Secretary Carlisle Non-Committal.

WASHINGTON, September 4
Secretary Carlisle this morning
declined to either ofir n or deny
the statement widely published
that the administration is favors
ably considering a place to abol-
ish the national banks and substi.
tute in their stead banks under
government supervision. He said
his timewould be almost whole oc.
cupied if he undertook to pass on
the various articles appearing in
the newspapers which alleged to
forecast what the administration
was considering or was going to
consider. The only affirmative fact
that can be ascertained at the
Treasury was that Speaker Crisp
and congressman Warner and Hall
did have a talk by appointment
with Secretary Carlisle at the
Treasury Office yesterday. The idea
that the President went to the
Treasury and was . party to the
conference is not true.
Chairman Springer, of the banks
ing and currency committee,
cailed on Secretary Carlisle this
morning, presumably in connection
with the rumored conference, the
snbject matter of which would
naturally hsye come before his
commi.tee.
A cabinet officer is authority for
the statement that the administra.
ton at this time is in preparation
OF a measure to be presented. 1t is
interested only in the passage Of
the repeal bill now before the Sem
ate. After that measure is passed
it is said that a general measure t.
carry out the rIatfrom as to The
currency reference will be consid-
erred.

CLEVELAND IN WASHINGTON
Dickinson Says the President is a Per-
fectly Well Man.
WAsH1NeroN, September 1,


WAsH1NeroN, September /.
When President Cleveland and.
family left their private Car at Z
o'clock this morning and walked
along the platform to the door OF
the depot to enter their carriage to
be driven TO the White House, it
was manifest co the few people
present that Nj. Cleveland was
strong and we'll. He carried an
umbrella to protect him from the
rain as he walked across the payes
ment, while MI. Thurber, held an
umbrella yer Mrs. Cleveland. and
the nurse protected baby Ruth.
The President walked as firmly as
when he led the procession down
the east front of the Capitol on the
4th day OF last March, and his face
was as strongly marked with the
glow of rugged health as it was
that day when he stood bareheaded
in a pitiless storm and delivered
his inaugural address in the pres
sence of a multitude that no. man
could number.
ExsP Postmaster General Dlckins
son called at the White House, and
had an interview with the Presi-
dent. He afterwards said to a
friend in the Senate: "He is the
same strong m~asterful man whom
I knew five and six years ago when
I was a member of his cabinet. He
made no allusion to the condition
of his health, aud, of course, l did
not, except to say, "You are looka
irg well, Mr. President to which
he responded, Quite well, thank
YOU He is a perfectly we'll man,
There were no other callers at
the White House to-day, as 1t was
known TO but few that the Presis
dent was there. While no Official
utterance is expected, there is 6
tacit understanding in oficia
circles, particularly at the Capitol
that the President will not encour
age the calls of Congressman wht
have no other business than to i'm
perfume him for office. Where va
cancies occur or changes are to b.
4 made, the Senators and Repre-
: sentatives who are interested will
be invited by the Cabinet min
r listers to make written recon-
: medations. The President is per
fectly well, but he will not surren
der his time and his strength t
!, the limitless demands of place seek

THE FlREMENS TOURNAMENT.
An Imposing Parade-Au Previous
Records Surpassed.

Pursuant to an order by the Chief
of the Fire Department and pre-
yiously posted handbills announcing
the same, the entire Fire Department
paraded the principal streets of this
city yesterday afternoon and halted
in front of the bank corner, where
was assembled quite a concourse OF
u citizens to witness the rendition
of the program heretofore published
in these columns.
The department made a fine APP
pearance with their handsome uni
forms of blue, and the time made in
the races was exceptionally good.
The following constitute the races
in order, the participants, and the
time in which they were made:
First race-Electric Reel Compa-
ny, 100 yards, lay 100 feet of hose,
attach to hydrant, break coupling
and throw water; time 43 seconds.
In this race the company notified the
Judges that their hose was fastened
as it should be, while the. others
were not.
Second race-Goldsboro Fire Com
pany No. /, same conditions as first
race; time 81 3-5.
Eclipse Steam Fire Engine Com
pany, conditions the same;s time 394.
In the above three races all compa-
MES used the Electric reel, which
was pulled-by hand.
The third race was for 140 yards
with horse attached to the reel O
Goldsboro Fire Company Nc. l, lay
so feet of hose, break coupling and
throw water; time 50.
The test OF the Eclipse Steam Fire
Engine No. 1 was the next in or
der, and it was just 5 minutes an6
55 seconds from the time the fir
was applied to the equitable matter il
the fire box, before the pumps of tn
engine were propelled by steam.

AS TO THE TARIFF.

There has never been any cause to
doubt that the Democratic admins
tration would carry out the pledge
of the platform 20 reform the tariff,
just as soon as it was possible 10 do
so. Those within the party who
have pretended to find in the course
of the administration any undue de-
lay in this matter and who have
urged unseemly haste III the face of
more pressing emergencies, have
been actuated by motives too plainly
apparent to deceive anyone,
The people know President Cleyes
land too well to doubt his absolute
loyalty to the cause which he hims
self made the slogan of the party.
In his message at the opening
Of the present exta session, MIR.
Cleveland said:
cit was my purpose to summon
congress In extra session early in the
coming September that we might
enter promptly upon the work OF
tariff reform, which the true inter.
ests of the country early demand:
which SO large a majority of the
people, as shown by their sufftages
desire and expect, and to the accom-.
plishment of which every effort Of
the present administration is pledged
But, while tariff reform has lost
nothing eff its immediate and per.
manenb Importance and must in the
near future engage the attention Of
congress, 1t has seemed to me thai
the financial condition of the coun.
try should at once and before al
otner subjects be considered by you
hanolable body"
The prompt and nnmistakabl,
manner IN which congress has up
held TIE president in his inancia
position, leaves no room for doub
that it will cosoperate with hin
when the time comes in the reform
of the tariff laws of the country il
compliance with true Democrat
principles and policy

Boies Again.

The Democrats of Iowa have
again nominated that sterling
statesman and splendid gentleman.
Horace Boies, for governor. In
spite of his protestations and his
efforts to retire from the office
which he has flied with such Gigs
nal ability, they have again called
him to the front, because they look
upon him as the only Lian who
can be depended on to lead the
party to victory.
The compliment is a high one,
but it is deserved. Goyrnor Boies
has done for the Democracy of his
state what no other leader has
been able to do. He has solidi-
fed and strengthened its ranks and
given it a power and a prestie
which insure its perpetuation in
place so long as it deserves the
confidence of the people.
But the denomination of Gov
ernor Boies was not the only cred

Democrats in their state conyen-

Democratic administration in the
following emphatic language:
