pression "Be sure you're right, then
go ahead" is a good motto for the
American people. President Cleve
land acts up to this to the letter.
He never goes ahead until he is sure
he is rtghtrarid then let everybody
stand out of the way. The summary
dismissal for it amounts to a dis
missalof the British minister for
his unwarrantable interference in
the domestic polity of this country
is a case In point. The offense was
one. which coula not be conaonea
and the righteous act of the Admin
istration will be endorsed and ap
plauded by every true patriot in the
land.
A curious case lias just been de
cided ipon appeal in a Scottish
Court. A young womau brought
an action of breach of promise
against a young man who admitted
having been entraged to her. His
defence was that she objected to his
smoking and finally said: "Choose
between your cigar and me." He
made the "choice promptly in favor
of the weed, and when she sued him
the Judge held that by offering the
alternative she was responsible for
the swain's desertion, and the Su
preme Court sustained "the decision.
Our local politicians are making
active arrangements for the next
campaign. They ordered a box of
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, and feel
confident and happy.

Hon. Edward Cantwell, formerly

and Mr. King will hereafter con
tinue the business in his own name.
See ad. in this issue.
Drs. S. S. Satchwell and E. Porter
and Mr. W. B. Hocut, of Rocky
Point, were in the city to day. They
tell us that the Democrats are mak
ing a hot fight in Pender county and
hope to win this time.
Mr. J. T. Collins, of Burgaw, was
in the city to-day aud paid us a visit
this forenoon.. He says that every
body in Pender county now is work
ed up on politics and that the Dem
ocrats are making a gallant fight.
The management of the Seacoast
R. R. will run three trains to-morrow
afternoon for the benefit of the
public who may desire to go down
to attend the big Democratic, de
monstration at Capt. Manning's

ule and will probably be . taken ad
vantage of by many.
A Large Increjisc.
The oyster trade from Wrightsville
Sound, always large,has been great
ly increased this Fall, by the facil
ities offered by the Seacoast R. R.
Some estimates are that nearly
twice as many are brought here as
was the case last . Winter. & great
many oysters are brought toWrights
ville, by boats, from other sounds.
Another Illegal Voter.
Jas. Beasly, colored, charged with
illegal registration in , the First
Ward, was before the Mayor this

been disqualified, as he was convict
ed of larceny in Duplin county in
the year 1878. He served his term
in the Work House and has since
been in Wilmington. He was com
mitted, in default of bail, for his ap
pearance at the next term of the
Criminal Court.

' City Conrt.
There was a slim crowd gathered
at the City Court this morning and
a small docket, there beinar onlv
two cases, which were disposed of
as follows: "
Florence Snow, disorderly
duet, $10 or 20 days.
Jas.-Beasly, perl urv,- bound
con-
over
ni.t in ua o f inn i.,tK
bond.
Repudiated by Signers.
We publUh elsewhere a. "circu
lar" which was found on the streets
to-dayv We - want every decent
white man whose name appears
therein to give it a careful squint.
There are a number of names there
which we know have no business
there and which appear through a
misapprehension. Mr. I. Shrier and
Mr. M. T. Davis publish cards in this
issue relative to theirs. The name
of J. T. James is found In the list.
It is not intended, we suppose, for
the editor of this paper, who does
not write his name in this fashion.
But the fact remains that there is no
other white man in New Hanover
county whose name is J. T, James.
There ar-e G7 names on the list.
It is probable that four-fifths of
these will repudiate the publi
cation of their names in the connec
tion with which it is used. They
had some sympathy with the pro
jectors on the market question but
none with them in their unjustifiable
abuse of the Democratic party.
They signed heedlessly and either
without reading the paper or with
out having given the proper atten
tion to its purport. They are Dem
ocrats and will vote the Democratic
ticket. And that is about all there
is in this fizzle.
To the Public.
This is the title of a circular
sheet which has found its way into
circulation very recently. It con
sists first of an extract from the
market ordinance recently adopted
by, the Board of JUdermenv whieli it
is unnecessary to publish now, as it
has already been published in all
of the papers, and then continues
as follows:
Dear Frienils and Voter is of (his Free
Country:
Are we to stand by aud see such
Democratic oppression and misrule
as this and make no effort to put a
stop to it? The Morning Star an
nounced that this ordinance'settIed
the butchering business." We think
that if such men as these are elect
ed to make laws for this country,
they will not only settle the butch
ering business, but also settle each
and every business in whicl very
poor man tries to make an honest
living.
We dvo think thatif "we" voters are
not nore earful in selecting men to
ill! the public offices, that it won't
be very long before soniti Board of
Aldermen will come together and
pass art ordinance abolishing the
homestead law antl the Constitution
of the Uu.ited States.
These political bosses don't car
for the people. Why should they?
The people am not allowed to select
the men. who rule over them, In the
counties they are appointed by the
Democratic committee. In the city
they are appointed by "General
Gerrymander," who is not only a
tyrant, but a cheat aud a fraud also.
Wq have been Democrats and
don't like the Republican party.
But if the Republicans did steal
money out of the Treawryv they
did.not steal our right and liber
ties. Anyhovx tv change, a shaking
up, a new deal, will make us, who
are not politicians, feel better. If
we have got to fiddle for these pol
iticians to dance, let us once in
awhile make them "swing corners."
You Farmers who are prohibited
from selling your pAoduee except
under these restrictions, better vote
for men, who, a,re not so anxious
about fee. 'trade, for foreigners, but
wtVo'dd not want free trade at home, j

This being All Saints Day, joint

Rev. Mr. Arnold preaching the ser
mon. The church was tastefully
and appropriately decorated with
our gray moss and with flowers.
Many beautiful lloral designs were
sent to the church in loving remem
brance of those who had passed
away, and were carried this after
noon to the cemetery and placed
upon the graves of those for whom
they were designed. An interest
luy service was new at 4 o clocK m

tne lodge ot the cemetery, conduct
ed by the Rev, Dr. Carmichael, Rev
Mr. Strange and Rev. Mr. Arnold.
A roster of the dead of the past year
was called and It was noted that
death the reaper had been unusually
vigilant, particularly among the
aged. Seven had exceeded the three
score and ten years, about as many
more had passed, as Victor Hugo
expresses it, the youth of old age,
50 years, while others had been- cut
down in the full glory of their youth
and manhood and womanhood. Of
the lambs five have been sheltered
in the everlasting fold. "Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord."
