party on the tariff question, he says:
We must 90 on without halt 1t is
our mission to reduce tariff taxation and
remove the burden off the people. We
will continue the fight for tariff reform
until The next presidential election, and
then again force the issue. 1t is the duty
of the next house of presentatives, if it
has a democratic majority, to pass an

democratic orators and newspapers to
educate the people on the iniquity Of
unnecessary taxation The tariff ques.

and We bad had sufficient time to educate

National Board of Trade yesterday, Secre-
tary Hill read preamble on the injurious
effect of adulteration of lard on the CONNER

gress pass law requiring adulterated lard

cussion it was suggested that the Laird bill
now befoie congress covered the subject,
and after further discussion the Laird bill
was indorsed.
A resolution recommending the discontin-
uance of monthly crop bulletins by the de-
partment of agriculture was proposed. 1t
was declared taat their only effect was to
disturb the worli's markets without giving
any reliable information.
A substitute for this resolution was adopt
ed, recommending such appropriations by
congress for the use of the newly established
department OF agriculture as may be deemed
necessary, and requesting that department
to consider the expediency of establishing
agencies at the several state capitals, who's
duty it shall be to collect aud coliate stats
tical information and transmit the result tc
the department by telegraph, not later thar
the fifth day of each month. A resolution
was also adopted that congress be asked t.
legalize the GENITAL system for transactions ir

view to itsintroduction in place of the bushe

THE SOULS MIRRORS.
Eyes from a Physiological stsndpoint--A
Lad I'm Love.

Lad IN Love.
The eye is crystal of marvellous clear
ness, with black background to the pupil,
to absorb the light which else would be re-
tected and dazzle u.s. The crystal of the iris
is colored in blending rays and fibers, as in
certain fbrous cleaning stones, rendering
the light peaSanter to the eye and the eye
more beautiful in itself Now there is no
such index to the health as the eye If the
blood is pure and coursing freely with air and
exercise in due degree, the crystal light, the
depth of color, and the liquid softness of
abundant executive all betray the good con-
dition. If one is out of sorts, or less than in
high condition, tile eyes are lighter in shade,
and ta7e an Opaque, CLASSY look; they CON
tract and retreat as the sensitive tissues of its
setting are the first to be drawn upon in any
serious depletion of strength The cushion
| of fat IN which the eyeball rests lends it
| prominence, and as fatigue drains its serous
fluid, the eye looks sunken and dull So
much for physiology.
1t is strange that the men who boast their
| only books are women's looks, do not learn
more of their phenomena We hear enough
of herolne's eyes in various languages, but it
is mighty little the novelists have to tell us
TO wha. they might. You say there is little
variety in eyes, save some that are a trife
larger than others, some are black some gray,
some blue. But OF all the differences in this
planet it seem as if the Maker had chosen te
show most wonder in this precious trife of the
eye, set near the brain and in some sort ten
anted by the soul itself. wish to be under

admirer of sex, but from the point of scientific
observation, when say that the revelation.
of physical, mental and atfectional condition
made by the eye are as remarkable as any
phenomena of nature.

and in love Watch the eyes of such a one

surprise.
RALEIGH, n. c., Nov 16 business is al
most a standstill in this city, because of
the failures at Durham The disaster has
astonished the business community. Only
one concern here appears to have had any
anticipation of the disaster. This was the
Citizens National bank which two weeks
ago withdrew their business from the bank
of Durham, and transferred it TO the First
National bank Uf that place 1t is feared
that business interests in Raleigh may be af.
fected by the failure.
