MooRMAN's RUN FOR CONGRESS-.
he Advises All the Negroes to Present
Themselves at the Polls.

Columbia, s. c.. Oct 19.-The republic
cans of the Third congressional district
held meeting at Newberry this morning
in the interest of Robert Norman, the
white republican candidate for congress
from the district. Norman advised all
the negroes of the district to present
themselves at the polls at the general
election, whether they had registration
tickets or not He declared that he would
hold the registration supervisor respou-
sible if there was any fraud in the regis
traton list.
A black Demosthenes from Orangebutg.
j. II. Fordham by name, stated that the
democratic committee, of which Senator
lrhy was chairman, was sending out only
affirmative tickets for the constitutional
convention that is to be voted on in the
general election. This is corroborated by
a report from York county that only af-
firmative tickets have been received there.

Cotton Futures.

New York, Oct. 19.-The Suns cotton
report says: Cotton declined points,
recovered this and advanced l point in
some cases, lost this and declined 4
potts, and then rallied slightly and closed
steady at a net decline for the day of ,
points Sales 114000. Liverpool declined
1-32d on the spot and ~ points for fut-
ures, closing barely steady. In Manches-
ter yarns were steady; cloths quiet To-
days features: Large receipts and a con-
tinued pressure to sell caused further
decline At one time there was a rally,
owing to the report that 5000 bales of
cotton had been burned in New Orleans,
though it was not pointed out how the
loss of 5000 bales could be regarded as a
bull point. Still there was some New Or
leans buying and some local coverings at
the time and a nervous market like this
readily responds to alaTmist reports of
any sort. The rally was followed by an
other downward movement and prices
touched the lowest figures in the official
history of the trade. And at these very
low prices there is a certain degree of
caution noticeable among the many OPP
orators who are supposed to be bearishly
inclined A New Orleans dispatch says;
Considering the perfect weather and the
unusual pressure to sell, the fact that the
movement falls below 1891 does not sup
port the 5000, 600 bales estimates. There is
supposed to be a little Investment buying
on a scale down, but as a rule the outside
public ignores cotton. 1t has bitten too
often. The burnt child breads the fire.

LEGAL rENpkE FOR pERrs.
Bah 10 Prevent DISCRIMINATION IN
Favor OF Gold.

WASHINGTON CRY. July I4-Rusiness
circles viii be interested in the bill re-
ported By the house COMMITTEES on iud5-
ciary providing that all contracts here
alter executed for the payment Of any
sum OF money. whether in gold. silver or
coin. may be discharged by any money
which Is by the iaw legal tender for the
payment Of debts. The author of the
measure, Mr.. Lane. OF Illinois. explains
that II is intended 10 regulate the practice
IN the Federal courts in regard 10 enter
ing judgments. aud to preserve the stabil-
ity and uniformity OF the currency. The
law Is nov that gold and silver coins and
treasury notes are a legal tender FOR the
payment Of all debts. public and private.
There are some exceptions in regard

IN treasury notes. bat this did not apply
TO judgments against private parties. Bat
Tor private transactions between individu-
ais the law makes both kinds of money
equal, and neither the courts nor private
individuals have the right 70 annul the
law. The Federal courts have been hold
ing that a judgment can be entered IN
coined dollars" for the purpose of an
nuiling the act of congress making treas
ury notes legal tender. In England il
was felony 10 discredit the coin OF the
realm. The courts of France have held
that parties cannot. by special contracts,
discriminate between the Bank of France
notes and coin money. Several state
courts have passed upon the question and
construed the law substantially as it was
aeid by he courts of France. 1t is to the
interest of society that money shall be
used in business. but il is unjust that bor-
rowers should, IN addition 10 the risk of
their business. be held responsible for
fluctuations OF the currency. When the
money OF a country Is loaned under geld
contracts, then the money power can in
crease its wealth by forcing gold to pre-
MUM and compel the debtor TO pay much
more than the amount he borrowed.
A different view of this question is taken
by the Republicans of the committee. ex-
cept Representative Broderiek, of Kansas.

says that the success of such measure
would be a menace to the very foundations
of business. Particularly would il be dis
astrous to foreign dealings and to com
merciat paper. Most of the bonds of
municipalities, states and corporations. he
said, are payable in gold coin. and such
law would be no safeguard to prevent
lenders of money, either individuals or
organizations, from being paid in depreei-
ated currency. lie regarded II as an out

WASHINGTON CITr. July 14-Senator
Brice was laconic tonight when asked for
information as 10 when the tariff con-
ierees would report. The report" he
said, will be made 10 the TWO houses
on Wednesday. The conterees will report
disagreement, aud the two houses will
instruct another conference" Other SEN
ators also declared report would be had
during the week.
The conferees on the tariff bill have
agreed on the following: Pottery rates
are Increased 3 per cent. making them the
same as in the house bill. Glassware is
reduced 10 the house rates. The cotton
schedule is scaled down about 5 per cent.
from the senate rates. The WOODEN schedule
IS brought down considerably, making it
more in accordance with the house rate.
The house rate OF 81 on wrappers in the
tobacco schedule. was substituted for
the senate rates of from Sl.J0 TO 81 50. The
metal schedule is not changed materially
from the rates fixed by the senate. Neither
iron nor coal has been carried back TO the
free list. and probably the senate rate, 40
cents ton, will stand. Lead ore Will re-
