RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 18.-The Supreme
Court has filed an opinion in an import
ant and novel case. A $4,000 damage
suit was brought by J, 7. Young, of
Craven county against the Western
Union Telegraph Company. =.
Last year Young's wife was taken i'll
in Greenville, S. c. A telegram was sent
to the husband to come on. He did not
get the message until six days later, and
in the meantime Mrs. Young had died
and been buried, Young not knowing of
either fact until all was over. Young
obtained damages in the Superior Court,
but the Western Union took the matter
to the Supreme Court, which sustains the
finding of the lower court.

COME AND GoNE.-The Annual State
Fair of 1890, has como and gone and left
behind it many reminders. That it was
great success, no one denies. In fact,
it has come up and even beyond the high
est expectations. 1t is due to candor, to
state that the exhibits were not as
numerous as on some former occasions
but they were fair average. So far as
the attendance of people is concerned, we
must think the record was splendid. 1t
is source of much qualification to note
that the week has passed off without the
slightest accident of any kind to mar the
occasion. Although our city was throng-
ed with people representing almost every
sphere of life, the utmost good order pre-
vailed -Raleiqh Visitor.

CAPT sgd. B. ALEXANDER addressed
the citizens of Wilmington on Monday
night last. From the Messengers report
of the speech we publish few extracts:
"Capt Alexander briefly thanked Col.
Currie for his fattering introduction, and
stated that he would not indulge in much
talk but being of practical turn Of mind
he desired to briefly discuss the practical
issues of the day. He first said he de
sired to make an explanation about the
Farmers Alliance and his connection
with it. The Alliance is misunderstood
by a great many, even by some of the
farmers themselves. Its principles were
erroneousIy conceived to be country
against town people and lawyers. There
was nothing, he declared, to warrant
such an inference. Most Of the lawyers
in our towns were from the country, and
were the farmers kith and kin, and it
was nonsense to array them against each
other. On the contrary the Farmers
Alliance was in existence because Of
inimical legislation by the party in pow
er. The Alliance is not party. 1t is
non-partisan, and it's members can be
Dem ocrats, Republicans, Prohibitionists
or what not. Its object is to educate the
agricultural classes and to elevate them.
They need to be educated so they can
grasp the needs of our government. These
needs, he declared, were best represented
by the Democratic party and he believed
the hope Of the country lies in that party.
(Applause). He declared, furthermore,
that he was as true an Allianceman as
walks the soil of North Carolina, and that
he was at the same time as true Demo-
crat as walks the soil of North Carolina.
(Applause).
The Force bill now pending in Con
Congress, Capt. Alexander denounced as
one the most dangerous measures ever
sprung on this country. 1t threatens
the liberties of the people, and strikes at
local self>government When this is
gone, the government will be concentra
ted forever at Washington and we would
be ruled in all thing there. The only
hope Of the country is to elect a Demo
cratic Congress, (appIause,) and if the
people are only educated they will look
only to the Democratic party to save the
country. (Applause.)
Capt. Alexander spoke almost an hour,
and made fine impression. His audience
was composed of leading, thinking cti-
zens, and numbers of them congratulated
Capt. Alexander when he concluded"

making it cost the American consumer
80 cents for it. Now the tax is 125 per

unjust. The price now to be paid on 20
