VANCE IS BETTER.
He is Able to Make Witty Speech on
jackson Day.

The Jackson Democratic Associa-
ton celebrated the anniversary OF the
Battle of New Orleans on the evening
of the 9th in Washington
Speeches were made by Congress
man Mcmillan, Senators Vance and
Daniels, Congressman Sherman Hoar,
Hemphill and William L. Wilson.
OF Senator Vance's effort, the Wash
ington News says:
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
in answering to the toast, Andrew
Jackson, a Citizen and an American
made one Of the witty speeches for
which he is famous. He said that
Andrew jackson was either born in
Union county. n. c., or so close to
it that he derived from it all the Vir-
tues for which the section is famous
After being born there, he removed
to Tennessee, 1.-The daughter Of North
Carolina, for the three Presidents
Tennessee has given to the country,
Andrew Jackson, James b. POLK, and
Andrew Johnson, were corn in North
Carolina.
whether the art Of creating Presi-
dents is denied to North Carolina or
not" said Mr. Vance, there Is no
doubt it is a happy breeding place for
persons who move away and aspire to
greatness, and ] may De excused from
say that ldQ gone TO S0Qle OJuef
State like Tennessee | would have so
overshadowed the other citizens that
there is no telling what | might have
become
Continuing, he said there were
two kinds of greatness-the greatness
that is written in books and sung in
history and the greatness that is kept
alive by tradition in the hearts Of the
people. Measured by the latter, An
drew Jackson will be found to be one
of the greatest, if not the greatest,
American who has ever lived. Then
there was greatness Of intellect and
greatness of moral qualities. Will
and will power went far to make up
moral greatness, and in possession of
these characteristics no one could be
mentioned in the same breath with
jackson.
s'While he did not have the keen
intellectual eyesight Of Calhoun or
Webster, when he did see he acted
and leaped like thunderbolt. and did
what was needed while they were
considering ways and means.
Senator Vance mOdeStly claimed
relationship with Jackson, and spoke
of the coming administration in glow
ing terms. Regarding the Offices to
be distributed, he exclaimed: "lf
the horse has faithfully pulled the
plOw, for Gods sake let him have the
fodder"

Manufacturers Record makes an en-
couraging showing.
Last year the southern output of
pig iron, as obtained direct from the
producers, amounted to l, 954. 295 gross
tons, as compared with Los, 800 tons
in 1891, being an increase of 245, $50
tons, nearly Is per cert. Eleven new
blast furnaces were completed, six in
Virginia, one in North Carolina and
four in Tennessee. Three rolling
mills were buiit-twC in Virginia and

Special Correspondence of tho Sentinel. |

Special Correspondence OF the Sentinel
RALEIGH. n. c., Jan n.-After
looking on for a week, | am persuaded
that the present General Assembly is
one of the best that has assembled
here in recent years. In choosing its
officers il made admirable selections,
and there seems to be strong tenden
cy towards conservatism in all it's
movements. Forsy Oh county is well
represented in both branches. Mr..
Watson is chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency,
and Mr.. Jones chairman of the Senate
judiciary Committee both impor
tant and hoHOred pOSitisnS.
The question of establishing State
banks of issue is the most interesting
one before the Legislature: and a res
olution passed both houses this morn
ing to require all bills relating to that
subject to be printed. 1t seems quite
likely that some systems will be adop-
ted. butas yet no definite plan has
been presented which meets with uni
versal favor.
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
AS to the public printing there is
great deal of quiet speculation. Capt.
Ashe has sent out circular asking
seem reasonable to the General As
semhly. Mr.. Daniels has made a
thorough but quiet canvass of
the field in his own behalf, and
Mr.. Jernigan'S name will be pre-
sented to the caucus, and a great
many members have expressed the
intention Of voting for him. How
this three-cornered contest will end
nobody can tell.
Little Willie Bradfeld, of Salem, is
a page in the Senate, and is extreme
ly proud of his position.

The weather for the past ten days
has been horrible. 1t is said to be

spell of bad weather which Raleigh
has experienced in twenty years.

lie idle, at the expense of the producers
and consumers Of the territory trav-
ersed; he invests his money and ex-
torts the profits from the people. Every
cent charged in tariff above what is
necessary to return fair profit to one
railway line, counting the cost of Its
right of way. construction, equipment,
aud the expense of operation, is rob
berry of the people.
There is scarcely railroad in Amer
lea which is not stocked at least three
times the cost of its right of way, con-
struction and equipment, and every
manager seeks to operate at such rates
as will pay the cost Of operation and
pay a reasonable dividend on all the
stock. A great portion Of the country
is covered with two or three times as
many parallel lines as can be supported
by the amount of traffic at fair rates.
The levy of the plutocrat upon the pro-
ducing and consuming population is
most disastrous to the welfare of the
country. He is rapidly growing richer
and the people poorer.
