PEFFER's AMENDMENrLo
BY Vote of2S to 30.-What tho Sen
ate Did Friday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-At yester
day afternoons session of the Senate
Mr.. Voorhees, asked for vote on the
pending question. The Vice-Presi-
dent stated the question to be upon
Mr.. PETERS amendment to the VOor-
heeS bill.
Mr.. Allen called for the reading of
the amendment and it was read. 1t
provides for the coinage of silver bull
lion deposited by any owner thereof,
as under the act of January 18th,
1927, and reviyes and re-enacts that
act and repeats all acts in conflict with
it.
The vote was taken amid much ex-
element and was finally announced,
after much shifting of pairs, as fol-
lows: Yeas %, nays SO. North Caro-
Hna's representatives were divided,
Vance voting in favor of the amend
ment and Ransom in opposition.
Mr.. VOORHEES, then asked unanimous
consent to have the vote taken on his
substitute to the House bill, with the
understanding that it would then be
treated as the original measure, open
to amendment. After some discus
sion of his request it was conceded in,
and the vote was accordingly taken on
the substitute. 1t was agreed to-
yeas So; nays 9-the negatives votes
being given by Allen, Bate, Call, Ceke,
Troy, Kyle, PETER, Roach and Vance
The substitute as agreed to strikes
out the whole of the House bill, and
inserts in lieu of it the following:
''That SO much of the act approved
July 14th, 1890, entitled an act direct
ing the purchase of silver bullion and
the issue Of Treasury notes thereon,
and for other purposes, as directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
from time to time, silver bullion to
the aggregate amount Of our million

repealed.
"And it is hereby declared to be
the policy of the United. States to
continue the use of both gold and sill
yer as standard money, and to coin
both gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic and exchangable value,
such equality to be secured through
international agreement, or by such
safeguards of legislation as will insure
the maintenance of the parity in the
value of the coins of the two metals,
and the equal power of every dallar at
all this in the. markets and the pay
ment of debts.
''And it is hereby further declared
that the efforts of the government

Romance of an Eaquimau Maiden.

A magiZene is usually satisfied with
one strong feature for the month.
The Cosmopolitan, however, presents
for November no less than five very
unusual ones. William Dean Howells
gives the first of the letters OF the
traveller, wlo has been visiting this
country, from Altruria. We have
read Mr.. Howells' impression of the
Altrurian; but in this first letter we
have the Altrurian's Impressions of
New York, with some comments
upon our government and society,
calculated to awaken the most con
sentative minds. The second feature
Of the Cosmopolitan is the portion
OF the magazine given up to color
work, no less than ten superb color
illustrations being presented for the
first time in magazine history,
accompanying an article by Mrs.
Roger A. Pryor on Changes in
Women's Costumes. The third
feature is American Notes." by
Walter Besant, who was recently in
America and is doing the United
States for the Cosmopolitan la
Dickens. The fourth feature is an
article by General Badeau on The
Forms of Invitation Used by the
English Nobility" The article is
illustrated by the facsimile of cards
to the Queens drawing room, to
dinner at the Princess OF Wales, and
to many leading houses of England.
Finally, we have a new and very
curious story by Mark Twain, called

BUSINESS SITUATION
man Bill Proving Beneficial in
Some Sections The Failures

Some Sections The Failures
NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-Bradstreets
to-day says: "Cumparative freedom in
shipments of cotton and grain to mar
ket have an influence in stimulating
a renewed demand for staple articles
and together with a prospect for the
nearby repeal of the silver purchase
law, render the outlook brighter.
Orders for merchandise in larger
volume have been received at Baltl-
more and Pittsburg, at Richmond,
Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham,
New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Little
Rock and at Cincinnati, Louisville
and st. Louis. In the West there is
an unusually long list of cities at
which an increase in the volume OF
business has been recorded within
week, and it is worthy of notice that
reports from them in almost all IN
stances specify that increased orders
have been received for dry good, shoes,
clothing and groceries.
At cities in Gergia, North Carolina
and South Carolina no increases are
reported in the volume of trade, and
at some decline is visible. The in
duStrial situation at most important
centres in the West is as unsatisfac-
tory as heretofore.
Prospects for repeal of the silver
clause of the Sherman bill are reflect
ed at Richmond, Nashville and Mem
phis, where there is better tone ia
the markets, and improved demand
for dry goods, shoes and groceries and
easy collections.
The loss of business from silver
States is said to amount to about 20
per cent.
DUN & CoMPANY's REPORT.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-R. G.. Dun &
Cos. weekly review of trade doday
says:
Port is in sight after long and
stormy voyage, and the prospects of
a speedy end over the repeal has
brought bright hopes to business.
Stock climbed up rapidly for three
days, banks relaxed restraints, COM
mercial loans are more freely sought
and made, and reports from all quar-
tiers show the prevalence of more
hopeful feeling. This of itself tends
to produce some revival of conSump-
tion which, nevertheless has made bur
moderate progress as yet. 1t is still
too soon to expect much effect in
trade and manufactures, though mon
etary obstacles are to large extern
removed. There still remain other
legislative questions which create I'M
certainty. Opinion also differs as to
the extent of improvement now to be
expected after so much doubt and de-
lay and loss.
The clearings outside New York
this week are not quite 20 per cent.
less than last year. AS yet there is
seen only a continuance of the faint
and slow increase in distributions OF
products, which has been noticed for
some weeks.
The number and magnitude of fail
ures in the United States is less than
had been expected, the liabilities In
three weeks of October amounting to
SIS, 072, 920 against about s., 100000 for
the same weeks last year. This week
there have been 352 failures in the
United States against 1877 last yeaI
and Al in Canada against 20 last year.

Moravlans In America.

Bishop Rondthaler'
There are now more Moravians by
twice in America than there are in
Germany and England counted to-
gether. As far as we are able to see,
this country is the appointed central
home for the little Church of Mora
Wan fathers. Fifty years ago our
growth would have been attended
with radical separation from our
brethren across the seas; but now it
is hailed by them with loving con-
gratulations. We have, on the one
hand, drawn nearer to each other, as
one church throughout the world;
on the other hand, we have learned
to know our independent destinies,
as American Moravians.

Will Probably Adjourn.
Wash. Correspondence North Carslinlan

1t is possible, if not probable, that
the Senate will adjourn after passing
the repeal bill, and that no other f.
nancial legislation will be had at the
extra session. The outlook is good at
the regular session for the passage of
bill repeating the 10 per cent. tax
upon the circulation of State banks,
and the passage of an income tax.
These together with ID radical reduc-
tion and thorough revision of the tar
if, and other financial measures which
the Democrats will carry into effect,
are expected by leaders of the party
to give better times and to demon
strate the wisdom of entrustlng the
Democrats with the control of all the
branches o. the government.

The Raleigh News-O Observer says:
Mr.. Willis Il. Hall, the talented
young architect of Winston, is in
Raleigh, and has with him three
beautiful designs for the proposed
Confederate Monument, which have
been submitted to the committee in
charge. Mr. Halls work shows him
to be an architect of a high order of
superiority, and will doubtless COM
mend itself highly TO the committee.
The award should be made to North
Carolinian if the designs are of suffi-
cient merit, and Mr.. Halls beautiful
work shows that there is no reason to
go outside the State.

More Prisoners Escape.

Four prisoners made their escape
frC m the Jail in Wilkesboro Sun
day night October 22nd. Their
names and offenses are as follows:
Frank Wyatt, stealing; Curtis NJ.
Brooks, shooting his daughter; Charlie
Eller, stealing; Willard Parkes, forni-
cation and adultry.
The News says that the escape was
made through an opening they had
made by removing brick underneath a
window and did their work in such a
quiet way that the jailer was not
aware of what was going on until the
last man was out. He made noise
that awoke the jailer but too late for
him to interfere with their escape.

of a curious accident. So many

which supply water from the Bronx

How sweet to warder in the pleasant breeze,
Where wild grapes purple in the mellow sun,
And ri ened nuts drop softly one by one;
While from the sumacs crimson canep'es,
The W cd-thrush pipes his parting m lodles
Yet through the brilliant web the autumn
weaves,
Full many somber thread the eye perceives,
And her biand breath is full of proph scies.
60 loved October dons her-garments gay,
And yelling her sad face in golden haze,
Dreams to divert us by the festive guise;
AS friends departing meet our mournful gaze
W 18th smiles, ana smiling turn away,
Lest we should read the anguish in their

Don't Encourage Blues
From the Philadelphia Times.l
A women may be as beautiful as
Helen of Troy and as alluring as the
serpent of the Nile, yet if she be not
cheerful she is altogether incapable
of winning and keeping affection after
lookout for all that is bright and
gay. There is SO much OF sorrow
lurking in every corner that we want
to turn our backs upon it whenever
we can; therefore, woman to be
appreciated in home and social life
must be like a ray of sunshine rather
than q cloud, no ma tier how beauti-
full that cloud may be.
We women are so apt to be de-
pressed by rainy days and other
outside influences that really should
not have the power to dampen the
tone of our spirits. Suppose the
weather is gloomy and we get up
feeling certain that we are in for a
very severe case OF the blues. Now if
we have a mind we can fight off these
cerulean horrors and make ourselves
and every one about us feel better
and brighter, instead of gloomy and
depressed.
Many woman has been heard to
say: 81 have the blues dreadfully
today, and yet don't know what
for, I'm sure" Now, in cases such
as these it is a positive sin to let
gloom settle down over our spirits
when little energy will dispel it.
There are many real causes for
downheartedness, i'll health, the loss
of friends and the numerous trials
that come into every life, and which
are heart SORROWS that are not talked
| of openly. Yet even these can be
lived down, and we can cultivate a
seeming cheerfulness that after a
time loses its artiticialty and brings
with it tendency to look on the
bright rather than the dark side Of
life. The optimist is popular; there
fore encourage spirit of cheerful
ness, for with it all ills grow less anc
