 AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
 Washington, March 7.-Hon A. H. Mowry of Charleston, S. C., who was seen at the Raleigh last evening, has broken all records in the way of hold merit system can point to him With ficent results of their theories on ten ure of public officials
 MT. Mowry, after serving creditably in congress, was appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland postmaster of Charles ton, in 1887. He has been administer ing the office ever since to the pro- found satisfaction of the residents of the quaint old seaboard town. Mr. Harrison reappointed him; MT. Cleve- land did for the second time, and he has not yet received any intimation that a successor will be named in the near future.
 Our entire state," said MT. Mowry, twas inexpressibly shocked at the brutal murder of the colored pcstmas- ter at Lake City, who, with his babe, was ruthlessly shot down by mob of ruffians who are a disgrace to the hu- man race. I am glad to state that some of the good people of Charleston sent for the widow of the victim and her other children, and that they are now secure in our city, where they will be cared for permanently and sup piled with every necessity of life. All over Carolina indignation meetings have been held to express the hatred our people have for such fiendish ex- hibitions of atrocity. The governor has offered reward of $500 for the arrest of the assassins, and whether they number four or four hundred swift and condign punishment will be meted out to them if the officers of the law can get the right parties. Such crimes against humanity and civiliza- tion, if allowed to go unpunished, will result in the degredation Of our people. and will cause the outside world to ians."
 Nevada is state that has been greatly misrepresented," observed ex- Gov. R. K. Colcord of Carson City.
 ''It is true that after the exhau ton of the Comstock and other enormous ly rich silver mines, we lost a con- siderable part of our inhabitants, but that decline was checked some time ago, and at present Nevada is gaining e Ob 1U in y1of in excellent shape, free from debt ex- cept in very moderate amount that has been borrowed from the states public school fund. and we have no outside creditors. Some heavily pro- | ducing gold mines are located within our borders, notably the De la Mar mine, which yields $1, 100000 annually The prospects for an increased output of the yellow metal are excellent and our other resources are not being ova- looked.
 "I am republican and believe thor | oughly in the principles of that party but I do not believe that it can COD ttnue in power by advocacy of the sin gle gold standard. During the last few months I have travelled extensive ly, and everywhere I find most bit ter opposition to that policy The people may not be wildly clanorous for the free and unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 for in fact the idea of any ratio is not very greatly davel- oped with the average citizen. The idea prominent with him is that one metal has been struck down, and he wants it rehabilitated. The democrats will press this view for all it is worth and shrewdly omit the l6 to 1 phase of the question in 1900. By so doing they will sweep the country unless there is great change in the condi- tions now existing. The American people really want bimetallism-gold and silver-and if silver is restored to it's former place as money, will be content to let congress establish the ratio.''
 q am hurrying home," said Hon. H. c. Drew of Calcasien Parish, Ia., at the ShOreham, ito participate in the action of the constitutional ccnven- tion, of which I am a member, cn the vital point for which the convention was ordered-the suffrage question.
 do not believe in radical legisla- ton on this matter, and have myself Introduced a bill which I think goes far enough in the line of restricting the suffrage. About one hundred sim liar measures have been referred to the elections committee, and it is i'm possible to say just what sort of stat ute will be enacted. My proposition, in brief. requires payment of a poll tax of S2 year for the preced 'ng two years, and that said tax shall have been paid within the time prescribed by law. Ability to read the state con- stitution and to write his own name is also requisite for every man of fering to vote. But in lieu of the edu- cational test, either the man or his 1-ifa st 10 tho of rarnportu
