The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-12-19

Are there any cotton specula-
tors in this country? Do they
make a living by buying up cot
ton and holding it tor a rise
Yes, they make millions by it.
They make it by gambling on
our hard earned products. How?
The following extract from the
National Economist partly ex-
plains it
The spinner does not generally
buy till he needs the cotton to
spin. If tue specularcr can
make money scarce, and there
by reduce prices and compel the
farmer to sell at once, ne will
gain the difference between such
price and what he can iun it up
to by the time the spinner needs
it. If the farmer can hold till
that time he will make that
gain.
The farmer must make his
home supplies, give no mortgage,
do without what he can't pay
for and then he will be boss Of
the situation.

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 17.-The Arabs have de-
stroyed the German missionary station at
Tugu, fifteen miles west of Dar-es-Salem.
A majority of the slaves captured by the
German man-of war Leipzig were lodged at
the station. One missionary succeeded in
escaping from the Arabs, but eight others
were massacred. Three bodies, one of them
that of woman, were found mutilated
IN a barbarous manner. The Arabs
carried off the servants and
slaves at the station. The French mission
ary stations, especially those situated near
Tugu, are in imminent danger.
The Arabs, who ara now joining in the
slave trade, come principally from Kilway
and Lindi, and are richer and more infiu-
entail than Bushiri, and are likely to over
shadow him. These accessions to the ranks
of the slave-traders will have the effect of
reinvigorating the revolt, which would have
died out if the Germans had not retained
BOgamoyo and Dar-es-Salem.

CHICAGO SHYLOCKS.
MOtherless Children Deprived of Bread, Bed
ding and Heat by Heartless Usurers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.--Max Metzger, a young
German machinist, told pitifu1 story to
the police this morning. Last ia1 his wife
fell i'll, and being too poor to hire nurse
he had to leave his work and care for her
himself When she died he had no money
left with which to bury her. He borrowed
$50, giving chattel mortgage on his furni-
ture. After time he was thrown out of
work and was unable to meet the pay
ments on his mortgage. The holder was
lenlent with him and all was well, but this
creditor died short time ago and the mort
gage passed into other hands. Last night,
when he returned from his work, he found
that the holder of the mortgage had broken
into the house and stripped it of every
thing, leaving his three small children
only the protection of the bare walls.
The po lice will endeavor to find the heart
Jess sharks. The way the mortgaged men
cleaned out the, unfortunate Metzger's
rooms was something remarkable. There
was some discussion abont taking the
stoves, beds and table. but finally the Goals
were drawn from the stoves and these were
all taken, leaving the house perfectly bare.
A loaf of bread left by the father for the
children was also taken, and pitcher of
milk left for them spilled ON the floor so the
men could get the pitcher. Then they took
a sick child from the bed and carried away
the furniture, leaving only straw tick
with nothing to cover the suffering child
The intruders thea left, after carefully
searching every closet and nook In the
mouse and taking everything they could
hnd. The little children were frightened SO
that they were afraid to leave the house,
ana they cuddled upon the straw-tick and
shlyered with cold and fear until the father

DAKOTA STATEHOOD.
Action Taken by the Convention Representing
the Southern Portion of the Territory.

HURON, ID. T., Jan. 1.-THE snow storm
that set in early Gu Wednesday morning
delayed the arrival of trains, and in order
to give incoming delegates voice in the
organization, the statehood convention
was not called to order until late yesterday
afternoon. Organization was effected, with
Maj. A. G. Kellum, of Chamberlain, as chair
man, and adjournment was then taken
until s p. NJ. At that hour the convention
reassembled and heard the report of the
resolutions committee, which was adopted
unanimously. The resolutions set forth the
fact that the people of both north and
south Dakota are ready and anxious for
two States; that the people of south Dakota
irrespective OF politics OF party, petition he
present Congress to take measures that will
Immediately admit them into the Union as
a State; hat in the ntthat south Dakota

COMING TO THEIR OWN.
After Many Disappointments and Delays Four
Brothers Viii Divide the Sum of 100000.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-After numerous dis
appointments and long delays the four Fal-
quet brothers, one of whom is resident of
Chicago, are on the point of having divided
among them S30O0OO There is spice of
romance behind this statement. About
thirty-eight years ago Alexander r. Fal-
quet arrived in Cincinnati. His accom-
plishments and reputed wealth opened to
him the doors of the best people. One of
the city's bellies soon fell in love with him.
The young lady's name was Harriet S. Col
Inns. They were married shortly after and
the result of the union was four sons. At
the birth of the youngest child Falquet.
having become enamored of another wom-
an and learning that an inheritance was
coming to him in France, deserted his wife
and sailed for Europe. His wife lost her
reason on account OF her desertion, and
was placed in the Newburgh Insane Asy-
lum near Cleveland. One of the boys went
as an apprentice to section boss on the
Lake Shore road. second was pl aced in
an orphan asylum near Cincinnati; Anoth-
er was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Barwlse,
of Sedamsville, o., and the fourth, Eugene
y. Falquet, now of this city, was taken by
Prof. j. s. Palmer. then of Putin Bay ISL
and, o., but now of Joliet, this State. The
boys were young, the eldest being, nine
years, and it was only a short time before
was in 1856, and it was not until
thirty years later that three of the brothers
were brought together. The meeting was
accomplished through an advertisement.
The fourth brother was living in Berne,
Switzerland. The boys who remained in
this country did fairly we'll, and one of
them, Harry, is the present superintendent
of the Brush electric-light works in Gin
cinnati. Charles is a trusted employe of
the Carbon Electric Company, of Fremont,
o., and Eugene, the resident of Chicago, is
one of the best statesmen in the wholesale
estate TO which the boys will succeed was
formerly unimproved property on the out
skirts of London, England. 1t was con-
verted into money by the crown, the then
owner, Caroline Grove leaving no will
and no known heirs. Before the English
statute of limitations ran against the re,
cOvery of any part of she estate by any of
the heirs, it was discovered that Caroline
Grove was a granddaughter of one Mark
ThOrmaquay and q daughter of one of the
Falquets. The discovery interested Hugh
Pugh, of Cincinnati, who had learned
something of the American family of thai
name, and after a short time he was able
to show that the members of it were in
|. reality the rightful heirs of the Grove
estate. In the meantime two brothers.
claiming to be the descendants of one of
the daughters of ThOrmaquay, nearly estab-
lished a claim to the property. On the trial
however, the case went against them. This
and the higher court has just sustained the
decision of the lower. As the estate is in
cash, there can be but short delay before
the heirs get their share.

THE GEFFICKEN MATTER.

1t Continues to BE Source of Trouble to
Various Persons in Germany and England.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE retirement of Min
lister Friedberg is traced to the appearance
of his name in papers seized in connection
with the Geficken case. 1t is reported that
DR.. Simson will resign the presidency of
the Leipsic court for the same reason.
The Vossische Zeitung, referring to the
publication of the Geficken Indictment,
says: 1--WE protest against the public be-
ing invited to deliver verdict on the ac-
cusation alone, after the highest court in
the empire has delivered Judgment. We
cannot recollect any previous instance, in
Germany or any other country, of trial of
the kind being conducted before the bar of
public opinion, in an official form, by
means of legal documents" The foregoing
article reflects the general opinion of the
Liberal press.
The Post says that the time will come
when, on account of the Leipsic decision,
the Conservatives and many others will
vidual court, but against the whole ten
dency of German criminal law, legislation
and practice.
The Liberal press unanimously admit
that Professor Gefficken was guilty of a
grievOuS breach of confidence in publishing
"
knowing that the Empress would refuse 10
sanction such course had she been asked
to do So. The statement that Emperor
Frederick's proclamation was prepared by
Gefficken in 1885 also creates a bad impress
sion. The result is that journals of both
sides endeavor to disclaim Gefficken's
course.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Pail Mall Gazette,
commenting upon the Gefficken affair,
says: THE animus of Prince Bismarck
against Professor Gefficken is of long stand
ing. Ten years ago, at a social meeting
after dinner, Professor Gefieken delivered
an extravagant diatribe, declaring that
Bismarck had not one single noble trait OF
character, and was without trace OF
kindliness or pity. These words, in accord
ance with the system of espionage prac
ticed by Germany, were reported to the
Reptile Bureau" at Berlin, and noted
down in Bismarck's black book The
whole affair recalls the story of Haman ant
MOrdecai. The German Haman seeks tC
gibbet his Mordecai by publishing the in
dictment, the only result being to justify
Gefficken in the eyes of the worldv

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Delaney Completes His Story of the Inyinci-
bles and the Phoenix Park Murders.

Delaney Completes His Story of the Inyinci-
bles and the Phoenix Park Murders.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE ecross-examination
of Patrick Delaney was resumed before the
Parnell commission to-day. The witness
persisted in declaring that he saw Boyton
point out to Invincible Brady the chairman
nation. On cross-examination by Michael
Davitt, Delaney said he was positive that
he had often seen Davitt in company with
Dan. Curley. although he could not fix the
dates. When re-examined with reference
to the funds of the Fenians, he stated that
until 1879 the party was without money
other than the few pence weekly subscribed
by members. Some pawned their watches
TO send delegates to America. Carey, after
the Invincibles were organized, obtained
funds from the league and started his
business as a contractor. Being shown the
photograph of a man in uniform, the wit
ness declared that it was 1nyincible No. /.
At the close of the examination Justice
Hammer ordered that Delaney be held in
custody in London in case he should be
wanted again.
Attorney general Webster then read cor
respondence between Matt Harris and
Michael Davitt. with reference to the land
agitation. The only letter that attracted III
terest was one from Davitt to Harris. writ
ten in New York, i'll which Dewitt said:
Perhaps yOu are not aware that John
O'Leary is here. He came from Paris to
upset my Land League endeavors. He will
go back wiser, though sadder man. He is
supported by nobody. saving the few Bost-
hoons following that blatant ass. Rossa
The NatiOnalists on this side are common
sense men. O'Leary failed to get up a
crusade against the League in America
and Rossa is now trying his hand. He will
achieve more success upon your side than
upon this. He is cOwardly, low ruffian,
who has not the courage to resent an insult
offered him i'll the Herald. He has not
sufficient courage TO set fire to q British
haystack. Do your utmost to keep the
people within bounds"
Justice Hannen asked if the letters of
Mr.. Parnell would be shown TO the Parnell-
ite counsel, as the court seemed to be
within reasonable distance of getting at
them.
Attorney-general Webster refused to be
pinned TO definite time for the production
of the letters.
Justice Hannen then expressed the
opinion that both sides should show the let
ters in their possession intended to be
used for comparison.

UTAH'S CLAIMS.
Delegate Caine Urges Admission to tho
Union, and Delegate Dubois Objects.

Delegate Caine Urges Admission to tho
Union, and Delegate Dubois Objects.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE hearing OF
the claims of Utah to be admitted as q
State of the Union was continued by the
House committee on Territories to-day. Del
egate Caine, of Utah, who begun his argu-
ment in favor of admission yesterday ,contin-
ued to-day. The attempt, he said, to create
the belief that priestly influence would
dominate the State, that the Mormon peo-
pie were subjected to an ecclesiastical ty-
ranny, was part of the shrewdly devised
scheme and organized effort to accomplish
the overthrow of the majority and the ele-
walton to power of the minority. The doc
trines of the church proclaimed and insist
ed upon the diassociation of the civil and
ecclesiastical powers There was nowhere
to be found a body of people who were so
generally intelligent and informed, whose
natural tendency was independence of
thought. He took up the published state
ments of Governor West, and said he hoped
the committee would not telieve such
twadGle, as he termed It. Continuing, he
said, what right had any one to apply a re-
Ggious test to the people of Territory
seeking the privileges of statehood, TO
which they were entitled. They were
American clTlZcnS Oh the Onlttu CtdItS,
had presented constitution republican in
form, prohibiting poly gamy and providing
penalties against transgressors of the fun
damental law, and making a union of
church and State impossible. In
conclusion, he said the people
of Utah were entitled 10 ali the
rights, privileges and immunities of citi-
zens of the United States and were In num-
bers equal to the ratio of representation in
the House of Representatives, and when
they came with a constitution republican
in form they had complied with the only
constitutional requirement..
Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, then ad-
dressed the committee In opposition TO adj
mission He said that statements had been
made calculated TO mislead in regard to
the sentiments of the committees adjacent
to Utah, and, in compliance with the
wishes of his own Territory, he desired to
address the committee. There were about
IL. ZOO Mormons in Idaho, and there was ne
difference between them and thosein Utah.
He dwelt on the difficulty in securing Q
conviction of NIormons who practiced po-
lygamy in thaw part of the Territory of
Idaho in which the Mormons were settled.
He said that in his judgement one-third of
the adult Mormens in Idaho maintained po-
lygamic relations. He submitted few re-
marks in re egard 10 the civil power of the
church. He said his Territory was very
much concerned IN the fate of Utah. State
hood for Utah would mean polygamy firmly
intrenched. In conclusion. he presented .

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
A South Carolina Paper Voices the Feeling
Favoring the Shotgun Method

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 17.-In comment
ing on the recent address issued by 4. NJ.
Bravdon, chairman of the Republican State
committee, the Greenville News yesterday
said:
lector Braytons counterblast to the South
Carolina election law. We prefer to declare
boldly that most of what he says is true,
and that the law he describes was and is
intended to keep the control of this State
with the white people, who are a minority
in number, but who pay nineteen -twenti-
eths of the taxes, and represent ninety
nine-one-hundredths of the intelligence and
moral force.
"Then we can say to Mr. Brayton and to
the partisan Republican politicians to
whom he appeals What are you going to
do about itp
These laws are constitutional They are
the laws of the State of South Carolina,
representing the will of the sovereign rul-
ing people of the State, who rule because
they have the mental, moral, physical and
financial power to rule. The entire Repub-
lican party in the United States, with all
cannot make South Carolina Republican
State, because it cannot make the Repub-
lican party here respectable. The gaunt
and unkempt Southerner who pokes shot
gun into a voters face to chase him from
the polls is better man than the sleek,
portly Northern manufacturer who offers
poor devil of workman the choice between
voting for high protection and starvation.
The most reckless red-shirt riders who
ever pulled a trigger are less guilty than
the wealthy hypocrites who gave and the
heelers who handled the money that cor
rupted the ballot last November. They
may send troops here as they did before to
stand at our polls and purify the ballot
be no more stealing South Carolina. The
crookedness in Southern elections is to
| save the credit and preserve the lives of the
State, and TO secure the safety and pros
perity of the people. the churches and the
schools. They may steal our Congressman,
and keep them while they can; they may
steal our electors, but they never will steal
