Suffering in Eastern N. @.
From the WILSON Aduance. |

From the WILSON Aduance
The condition of the farmers and
business men in eastern North Caro-
lima is worse than we have ever
known. The farmers all over the
east have made almost failures in their
crops, and as a natural consequence
every class of business men are sadly
injured. There are remarkably few
farmers who will be able to pay their
debts, while the merchants who have
trusted them dave collected very little
and consequently are cramped. We
have seldom seen as many failures
chronicled in the papers.

Sheriff Tunnell, of Hyde county
has resigned. He says the people are
not able to pay their taxes, and as he
is unwilling to push them, he re
signed.
From the State Chroaiclcl
This is distressing news to receive
from the good old county of Hyde
In most sections of the east the people
have made poor crops for severa
years in succession, and this year it il
SO short as to bring privation and sui
fering with it.

Alamance Ahead.
From the Aiamance Gleone-.

Capt. B. F. White has horse that
eats young chickens, feathers and all,
and he had an old gander that would
take stick and knock against the
buttom of the corn crib to make loose
grains fall through the cracks, and an
old turkey gobler that exercised a
fatherly care over young partridge.
These are rather remarkable things
but the captain vouches for their truth
tulness.

The Suicide at Thomasville.
[ From tie HiqA Point E,ferpr.se.1 ]


Last week we published a report
that Miss Westmoreland had COM
mitted suicide Dy hanging herself near
Thomasville. Further particulars
confirm the report and show that a
love affair was the cause of the deed.
She was in love with q young man, but
on account other youthfulness was in
formed that she must first reach the
age of twenty before she married, and
further that the young man would not
be allowed to call again. She said
that she could not stand this, Thurs
day night the young man wrote FER a
note to 60 to church, but her parents
objected. She then went out into the
yard, and after procuring rope got
up on fence, put the rope over ce
dar, and after adjusting one end of it
around her neck, eased of. She was
found soon after, but life was extinct
She was buried Mon day.

WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO.
Interesting Account of the Great Ques-
tions to be Settled.
{ From the National Democrat.]


From the National Democrat
First of all will come the question
of the rules cf the House of Repre-
sentatives, and the attempt which is
boldly announced to seat a dozen or
more Republican contestants from the
South and elsewhere. These addition
al Republican votes are needed to Sc
cure what is known as ga working ma
jority" in the House. and good deal
of time is likely to be consumed in
the effort to secure them. The Dem
ocratic minority i'll the House is strong
ard determined, and determined to
maintain its rights, and high handed
political methods on the part of the
leaders of the majority will be met
with sturdy and unfinching oppo-
sition.
When we come to consider the sub
jects which will come up for action we
find uppermost the tariff, subsidies for
foreign steamship lines, a national
election law, an enlargement of the
supply of silver money, some pension
legislation and the Blair educational
bill. If there has been any prospect
that the so called revision scheme pro-
posed by the high tariff advocates on
the Republican side could be pushed
through congress this winter, it was
destroyed by the recent state elections
The truth is that the Republican par
ty has no suitable plan of action on
the tariff, and it does not now seem
possible for it to have any. Equally
poor are the chances of legislation for
steamship subsidies and a national
election law. Those might be readily
carried through the Senate, but there
are enough Republicans committed
against them in the House to render
it very improbable that anything can
be accomplished there. The matter
of silver money is not likely to be q
party question, nor will the Blair bill
be one. To the latter measure there
is growing opposition in both parties
which is likely to further increase
with the lapse of time. Finally, with
regard to pensions, we think it safe tc
say that the Republicans will not sue
coed i'll gaining any party advantage
by anything they may undertake tc
do for the veteran soldiers. The Dem
ocrats in Congress have never beer
hostile or illiberal in their action il
| providing for the old soldiers, ano
they will not change their course or
this question.

Our Minister to GERMANY Dead.
From the Wilmington Messenger. ]

In the death of Hon. George II.
Pendleton, late Minister to Germany,
which occurred on Sunday last, at
Brussels, polished, able, experienced
Democrat was lost to his country and
party. He was man of genuine abil-
ity and high character. He used to be
known, when in the q. S. Senate, as
gentleman George" This term would
he sadly misused ie applied to some
Senators. He was great Civil Ser
vice reformer and was in fact the
father of the present law in so far as
the chief features are concerned. It
Is something of q humbug, but that
was not the character of the excellent
and able gentleman who started it.
He was from Ohio.

The Lord Made a Mistake.
From the Neu Orleans State. I

President Harrison had better lose
no time in getting all his relations and
friends in Office while he has the
chance, because after the expiration of
his present term he will never have
another opportunity to favor them.
According to his own explanation of
his election to the Presidency, "the
Lord did it," but within the past year
the Lord has seen quite enough of his
administ ration and will not do it again.

THE HARP.

In strong tower that fronts stormy sea,
An ancient monarch placed harp Of gold.
Whereon the winds, than Orpheus of old
Played sweeter strains of tangled melody.
But when the winds were hushed, as silently
Unfurled the lurid storm-clouds, fold by fold
The pulsing air, while surf and thunder
rolled,
Along the strings breathed infinite harmony.
There is harp with soft ;eolian strings
Deep In the soul, and when the thunder breaks
Through wrathful clouds or round the dyi ng
day
The minstrel sea its endless anthem sings
Along those whispering chords murmur
+ wakes,
And like far spent echo, dies away.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-The Dem

of Kentucky, suggested the appointment
of committee OF three members with
powers corresponding to those of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, from whose decis-
ion an appeal might be taken to the COM
mittee Of fifteen, which in turn might
call the caucus together. Crane, Of
Texas, moved az further substitute the

nents, and call caucus when necessary.
Finally all motions were laid aside and

Ranks Offering Bonds.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-Secretary
Window today received letters from
three national bank repositories in re-
sponse to his notice of the withdrawal of
10 per cent. of their deposits January
18th. One bank surrendered the entire
amount on deposit and offered to sell the
Government 100000 of four-per-cent.
bonds at 1917 Another offered to cell
1000 at the same figure. Both offers
were accepted. The third bank waived
the 10 per cent. privilege and declared
it's intention to sell the Government it's
$4,000 security bonds at the prevailing
rates. The Treasury officials think this
prompt action is probably due to the fact
that there will be reduction OF per
cent. in the premium on four per cents
after tie Let of January.

G physician with them to look after
Adams's health, arrived at Navajo

Santa Fe read, a few days ago, and after

that the lost mines are about 1926 miles
south of Gallup, and the Californians are
accompanying him with view of ascer-
tanning the truthfulness of the story. He
claims to have discovered twenty years
ago, near the Arizona and New Mexico
line, placer beds of fabulous value, but

UNCLE SAM,S EXPENSES.
Estimates of Public Expenditure
for $50 and ,91.

for $50 and ,91.
WASHINGTON, December 3.-The clerks
of the Committees on Appropriations of
the Senate and House have prepared
comparative statements of the estimates
of appropriations and expenditures for
the maintenance of the Government for
the fiscal years 80 and '91, from which it
appears that the net increase of the esti-
mates for 81 over those for the current
year, is $40, 1867 ,168, and net increase of
appropriations for this year, of $3S, ,092,-
112. The total estimates of regular and
permanent annual appropriations for the
next fiscal year are $406, ,943, ,315, while
the total revenues are estimated at $780,
Ala 1897, showing an excess of the esti-
mated revenues over the estimated ap.
propriations for next year, of SAB ,571 ,022
The net surplus for the present year
is placed at $53,532,51l. or
9,961 ,489 more than the estimated sur
plus for the next fiscal year. This pros
psctive decrease in the surplus is stated
to be without reference to the possibility
of the enactment Of the River and Har.
Dor bill, for, in the estimates submitted
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, there is
notable omission of the ordinary pro.
vision for river and harbor improve
ments. For the preservation of existing
works the sum Of $237 900 is asked,
while She report Of the chief engineers
says $3s, ,532, $50 can be proftably ex-
pended next year in these improve
ments.
The statement above quoted differs
materially from that prepared by the
Treasury Department and exhibited in
the book OF estimates issued, for tsie
reason that postal receipts and reyenues
are differently treated by tie Treasury
and Appropriation Com mittees.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, December ga WASH
ington special to the Examine, says
The subject of the establishment OF a
quarantine station at San Diego has been
the cause of much anxiety and trouble
to Surgeon General Hamilton. 1t was
generally understood when the appro-
priation was made that site for its
location was to be selected upon the
Point Iona Government reservation. A
report was made by board appointed
for that purpose, but met with the Sec.
retary's disapproval. Subsequently it
was intimated unoficially that there
would be no objection to a site
further down the peninsula. Sur
veys we're made upon this assumption,
but objection was again raised, and
finally the Secretary has returned the
papers to the Surgeon General, with the
suggestion that an artificial stand be
made ON the shoals. This will necessi-
tate All increase in the appropriation and
long delay. The War Department
seems to favor the Iona reservation, as
it favors General Milss's proposition to
erect the main military post for the South
west on San Diego bay, and recommends
tions to that end will be made.

mountain when the robber appeared
in the road and ordered the
driver to stop and throw out
the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express
box and the United States mail, at the
same time covering him with revolver.
While the highwayman was rifling the
mail and express packages, team was
noticed coming down the mountain. He
then compelled the stage driver to pro-
seed until he met the team when he
stopped them both and completed his
work of overhauling the mail and ex.
press. Both were ordered to drive on
and the robber escaped. The amount of
the treasure secured is not known.

He Had Tried If.

On Burrard inlet, in British Columbia dweus logging camp boss, known far ant wide by the name of Lev. He is hunter o some importance, and rife shot of more than ordinary skill. One rainy day Lev tool his gun and sallied forth for deer hunt, bu, was overtaken by darkness while long way from camp, and forced to remain in the woods all night. On searching his pockets he found he was without matches. The logging crew blew horns, fired guns, etc., to guide him home, but without avail. Morning returned and Lev made his way home just as the crew were turning out for breakfast. Hungry, wet and tired, he sat down in front of the big camp fire, rested his face on his hands, his hands on his knees, looked vacantly at the blaze, and for about ten minutes appeared losi in contemplation. He then spoke: "Boys, did you ever hear of Q person making a fire by rubbing two sticks togethera" ''Oh, yes,' replied several; "easy enough to do. Com. mon thing" etc. Lev waited patiently till they all got through, and then exclaimed "It may be easy enough to do, and, perhaps, has been done, but I'll be eaten alive if any. body ever did it in one night. ."-San Fran. cisco Argonaut
