OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, April 9.
The appropriations" hill are being
steadily puabed in the Ilou.'e. It i ex
peeled that all of them will be disposed of
by the 1st. or middle of May. Tbe House
will bo ready to adjourn by tho lfct, of
June, and that fact will be duly announced
to the country. Tbis is tho programme
of the Democratic leaders. Of course,
tho House will not adjourn then. No one
expects it. The Democratic managers of
the Houkc, however, do expect that by
closing up their most urgent business the
attention of the country will be riveted
upon the Senate. Tbe Senate is a major
part of the Democratic administration
and the House means that it must bear
the burden of criticism for non-action.
Some surprise has been expressed that no
movo has yet been made in the Senate
toward prolonging the daily sessions.
Debate does not begin until 2 o'clock and
ends before 5. In the House things-were
managed differently. Sessions began at
11 o'clock in the morning and ended at
10:30 or 11 o'clock at night.
Forty one starving, worn-out men, con .
stituting an advance guard of the Coxy
army, reached Washington Saturday
night, and were promptly locked up at
various police stations. , . Tho vanguard
was met at a suburb of the city by forty
policemen, who ordered a surrender.
Tho army of tho unemployed promptly
raised a white flag upon a stick, and the
war so. far as tho advanco guard was
concerned was over. Five patrol
wagons were in waiting, and the
prisoners wero loaded into them and
hauled to the police station. Thus the
majesty of the law at the.. Capital
triumphed in tho first terrible skirmish.
But it is ovident that the' police aulhori
ties aro apprehensive of some trouble in
case of tho arrival of Coxey's army.
The rapid assembly of several regiments
of tho National Guard some days ago
shows this, and the lieutenants of all the
police stations have been ordered to take
all the men off duty and give them a
thorough drill for use in case of riots.
This has been going on for the past few
days at every precinct, and the men will
bo continued at tbo work until the arrival
of the main array of the unemployed.
Thcro is a strong rumor to tho effect
that Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
are again actively considering measures
for the relief and improvement of the un
satisfactory financial condition of the
Treasury. Tho gold balance of tho treas
ury is now $5,000,000 above the legal
tender reserve, and it will not take long
at the prosont rate of excess of expendi
tures over receipts to encroach upon the
reserve in meoting tho ordinary expenses
of the government. Tho most favored
plan under consideration contemplates the
protection of tho government's gold hold
ings by the issue of bonds" bearing a low
rate of interest, and "it is thought the
matter will soon bo brought to the atten
tion of Congress either by a special
message from the President or by a bill
drawn up by the Secretary of the Treas
ury and offered in one house or the other
by a financial friend of the administra
tion. A Heartless Fraud,
Last Saturday I bought a ton of wheat
bran and opened a bag on Sunday. There
were a lot of little black seeds in it How
many farmers have' seen such?. Today
an accurately weighed pound of bran
from that bag was taken and sifted in tho
wind. It contained 10.96 per cent of
broken, light grains of wheat, oats, cockle
and chess or cheat seeds. The latter is
the hardy grass seed which survives when
whoat is killed out, thus giving rise to
tho supposition that wheat turns to cheat.
The light kernels ot wheat contain a
black or brown powder, which is in all
probability stinking smut of wheat, one
of the vilest nests which has como to
M.
plague tho wheat grower. .
The cockle seed weighed out 'by itself
proved to constitute 2.774 "per cent of tho
weighed sample. So, if my ton of bran is
no better seeded than this pound" taken
from one bag at random, it holds 55.48 lbs
of cockle seed. This is about a bushel and
has cost mo tho samp as so many pounds of
bran to cheat, my stock, and seed the land,
perhaps forovcr.in'cockle. But that is not
all. There wero chess seeds enough to
equal 1. Oil per cent,. which would yield
at this rate 20.22 pounds of chess seed for
the one ton of bran.
At the experiment Farm it was found
that two mules, 2 horses, one weanling
colt, fourteen cows, 2 bulls, one heifer,
one old steer, and three swine made - 15
tons of stable manuro per moath.
To feed that number of animals econo
mically, using bran for tho grain, would
requiro 151 pounds per daj' and ifi 30 days
2J tons. '
Thus tho 15 tons would already have
in it 124.83 pounds of cockle, and 45.5
pounds of chess. There would be enough
of tho cockle to seed three acres'and chess
enough for two more.
Those who feed this kind of bran should
invest heavily in weed killing implements
for they will bo needed, not only this
year, but next year and tho next after,
and so on.
It is two bad that the villian who mixes
weed soods into bran and ships it off to
tho farmer is not where we can get hands
on him, but is a resident of some far away
place and tho bran comes at second or
third hand, and the retailer is perhaps
nearly as much victimized as the feeder;
for he sees his. trade discredited and his
neighbors ruined by the filth he has been
instrumental in introducing to them.
This is a long argument ' toward an
honest local miller, who if he offers you
bran will sell you bran ; and if he offers
weed 6cods will tell you what you are
buying and grind them, so" you will not
be burdened by weedy crops. F. E. Em.

J3T Two outrages aro reported in the
telegrams. One is an attempted outrage
by a negro at Wilkcsboro upon a little white
girl six years old. An attempt, was made
to lynch the fiend, but the Gfficc'rs' man
aged to keep him out of their hands so far.
The other is a criminal assault upon a
white woman at GrcenghnroH'G., by a
hegro. In this instance tbeshoriff was
overpowered by a frenzied-m6b who took
the scoundrel and mado quicVw'ork with
him almost in tho face of troops that had
been called out.

"I want. Stevenson for President in '96,"
said ..an Olin township farmer in - The
Landmark office Tuesday. "I'm tired of
these Now York Democrats. 1 wouldn't
give five cents for the difference between
New York Democrat and aJNew xork
Republican and I wouldn't known which
one to give the five cents to." Democrats
n tbe South are beginning to turn their
eyes to Adla.i. Statesville Landmark. . ,
Says an exchange: "A gentleman
perhaps 45 yeart old remarked this rrtorn-
ng things were getting in a queer shape.
When I was a boy," he said, 'we had good
ruit crops almost every year, but . the
trees, all pi them, were great big. fellows.
Sometimes a frost would injure the crop,
but to tbe best of my recollection wo al
ways had plenty of fruit apples, peaches,
cherries, etc. For the past 20 years if
we get an average crop once in four years
we are lucky.
The Clinton Democrat wittily says:

A short time ago Maj. W. A. Graham,
of east Lincoln decided to make an ex
amination of some old holes in which
gold ore had been found in paying quanti
ties years ago. but had been abandoned
as the workmen considered tbe gold ex
hausted. With a small force of hands
Maj. Graham has gotten out nineteen
tons of ore which he shipped to Pittsburg,
Pa. After paying for tbo digging, ship
ping and smelling he realized a net profit
of 8150 a ton, and has a good prospect of
selling the mine at a big price. The

It was a veritable home coming to him,

Missionary spirit developed in a striking
degree. Being of s, be knows better
than a stranger could ever learn, the pecu

The battle over the Wilson Bill in the
Senate "was begun in the early part of
last week, and promises to .continue for
several months. It was hoped that tbe
debate would be allowed to proceed
smoothly at least until the friends of. the
measuio sought to force .a vote, but this,
expectation bus been disappointed by the
introduction of fillibustering at the very
outset. "The preliminary skirmish showed
that Senators Hill and Murphy were
ready to place themselves on record as
opV'td to the bill Just how far the
r
yosition of tbe New York Senators
'.vi II go in the' matter is a question that is
i.ow the subject ot considerable specula
tion. Senator Hill is expected today to
define bis' position clearly, and there is
much anxiety on tbe part of those who
are charged with tbe responsibility of
bringing tho bill to an early vote to know
whether his objections will extend simply
to the jncome' tax, which is very unpopu
lar in New York, or whether it will go
farther and apply to tho bill itself. The
fate of the entire measure may depend
upon the' vote o'f the New York Senators.
It is to be hoped that in tbe present state
j of the business world, with the market
disturbed and unsettled by the uncer
tainty as to wbat the tarirr duties are to
bo; that no man ot either party will be so
unpairi6tic'as'to embarras8 and delay the
passage ot tho biir by any factious oppo
sition. it is one thing to be a good
partisan, but it is quite another to retard
or partisan purposes tbe passage of a
measure for which all the country waits
with eager impatience
Washington is not a city inhabited ex
tensivejy with foreigners, but we have
here a specimen of every race that ranks
as a nation, iteierence. is maoe to tne
representatives of the foreign govern
ments, and of course they are the best ot
their kind. Most of them move in so
ciety, and the Corean minister and his
wife aro among the most popular in the
diplomatic circle. - Last year the Chinese
government changed its minister, and
sent here a man who is not only one of
the brightest of bis race in all mental at
tainments, but be has considerable ot that
talent which shows itself in the collection
of wealth. He is very rich, and brought
with him it is said, seventy servants A
: . it. I I.
curious incident occurred snortiy alter
his arrival. The monthly bills of the
Washington GaBlight Company are
rinted on a paper of a peculiarly dirty
yellow tint, whioh happens to be the
exact huo of the Chinese emblem of
mourning. Ono day such a bill was
found in the vestibule of the Chinese
egation, as well as in every other bouse
n tbx) city, but the innocent celestials
believed it to be an emblem of mourning,
and it being left at the legation con
vinced tho minister that the death was
of some person high in diplomatic circles.
He at once gave orders to close the
house, and the implements of mourning
were brought out, and the neighbors for
the rest of tho evening were regaled with
a contusion or curiom noises which is
made in bewailing the dead, and which
the Chinese only know how to make.
The Washington correspondent of the
Statesville Landmark points to the right
way :
"The President's message in disapproval
of; tho bill is a straight forward, manly
and sincere document and ought to be
carefully read beforo the able Democratic
xecutivo is criticised and abused. Per
sonally, I- believe the plainest solution of
tho existing monetary stringency is more
udicious work and economy and not
more, coining ot money, l have shown
n this correspondent for years how hun
dreds of thousands of dollars could be saved
annually to tbe tax payers by a more
economical adjustment of government ex
penses in various departments, beginning

tho $100 clerks allowed members, all the
extra clerks allowed Senators and give

thing over half a million a month as
nearly as I can calculate it with the
crude figures before me. Abolish the
senseless custom of congressional funerals,
of eulogies which waste an , expensive
egislative day, of printing 135,000 worth
of lithograph pictures of the dead Con-,
gressman, take the bath rooms and barber
shops out of the capitol building, lot Con

need to "coin the seigniorage" in order to
have money floating around."

TO THE FARMER.
If you use Commercial Fertilizers, it is the
part of wisdom for you to buy the very best
grade. Do not allow yourself to be led to boy
the low grades at any price. The seasons are
often bad, and none bat the highest grades can
pay you any profit Moreover, you can buy our
high grades at about the price, or even lower
than the cheaper quality of Fertilizers. The
guarantee of our goods as printed on tbe sacks,
and'as published by the State Chemists of North
and South Carolina, makes it necessary that ours
are the best quality and containmore plant food
than any other Fertilizer sold in this section.
This is a positive fact, and we ask all who may
doubt this assertion to write to the State Chem
ists of North or South Carolina and get their say
about it.
Some one may say that he has used our goods
and they were not satisfactory. To any such we
would say that sometimes Acid Phosphate id
used when .Guano is needed; or that guaneii
used where Acid will do just as well ; or both a"re
often used on land that. needs Kaioit. In any o .
which causes, the farmer pays for wbat his land
does not need, and which cannot possibly be pro
fitable to him - So. jf the farmer will study and
watch his land, and find out what it needs if
Acid Phosphate then our Acid Phosphate will
pay him better than anything else ; if his land
needs Guano, our Guano , will pay better than
any other ; because both our Acid and Gnano are
of the very best grade and contain more plant
food than anything else c
Another reason why some farmers may not
think our guano -paid them because of the sea
son. In a bad season .a low grade Fertilizer
usually pays nearly as well as our high grade
goods. Why ? Because, no matter how much
plant food we put in our goods the plant could
not be nourished by it If it rains all the time,
or if there is a drouth, or if a hail interferes or a
wind-storm blows the plant till the roots are
broken, of course or Fertilizers cannot show but
little better results than the low grades. When
the season is fair, our Fertilizers will show a
wonderful difference over any other goods that
ean be found in our community.

32fA quietus was put upou tbe Bland
Seigniorage bill Wednesday by tbe re
fusal of the House to pass it over the
veto of the President. This was the ex
pected result, for no one who kept track
of the debate or of the votes cast believed
for a moment that Mr Bland could mus
ter votes enough to pass it over the veto.
It remains now to be seen, if, with the
lights before hi in, Mr. Bland will ask the
House to consider a free coinage bill and
waste time in debating a measure which
stands no hope of passage by this Con
gress, or even by the next. If it might
stand a better show in the next Congress
than in this there would be no hope ot its
becoming a law while Mr. Cleveland is in
the Presidential Chair, and no one be
lieves thai if the next House should be
Democratic, tbe silver advocates can make
gains enough, if they make any, to over
come a Presidential veto. Under these
circumstances it is folly for a Democrat to
be wasting lime in the discussion of a mea
sure, however important it may be, simply
for the purpose of agitating it when there
is no earthly prospect of doing anything
more, und when the doing of that retards
the dispatch of measures which ought to
be acted upon promptly. We believe in

SW Prof. Wiley, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, who has been
investing the culture of the sugar beet
says : ""The production ot sugar beets is
of itself an art. . Tho ordinary farms of
agriculture cannot be used for this pur
pose. Su ar beet culture is in every sense
intensive and not extensive farming." If
this be so it is an excellent reason why
tbe culture of tbe sugar beet. should be
encouraged in the South. Intensive farm
ing is the very thing we need in this sec
tion and anything that leads to it on a
large or a small scale ought to be encour
aged. Pror. Wiley adds after discussing
the beet at some length that tbe culture
of the beet, which requires fertilizing the
soil, leaves the land in better condition for
the production of other crops, so that by
tbe culture the land is actually left better
than worse, as it is left by most other
crops. Wilmington Star.

My strength is exhausted, my energy
dead,
From the volley of blue pills discharged
at my head."
It is not strange that Nature should
remonstrate against tho use of those
griping and drastic blue marbles, with
which old fogies of medicine persist in
dosing their patients. They aro not only
revolting in appearance, but oftimes
actually injurious in their affects. Yet
Nature heeds some help in overcoming
obstinate dyspepsia, constipation and liver
troubles, and fortunately she has a very
valuable assistant in Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, which, small as bird seed and
sugar.coated, never fail to act effectively
though soothingly.

JHif The elections are not a repudia
tion ot Democracy, but they are a protest
against the failure to inaugurate and put
in operation Democratic policies. If a
Democratic tariff bill had been pasned tbe
result would have been different It the
thousands of federal office holders had
been Democrats the trained army of
offioials, who are always . hard fighters,
would have been Democrats instead of
Republicans.
There has been no repudiation of Dem
ocralic principles. The great array of tbe
unemployed have rebelled against the non
action of Congress. Business its unsettled
because no man koows what the tariff is
to be.
The redemption of its pledges is what
the country demands of the Democratic
party. Nevcbern Journal.
