RALEIGH, n. c., March 29.-An act of
the Legislature has been discovered in
the secretary of states office, without
doubt a ''snenked-in-bill,'' which is
far-reaching and damaging since no
debts can be preferred, by mortgage or
otherwise. 1t also prevents the bor-
rowing of money on mortgage, on real
estate or chattels, Or on crops by per-
son who is in debt to parties other than
the lender. 1t reads as follows:
An act to regulate assignments:
The general assembly of North Carolina do
enact: Section l. That all conditional sales
assignments, mortgages deeds in trust
which are executed TO secure any debt obi-
cation, note or bond which give preference to
any creditor of the maker shall be absolutely
vOid-as to existing creditors Sec. 2. That
AL laws in conflict with this act are hereby re-
pealed Sec. 3. That this act Shall be in force
from and after its ratification. Ratified 3-d
day of March 1895.
There is likely to be much trouble
growing out of transactions contrary
to the above made since the Bird day of
March, for this act was not known I'M
til yesterday.

POLICY OF VIGOROUS PATRIOTISM.
A Fine Bit of Sarcasm INDUCED at the
Expense of the President-Secretary
Gresham Comes in for His Share.

The New York Sun is one of the
brightes, as we'll as one of the most
sarcastic papers printed in this country.
1t hates Mr.. Cleveland and here is
what it terms the crowning act of. his
administration.
President Cleveland's policy of Wig
orous patriotism in regard to the ALI
anca affair, is tremendous popular
success. Everybody is pleased with it
except 1Ir. E. l.. Godkin, of the New
York Evening Post, and he is no
more an American than a cawing
crow is an eagle.
We congratulate the Administration
upon the first success which it has
ever achieved in its management of
the country's foreign affairs. The
secret Of it is no secret at all. The
policy SO suddenly and unexpectedly
adopted by the Department of State
may be summed up in two words:
Be American! The Sun has presented
this formula SO frequently to the atten
ton of Mr.. Cleveland and his extra
ordinary Secretary of State, that the
only wonder is that they got half way
through their term of Office before the
lesson was learned. We are not quar-
relling with their slowness of appre-
hension Our sole solictude is that
they shall live up to the standard now
established.
1t is no circumstance of no lasting
Significance that the Administration S
best and most praiseworthy deed
should have been done at a time
when the President was away shooting
ducks, and when the Secretary was in
capacitated by illness from attending
to the duties Of his office. 1t is all
very we'll to say that the American is
neither Grover Cleveland nor Walter
| @. Gresham, but Edwin F. Uhl, for
merlv of Ypsilanti. Whatever may be
the fact about the authorship of the
sharp notes of warning to the Govern
ment at Madrid, the historical view
will be precisely the same as if Mr..
Cleveland had not been shooting
ducks, and as if Mr.. Gresham had been
in the full enjoyment of his usual
health.
The caedit belongs to the Cleve-
/ land Administration. Mr.. Uhl may
have written the note to Madrid, but
Grover Cleveland appointed Uhl.

KENTUCKY POLITICS.
SECRETARY CARLISLE TO STEP
INTO THE ARENA.
Senator Blackburn to Oppose Him
An interesting and Exciting Contest
to be Waged-Everything in Prog
ress Looking to Opening One of the
Most Memorable Campaigns in the
History of the Blue Grass State.

FRANKFoRT, KY, March 3o.-The
Kentucky democrats are not waiting to
see what course the president may pur-
sue with regard to another inter
national monetary conference before
taking sides on the present aspect of
the silver question, but are already
dividing on the line of free coinage and
preparing for a most energetic state
campaign. Their convention for nom-
mating a full state ticket will be held
at Louisville in June, and although
there are local issues of enough impor-
tance to occupy them, and although
the republicans will endeavor to hold
them down to the local issues, the one
overshadowing national issue ID certain
to receive very great deal of atten-
tion at their hands, both before and
after the convention. Not improba bly,,
indeed, the complexion of the ticket
itself may depend upon the expression
as to silver embodied in the platform
adopted.
Unusual interest attaches to this con-
test by reason of the probable partici-
patton in it of Secretary Carlisle.
The matter has been made the subject
of good deal of discussion in the Ken
lucky newspapers, and now. as the
time draws near for a decision to be
reached, Mr.. Carlisle is being pressed
to accept an invitation for an early ap-
pearance in the arena. There is hope
that he may be able to improve an op-
portunity to be afforded him about the
middle of April when a rally of the
democratic clubs Of Louisville will take
place, and when he could address him
self to the whole political question,
state and national. An invitation to
attend this meeting is now in his hands
and if he decides to accept it his deliv-
erance on the occasion will attract
national attention. Some of the time
will have to be given to the financial
question, and this portion of the ad-
dress, will, of course, be accepted as
the voice of the administration calling
democrats to duty.
The Kentucky democracy is split in
twain on the silver question, and more
feeling exists than has ever appeared
in factional strife in the blue grass
state before. The anti-free coinage
sentiment is voiced by Secretary Car
Isle, Senator Lindsay and Henry Wat
terson. They are ticketed as gold
bugs and as the mouthpieces Of Wall
street. Behind them are the CONNER
cial bodies of the towns and cities, the
capitalists here and there engaged in
developing the resources of the state
and business men generally. This
faction is strong in talent and political
experience.
The Kentucky republicans, full of
confidence this year, will take the first
60. They will meet in May and make
their nomination and adopt their plat
form. AS far as possible, they will
keep local issues to the front.
