and agricultural education, together with
that of roads. were referred to the execu-

Charles; eud 81. L. Lyman, of Charlottes-

An important Question.

Ia referring t, Blaine'a reply to Rudini,
which We publish in full in this issue, the
New York Herald says that one very signi-
fcant question which Mr.. Blaine raises in
his reply''is whether the Italians. for whom
redress is demanded came to this country
in violation of our immigration laws and
whether. they were law-ablding persons.
That New Orleans has been infested with
thousands of italian outlaws and assassins
who have secretly banded together to men
ace life and terrorize society is notorious
fact. Is the United States to shelter and
protect these villanous criminals or be call
ed to account when any one of them is
stamped out of existence. by AM indignant
populace rising in arms for its own safety
While this point is being investigated by
the United States it might be well for the
italian government to prepare proofs, if ii
CAP, that the victims of the popular out.
break were not m embers of that hellish
Malta which has Icing been the curse and
the terror of all law-abiding citizens ir
New Orleans"

NEGROES MORE OPPOSED To LANesToN
THAN BEFoRE.-On Wednesday morning of
last week, Congressman Bowden (republi-
CAM told the Washington correspondent Of
the Alex. Gazette that the Virginia Repub-
lican delegation to the next national repub-
lean convention would be for Harrison, and
that as Gen. Malone was as we'll aware of
that fact as anybody else, the General had
wisely determined to ego with the crowd.
He said the ae'ection of the delegates to the
Cincinnati convention of the national re-
publican league clubs had no significance
whatever, and tbst the negroes in his dis
trict are more opposed TO Langston now
than they were before his famous nccu-,
eiiisti ID with rem. Malone.

much that was prophetic, so much that was
sacred so much that divine, attending and con-
sequent to his reign, that history furnishes no
parallel. Art has now been called into requtsi-
ton as adyentitious aid to biblical lore, and
the glamour and glories of the past are repro-

personal research in Palestine, Jerusalem and
the Holy Land, and has studiously mastered
the history and traditions of the Bible, and re-

tai. The emerald and other beryi gems
have been mined in Alexander county, N.
