- Concord. N. C.
(CORD, DEO. 23, 1895.
l
A British-born clergymen, ad
dressing? an association of natives of
Great Britain at a Fifth Avenue ho.
tM on Thursday evening, said that a
v'ur between America and England
would be peculiarly horrible because
it would be 4,a fratricidal conflict."
The two courtrits, he declared, are
bcurji together by "the ties of race
HDQ inreieai" as 'the children of a
conn no n mother." :
Even if this were true, says the
New York Sun, it would have no
- ii fluence in preventing war between
the two, countries; At the time of
the Rt-yolution, when it was true, in
Urge maasure, t did not prevent a
desperate , war, lasting for seven
years. It did not prevent them
from again coming to blows in 1812.
Since that period; and more espec
iollv during the last fifty years, the
population of this country of dis
tiucu'ioly English blood lias been
reducf d to a minority there are com
paratively few who cherish any af.
fection toward England. Ameri
ca r. u c f the Kevolu tionary etock are
a anally far from tenderly disposed
toward the "common mother." They
inherit hatred rather than love of
her. The prevailing feeling in this
con ntry, inherited by the people
coming from other races, is general
ly very much the same. They have
no ties of blood to England, and no
affection ! f or her. That is not
Strang?, for nowhere in the world is
England loved.
It Is this prevalent and practically
unanimous American sentiment re
gardiog England, which makes the
policy of Mr, Cleveland's message so
grateful to'our people. If the con
troiersy about Venezuela had arisen
with any other country of Europe,
it woala have proyoked compara
Ttiyely little popular interest. It
-would have aroused great public ex
citement; and hence the settlement
of the difficulty amicably would have
been easier. If the improbable, aU
most impossible, result of the differ
ence should be war between England
and America, the appeal to arms
would be supported by a national
S3ntimsnt here which would ex
pres3 a bitterness of hostility never
before exceeded in the history of
war.
That would be a certain cone:
quence of an open rupture between
the two countries of which . all Ens
glish men, whether here or at home
th uiO be made to have a full uu-
deratandiDg. The talk about fras
ternal love, and of affection for a
common mother,' deceives nobody
here, and probably few there. There
13 no such love. The feeling
rather of hftred.
Hence the diplomatic discussion
of the Venezuelan question should
be throughout cautions and saga
cious, with a view to reaching a
decision which wilL command the
respect' of the American people by
reason of its fairness and justice.
The peace of the world is at issue
in these negotiations concerning a
strip of 8outh American territorj;
and because the issue is so tremen
dous we assume that they will ter-
minato peacefully, Beware of
kindling into a consuming flame the
passionate American animosity to
ward England!
The superintenaent of the Cam
nook coal mine. Where the terrible
and fatal accident occurred last
week, is noc what his name is. He is
known as Cant, but his name does
him an injustice. It was he who
bravely went down in the death hole
to rescue his friends, his hands. He
appealed for help he went down
upon his knees and asked God to
give the bystanders courage to fol
low him in this labor of love and
duty. I

People who read ; newspapers and
complain that little matters in which
cbey are interested tvre not giyen
sufficient attention by the reporters
cr editors, should bear in mind that
newspaper men depend upon the j
public for their information, and if
those people who are inform d on
certain topics fail 'to -give informa
tion to the. papers, there is not much
chance of them appearing inprint. "

colored man named Cox, in Duplin

it' The collector, however, f righ t-
ened the negro into making an ar
rangement to pay the note.

A PREACHErVSDCPEROCE.
"Three months ago, I took a vio
lent cold which resulted in an attack
of acute bronchitis. 'I put myself
under medical treatment, and at the
end of "two months was no better. ,
I found it very difficult to preach,
and concluded to' try Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle gave mo
great relief ; the second, which I am
now taking, has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms,
and I feel sure that one or two bot
tles more will effect a permanent
cure. To all ministers suffering from
throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Bkawlet,
