THE SENTINEL takes no stock in
the rumor that the Alliance members
Of the legislature will support Polk
for Senator, against Vance. In the
first place. we do not believe Col.
Polk is candidate in any sense. We
do not believe he would allow his
name to he pressed, under the circum-
stances. In the second place, the Leg
islators from all Of the counties, except
two or three. are pledged to Vance
and We are certain that the average
North Carolina legislator is too hon.

Cured by Cuticura

For about thirteen years I have been troubled
with eczema some other cutaneous disease which
all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, l resolved to give them trial.
l followed the directions carefully. and it affords
me much pleasure to say that before using two
boxes Of the CT rICCRA, four cakes of CUTICURA
SOAP, and one bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT, /
entirely cured. In addition to my case,
my baby boy, then about five months old, was
suffering with what | supposed to be the same
disease mine, 20 such extent that his head
coated with solid scab, frem which

kernels the back of his head. Thanks to your
wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES, his scalp is per.

Of cases of scrofua and other blood diseases are
hereditary, and therefore iffi,ult to cure. But
we wish to state in the most positive, emphatic
manner that Hoods Sarsaparilla does cure
scrofula in every form. The most severe cases
too terrible for description, have yielded to this
medicine when all others failed. If you suffer
from impure blood in any way, take Hoods

FURTHER EVIDENCE CONCERNING
SOLICITOR SETTLES TRICK.

In the exposure of the methods
used in Mr.. Settles election as Solici-
tor of this Judicial district, The SEN
TINEL last week did not charge Mr.
Settle with aiding in the fraud, but
stated that the presumption was that
be did 50 and that the trick was play
ed with his full knowledge and con-
sent. This presumption seems to be
correct, as the following letter from a
gentleman who is we'll known for his
high social and moral standing, goes
to prove:
SIMPSON STORE, Rockingham
County, Nov. 18th, 1890.
EDITOR SENTrNEL:-Speakipg of
the Settle steal l have evidence that
at his former election Mr.. Settle "did
know of the plan" and was aiding it
at New Bethel precinct IN Rocking
ham county. personally; and is thought
to have placed Democratic tickets
with Settles name on them by the
side of the judicial box himself. The
same thing was done again in Rock
insham this year and it was near noon
at New Bethel precinct before it was
found out. A man who resorts to
such tricks ought not to say much
about unfair elections and is clearly
unfit to hold any Office in the gift of
the people; because he holds an Office
that the people have not given him
and have never intended to give him.
The relatives Of Thos Settle in Rock
ingham county ought to have seen to
it that this trick was not repeated this
wear, as the odium If it falls on them
some of them stand high III the Dem
ucratic councils.
Yours,
In addition to this testimony, we are
informed by a young friend of Mr..
Settle that he received package of
the bogus tickets and is reasonably
sure that Mr.. Settle sent them, hoping
he would use them.
Another fact which must be taken
into consideration is that these bogus
tickets we're distributed in the western
counties by Mr.. B. G. Sharpe, young
lawyer of Greensboro, who is broth
erin law to Mr.. Settle.
These facts, taken together, show
plainly that Mr.. Settle knew of these
tickets and consented to their use.
THE SENTINEL does not deny that
any candidate has right to have his
name printed on the ticket of the op-
posite party, but when these tickets
are put into the hands Of unsuspecting
and ignorant voters and palmed off by
his friends as straight ticket, then we
say that it is downright fraud and
the man who resorts to such methods
to obtain all Office is unworthy to hold
it.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
law which fits this case Ii there
were, MIR. Settle would certainly be
arraigned for trial. But, though
there be no legal statute, there is the
great bar Of public opinion before
which Mr. Settle is now arraigned.
The people are always honest. They
love fair play, and, if ever gwen
an opportunity again, the verdict
which they ought and will render
against Mr.. Settle for the fraud that
has been practiced will be: GUILTY!
In conclusion, we desire to say that
if Mr.. Settle thinks he has been unjust
ly or unfairly dealt with, we Will
cheerfully tender him the use OF our
columns, and promise him hearing
which will be courteous.

Kansas CRY, Nov. 6.-B. A. Greever. .
well-known cattle dealer, was shot and ia
tally wounded this afternoon by Charles
Clifford, New York travelling salesmen,
at Hotel Andrew. Greever had paid com
siderable attention to Mrs. Clifford. Her
husband suspected their relations were not
entirely innocent. This afternoon he saw
Greever enter his apartments and going mp
tried to get into the room. The door wa
locked and on trying it he heard scufie
and then the key turn, when he rushed in-
to the room. Mrs. Clifford explained that
Greever had made insulting propositioas
TO her. Clifford thereupon drew revolver
and shot Greevef four times. Greever. in
ante .mortem statement, said he went to the
hotel to see Mrs. Ball, the landlAdy, to pay
q board bill. She was out and Mrs. Cliff
ford Asked him into her bedroom, saying
she would get Mrs. Ball. After they had

His Annual Report for the Fiscal Year
Ended June 80.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 6.-The report of the
commissioner of railroads contains full in
formation in regard to the condition of the
several railroad companies coming under
the Jurisdiction of his Office. For the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1880. as to improve
ments ON bonded roads the Commissioner
says: II am able to report that many inn
provements recently have been and contin-
ually are being made. These improvements
where they are made on bonded railroads
are especially valuable to the government,
as they not only increase the earning capaci-
ty Of the roads, but add largely to the
value Of the property The amount re-
ceived from bonded railroads this year was
slightly below the amount received for the
preceding year. This the commissioner
says. is not owing to a decrease in business,
but to the fact of unusual expenditures by
the Union Pacific company in the purchase
of new rolling stock. A to the present
financial relations between the bonded
roads and the government the COM
condition of things exists now that alwavs
has existed since the bonds created in aid
of their construction were issued, viz: that
the amounts annually received from the
roads fall largely below the amount OF in
terest annually accruing from the subsidy
roads. I he debts, therefore, due the gov
erument from these roads instead Of being
reduced, as was the evident expectation OF
congress, are rapidly increasing year by
year. This increase, however, is not due to
any failure of the railroad companies to
comply with the provisions Of existing
laws. The fault rests with the laws them
selves. The per cent of net earnings re-
Quired by law to be paid in discharge of
government obligations il not great enough
to meet the interest which annually accrues
upon bonds issued to. and in aid Of the CON-
struction of tho roads.
The commissioner adheres 10 the opinion
that il will be necessary to extend the time
in which the railroads may meet their obli-
cations 10 the government. He suggests
that in no event should the government be
the loser by granting an extension. The
total net liability Of the Onion Pacific road
to tho government ON juno 80, 1880, was
