NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Editorial com
meDt upon the passage Of the repeal
bill will be made tomorrow morning as
follows:
Daily America-The senate session
has been most remarkable one While
Rome burned, Nero fdded. While a
handful of senators. representing linz
tied constituency, looking out only for
their own interests, fiiibustered to pre-
vent vote, the business OF the
country languished. The lesson haS
been a costly one, but perh a
not so much so if it has demonstrai .
the necessity OF revision of the rules
of the senate, and shall lead to such a
revision in the interests of common
sense and justice. The people are
it Is not likely to be long before the
senate will head the demand. rhe ma
jority must rule.
70 Grover Cleveland belongs the
largest share of praise for the repeal Of
the bill.
The World: The repeal bill passed
the senate as was anticipated last night.
After struggle of two months the
majority has successfully asserted its
right to legislate. The will of the people
has at last been respected. The firm
ness vi TIE pTeSiuent mas DeeD regarded.
The will of the majority, while reflect
ing public sentiment, has been success
ful. 1t is triumph for sound and
stable currency, for the credit Of the
government, for the rights of the peo-
pie. If the house will now concur in
the amendments and unite in giving
the country a rest, congress will have
tardily earned the thanks of the nation.
The Morning Advertiser: The Re-
publicanS in congress were not unwilling
to repeal the Sherman law. 1t had done
its work and was no longer necessary.
They knew it was no more responsible
for the depression that rests upon all
our business interests than was the fed
eral election laws, indeed, perhaps not
nearly so much, but the people had
been persuaded it was, and were crazy
for its repeal, and they therefore con-
cluded to unite in securing it.
And they have secured it. The Demo-
cratic party divided, incapable and un-
disciplined, was powerless to repeal the
law without Republican assistance, a.
the vote shows. This assistance was
cheerfully given, much as sick mans
whin is humOred when it will do him
no harm, even If it does him no good.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Clifford won easily
at Hawthorne this Afternoon in the
sweepstakes mile and a quarter race in
which he, Yo Tambien and Lamplighter
fought for the $1,000 prize. For the
first half Yo Tambien, the favorite, kept
her gliStening chest tnut coat in the lead,
but from the three-quarter post Clifford
had it just to suit him, and went under
the wire in 2:09$l, with Yo Tambien
fifteen lengths away and with Lamp
lighter twenty lengths behind the mare.
1t took twenty minutes to get the horses
started, for Yo Tambien, usually so
obedient, was acting wickedly. But at
last the red flag went down and with
splendid speed the horses came towards
the stand. As they passed the judges
1o Tambien showed three-fourths of a
length ahead of Clifford. with Lamp
lighter a half-length behind. At the
quarter the mare had kicked full length
of daylight between herself and the colt
and Lamplighter was two lengths TO the
rear. But as the horses neared the half
Clifford gained rapidly, and as they
passed the mark the two were running
neck and neck, with Lamplighter clear
out of it. Clifford gained steadily until
when the stretch was reached he was
two lengths ahead of the mare, and fin
IShed with YO Tambien fifteen lengths
behind him and Lamplighter twenty
lengths further back in the procession.
When the race was over MIR. Walbaum
said that he intended to take Lamp
lighter back East Immediately. He

not expect to win"
Yo Tambien's friends claim that her
edge was taken off by the special race
Saturday, and that had the big race
been run then the result would have
been different.
Clifford's hackers were loud in their
praise of the three-year-o son, of
Bramble, and not without reason, for
his performance this afternoon was
splendid one. With track that was es
timated to be two seconds slow, the
time was unusually good. AS the sec

ROMANTIC STORY OF DEVOTION

to Go to the Other World by

Not Wisely.
LONDON Oct. 3O.-The Star today
publishes romantic story, which is
said to be sequel to the suicide on
Thursday last of Capt. Charles Howard,
brother of the Earl of Effingham, who
killed himself with pistol at mis- resi-
dence, No. "a Evelyn terrace, this city.
Capt. Howard, who was captain in the
Coldstream guards, at one time was
married to the eldest daughter Of the
Earl of Wichllsea and Nottingham. Ac-
cording to the story told by the Star, the
death of Capt. Howard was brought
about by his infatuation for a young and
pretty woman, who shot herself on
Saturday. A friend of Mrs. BloSs, the
young woman referred to, is quoted as
saying that Capt. Howard often visited
her, and that some days previous
to his suicide the captain was in
iOl litO Ilo nllO was aware
of his intimacy with Mrs. Bloss,
and had taken steps to begin a suit for
divorce against him. The captain and
Mrs. Bloss appear to have been so ap-
prehensiYe of the result of the exposure
which the divorce proceedings would
bring about and they seem to have
been so infatuated with each other that
they determined to die in each others
company. With this object in view,
Capt. Howard and Mrs. Bloss were said
to have purchased poison with the in
tention of partaking of it together, but
something seems to have made them
change their minds and the captain
shot himself with a revolver at his
home, where he was found dead by
servant, sitting in chair in the smok-
ing room, apparently asleep. Mrs.
Bloss. as already stated. shot herself on
Saturday.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Vance County Alliance
met at Henderson on April 18th, with
a large turnout, regardless Of the rain
that was falling thick and fast at the
time of opening. We had a very har
monious meeting, opening at 10 a. m.
At His the Alliance adjourned for
Bro. Marion Butler to make a public
speech. After the ringing Of the bell
and a few moments delay, the court
house was crowded to its seating ca
pacity and our worthy President in his
address did honor to our cause and
himself. I heard several say that his
speech was the best that they had ever
heard.
Vance County Alliance will hold it's
next meeting at Dabney on July 18th,
and we are going to have a big time on
that day or we will be greatly disap
pointed. The writer of this is a mem
Der of Health Seat Alliance, and we
are going to join with Dabney on that
day to give all present a good time.
Health Seat Alliance is much stronger
nov than at any time last year and I
feel sure if it continues to increase in
the next quarter as it has it has in the
last it will be stronger with a larger
membership than it ever had. The
greatest trouble we have is to get the
members to attend the meetings. They
say that they are good Alliancemen
and are very solid for reform, but some
are somewhat negligent in attending
the Sub meetings.

CARD FROM Ex-CONGRESSMAN
WATSON.

Editor POST beg that you will
allow me space to deny three state,
ments which have recently been tele-
graphed you from Augusta, Ca:
First. That 1 had returned to the
Democratic party.
Second. That I had abandoned the
contest for my seat in the Fifty-third
Congress.
Third. That I had drawn a pistol on
a railroad agent and had been fined for
it in the police court.
The first Of these statements is totally
unfounded.
So is the second.
The third has this much truth about
it-that l struck a railroad agent who,
as I thought, had grossly affronted me.
The Democratic mayor, quite naturally,
took a view of the case which differed
from mine, and fined me '$2 so and
costs total S..
No pistol was drawn, and no such
charge was made or passed upon.

damage.
The last paragraph is rather rough
on the editorials of the Economist since
March 18th, Faies Of the future. Well,
well, evidently the doctor forgot that
it was loaded. If the executive COM
mittee had yielded to the siren voice of
Feb. 18th, there would still be perfect
harmony" The destruction of the AL
lance or the success of the Peoples
party was of little moment if the Econ!
On1iSt remained unmolested.
Had the executive committee yielded
to the Establishment of the doctor and
betrayed it's trust for the benefit of the
Economist and it's editor, ''peace would
still prevail"
The doctor writes as though he was
very anxious for a trial, etc. The ex-
ecutive committee had no business to
investigate officially any person not a
member. The doctor withdrew from
the Alliance at Memphis. If the doctor
was really anxious for a fair, impartial
trial ne would sue the National Watch
man for libel. 1t has made such
charges against him as no honorable
man would remain silent under.
Why does he not answer or sue? At
the meeting of the National Reform
Press Association, Feb. 22d, charges
were preferred against DIR. Macune,
and a committee appointed to investi-
gate, when they waited upon him to
notify him he cody informed them
that he did not consider himself mem
Der. He, the ex president, his paper
still carrying the flag and represented
at the meeting to escape a trial resorts
to the contemplate expediency of de-
nying that he has been a member ever
since - when? Why, since the
Indianapolis meeting oUben he lost the
presidency. Did he leave the N. R. P.
A. to save it also? Evidently the doc
tor will not be a member of any organ
ization unless he is in full command.
Perhaps that accounts for his mon
craftsmanship" He will never know
just "where he is at" until he is elected
president.
He has sailed under false coIors so
long that he insists on flying a flag to
which he has no right. The Economist
is no longer the official organ Of the
National Farmers AUianc and Indus
triol Union. 1t will not be recognized
as such by any officer of the Alliance.
