I We are earprised to Bee it men tioned that the grave Vioe" Presi dent Alexander H. Stephens is still unmarked by a stone or monument. The Augusta Chronicle says: "The time - has certainly come for iht erection of a monument and suitable steps should be reinaugurated to this end. Mr. Stephens died while Gorernor of Georgia. Surely the people of the whole State are interested in this work. If not, there ara friends oT Mr. Stephens in I the old Eight district or in the city of Augusta alone who will secure this memorial" ' Georgia should honor itself by erecting a fitting monument in mem ory of-this illustrious, able and pure statesman. Such men as Bishop Pierce, Robert Toombs, Howell Cobb, Linton Stephens and Benj. H. Hill deserve to have their memories perpetuated in bronze and marble. North Carolina ib especially slow in this matter of monuments. It had some fine heroes in the late war not men of the first rank, but able, faith ful, dashing, heroic soldiers in their respective ranks. Men like Pender, Pettigrew, Ramseur, and Daniel should not be forgotten. A monu ment to them and others in the State capitol square would be an honorable and appreciative recognition of merit . and devotion. ' The monument to the Confederate soldiers of the State should be erected, and at Durham, I where a friend of ours will give a large sum for its erection as well as providing grounds, &c. i Of North Carolina statesmen and jurists in the past there is no evi dence to attest the State's admira tion or appreciation of their services and greatness. A group of statues like that which Virginia has erected to bet greatest men in the past would be an honor to North Caro lina. Caswell, Davie, Chief Justice Henderson, Badger, and others should be remembered and their forms re produced by the plastic art and per petuated in bronze. . - 1 ' j I We would say that editors too should be honored, but we remem ber how utterly indifferent the edi tors themselves are in honoring the memory of such an able and high toned editor as the late Peter M. Hale, and so it is useless to i expend pencil and paper in that direction. Of all the dead editors of North Car olina, he is incomparably the greats est. We have not hesitated to say that he was greater than any living editor or ex-editor of the State. The State Press Convention would be do ing a simple duty and j be honoring the craft in erecting a suitable me morial to Peter Mallett Hale. i ! ON THE RIGHT LIRE. j Senator Coke, in his speech in the Senate ou the President's ' message, advocated the reduction of the Tariff to a purely revenue basis. That is right. The only Tariff that ought to be tolorated by honest and fair minded Americans is a Constitutional Tariff. What is a Constitutional Tariff ? The Sup eme Court of the United States says one for revenue only. So the able Texas Senator is fighting on the line'of Supreme Court ruling, and that ought to please all just and honorable men. Senator Coke also opposed the removal of the internal tax, and said it was not bur densome to the consumers and tended to restrict the nse of whiskey and tobacco, which were unnecessary luxuries. We make room ; for the following. He said: 1 1 : ' "This high tariff protection was univer sally defended on the ground of the neces sity of protecting American labor against European pauper competition. : This was all there was of the protection argument and no effort was made to place it on any other ground. But a more false, heartless and groundless pretext had never been in vented to justify or cover up a great wrong. A clearer case of 'stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in' was not to be found in history. . i i : "The capitalist, the manufacturer, the man who hired and employed labor, real ized, through the tariff, from one and a half to five times as much the laborer re ceived. .They became rich, while the la borer remained poor. He quoted state ments and figures to show than ten per cent, would pay the difference between American and English wages, and argued that it was perfectly clear that a tariff aver aging ten per cent, would abundantly reim burse American manufacturers for that differences in wages. ; r i "He said that the high tariff was kept up by lobby of the lords of the loom, who had become rich through protection." Roscoe Conkling was born in 1829. He was doubtless the ablest man in the Empire State. Take him all and in all he was the foremost member of the Republican party;! He was an able lawyer, an orator, a Btates man and an honest and honorable man.. He was too pure to support Blaine and too much of a gentleman to meet the demands of the corrupt party; with which he had affiliated. His death is a loss j to the country and he has no peer among the lead ers of his party. : t I Here is one account of Blaine's health. The description is pathetic and graphic: , ' -',: j ;fv .- ; "Now he is a shrivelled, bandy.legs;ed old man. His face ia thin and blue, his shoulders are stooping; those big, full eyes are hollow, and that big under t lip is as pale as a piece of Carrara marble. No one can form any idea of how he has failed this winter." i ... THE PRESIDENT! I , SIX' v Am awn . First, it Is certain that Mr. Cleve land will be nominated by the Dem ocrats if he lives. Who the seoond man on the ticket will be does not yet appear. lie will oome from the West. ' I Second, the Republican candidate is uncertain. It maybe one of sev eral named. Depew says heiaput of the race. If we had to : name. the candidate (a guess) we would say either BlaineDepew, Lincoln, Alli Bon or Alger, And yet it may be Sherman, Harrison, Gresham or Stanford. Who knows. Stanford is said to be a candidate. Gen. Alger admits that he is. Harrison com mands Indiana. If Blaine wants it he will . get ' it.' He is" I be yond question the most popular man in the Republican party,1 not 'with Democrats but with Republi cans. He can be beaten and we would like to see him nominated. There is but little doubt that his friends are quietly working for him. This seems to be an accepted fact in Washington and in the North. The Albany New York) Times of a re cent date, says: i ; ; "It seems almost incredible that the Re publican leaders should still cling to the possibility of making Mr. Blaine their can didate for President, after his letter of de clination.! That they do so ia beyond a doubt. Even the Tribune, his most inti mate organ, frequently exhibits its tenden cy to a belief that the nomination will have to be given to him. Judge, the comic pa per, last week had s cartoon representing Blaine, or one who could wear his armor, as the only alternative of the party. Such men as Senators Robertson and Arnold still speak hopefully of Mr. Blaine's nomina tion, and others equally prominent and in fluential in the Republican party even go so far as to consider his letter of declina tion a bold move to compel a unanimous nomination." I i This attachment to a man of Blame's smirched character is posi tively discreditable to any party. The only explanation is paucity of material. They are no leaders in that party but Blaine and Conkling. The latter is lying on the ragged edee of life, and Blaine is a sort of - patched -up man as to health. Gen. Russell A. 'Alger, now Gov ernor of MiohiganJ is openly a can didate. We do not know much of him. The Albany Express says of him: j '-He has Michigan behind him. Fur thermore, be is a man of experience, brains. wealth, and generosity. These are four pretty good qualities, i But above them all is General Alger's courage. He not only is a candidate, but he says he is which is a startling admission for a Presidential candidate. Bat candidates being selected, what about the chances? Some weeks ago the Stab gave the outlook as it then appeared. There is no change in the situation as tar as we can see it. The South will be solid for Cleveland, we have no doubt. That will give. him 153 votes.; The Re publican candidate may safely 1 rely upon Illinois. Iowa. Kansas, i Ne braska,- Nevada, Pennsylvania, y?ia- confcin and New England with the exception of Connecticut. This will give - him 144 votes. -California, Colorado, Oregon j and Michigan are doubtful with chances favoring, the Republicans. If they get those States they will have 38 more votes in all 182. I Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey and New York are doubtful with the i. i Democrats having greatly the advan tage. If they should all go Demo cratic it would give Mr. Cleveland 219 votes. If the Republicans should carry New York it would elect their man provided they had the 182 votes as given above. If they should carry Indiana and either New Jersey or Connecticut they can elect provided they get the 182 votes, but that is extremely doubtful. If the Democrats succeed they must have the South with its 152 votes and .then capture New York and Indiana, or New York and Con- supposing that they do not oarry one of the following States, namely : ainornia, uregon, Colorado or Michigan. We think fairly stated that the fighting chances are in favor of the Democrats. It may turn out that Cleveland shall sweep the coun try like Polk did in 1844, or Grant did in 1868. Democrats must take heart and go into the fight to win. Determination, zeal, pertinacity 'and enthusiasm will go a great way. But one thing must be done and mark it. Neglect that and we are beaten. That is organization. Organize first, last au me ume ana tnen stana organ ized. The outcome of the Republ ican war in, Virginia may be three State Conventions. A dispatch in the Bal timore American, Rep., from Rich mond, says: . j i "The wranglo between Mahone and ex- uongreasman Jono B. Wise increases in bitterness and is giving the canvass ia Vir ginia more than its usual amount of novel ty. For instance, John 8. Wise is against Mahone, while Richard A. Wise is support ing Mahone, and in several like instances there are bitter differences in the Reirabli- can family. Mr. John Wise's long and bit ter aeience oi itunone bad the effect of making Blahone's t enemies his own, and there is a third element amuse the Re publicans which is determinedly "hostile to both Wise and Mahone This element is to get both iof them out of the way. At present uabone and Wise are writing bit ter letters against each other, in which Wise likens Mahene to a kitten tangled in a ball of twine, and Mahone likens Wise to a baby who has sucked a aurar raar so Ion it that he cries when it is proposed to take it from him . Mahone is now endeavoring to capture Richmond. The outlook seems to point to two, and possibly, three. Republi can Conventions in Virginia, and a , Winn delegation, a Mahone delegation and a del egation anu to both of these. . the National Republican Convention to decide .between ine tnree." v 4 t - The Sultan of, - Zanzibar is a very much married man. 1 He has 468 wives.

The Stab has again and again shown that the most prosperous pe riod of American history was during the Low Tariff period embraoed in 1846-1800. : There is no possible doubt of this. The official records of the country prove this beyond, all question. We have several times given the figures. " The Democratio Tariff was easentnally a Tariff for revenue only. ARepublioan So. . preme Court of the United States has decided that this is the only Tar iff that is constitutional, and that a Tariff for any other purpose is "rob bery" using that very word. V In 1857," under a Low Tariff, there was too much money raised for, the economical '( Administration then in powe. The! officials bad not then become corrupt enough to squander the people's j money. They would have been set aside for more trust worthy men if they had dared to do bo. m mat year me xtepuoiican party bad control of the House of Representatives. It had about ab sorbed the Whig party in the North. A correspondent of the Washing ton Post writes as follows : . 'The Speaker was a Republican. The Ways and Means Committee was Republi- . The average rate oi amies collected on dutiable goods the preceding year. 1856, had only been 22.43 per cent. This was the very lowest rate in any year ror iony years it was less man naii me rate now imposed, mere naa neen a long penoa or low duties and the rate was constontly fall ing. If a low tariff ia disastrous, those years should nave tested and demonstrated the fact. If.aiow tariff tends to arrest the progress of civilization and the accumula tion and fair diffusion of mealtb, these eleven years: of low tariff should have proved it beyond dispute. How did the statesmen of that day meet the condition of things that then existed? Uid they inaug urate wasteful schemes of extravagant ex penditure t Did any of them propose to raise the rate of duties to the prohibitorv point, so as to reduce the income of the go vernment in that way, as is now proposed by some ultra high tariffitesT -No. nothing of the aind. They went to work and largely reduced the already low tariff rates. Re publicans and Democrats jeined hands to do it. It was a time, too, of fierce party excitement. Party lines were never more stringently drawn. The. new Republican party was forcing its way into power over the weakened ranks of the Democrats. The; had a majority in the House, but by a great majority of more than fifty votes the bill was passed. It went to the Senate, where it passed by avote or os to 8. xnree fif ths of the Republican members of the Senate voted for the bill Among the num ber will be found recorded-the names oi Hamilton Fish, Trumbull of Illinois. Hen ry Wileon of Massachusetts, and William H. Seward of New York." This is instructive and interesting.' It will be new to meet of bur readers. After a quarter of a oentury of the operation of a most crushing Tariff averaging jeome 46 or 47 per cent., the Republicans, aided and abetted by Randall, are doing all they can to y; perpetuate the monster, l here are Democratio papers in the South or papers calling themselves Democratio that are enjoying the fun and clap ping their hands ia encouragement. Are there any such in North Caro lina ? :.: I ! : . James Taylor Jones, of Alabama, is chairman of the Democratic Con- gressional Campaign Committee. He was born in Richmond, Va., 1832.

Fire. A few minutes before 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon, fire broke out in a small frame house on Ninth, between Swann and Nixon streets. An alarm, was stint in from box No. 31, oorner of Fourth and Brunswick, and the fire department was I speedily on the ground. The alarm, was no;' sent In, however, before the fire had 5 made good headway, and the high wind prevailing caused it to spread rapid- ; ly; and besides this, the firemen had difficulty in obtaining water. Five frame buildings were destroyed, land one was considerably damaged. ' All of the' houses were occupied. Two of them belonged to Col. W. P." Can-; aday, one to Mr. S. VanAmringe, one to Timon Counoil, colored, and one to Mrs. Ann Chapman, who also owned the house that was damaged. The fire broke out In one of Mr. Van Am- j Tinge's houses, occupied by Fanny Sontherland, and ia supposed to have resulted from a defective fire place, the fire, when first discovered, being un der the house and close to the chim ney. .;;-:;- -V r-, ; . The occupants 'of .the houses saved some of their effects, but one of them, Mr. W. W. Grarrell, lost nearly all his furniture. The loss altogether is esti mated at about f2,000. Mrs. Chapman had insurance on her house burned, for $200, and . on the house damaged for 400. Timon Council's house was insured for tlOO. There was insur ance also on the houses belonging to Mr. VanAmringe and Col. Canaday, but the amount was not stated. Superior Ctoarf.

Wasxtkotoh, April I 17. Chairman Blancbard. ef the Mouse committee on Rivers and Harbors, says that he has dis covered the secret of the opposition which suddenly developed and defeated the Kiver and Harbor mil yesterday. He declares that a large number of Ke nublican reDiesentatives held a caucus, or secret meeting, and resolved to oppose the passage of the Kiver and ti arbor bill as a means of obstructing the passage of the Tariff bill. They calculated that the friends of the former bill would be forced to de fend it. even to the extent of antaonizion tariff legislation. Mr. Blanchard expects that another effort will be made to pass the River and Harbor bill in a week or two. when further obstructive tactics are looked for: but be declares that he for one will not be driven to antagonize the Tariff bill.

LOUISIANA, Tne Election A Dimeulty.at tne Polls la New Orleans Coaming Ine Vote Ths EleeUoa ofNIenols for Governor Asa nred, Br Teloxraph to fhe Horning Star, !- Nkw-Orlkanb. April 17. A difficulty occurred this morning at Poll No. 3, in the Second Ward, between Thomas S. Nobles, a special officer of the Young Men's Demo cratic Association, and Sergeant Mike Mc Laughlin, of the regular force. i It is slated that some one knocked No bles down, and that he drew his revolver and fired three shots, one of which struck a man named Byrnes in the stomach. No bles and a man named Ketens were locked up. as principal and accessory in the affair. and the wounded man was sent to the hos pital. The shooting occasioned great ex citement and further trouble is feared, j At the Young Men's Democratic Associa tion headquarters it is charged that Major Andrew Hero, Republican campaign man sger, has not kept his party pledge to sup port the Citizens' ticket. He is held respon sible for the scarcity of Republican tickets witn citizens candidates on tnem. At many of the polling places Hero favored putting a full Republican city ticket in the field. i Warmoth, Republican candidate for Go vernor, is polling a good vote in the heavy negro wards. i. At the Continental Guards Armory the Young Men's Democratic Association have a detail of one hundred and fifty men, arm ed with repeating rifles. They will be ca led into service if any emergency arises. Both sides now claim they are ahead, but the managers of the regular ticket are very confident of the success of Davey for Mayor and jrarreii xor Administrator oi Improvements. The counting of the vote will no doubt be very slow, as pasters are freely used by all parties almost every vo ter having personal preferences among the candidates. ' t New Orleans, April 17. The election to-day was generally very quiet, as far as known, throughout the State. J Specials to the Picayune report that the negroes or caddo, .East uarrolJ, Madison. Rapides and most of the Northern parishes of the State, voted the Democratic ticket. The Picayune considers the election of Nichols for Governor assured. ' In Ibeville parish there was a very close contest between the Allain and Jones fac tions of the Republican party. In St. Landry parish a heavy vote was polled for Governor. Indications point to a vesy large Democratic maiority in Tensas par' isn. The ''scratched ticket" seems to have been voted in all sections of the State, con sequently counting is progressing slowly. Nothing definite will be known until a very late hour. : L New O RLE AITS. Anril 18. As re ported last night,' Mr. Nicholls and the rest of the Democratio State ticket -were elected by from 20,000 to 50,000 majority. The count in the city is progressing slowly. . Enough is known, however, to show almost beyond doubt that the Young Men's Democratic ticket has been generally successful. The President of the Young Men's Democratic Asso ciation publishes an appeal to the people of the city, requesting the merchants to send their - clerks at once to the headquarters of the As sociation to assist in securing a fair count. The appeal says: "The Ring is broken. Bossism is at an end. We have colled the votes, and a orood majority is ours. They are now try ing to wear us out by delaying the count." Many regard this appeal as an evidence of weakness, while others consider it timely precautionary ac tion, SOUTH. CAROLINA. Two Blen Ambasbcd and Killed In ' . Oransebarau . - Columbia, April 16.

ST EDM AN FOB GOTEBNOB. Newton Enterprise. Since our last issue two of the lead ing candidates for Governor, Jar vis and Clark, have withdrawn from the race. This greatly simplifies the question, as it narrows the race to four men, Stedman, Fowle, Holt and Alexander. Alexander is much stronger for the second place than the first. Indeed, as the matter now stands, it is almost certain that he will be the nominee for Lieutenant Governor. ! We may be mistaken, but we think the elimination of Clark and Jar vis makes the nomina tion of Stedman almost a certainty. Judge Fowle's friends are very act ive, but he has not the elements of leadership needed in the present campaign, and could not meet Dock- ery on tbe hustmgB. Of the I men now left in the race we most decid edly prefer Stedman or Holt. Lexington Dispatch. With Jarvia and Clark out of tbe way, Mai. stedman is unquestion ably in the lead in the contest for Governor, or in other words, for the Democratic nomination for the office. Some formidable rivals remain in the field, with some possibility, of suc cess; but unless the unexpected hap pens before the last of May, he will be nominated, it is not tbe polioy of the Dispatch to express a prefer ence among aspirants, and it will not do so in this instance; but it will venture the prediction that SteJman will be nominated for Governor and Alexander for Lieutenant Governor. Reidsville Democrat. Judge Walter Clark has written a letter declining the use of bis name in .connection with the Governor ship. This narrows the contest down between three Stedman.
