KINO CAUCUS, A giiAXce at the use of the caucus in selection of federal senators em phasizes the long warfare -waged aginst the system by Hon. Charles E. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania. For illustration, take a legislature in which one party has sixty-fiTe votes, being a majority on joint bal lot The candidate who proposes to reach the senate against public senti ment and in the face of demonstrated incapacity needs only seventeen of the sixty-five votes to start on. He pro ceeds to howl for a caucus. His friends howL His hired howlers howl, and finally howl power bring3 the six ty-five votes together to vote upon a caucus. Thirtv-threo vote for a cau cus, and from that moment the ad verso thirty-two are told that they "are bound by the caucus." They are warned not to bolt, for that will exclude them from the party. Good, honest party men, forgetting that with the caucus came degeneraoy by depriving public sentiment of any in fluence in a senatorial selection, join in the head-shaking. Tno thirty-two may absent themselves, probably do in a majority of cases, but that does not efface tho caucus. The thirty three become the legislature for the purpose of selecting a senator, and their majority, or seventeen votes, finally makes the choice for the whole body. The Allans have made proposals to tho Canadian government for provid ing a rapid service of steamers on the Atlantic to run in connection with tho Canadian Pacific railway and tho pro posed fast lino of steamers on the Pacific, it being part of the arrange ments made with tho imperial govern ment when they agreed to subsidize thePacific line that a swift Atlantio line should also be provided. It is stated by a member of the firm that tho ques tion involves an expenditure of 1,000, 000. in i ' It is estimated that the present population of the United States is 61,000,000. The total increase is said to be 100,000 a month, exclusive of immigration, and last year tho in crease by immigration was 518,000. At this rato the next census, which will be taken in July, 1890, will show about C7,000,000. m i - George Washington was inaugu rated on April 30, 1789, because the bad weather had prevented congress from assembling and organizing. James Monroe and Zachary Taylor were inaugurated on March 5, 1821, and 1849, respectively, because March 4th in those years fell on Sunday. Tr'e falling off in tho tide of immi gration is attributed, by superintend' ent Jackson, of Castle Garden, to tho net that foreigners are becoming aoro prudent Ho says that they do not como hero now until they are pre pared to make their way in tho coun try. An English advertisement reads "A pious young man desires to be re ceived into a respectable family, where tho excellence of his example and superior morality might be con sidered as an equivalent for board and lodgings." Tho four now states have an area greater than tho entire number of states represented in the first con gress which mot a bundled years ago. i. . . n t Chase Got Ills Seal. The few seats provided on the plat form on tho eastern front of the capi tol, wheio tho president elect takes nis oatn ot ouice and delivers nis in augural address, are supposed to be for tho supremo court, and senate and the house of representatives and other distinguished public men. But the sovereigns are n3 likely to get there as the servants. When Chief Justice Chase left his seat and step ped forward to administer tho oath to Grant an unknown woman stepped out ot tho crowd behind the chairs and took his place. When he re turned to resume his seat he saw that it was occupied. Beckoning the marshal of tho supremo court, he said: "Clear my seat." "Madam," said the marshal, turn ing politely to tno woman, "you havo taken the seat ot the chief justice, ana ue wants it again. "I don't care," she responded sharply, not budging an inch; I'm a free-born American citizen, and I havo as much right to it as the chief justice, and I won't get up." "Your honor," ho said, turning to the chief justice, "you hear what she says." "Clear my seat" said the chief jus tice firmly, and with a look which meant "or I'll nave your oihcial bead struck off." Moved by the look, if not by the words, tho marshal turned to tho woman and said: "Madam, you must surrender this seat. If von don't I shall have to uumnion two negro messengers to remove you by iorce. xnis urougui ner 10 ner lect. "Take your old seat," she said, with a stamp of her foot and a mounting color in ner cneens as sue disap peared in the crowd, while tho chief justice took it with a sigh of triumph. echoed by tho marshal's sigh of re lief.

The teninn Star sava: Mnllan still n rides the stout deck of the Nipsic, tnd the OJga is not the murderous hing we have thought her. This being tho status of things, there is every hope that the diplomatic snbt ility of William Walter Phelns. Mr. Kasson and Mr. Bates at Berlin may preserve our dear old navy harmless from Bismarck's guns and torpedoes. The Evening Critic says: Tho blowing up of the Nipsic having been proved to be a silly canard, let an investigation bo made as to who started it. Was it a stockjobber? A BEFTJTATION. Washington, March 21. The Star saye: A paper has been quietly cir culated around the capital for the past few weeks and has received the signature of nearly every member of the last house and the present senate. It contains a statement in refuta tion of the claims of the Tory party in England that Parnell and Glad stone in their efforts to secure home rule for Ireland are not supported by the intelligent psople of America. EXTENSION TO THE CONTRACT. New York, March 21. The Pan ama Canal company announces that a farther extension of the provisional contracts has been arranged with the contractors, which secures the main tenance of the works and material. The official liquidator does not despair of forming n new company. A BIG COAI. SYNDICATE. London, March 21. A Jcoal syndi cate with 100,000,000 proposes to purohaso all the collieries of Camber land, Yorkshire, Lancashire, North umberland and Durban). The pro prietors of the mines will meet soon at Manchester to consider the syndi cate's proposal. REMARKS FROM JOHN L,. Worcester, Mass., March 21. An associated press representative saw John L. Sullivan, who is stop ping here, in a new role. While talking to a gathering of friends somo ono mentioned Klaine s name. This led the big fellow off upon the unusual strain of politics, lie first expressed his sympathy over Cleve land's defeat and said he liked him because he resembled himself. They both were big, solid men, and both had been kuocked out by their former admirers Cleveland by the people of the United States, and he by the people of .Boston. Agam, he and Cleveland had both gone to New York to get on their legs again. The only thing that he did not like was that Cleveland was a lawyer, lie was sore on lawyers, but recollected that Cleveland was once a sheriff, which laudable position somewhat offset the misfortune of being a lawyer. 'There's Harrison," went on John L., "he's nowheres. James G. Blaine is president. Jimmie's got a big head, and he ain't going to let any one come treading on our toes. I would liko to see Jimmie be presi dent. He's got knocked out several times, bnt he's still in training. What I don't like is what ho calls a vig orous foreign polioy, which means setting a lot of fellows to shoot each other to carry out some Bcheme of his, and I am afraid he will get us into trouble." Hero some one nsked him if he would fight in case of war. "Me go to war? Neverl What, me go? Allow my carcass to be used as a target? I claim that anyman who goes to war is a big chump, it war was to be deolared to-morrow you would seo John L. packing his trunk and making his way toward China. I am willing to stand up and face a man who ha? a gun in front of mo, but to bo a target for sharpshooters in ;the rear, 1 object Thereforo i trust that James G. will go slow." On The Quarantined Steamer. San Francisco. March 20. There was more excitement on the steamer Columbia to-day than there has been since tho passengers refused to go on tho Mexico. The steamer Newport went alongside to tako off tho perish able freight. Tho 120 sacks of oys ters, wmoh nave caused so muon com ment, were the first things removed, and tho passengers applauded tho act loudly. Then the onions were taken out of the hold, and finally tho pota toes. Tho passengers, many of whom had become t'red of being in quarantine, triod numerous ways to get off the vessel. Bribes were offered without number to be stowed away on the Newport. One man got a laborer's jacket and overalls and attempted to carry out n sack of onions. He was not sharp enough and his disguise was easily seen through. Several jumped over the railing on to the Newport and tried to hide in tho caoms, bnt every attempt was baiced by the quarantine officers. Tho steerage passengers passed a vote of thanks to the steamship s owners for removing the "perishable cargo." J. K. Armsby, writing from San Francisco on the salmon situation, says: "There is but little ohange in the salmon situation from that of a week ago, with the exception that abont lUU.UUU oases more Alaska have been sold, and everything is now piohod np except a few packs that are neid at very high prices, it is hard to see how there can be any decline in Alaska Balmon this year. Europe has bought more liberally than ever was before known, both of Fraser river and Alaska, and while they havo touched Columbia river a littlo char ily, owing to the high prices, yet they have picked up everything that has been offered at anything liko low pri ces. George Hume's and Scotchler A Gibb's Sacramento fish have been sold for export at S1.45. Australia has also como in the market and bought freely, and while there may be a few of these European purchases offered in this country, yet the bulk ot trading has been bona fide sales for straight export trade." A Woman's Disco rcry. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years she withstood Its severest tests, but her vi ral organs were undermined ana death seemed imminent For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr, King's New Discovery for Consump tion and was so much relieved on tak ing first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracu lously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lute." Thus write W. C. Herrick & Co ofShe!byvilIe,N. C Get a free trial bottle at .!. W. Conn's Drug Store.
