AN OLD REBEL YELL.

Special to State Chronicle.
FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., Sept. 21.
Mai. Jno. B. Broodfoot, command
ant of the Fayetteville Independent
Light Infantry, returned from Raj
eigh to-day where he received from
the State Treasurer check for
$3.50 being the appropriation made
by the last Legislature for our CON-
pany. The announcement Of this
fact at the armory in civil meeting
was greeted with cheers which re-
minded the old soldiers of the rebel
wells which commenced at the bat
tie of Bethel where this company
made a glorious record for Southern
manhood, having borne the brunt
of the heroic charge made by Maj.
Winthrop of the Federal army, and
lasted until Appomattax sounded
the death knell of Southern hopes
The F. l. L. l. can boast of as
good soldiers as ever shouldered the
musket or drew the sword, and the
muster roll of the company fol-
almost a century past has called th'
names of some of North Carolina s
yea, many of North Cardinals, mos
prominent citizens. Work on IT,,
$4,000 armory of the compan.
will soon be commenced, and whe1
completed will be a snowy buildin
in the now already attractive block
in the old and hospitable town Q
Fayetteville.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %.
Senator Ransom has just arrived in
Washington from North Carolina
where the Farmers Alliance is
particularly active. He says that
the Alliance does not threaten the
Democratic party, and that the fight
is merely between two factions OF
the party for supremacy. What
the Alliance faction is fighting for
in North Carolina, he says, is te
get control of the party, not te
destroy it. He does not see thai
there is any third party in it.

CORRUPTION IN CdNADA.

In strong letter from correspondent at
Ottawa, printed in The Tribune to-day on
another page a remarkably brilliant light is
thrown upon the revelations brought out con-
corning Tory corruption by the Tarte investiga-
ton. BY mercileSs grouping of facts our COR
respondent makes their hearing upon the Tory
majority in Parliament clear and indiSputable.
The fact of the matter is that the Office of Sir
Hector Langevin, the Minister of Public W orlls,
has been for years collecting agency for the
Tory party. Sir John Macdonald came into
power and remained in power until his death as
the first officer of an Administration pledged to
the development Of the country. He developed
pretty much everything in sight. Anybody who
wanted anything developed had merely to prove,
not the desirabity of the work on public
grounds but his ability to contribute to Tory
success and to uphold the Tory Government, and
he straghtway got all the development he
wanted The taxpayers Of Ontario, upon whom
the burdens of Dominion government chiefly
fall, have been the sufi erers by this policy. The
money taken out of their pockets has gone to
pay the expenses Of Provincial government in
the Maritime Provinces, in Manitoba and in
British Columbia, to build railroads and bridges,
TO deepen harbors, and to do almost everything
for which the slightest excuse could be found
the condition of all being the maintenance OF
the Tory Ministry.
Sir John Macdonald was strong enough during
his lifetime TO stave off any examination into the
facts of these scandals, though scandals they
had been for many years. With subservient
majority at his back, bound to support him, be-
cause in supporting him they were keeping
themselves and their friends in comfortable
places, and capable in every general election OF
raising through Sir Hectors collecting agency
enough money from contractors and manu-
facturers to bribe his way back to power, Sin
John gave little heed to questions and disposed
of criticism with contemptuous sncer. But at
his death the exposure OF what had been going
On was bound TO come, and come it did. The

MORE TRADE IND LESS TAXES.

According to Senator Carlisle, whatever the
Mckinley bill did or did not, it was sure TO
cause an increase of taxation and decrease OF
imnortation. The Senator obtained this result
NV arguing that the duties being generally in
creased importation naturally would fall on ou.
not so much as to prevent the heavier rates OF
duty from drawing larger revenue than ever
from the peoples pockets. There are several
points in which the Senator's statement was
wenk. but the chief was in it's blind disregard
If the free-list. Like his fellow Free Traders,
be never thinks of the free list. His speeches
had no room for the fact that 1t provided free
importstion 10 per cent greater than that or
the Mills bill, including goods imported in 1889
TO the value of 1895, 100000, on which the
people had paid taxes of more than S65,-
100000
II is possible to obtain now a fairly good
idea of the influence which the new tariff is
eyerting on revenues and importations. The
Mckinley bill went into effect on October 6,
1890. Taking the seven months beginning with
the following December and ending with last
Jme il is seen that the total importation OF
merchandise amounted to S493,431,61o, as
against SAT-, 025,9 500 in the same months OF
the wear preceding, and the revenues from those
imports in The period embraced in 1S9O-9l
amounted TO S113,126,0I6 IA, as against
S18G. O33.3S1 60 in the period of 1SS9-'9O. At
the same time our exports Of domestic produce
have greatly increased amounting to $780,
O21.sO7 daring the seven months specified in
1s9O-'91, as against 1882, 155,4O2 during the
same months of the year before. These are
facts-hard unyiedng facts-and they send
Mr. Car!ise's speculations to the ground. The
precise figures of revenue and importation dur
ing each of the months mentioned are shown
in the following table. The figures are official

4 GOOD TYPE OF CITIZEN.

By the death of James S. Case Brooklyn loses
enc of its most active and upright citizens. For
many years he was the secretary of the Brook
lyn Young Republican Club, and he earned the
reputation Of being the hardest worker, and
possibly with the exception of Mr.. Williams,
the most popular member of that vigorous Or
ganization. Mr.. Case was not man of wealth
and was engrossed with the cares of an exact
ing business; but he found time and he had
marked inclination for public duties. lie was
not an ofiiceho.der, although he received strong
support two years ago for the position Of Post
master of Brooklyn. His interest in politics
and public affairs was thoroughly unseliish and
was inspired by a conscientious desire to dis
charge his full obligation as citizen. The re-
ward which he received for his untiring and
laborious service in the Republican ranks was
the sincere respect Of all friends Of good gov
eminent and public morality.
The lives of miIlionaires and successful poll
tcians are those from which morals are ordi-
nariy pointed by the press. They are con-
spicuous figures in public life, but there are
many of them, and with rare exceptions they
are not seriously missed, and their places are
quickly filed. The chief demand of the times
is for successful business men WHO are willing
to devote their time and energy to public aIairs
without thoi9ht Of political reward and solely
from sense of civic obligation. Mr. Case was
man Of that stamp. The reserves OF force
and energy which were required for large bust
ness transactions were employed in religious
worl, and political organization His influence
was brought to bear in the strongest and most
effective way on moral issues and public ques-
tons. Such a mans life does not make much
stir and noise in the world but it is rich in
good work. faithfully performed.

The frightful accident at Saint AIande supplies
all the elements of horror which are supposed Oh
the Continent to be characteristic of American
railway management, and one additional feature
which is certainly novel. Two excursion trains
met, an engine teescoped" three carriages, the
wreckage took fire and the imprisoned passengers
we're slowly roasted TO death These are familiar
Incidents What is novel is the drowning Of the
manned and dying by torrents of water poured
upon the wreck by fire companies, operating with
more zeal than discretion Death by a railway
accident is always pathetic from the suddenness
with which the victims are wTenChed out of life.
It is most pathetic when as in this case, the transi
ton is from JOY and brightness to the awful dark
ness of agonizing death. The victims of this dis
aster were pleasure-seekcrs returning TO their
homes in high spirits from a musical festival.
Death came when tests were passing from seat TO
seat and the air was filled with rollicking
gayety.
