There's no use saying that nothing

Much can be done. Public opinion could

and others know that slight excuses
will not be accepted as good grounds
for continuances. In these courts the
cases are generally ready for trial when
called. In other courts almost any eX-
cuse for postponement will avail. There
are cases that have been continued and
continued until the calling OF them has
become a farce.
The question is. how TO break up this

the way OF suggestion but TO put upon

Duties in which North Carolina Has

A Washington special TO the Raleigh

notice Monday that he would offer the
following amendment to the Dingley
tariff bill:
Removing ffym the free list ore as
nvrites or sulphuret Of iron in its natural
state and making ii dutiable at 20 per
ton: removing emery ore from the free
list and making ii dutiable AT IL cents
per pound: also. imposing similar duty
on emery grain; making all logs dutlaole
at the rate of g per 1000 feet; Imposing
a duty of cents per pound on raw cot
ton; fixing a specific duty or cents per
pound on monaZite, as now prONldeu'
increasing the duty on kaolin from - 10
s. per ton" -.
Ii is added that 1.-The amendments were
referred to the Finance Committee, ana
Senator Pritchard is confident that they
will be adopted by the committee.
In all of these products North Carolina
has interest and in behalf OF a duty on
some of them a studied EFFORT has peen
made. Mr. Fred. Oliver of Charlotte, mas
been TO Washington in behalf OF a duty
upon uyrites. and has had much CORE

that in the Dingley bill. as IL came from

the clause was dropped. Captain j. IS.

THE LESSON OF OHIO.

The Democratic papers that were stead
fast in the faith during the last cam
paign are singing song OF triumph anu
announcement over the victory IN Ohlo'
and their contemporaries that lett the
fold and the nti-high-protection indie
pendent journals are joining in the chorus
in lively and vigorous style. All three
classes of papers see in the result Oh the
western elections taken by and through,
but particularly in the result OF the ONO
elections, evidences that the country Is
already tired of McKinleyism, and is hope
less of the realization Of the promises
made by the Republican party during
the canvass.
The Springfield Nlass) republican
which is independent, with distinct he-
publican leaning, and which put in some
telling blows for Mckinley, fairy repre-
sents the views of the papers in the same
poltical category with itself. In a calm
discussion of the Ohio elections, the
Herald says that they all point one way,
and that is not towards the further ele-
walton of the Administration party. Our
Springfield contemporary next makes
prominent the significant facts that Tatel
who was elected Mayor of Cincinnati, Is
a pronounced Bryan and free-silver man,
and that the only notable Republican
victory was won in Cleveland, where the
Democrats ran candidate that was dis
tasteful TO the Bryan element, and then
adds:
"I,ocal issues no doubt enter into all
these results, but tendencies so general
proye the presence of general causes, ana
these were popular disappointment over
The failure of the advance agent TO bring
the promised prosperity, popular dlstfust
an the remedy of extreme tarin, and popu-
lar disgust over the presumptuous asceh-
dency of Mark Hanna.
But the Republican does not stop here.
II even goes so far as to express the be-
lief that should there be no marked
change towards industrial Improvement
the Democrats may capture Ohio in No
vember. That would mean. says the Re-
publican, not only the retirement OF
Hanna as senator. but the choice Of
silver Democrat as his successor
Considering the western reaction, the
poor outlook for industrial Improvement
the evident purpose Of the Republican
party not to keep faith with the people
touching currency legislation, and the
general discomfort prevailing among the
masses. verify may 1t be said that the
Democracy have reason to take heart.
Verify ought the situation TO inspire them
"a begin now to grid up their loins for a
fight all along the line for the relief OF
the country.

M ,rrrEnsON.s HONOR

The New York Herald says Hon. VIII
liam jennings Bryan has set MS heart
u,on seeing Monticello. the home OF JEFF
ferson. converted into national reser-
walton and memorial OF the great De-
mocratic President, and VIII give MS
ideas on the subject at meeting OF
,eay,,e Of Democratic clubs TO be held
next Tuesday night. Mr.. Bryan VIII ad-
vocata that Congress make an appro-
priation for the purchase OF the properly
and the maintenance thereof, ana III case
OF failure OF that project he VIII urge
that the Democrats Of the country SUD-
scrihe sum of money sufficient for the
nurnose he has I'm view. Month
cello. he believes. ought 10 be national
monument for foreigners to see an"
Americans to yenerate, and he argues
that the movements champions snon"
receive support apart from the polticai
side of the case.
However. the Herald does NOT hold out
much hope that the movement VIII ma
terialize 1t goes on to remark that' III
reply TO n note from Mr.. Bryan on the
subject. Mr.. jefferson NJ. Levy the
owner Of Monticello, has stated In effect
that all the money in the United States
Treasury would not induce him to part
with the historic place. This, our New
York contemporary terms, slight
drawback to Mr.. Bryans ambition. we
should say so. BY the way. the usually
well-informed Herald seems in this IN
stance TO be decidedly off on its history
and geography. II speaks of Monticello
as the birthplace Of Jefferson, ana 10
Gates the property in West Virginia.

The New York Mail and Express says:
Official confirmation was given to-day to
the report that Colonel Daniel S. Lamont,
ex-Secretary of War under President
Cleveland is to be placed at the mead oil
the Northern Pacific within sixty days.
The title OF Colonel Lamont will be presi-
dent, and il is thought that his headquar-
tiers will be in this city,
Colonel Lamont is at present travelling
in the South, and he is not expected back
in this city for several days. His election
to the position as executive of the North
ern Pacific is the result of a proposed
close traffic alliance which is to be formed
between the Great Northern and that
company. Steps to that end have been IN
progress some time The control or the
Northern Pacific recently passed into the
hands OF foreign syndicate through the
Chase National Bank. OF this city, or
which the Deutsch Bank, Of Berlin. Is
one Of the leading holders. James j. Hill,
of the Great Northern, is member OF
the syndicate, and it is proposed TO bring
the great Northwestern properties into
the great traffic alliance, whereby the
Northwestern and transcontinental rate
situation will be rendered firm.
Under the proposed arrangement, which
is now said to be under completion in Eu-
rope. the two great systems will work in
harmony.
Colonel Lamont's selection for the presi-
dency of the Northern Pacific is the result
of President Hills friendship for him. 1t
is known that some time ago President
Hill endeavored to get Colonel Lamont to
take the first vice-presdency of the Great
| Northern but the latter declined.
