Gov. Griggs Would Not Appoint Him Under Any Circumstances. A special to the Philadelphia Press from Trenton, N. J., says: Governor Griggs states that he does not understand that former President Grover Cleveland is a candidate for appointment to the bench of the court of error and appeals, and that even if he was, his candidacy would be of no avail, because the governor has fully decided-to name a republican as Judge Jud Daye being republican, ‘ a al point a democrat in Mis place would’ change the non-partisan character of the bench, nd two republican judges, ‘By naming oe. the court. will stand three Of the supreme court justices five to are fepublicans, and four, with Chancellor Mc- e 5900000 RESTRICT THE FRANCHISE Bauoational ‘Test for Voters Advocated in \ North Carolina. Would Avoid Negro Domination—Gov. Russell Makes a New Attack on the Railroads. Special Correspondence ef The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., October 6, 1897. There is a sharp development of the idea that an educational qualification for voters is a vital necessity in North Carolina. Even the religious papers are taking it up, and in the state organ of the Baptists, one of the most tnfluential and widely-read papers in the state, appears today the following plain editorial: “Without another word it is clear that the negro is an obstacle; clear that inevit- ably the southern country must be retarded in her political progress so long as he is an obstacle. It is clear that he is here to stay. What then? Disfranchisement. It is the only hope. There is but one ground that will reach the mark, and that Is illiteracy. It is a good one; it will stand the test of common sense and plain reason and right. Is it impossible? It cannot be. Is it im- practicable? It cannot be. One year or two years may not achieve the end, but it is worth a decade of struggle. Other 1ts- sues pale into insignificance beside this; they should not be suffered to interfere. If the unintelligent vote of North Carolina could be eliminated the state could then address herself with a single eye to the needs of the people.” The state superintendent of public in- struction, a populist, openly declares he favors an educational qualification. Young Men’s Republican Leaguc. ‘The Young Men’s Republican League is to be regularly formed at a state conven- tion to be held here October 19. Letters from Senator Pritchard, Congressman Pearson and State Chairman Holton heart- ily indorse it. Pearson says there ought to be an expression at the convention ef the party’s attitude toward certain issues in which it will be called on to take sides next year. It is quite well understood what this means. It is that the party proposes to repudiate the attacks on railways made by the wing led by Gov. Russell. It is as- serted by the anti-Russell republicans that he has no strength and that all he has so far done is an effort to build up a party on new issues, or rather to dictate new issues. A stream of demands for lower passenger and freight rates, higher assess- ments for taxation, and annullment of the lease of the North Carolina railways to the Southern, has flowed ever since Gov. Rus- sell took’ office. The anti-Russell republi- cans unite In the declaration that Senator Butler inspires the Russell policy and line of effort. It is certain that they are per- fectly in touch with each other. But the attempt of the governor and Senator Butler to suspend the two senior members of the railway commission is cne of the latest politicai moves. Senator Butler “gave hints that this would be done weeks before the governor took the step. The junior commissioner, an anti-Russell republican, wrote the governor that he did not have the least belief in his authority to suspend and hence would disregard his order of suspension. The populist member cf the commission is Otho Wilson, widely known as a most extreme populist, as that party’s first state chairman and as Senator Butler's most zealous and steadfast sup- porter in all the Senator's rise to power. But Butler’s attack on Wilson and his in- dorsement of Gov. Russell's action have changed the former friend and ally into the bitter enemy, and tomorrow Wilson will issue 150,000 copies of a paper, “The Hay- seeder,” in which he makes the most bitter attack upon Butler and Russell. Gov. Russell explicitly denies a published interview in whichesome traveling man re- ported him as saying the republicans are now strong enough in this state to carry it without populist aid. Democrats Need a Leader. A democrat remarked today that the trouble with that party now is that for some years past demagogues have con- trolled it and have lowered its tone; the reed being for a leader who is a real one. It is certain chat the democrats are more hopeful than in more than a year bast. Yet there is a lack of unity in the party. Some want to make the silver issue para- mount and sink state issues as in the last campaign; others say. white supremacy is the sole and supreme issue. How to rec- oncile the factions will require the best thougnt of a real leader, who so far this year has not appeared. Positive assur- ances are giver of an early campaign next year. The very last semi-political sensation is the presentment by the grand jury of this county of two railways, the Southern and the Seaboard, for giving free passes to state officers and to persons other than em- ployes and those who give an equivalent for the tickets. Gev. Russell, it is said, is to be a witness in this case. There may be many others. The charge to the grand jury, which led to this finding, was by a judge who is a devoted friend of Gov. Russell. The railways naturally regard it as another form of attack. The governor's main attack nas always been against the Southern. With the Seaboard he has been very friendly. Yet one of the leading coun- sel of the Seaboard volunteered to defend the rights of the two railway commissioners whom the governor is trying to suspend. ee KNEW TREASURER WAS SHORT. Sensational ree Made Against Gov. Holcomb ef Nebraska. A special dispatch to the New York Her- ald from Omaha, Neb., says: The bondsmen of former State Treasurer John S. Bartley, who are being sued for more than $500,000 shortage in the treas- ury, sprung a sensation in the trial today when they offered to introduce testimony to show that $350,000 of the shortage oc- curred during Bartley’s first term as state treasurer, and that Gov. Holcomb had knowledge of the Geficiency at the time Bartiey assumed the duties for his secund term, January 2, 1895. The testimony offered was that of Geo. M. Bartlett, who was deputy treasurer un- der Bartley. He was the bondsmen’s first witness, and, after a few preliminary ques- tions, was asked: “Were you present at a meeting between Gov. Holcomb and Treasurer Bartley Jan- uary 18, 1895, when an accounting was had between them as to the state treasury?” The state made a vigorous objection, and an argument lasting the entire afternoon, and which will be resumed this morn- ing, took place. Attorney General Smyth opposed the offer, saying that the defense mi these allegations by competent t and not by what might have been ore ~— tween Gov. Holcomb and Bartley in Bart- lett’s presence. MISS CISNEROS’ ESCAPE. Condition of Her Cell Indicates She Had Outside Assistants.

Moath at Law. as issued the the exports and imports first full month under the These figures show for that month the largest exports of domes- tic merchandise of any August In the his- tory of the government. The exports were $79,490,264, agaist $66,089,981 for August, 189%, For the first eight months of the year the exports were $61,810,000 in excess of the first eight months cf 1896, so that the bureau officials believe that the exports this year will f>r exceed those of last year, which was itself a record-breaking year in the matter of exports. The value of all imports, dutiable and free, for August was $39,548,312, of which $15,620,607 were free. These figures show a decrease of about $10,000,000 below those of 1s¥6, The decrease was due to a heavy reduction in the importation of raw wool, whica decreased from 4,651,000 pounds in August last year to 2,877,877 pounds last August; manufactured wool, from $3,709,000 to $639,000; wood and manufactures thereof, wre 31,968,000, to 1 000; manu: lactures flax, hemp, &c.,. from iron and steel, from and sugars, from WK) to $2,056,000, The following table shows the balance of trade with tre several continents: Exports Imports to. from. $60,515,000 $20,1 497 Europe .......

The Tammany Hall county and borough convention yesterday failed to nominate Croker’s men—Grady and Kienan—for di. trict attorrey and county clerk, respective- ly. The ticket nominated is as follows: For justices of the supreme court—Chas. H. Van Brunt and Francis M. Scott. For justices of the city court—John Henry McCarthy, Edward F. O'Dwyer. For sheriff—Thomas J. Dunn. For register—Isaac Fromme. For county clerk—William Sohmer. For district attorney—Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner. For coroners—Edward T. Fitzpatrick, Jacob E. Bausch, Edward W. Hart, An- tenio Zucca. For president of the borough of Man- hattan—Augustus W. Peters. Francis M. Scott represents the “na- tional” or gold democracy. As a result of his selection the county convention of the “national” democracy indorsed the Tam- many county ticket, but an effort to get their city convention to indorse Van ree the Tammany candidate for ma; The city convention of frica 1,291,000 ‘As a result of the selection of Sohmer vy Tammany as candidate for county clerk, a convention of the united German socicties, representing 105 sccieties, indorsed the ‘Tammany ticket last night. This was not done without a fight, and opponents to this program bolted the convention. The republican county convention last night nominated the following county ticket: For district attorney, William M. K. Olcott; for sheriff, Thomas L. Hamil- ton; for county clerk, Gen. James R. O’Beirne; for register, Gen. George Von Schack; for justices of the city court, Hen- ry C. Botty and Elisha K. Camp; for jus- tices of the supreme court, Charles H. Van Brunt and Thomas Allison. Jacob Ruppert, jr., has retired from the Tammany ticket as candidate for president of the council, and it is expected that Randolph Guggenheimer will succeed Mr. Ruppert on the ticket. ~ Story by Joe Jefferson. From the Boston Herald. At the sixth annual meeting and dinner cf the Old Colony Club at the Vineyard Sound House, Falmouth Heights, Joe Jefferson presided and opened the proceedings with the following story: “The worthy captain has just told me that it is useless to expect of him a speech, but that if he were walking the quarter- deck of a ship he would know where he was. Now, that is where he greatly differs from myself. When I am walking the quarter of a ship I do not in the least know where I am. I am reminded of what once occurred to me. I was crossing the Atlan- tic. The weather was dreadful. Capt. Ash- ley knows what that means. I was trying to guide myself along the deck, and, inci- dentally. to aid others. In this mission 1 ran across a lady lying prostrate on the deck, evidently sorely troubled with that dreadful disease, seasickness. “I said to her, ‘Madame, may I bring you anythirg to relieve you?’ “She looked up at me and ‘teebly said: ‘I beg you will not mention it. Will you also kindly excuse me, sir? “I then said to her: “But fs there nothing Ican do for you? “ ‘No sir, said she in the same tone. ‘Please go away. “But, madame,’ I said, ‘you are evidently suffering. Can I do nothing to help you?" “ ‘I wish,’ said she, ‘that you would go x am not fit to see any one.’ ‘I am sorry, madame,’ I persisted, ‘that I can be of so little service. Can I do noth- ing for yeur poor husband, the gentleman whose head I see in your lap?” “ Oh,’ said she, ‘that is not my husband. I do not know in the least who he is.” : —_ Mallread Bailding in Mexico.
