YESTERDAYS CONVENTION.

Ihe convention held in this CITY YES
terday represented the best element Of
our colored population in North Caro-
INA, and was body of men that reflect
ed credit on the race. Such gather
ing showed that real progress in educa-
tlon and knowledge had been made by
the negro in North Carolina in the past
decade. 1t showed also spirit of in
dependence of political bosses and a de-
termination to think for themselves, and
to act without dictation from the Office
holders whose "Republcanism is Office
deep and dollar wide"
They acted as Republicans, but de-
clared that unless recognized in the dis
trlbution OF the official patronage, they
would drive out the handful of white
men who monopolize most of the offices.
There was no expression that they would
leave the Republican party. "We are
the party" was the expressed shibbo-
10th, and 1--WE will have" they said, "a
fair distribution and equal treatment,
or we will crowd out the few white men
who take all the good plums for them
selves" That was the evident determi
nation of the convention, composed Of
the best class of the negroes in the State
Will they do what they say? 1t is
generally believed that their talk of in
dependence will end in talk. The &C
tions of the convention, and the charac
ter of most of the negroes who compos
ed the body, forbid us to believe tina
they will sell out. In their independence
in their education, and in their moralit
are to be found the salvation of the race
They spoke strongly for these thing
yesterday. Will they be true to thei
professions9 We shall see.

In his speech Mr.. Mills did not con

had been attempted since the war, and
declared that it is measure devised by
decaying political party to assure them
Of continued control by suppressing q

ENGLISH ON THE BUY.
They Now Want the Chicago Stock
Yards.

CHICAGO. May PA sale of the
Union stockyards, the negotiations in
which are said to have been interrupted
by premature exposure some weeks
ago, is reported to-day to be again upon
the eve of consummation. The pur-
chaser, as before, is an English synddi-
cate. Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston.
and the Vanderbilts, who hold the ma
iori.y of the stock in the East,
are said to have consented to part
with their holdings for $50 cents
on the dollar. 1t is further stated that
Russell II. Monro, special agent, laid
the offer before the City of London Con-
tract corporation, by whom it was ac-
cepted. The exact extent of the capital
stock which may thus pass into the pos
session of the Englishmen is not as
certainable, but it is understood to be a
majority of the company's total capital.
Nelson Morris, Chicagoan, who holds
a large amount, admitted the truth Of
the current reports tonight, but added ::
1.-The sale has not been consum-
mated"
Mr.. P. D. Armour said: "I under
stand purchase price has been agreed
upon"
No money has yet been paid by the
Englishmen, 1t is stated, they expecting
within few days to gather in enough
Western stockholders to secure firmer
control of the yards than could be
assumed on a bare majority of the
capital stock. There are holders on the
other hand who are believed to be hold.

Peter Schroeder Makes a Plain
Statement of His Case.
To the Editor of the Globe.
PERHAM, Minn., May 20.-In regard
to the sensational statement that ap-
peared in last Sundays issue, namely:
inlay Go to Saltwater" would say
your Fergus Falls correspondent has
done me great injustice by causing
such an untruth to be published. The
truth of the matter is l was indicted
by the grand jury this term of court
for selling beer in one-quarter Darrell
packages in the village of Henning,
Mimi, no license town, where l
have an ice house, and employ man to
nv beer. This was test case
and | have not yet received my SEN
tence, therefore it is a conundrum to
me where your correspondent get his
information. However, l shall take
particular pains to find out. Among
other things he stated that l was
brought to the city OF Fergus Falls on a
bench warrant. In reply l would say
their was no warrant issued to my
knowledge l received telegram from
Sheriff Brandenburg requesting me to
be in Fergus Falls OH the 10th inst,
and complied with his wishes. There
was nothing done as yet in regard to
the Saltwater affair your correspondent
raves about, and perhaps it would have
been just as well for him to have
waited with his special until after had
received my sentence. In justice to my
self you will please have the kindness
to cause this letter to be published
through the columns of your paper and
ask other papers to please copy. Re-
spectfully yours.

STABBED THE HUSBAND.
Fiendish Deed of a Philadelphia
sMasher."

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-At an early
hour this morning, Mrs. John McPher-
son, living on Washington avenue, who,
in company with her sister, had ac-
companied a young girl visitor to her
home, a few blocks distant, was ac-
costed on the street by an unknown
man, who made insulting remarks.
Mrs. MCPHERSON, very much frightened.
reached her home in half fainting
condition and informed her husband of
what had taken place. The man had
followed the woman to within a few
doors of home, and Mcpherson rushed
out and engaged in an alteration with
the insulter of his wife, who, drawing
knife from his pocket, stabbed the bus
band in the neck. A second lunge
severed an ear from his head. McPhel-
son fell unconscious to the pavement,
and the asSailant made his escape.
The wounded man was taken to the
hospital, where tonight he is ST. TO be
in a critical condition and not expected
to live. The police suspected a beer
wagon driver named Albert Gwinner,
living near the Mcpherson home.
Gwinner was arrested, but on streu-
ously denying his guilt was released.
The police, assisted by clever detective
work, succeeded in fastening the crime
on him, and tonight he confessed that
he did the cutting.

the fact that wheat is in much better

of incalculable benefit, and the farmers
are more hopeful than ever. The ground

An Enemy of the State.

Whatever may be the emperor's irri-
tation, it has not caused a rupture with
Prince Bismarck. Imperior Court Chan
cellor Liebenau is about to visit Fried
richsrhue, and other persons intimately
connected with the emperor's circle also
communicate with the prince. The
king of Wurtemburg has just sent 1000
marks and the duke Of Saxe-Altenburg
500 marks to the national Bismarck
memorial fund. The national lib
eral members of the reichstag
and landtag, while banqueting
together, telegraphed Il salu-
tation to Friedrichsruhe. The emperor
sent letter to Field Marshal Count
Won Moltke. warmly congratulating
him upon his recent speech in the
reichstag in favor of the arms bill. in
his letter the emperor says that Won
Moltke has ever looked to the service OF
the Fatherland and cared increasingly
for the interests of the army. The re-
cepton the speech met with abroad
showed its importance. The North
German Gazette says it doubts that
Chancellor Won Caprivi will accompany
the emperor to Russia; a decision, 1t
says, has not yet been arrived at.
Prince William, of SaXe-W eimar, has
been declared bankrupt. His debts.
