1.-THE TWO CLOSED DOORS.o

The Tent Service Sunday Night-Fif-
teen Professions.
The service at the tent Sunday night
was perhaps the best one yet held,
Notwithstanding the rain prevented
the Evangelist from finishing his SER
mon.
The tent was crowded and the after
meeting reminded one of the old time
camp-meeting. A number of people
got happy and they gave vent to their
feelings by shouting aloud. Fifteen
professed faith in Christ.
"The Two Closed Doors" was the
subject of the able discourse. The
two topics were "The Door of the
Heart Closed Against Christ" and
1.-THE Door Of Heaven Closed Against
the Sinner"
The Evangelist made a short talk
before he announced his subject. He
said two remarkable services had
already been held that day-one at the
tent for men and one at Centenary
church for women Said he wanted to
see few more white ribbons pinned
on ladies tonight.
He had been in the Evangelistic
work 9 years but had never Oeen in a
meeting where there was more unaml
nifty than was shown at the tent when
he asked all who were opposed to open
bar-rooms to stand up. Out Of about
1000 men only about SO kept their
seats. He said the Leagues and W.
G. T. U. could sweep North Carolina.
A number of ladies stood up, there
by promising to join the w. Q. T. U
here.
He said no girl ought to go with a
young man who refused to join the
anti-Saloon League; that he had
rather live and die good and happy
old maid than to marry man who
drinks.
The Evangelist said he loved Win
ston; that the people had been very
kind to him. He will begin meet
ing in Charlotte on the second Sun
day in October. He has also been in
vited to hold meeting in Raleigh.

The Presidents Civil Service Order
Retains Covington.
The publication concerning assis-
tant district attorneys, in connection
with the civil service law, has at
tracted wide attention. Says the
Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch: The test was
made Friday in the case of Spencer
Blackburn, recommended for assistant
attorney for the Western North Caro-
lima district.
Mr.. Covington the incumbent has
not resigned, and Friday the Attorney
General declined to appoint Mr..
Black burn, holding that the ipcum-
bent cannot be removed, under Presi-
dent McKinley's order of August 18th
without cause. The matter was re-
ferred to Assistant Attorney General
Boyd, who prepared an elaborate Opir-
ion, maintaining that the Presidents
order was not applicable to this class
of appointments, but the Attorney
General does not concur in the opin-
| ion.
1.-The Presidents order will control
all appointments in the Department

eral until revoked

of maledictions against the blunder OF

The announcement Of the Democratic
| members Of the Senate committee that
they nre not willing that the tariff bill
| should be reported to the Senate before
they have an opportunity to discuss it
IN committee, and the discovery that
Senator Jones of Nevada, who ased to
be Republican but became a Populist
some time ago on the silver issue, holds
the balance of power in the committee,
and that he can hold back the bill about
as long as he pleases are not propitious
indications for the early passage of the
Dingley tariff bill. Probably the Demo
cratic mbers of the committee would
be contsnt with a reasonable time for
discussion and would not be inclined to
hold up unduly the bill on their own &C.
count. The idea of the Democrats has
boon that the passage of the bill will
enure TO their advantage, and thence
the sooner it passes the sooner will they
begin to reap the benefit OF it. But
they would probably feel bound to assist
Jones, if Jores asked it, and so the
vital question is this attitude of Jones.
The telegraph intimates that Jones is
willing to vote to report the bill provided
be gets some concessions. What those
concessions are is not intimatad. Per-
haps he wants free silver rider tackled
onto theibill, though that is hardly prob
able. What he desires most likely is an
increase of DUTY on some western product
in which his constituents are specially
interested. and as he holds the bill In his
grip it is difficult to see how his demand
can be refused without putting the entire
measure in jeopardy. If Jones were all
the western Senator who would want
concessions perhaps he could be satisfied
without doing the bill any very serious
damage. But 1T is greatly to be feared
that there are many others who will
make demands besides Jones, after the
bill gets into the Senate, and whom it
will be just as dangerous to refuse as it
is Jones. and that before all the neces-
sary concessions are made the bill will
be amended very much for the worse
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that at this
juncture the Senate has no rules and
does not contain a straight Republican
majority, for by reason of the first con-
dition the bill can be held up Indefinite
ly by few men and by reason ct the
second the Republicans can be compelled
to choose between granting many con-
csssions and making many changes of
which they do not approve, or passing
no tariff bill at all.
