 Cotton Letter
 New York, April 2.-The temper of the cotton market changed again today and prices were little higher. The last hour Of the trading was marked by more animal tion than has been visible for some time. This morning Liverpool cabled decline of one sixty-fourth in that market but the dis patch was without effect on prices here and our market opened two points above the close yesterday and after the opening the south was again seller of hte new crop months and for time the market was heava The weakness was shoft-lived, however and good buying by New Orleans and covering by local shorts sent prices upward. The close was steady at the top. May opened at 6.99, declined to 697 ad- oa6 ff ! nd oln at movement for the week was liberal but at tracted no attention. The situation in the bf1ooded districts is not improved. We ex- pect higher prices. RIORDAN & co.
 Chicago Change.
 Chicago April 2-Whilst business was not at all brisk. there was, nevertheless, firm tone to the wheat market today and mod The f1rmness was an incident of the opening and was attributable to steady Liverpool close that fact helping along along the advance to some extent May wheat opened at 703sc to 7oAo, sold between 7O7sc and 71o, closing Cashwheat was firm and 1sc higher. The action in corn early was quite notable buying both by shorts and for investment The undertone was considered promising and the immediate. situation encouraging 255sc and A5S@24&c, closing at A%c-l4c un- der, yesterday. Cash corn was Ac higher early, closing easier.
 The oats market was responsive to the early improvement noted elsewhere. It was and offerings were but moderate, prices were at times fractionally higher. Later, there was recession and the close was a shade lower than yesterday for May. Cash oats were steady to firm.
 Provisions were not animated enopgh to attract crowd and outside of local profess sional and packing interests, the attendance in the pit was light. Firmer hogs caused steady to firm product values. Later, on moderate offerings prices fell away May pork closed 10c lower, May lard unchanged and May ribs 5c lower.

We fail to see the necessity for
sending this last case to the Superior
Court. The charge was a violation
of city ordinance, with penalty
attached, and it seems to US it was
the duty of the Mayor to decide the
case himself. Why delay the matter
and pile up costs upon either the city
or the defendant? Why have a
Mayor if his duties are to be relegat-
ed to the Superior Court? 1t must
be said that the action of the Mayor
very much resembles a Sinking of
responsibility and of duty.
The extraordinary proceedings of
the past few days should serve to i'm
press upon the people of Winston the
necessity for change of city admin
istration at the election next Spring,
for we cannot hope for favorable

which arouses popular indignation

For it's part, the Dispatch is quite

With our Post Office Department, but
we cannot say we think that the

of good, Trustworthy savings banks

which are willing to pay tar more

reviewing the statistics of these insti-

an astonishingly small number OF
them have failed or proved unworthy
of the trust confided in them. Where
failures have occurred it has usually
been in communities that suffered
from acute boom mania-in localities
where cornfields were sold for town
lots and at prices that were amazing

TAXES THE CAKE.

For fragrant hypocrisy Judge W
S. OBJ Robinson takes the cake, il
the report be true that he is toter
of railroad passes.
The Raleigh News and Observer
states upon what it deems good
authority that the Southern Railway
and the Atlantic Coast Line will be
presented to the Grand Jury of the
next term of Wayne Court for giving
passes to Judge Robinson and his
family.
If Judge Robinson accepted passes
he did, perhaps, what some other
Judges have done, but the fact which
gives special prominence to his case
and makes him the special subject of
censure, if the charge be true, is the
action of the Judge, at a recent term
of Wake Superior Court, over which
he presided, in taking a positive
stand against this free pass business
and in urging the Grand Jury to slap
the law to such railroad companies
as had violated the statute which
forbids the issuing of passes.
But let us give an extract from this
memorable charge of the Judge to
that Wake County Grand Jury. His
own language is the best evidence of
his double-dealing, If he is member
of the free-pass- toting crowd. Judge
Robinson said:
eff you finG your Judge coming t.
his court on a free pass it would be
your duty to present the man who
gave it to him. It would be the duty
of the Legislature to impeach the
Judge. If the railroads can afford to
give me a pass, they can afford to
cell other people their tickets cheaper.
The railroads might just as we'll
transport the jury here to sit in
Judgment on their cases."
cit would be the duty of the Logis-
lature to impeach the Judge" Will
Judge Robinson stick to that opinion
if the investigation shall prove that
he ought to be impeached according
to his own declaration.
The next term of Wayne Superior
Court will be awaited with much in
terest, to see if it is true that so
much deceit and Phariseeism belongs
to North Carolina Judge as would
be shown by the contrast between
that charge to the Wake Grand Jury
and the actions of him who delivered
it, if it is found that Judge Robinson
accepted free passes.

BUFFERS ISLANDER.

The wave of Indignation put in
motion by the horribly scandalous
words attributed to Senator Butler
grows in ex tent and in intensity as it
becomes more certain that he uttered
the terrible arraignment and as the
fuller meaning of the malicious lie
impresses itself upon the minds of
the people.
We reproduce the statement which
the Rocky Mount Argonaut says
Senator Butler made in a speech at
that place. Here it is:
''If colored men commit outrages
the Democrats pretend to be terribly
shocked in public, but when they get
behind a wall they laugh until they
grow fat, and if the outrages are not
frequent enough they hire worthless
negroes to commit them"
This was such an awful falsehood
and such an Infamous statement
that many were loath to believe that
even Butler had used the language
attributed to him-that the reporter
had made some mistake about it.
Later, however, three citizens made
affidavit that the report was sub
stantially correct, and to the veraci-
ty of the eigners of the affidavit the
Raleigh News and Observer gives the
following testimony:
eve happen to know all three OF
these gentle men we'll. Mr.. Mckenzie
is the rector of the Episcopal church
at Rocky Mount, and stands de-
servedly high in his church. DR..
Thorpe is one of the leading physi-
clans of his section, widely known as
a gentleman of character and stand
ing. Mr.. Daughtry is one of the first
citizens of Rocky Mount, a gentle
man of undoubted reputation for in
| tegrity and veracity. Wherever these
gentlemen are known, there will not
be suggestion of doubt that S n
ator Butler said substantially what
the Argonaut published"
"Thjs,'' says the News and Observ-
er, lis a plain statement of the case,
and clearly establishes the case
against Senator Butler.''

ton, the Columbia Register says sit
is the most infamous remark we have

decent, respectable people of our
sister State must indeed blush with
shame, and their blood boil with in
dignation that one who is supposed
to represent them should be so de-
void of all sense of truth and honor
as to utter such sentiment. 1t is a
yillainous libel on the Democrats OF

A CHANGE NEEDED.

How much further in the direction
of oligarchy does the present city
administration propose to go?
Right upon the heels of the outrage
GUS attempt of policemen to put a
prisoner in jail after repeated offers
to give the required bond, charges of
resistance to the police are trumped
up against one of the men who
offered to 60 on the bond and this
man is bound over to the Superior
Court. Upon what pretext will be
seen by reference to synopsis of the
evidence in our news columns, from
which may be inferred a disposition
to get even with the man who dared
to exercise the right to stand securi-
ty for fellow creature whom police

JUST INDIGNATION.

There Is widespread and just in
in the community on &C
count of the inexcusably excessive |
and cruel measures used by two
policemen yesterday afternoon to-
wards ex Chief of Police Bradford,
an account of which, containing
statements from both sides, appears
in our news columns today.
We have tried to sift this matter
and get at the real facts and from
what we have gathered these officers
far exceeded their authority or the
necessities of the case and deserve
severe censure, removal from office
and legal prosecution.
We would not excuse anything
that was wrong in the conduct of the
prisoner It seems he had been
drinking, but was not drunk, and
that he got the liquor from men
licensed by the authorities to sell it
to him. This was wrong. He
monkeyed with a gambling concern,
which held and still holds license
from the authorities to carry on this
sort of business. This was wrong.
He assaulted the prosecutor in the
magistrates court and was guilty of
both assault and contempt. This
was wrong But it was not the
province Of these officers to become
| at once judges and executioners OF
the prisoner. The Justices heard the
complaints, fined the prisoner for
/ assault and bound him over to Court
| in the razor case, in the sum OF
twenty-five dollars. Then it became
! the duty of the officers to collect the
| fine and to see that bond was given
or commit the accused to prison, and
to do any part of this, as the circum-
stances might necessitate, in an
orderly and humane manner, and
not in spiteful and prosecuting way,
as appears to have been done.
| We are reliably informed that three
or four persons offered to stand the
prisoners security and in the most
acceptable manner, viz, by putting
up the cash, and that none of these
offers were accepted until the gate to
the jail was reached and the severe
cruelty had been heaped upon the
prisoner of decorating one of his
arms with an instrument of torture,
| known as "nippers," and which
should not be used by any officer
with a heart in him, except in ex-
tremely obstinate cases.
1t seems that the officers arrogated
to themselves, in this case, authority
| which a king upon his throne in any
civilized country would hardly dare
exercise, and smacks of the destruc-
ton of personal liberty and lawful
rights, SO dear to every American
| heart.
This matter should be thoroughly
investigated and if the case against
the officers proves as it appears to
be they should be taught a lesson
that they will not forget.

provement in the color aud amount
of blood.
One of the surest tests of the
health>makin capabilities of Paine's
celery compound is the rapid increase
in weight and the increased ruddi>
ness of the blood that invariably fol>
lows It's use. 1t clears the skin,
makes the excretory, purifyingfuncs
tions, performed by the bowels, kid,
neys and skin, regular and thorough.
The Improvement in looks from
taking this great restorative is not
mere matter of idle vanity, but the
sign of healthier processes all over
the body. Many parent, wife and
husband have watched with growing
surprise and JOY some listless, white
blooded, feeble relative gaining, un-
pound, flesh, color and wholesomee
ness of mind and body.
Not only is there decided gain in
the general health from the use of
Paine's celery compound, but such
disorders as sick headaches, rheuma>
tism, neuralgia, kidney disease and
nervous debility invariably yield to
the vigorous building up of the
health that this great remedy never
fails to bring about.
Increased appetite, ready capacity
to digest food and the final cure Of
stomach disorders, bowel difficulties
and nervous arrangement follow the

1t is Said of Celery.

That if celery were eaten more
freely sufferers from rheumatism
would be comparatively few.
That when celery is eaten largely
an alkaline blood is the result, and
that where this exists there can be
neither rheumatism nor govt.
That it should not only be eaten
raw but cooked.
That it should be cut in small
pieces and boiled till tender, in as
little water as possible, and after
adding to this little rich milk,
thicken slightly with four and
season with butter, pepper and salt.
That the tender leaves and small
ends of the stalk, which are usually
thrown away, should be used for
soups, and even the greener leaves
are useful, for they may be dried and
powdered and used for havoring
sous and the dressings of roats.

THE DREYFUs CASE.
A Discovery Has Caused a Great
Sensation.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
When Captain Dreyfus was con.
victed, dismissed in disgrace from
the French army and sentenced to
life time Imprisonment, there were
many persons in France and many
elsewhere who believed that an inno-
cent man is being punished.
This faith was not based only or
mainly on the protestations of his
innocence by Dreyfus himself, but
upon his previous fine character as a
man and q soldier. and upon the
weak circumstantial evidence which
was the worst that could be brought
against him.
Dreyfus was accused of selling
copies of French military plans to
| agents of the German government
His trial was a travesty. There was
some excuse for conducting it in
secret, buG there was none for pre-
venting both Dreyfus and his counsel
from knowing what evidence was
brought against him.
| Dreyfus was subjected to humilia-
ton which, to proud spirit, must
h i've been worse than death. After
French penal colony on the coast Of
French Guiana, he was marched be,
fore the corps in which he had served
with great distinction, his sword was
seized and broken, the buttons were
cut from his uniform and cast at bis
feet. Captain Dreyfus bore up won
derfully we'll under the fearful ordeal
and when it was over cried "Vive Ia
Republiquel'
After Dreyfus has suff red for two
years, evidence has been discovered
which seems to show that be was tn,
victim of Il base conspiracy; that tn
military plans he was accused O
J stealing and selling were never solo
by anybody, but were prepared il
!, imitation of his handwriting AM
T used in an effort to blackmail him
A great sensation has been cause,
by this discovery, and a reopenin,
of the case is asked by the friends G
the condemned soldier. They CLAIM
to have proofs OF his complete limo
cence, and it is almost certain tina
( they will have chance to presen
} them to the proper tribunal.
/ Ii Dreyfus can be shown to be a
3 innocent man, France can hardl
3 make sufficient reparation for tn
t wrong that has been done hin

sion to find out the feeling of the
leading European governments re-

a double standard of money, and to
arrange if possible for the holding of
a monetary conference in Washing

scored the worst of fiascos, and the
administration has suffered loss of
prestige by such an unqualified fail
ure. It's Cuban policy, moreover,
has been anything but to it's credit;
for that policy has been a continued
story of regeneration and of excuses
for inaction, and of protests for
keeping friendly with Spain whatever
may happen to the Cubans. Weak
