New Phase of the Louisiana Lottery.
From the Baltimore Sun. !

Instead of passing the Lottery bill
over the Governors veto, the Louisi-
ana Senate adopted a report declar-
ing that he had exceeded his power in
vetoing measure proposing an
amendment to the constitution. The
House yesterday adopted the Senate's
report as the expression of its own po-
sition on the subject, thus practically
ignoring the veto. The courts will
probably be called on to decide the
question at issue-whether the Gov
ernor's veto was within his authority.
Ifhe had no power to veto the bill..sit
is legal enactment without further
action on the part OF the Legislature,
and will be submitted at the next
election to the people in the form of a
proposed amendment to the State con-
stitution. But if the courts should
hold that he had a right to veto it, the
lottery people will be in a predica-
ment, if such decision should come
after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture, the Senate not having passed the
bill over the veto. In that case, it is
10 be presumed, the Governor would
not trouble himself to call an extra
session for the benefit Of the lottery
people. tits said, however, that some
of the best lawyers in Louisiana doubt
the Governors right of veto in a case
like that under consideration.

How Grady Got an Advertisement.
Rome { Ga.) Tribunal

Years ago, when Henry Grady was
struggling to bring the Rome COM
mercial into front ranks, he-called one
day and asked the Rounsaville Bros.
for an advertisement. j. w. Rounsa-
vile replied: "Why, Mr.. Grady, no.
body reads your paper; it is of no use
to advertise in it A happy thought
suggested itself to Mr.. Grady. He
went to his office and wrote the fol-
lowing advertisement, which appeared
next morning in the Commercial:
yIIANTED-FIFTY CATS. Liberal price for
w the same. Apply to RouHsA' LILLE Bros.
Well, the picture that presented
itself at Rounsaville's corner next
morning beggars description. Boys of
all ages and sizes-boys of all tints,
from the fair haired youth to the sa-
BILE Ethiopian-barefoot boys and
ragged boys-red-headed boys, ,freckle.
faced boys-town boys and country
boys boys from all parts of Floyd
county, blocked up the sidewalk, door
ways and street with bags full of cats
cats of every description, name and
order-house cats, yard cats-barn
cats, church cats-fat cats and lean
cats-honest cats and thievish cats.
Well, to make long story short, the
Rounsavilles told Mr.. Grady to re-
serve a column for their advertisement
as long as his paper continued.

The Force Bill in the Senate.
Fridays Baltimore Sun. /

The statement in the Suns Wash
ington dispatches that the federal
elections bill is not regarded by Re-
publican.Senators as a very urgent or
judicious party measure is being reit-
Grated in other quarters, and it is con-
fidently asserted that the Democratic
Senators will be asked to abstain from
a protracted discussion of the tariff
bill in consideration of the postpone
ment of the elections measure until
next winter, when cooler weather may
perhaps bring about a more temperate
and wholesome state of mind on the
part ofthe majority in Congress. The
Republican Senators are anxious to
pass their tariff bill, and there is no
prospect of doing, this without pro-
longed .debSte pnless they pigeon hole
the force bill. It is even stated that q
formal agreement has been entered
into between the Democrats and Re.
publicans in the Senate for shelving
the force ebills~until next winter, but
this is dsnied by Senator Gorman, aud
as the .truculent Mr.. Hoar has ap-
peared on the scene it may be that
the force bill will be pressed to the
front in order. as Mr.. Hoar says, that
lit may he made Z campaign issue next
fall.

The Way They Treat Negroes in Arkansas
[Raleigh Dispatch to ". T. Herald.]

[Raleigh Dispatch to ~ r. Herald1
William Hill ard party of negro
"exodusters," who left New Hanover
county for Arkansas, have just return
ed. They make affidavit to their
treatment there and their story is a
horrible one.
There were six hundred in the party
and all had been promised good
wages. They were virtually sold to a
labor contractor, who, when he was
notified by the poor negroes that they
could not work for fifty cents a day,
said that was all he would give.
He seized all their personal effects.
Some families we're put in horse sta
bles and others in old outhouses, while
some had to remain on the banks of
the river without shelter. All were
guarded like criminals, and revolvers
were drawn on them to force them to
terms.
They were within twelve miles of
louisiana, and were unable to get on
the steamer without pass. They got
away and went to another point,
where they we're halted by men arm
ed and mounted, who demanded
where they were going, and by whose
authority.
The last sale of these people was
made in Louisiana by man named
Williams, who sold six hundred of
them for $4,000.

POPULAR WITH ALL CLASSES.
From Ms Charlotte Chronicle.
From all accounts, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Fifth
district is an exceptionally strong
man. popular with all classes alike
The convention was large, aud the en-
thusiasm great.
The Fifth district is now represent
ed by Brewer. Republican. and the
Democracy "f the district ought To
put forth every effort to return a
Democrat this year With strong
cause, a strong organization, aud a
strong candidate, with which to con-
front the Republican candidate and
the offensive record of his party within
the past year, Democratic victory

Capt. Jake Fisher Gets Setback.
IC,r. State Groaicle.l

SALISBURY, N. c.. July 4.-In last
Wednesdays Salisbury Herald Capt
j. A. Fisher, a prominent IA -mer and
president of the Rowan county AIH-
ance, declared himself candidate for
sheriff, subject only to the action of
the voters at the ballot box, aud in
bis card took occasion to allnde to
what he was plased to term township
and county bosses"
The Captain probably thought that
because of his prominence in the AL
iiance, together with the anti Demo-
Gratis. he could sail smoothly and sue
cessfully into this desirable office; but
if the action of the Alliance today
means anything, it means that "no in
dependents need apply"
The largest Alliance meeting ever
held in the county was held in the
court house here today. Over hun
dred delegates were presents and many
others WHO we're not delegates came
to look on.
Capt. Fisher, the new go-as you
please candidate, Was present and pre-
sided with more than his usual digni-
ty. 1t was a regular meeting and
officers were to be elected for the en-
suing year. The Captain was a can
didate for re election to the presiden-
cy, but when the votes were counted,
out of nearly one hundred he received
the great number of FIVE, the exact
number of Republicans present, so I
am told. His percentage at the polls
will be about the same. This is the way
the Rowan County Alliance indorse
independent candidates. The Captain
is a wiser if not happier man.
