withdrawn in tlmBixth District, leaving
Mayor Vaux tho delegate. Two oilier run
tests announced were in Senatorial Districts
and mine four or live in Ropro entalive
Diitrirts. They were referred to the Com
mittee, on Credentials. When the name of
Senator Cnxowas called It was greeted with
a round of applause).
A O Blindage announced thathonppearcd

Ma-shall entered a contest
forllie seat of IVter Monroe, the latter arose
and remarked that bo would like his scat
contested bv a Democrat, ifalall.
Malcolm Hay, of Allegheny, was unani
mously eleelwl tcniHirnry Chairman, and,
n taking the chair, made n short address,
in which he simply returned thanks for his
election.
Committees on Orgsnliatinn, Resolutions
and Credentials were then onii'tituted, in
the usual way, by tho designation of one
delegate from each Senatorial district to
serve on each committee, and it was agreed
that all resolutions presented should be re
ferred, without debate, to the Committee on
Resolutions. A short difcrssion was in-
dijlged In as to the rights of delegates whose
teats were contested to participate in selec
tion of committees.
The Chair ruled that the roll was com
posed of delegates whose seats were nneon
tested, and that no others had rights on
the floor, and refused to consider an p
peal from John I- Rogers, because the hit
ter llad no rights in tho Convention uuder
the ruling.
On motion of Mr. Rlenger, of Franklin
county, It was agreed tint when an adjourn
'tnent was ordered it should be to meet ot 3
p. m. In siipKirtlng his motion Mr, Stenger
said he wanted the work of the Convention
to be done with due deliberatian, nnd ho
"thanked Cud that no whip-crack was
heard In this Convention, and that no man
was big enough to boss tlie Democratic party
in this State."
Mr. Searlght offered a resolution respect
ing the national Indian imlirv, and made a
humorous speech on the sulj.'ct until he was
headed offnn n point of order, and the reso
lution was referred, without being read, to
tho Committee on Resolutions. A recess un
til 3 p. m. was then taken.
The Convention reassembled shortly be
fore 3:30, the house being pretty well
crowded. The Chair called tor the report ol
the Committee m Credentials, but,allhough
several members said the report was ready,
some delay was caused by tho absence of
the Chairman and Secretary of the Com
mittee. Tlie Sergeant-al Arms was sent out,

More pngrtss bus betu made by Con

and tlie necessity of looking alter Con-

one respect, from nearly all which have
preceded them. That Is, the strikers
Lave the sympathy and moral support of
tho publio, The freight handlers at tho
railway piers and depot have been re
ceiving 17 cents per hour nominally,
for ten hours work per e'ay. but in fact,
some of them have bad to spend from
fifteen to Rcvcntceu honrs on the pier, to
get a chance to put in ten hours work,
Thpy ask for an ndvanco of three cents
au hour, so tht-y may get $2 per day.nnd
surely, S12 per week for hard manual la
bor rcrjnlriug much skill as well, is not
nn unreasonable thing to ask. They
have thus far, been orderly and sober
so much so that at the meeting of the
workmen nu tbo four trunk lilies, cen
tering in Jersey City, held on Sunday
night it was resolved that they wcnld not
adroit to their organization aty man who
might so far forget the interests of the
society, during Ihoslrike.as to get drnnk
or to strike a blow. They have had re
peated parades, but no riots, and have
won the support of the business men in
their demands. The Rincular Ruectaclo

of civil service improvement, internal
taxation and tbe t.riff have simply boeu
neglected or temporized with.
It is a palpable fact that our present
raoa of statesmen do not coniagcously
take hold of tbe living practical questions
it the day. Our li'gisl itors are not states
men but politicians whosa highest cou
ception of duty is their own interests,
and who look upon the surplns revenues
as belonging to them, to be log-rolled out
where it will do the most good. 11. cause
ol this, and their seemingly irresistible
penchant lor bungling aud tinkering aud
doing actual misehief, the public gener
ally experiences a sense of relief when
tho sessions end. Alt illustration of the
stupid way iu wbich legislation is ground
out is furnished iu tho Japanese little m-
nity bill, which, as it passed tbe Senate,
required tbe l'rebirieut to pry J-t an
S7SO.000 out of bis own pocket. The bill
was debated for weeks, and dually pa std
iu this bungling shape, with tho addit
ional disgrace of a rrftiuil to return all
thai should have beeu returned, utter
keeping tbe money wrongfully tnkon
uver twenty years, until the principal aud
interest rut a into millions.
Au amusing incident occurred in tlie
Senate on Jlon'e'ay. 1 be bill to extend
the charters of National Utnks was under
consideration, and Senator Vt rhees was
delivering a carelnlly pre tired speech,
which was beie,g listened to with marked
attention. Outside a severe rain and
wind storm was raging, and a small spar
row: flew in ouo ol the open windows and
lonnd its way to tbe Seiato chamber.
The little bird hopped about quite live
ly upon the rail which encircles the gal
lery, at tho simo tiuio chirping nwsy at
great rate. The dignified Senators im
mediately withdrew their attention from
the speaker aud eaperly watched the an
tics of the sparrow, Iu vain the Senator
from IudiaLa endeavored to bold tbe nt
teutiou ol his hearers; they were .too
much taken up with the bird. II. final
ly directed one of the page boys to go up
into tho gallery and capture the sparrow
and then troceeded witb bis speech.

tinns will pr diahly have to give way. It
is charged, that inasmuch as the trnnk
ines have announced a higher freight
tatiff to go into effect on July 1st they
are not averse to havinga blockade prior
to that dav, so that when it is raised,
there will be all the more freight to haul
at the incroased charge.
A WortD OF WARNING
to tho.sa who hold rillway securities, or
those who are tempted to buy on any
sudden spirit of prices. When the re
ports of earnings are made up for June
they will show a lareo decrease by rea
son of the strike. If this should be ad
justed iu any way by July 1st, there will
be an overwhelmluK rush of accumulated
frMght. and at the increased rates. The
freight famines for the first two weeks
of July will show a great increase over
June, and tho bulls will quote this in
crease as proof o large perspective divi
dends, aud a creat speculativo rise in
priceR. The foolish ones will buy at the
top figures, and then, when the spnsmnd
is pressure of freight has passed, tbei
will wish they hadn't. The coming sea
son will be one of sensational report
and desperate Venturis, and the man
who is fleeced at faro or poker, will not

FUTURE OUTLOOK.
Your correspondent takes the liberty
of giving tbo views expressed iu a circu

leal, Emigration Society," J. T. Patrick
secretary, Wadtsboro, N. ft :
"Our prospects as to tho futuro are
bright. We are .an agricul ural people :
nevertheless, our minerals are inexhaust-
able, tbe water-power unexcelled, atid
our forests covered witb valuable timber.
Yet the great fertility of our lends, the
ulldues, of our climate, tree Irom th
scorching and withering heat of tbe South
ami tho extremo cold aud freezes of the
North, all go to point out to us thatwe-
aru smely living iu a favored spot ol the
world a real unrden of the evtrtb. We
ran produce all the leading staple crn s
of the South ami the crops of the Nor b
and West. Nature has not ouly given
us tbe advantages of producing, but it
his provided us with tho means nf work
ing up what the soil produces. Take our
cotton crop, for instance. Iu the cold
northern states the looms are ielle on Re
count of trozeu streams several mo i'hs
during each year, while here we are not

PRICES OF FOOD TO COME DOWN.
The high prices fur food cautint I,i
much linger, tildes, perhaps, meats I e
excepted. Tho h nnn thro'iJhout lies
been uuuiually ( r .pilious for vogetab'es
and frnitd. Already veetab'oi have i -peir
d iu tbe markets in such abuuda' ce
that prices havo b' e nne cornparative'y
eheiip. but not until two or three wee! s
hence will Ihe treat supply from our .
medta'e neighborhood come iu, to 1 rirg
down their cost to fignrea which will em
very low after the prevailing rates ot n e
spring r.ud early summer.
The liili prices obtained for pota'O' s
last yr ar led the planting of a largely i
creaseel ncreago with this vegelahle.w hi h
it one of the most profitable of crops in
ordinary seasons. So fur, hnwe ver.earl)
potatoes have not licon cheep, since tl ey
came from a distanc; but the crop rerr
nt baud is almost rea'ty fur the nvrket,
and it will bo abundant. AW are. there,
foro. nearly over tbe period ofpliiEtin
enally high prics for potatoes. Enmig
mn t come in of the earlier sorts to put
tlieir cost down to about the average for
tbe summer. Wheu the fall crop is fa'l--cred,
there is every renson to expect a
supply so great that potatoes can be
benight cheap,
Fruits, too, promise to 1 e Hbtindnrt
C mtrtiry to the early predictions, tbe
creep of peaches will e enormous. The
Maryland and Delaware, orchnrda will
send enough to assure cheapness nnd the
crop elsewhere promises to be plenteous.
The grain crops are looking exceedii g
ingly well throughout tbe country, and
there is littla doubt that the ie!d will be
mncb ahead eif last year. For wheat.rye,
corn, anil o.tts tbe season has been fav
eirable, as it bas been for the cropa gen
erally. The beantifnlly healthy collec
tion of vegetation is especially observable.
We do not bear as many compl.iinls as
u-uel of nnxinua insects, and liowhero
bas there been reason yet to cry out for
more rain. The grass fa remarkably rich

the bay crop Is all we could hope for.
Unde r such circumstances tbe day nt
a great decline in the prices for food can
not be much longer delajed. l'os'ib'j
btilcher'a meat may leep up to higher
ficures than rnli-d in fnrni"r jears, nuine

but tbe lower rates for other articles of
food must tend to diminish the consump
tion of beef and mutton and to reduce
their price.
