Kvcry one who contemplates the pres
ent )olilical MtuatiuD in North I'arolina
must necessarily be impressed with the
crisis tli at cuulrnnls us. The lime Iiiih
arrived lor the exercise of patriotism and
sacrifice on the part id' every man to
whom the welfare of the State is deal.
From now until November an effort will
be made to place the control of t he State
in the hands of those who impoverished
and debauched her credit when they had
control ; this effort will be more deter
mined because the LVtuocralic party,
which in North Carolina has been the
party of good government, met with re
verses in the last election.
Any one who has witnessed the dis
graceful scenes that have been part and
parcel of every Republican convention
that has convened iu Eastern North
Carolina need not be told what the result
will be when the party of lSb'S again
regains control.
We believe that this threatened evil
to the good of the people can be
averted. We know it is the duty of
every man who loves bis State to respond
to the call when the bust interests of the
Commonwealth are in danger.
When the Democratic Stato Conven
tion meets, of the names that will be pre
sented for the Domination fur Governor
none will have greater claim on the
suffrages of the citiiens than Julian S.
Carr.
Mr. Carr represents easily the pro.
gressive thought of the State, and has
been a leader in every idea of develop
incut and progress.
A North Carolinian who loves his
State, he is a philanthropist who has
never failed to respond to the call of
humanity, and it ought to be the pride of
the people to crown his career with their
highest honor.
In the party, his counsel has been wise
and conservative, his record on the ques
tions of the day puts bitn in accord with
the masses of the people, and of all tb
men whose names are before the public
we believe that ho is the nun uf the
hour, l'laced at the head of our State
ticket, confidence will take the place of
apathy, and with his successful lile as ;
guarantee of his political future, th
Democratic party wlncu lias colore re
deemed the State from the hordes of
Radicalism will once more 'reserve for
the people that order and good govern
ment which has been a part of its history-
Ai.mu.st .'10,000 government employes
were brought with one sweep wthin the
protection of the civil service last week
by the insuanee of an executive order
by l'resident Cleveland making a general
revision of the civil service rules. The
order is the most important since the in
auguration of the system more than ade
cade ago. It takes effect immediately.
Its practical effect is the classification of
all employes below the rank of those sub
ject to nomination by the president and
confirmation by the senate, and above the
grades of laborers, or workmen, with a
few exceptions. The order has long been
in contemplation, and its promulgation,
is the result of au immense amount of
correspondence and conference betw-'-o
the president, the civil service commi -sioners
and the heads of the various de
pirt incuts.
In the deith of Judge John II. Dil-
ard, of Greemboro, the Slate has lost a
valuable citizen. He was a good man
a pure man an able jurist. As a Su
p erne Court judgu bis papers are said to
be utiioiiie the ablest ever handed down by
that high tribunal. The loss of such
men, iu this dry and time, borders on
calamity.

The inaugural ceremouies of the Ten-
