delegation without an exception, Qeav-
ing out Chester I. Long, who doesn't en-
tertain opinions) do not like the revenue
measure which was passed under gag
rules by the house. Some have already
expressed themselves, but all are very
emphatic in saying that nothing but the
emergency can justify it.
81 don't like it." said Representative
Miller. "It was a mistake. l only
voted for it because I did not wish to
break with my party and because it was
the only thing which could be done at
this time"
Mr.. Miller was strong in his denuncia-
ton of the bond measure. "When l
voted for the revenue bill which had the
semblancs of necessity l went just as far
as l could. When it came to bonds not
a step farther would 1 go. When it
comes to organizing the house into a
committee to relieve the Democratic
party | am through with such business"
Congressman Blue said it was the best
thing which could be done at the time.
at was simply revenue bill to provide
funds to relieve the treasury. 1t was not
a Republican measure nor according to
Republican principles, but it was the
only thing which could have been done.
There isn't time to revise the whole tar
if and if there was it would be useless.
Cleveland would veto any protective
measure 1t is doubtful now if the bill
will get through the senate. 1t was the
only kind of a measure which the presi-
dent would be likely to approve and the
treasury had to be relieved"
The bill was all right under the exist
ing circumstances Congressman Calder
head thought "MoneY was needed to
cover the treasury deficit" he said, land
the bill was the best thing which could
be done at this time. The president
would veto any protective plan so this
was the only way to furnish the needed d
revenues. 1t is not Republican in es-
sence. 1t was simply the best expedient
to help the treasury

A Testimonial TO MIR, Jernjgan.

The friends Of Consul General Jerni-
gan will be glad to read the following
from ''the Celestial Empire" published
at Shanghai on Saturday, June 8th:
Yesterday, the Hon. T. R. Jernigan,
United States Consul General at Shang-
hal, was made the recipient of we'll
expressed and well merited testimonial,
signed by representatives of the many
Protestant missionary denominations in
China. The testimonial was quite uu-
expected, but all who are aware of the
prompt assistance that Mr.. Jernigan has
rendered officially, and even more so
unofficially, at all times when his assis
lance has been desired, will readily agree
with the givers of the testimonial that it
was well deserved. Mr.. Jernigan has
been but, comparatively speaking, a
short time in our midst, yet none of his
predecessors have discharged the mani
fold consular and judicial duties of the
office with greater promptness, fairness
and courtesy to all concerned. We hope
to see Mr.. Jernigan long amongst us and
we have much pleasure in publishing a
copy of the testimonial presented to him,
which is as follows;
1.-THE Missionaries Of the American
Protestant Churches in China, recogniz
ing the difficult and perplexing duties
devolving on the United States Consul
General during the war, and appreciat-
ing the readiness and promptness with
which Mr.. Jeruigan has at all times Civ
en- his aid and influence in furtherance
and protection of their interests, desire
to present to him this testimonial of their
sincere regard, and acknowledgment OF
bis unfailing courtesy and the unswery-
ing faithfulness with which he has up
held the honour of our country and its
Christian institutions"

He VIII Build a Casino aud Fifty
Houses on the Land he has Pur-
chased.
Postmaster H. Fl. Powell, Of Aber-
deem, who is in the city, says that Mr..
JAS W. Tufts, who made a fortune in
Boston manufacturing soda fountains,
has advertised for one hundred carpen-
tiers. For some days he has been en-
ploying rs to 100 hands getting ready
for building. He will at once erect fifty
houses and have them ready for occu-
pancy by the fall. 1t is his purpose to
erect in his town a casino, and to make
it a hustling town in every way.
Speaking of the productiveness of the
sand hill land Mr.. Powell said that a
few years ago a gentleman came to Alb
erdeen and bought some land at $40 an
acre, and set out some grape vines on it..
Later he sold a few acres to a new com
ing Northerner at 800 an acre. Every
body thought it could be truthfully
said of the second purchaser that "a fool
and his money soon parted" But last
year this second purchaser sold $500
worth of grapes off of one acre of the
land he had bought.
Il tell you," said Mr.. Powell, "you
have no idea of the development and
growth of Moore county until you are on
the spot and see it for yourself. It's the
most prosperous county in the State"
