THE RALEIGH SIGNAL
LOGE HARRIS AS A DEMOCRAT
&c ALLY
His False Charges SO PaIpable They
May be Turned to Good Effect
Against Him.
[CharlOtte Chronicle. /


The Raleigh Signal is a vigorous
but very indiscreet advocate of the
Republican party.
Its indlscretion consists in forcibly
setting forth the generous way in
which the negro has been treated by
tue Democratic party. OF course, its
object is to win white votes for the
ticket headed by Col. O. H. Dockery.
White votes are very much desired by
that ticket, and the Raleigh Signal is
to be heartily congratulated on trying
to get into such good company; but
its logic is not apparent in It's efforts.
Why should any Democrat who might
object to negro's having an office
under Democratic administration vote
for Col. Dockery who favors race
equality under all circumstances
Last weeks SignM publishes the
following under the caption, ''Ne-
groes in Office" "
"President Cleveland has appoint
ed more negroes to important offices
than any other President. The New
York Star is the personal organ of
Mr. Cleveland, and that paper of Sun
day, September I'd, 1883, contains the
following list of negroes and their sal
aries who have been appointed to Of
flee by President Cleveland in pref
erence to good white Democrats, and
who are now in Office
Here follows list of 1T negroes
who have positions of minor char
acter in the Interior Department, and
in the Pension Office.
Gail these negroes were appointed
to office in preference to white men
and white women who were applicants
for each of these places. There are
white men and white women who are
almost starving vino would call down
blessings upon Mr.. Cleveland if they
could fill these places instead Of the
negroes who now hold these Offices.
"White Democrats! just think of
one hundred and seventeen negroes in
Office drawing one hundred and seven
thousand four hundred and eighty
dollars from the government every
year IN preference to that many good
white men and needy white women
Who would have thought white Dem
ocrats would have preferred these ne
grOes to the same number of white
Democrats?
"Here is more evidence that Mr..
Cleveland is a Negrophobist. No
color line by the head of the Demo
cratic party, but Judge Fowle appeals
to the color line IN this State
AS a matter of fact, not a single
appointment mentioned in the list, is
within the gift of the President. All
those positions are at the disposal of
the Secretary of the Interior, and OF
the Commissioner of Pensions.
Could it be only possible to make
the people of the Northern ard Wes-
tern States, who are abolitionists or
abolitionists' descendants, believe that
Grover Cleveland himself had been as
liberal and generous towards the ne
groes as the Signal is trying to make
j the people Of North Carolina think
| Cleveland has, there would be tidal
wave Of Democratic success in No
vember that would obliterate the Re
publican party.
The National Democratic Cam
paign Committee ought to circulate
the Raleigh, \. G., Signal as a Dem
ocratic campaign document.

Blaine,

Boston, August 14.-The Blaine party
was not astir until late this morning.
Several callers on Blaine were denied.
Addresses of congratulation from the
Republican club and from the league
of working men at East Cambridge
were presented at later hour, At
1l.3O a delegation from the Home
Market club was admitted to confer
ence. At IL the party left for the rail-
road station. There was no demon
stration en- route. When the carriage
reached the station there was large
crowd present. With difficulty the
passage was cleared by the police.
Blaine, on entering the car, was cheered
by the crowd. AS the train was about
to move, Blaine appeared on the plat
form in response to calls, and thanked
the people for their kind recognition.
The train then moved on the way to
Augusta.

The American Party.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE frs
national convention of the Am erica1
Party began sessions here this after
noon, Chairman Sharp called the cen
vention to order. There were abou
200 delegates in the hall, representing
twenty-five States and Territori, s
Hon. P. D. Wiginton, of California, was
elected temporary chairman. Wiginton
predicted the day was not far distant
when it can truthfully be said that
America is for Americans. He believes
Americans have the courage and ability
to manage their own affairs, notwith-
standing the fact that America is be-
coming the cesspool of the world. A
motion was here made limiting votes
to one for each Congressional district
and two at large from each State repre-
seqted, the District of Columbia to
have two votes. Pending action on
this proposition a motion was made
and adopted, directing the chairman to
appoint committee on credentials.
Recess.

Tho Alaska Eur Fisheries

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The House
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, to-day, commenced investiga-
ton into the fur seal fisheries of
Alaska. The resolution under which
the investigation is held irects the
committee to make thoro investi
cation into the fur seal fisheries OF
Alaska, and all con tracts or leases
made by government, with any persons
or companies, for taking fur seal or
other fur-bearing animals in Alaska,
the character, duration and conditions
of the same. The committee is also
directed to ascertain whether contracts
have been violated, and report whether
any legislation is necessary for the pro-
lection of seal fisheries.
s. s. BuyingsKy, ex-agent of the
Treasury Department, who had spent
three months On the Island of st.
George, and some time on the Island
of st. Paul in 1871 and 1872; said that
while on st. Paul Island he found the
people good-natured and peacable. The
terms of contract with the Alaskan
Company required that the company
should look after the peoples interests.
He had no reason to make any
observations to the agent of the com
pany with regard to the same. The
company had issued an order that there
should be no greater advance than 25
per cent. on the commodities of life over
wholesale prices of San Francisco. He
was satisfied there was no departure
from this rule. The only grievance the
natives had was the attempted sup
preston by agents of the company and
those of the government of the practice
by the natives of distilling beverage
which the agents regarded as poisonous.
The company had given all its work to
natives at fair compensation.
The probable effect of opening up to
competition the seal fisheries, WITH ess
said, would be 10 drive seals from the
Alaskan Islands to the Russian seal
Islands and the people OF the Alaskan
Islands would be deprived OF liveli-
hood and have to be supported by the
United states government.
II. A. Glidden also ex-agent of the
treasury department at Seal Islands
from May 1882 to July 1885, said
the moral habits of the people were
good. There was no breach of peace to
speak of and no necessity for civil Of
fcers. The great evil existing was the
propensity of. the people to gamble. 1t
was their great failing. No intoxicat-
ing liquors were allowed to be sold. His
observations were that laborers were
paid better than any other laborers il
the world. From an almost
barbarous state under the Rus
sian government, the Islanders
have been brought up to state
of standardization, under the influence
of the American government. His
opinion was if fisheries were thrown
open TO competition, seals would be-
come extinct in five years. The policy
of leasing the privilege of taking seals
was the very best that c2uld be prac-
ticed by the government. The COM
mittee adjourned subject to call of the
chairman.

The Immigration Investigation.

New YORK, Ausust 14.-The Con-
gressional committee to-day resumed
investigation into the evils of immi-
grafton. A. Packard, manufacturer
of ship stores, took the stand to give
evidence of his knowledge of aliens
commanding American vessels. Wit
ness had heard of many such cases and
said it was common talk among
shipping men Of turning out American
commanders to make way for TO eigners.
Inc reason of this was that aliens
worked cheaper than natives-the sala-
ries ranged from $40 to 1915 per month.
while the natives whom they drove
away receive from 500 to SIPS monthly.
The witness went on to say the foreign
captains. Two-thirds of the crews
were foreigners, principally English and
Norwegian sailors.

James Hehngey, an Irish immigrant,
said he was induced to immigrate by
Ireland. Agent John DonneIly, of the
Anchor Line, met him while he was
working driving car, and told him he
could get from $40 to $14 week in this
country. His wages abroad ranged
from II to % shillings a week. Steam
ship agents IN Ireland were constantly
talking of the good wages TO be re-
ceived here. Circulars were also

The Anti-Chinese Bill

WASHINGTON, August 14.-The House
committee on foreign affairs this
morning instructed Creary to call up
in the House next Saturday the bill to
give effect to the Chinese treaty. A
few formal amendments in the Senate
bill will be recommended by the COM
mittee, the most important being one
to repeal conflicting acts, presumbably
held by the Senate through inadver-
lance. Although these amendments
are purely formal they are regarded
as essential to the perfect intent of the
measure and their adoption by the
House will necessitate the return of the
bill to the Senate and further action by
that body before it can take the form
of law.

SALT LAKE CITY, August 7, 1888.

Dear Doctor before leaving for the
east l wish TO express my appreciation
OF your treatment of complicated case
of the eyes. | have tried for several
years TO get far-seeing glasses, and l
mad concluded that could get none
that would be of any benefit to me. But
after | saw the wonderful benefit of
your system, | take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision botL for reading ar d
ar-seeing to the same condition as in
my boyhood. l resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after I witnessed
your system to beautiful young lady
of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with a complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. As she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, DO
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened to her
view, as novel and beautiful as "Eden's
rosy bowers" appeared to our first
parents.
