Speaker Crisp cut tangle

Democrats in a hole-

All of the Populists voted with
the Democrats nineteen Re-
publicans. There were fifty
Democrats who voted against the
bill with the bulk of the
cans. It will be seen that nearly
three fourths of the Democrats
present in the House voted for
the bill. The fifty that voted
against it were mainly from the
north, northeast and cat.
The bill now goes to the Sen-
ate where it will evidently pass as
there is a strong feeling in this
body in favor of it as was shown
when the bill to repeal the Sher-
man law was being discussed. It
will then be signed by the
dent we will have over fifty
millions dollars of silver put into
circulation. It is probable that
the tariff bill will be disposed of
in the Senate before this bill is
taken up. Meanwhile listen out
for the opponents of Democracy

been pigeon-holed the Senate.
Don't be alarmed the silver bill
will become a law.

It is not generally Known, but it
is none the less true, that the re-
markable series of caucuses held
by the Democratic Senators this
week on the tariff bill were the
direct result of from
President before he
went away. Several Democratic
Senators told Mr. Cleveland that
they were dissatisfied with the
the sub-committee intended
to report it to the Finance com-
and to each of them he
suggested the idea of holding a
caucus that the bill might
be changed sufficiently to receive
the solid vote of tin- Democrats,
Senator although sat- paradise of
with the bill us arrange
by the sub-committee, was per-
willing that a caucus should
pass upon it before it was report-
ed to the full committee. That
is why the bill was turned over
to the caucus, instead of
reported to the full committee.
While there are some
circumstances connected with the
holding of so many caucuses, it is
far preferable, either from a party
or general point of view, that
concessions be made in a party
caucus than that be forcibly
obtained with the aid of
can votes on tho floor of the Son-
ate. Whether the bill finally
reported by tho Finance commit-
tee, to which the returned
it, will be a or worse meas-
than was the Wilson bill as
passed by the House, may be a
debatable but that the
votes of at least out of the
Democratic Senators will be

a fact, that admits of no debate,

Discuss the Subject.
How does the idea strike
citizens of the town that a hi
tax be levied and make some
on the streets that
would be permanent. We throw
this out as a suggestion and open
the columns of the Reflector
for a full discussion of tho sub-
by as many as would like to
express themselves. One thing
is cannot
to make much progress as long
as the town has such miserable
thoroughfares.
Our Work.
The Reflector job office had
another big run of work lust
and turned out some splendid
lots. It is never tho practice of
this office to put in a lot of cheap
just to be able to cut a
little under somebody else's
prices and then run shoddy stock
off on our customers. We use
first class papers and envelopes
and every job turned out stands
on its merits. Good work, good
material, reasonable prices is our
motto, and if you want satisfactory
printing try us.
Organizing.
The Third party has issued a
call signed by Col. Harry Skin-
as chairman, for township
to be hold in
precincts of the county on tho
24th inst., for the purpose of
selecting delegates to a county
convention to held in Green-
ville on tho 31st- The object of
this convention is to effect an
organization of the county for
the coming campaign. They are
starting their plans early, but no
too soon for them to get nipped
by the Democratic frosts next
November.
We venture the assertion that

A Good Man Die Suddenly.
Mr- Peter A- Bynum, of Greene
county, met with a sudden death
while returning to his home from
Wilson last Thursday. He was
troubled with heart disease and
had a stroke of it while riding
along in his buggy- He fell out
of the vehicle and died in a few
moments- Mr. Bynum was a
native of Pitt county- He was an
excellent citizen and well thought
of throughout his wide acquaint-
He was a brother of Mrs.
w. R. Parker, of this town, also
Mrs. John King and Mrs. Henry
King and Mrs- Henry Harris, of
Falkland. To these the sad in-
of his sudden death was
a severe shock. The Reflector
extends its sympathy to all the
bereaved.

Mr. F. M. Hodges, book-keeper
for Mr. Morgan, the American
Tobacco Company, last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
at the Fair. He re-
ports a fine time-
Mr. Jno. H. Carter, another of
Greenville's clever buyers left last
week for a trip to several up
county towns. He will be badly
missed by the fair sex, among
whom he was quite popular.
With Mr. Carter's good looks and
winning manners we bespeak for
him a pleasant time wherever he
may go. He, too, will be early on
the market nest season, and will
make the boys hustle for the
grades he handles.
Mr. J. J. of Danville,
Va., who has been on our market
for several months, left last
Thursday for his former home-
We regret to see him go, but feel
a consolation in the thought that
he will return early next fall, and
be with us daring the entire sea-
son. During his stay among us,
by his pleasant manners,
disposition, and gentlemanly
deportment he has made many
friends, whom we feel guaranteed
in saying will heartily join us in
wishing him a pleasant summer.
In speaking with one of our
hardware merchants, Mr. D. D.
Haskett, a few evenings ago, he
convinced us that he
was heartily in sympathy with
the Greenville tobacco market.
Doubtless Mr. Haskett had over-
heard some remark which sound-
ed something like the one that
was used by one of our merchants
sometime ago and which appear-
ed on this page to the effect that
Eastern North Carolina was worse
off by going into the tobacco
Three years ago when
the Greenville Warehouse was
first opened it was Mr. Haskett
who was first to step forward
offer his cooperation and his
also in getting up a
list of premiums to be given at
the opening break, lie headed the
list with a twenty dollar cook
stove. Numbers of others also
contributed liberally and a first-
class premium list was gotten up.
The tobacco industry was a new
enterprise and no one knew
it would last, but those gentlemen
who contributed the premiums
showed by their acts on that
that they were friendly to
and wished well an enterprise
that was prospering other towns.
A list of the contributors is not at
hand, if it were would publish
it, and if that human virtue called
modesty is not too far gone, it
would the blush of shame
to the cheeks of some people who
honor themselves by the
men- We the business men, the
directors of public affairs
Now to the merchants who say
they have never been
by the tobacco market listen, for
here comes statement
direct from one of Greenville
merchants. Mr. Haskett is doing
a strictly cash business, selling
on a very close margin and
tied with small profits. Ho says
his business has since
the tobacco market was establish-
ed at least calculation per cent.
That he has sold stoves and
hardware to tobacco farmers who
had come to Greenville to
their product from eight
counties, namely Beaufort
Edgecombe, Martin, Wilson.
Greene, Lenoir, Craven and Pitt.
At least half of counties
would never be represented in
Greenville were it not for the
tobacco market- Ho says further
that during the last year he has
been in several towns which
there was no tobacco market
business was not half as brisk as
in towns where there was a market
for tobacco. But why need go
further in unnecessary proof of
indisputable of any
thing is good for nothing. And
in conclusion we only wish to add
that if Greenville had more men
like D. D. Haskett, it is only a
question of very short time before

from Mr. represent-

by this section to investors and
home seekers. We answered all
his questions as best we could,
but when he asked to know if the
town offered free sites to investors,
or exemption from
taxation, we had to state no
I such offer had ever been made
j that we were aware of- Why not
have a meeting of our citizens
and make such an offer. It would
in the end pay the town hand-
Possibly by such a pro-
position we might induce out-
side capital to build us more
prize houses, plug
which would greatly add to the
material advancement of the old
town. Our people are clever, we
have good educational advantages,
the steeples of nearly a dozen
churches point Heavenward, and
all that, but to induce moneyed
men to come among us and in-
vest their means, we may expect
to offer some other inducement
aside from these. This is a pro-
age. If we sit idly down
and let other towns make more
efforts to build up than
we do, we can hardly hope to
amount to among the grow-
towns of the State. As we
have often stated in these columns

Affectionate Epithets and Caresses as
Westerners Use Absolutely Unknown la
the Only Be-
by an Exquisite Courtesy.
Mr. in his paper,
the Eternal in the
Atlantic, thus refers to one of the
many differences between
and fiction of Japan and those of
western
I must touch upon one feature of
western literature never to be
with Japanese ideas and
toms. Let the reader reflect for a
moment how large a place the sub-
kisses and caresses and em-
braces occupies in our poetry and in
our prose fiction; and then let him
consider tho fact that in Japanese
literature these have no existence
whatever. For kisses and embraces
are simply unknown in Japan as
tokens affection, if we except the
solitary fact that Japanese mothers,
like mothers all over the world, lip
and hug their little ones betimes.
After babyhood there is no more
hugging or kissing. Such actions ex-
in the case of infants arc held to
be highly immodest. Never do girls
kiss one another; never do parents
kiss or embrace their children
who have become able to walk. And
this rule holds good of all classes of
society, from the highest nobility to
the humblest peasantry. Neither
have we the least indication through-
out Japanese literature of any time
in the history of the race when
was more demonstrative than
it is to-day. Perhaps the western
reader will find it hard even to
a literature in the whole
course of which is no mention of kiss-
of embracing, even of pressing
a loved hand; for hand-clasping is an
action as totally foreign to Japanese
Impulse as kissing. Yet on these
topics even the native songs of the
country folk, even the old ballads
of the people unhappy lovers,
are quite as silent as exquisite
verses of the court poets. Suppose
we take for an example tho ancient
popular ballad of
which has given origin to various
proverbs and household words
throughout western Japan. Here we
have the story of two betrothed
lovers long separated by a cruel
misfortune wandering in search of
each other all over the empire and
at last suddenly meeting before
temple by the favor of
the gods. Would not any Aryan
poet describe such a meeting as a
rushing of the two into each other's
arms, with kisses and cries of love
But how does the old Japanese
lad describe it In brief, tho twain
only sit down together and stroke
each other a little. Now, even this
reserved form of caress is an ex-
rare of emotion.
You may see again and fathers
and sons, husbands and wives, moth-
and daughters, meeting after
years of absence, yet you will prob-
ably never see the approach to a
caress between them.
They will kneel down and salute
each other and smile, and perhaps
cry a little for joy, but they will
neither rush into each other's arms
nor utter extraordinary phrases
affection. Indeed, such terms of

my
do not exist in Japanese, nor any
terms at all equivalent to our
idioms. Japanese affection is
not uttered in words; it scarcely
pears even in the tone of voice; it is
chiefly shown in acts of exquisite
courtesy and kindness. I might add
that the opposite emotion is under
equally perfect control, but to illus-
this remarkable fact would re-
quire a separate essay.
Old London Bridge.
New London bridge was opened in
1831. Old London bridge was a
It dated back to the year
A. D., and at least three wooden
bridges known to have occupied
the same site prior to that date.
The old bridge was slightly over
nine hundred feet in length, accord-
to the St. Louis Republic, and
had eighteen solid stone piers, vary-
in thickness from twenty-five
to thirty-four feet, thus confining
the flow of the river to less than half
its natural channel. The entire
face of the bridge was occupied by
blocks of brick and stone buildings
on arches, with the road-
way running tunnel-like
some of them four stories high. All
of these bridge buildings were dense-
packed with human beings one
time estimated at one thousand
seven carrying on all the
trades and other vocations of life.
Spanning the two center piers was a
huge church building, dedicated to
St. Thomas, of Canterbury, but
usually styled Peters of the
In very early time the arch open-
from the bridge toward the city
was called and it
was no unusual thing to see the
heads of a dozen executed criminals
hanging over it.
New Story of Mark Twain.
