Rocky Mount, n. c., Oct. %. (spe-
ciaD the last session OF the North
Carolina conference. a committee of
ministers and laymen was appointed
to devise a plan for the ownership and
control Of a paper to be published as
an organ for the North Carolina and
Western North Carolina conferences
of the NJ. r. church South What ac-
ton the Western North Carolina con-
ference will take cannot be known
before it's session. which is TO be in
Salisbury, Nov. 18. Should the two
conferences fail to cooperate in the
publication of joint organ, the North
lish an organ of its own. The COM
Carolina conference will then estab-
lish an organ of it's own. The com
mittee from the North Carolina con-
ference met in this place yesterday
They have been securing such inform
alton as they will need for the accom-
plishment of either plan, and expect to
have recommendations fully matured
by the meeting of their conference
as Kinston, Dec. 9.
They adjourned last night at eleven
o'clock to meet in Salisbury, Nov. 18.
The committee is instructed to provide
if possible for one paper for North Car
olina Methodism. AS this is de-
pendent upon the action of the West
ern North Carolina conference, and
also upon the willingness of the own
ers of the North Carolina Christian
Advocate to sell, and at such price and
terms as the two conferences may
agree to, no prediction can be made as
to the result. 1T may result in anoth-

MOORE IN MARTIN COUNTY.

Democrats Hopeful, and Populists De-
nounce Ayers Betrayal of Silver.
Plymouhtk N. c., Oct. 22.-(Spe-
cial)-Owing to a misapprehension on
the part of the local committee scarce
lv any notice of the speaking to-day
was given. Nevertheless, good sized
audience warmly greeted Hon. James
II. Moore, of Martin county, and they
heard a splendid argument for Bryan
and free Silver. Mr.. Moore is one of
the original free silver men of the
State, and he has long been a leader
in the First Congressional district.
His speech to-day was a mastery pre-
sentataion of the silver cause. 1t was
clear, concise, succinct, and argument
ative. He dwelt upon the fact that
the gold standard is based upon a
dollar which is no longer coined. His
apt and striking illustrations carried
conviction to his hearers. Many col
ored people were present, and listen
ed more attentively than usual to a
Democratic speaker. Many of them
admit that free silver is best for them,
but they dread the coercion of their
race Mr.. Moore severely arraigned
the present election law, particularly
those clauses which premit the regis
tration of illegal voters. He absolVed
the Populist members o the legislature
of any cognizance of this corrupt feat
ure of the law. Yet he said that they
had been grossly deceived by Russell,
Holton and Company into enacting
a law which permits these gigantic
frauds. He aptly characterized this
law as an 'act to facilitate frauds in
in elections"
Another baneful result of fusion, he
said. arose from the much vaunted
non-partisan judiciary which made it
possible for northern capital to place
a law on the statute books without
its passage by the legislature. BY
nefarious means the assignment act
of 1895 has become a law.
He referred to the fusion nominees
in this Senatorial district as men who
shout for Bryan, and who, if elected,
will vote for gold bug Pritchard. They
may not have seen Hanna" he said,
but some of Hanna's little squirtees
must have seen them" The speech
accomplished much good, and has
thoroughly enthused the Democracy
of Washington. Fusion between the
Democrats and Populists has been ac-
eomplished in this county and an adj
verse majority of about 500 two years
ago will be reduced to 300.
Gaylard and Thompson, the Dem
ocratic nominees for he Senate in
this district, will be elected, for the
Democrats have also made large gains
in Hyde and Tyrrell, and have held
their own in the other counties. Mark
Hanna and Pritchard are at discount
down here.
Many are condemning the action of
Hal Aver for his betrayal of the silver
cause, in fighting fusion with the
Democrats. They think that Hender-
sons withdrawal is the milk in the
cocoanut, and that he has got his
fish bait" The rank and file of the
Populist party cannot be sold out by
their leaders in any such manner, and
the action of the Populist committee
will gain many votes for Democracy
in this section.

Few Know About the Shakers
An interesting, Fearing People
Who Have Given the World Many
Important Discoveries.

We may not accept their peculiar
religious beliefs nor can we enter into
the spirit of their sacrifices. 1t is nee
essary to believe as they do, but we
can and do respect their sincerity of
purpose and the honor and upright
ness which marks all their business
dealings.
The Shakers have always been sue
cessful inventors. and some of the
greatest of the conveniences of the
present. day found origin in their set
Elements.
In one particular they excel all
other men or classes of men, and that
is in cultivation of medicinal herbs
and plants and their preparation for
use. They have made it a study for
more than one hundred years. 1t is
one of their peculiar industries. Their
lives have been devoted to it.
Thir latest and greatest achieve
ment is the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is not offered as a cure for all dis
eases. 1t does not pretend to be, but
one disease it will cure, and that is
indigestion.
Sufferers who resort to it's use have
not long to wait to see the result. The
effect is almost immediate. The first
dose usually gives relief and if con-
tinued permanent cure viii follow.
1t not only contains already digest
ed food, but it digests food as well,
thus toning up the general system. An
interesting pamphlet is now being is
sued by the Shakers and can be had
for the asking at almost any drug
store.

gestiye Cordial and see what it will do
for you.

CUNNING POLITICAL PREACHERS

"A cunning politician often turks un-
der the clerical robe; things spiritual
and temporal are strangely jumbled
together like drugs on an apothecary
shelf: and the seeker after righteous
ness has often political pamphlet
thrust down his throat, labeled with a
pious text from Scripture. "-Knicker-
bocker's History of New York.
The same state of affairs seems to
hold in New York to-day as in Mr..
Irving's time. Let such preachers re-
member that people to-day have just
as much contempt for their methods
as Mr.. Irving had.-North Carolina

THE po1xGs OF CONGRESS-.

1t has come to be an accepted say
ing that no one can tell what congress
will do. This saying seems as applicable
today as ever. Everybody is asking
what congress will do, but no one can
answer.
The present session is a short one. 1t
Will be but a few days before the
usual adjournment for the holidays
will take place, and then but two
months will remain. Already the
question of complete tariff revision is
coming into prominence and Will be
urged. 1t is evident since the president
sent in his message that he will not
approve the Dingley bill if it is sent
10 him. The duration of the present
session makes any general tariff legis-
latiOn impossible, while emergency
revenue bills are hardly probabilities.
There is the question of currency
Time devoted to it, in any form other
than that indicated in the presidential
message, will most likely be time
thrown away.
Then there is the Cuban question
which is certain to be very prominent
and consume more or less time, most
probably more than less.
The outlook for anything substantial
in the way of legislation is anything
but encouraging. While everything at
present indicates that there viii be
much agitation OF the country over
the doings of congress. This will re-
tard any prospective return of con-
fidence and prosperity. This session
of congress accomplishing nothing, an
extra session is almost inevitable, and
that in turn is apt to make confusion
worse COMPOUNDED. The day of the
return of prosperity now seems as I'M
certain and far off as the day of the
return of the Ten Tribes.

LILIoUKALANrs VISIT.

The eX-queen of the Hawaiian is
lands has suddenly appeared in San
Francisco. The object of her visit to
this country is not definitely known.
though it is surmised that her object
is to see President Cleveland and to
make a last appeal to him for aid. If
this is her object she will not accom-
plish anything. Had the president in
tended TO do anything in her behalf
it would have been done long ago.
The revolution in Hawaii whereby
that country was transformed from
kingdom into a republic is a closed
incident, so fer as the United States
are concerned. While the American
people are divided in their opinion as
to the justifiableness of the methods
whereby President Dole came TO sue
coed Queen Lilioukalani, they would
condemn any attempt on the part of
the government to replace the de-
posed queen upon her throne. For her
as q woman they have a great deal of
sympathy, but it Will never become
active in her behalf
The political destiny of the Hawaiian
islands is not yet determined They
may remain a republic, or they may be
annexed with the consent of the Deo-
pie, by some country. but they will
never again become a kingdom with
a native monarch. The restoration OF
the Indians to the control of this coun-
try is quite as likely to happen as the
restoration Of Lilioukalani. The
stronger race won at Honolulu and the
stronger race win continue to domi-
nate at Honolulu. If Liloukalani has
any political mission to this country
she would better give up all idea of
carrying it out before she leaves the
Pacific coast.

Of S6,000.000 a year to its interest. And,
further, while this increase of debt has
been piled upon the country, the abil-
ity to pay has been lessened, and that
England has clothed with rotten
shoddy the people that wore good
American wool: American factories
have been idle. while British factories
have run by night and by day; the
purchasing and earning power of our
own people has been Iessened, While
their obligations to foreign money
loaners have been multiplied.
This wonderful year 1892 is always
chosen as the hating place for the
prosperity that our Republican friends
are never weary of telling about. But
the deficits that occurred from July l,
1892, to August /. 1894, all occurred
while the Mckinley law was in force.
That law was Republican measure.
The deficit under it for the fiscal year
1892 was 81, 766. 1914. and for the year
1894, it was S72, 325. AS. The deficit under
The Wilscn-Go law for 1855 was
Si6,55S, 9O9, and for 1896 it was s2S.5IS,-
GIL This shows that in two years the
deficit under the Wilson, orman law
was only s., 044, 13S more than under the
Mckinley law for the last two years
it was in force.
While the revenue under the Wilson
German law has been inadequate, yet
everybody knows that Mr.. Cleveland
made the bond sales to keep up the
gold reserve And more than 100000
American voters firmly believe that the
great trouble back of all is the fact
that silver was demonetized in 1873. 1t
is that fact which has lessened the
ability of the people to pay; it is that
fact which has driven prosperity from
the land. Restore it, and the country
will hear less of hard times.

WILL VENEZUELA PROTEST.

There are indications that Venezuela
feels sighted, if not actually insuItcd,
by the arrangements entered into by
the United States and Great Britain
concerning the Venezuelan boundary
if a Caracas dispatch to the New York
Herald NAV be relied on.
The objection to the arbitration ar
rangement is that Venezuela is prac-
tically ignored. This can hardly be the
case. as neither this government nor
her majesty's would have proceeded
so far as TO enter into definite arrange
ments without the full consent ard
concurrence of the country most di-
rectly interested. In his message Pres
ident Cleveland states that all is sat
isfactOry
If there were anything in this Ca
racas dispatch really worth any serious
consideration the very interesting
question whether the United States had
assumed a orotectorate over Vene-
zuela would Immediately arise.
That was the view assumed by
some of the English papers. but the
Washington government distinctly dis
avowed any such purpose. Probably
the most that could be claimed by any
one disposed 10 take this view would
be that the United States had extended
protection 70 Venezuela. which is a
very different thing from placing it
under a Drotectorate.
1t is not at all likely that Venezuela
will protest against the arrangements
entered mo. She would be protesting
against her own interests.

DEBT AND REVENUE.

Every effort is being made by the
protectionists to secure tariff lesisla-
ton. and in behalf of their plans they
are urging the fact that the govern
ments revenue is INADEQUATE to its
expenditures.
The Chicago Inter Ocean gives q
summary of the national debt from the
close of the war in 1865 u9 to and in
Guiding July 1. 1892. Then it says
that in that year the people grew
tired of doing well and resolved to do
better, and so elected Cleveland and a
Democratic congress, and that the re-
suit is not only a cessation of diminu-
ton of the national debt, but an addi-
ton of s2s2,eOo,OOO to its principal and
