Democratic repealers of the House
littd a meeting this morning in the
room of the committee on naval
affairs. Twenty or thirty members j
were present. Among them were
Messrs Wilson, of West Virginia,
11 after, llynum, Ontliwnite, Drown,
Hall, of Minnesota, C'obo, of Missouri,
Tracy, Dunphy, Patterson,!
l'jirwig and Biyckner, and others who
had interested themselves in repeal. !
The meeting was called when it 1
was practically understood that the
Democratic compromise was to be j
put through the Senate and the unconditional
repeal men of the House
desired to consult as to what policy
they should pursue. The fact that
conditional repeal was repudiated
yesterday by the Administration left
the mooting without necessity for
notion. There was it discussion of
the situation in the Senate and nieth
o Is wh eh the friends of the rt peal i
should take when the bill should
come over fiom the Senate. Hut no
action by the conference was consul
ered advisable at this time and it. ad- I
jor.rned to meet at the call of the'
chairman.
TIIK VOItllKKS AND WII.SON HI MS 1
MUCH TDK SAME.
There is a disposition among the :
repealers in the House to concur!
with the amendments to the Wilson
hill if it comes over in the shape that
it now known as tin) Yoorhees bill.
The recognized leaders of repeal say
there is nothing in tin) Yoorhees bill
that differs front the Wilson hill
except the declaration at the end,
and if that is satisfactory to tho Senate
they tire willing to adopt it. The
repeal Republicans say that they are
billing to support in the House any
bill which the repeal Republicans of
tho Senate endorse.
There is a disposition in the House I
not to delay the passage of the bill by !
asking for a conference or disagreeing
with the Yoorhees hill. For
ther than this the desire of so many
to get away as soon as possible will
have a tendency to encourage, con eurrence
in the Senate hill. The
Yoorhees bill can bo taken up from
tho Speaker's table and acted upon
at once. Mr. Wilson, of West Yirginia,
would naturally be recognized
to move concurrence in the Senate
amendments. lie could demand the!
previous question and then some
arrangement might be made for debate,
but not very much time would j
be allowed as the, 1 louse, on both J
8 des of the question realizes that
there has been ample debate. The
silver men also realize that any fight
by them would mean defeat in the
end and will probably content thorn
selves with voting against the bill
after a short debate.
AD.IOUHNMKNT VKItY 1'BoBABI.H.
After the silver bill is out of the
way then comes up the matter of adjournment,
or, as some prefer, a
recess. Adjournment promises to be
more popular. The members of tire
ways and means committee have con
trol largely of this matter and the
majority seem to prefer adjournment
to recess. It is not believed that a
quorum can bo retained after the
repeal passes, and some of the rerepealers
even now are anxious about
a quorum when the bill comes over
from the Senate. The difference of
opinion over recess or adjournment
involves the question of mileage.
Members have already received their
mileage from tho extra session and
they think if an adjournment should
be taken they would again be entito
mileago for the regular session,
while a recess and a meeting of this
session a few days before the regular
session would prevent mileage being
allowed.
Ft I.L TEXT OF TlIK VOOUIIKKS 1HLI.? I
Washington, October 24.?There
are twenty-seven amendments to the
repeal bill which have been introduced
as "intended to be offered," It is
not generally believed that a very
large percentage of them will be
offered. Upon this contingency will
depend the time of the disposal of
the bill after the voting is begun.
The following is the full text of the
Voorhoes bill, which will bo substituted
in the Senate for the Mouse
bill:
That so much of the Act of July
14,1890, entitled ''An Act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and
issue of treasury notes thereon, and
for other purpotes,'' as directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
from time to time such bullion to
the aggregate amount of 4,500,000
ounces, or so much thoreof as may
bo offered in each month at the
market price thereof, not exceeding
one dollar of the 371 25-100 grains
of pure silver, and to issue in payment
for such purchases treasury
notes of the United States, be and
c
and the same is hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to ho
the policy of the t'nited States to
continue the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, and to coin
both gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic exchangeable value,
su.di equality to be secured through
international agreement or by such
safeguards of legislation as will insure
the maintenance of the party in
Tallin of the coins of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar
at all limes in the markets and tho
payments of debts.
And it is hereby further declared!
that the efforts of the Government
should be steadily directed in the establishment
of such a safe system of
bimetallism as will maintain at all
times the equal power of uvery dollar
coined or issued by the United States
in the markets and in the payments
of debts.

Washington, l>. t\, October
21. Special: rresident Cleveland's
victory over the stubborn minority
in the Senate leaves the two South
Carolina Senators in a peculiar attitude.
Senator lrby refused to sign the
petition for a compromise on the
ground that it did not meet the demands
of the ultra champions of
free coinage. Atone time his sig
nature was greatly sought after by
the promotei8 of the scheme, but
before he could ho induced to sign
it the heavy hand of the Adminis
tration smashed the compromise
slate. Senator lrby's action was not
prompted hv a desire to uphold the
Administration, but by holding out
against the compromise he material
ly aided tno rresulent'8 friends.
IU)T 11 TAKKHI) Wi l li TH1C SAME STICK.
The South Carolina colony is now
speculating as to whether ho will
receive greater recognition by the
Administration than his colleague
Senator liutlor. The latter makes
no apology for his course, claiming
that he simply acted upon Ins conviction
in opposing unconditional
repeal. The developments will he
close'y followed by the aderonts of
the rival Senators, who are interested
in the distribution of Federal patronage
in the State.
I1KAWLEY A KEI'EAI.EIt FUO.M THE
Ft ItST.
The only member of the delegation
who comes out of the fight
with clean hands so far as the Ad
ministration is concerned is ltopro
scntativc lirawley. His answering
devotion to the cause of unconditional
repeal is apt to strengthen his
influence in Administration circles.
At the instance of UeprdSentative
Hrawley the House ro day passed a
bill pro\iding for the establishment
of a life-saving station on Sullivan's
Island to replace the old station on
Morris Island.
MOW THE IIIIX WAS SUCCESSFUL!.
PUSH El?.
As the bill was introduced and
reported from the commerce com |
mittec l>y Mr. Brawlev he was authorized
to conduct its passage
through the House. When the
bill came up for consideration and
it was found to contain a provision,
recommending the expenditure of I
$5,000 or $.3,000, Mr. Say res, the
new chairman of tlie appropriations
committee, interposed an objection.
Mr. Brawley explained the circumstances
under which it came before
the House, and called for the reading
of the report. The explanation
fully satisfied Mr. Sayres and all
objection was withdrawn. Thus
Mr. Brawley has the credit of securing
favorable action on the first
local hill in Congress.
MCI.AURIN ON ' LEAKING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
By special invitation Representative
McLaurin to-day appeared
before the committee on banking
and currency in support of his resolution
in regard to the currency,
lie used the clearing house course
of his argument, and there was a
spirited controversy between Messrs
Warner. Hull, Broisus, Cobb and
McLaurin as to whether the asso
ciations issuing the certificates are
liable to be taxed alone, or whether
each person who passes them will
j he liable.
j MCLAUKIN PROVES A GRAVE AMRIGUII.Y.
Mr. McTjRurin ooi?t?ndorl ilmf.
under the law as it now stands not
only is the association liable but
each holder in the nature of a penalty.
Ali admittod there was grave
ambiguity in the law, and there
should be immediate action of some
kind. Mr. McLaurin's currency
scheme has attracted considerbly
attention, and lead to the introduction
of Mr. Urawley's bill. The
committed invited Mr. McLaurin
and Mr. Hrawloy to come before
thorn again to-morrow.

A Crooked Cashier Caught.
Oil A Uf.OTTK, N. (J., Oct. 19. ? A
i special from Salisbury to tho Charlotte
Observer tells of the defalcation
of the Cashier I. II. Eaust, of the
First National Bank of Salisbury,
to the amount of $10,000.
The shortage was discovered by
I two young men, the teller and hookkeeper
respectively of the bank, and
reported to tho directors, who detained
Mr. Faust as he was hastily leaving
the bank yesterday afternoon,
lie acknowledged his shortage, and
made it good by turning over to the
bank all his property, real and personal,
which will cover the amount
of defalcation, llis private residence
wont with his other property, and he
is now penniloss. W. C. Blackmer
was appointed cashier in his place.
Cashier Faust had covered his shortage
for several years by ontering up
f Al<nl r# r? " ? ? 1 " ^
iwicimi uanna na uwniff more '.u ins
hank than was actually the case or hy
entering his banks account as Jo wing
loss to foreign hanks than it did owe.
The cashier said his first impulse
was flight, but he is glad now he did
not abscond. He prepared a written
statement for the Observer, frankly
stating that ho wrongfully used the
bank's money, some of it having been
invested in Virginia boom tows,
Shenduu and Glasgow, which was a
total loss to him. lie says he has
badlv managed his other investments
ami has gotten deeply into debt. He
intended replacing the bank's fund
this year, and believed ho could have
done so but for the panic. No man
stood higher in the confidence of tho
community, and much sympathy is
expressed for him. He says he will
remain in Salisbury, where he married
and has frionds. lie is deeply
penitent and wept while talking
with the Observer reporter. Kaust
was never under arrest and will not
be prosecutod, as he has made good
his over drafts.

If I had my life to live over again
1 would insure it. I would begin ut
twenty-one. I would take a life
policy for the benefit of my wife or
my mother or my sister or somebody
very near and dear to mo. If 1 was
poor I would insure for $1,000, for
that would take only $(.) twice a year.
Any young man could pay that much
and if be died young the thousand
dollars would help his mother or bis
sister so much. Funerals are ox- j
pensive uywadays, and a poor man
can't afford to die unless Ins life is
insured. If a young mm who is
getting from $50 to $100 salary does
not spend anything for whisky or
cigars he could safely take a policy
for $3,000 and pay $27 twice a year.
If ho was twenty-live years old it
would cost him only $30 semi annually,
not as much as cigars. If
his salary was $150 a month he could
afford $10 of it each month for insur
ance, and that would carry a policy
of $5,000. tV hat a Mossing that sum
would be to the wife or the mother
or the sister. I know a young man
who carries $10,000 for his father
and mother. Thoy are old and poor
Llo supports them out of his earn

they do and then they would be [
helpless. If he outlives them the!
policy becomes his own.

that a young man can perform. No
selfish or thoughtless young man
will do it. It is like looking death
square in the face, but few young
men will do that. It is the next
thing to getting religion. It is a
confession of mortality. J3ut dea'h
is a fact and if the young man would
8top and think, ho would take a
business view of it and leave the
religion out of the question. Let
him ponder upon the fact that not
half of the men at twenty-five live
to he fifty?that half his life is already
gone, that the chances are
against him, that he will leave soine
body behind him who has been dc
pendent upon him and may sinter
without him. Then if ho is a rea
sonablo man ho must admit that he
ought to insure his life, while it
costs so little and not wait until it
costs so much.
Why not? For forty-years I have
insured my house and furniture and
no liro yet. The insurance company
has got all that money for good and
yet I have taken comfort all that
time. I have slept hotter at home
and felt better when abroad in know
ing that if a fire did come and des
stroy my dwelling the loss would ho
tnado good.
That fire may never come, but here
is a case where death is sure to conn
? a death which in most cases of
manhood deprives the family of one
of its pillars?perhaps its chief sup
port, and yet how few of the young
married men are carrying a policy

only income is his wages to live a

make the laws 1 would require every
young man to take a poiicy for at

A few months ago a young man of
our town died uway from home. His
life was devoted to his mother and
sisters, but it was not insured and
the express charges and other expenses
have been a grievous burden.
How easily he could have carried a
policy of a ?1,000 out of which he
could have beer, buried and left a
good sum for his widowed mother,
I wonder how many of these traveling
young men carry a policy for
their mother or their sisters. Filial

visits of the boys to their homes
is a comfort and joy, but when death

days was equivalent to his being sent
to the penitentiary; for that was
surely his fate, as the people of the
two Carolinas especially know to
their sorrow. His conduct of the
famous Kuklux trials is a part of
the history of the reconstruction
period, the horrors of which, happily,
came to an end in 1870. Judge
Bond was a Baltimorean by birth,
and was a little short of 0o years
old at the limo of his death. He
was educated in New York, hut
returned to Baltimore to begin the
practice of law. His first Judgeship
was that of the Criminal Court of
Baltimore, to which he was appointed
in 1800, while yet tainted with
Know, not hingism. During the
war ho made use of his official position
to oppress H is fellow-townsmen,
and alter the war ruled against
Southern people whenever he could.
He was involved in the Freedmon's

lvx-Senfttor Doolittle. of Wiscou
sin, spcuking of Thomas II. Benton's
J success in securing tho passage of
the famous expunging resolutions
in .Jackson's time, said:
"In February, 1857, just after my
I election as Senator from Wisconsin,
(in my way to Washington to attend
a special session of tho Senate upon
the inauguration of President Buchanan,
I called upon Gen. Fremont
then living in the city of Now York.
, I was introduced by him to Thomas
II. Benton, and at the same time to
Mrs. Fremont, tho daughter of the
I groat 10 x-Sen a tor.
"1 found Benton in the library
J playing with his grandchildren
rolling silver dollars on the floor?
for lie livd just come from a lecturing
tour in New Fngland, and his pockets
were well tilled with the hard
cash. I presented by Gen. Fremont
as the newly elected Senator from
Wisconsin. Benton rose to Ins feet,
i took mo by the hand, and said: 'I am
glad to meet you, s>r; a young Senator
from a young Slate, sir. Perhaps
from thirty years' experience in
the Senate I may tell you something
about tho Senate you do not yet
know, sir, hut you will surely (ind
out, sir. Do you know, sir, where
the strength of the Senate lies?
"To this inquiry I replied that,

i Webster, Clay, Calhoun, I'reston,
Wright and Buchanan were the great
leaders in that body. As a youth it
scented to me the strength of the
Senate was in its great men tutu i.i
their character and brains.
"In his emphatic way he said:
'Voting man, let me tell you what
perhaps will surprise you. The
strength of the Senate is in their
hollies, sir! In their bellies, sir! Shall
1 tell you how I carried through the
expunging resolutions in Jackson's
time? We held caucus after caucus,
I and agreed several times when we
would bring the question to a vote.

to sit the matter out, about
9 o'clock in the evening Mr. CI ?y,
who led the niinoriiy, would rise and
move to adjourn. The yeas and
nays would he demanded and the
motion would be lost. Thou, perhaps,
Mr. Webster would risoand, in
his solemn way, move to lay the matter
on the table. Another call of the
yeas and nays, occupying fifteen
minutes; would declare the motion
lost. Then, after acme speaking or
parliamentary skirmishing, Mr. Clay
would rise again and move to ad journ.
By this time it would be
: 10 o'clock, and some of the majority
would begin to say. 'It is useless;
wo had bettor adjourn,' so an adjournment
would bo acquiesced in.
'"After several such trials and failures
to come to vote, I resolved to
make provision for the weak ones on
our side and to take away from tin*
opposition all reasonable excuse for
adjournment.

The Atlanta //</v/</ is very solicitous
of Gov. Tillman's welfare, as
| witness the following good advice it
! gives Den:
"Governor Tillman, chicl barkeeper
of South Carotin:!, should come to
Atlanta on the first train. Our handsome
chief of police has just captured
a superb gambling outfit. It consists
of or.o of tho finest 'crap' tables
in tho country, the fascinating gatno
of 'Over and I nder/ a 'Hoard of
Trade' and an elegant polka table.
Thoro is no faro outfit and no roulette
game, but these can bo obtained
elsewhere. Governor Tillman could
buy this gaining rig at a b:g discount
and run it in connection \sith
bis dispensaries. Tillman is running
tl\jo dispensaries for revenue only.
Tho State will live on its liquor profits.
Whv not try a gambling Uen?
Tho profits are certain, for 'tho man

is a rare individual. Go tho

Some Causes of "Hard Times.''
A Georgia Farmer's letter.
"There is to much being said in
the country about hard times and tho
scarcity of money and as everybody
has a cause and knows a remedy, I
thought I would write to tell your
readers what I think is the cause.
The trouble is, wo buy more than
wc produce. There is too much Hour
and bacon shipped hero every year.
Tho things we ought to make at
n H
homo wo are buying.
"Wo let our timber rot and boy
our plow stocks, singletrees, ax ban
clea lioe handles and fencing.
"Wo throw away our ashes and
buy our soap and axle grease.
"Wc give away our beef hides and
buy haino strings and shoo strings,
' Wc let our manure go to waste
and buy guano.
"Wo buy garden seed in tho spring
and cabbage in tho winter.
"We lot our lands grow up in
woods and buy our brooms.
"Wc let the wax out of our pine
and gum troos go to waste and buy
chewing gum for the children.
"Wo build school houses and hire
teachers and send our children off to
bo educated.
"Wo land a 5 cent lish with a 5? I
fishing rod.
"Wc scud a L5 cent boy out with
a $20 gun and a $1 dog to kill birds.
"Woraise dogs and bay wool.
"And about the only thing in this
country that there is an over produc.

The World's Fair committee on
awards has decided that the stone
from tho NVinsboro Grjwiito Companic's
quarrios is entitled to tirst
premium for building and ornamental
purposes. This news has afforded
us intense gratification, and it
should be hailed with joy by every
citizen of Fairfield who is interested
in the success and prosperity of lo
cal enterprises. The Winsboro Granite
Company is by no means an infant
organization and during its
life has met with iiiany trying diffi

uuniHs, out tne gentloniou who compose
it have exhibited unusual perseverance
and business pluck.
Their energy has been amply rewarded,
and an already successful
business will be inestimably increased
by the the favorable decision
rendered by the World's fair
Committee.
The men who some years ago invested
their capital in the quarries
had unfinching faith in the superiority
of the granite, and that faith
has been justified beyond all ex|
pectation.
i Their exhibit at the Fair was

most profitable industry. V ?
