27.-some-
what Of a sensation was caused here by
the publication OF lengthy card by Miss
Sally F. Chaplin, in which she denounced
the action of the recent State Prohibi-
ton Convention. Mrs. Chaplin is the
superintendent OF the southern work w.
c. T. U. She went to Columbia primed
for big speech, and to take control of
the convention. The first thing done
after the organization OF the convention
was the passage OF resolution allowing
only voting Democrats the right to speak
and vote in the convention. When the
result OF the vote was announced Mrs.
Chaplin arose and walked from the hall.
She was followed by L. NJ. Brayton,
chairman OF the State Republican Exec
utive Committee.
The Convention then deliberately
smashed all the states arranged by the
third party men. In closing her card,
Mrs. Chapin says: "Any political body
might have learned approved lodges
from the Democratic non-prohibition
convention. Prof. Haynes, who was
unfortunately too i'll to attend the gath
ering, sent in resolution asking that
the Convention indorse the introduction
by law, into the public schools, OF the
study OF the effects OF alcohol upon the
human system. In thirty-four States
and territories this law Is in operation,
hut this convention declined to indorse
It. Another proposition was, that Pro,
hibitionists would nominate for office
only such Democrats as would pledge
themselves to stand by the prohibition
cause. This, too, after heated discus
sion, was withdrawn as being inConsist
ent with the principles Of the Demo
cratic party. And yet It was claimed tc
be a non:partisan convention. There
were good and true Prohibitionists in
the Convention who feel Inundated and
mortified at the turn things took. The
Convention was meant to be Prohihi
ton Convention. A ring captured it
but prohibition still lives, and God lives
and can overrule wicked designs for Hi
own glory,N

General Conference Mt AdrIan-The Busi

nCtHut AhEup
ADRIAN, MIcH., May 2s.-A remark
able episode in the proceedings of the
Methodist Protestant General Confer,
ence was an impromptu watch-are and
council OF Northern and Southern sol.
diers of the late war at the close OF the
temperance meeting, Friday night. An
association similar to the Grand Army,
but constituted OF the blue and the
gray, and on the basis OF prohibition, is
thoroughly organized in this State, and
expected to extend throughout the na-
ton. This reunion was under its aus.
pices. The entire morning session OF
the conference Saturday was consumed
in the tedious discussion and location OF
the boundary lines OF the annual con-
ferenCes. A committee was formed from
among the most prominent ministers oi
the church to formulate doCtrinal
creed rejecting the distinctive tenets OF
Armenian Meth0dism. a board Of home
missions, to be located in Springfield,
Ohio, authorized through travelling
secretary to collect and disburse funds
for the extension OF the church and sup.
port OF missionaries in the far West and
elsewhere throughout the States was
constituted.
Rev. B. Stout, OF West Virginia, after
three ballots, on motion OF one OF the
rivals and second OF three others, was
unanimously elected secretary to the
board. The WoL c is Fo. gn Mission
ary Society was commended to the
church, and its privileges aud powers
enlarged. 1t is permitted to collect
funds, employ missionaries and Bible
readers, and to designate their fields OF
labor, its executive committee to be
elected by and responsible alone to the
General Conference. 1t may not raise
money by public collections or in any
way to conflict with the support OF the
general board, but by life memberships,
beouests, &C., and by collections taken
at meetings called in the interest OF the
society. The executive committee are
Messrs. Gillespie, Miller, Anderson,
Palmer, Brown, 0'Brien OF Baltimore,
Coxson, Spahr and Morgan.
The report OF the committee on pub
fishing interests recommended that an
effort be made at the Ecumenical Coun.
Gil to effect the publication OF hymnal
adapted to the use Of all forms Of Meth
odism. A number Of changes in the
regulations OF the book concerns, in
tended to compose differences and con;
flicting interests which have existed
since the union Of the Methodist and
Methodist Protestant bodies were adopt
ed. A motion to give the Board Of Pub
lication power to dismiss the editor as
well as agents for incompetency was
ruled out by the Chair. The United
States Congress was memorialized TO
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
fntoxicants in the District OF Columbia.
At the close OF the afternoon session,
Mr.. Reynolds, pastor Of the church, was
presented publicly with gold watch in
behalf OF many members of the body.

At the Discriminating Rates Made by the
Chicago, Burlington & Northern.
CHICAGO, May 2s.-The Chicago. Bur.
lington & Northern road in, making low
through rates from the seaboard to st.
Paul and Minneapolis, has aroused the
indignation OF local shippers, who claim
that it is a discrimination against
Chicago. A number of local jobbers
met to-day at the rooms of the Chicago
Freight Bureau to consider the matter.
General Freight Agent Hamblin, of the
Burlington & Northern, and General
Freight Agent Morton, OF the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, were present by
invitation, and a somewhat animated
discussion took place.
Mr.. Hamblin took the position that as
his road had no local business to speak
oft was justified in meeting the through
rates made by the lake and rail lines in
order to obtain a portion OF the business
He said the Burlington & Northern was
willing to abandon the business ii the
Chicago merchants would show wherein
they would be benefited by it. The
claim was made that other Chicago
roads were cutting through rates from
the seaboard to the Mississippi river
points via Chicago. No decisive action
was taken, but there is little doubt that
the merchants will bring about an inves'
tigation OF the matter by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., May 2S.-Two
young men on their way to work here
this morning discovered the body of
Henry Whitehouse, aged %, an em-
ployee of the electric light works, living
on Mobiles Island shore, near the black
smith shop. The body was terribly dis
figured; the throat was cut from ear TO
ear, and head contained ten or twelve
wounds, inflicted with some blunt in
strument. A maChinist's hammer was
found near the body. .Whitehouse had
been paying attention to a young lady
in Kittery, and left her house shortly
after II O'clock last night, and was due
at the electric station at IL. 1t is sup
posed that Whitehouse was killed on
the highway near the railroad track and
dragged to the shore. A trail Of blood
leading from the track was discovered.
Superintendent Palmer, OF the Electric
Light company, when shown the ham
mer exclaimed: "My God, that settles
il in my mind" Ten minutes later the
Sheriff arrested James Palmer, n former
employe Of the company, and lodged
him in Jail on suspicion OF being the
murderer.
On Wednesday Whitehouse in COM
pany with Sheriff Coffin and Superin-
tendent Palmer, searched Palmer 5
house for some tools. Palmer, it is said,
sWore to be reVenged,
