extent to which this trading and negro
domination have been CARED has not been
fully realized outside the black belt, but
it is forcing itself on the popular mind
now under the present agitation.
During the eighteen years, from 1877
to 1879, when the Democrats were in
power in this State, the party sought to
make better citizens of the blacks.
School houses were built for them,
teachers were trained, the race was en-
couragcd to acquire homes and become
substantial citizens.
Under the fusion regime the negro is
encouraged by prccept and example to
become an office holder. The Eastern
towns and counties have been given
up TO him to misgovern and loot.
Never was there Il more unnatural fu-
sion than that which occurred between
the Populists and the Republicans. They
had no principles in common. On the
contrary, the fundamental principles Of
the two parties were the very opposite
of each other. AS might have been ex>
pectcd, the unnatural alliance between
the two parties has been productive Of
much evil. The standard of political
morality was lowered. suffrage was pros
tituted and free silver Populists voted
for gold-bug Republicans.

WHAT YOUNG SAID
About Supt. Ray Running the White
Blind Institution.


Blind Institution.
CIV Thompson declared at Clinton and
Henry Dockery declared at Carthage
that jim Young had nothing to do with
the management of the white Blind in
stiution. That the management of The
institution was in the hands of Supt
John Il. Ray. Let's see what Jim
Young has to say about this.
At meeting of the Board Of Directors
held in the office of the principal, John
t. Ray soon after Jim Young was ap-
pointed member of the Board, the elec-
ton of an engineer for the institution
came up. Mr.. Ray, the principal arose
and stated to the Board that he thought
Z that the gentleman who was at that
time the engineer should be reelected
because of his efficiency, his high char
acter and his unquestioned fitness for the
position Prof. C. +. Meserve. Il white
Republican, then arose and stated that
in his opinion the suggestion of the prin-
cipal. Prof. Ray, should be needed by
the Board and that the engineer should
be-relected. This brought Jim Young
to his feet and in the presence of Ray
and the members of the Board he said
WIN emphasis. IL lHe pTluCIpdl lS go
ing to run the institution then we have
no use for Board of Directors"
The man that Ray had recommended
was defeated and another man elected
by Jim Young and those who voted with
him, and for this and other similar ac
tons on the part of Young and his
tools Prof. Meserve resigned as a mem
Der of the Board.
Mr. b. +. Montague a well known ut
torney of Raleigh who was n member
of the Board and was present at th'
meeting referred to- stated to a News
and Observer reporter on Monday last
that he remembered distinctly the Incl
dent referred to and that jim Young
did make the statement that if the 'prin-
cipal was going to run the institution
they had no use for the Board, and that
Rays candidate for engineer was de.
feated and Young's candidate elected.
Now Mr.. Dockery will you in your
next effort on the stump say that Il. r.
Montague and Chas. II. Meserve have
each told lie, and will you still claim
that Jim Young has had nothing to do
with the management of the white blind
institution?

DIR. Abbott: ITS a wonder that the
express company hasn't gone into the
hands of receiver long ago"
Mr.. +. Ii. Busbee read the decision of
the Missouri Railroad Commission on the
stamp question. This commission decided
they had no jurisdiction.
Chairman Caldwell: "Dodged."
Mr. Busbee argued that the question
ought to be left open until the courts
passed upon it.
PEARSON: Have not there been somc
adverse decisions?'
Mr.. Dubignon admitted that there had,
Texas, for instance. had decided that the
cypress company must pay the tax.
The argument in the case took up
about all of the morning session of the
commission. At the afternoon session
the commission took vote on the ques-
ton, and by a unanimous vote decided
that the express company should pay
IDe IdA anu uAtu tnc ptlttllA lOl
to do so at $50 fine for each offence.
The order goes into effect on September,
the 18th, and it was said yesterday that
the express company will obey the order
of the commission on the date named.
The question of Il reduction of passen-
ger rates on the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad was taken up. DR.. Abbott read
a lengthy statement embodying facts and
figures relating to the gross and net earn
ings of this road, and after the reading
moved that the Governors petition for
a reduction of rates be dismissed.
On motion DIR. Abbott voted aye, Mr..
Pearson voted no, and Chairman Cald-
well voted no with Mr. Pearson.
Commissioner Pearson then moved
that the matter be deferred until the
final decision in the Wilmington and
Weldon rate matter now in court, which
motion prevailed.
A petition from the Farmers Alliance
asking that the minimum car load of
guano be again placed at ten tons. was
read. DR. Abbott voted III favor of the
proposition. Messrs. Pearson and Cald-
well voted no, and the petition failed.
Subsequently it was said that Mr..
Pearson proposed to DR.. Abbott that
if he would vote to reopen the rate
question on the North Carolina Railroad
that he, Pearson, would vote with him
for reducing the minimum car load OF
guano to ten tons. a proposition which
was declined by Commissioner Abbott.

Chicago Man Offers Solution to inc Financial
 Problem.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-A novel suggestion as to the possibility of obtaining a national basis of compromise between the advocates of the gold standard and their opponents is being advanced by w. s. Harbert, of this city The plan is for a circulating medium consisting of coin certificates payable half in gold and half in silver-a two dollar cer- tificate, for example, to be redeemed by one dollar in gold coin and one dollar in silver coin.
 If the relative value of one metal should diminish the value of the other, according to MT. Harbert would relatively increase and the value of the certificates payable in both metals jointly would be substantially unaffected The height of the fulcrum of the scale would not be disturbed by the rising of one arm and the lowering of the other.

PAUlSEN GIVEN A ROAST
By the Judge Advocate Because He Refused to
 Testify.

Savannah, Ga., Feb. 1.-The tdal by opened with a rush this morning. Judge Advocate Barr made an impassdoned and heated address to the court on the subject of the refusal of Captain Paul Jacob Paul son yesterday to give out private informa- tion relative ito the affairs of the propeller towboat company, of which he is presi- dent.
 The judge-advocate said that the press of the country had doubtless published un- der startling headlines yesterday the state ment that witnesses could not be made to tesify in his case He declared that this was court of justice and witnesses should be compelled to testify a refusal on the part of the witnesses would thwat justice. He said that the witness had sworn in the presence of his God to tell the whole truth, and he should be com pelled to do so even if an appeal to con- greSs was necessary.
 MT. Paulsen was called to the stand again and remained there an hour. He consistently refused to answer the queries of the judge advocate, and finally Brdga- dier-Gene1al Otis, president of the court, was forced to remind the witness of his oath again. of the witness does not ans wer the questions" he said, 'fhe will be in contempt. But, unfortunately, we have no authority to punish for contempt"
 MT Paulsen replied to many questions with the answer: T don't remember" He has proven the courts most interesting witness. He finally agreed to produce the books of the company to show from whom Captain Carter secured the stock he owns in it. and the court adjourned to allow h1rn to 20 for llds books.

Special to The Age-Herald.

Atlanta, Feb. 11.-Much excitement ex- ists in Atlanta over the fact that ex- Mayor Jonathan Norcross and Col. Pike Hill, two of the oldest and wealthiest men in the city, are at daggers' points and may have serious trouble. At conference in MT. Norcross' office today the breach that has existed for several days was only widened and an attempt to assault Mir Norcross was prevented by mutual friends who were present.

STILL LOOKING FOR BODIES In the Ruins of the Recent Pitts
 burg Fire. MISSING LIST SWELLED TO 38 Hrs. McFadden and Her Children, Who Were Thought To Be Buried in the Debris,
 Have All Been Found.

Pittsburg, Feb. 1.-The work of search ing for bodies in the ruins of Wednes- day nights awful fire was continued through last night and today by two hun dred men, but upto midnight but one more body had been recovered from the ruins. The debris is still piled ten feet high, however, and as more than a score of people are still missing. the work will be continued without cessation until 1t is positively known that no more dead are buried beneath the debris.
 That more were killed, says Chief Hum phries of the fire department, there can be no doubt He saw the walls go down in the midst of a great mass of humanity huddled together in a small space, and while he did not care to estimate the num- Der of people killed, he says it will be largely in excess of any estimate yet made. The search for the bodies is at tended by great danger, not only from weakened walls, but from 125 tanks of anlydrade known to still be in the smoul- dering ruins. Anlydrade is ammonia in its most powerful state, and it's ignition would result in an explosion which would cause incalculable disaster.
 The firemen are keeping number or streams constantly playing on this part of the building. It is thought that pre- cautionary methods will avert further dis aster.
 Mrs McFadden and her family of eight children, who were believed to have been buried beneath the walls, are safe. They were found living short distance from the scene of the disaster, having moved from Mulberry alley only few days before. As a result of the catastrophe move ment to prevent the storage in quantities of bonded liquor or ammonia within the corporate limits of the city has been com menced.
 Most of the victims will be buried tomor- row. The coroners inquest will begin on Monday.
 The list of missing Is rapidly swelling, the latest number being placed at 3S. The number of unknown dead is 12; injured, 1S
 The property loss is s1.6O0.000; insurance, about $1 100000
 The man fovnd today is William Wal rahenstein, a milkman.
 The department of public works has ad- vertised for additional men to supplant the force already at work clearing away the ruins, and by tomorrow as many men as can be put to work will be employed, and A speedy clearing up is expected.

PNEUMATIC TUBES
For Running the Mails Over Greater New

Washington, Feb. 11.-A number of con- gresAlen especially interested in postal matters, and Gen. Shallenberger, the sec ond assistant postmaster-general, were prestnt today at the opening in New York of circuit No. of the pneumatic tube sys- tenn, built for the transmission of malls. The second circuit runs from the general postoffice to the Grand Central railroad station, and is three and a. half miles in length.
 Good results are looked for from the new tubes.
 As result of the introduction of the service the officials believe that resort will be had to the mails for nasty communicae tion by many persons who heretofore have used the telegraph for that purpose. The additional use of the mails is one of the sources which the officials believe will ulti- mately increase the revenues of the de- partment and moro than pay for the out- iay involved in the new scheme.

 5. That in the framing of quarantine laws and regulations and in their enforcement, congress should avail itself of the learn ing, experience and ability of the medical profession in the fullest way possible and especially by way of an advisory council.
 This unanimous expression, coming after a prolonged fight for direct and absolute national control is regarded here in- dicating most eonclusively the southern sentiment as to what is practicable under the laws.
 After passing resolutions of thanks the convention adjourned sine die.
