EDITORIAL NOTES,

Mrs. Lille D. Blake, of New York,
addressed the members of the General
assembly at the Capitol Friday after,
noon. She advocates the doctrine OF
wuman suffrage, and made an ingenlus
argument.
Gen. Rufus Barringer died at his
home in Charlotte last Monday. DE
wss 70 years old. Gen. Barringer took
a conspicuous part In the late war. He
has since been prominent in public
affairs, was a lawyer of ability and
prudent business man, In his death
the State sustains a great loss.
Our readers will kindly overlook the
absence of a considerable amount OF
matter this week-editorial, newsstand
correspondence. We have handled
such of the proceedings of the National
Alliance as are made public, the memo
risI address and the legislature. To dc
this, much other matter had to be
emitted.
9Ihe Senate has made a start in the
right direction by cutting down the
salaries of the railroad commissioners
from 50 coo to 81, 500. The salaries OF
some other State and county officials
n. ght be reduced. Large salaries must
COMO down in proportion to price of
fam products. This will tend to bring
politicians to their nses Let the
good work go on.
We began the publication of the
State Business Agency price list and
oEher matter relating to the business
DEPARTMENT of our organization last
week. The matter was imperfect as to
arrangement and quantity, but pre-
sznts a better appearance this week.
It - proper to say that the State Bust
ness Agent is not responsible for most
OF the imperfections, as they are caused
by our inability to get such a large
amount Of small type and figures in
the paper in one week. But these diff
cgl,ies will be mastered and the price
t.st will be of great interest to our
readers.

THE GREAT BLIZZARD.

For several days the weather has
been ''Cut of the banks, so to speak.
In the North the cold was extreme,
accompanied by a heavy fall of snow.
Business was suspended and trains
could not run. In some places the
thermometer registered 80 degrees be-
low zero. It extended all over the
South. Snow fell at New Orleans and
in Florida for the first time in years.
The cold reached zero at Atlanta.
Four above zero was the lowest at Raj
eigh, being two degrees colder than
the coolest weather during the winter
of SO. Great damage has been done
to Strawberries and truck crops all
over the South, but, of course the loss
is not rs great as would be caused by
cold weather later in the season. There
has been much suffering among human
beings and animals.

SEAWELL.

We congratulate young friend,
Herbert f. Seawell, of Moore county,
in his successful fight for the office Of
Solicitor of the Seventh Judicial dis
trict, to which he was elected by a
handsome majority. His political OPP
ponents tried to turn him down, but
his young manhood asserted itself and
victory and right at length prevailed.
Herbert, who is now the youngest So
licitor In the State, is the son of that
staunch Allianceman, DR.. Y. N. Sea
well, who, it may be remembered, was
dubbed the Cyclone Alliance organi-
zer'' by Col. Polk. While yet in his
teens, young Herbert was assistant to
his father in organizing the State of
Virginia and placing her in the ALI
ance column, and although a youth,
many a gray-haired veteran in that
State was charmed with his youthful
eloquence and natural Oratory. 1t was
in this way he laid the foundation for
the prominence he is making in his
profession. Like his father, he is un-
wavering in his devotion to the cause
of reform. The father, DR.. s., has en-
dured much on account of his adher-
ence to the reform cause. For his zeal
in the Alliance cause he excited the ire
an dvenom of the bourbons in his coun-
ty and many and ridiculous were the
~slanderous falsehoods perpetrated upon
him through hatred of the Alliance.
So outrageous did these become that
the Doctor at last sought redress
through the courts, but with a Demo
cratic Judge and Democratic counsel
on both sides, and all other attaches of
the court of the same complexion, what
could a man expect9 Nothing. The
Doctor, however, thoroughly Vindi-
Gated his own character of the foul
charges and proved an unsullied char
acter, even by his traducers. We hope
the son may not have to endure what
the father has for the sake of honest
opinion.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.


We have published platforms and
editorials showing what the people
want time and again. Below are some
of the changes wanted, and the atten
ton Of our legislators, regardless OF
party, is again called thereto:
First. A new and honest election
law.
Second. A six per cent. interest law,
with sufficient penalties and no loop
holes.
Third. At least four months free
schools for both races annually.
Fourth. Effective anti trust laws and
solicitors and judges who will see that
they are enforced.
Fifth. A State reformatory for the
reformation of youthful criminals.
Sixth. A complete change In tne
present county government system
either repeal or radical modification:
Seventh. Steps to wipe out the ID.
famous homestead law, the father OF
the diabolicaI chattel mortgage system
ana a eomolete business and credit de-
moralizer.
Eighth. Either repeal or enforce the
present State income tax laW.
Ninth. Appoint a Code Commission
with enough common sense and legal
honesty combined to simplify and
shorten the Code so ordinary minds
can understand it. By SO doing the
Supreme Court will not split into two
three factions, for there will be
fewer knotty cases to decide.
Tenth. Reduce expenses, lop off fees
wherever practicable, and follow the
golen rule in everything. The gen.
tlemen who forget to carry out the
wishes of the people will be requested
to keep off the grass hereafter.

A RECENT WRINKLE.

The latest wrinkle in the shoe line in this part of the country is going to be worked by Drennen & Co.,, the mammoth general merchants of this city who do big business with the country and labor trade. They have ordered from the J. B. Lewis company of Boston a large con- signment of shoes. Each shoe will be numbered and with each shoe, corre spondingly numbered, goes an accident insurance policy of $1oO. The customer pays $3 for a pair of shoes and gets with it this policy. which guarantees him S1OO indemnity if he gets hurt within three months after the purchase of the shoes, which are guaranteed to last that time, so that two birds are killed with one stone-the purchaser is liable to be out of shoes and insurance policy about the of both. The insurance policies are is- sued by an insurance company, with whom the J. B. Lewis company has contract to that end, and will be directly responsible for loss on the same. Dren- nen & Co. say they are going to adVer- tise the scheme very extensively, and hope, for the furtherance of trade, that the first man to buy pair of shoes will get hurt, so as to receive the $100 on the insurance policy and help the project. It is decidedly the most novel scheme ever introduced in this city, although Birmingham is by no means behind the world in such matters, and bids fair to fill the mines, furnaces and farms in Jeff ferSon county with the $3 shoe of the J. B. Lewis company.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Dec. 21.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton fell 24 to 25 points, then rallied and closed very steady at net de- cline of l8 to IA points, with sales of PCT 600 bales. Liverpool declined 3-32d on the spot, with sales of 5000 bales. Futures there de- clined to 51z points, closing unsettled.
 Today's features:. Of course the great disturbing factor today was the political and financial situation, aud to this may be attributed the sharp decline. Liverpool was lower. and there was heavy liquidation here for local and out of town account. The Liverpool decline was unexpectedly severe. As far as the situation here in New York is concerned there is an under current of strength because of the continued small re- ceipts at the ports and the interior towns and the belief that whether hostilities break out or not Great Britain will be compelled to buy very heavily during, the next few months to replenish its stocks. which arc believed to be still at a low stage. At the moment, however, the immediate future Is clouded by apprehensions of unfavorable political and financial development.

Tn Wall Street.

New York, Dec. 21.-The action of the senate yesterday in passing the bill for the formation of tho Venezuelan commission led to heavy selling again this morning. and this. with forced sales by the local opera tors. led to sharp break in prices at the opening. Blocks of stocks for the account of out of town operators, who were unable to respond to the calls for margins, were thrown overheard for anything they would bring, and this added to the feeling of un- eaSiness because there was no way of knowing whether the brokers handling the various deals had been involved President C1evelandS message on finances sent to con- gross did not have the favorable effect on the market at the start that was looked for in certain quarters. In fact, in the first hour prices broke anywhere from 10 to 13 points, and as yesterday there were no signs of supporting orders in any direction. Cor dage guaranteed scored the banner loss
 selling down l3 points. from 20 to 12. The failure of L. H. Taylor x Co. of Phladel- phia, who have connections in this city and the suspension of Hatch Brothers and H. K. Burras & Co. of the local stock exchange were announced in the order named, and this accelerated the downward movement. After the early slump a steadier tone set in, and on buying for investment account, as well assfor the purpose of covering short contracts, a rally of 1Q5 per cent followed. London firms were buyers in moderate way. The impression is that the bulk of the trading for this account was for the pur- pose of covering short contracts put out at higher figures. The recovery In the market was taken advantage of by weakened hold CTS to sell, and in the last hour new low rec ords were made for a number of the leading issues. At this time Rock Island sold down
 to 59, Pullman Palace to li6 Manhattan to 97, Jersey Central to 93 and Lackawanna to 145 all the lowest of the week. The close was feyerish with operators rather anxious as to the course of the sterling exchange market and the gold movement next week. It was generally agreed that this is the key to the situation. Reports were current of in formal meetings of bank presidents and Of the likelihood of the closing of the stock
