WHAT IS THE CLoTURE RESOLUTION
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
But what is the cloture resolution!
Simply resolution of the Senate tt
do that which is done by nearly every
legislative body in the world; namely
to prevent the obstructive tactics of q
minority by enforcement of 1.-The pre-
lvious question" whenever it is plain to
the majority that the question at issue
has been fully debated, and that all
further pretenses of debate are for OBJ
struction only.
What is the question atissue in regard
to which the obstructive policy of the
Democratic minority has become so of
fensive as to wear out the patience of
that singularly peaceful body, the Re-
publican majority in the Senate?
The National election law, commonly
called the force bill.
Why is it necessary to pass Nation
al election law?
Because in nearly every State lately
in rebellion the negro vote is suppressed
by force or frand.
How does it come to pass that the ne
gro has voter
By the solemn act of the Nation,
speaking through the Legislatures of all
its States, and afterward through both
houses of Congress.
Did the Legislatures of the States
lately in rebellion confirm the Constitn-
tional amendment by which the negro
was endowed with right to vote?
They did.
Under what circumstances did they
do so.
Under these: They had attempted to
secede from the Union of States; they
had made war in pursuance of this at
tempt. They had been conquered by
force of arms. They had made "uncon-
ditional surrender" Surrendering un-
conditionally, they were placed for
awhile under military rule, but were
graciously restored to membership in
the Union by their conquerors upon rat
ification of certain amendments to the
Constitution, of which amendments one
was the clause giving the negro the
right to vote.
So that the Appeal Avalanche contem-
plates new act of secession, a new act
of rebellion. Let its readers try it.
God forbid that there should be war
again. "Give peace in our time, o
Lord. Scatter thou the people that de-
light in war" But the best way to pre-
serve peace is to enforce the law, every
particle of the law, even if it take "a force
bill'' to do it. If there were not lawless
force in the South and in the notification
of that clause of the organic law which
the Southern States ratified solemnly as
precedent to their restoration
to that Union which they had violently
assailed, there would be no need for the
passage of bill defining the measure
and the nature of the force to be used in
making it effective. 1t is the traitorous
of such sheets as the Appeal
that encourage the thugs and
murderers who do the bidding of the
stupid and cruel oligarchy that keeps
the South poor and stagnant amid the
and rush of other parts of the
Union.
San appeal to arms" indeed! May
it never be made. But if it is to be
made, let it be made quickly.

WHAT Is ELECTRIC ENERGY?

WHAT Is El4ECTRlC ENERGY!
Arkansaw Traveller.
The idea that electricity flows through
a wire somewhat as water flows through
pipe is likely to pass away, as reasons
appear for believing that the energy is
not transmitted by the wire at all, but
by the surrounding ether. In some ex-
periments by Professor J. J. Thompson
the velocity of electric disturbances
along wire surrounded by air was
nearly double the velocity along the
same wire surrounded by sulphur, and
the velocity of the discharge through a
vacuum tube fifty feet long was CON-
parable with that of light The conclu-
sion is that the conductor merely guides
the discharge impelled through the ether.

TRYING TO STOP A TRAIN.

| st. Louis Globe Democrat.
B. W. Vedder, locomotive engineer,
says: When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened the Indians were very hostile,
and there was constant fear that they
would wreck the trains. That they did
not is due to their ignorance of the iron
horse and the best methods of destroy
ing it. One of my fremen had an expo
rience with the .Cheyennes that he will
never forget. He was on the road near
Fort Wallace, when he saw that the In
dians had cut the telegraph wire, and
knew that he might look out for squalls.
They were never satisfied with. simply
cutting the wire, but chopped 1t into
inch pieces with their tomahawks to
effectually stop the mysterious messages.
As the train came near a large patch
of sunfiowers which grew on both sides
of the track over 100 Indians rose up,
stretched a strong rope across the track,
braced themselves and prepared to re-
ceive the shock of the locomotive. As
was afteward learned, they had taken
rawhide strips, braided them together
and, with force of fifty at each end of
the rope, thought that they would be
able to stop the train. The instant the
locomotive struck the rope the air was
full of Indians. They were thrown In
all directions. Some were jerked clear
across the train and more than dozen
were killed or seriously injured. This
was the last attempt made for years to
stop trains.

ORIGIN OF PAINTING IT REL

ORIGIN OF PAINTING IT RED"
Interview IN st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
Many stories have been told, each
claiming to give the origin of the ex-
preston painting it red," and to swell
the list will tell another. 1 think mine
is the right one. Away back in the
iifties racing was the most exciting
feature of river life, and whenever an
opportunity was given for the sport
every man on the boats would prepare
for the contest as if their lives depended
on the result. Upon entering race the
first order of the Captain would be,
"Paint her red, boysr' to the fremen
Then the coal would be heaped on until
the furnaces glowed like suns, and their
crimson glare could be seen for miles
ahead on the dark river. Then '.Paint
it red" grew to mean simply glorious
good time, either on water or land, with
us rivermen. The pat expression spread
quickly, until now you see what it is
almost universal.

GASOLINE A MOTH DESTROYER.
Pittsburgh Chronicle.
"What shall 1 do with my fur cape;"
an anxious dame was overheard inquir-
ing of a druggist lately. 81 have been
away on a visit, and there have been
moths in my friends wardrobe, for first
1 found one little bare place in my cape
where there ought to have been fur, and
now there is another and l am In de-
spair."
at is useless to try to find moths In .
fur CAPE" was the druggists answer;
'but take big bottle of gasoline and
saturate your cape with it. Then roll it
up in paper for day or two, and you
will find no more bare spots unless you
go visiting and hang it in the same
wardrobe"
"But am so afraid of gasoline"
ayes it is dangerous when used care.
lessly, but if you tieat your cape to
its gasoline bath in a room without fire
and with open windows, you are entire
ly safe, except from the odor; there is no
escaping that for few hours at least
Gasoline seems to be about the only
remedy which can be applied with dis
patch and certain effect when moths are
discovered invading valuable fur gar
ment, and in this season of fur it is well
to bear the remedy in mind.

WHAT is a cold in the headp Medical
authorities say it is due to uneven cloth
ing of the body, rapid cooling when in
perspiration, etc; the important point is,
that cold in the head is an imtiamma-
ton of the lining membrane of the nose,
which, when unchecked, is certain to pro
duce catarrhal condition-for catarrh
is essentially cold which nature is no
longer able to "resolve" or throw off,
Ely's Cream Balm has proved its super
iority. and sufferers should resort to it
before that common ailment becomes
seated and ends in obstinate catarrh. liz

TALK ABOUT FREE TRADEl

New York Press.
The term "free trade" as applied to
foreign trade is very much of misno-
mer. The railroads of the United States
carried GIG, ,197, ,137 tons of freight dur
ing the year 1889, which, at an average
valuation of $50 ton, represented free
domestic trade amounting to $780,
5S7, $40. Our entire volume of imports
for the fiscal year 1S89-90 was only
S7S9,310,4 0,409, and of this there was sub
ject to duty 25,641,780. Our dutiable
imports don't look very important along
side of our domestic free trade, do they?

scholarly manner, doing credit to
themselves and honor to their wor-
thy teachers. Tie young men also
acquitted themselves honOrably in

the resolution passed by the recent
Industrial Convention, held in Ra-

an address to the county commits
sioners and Justices of the Peace of

that it is the interest of each county
in the State to be fully and complete
ly represented at the Southern Inter
State Exposition to be held in Ra-
leigh during October and November
1891. The exhibits sent to the expo
sition will be preserved and used at
Chicago in 1898, and in this way the
counties making exhibits get the ad-
vantage of showing the attractions
they have to offer capitalists, manu-
facturers and home seekers at the
two great expositions.
| will be glad to see the Justices
of the Peace in each county of the
State, make such appropriations as
will insure complete exhibit of the
woods, minerals, agricultural pro
ducts, fruits, vegetables and manu-
featured articles of all kinds, and
such other things as will show to the
world what grand State we live in
The Southern Interstate Exposition
will be visited by many thousand

A Difficulty Between Receiver Garne
and Two Negro Employees.

Mr.. H. W. Garner, receiver in the
rolling room of the Blackburn, Dali
ton & Cots tobacco f,ctory, got into
a difficulty with two negro employ
ees last week. It came near being
serious if not fatal fight. AS it is,
Mr.. Garner sustained no injuries and
one of the negro leaders got the
worst of the bargain.
Mr.. Garner reproved the negroes
for unnecessary noise. This was re
peated when he ordered them to leave
the factory. At further repetition
of this noise Mr.. Garner attempted
to put them out, when the negroes,
several of them, began crowding
around and lively fight ensued.
A pitchforkand window weights were
used by the negroes. Assistance
fortunately came in and the affair
was averted with no injuries save to
the negro leader James Burro VS., who
is carrying around several ugly
wounds.
