Today, in the city of Raleigh, one
of. the moat important conventions
ever held in the State is assembled.
Aside from the great National ques
tions which are upon us we are called
upon to devise a means .whereby the
disastrous defeat of 94 rriav be con',
verted into a victory in ,96. It is our
earnest trust ' that - the convention
choose sijch ground as may insure a
victory in November next.
The News & Observer cf Monday
is full of sadness because of the refus
al of Col. J. S. Carr to allow his name
to go before the State convention as
an aspirant for the Governorship. It
appears to us that Mr. Carr should be
allowed to act as he has done without
making it appear that in so doing
he. dooms the State to 'Russell rule.
We should have taken pleasure in
voting for Col. Carr, had he been
the. nominee, but if he does not care
o run why we feel confident' that the
Democratic party still contains a
man in all respects qualified to, not
only mak;e the run, but fill the office
when elected
A good deal is being said about
holding two conventions but to what
purpose we fail to see-
The silver men claim to have more
than two thirds of everything in sight.
If this be true what good could a sec
ond convention accomplish? Why
not pass all the resolutions, rules and
regulations necessary in the conven
tion which meets today and leave
the matter there?
It is admitted, by all, that the
democrats must abide by the platform
which is to be adopted, in Chicago
whether that platform conform to the
wishes of the North Carolina Democ
racy or no Then why all this talk?
Let the, silver men send their dele
gates tb Chicago, where we under
stand there will be other silver : dele
gates to co-operate with them, but if
perchance the majority they now
confidantly anticipate should fail to
materialize let them take their medi
cine as others have been forced to do.
"North Carolina democracy has,
thus far, I been content to abide the
will of . thle majority and the party is

Mn - Fbraker, who assumes to be
close to Major McKinley, says the
candidate for: the Presidency from
Ohio is for bimetallism, and yet when
McKinley himself jis questioned ' on
the subject he gives the same old
answer, "I have nothing to say."
If it is a fact that he isjn favor of
bimetallism, for freei silver, or the sin-
.gle gold standard, why- does he not
meet the issue like a man and say sor
The people have a right to know
where He stands: and if lie really has
any . convictions on the subject . the
country insists tha
known. Of course
that he is absolutely
in the matter, and it is because. Of
this belief that the country has be
gun to feel that hej cannot be relied
upon. What a sad commentary it is
to be . sure that such a man is the
possible nominee lor the suffrages of
the American people for the highest
office within their gift. Advance.
"Consistency, tholi art a jewel !!'
We would be glac! since the senti
ments of the Advan (:e have changed
so much in the last month that it will
now put itself into a j position "to, be
relied upon" by answering the follow
ing question, which we have asked it
several times before, j "If the Demo
cratic Convention nominates a silver
man at Chicago will the Advance '
support him ?" . j
"No man can be relied upon who
hasn't the courage tojexpress his con
victions, and the rule, can be applied
in all spheres of life," even in the life
of an editor. Wilson; Times.

the young men across the way give

In the matter . of opinion, vve have

To be compared with' a presiden-1

tent, is an honor that ;we hardly ex

Our hand, our young friends have!
overlooked one grave jdiscrepency in i
their argument. Mr. McKinley was '
seeking the suffrages pf the people,
he. was asking of them the guardi
anship of their most sacred trust.
Surely under these circumstances or
dinary' prudence would demand that
before delivering saicl trust they
should be made acquainted with the
outline of the prospective trustee's
policy On the other j hand the edi
tor of this paper is asking nothing of
the people, nor does he at this
moment, care to force upon them his
views upon the financial question. It
is more than probable that in the
next few weeks, the avowal that the
Times seems to thirst for will be
made, but its editors may rest as
sured of one fact, nothing that they
maysay or leave unsaid .will hasten
or retard our utterances! the one hun

At the Congressional Convention j
which met at Goldsboro on Tuesday,
F. A. Woodard (present encumbent)
was" named as the Democratic nomi
nee for the position of Congressman
from this, the 2d district. . Mr
Woodard has already served two
terms. He is an ardent advocate of
free silver, which just now seems to
be the winning card.
A JiE W TOBACCO PEST.
A Warning; to Tobacco Growers.
A small caterpillar has been dis
covered mining the leaves of grow
ing tobacco. The caterpillar is about
one-half inch long, greenish, with a
dark brown head. It makes an ir-.
regular or blotch mine by attacking
the green or parenchyma of the leaf
leaving the skins intact and the , leaf
transparent. The caterpillar is ex
tremely voracious and as several usu
ally mine one leaf the leaf is soon
rendered worthless. The insect be
longs to the sub-family of Tmied
moths,, whose best known represent
atives are the clothes and fur moth
and the Angumois grain moth. This
particular species is yet unnamed.
Remedies : Being protected by
the skins of the leaf, ho ordinary poi
son or inseciticide will destroy the
pest nor can it be hand-picked with
out destroying the leal The only
treatment is to watch for leaves show
ing transparent blotches and when
found to remove and burn them. So
far this pest has been reported only
horn one locality in North Carolina,
but it behooves tobacco growers ev
erywhere to look out for it and de
stroy it as soon as it appears. If it
becomes common it will greatly harm
the tobacco industy of the :State.

, In placing the name of H. G. Con
nor before the State convention as an
applicant for the nomination of Asso
ciate Justice of the Supreme court of
North Carolina, the people of Wilson
feel that they are offering to the
State, the Services of a learned jurist,
a profound scholar, an upright citi
zen, and one who always; at whatever
cost, and in the lace of all temptation,
has ever stood the champion of the
right. v ; . j

It is with peculiar pleasure that we
see this man's name go before the
convention, 'land we do earnestly trust
that he may "be chosen to occupy
that position which' his Irare attain
ments so well qualify him, to fill.

There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of thf Eustachian Tube. When this
tube ets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing-, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re
sult, andmnless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever ; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces,

The American says that vnot ; more
than 2 per cent, of the milk sold in
Baltimore is inspected, and that even
the inspection which is had does not
reach the common sourcess ot danger.
-"The water which is used to dilute
the milk is often impure, the water
which the cows drink is filled with
infection, and the hands which milk
the cows are often unclean. There
were in the Johns Hopkins Hospital
recently seven cases of typhoid fever
from a single family, all of which
were traced to milk, arid the germs
which caused the 'disease probably
came from unclean hands in the milk
ing, rather than from adulteration of
the milk." The American says fur
ther, "that the germs of scarlet fever,
diphtheria, consumption and other
diseases are communicated in the
same way: The . wells and water
supply in the vicinity of a dairy are
of vital importance. If foul, which
only a direct examination can deter
mine, they may communicate disease
aldng with the milk, in 'spite of the
most scrupulous cleanliness on the
part of the dairymen."
If the matter is so serious' as here
appears the Medical Society referred
to cannot do better than have the law
so changed as to meet the require
ments of the case. But how about
the cities which have no inspection of
milk at all ?r Virginian.

LITERARY NOTES:
General Harrison on Our Finances.
Ex-President Harrison will discuss"
our national finances in an article on
"The Secretary ot; the Treasury,"
which will appear in the August issue
of The Ladies' Home . Journal. He
will tell briefly of the origin of our fi
nancial system ; its expansion' or de
velopment ; how the nation raises its
revenues, and disburses its moneys ;
and detail the faults of our system of
financiering. Referring to the: meth
ods necessary to maintain our .gold
reserve General Harrison expresses
himself with evident disapproval, and
says that "the present situation would
be absurd if it were not so serious."
The increase or the dimum'tion of the
gold reserve, the ex-President asserts,
powerfully affects every interest, and
the mending of existing conditions
will be a task for the wisest and
strongest, statesmanship.

Said to be Ouarrelling; Among: Themselves.
A report comes from Havana that
the insurgent leaders in Cuba are
quarrelling among themselves, and if
such is the fact, it will -'do more to ad
vance the Spanish cause on the Island
than the winning ol a dozen battles.
A few days ago the statement ' was
made that President Cisneras was to
be removed -and Calixto Garcia was i
to take his 'place, and fallowing this
a rumor gained currency that Jose
Maceo and his brother, ' Antonio,
were to be brought to account by or
ders of Gomez for insubordination,;
and that there is dissatisfaction among i
a number of the smaller leaders. - Of
course these, after all, may be rumors '
only, but no denial has made of the
Maceo aflair, and many are inclined!
to the opinion that there is a ft el ing
of jealousy between Maceo and Go
mez which is damaging- the cause of
the insurgents. The friends ' and
sympathizers of free Cuba in the Uni
ted States hear these things with sin- j
cere regret, and the hope is that-they
are not so, but rumors; only. The
need was never greater for the. Cuban
leaders to be in thorough accord with
each other than now. To quarrel
among themselves is an evidence of
weakness and they cannot afford it.
