Passed before Adjournment.
Washington, July 28.-The last ses-

interesting events. In addition to the

In the closing hours and the spectators
who thronged the galleries were treated
to a continuous, if not very brilliant,
fusilade of oratory for several hours.
The house recessed until after the
senate had adopted the conference re-
port and one minute and thirty seconds
after the house reconvened the en-
crossed bill was signed and on it's way
to the president. The demonstrations
which marked these events were spon-
taneous and enthusiastic in the ex-
treme. The galleries played signif-
cant part in them.
When the presidents message came
In recommending the creation Of cur
rency commission it was answered by
the republican leaders with great
promptitude. BY means of special
order the Stone bill, introduced some
days ago, with the approval of the adj
ministration, was brought to a vote
after an hours debate. Considerable
feeling was manifested on both sides.
There were some sharp exchanges and
some bitterness was displayed. When
the vote was taken the republicans pre-
scented an unbroken front with two ex-
eeptions, Mr.. Linney, of North Caro-
lima, and Mr.. Mahany, Of New York,
who voted with the opposition against
the bill, which was passed by vote of
IRA to 90. AS the final act of the session

Estimates of Coming Revenues.
According to the most conservative
estimates of the revenue to be produced
by the new law, the total will exceed
the amount raised in the last year of
the Wilson bill by at least $3o,oOO,OoO
This, too, in spite of the fact that the
revenue-producing powers of the new
law will be seriously crippled by the
anticipatory importations of the last
three or four months. The chemical
schedule of the new law, it is expected,
will produce revenue to the amount of
S6,695,0O0. In 1896, under the Wilson
law, 1t brought only $500, 900 Tin round

ware schedule is counted upon
for $9,741,Ooo. while under the Will
son law in 1896 it brought $7,9O0,0OO
Schedule G, metals and manufactures
of metals, is expected to produce $17,-
100000, while in 1896 the amount was
only $13,3oo,0O0. The lumber schedule,
it is anticipated, will produce So, 400 600.

Even with the enormous anticipatory

mate, $3s,oo0,ooo, as against $20, 100000
under the Wilson law in 1896. A more
liberal estimate places the prospective

SILVER AND DOLLAR WHEAT.

Why has wheat gone to a dollar a
bushel2 Because our competitors in
India, Argentine and other silver us
ing countries have failed to make a
crop this year. They have a complete
failure of croIs-a famine. If they had
made good crop this year then our
American wheat farmers would have
sold wheat this year cheaper than ever
before. The silver using countries have
a hundred per cent advantage over the
farmer in gold standard country.
There is no hope for US to get good
price except when the silver countries
fail to make crop-that is, as long as
we stay on the gold standard. Give
the American farmer the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and he will
get a good price for wheat every year
He will get good price even when In
dia makes a good crop. Let the gold
bugs answer this if they can.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, q receptacle FOX
the urine, and as such it is not liable
to any form of disease except by
ono or two ways. The first way ID
from imperfect action of the kidneys.
The second way is from careless
local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chef cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for the pur-
pose, and il not doctored too much
il not liable to weakness or disease,
except IN rare cases. Il is situated
back of and very close to the bladder.
therefore any pain, disease or incon-
venience manifested in kidneys,
back. bladder or urinary passage is
often, by mistake, attributed 20 f.
male weakness or womb trouble OF
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To
find out correctly. set your urine
aside for twenty hours; Sediment

AN IDEA WORTH CONSIDERING.

In another column will be found q
letter from Mr.. John A. Sims, chief
clerk of the auditors office, in reply to
a criticism of the News and Observer.
Read it, it speaks for itself. The very
timely suggestions made by Mr.. Sims
for improving the jury system, would
be worth trying, even if it resulted in
one particular improvement. 1t is
this, many q man is dragged before
court on false charge made against
him in the grand jury. The court
promptly dismisses the case for want
of sufficient evidence, and often for
want of any evidence that can be pro-
dncsd in court. This is not only an
expense, but the great evil is the
charge done to mans character.
There is now a chance and q tempta-
tion to a mans enemies to make false
charges and statements to a grand
jury to get that body to bring in bill
of Indictment. Then for the remain
der of that mans life, (though he be
innvc nt) his enemies damage him by
circulating-th that he was
at one time indicted by the grand
jury. There is meat in Mr.. Sims sug-
gestions.

TOO SOON.

The Southern railroad runs a train
leaving Raleigh at 2 o'clock a. m. and
getting to Greensboro, 80 miles away,
six or seven hours later, including q
stop Of one hour at Durham, to while
away the time. The Seaboard Air
Line has train, getting to Raleigh 40
minutes after 2 O'Clock, and as this
misconnestion inconvenienced the
travelling public and their petition to
the Southern" to let it's train leave 20
minutes later, were treated with the
usual contempt by the officials Of that
road. Application was made to the
Railroad Commission to compel
this accommodation as it had ample
power to do. The demand was
reasonable and the Railroad Com
mission made the order.
In our last issue, we congratulated
the public that the Railroad Commits
sion had at last shown some little cour.
age. We were too previous.
When the order was made, Col. A. B.
Andrews, vice-President etc, who il
Pierport Morgan's & Rothchilds' over.
seer for North Carolina, was not in
Raleigh. On his return, he walked
into the room of the Railroad Commits
sion and told them that he would have
none Of that, to repeal that order. He
did not have the overseer's traditional
bull-whip around his burly form, but
none the less he was understood and
Obeyed. The Commissioners meekly,
and even with alacrity repealed the
order, and the travelling public again
he over at Raleigh. A year ago, these
Commissioners reduced passenger
rates a pitiful a cent per mile, but
they promptly took it back when Nor
gan's overseer told them they
must.
Now why did Andrews object to An
order for the train to leave Raleigh 20
minutes later, when it had 6 or Z hours
to idle away in going 80 miles and lay
over an heur besides in Durham to
kill time. Was it wantonness or apure
cussedness"? Not exactly. But he
had been running North Carolina, its
governors and politics for too many
years, and he did not now propose to
let any little Railroad Commission
give him orders. He was the big over.
seer and they must take their orders
from him..
Besides his system" has q grudge
against the Seaboard, and he did not
want the latter accommodated.
But the public is horribly inconven-
fenced by this. Yes. the publio-but

bilt, and oil railroad overseers.applaud
the sentiment.
We were too soon in oongratulating
the Commission on shaving . little

FEDYRAL COUBfs GROWING DAM
0EROUS.

UA0OOSe
In another column will be found
an account of the railroads getting
an Injunction from the Federal
Courts to prevent "ticket scalpiug. y
For the last two or three years the
railroad corporations have had .
lobby at Washington trying to pass
what is known as the anti scalping
bill. At the last session of Congress
they made q desperate eff TT to got
the Committee on Interstate Com
MERGE to report this bill, and they
came within one vote of succeeding.
1t seems that the railroads are now
determined to use their friends the
Federal Judges to make law by in
junction, which they have failed
with their tremendous Hobbies % far
to get congress to make. The usur-
patton Of power by the Federal
Courts grows more dangerous and
alarming each day. It seems that
the monopolies and trusts and gold
rings own the Federal Courts, or 1t
least enough of the Judges to enable
them to appeal to the Court and get
done what they desire. Judge CLARK
is right in saying that these Judges
must be elected by the people. In
fact, sooner or later the people must
hold q constitutional convention and
correct this and many other evils
which must be corrected before they
sap the foundation Of our govern
iment
