THE
BILL.
The Herald has received a copy
of the appropriation
bill and the report thereon, made
by Hon. Jno. S- Henderson,
chairman of the committee. The
report is a long and elaborate
one, making a pamphlet of
pages, and explains fully all the
objects for which appropriations
are asked and made. The total
amount appropriated by the bill
is including
614-22 for the fast mail between
the great centers the North and
New Orleans, which is
less than the estimates made by
the department, and
more than the
for the fiscal
year. The estimated postal re-
for the fiscal year 1895, in
the opinion of the Postmaster-
General, will be or
less than
by the committee.
There are many in the
report that are interesting and
the honest and faithful work of
Mr- Henderson is shown by the
manner in which the statistics are
gathered and summed up. The
following statistics ought to be of
interest to readers of the Herald.
From the report of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General it
be found that during the
year there were established
post officers, a decrease of 1,484;
discontinued, 1,337, and increase
of number of Presidential
post-offices, an increase of
; number of offices,
65.043, an increase of ;
of names and sites changed,
1,563- The greatest increase in
the number of post-offices in any
of the States for the year was
in Texas; Georgia and in
North Carolina The largest
decrease was in
The total number of post-offices
in the United States on J
was an increase of
over the preceding year.
It is an interesting fact t o re-
cord that out of the post-
offices in the United States, the
enumerated in the table
show aggregate receipts of 30.2
per cent, or nearly one-third of
the total revenue of the Depart-
for the past fiscal year. The
aggregate increase of receipts
was or an average of
or 7.4 per cent per office,
these offices being fair
of the increase and growth
of the postal service for the past
fiscal
These offices are New York,

During the year persons
were arrested for violation of the
postal laws, and of these persons
arrested were postal
postmasters, assistant post-
masters, clerks in
railway mail clerks, letter
carriers, mail carriers, and
other in other grades.
When it is remembered that
there are about persons
employed in the postal service,
the percentage is very small; es-
does this the
of postmasters, inasmuch as
out of the postmasters but
were arrested.
The total number of post offices
burglarized during the last fiscal
year was as against
during the previous year. There
were burglars arrested, an
increase of

The most numerous class of of

It is a fact to which attention
has been called in previous re-
ports, that this crime is a growing
one, and it is demonstrated this
year by the number of office re-
ported burglarized and the
of burglars arrested- While
the entire number of arrests fell

made last year, the number of

Richard Hoops, of Missouri, the Old-
est Man of the Country.
One of the oldest, if not the very
oldest, men in America lives in a
little shanty on the of the
Osage river at Osage City, Mo., ac-
cording to the Cincinnati
Gazette. Ho is a and his
name is Richard Hoops.
According to the statements of.
Hoops, which are well supported by
accessible records, ho was born in
Chatham county, N. C, December
1770, and thus has completed his
year.
Born a slave, he was taken to
Missouri by his owner, John P.
Hayden, while a mere boy. A few
years later he was sold to tho man
whose name he now bears, and lived
with him near Vienna,
until the emancipation of the
slaves. Since that time he has lived
at Westphalia, but for the last
years has made his homo at
Osage City.
Hoops is remarkably well
served, and lives in his shanty.
He fishes a great deal for the big
catfish that frequent tho waters of
the Osage, and Is never happier than
when he can catch a big one and
makes soup of its head.
He is still able to do some work,
and it was only a few years since
he contracted with a farmer in
the vicinity of his home to remove
the stumps and roots off a newly-
cleared tract of land. He fulfilled
his contract, tho work him-
self.
His mind is still clear on many of
the events that happened toward
the close of the last century, and he
recalls with great that ho once
hold the horse of Gen. Greene, of
revolutionary fame.
In appearance Hoops resembles a
mummy; his skin looks like parch-
and he is toothless and hair-
less, but his stop is remarkably firm,
and his eyes bright and clear.
Ho has the record of his birth,
and there is but little doubt that he
is the oldest person in the country.

them permission to drain tho
Swamp and to give thorn the
reclaimed laud which was to

Byrd gives a terrible description
of the place to the King. He

weeks ago that it would
pass the Senate, but did not real-
think then that this body
would act on it soon. The bill
was not even referred to a commit-
tee which is usually the
and come very near passing with-
in three days after it reached the
and would have done so
had it not been for John Sher-
man. The people want the coin-
age of silver and we hare believed
all along that Congress was
to some legislation in ref-
to it- We asserted this
when the repeal bill was under
consideration. We believe
more that if Congress remains
Democratic the present
term of office of Mr. Cleveland
that we may confidently expect
further legislation which will give
us us nearly as possible a
system based upon bi-metal-
The one trouble lies with
Mr. Cleveland. There is much
speculation as to what disposition
the President will make of the
present bill, which only needs his
signature to be a law. Many are
of the opinion that be will veto it.
This belief, however, is mere
speculation because Mr- Cleve-
land has given utterance to
in reference to his intentions
to justify or base a conjecture
upon. It is Known that Mr- Car-
lisle does not favor the bill and
some stress is laid this as
indicating what the President
will do- Those best informed
know this is not the way the
President does things.
The is of the
ion that Mr. Cleveland will sign
the bill and our is
based upon the following
First, the bill is not a free coinage
bill, it simply provides for the
coinage of the silver that is now
locked up in the United States
Treasury and is therefore
fitting no one. Secondly, from
the fact that it is so strongly en-
by his party in Congress
as shown by the vote in both
houses, having passed the House
by a good majority of Democrats
over the combined effort of a few
Democrat's and about all cf the
Republicans, and having received
in the Senate the entire Demo-
strength of that body with
the exception of ten. We
that though Mr. Cleveland might
personally not favor the bill yet
he will yield to the will of his
party so forcibly expressed. It
is predicted by some that he will
allow the bill to become a law
without his signature, which
would be the case if it is not
signed or vetoed within ten days.
It is very evident that this will
not be the case- The record of
the old fellow is all against shirk-
duty. He will face the music
and either sign or veto it and
take the consequences, let them
be what they may. look for
favorable action and think we
can verify this by reporting in
our issue that the bill has
become a law.
If the Senate will now pass the
tariff bill as it came from the
House, which includes the in-
come tax, we believe that the
country would feel relieved and
would say well far as Con-
press is concerned. Lets have
the bill through as soon as
possible.
We heard Mr. Allen Warren
say on the street Saturday that
farmers of Pitt county are
better off to-day than they have
been in five years. The
of the last few years has
been of incalculable good to them
and they are just learning how to
live and to farm- If they could
have bad this experience ten
years ago the county would be
fall of rich farmers to-day. In
short while now you will see no
money laving the county for
anything that can be raised at
home in my opinion the
are the best and
most prosperous era ever known
in The
believes that every word
by the Sheriff is true,
the people have had a hard ex-
but the lesson has been
a profitable one and has learned
them to be self-reliant
THE STATE PLATFORM OF THE
NORTH CAROLINA DE-
The Democratic party met in
convention in the city
of Raleigh May. 1892,
adopted a platform on which the
party itself, in the
most explicit terms, in favor of
the free and unlimited of
silver and of financial reform.
We republish it in this issue of
the for the benefit of
those who seem to have lost sight
of some of its mandates. Upon
this platform we went forth to
battle and saved the State in a
most memorable triangular
In a few months the people
will be invited to again meet in
their primary meetings and
conventions to appoint
gates to another State convention.
Much depends on how we begin
the work of the campaign of
which must be won or lost before
the ides of November- It will
not do to take any backward step
on this great financial question-
The utterance of the party must
be so plain, explicit and straight-
forward that it cannot be
or misrepresented. It
is folly to attempt to ignore this
question or to send it to the rear-
As a party we must meet it and
we urge that it shall be done at
the very begin of the cam-
and in a spirit so frank and
candid that the people may see
and know we are in earnest. The
people are in no frame of mind
to be trifled with and any attempt
at concealment or evasion will
lose us the fight before it is real-
begun. It is easy to write
about a North Carolina campaign
in which State issues to
be discussed but such a thing will
not be possible in the present
temper of the people. The
party loaders may at-
tempt to inaugurate such a cam-
but they will not go far be-
fore they will find that the people
are thinking and talking about
the money question. You had
as well try to keep hungry,
men from talking about bread
as to keep the people from dis
cussing the silver question and
other financial questions in the
coming campaign. If the Demo-
speakers will not disease
these questions the people will
attend where they are
discussed. The people are
earnest an they are not
going to tolerate dodging or
shutting. There is but one way
in which success is possible, in
our opinion, and the sooner we
recognize that and act upon
it the batter for us. We must
make a platform to suit the
and then nominate men to
stand on it in whom the people
have the utmost confidence. It will
be madness to put up men as can-
who ever in
their devotion to the interest of the
people- In fact if the party
are wise they will let the
make the nominations this year
The candidate goes out as
the nominee of a packed
will be overwhelmed at the
polls- Whether the people are
right or wrong they that
the of silver and
the general financial policy
by Republican
Party has something to do with
the shrinkage in values, the scar-
city of money and the general fin-
in which they
have been struggling for
and it is useless in our opinion to
ask them to support either direct-
or indirectly any man whose
record as well as declaration, is
not on the right side of this great
question. If the Democratic
party will not famish the people
with a platform and candidates
to suit them they will seek them
elsewhere.
There are two soon
to be filled from the First Con-
District, one to U. S.
Military Academy and the other

appointments are under the con-
of our Representative in

quested by Congressman Branch

applicants tor these places it will
be necessary hold a
competitive examination at some
convenient place in the district

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington, D.
Well, the expected has happen-
ed. The Senate has passed the
Bland bill for the coinage of the
in the Treasury, with-
out amendment, and the measure
is now in the hands of President
Cleveland. It was well known
that when this matter was first
broached the President
it an unwise step to take and so
stated to members of Congress,
but he has been careful to ex-
press no opinion since the bill
has been pending in Congress,
and now those who are usually
well, in deference to the large
number of Democrats who voted
for the bill in both House and
Senate, allow the bill to become a
law without his signature thus
them the benefit of the
in his mind as to the
of the bill.
The Democratic members of
the Senate Finance committee
had to resort to the very unusual
expedient of asking the commit-
tee to adopt are solution pledging
each member to secrecy while the
tariff bill is under consideration
before they could the making
public by the Republican Sena-
tors of everything said and done
at the committee meetings. Since
the adoption of that resolution
very little has leaked out of the
committee room- The Democrats
on the committee wish, in accord-
with Senatorial custom, to
reach an agreement with the Re-
publicans on the committee as to
when the bill shall be reported
and when the Senate shall begin
its consideration. This they have
up to this time unable to do,
owing to the unreasonable de-
of the Republicans who
act as though they represented
the majority instead of the min-
The Democrats will wait
until week and if the
continue obstinate will
then report the bill and make
their own arrangements as to
when the debate shall begin. The
Democrats on the committee are
still confident that the bill will
become a law by June 30-
It may be necessary to change
the wording of the clause of the
tariff bill which repeals the
law, on of the
marked difference among Demo-
Senators as to what would
be the effect if the bill becomes a
law as it now stands- Senators
says it will repeal the
law but will not affect the treaties
made under that law; while Sena
tors Test, and others say
that the repeal of the law will
abrogate the treaties- This is a
very serious question to the sugar
makers; also in its effect upon the
revenue expected from the tariff
bill, inasmuch as about two-thirds
of the foreign sugar use will
come in free, regardless of the
duty imposed by the tariff bill, if
the treaties now in existence, in-
that with Hawaii, are to
continue in force. The Senate
Finance committee has inserted
a clause in the tariff bill
for the abrogation of the
treaty with Hawaii, but it will be
opposed by Democratic Senators
and it is by no means certain that
it will be in the bill when it is
passed.
Representative Tucker, of
is happy. His joint
providing for an amendment
to the Constitution authorizing
election of Senators by direct
of the people will be favorably
reported to the House.
Speaker Crisp has promised to
recognize Delegate Joseph next
Monday for the purpose call-
up the bill for the admission
of New Mexico as a State. The
Republicans are opposed to the
bill and will break a quorum if it
is their power to prevent its pas-
sage. Effects are now being
made to have a quorum of Dem-
present when the bill is
called- If they are successful
there is no doubt of the passage
of the bill, as it will receive the
vote of every Democrat present-
Secretary Herbert welcomes
the opportunity given him by the
House to officially lay before that
body and the country all of the
facts connected with the fine
posed upon the Carnegie steel
company because of its failure to
keep the armor plates it made
the government up to the highest
possible standard of quality.
The facts are all creditable to
Secretary Herbert and to
dent Cleveland who stood behind
him. There is a popular
concerning those
armor plates which caused the
contractors to be fined. They
were not defective. They all
came within the contract require-
but they were below the
best standard that the contractors
could produce; hence the fine.

Full Moon in March.
Eleven years ago Easter fell
on the same day as in this year.
It was a green March, as this has
been, vegetation was up and the
fruit trees were all in bloom when
on Good Friday night there was
a change in the weather and on
Easter Sunday in the middle and
Western parts of the State the
earth was white with snow and
the trees bowed down with sleet.
We very much fear something
of the same sort this year.

year on the morning of the 21st,

to this moon with considerable
anxiety for they Bay that if the

have made a wiser selection when
they elected P. W. Williams as
principal and Mrs. E- J. Johnson

that Rev- Williams may long re
main in our town to conduct oar
school, with the aid of his two
worthy assistants. All that the
public have to do to keep them

prove to the that

two weeks allotted to the term. It
was one of the best the
standpoint of the amount of work
done, that the county has known.
A large number of cases were
gotten off the docket,,

years. Final judgment was taken
in fifty six cases, besides a few
cases went on to tho
Court, and orders and mo-
were made relative to many
other cases. Judge Bynum will

THOROUGH DISINFECTION.
S x Rules That Conform to the Latest
Approved Methods.
Long before people understood the
manner in which contagious and in-
diseases were communicated
from one person to another, the

of a thorough disinfection of tho pa-
clothing and of the room
which he had occupied; but the
agents formerly employed for this
purpose, included, arc now
believed to be wholly useless.
At present only three chemical
agents are recognized as of value in
completely destroying of
disease and preventing their spread.
These are carbolic acid, corrosive
sublimate and chloride of lime; and
it is at once apparent, to every one
at familiar with these chemicals,
that their employment is necessarily
restricted, as allot them are irritant
poisons when used to excess.
Of the three, chloride of lime is
perhaps tho one which may be said
to deserve the greatest
on account of its cheapness and
the comparatively little danger at-
tending its use.
German authorities advocate the
employment of steam and heat,
justly maintaining that in these
have cheap and efficient agents,
which are also highly penetrable and
at the same time dangerous to but
few household articles.
The following rules may be said to
conform to the latest approved
methods of
