but would never have made of it
such grand poetical applications.
For If Lord Bacon, as Pope calls
him, the "wisest, brightest, mean
est Of mankind" had been this great
poet, he would have given us besides
the Shakespearian drama some
thing poetical about the manners
and customs of the court of his time.
But the few limos of poetry which
we truly know to have been produc-
ed by him are miserable pedautic
cbattering.
1t is also confirmed by every psy-
chologist that as mean aud con
temptible character as Bacon
could never have been the author of
this sublime poetry of creation
that breathes forth the breath of
the very highest. There has lately
appeared an article by Eugene
Reichel, in which the statesman.
Lord Chancellor Bacon, is denied
the authorship of "Novum Organ
um." Here it would now be Tor us
to assert that Bacon, siuce he was
so intimate with Shakespeare, is for
his philosophy indebted to the great
poet,

would vote for Bryan. The stupidity
Of such a claim is apparent. There
were more democrats voting for
Mckinley than republicans voting
for Bryan or the would-b leaders

THE BOND BILL SUBSTITUTE
The Committee Recommends that
House Do Not Concur.

Washington, Feb. 4-Mr. Dingley,
chairman of the Ways and Means com
mittee, to-day reported back the Sen
ate free coinage substitute for the
House bond bill with the recommenda-
tion that the House non-concur ana
insist on it's bills.
Mr. Crisp, representing the minority,
gave notice that the minority would
ask the House to concur. The report
will be called up tomorrow and the
debate will run for two days with
night session.
The House spent to-day, as it did
yesterday, debating series Of amend
ments offered by Mr.. Hainer (Rep.,
Nebraska) to strike from the District
of Columbia appropriation bill the APP
preparations for private and sectarian
institutions of charity in the District
and place the money proposed to be
apDropriated for them at the disposal
Of the Board of Children's Guardians.
Much feeling was engendered and at
times the debate grew quite exciting.
The appropriations for six religious
charitable institutions, one Episcopal
and five Catholic, were stricken out but
the appropriations for other private
institutions, including the Young Wo-
mans Christian Home, the Hope and
Help Mission, etc, were defeated.
After the committee Of the whole
reported the bill to the House separate
votes were demanded on all the amend
ments adopted and they will be first
in order tomorrow.

TO INVESTIGATE THE SOUTHERN
South Carolina Legislature Passes
Good Railroad Laws.

Columbia, s. c., Feb. I'm the House
tonight a bin was passed whereby all
railroads which refuse TO put in effect
the rates rs promulgated by the State
Railroad Commission shall forfeit
their charters. After hard fought
fight an amendment was inserted al
lowing them to appeal to the courts
when they consider any rate unjust
and unreasonable, but until the matter
is adjusted by the courts, the rates
must be enforced
A resolution was introduced looking
to the appointment of a joint commit
tee of the Senate and House to in
vestigate the status Of the Southern
Railway in this State, in accordance
with the recommendation of Governor
Evans. The object of the Investigation
is TO prevent the Southern from oper-
ating certain lines i'm the State, which,
under different management, might
be competing roads. The resolution
went over for consideration.

1t Met in Annual Session at Washington
Yesterday.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 4.-The Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union met here to-day at the Ma
tional Hotel Each State is entitled to
from one to two delegates, and nearly
every State is represented. j. F. VIII
let's, of Kansas, is president of the
Alliance, and D. =. Duncan, Of South
Carolina, secretary. While the leaders
Of the Alliance have long held that the
organization is non-political, it is un-
derstood that great pressure is being
brought TO bear to have a resolution
adopted which will bring the Alliance
as body into the financial fight.
AS the National Alliance is supposed
to reflect the feelings and sentiments
of the farmers of the country, the met
ing is of interest. 1t is claimed by del
egates that the Alliance is stronger
than ever before in its history; that it
is in fine shape as well asin numerical
strength.
While the sessions are conducted be-
hind closed doors and the delegates are
instructed to maintain secrecy. many
joining forces in the coming elections
with an Independent party, made up of
the silyerites and the Populists. They
say the farmers of the country should
vote so as best to support the princi-
pies of the Alliance, with governmental
issue of currency the key note of
their faith" and free silver the next.
The session to-day was mainly prelim-
mary. After the usual committee ap-
pointments, an invitation was present
ed from the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency to appear before
that body and confer with its members,
probably tomorrow. j. w. Willets, II.
L. Loucks. S. Oak; Mann Page, Va; G.
II. White, n. Y; and f. NJ. Wardell, Cal.
A business session was held this af-
ternoon, at which the annual address
of the president and the report of
Secretary Duncan were read.
The election of officers will take place
tomorrow.

TFE LARGEST CIRCULATION OFF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY

mitment will come up under the rules
tomorrow.
A sharp contest occurred at o'clock
between the Senators favorable to ad-
vancing the appropriation bills and
those desiring to take up general leg
islation. The latter element prevailed
in two test votes, and the right OF way
was secured by the resolution of Mr..
Dubois, of Idaho, to reform the method
of considering appropriation bills by
distributing them among the several
committees. This was strenuously re-
sisted by the friends of the Appropria-
tion committee, ,whocontended that the
change was revolutionary and design
ed to dismantle the committee. The
final vote was not reached, but it was
evident from the debate and incidental
votes that majority favored the
change.
