The Penitentiary and A. 81 ~. College
GiiIs to Put Republicans in Control
Passed Last night.
HOUSE NIGHT SESSION.

NOUS L--NiGI1I SESSION.
At 1870 the House met and at once
| took up the calendar.
The following bills passed:
To incorporate the Peoples Mutual
Benevolent Association.
To amend the charter of the A. & N. G..
Railroad SO the presence of the State
proxy shall be necessary to make quo
rum.
TO amend the trial Of civil proceedings.
To repeal chapter $50, public laws of
1895.
TO provide for printing the acts of
1897.
To revise and consolidate the charter Of
Moryen.
To regulate the service Of process in
criminal actions.
The bill TO provide for the taking charge
of the penitentiary came up and was ex-
planned by its author, Dockery, who said
it simply reinstates the Democratic law
Of 1893, and that this was one Of the
funeral occasions the Democrats must
expect after the great revolution of 1896;
that Republicans ought to control the
penitentiary because it is largely COM
posed Of Republicans; that in the division
of spoils it fell to the Republicans; while
the insane asylum Qaughter); that as for
the Democrats they get nothing, there is
no pie for them, the devil will take care
of his own. (Laughter.) Dockery said
the Democratic law under which the
Denitentiary was so successfully governed
by the Democrats for 25 years was a
good one Duffy reminded Dockery of
the fact that Democracy was not dead,
and would never die. He added that
Doclery himself confessed this was a
revolutionary measure. He described the
Republicans and Populists as pie-hun-
CRY lie paid the Democracy a high
tribute and the Democrats heartily ap-
piauded him. Schulken said he knew of
no such division of pie as Dockery al
iuded to and wanted to know when it
was made. Dockery said it would be
made after this bill had passed. lie said
that after the Republicans had gotten in
by the aid of the Populist party it was
high time that the latter went in the
asylum, upon seeing what fool it had
made of itself. (Applause.) He opposed
the bill, and said il there was to be a
division of the pie the PopuLsts were
entitled to it all; that the Bible contain
ed an injunction against gluttony; that
this bill takes the matter oHt OF corpora
ton; that it robbed the Populists of part
Of the pie they were entitled to; that the
Republicans not only took all the pie,
but took away part Of the Populist
party. Hodges (bolting Populist) said
that if Schulken really knew nothing of
this division Of pie he must indeed be
Rip Van Winkle; that he could not see
how Schulken could accept pie if it were
offered him; that the future has be-
hind it every leading Populist in North
Carolina, and that after it had adopted
resolutions that it would take no pie, he
would keep his mouth shut; that the Re
publicans had all the pie they wanted,
and the minority Populists more than
they could consume; that if the majority

their system? Are they in court? No:
they are at the capitol. Are their brows
knit with eager desire to develop the
philosophy of law to a bench deep and dig
nified and honest TO receive it, or are their
features ripping with liquid smiles, be-
guiling and enlghtening those who need
light from them? They were here in
force-these attorneys and agents and
what not and for what? To tell the rep
resentatives of the people how they
should vote. Should it not be sufficient
for these representatives to get the will
of those who sent them here, and repre-
sent them. This is democratic repreSen-
tative government in it's pure form, and
this notion entered most largely, perhaps,
into the conception which lay at the root
of this government.
And the representatives, who, yester-
day, voted for the bill stood against these
forces and more.
And this is why this gathering OF these
people" were there to see if the power
of the people would at last prevail against
the multitudinous forces of concentrated
money.
And it prevailed and a ground-wave OF
power seemed to uplift the people as
people to 4 greater eminence as if by an
inspiration At one moment the crowd
back in the lobby pressed forward down
the aisles: it was but the writhing move
ment of corporate greed dying in despera-
tion.
Blackburn voiced it when he plunged
up and down, with swollen veins, pro-
testing that he would not be gagged
though the people had spoken. But Cook
was steady at his post and for every
look of Blackburn's vengeance, there
came returning to him the calm, fearless
regard of the people as if with the say
ing: Thus far and no farther!''
The people had won.
McCrary had tried for a recess.
No.
Blackburn had tried to postpone the
third reading of the bill.
No.
The question had even outgrown the
limits Of the lease and had become en-
larged into the case of railroad corpora
tons VS.. the people
For once, the eye looked with pride
upon the representatives, who in bearing
and speech, though rude, seemed part
of the people. The agricultural status of
North Carolina appeared as safeguard
against the manoeuverings of cities that
dominate other States with corruption
and tyrrany.
There was no more done.
There was, after all was over, the
peculiar feel that fingers over battle
that is ended.
1t was a battle that had been culminat t.
ing for twenty years.
1t was fought Yesterday
Yesterday it was won.

OWE'SSTARTLING CHARGE
THE GOVERNOR in THE PAY OF
THE sEABOARD AIRLINE.
The CoIored Representative from New
Hanover Startles the Crowd
into q stoundment.

Representative Howe (coloredl, will
this morning, Cd. VI, arise in his seat
to a question of personal privilege
He will say that yesterday Governor
Russell accused him of taking South
ern" money, and he will ask for an in
yestigation.
1t all arose from a visit yesterday of
Howe to Governor Russell.
Howe was sent for
He was accompanied to the Governors S
Office by his collea He from New Han
over, Mr.. d. b. Sutton.
When Howe yesterday arose to ex-
plain his vote. he startled the House with
asation which actually brought n
hush upon the great crowd.
He told of his visit in the morning to
the Governor, whom he characterized as
tyrannical, and finally, in a passion, he
explained that he (the Governor was in
the pay of the Seaboard Air Line"
For a second there was not a sound.
Hancock was the first to recover him
self, and called the speaker to order. And
he, too, was called to order, not upon his
language but on the point that he had
consumed the two minutes allowed him
by the rules.
And so the sentence ended-and so the
speech ended What was yet to be
moulded into words was left TO the shock
ed imaginations of those who heard and
were even startled
The incident passed with the general
sweep Of the great measure then pend
ing, and the people passed out and Howe
passed into the Speakers room.
He was afterward seen by a reporter
Of the News and Observer, and was still
in not the best of humors He had seen
Speaker Hileman privately in his (the
Speakers room, and told him the whole
story.
And here it is:
Il was" said Howe, this morning
sent for by the Governor, and was ac-
companied by Mr.. y. II. Sutton There
were some gentlemen in the Office, bur
the Governor, eXcusing himself, went
with me behind a screen for consultation.
MIR. Sutton had asked me in the morn
ing how l stood on the lease, and | had
told him that my sympathies were with
the Southern, but that / should be glad
to hear what the Governor had to say
was even then open to conviction.
by asking me how l was going to vote
/ answered as stated above, at which
the Governor blurted out some profanity,
saying at the same time THAT L had been
bought by the Southern. He walked to
the mantel piece, still denouncing me
loudly, when / protested that he was not
treating me justly. He cursed me again,
repeated his accusation, and ordered ME
out of his office. / told him l would go,
but | did not think / had been treated
justly. And, sir, even if / had been
for the bill, l would have broken any
bond-broken my neck, if necessary--to
vote against it, and / shall tomorrow
rise to a question of personal
privilege, asking for an investigation into
the charges made against me by Gov
ernor Russell"
Howe's charge was one of colossal
to make in open House, and
the rest of the story may yet, after this
have to be narrated an another
chapter.

Rev. P. M. Bartlett, D. D., by
special request gave the paper pre-
pared by him for Presbytery, on the
Doctrines of the Presbyterian Church.
1t is an able paper, and was we'll re-
ceived. 1t might be well if such dis
courses were given occasionally in all
churches, that the peculiar beliefs of
the denominations might be more full
ly understood, using care, as did DIR.
Bartlett in this discourse, not to make
any offensive references to other de-
nominations.
On Sabbath night there was Tenn
perance meeting held under the aus
pieces of the Westminster League.
The prayer meeting on Wednesday
evening was not as largely attended
as usual. 1t was conducted by Rev.
Samuel T. Wilson, D. D., the subject
being, "Why join the church," The
services were very interesting, indeed,
and profitable to all.
Rev. S. T. Wilson, D. D., will &C.
cupy the pnlpit next Sabbath, and it
is expected that there will be large
attendance.
Rev. Frank E. Moore, our beloved

pected that his labors will be abun
dainty successful.

The Temperance Drama.

Thursday night at Columbian Hall,
local talent presented the great tenn
perance drama, "Arthur Eustace; or
a Mothers Love-" to large and ap-
preciative guidance. This is a grand
play and the different characters were
well presented. The people were
well pleased and the participants were
heartily congratulated. The College
Orchestra, which assists in the enter
tainment Monday night, furnishd the
music and it was a pleasant and i'm
portant feature OF the entertainment.
All of the members are artists and de-
serve special mention and the COM
pany greatly appreciate their help.
But to Mr.. ]. T. Richelsen, the lead,
er, and Miss Perine, the pianist, much
praise is due for the success of the
drama as their music, pianlssimo, was
excellent and added much to the
effect. Great credit is also due Mr..
B. G.. Simmons for the efficient way
in which he "made up" the different
characters and his many helpful sug.
gestions.
The company is also greatly indebt
ed to Mr.. Wallace Toole for the eff
cient manner in which he directed the
stage affairs. His services were inval
liable, as poor stage Management
