ing for balances due for carrying mails
in the south when the war broke out.
Mr.. Payne was insistent in his opposi-
tion TO these. calling attention to the
fraudulent nature i6f many similar claims
in previous congresses. lie expressed the
opinion that all had been paid before, but
the members interested stood together and
voted him down every time he demanded
a division!
There were several bills to reimburse
"postmasters and internal revenue collectors
for stamps lost or stolen. One was to pay
the balance on a contract for ice fur
nished the army hospitals in the Missis-
sippi valley during the war. The amount
claimed is $50, 600, and is for ice at the
rate of 80 cents a hundred pounds. Among
the others were bills to pay George c. ELI
son, an engineer at the capital in the sew
entities 5000 for the cost Of defending
himself against the charge of murder; to
pay $1,000 to the widow of Samuel Muehl-
man, one Of the victims of the old Ford
theater disaster which collapsed on a num-
Der OF government clerks employed there.
When the committee of the whole re-
ported Mr.. Payne blocked nnal action to-
day by making the point Of mo quorum.
But the friends Of the claims refused to be
baked. A recess was ordered until tomOr-
row at 1880, in order to continue today's
session, and the sergeant-at-arms and his
deputies were sent, out to arrest and bring
in absentees. 1t was s o'clock before the
requisite quorum was secured to carry the
motion and let the session go over until

BAD CASE OF BELLYACHE.

The situation in Wall Street, respon-
sible for the Baltimore failures and the
embarrassment of everybody loaded up
on trust, industrial and railroad stocks,
is one that every financial doctor has tried
to diagnose. The best diagnosis comes
from Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish, president of
the Illinois Central Railroad. He was
asked his opinion and among other things
said:
wall Street has bad case of bellyache,
as the result of the indigestion of securi-
ties. OF late there has been such an enor-
nous offering of stocks and bonds in un-
derwriting the many big industrial enter
prises in the metropolis that the people
have not been able to digest what has
been unloaded on the market"
Mr.. Fish said the question of the for
nation of the giant industrial combination
was one hard to solve. In his opinion the
specializing public of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago has become
alarmed over the recent failure of the Re
public. The people have lost confidence,
and with Wall Street on the ragged edge,
the present low level of stocks and bonds
will continue until operators can realize
on their big trust holdings.
The confidence of the people displayed
in the corporations organized by J. Pier
pont Morgan &, Co, in the estimation of
Mr.. Fish, has deprecated wonderfully of
late, and it will be difficult for promoters
of tremendous combinations of capital to
the name of Morgan might "have stood
against the world; today there's none so
poor to do him reverence"

WELCOME TO THE VETERANS,

Every son and daughter of the State,
who comes to Raleigh today to visit the
State Fair, will receive cordial welcome
to their own capital city. In sense
the people of Raleigh are the custodians
of the beautiful city that belongs to the
whole State. When they come to Raj
eigh, therefore, they are coming to their
own State capital and should feel per
a cordial greeting to one and all.
But, though giving the glad hand to
every visitor, the warmest and sincerest
welcome is reserved for the veterans of
the Confederate Army who will today
hold their annual reunion in this city.
They are the guests of honor. They are
the men whose valor and sacrifice brought
more glory to their State than the achieve
ments of any other sons of North Caro-
lima in its entire history. With few of the
honors of war, in hardships and sufferings,
footsore and hungry, these men and their
brothers who had answered to the last
roll call on earth, won immortal
honors for themselves and their State
from Bethel to Appomattox. And their
services to their commonwealth did not
end when Lee surrendered to superior
numbers. They returned to their impov
erished homes and set themselves to make
brick without straw. How well they and
their sons and their descendants have
succeeded all the world knows land all
the world wonders at their recuperatve
ability. In many ways the conflicts, ma
terial and political, were as fierce during
the first years of peace as they had been
from 1861 to 1865. In summing up the
record of the Confederate soldier, the
successful struggle he made for good gov
eminent after the war must come right
after the heroism he displayed in war.
Any city is honored to be chosen as the
place of encampment by the surviving
members of the bravest army the world
has known. Raleigh welcomes them with
ten fold more joy than it welcomed them
in their fresh young manhood when many
OF them came here for military instruc-
tion in Camp Mangum. They are older
now. upon their heads has fallen the snow
that never melts and but a few years
to them before the grand reunion
with ''Marse Robert in the Better Land.
The best wish for the youth of today is
that upon them may fall the mantle OF
love of country that has been worthily
worn by the North Carolina men VINO
wore the gray.

MUNICIPAL DAMON AND PY-
THIAS.

The State Fair opens at Raleigh to-
morrow. Durham, as she has been doing
for wears. will send down her usual quota
of visitors Durham Sun.
And Raleigh opens wide its gates and
makes its lowest bow as it gives glad well
come to the cohorts from Durham-the
great city known in countries where no
BODY has ever heard of North Carolina"
There was time when Raleigh and
Durham exchanged "hits" at each other
and outsiders gathered the erroneous i'm
preston that Raleigh did not love Dur
ham as devotedly as Damon loved Pythias
They were mistaken. The truthSis that
the little backhanded ticks that formerly
passed from these two cities were only
playful love-licks. Durham people feel
more at home in Raleigh than any
where else except in Durham, and Raleigh
always rejoices in Durham's progress and
prosperity There are many ties that bind
the cities together. The people of the
two cities have intermarried and the
young people seem determined that such
delightful contracts shall not end.
Raleigh expects an immense crowd from
Durham today and tomorrow, and will
give them hearty welcome, not only
because it loves Durham people but be-
cause wherever Durham people gather
there is always something doing"

MAKE THE ORDER.

The Corporation Commission should not
delay in making the order requiring the
Southern and Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road to so arrange their schedules as to
connect at Selma with the afternoon train
and 1T Goldsboro with the morning trains.
The inconvenience is so great that 1t
ought not to be permitted to continue an
ether week.
Two Wilson people were in Raleigh yes
terday The first said: "In order to get
tc Raleigh l had to leave home al six
o'clock yesterday morning and 1 reached
Raleigh at four o'clock in the afternoon.
it took me, therefore, eight hours to come
from Wilson to Raleigh, only forty miles.
If they do not have better connections,
The next time / will take a horse and
buggy and come through the country to
Raleigh" The other Wilsonian said: ut
is now much easier and more comfortable
to get to Washington City from Wilson
than to get to Raleigh. Is there no
remedy?"
There is remedy. The Southern and
Atlantic Coast Line should be directed to
make the connections, and to make them
this week. The Corporation Commission
should act and act promptly so as to re
i
leve the great annoyance and inconvenl
ence arising out of present conditions.
