Louisburg Times: The trial
of civil cases has been going on
all this week. Yesterday the
cases of Spruill and others

committed suicide. AS we uns
derstand it the companies are re-
sisting payment on the grounds
that there was a clause in the
policies releasing them from las

the clause was still operative at
the time DIR. Spruill is alleged to
have killed himself. Later-Ver-

NATINoAL TARIFF CONVENTION.

A National Commercial Tariff
Convention will be held in De-
troit commencing June 2. 1t viii
be the first concerted effort ever
made to consider the tariff ques
ton Independently Of politics
The subjects to be acted upon a
the convention are;
First-The discussion of ways
and means for taking the tariff
question out of partisan politics
and making it a business ques
ton instead Of a ''political foot>
ball"
Second-The discussion Of
ways and means for the improve
ment of the Consular service OF
the United States aud the en-
pioyment OF such service for the
increasing Of our foreign trade,
especially with the Central ard
South American Republics.
Third-The advisability OF
recommending to Congress the
creation of a Department of Com
MERGE, Manufacturers and La
Dor, and Of making the chief of
such department a member of the
Presidents Cabinet.
Fourth-The ACCESSIBILITY of
forming a permanent organiza-
ton for the purpose of holding
annual conventions for the con-
sideration Of national questions
and of recommending to Cons
gress each year such changes in
our laws or in their administers
ton as may be deemed for the
best interest OF our country.
The Invitations to the convens
ton say that it will be non polit-
ical and non sectional, and that
all questions will be discussed
from a purely commercial stands
point. If this can be done and
the plans as outlined put into
execution, much practical benefit
will result, but all the questions
involved are so close akin to
partisan politics that it will be
found a very difficult matter to
prevent the convention from be-
ing diverted into a political
grindstone. It will doubtless
prove interesting to watch the
outcome Of the meeting.

silver. The theory is that with
free coinage of legal tender silver
the wages Of labor in this country
would DE paid in silver dollars
worth about half as much as gold
dollars, but the products of la
Dor, which would belong to the
employer, would be sold for gold
in the markets abroad, and that
the gold thus obtained could be
exchanged for silver at about the
ratio of 81 in gold for 50 in sill
yer; and thus the process would
go on, the employer getting gold
of full value and the laborer get
ting deprecated silver"

Settling the Silver Question.

''Down in Texas the other day the
financial question was settled in few
minutes" said a Texas Representative
to a Star" reporter. 'tIt was at a
meeting of the Republican Congress
sional Convention of my district and
the delegates were largely of a dusky
hue. The colored delegates heard there
had been some talk about the coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of Is to l,
but they didn't know what it was all
about. The majority of them seemed to
think that it meant sixteen more dollars
for every man in the future where there
is one now, and they were heartily in
for the passage Of resolutions favoring
the free coinage of silver and gold. IT
happened, however, that there was
present well-posted white man, who
wanted the resolutions of the conven-
ton to correspond with the Republican
doctrine as expounded by other con-
ventions on the subject, but he didn't
know exactly how to do it. His time
came in a few minutes.
"'Gemmen OBJ de convenshun,' said
one of the colored delegates, I'm some
whut disposed ter favor de free coin
age question. If it will glib us more
money, den I'm fur it, tooth, hand
toe-nail horse and hide. It's jest whut
we need. De colud race hab never had
deir portion Of de spondu.ix dats
manufactured in Washington. But be-
fo' we pass desc resolutions let us heer
from our friend ober dere.'
That was the opportunity the white
leader wanted.
"I'll tell you, fellow Republicans he
said, what all this means. This free
coinage matter is scheme of the
Democrats to take everything away
from the negro and give it all to the
white man. Sixteen to one, my friends
means nothing more nor less than
sixteen dollars for the white man and
one for the negro, sixteen for the Demo-
crat and and one for the Republican,
There was conmotion following
this speech, and the convention unani-
mously voted down the free coinage

vengeance on the Democrats. Wash
