His department deals exclusively with the two great questions that will occupy the time of tariff and it is his desire to be prepared to furnish all of the information on both subjects that will from time to time be asked for from the time that Congress takes up these until it disposes of them, and when that will be is a drum that no wise man will try to answer at this time. Not the slightest bit of a sen- was caused by the alleged news, received here early in the week, of the disabling of the 8- S- by a shot from a poaching sealer flying the Hit flag, for the very simple reason that nobody believed a word of it. The department has had reports from sea dated a month later than when the alleged disabling took place, which make no mention whatever of any such incident That's why nobody believes the story. The number of pensioners ab- dropped from the roll since March last is bat in the period have been suspended, pending further in- Judging from past experience in such cases it is es- that a large majority of the latter will finally be dropped. The work of examination is being as rapidly in possible and will be confined for a long time to pensions granted under the act of 1890. Now that Secretary Lamont has taken a years lease on the Washington residence the the pay j mongers will probably cease start- i stories of his intended early retirement from the Cabinet He will live in good company as his house is next door to that of Sen and within a stone's throw of the White House- The Secretary came here this week to consult with Secretary regard to several matters under . tho State department which were i when the President left ; town, and while here he signed the lease for his house. Although accompanied by Mrs- Lamont whose face is almost as well known as his own the Secretary spent several hours in Washing ton and got safely away before the newspaper men knew of his visit. However, it would not have made much difference, as Lamont is a past-master in the art of talk- without saying anything which Talleyrand said was the first requirement of diplomacy. During the short time Secretary Lamont remained in town he found to decide that Army officers who desire to attend the World's Fair must pay their own fare like other people, and that permissions granted officers to attend the fair do not carry free transportation- While this will upset the plans of numerous Army who have been calculating to take in the big show at Uncle Sam's expense its justness is man- to all. The salary of the Army officers who will visit fair go right along and they should be willing to their own expenses- attorney General has been accused of not looking very favorably upon the practical side of politics, i. e., putting out the opposition and putting in of his own party, but before leaving Washington for a short vacation he showed that to have been undeserved by notifying a number of the assist- ants to the Attorney General with salaries ranging from to that their resignations were desired, and it is stated by those who know that every re- publican connected with the De- of Justice, outside of the classified service, is to be made to walk the plank. A good many guesses have been printed about the chairman- ships of the important committees of the next House, and one of them was that Representative Bland would not again be chair- man of the Coinage committee. Now, it can be stated upon excel- lent authority and without confidence that Mr. Bland will be chairman of that committee in the next House, unless he declines to serve again, and there is no apparent reason why he should do that. Speaker Crisp is not expected here until about August two days before Congress assembles and a movement is now on foot to postpone the democratic House caucus for the nomination of until the morning of the 7th as it will only require a few min- for it to transact its business The canvass for Doorkeeper is going on quiet and all of the candidates are claiming to be safe. There is practically no contest for the other Postmaster and Chaplain- SILVER. Reply to Mecklenburg Alliance. Near Black Mountain, N. C, July 1893. R. W- Elliott, Esq., Sec Mecklenburg Co. Alliance have received a copy of the resolution of Mecklenburg Alliance, adopted at a recent meeting, urging Senators and Representatives to stand by the present silver purchasing law some satisfactory substitute shall be adopted. I observed this action with great pleasure, for two reasons In the first place, it is the of one of the most valuable and legitimate functions by which the Alliance can be made to sub- serve the interest of the farmers tho concentration of their whole influence upon the issues of the day. In view of the notorious fact of combinations among all other branches of industry and in every form of capital, I years ago urged upon our agricultural class- es importance of such organ as would enable them to make their vast bat widely scat and disjointed strength felt, promptly and efficiently, in Now, the preservation of silver as a part of our currency is one of the most vital of all the is- sues which our people have been called upon to decide for half a century. The enemies of silver money have displayed a wonder- sagacity in their tactics. Though scattered throughout the civilized world they have obeyed a single voice from headquarters in London. From New the word comes down the line to all American capital and the response is immediate- What is known as the Sherman law is the only on our statute books which binds as to the use of silver, and the cry is raised for its re- peal under various all equally false- The banks, stock brokers, bond-holders, chambers of commerce, et id genus, clamor for its repeal and urge the calling of an extra session of Con- to assemble and sit daring the dog days for that purpose alone. Tariff repeal, which form- ed chief issue of the past cam- is throat to the rear and the interest of capital is placed in front, to be dealt with under the demoralizing conditions of a fraudulent panic created by itself and called by Mr. banker's Under these alarming stances I have listened, and most in vain, for the voice of the Alliance sounding their opinions and wishes and of those they represent, composing folly of the nation ; giving the feeble and vacillating among pol- to understand what they had to expect if they betrayed the people's this great question- The action of your Alliance is the first official utter- on the subject I have seen in the State. It is time your or- was bringing every atom of its influence to bear. It should use every means possible to let it be known that there is yet and entirely different w in the fields and homes toil, whose interests demand as well as that combination of money dealers, stock-brokers, gamblers and speculators who assume for themselves to con the of the land. The effect of this prompt and united action cannot possibly be doubted. In the next place I was to read the resolutions of Alli- because they concurred with my own most serious con- Many years ago, after as thorough and impartial an ex- of the question as was capable of making, I came to the absolute conclusion that the use of silver as well as gold, on equal terms, as basis of our currency was best for the welfare of the people of the United States. This view has governed my course in Congress. The fact that nature sometimes yielded more of one metal than of the other, thus causing a discrepancy in their intrinsic values, did not disturb me; for I learned from history that for nearly three years daring which a ratio between the two metals was fixed by laws, the fluctuations in sic value had never exceeded per cent, and that soon after that law was withdrawn great and ma- fluctuations immediately began, which will doubtless con- so long as we treat one met- as of fixed and standard value and the other as a commodity. It is not necessary to go over all the grounds in which my conviction was founded. I simply wish to assure you that my opinions are unchanged- Recent developments which seem to have unsettled so many silver advocates and make them give way to the repeal of the Sherman law, has rather strength- me in the determination to yield nothing to the mono-metal- whose schemes I regard as absolutely selfish and unpatriotic. The so industriously ad- is known now to have been created by them; and will be known hereafter as the rich man's panic; the explosion of the Indian bomb is already discount- ed as tho grasping by the govern- of the profits of coining rupees which heretofore had been reaped by British merchant s. The coining will go on as largely as ever, only the Indian govern- will pocket the per cent gain and not the merchants. England does not dare to demon- silver in India, which alone makes her demonetize it at home- There is not spare gold enough in the world to replace the of silver in that country. The attempt to do so would bankrupt half of Christendom and England well knows it The suggestion is pure bluff, and can only disturb a politician who holds a very weak hand- Nor have the allegations so distress- shouted that the Sherman law was causing oar gold to leave the country had any effect on me. From the beginning I knew them to be false. Gold went oat be- cause we owed it abroad and the balance of trade was against us. Shipments of wheat have turned the tide and it is now coming in. Some of our securities did come home and take off gold in pay- but this hurt nobody ex- speculators in them, who were fearful that the price would fall and they would lose money. But even those which did come from abroad came in consequence of the scare got up by our own capitalists. Of course foreigners believed the stories of the ruin and bankruptcy if the Sherman law was not repealed, which our own people told them. Finally, I hope it is for me to say that the hope of ingratiating myself with the administration in order to secure patronage at its hands, has in no sense affected my opinion of right in the premises- How far such a motive may operate in the repeal of that law I have no means of knowing- I however, it will not go a great way. But let things go as as they may, it shall be my earnest endeavor to do my maintaining the cause of the people by preserving the character of their money and increasing its abundance.

A Good Hotel. Readers of the Reflector know how anxious we have long been for Green- ville to have a good hotel. Sitting in Hotel Nicholson, at Washington the other day we could but wish that this town had as excellent a hotel building as that. It is a handsome three-story brick building, conveniently located, well furnished, and spreads an excellent table. Spencer Brothers, the clever proprietors, know how to make their house popular and secure a large pat- It is no wonder that the travel- men love to stop with them, and stopover there Sundays as often as Resuming Business. It is very gratifying to the and we are sure will also be to a host of our readers, to know that M. R. Lang will soon be in business again in Greenville. He is now the northern markets selecting a new stock which be opened at his old stand just op- the Reflector office. Mr. Lang was for years numbered among our leading business men and always car- a stuck of stylish goods- that few towns could equal. Now that lie is to return to a business of the same kind bespeak for him the liberal patronage that he formerly enjoyed. Our readers will be duly informed as to the time of his Good Crops. Mr. W. W. Little, told us yesterday that the crop prospects in his immediate neighborhood are at this time the best he has noticed in the war. During the last three weeks there has been a wonderful improvement in all crops. He also told us that from seeding one barrel of Irish potatoes this spring he harvested a crop that paid him forty dollars, and now the same half-acre in a flourishing crop of sweet potatoes from which he expects to reap as much more. Tin- is just one of the many incidents that show what farming will do. and that more money can be made else than cotton. Now For Those who wish to go to the seaside for a few days will soon have an of the cheapest trip ever offered to our people.

The Institutes for white and colored arc being held here this week, and both are well attended. The one for the white teachers is conducted in the Court House, and besides daily sessions exercises of some kind will be had each night. Profs. Alexander ham, of Charlotte, and M. C. S. Noble, of Wilmington, arc the conductors of these Institutes. The State has been exceedingly fortunate in the selection of these gentlemen as teachers. Those who have attended the Institutes con- ducted formerly by Profs. mid Alderman had about reached the con- that they could never have any successors who wire so nearly born teachers a; they, and yet we hazard nothing in saying that those who have heard Profs.

Tobacco it is said derives its botanical name from Jane who introduced its use into France- Thermometers are being sold to the tobacco curers now at fig- five times as high as they were in January. The mammoth tobacco factory of Messrs. P. H. Co., Winston, was destroyed by fire recently, will be rebuilt. The well known tobacco firm of Bros of Winston N.

R-, three miles west of Morehead City on a beau- hill covered with pine and ceder trees in open of the broad Atlantic is the encampment of the North Carolina State Guard. No site on the North Carolina coast would answer the purpose of i ground bet- than the one near Morehead City. It is named in honor of our late deceased Lt. Col. Daniel N. Bogart. So far as railroad transportation facilities to and from the ocean beach is concern- ed. is a hotter place but the sail boats here fully sup- ply the demand for passage and as most of the Stale Hoard are the country now sailing is sup- posed to be much enjoyable and truly since the Guard first arrived the sail boats have boon busy taking the soldiers fishing, sailing to the light house miles at sea and that fancy might direct. The first and sec- regiments with companies each are now on the grounds.

This was the first trip that we over took on water larger than the Tar and it is nothing bat natural that we were a little frightened, especially so when we tell yon that on return were caught in what tho Capt. called a small it seemed to us like a right good size storm. Fort which is a familiar name to every student of history, is about two miles from City, overlooking the bar and surrounded on all sides by the ocean except the rear. A sergeant of the U- S. Army, from the State of New York, is in charge of the fort. He draws a salary of per mouth- He was very kind and seemed perfectly willing to show us through every department. The fort is built of brick and is said to have cost a considerable sum of money. we had gone through this fortification and saw how everything was so for waning cannon placed for every ten or fifteen feet the parapet and facing the sea every direction, we could but wonder why tho render was made- It must have been like Burnside said, a set of officers who neither knew how to fight or to inspire others- On account of the failure of tho Manufacturing Com- to comply with their con- tracts in regard to furnishing forms, the Wilson Light Infantry and Pitt County Rifles were placed j under very embarrassing stances. This company contract- ed to furnish uniforms by July days previous to the and in order to be sure to get them on time they telegraphed to and they prompt- reported they would have them ready for the encampment.

Harrell has fully discharged his duty in try- to get the uniforms. The manufacturing company are alone responsible for tho delay this should be held in strict remembrance whenever the State has to buy uniforms- With but few exceptions everything has passed off pleasantly among the soldiers. There are of course Bone companies that think they are of so much importance that if it was not for them the State Guard would disbanded but these like individuals would soon be forgotten when they are gone- Pat Foley Jarvis Sugg arc two of tho best soldiers in camp.

But economically veil managed as they been, have not succeeded, and of the more than half dozen that have been started within the last five years, with the closing of the Henderson house there will be but one ware- house tin State- We regret that this has been the history of such houses, because as a friend of the farmers we desire to see every measure prosper that looks to their welfare. There must be some for this. Let us see then what it is if possible. Has it been bad management We think not. Has there been fair dealing toward the stock- holders No. Then the only way account for failure is the fact that they undertook than they could carry out for the charges demanded. This with regard to the Alliance warehouses generally.

The above is a special sent from Henderson to the News and Ob- server at Raleigh shows that the attempt to run a warehouse in North Carolina on cut rate charges has proven a failure. For a long time there was a clam- or among planters that our ware- housemen were making too much money and that the charges for selling tobacco should be reduced. Here in Winston an Alliance warehouse was and a short season of varying success was closed, it did not The Alliance warehouse in Henderson has held out for years but after a long we see that it must succumb to the same It has no doubt been well managed, but after all it did not pay and hence the closing of its doors. The Journal contended when the Alliance people first agitated the opening of warehouses in t ho State that they would not be and asked that the matter be let alone- Had our advice been followed some money would have been saved and a good deal of engendered ill feeling been averted.
