war ncare, with the same old
object in view; but as Secre
tary l?lainnn liavina figlit
with the grip, the little man
in the White House is trying
to run tlieiuachinealone.and
there U danger that it may
not work a it did in the ('nil
ian business; it certainly will
not if similar ultitnitmn
bnncoaib is used by Mr. Har
rison. Details are waive a
to why the country is in the
great danger of war with
(ireat Ihitain that the ,id
ministration people say it is.
All that is known is that
Lord Salisbury has notified
the department f Statethat
he approved of the arbitra
tion tieaty that was signed
by Mr. I.laine and Sir Julian
Pauncefote last Monday, but
that he de-lined to renew the
modus vivendi for the com
ing scaling season in Rehr
ings' Sea, and suggested in
lieu thereof a close season
within 30 miles of the Priby
lov Islands.
There s no booming of can
non orsoundingof the-harge
in that, so far as ordinary
folks can see or hear, but it
was enough to bring Mr.
Harrison tearing home from
his hunting trip and to cause
him to call his cabinet hur
riedly together for n night
meeting, which was of itself
enough t o start the most
sensational stories agoing
over Ihe newspaper special
wires, and t h e mysterious
hints dropped by those close
to Mr. Harrison.of impending
danger to the Ameriran Ea
gle, did the rest ill a manner
that was probably highly
pleasing lo tii.-t genlleman;
but now that he has bis war
scare fairly on its feet, vhat
will he do with it?
Do Treasury officials make
a pra ct ice of vi t h 1 1 ol d i n g pay
ment of contract and other
public. Fxpenditures between
the middle and last of the
month, in order to make a
better showing than net ually
exists, in the monthly state
ment issued vit the close of
business on the lust day of
the month? Evidently Rep
resentative Butler, of Iowa,
believe? there is something in
the charge that they do. 'or
he has offered a resolution
calling upon th Secretary of
the Treasury for. a detailed
statement of the requisitions
for money for the public pre
sented to the Treasury be
tween Feb 1" and 29, and of
payments made on the same
prior to Mar. 1 .
The legalizing of his ''coun
ted quorum" by the Supreme
Court so puffed up th ex
Czar with impudence and con
ceit that even the patience of
so even-tempered a man as
Speaker Crisp was at last
completely exhausted; and
the man from Maine found
hi msel f being d rt ist ica lly flay
ed by the Speaker, to whom
he hpd bepn trying to dictate.
And the general verdict, join
ed by many republicans, is
that it ' served him eiuctly
right."
The anti-Harrison republi
cans are somewhat ut sea as
to who to ake up for a
didate, and the iiaui's that
are constantly being put for

The House Committee on
Appropriations made decide
to abolish two entire divis
ions of the Treasury depart
ment, those on Public Mon
eys and Loans and Currency,
because the work done by
them is but a duplication of Imnd or bruin, l ins country
what is doneby tvodivisionsi very far in advance of any
of the Treasuier's office. All
that is necessary to abolish
them is to leave them out of
the annual appropriation bill

now at work.

' dl shades ofopinicais
Mad v i.-ws. The statenn-nts
MihlfniK-Iusions pi-esontod are
my own, for which I alone:
am responsible. If inanyway!
thet serve to elicit truth, or!
a bet tcrunderstandingof this:
highly important subject, 1
will be satisfied.
To my mind, Protection
is simply and solely that
which gives and guarantees
to each and every individual
the just fiuits of toil whether
such toil or labor be of the
other within my knowledge
in the enactment of laws to
to secure to persons the re
sults of toil and labor. There
are three kinds of protection
which our laws foster, which
comes to my mind just at
present, that I would men-hion:-T!ie
Patent Laws, giv
ing protection to the citizen
for 17 years for any useful
and valuable invention. The
rewards to inventors have
Whoever writes a good book
which it is believed will com

cures protection by a copy
right. In fact our most pop
ular writers on free trade who
bring forward every possible
argument, ngninst protection
have taken advantage of the
doctrine and practice they as
sail and condemn, to the ex
tent of securing a copyright
and therefore protection on
their writing. As many of
those works like Henry
George's have had anincreas
ed sale and a goodly fortune
have aceiued to the Iroo trade
writers. Thirdly, we havej
the tariff act; the so-called
McKinley Pill. This benifl
cent law more fully than the
others accords to our people
the right to obtain the high
est compensation and advan
tages possible for all our pro
ductions oe it of the soil or
the labor of our hands or
brains.
The tariff acts in the past
probably have done more
than anything else to make
" wlf-snpportinff and a
strong people aim govern-
meat. Put to enter upon e
veil a limited consideration
of this groat subject we arc
compelled to apply to other
sections of our country tor
J facts to show the great Iieue-
in all sections of our land. It !
is true that there are now ex-'
pet i meat stations, as it were,
which have leen and contin
ue to be, started all over the
West and South; and this
kind of protection will ad
vance still more in these sec
tions in the future, in my
humble opinion.
I regret that I cannot refer
to any large manufacturing
industries and plants in this
region. If we had enough of
them to employ :U the peo
plem our section who wished
to engage in such various
kinds of work,'wevould nt
only be able to show a rapid
and greatjadvancein "wages,
but a sure nnd.Qcertain con
sumption at igoodj prices of
all the -'produce our farmers
choose to raise. We ha ve very
many favoring factors. Our
climate is'such thafjFpeople
can be steadily employed the
whole year through. Xonevd
to stop in summer on ac
count of excessive heat and
our fuel supply is about for
the brief winter. Then our
water power is the finest of
any section with which I am
acquainted.
X To be continued.
There is no wisdom or judg
ment in forcing Hill or Cleve
land upon the democracy of
Xorth Carolina, whentonom
mate either at once imperils
the State and makes it al
most sure forjllarrisonofthe
republican nominee. Xomi
nate a good Western man
with Russell or some equally
as go 3d -in Eastern man a
running mate. Then you will
win, provided, that the pres
ent Congiess d o ? h nothing
foolish to injure tke demo
cratic cause and the platform
adopted is a good one, drawn
upon sound democratic lines.
Hill has been urged upon
the grounds of 'availability.'
Humbug of the first water.
Cleveland is stronger in Xew
York today than Hill is, and
neither is strong enough to
carry that State, and thus
secure the 30 needed electora I
votes. Hill is not "availa
ble" i n a single Northern
State. We believe that or
we would not so state. He
is not probably "available" j
in Maryland or ortn i aro
lina. He is indeed a very
weak candidate the very
weakest of the weak. Let us
drop both Hill and Cleveland,
unite the party, and then go
for principles and victory.
It will be a most inexcusa
ble blunder if any set of men
force any candidate upon the
country and cause the repub
licans to continue in office,
not for one term, but perhaps
indefinitely. Wilmington

THE It KOtt I.
Mil. FniToif In a rocrut
isssue of your p pT, you
gavenn the probable .-a use
of the Aurora Poreulu, the
sun shining on the northern
ic bergs. No one knows what
the true caiie is, yrt tin mu-
rity believe that it is caus
ed by jkctrii ity passing
ti' rough the atinospeie at ei
ther p:!e of the earth: he
light seen in ' hcsouthei r.s
beiiig called the Aurora A
trilis. It is a .ell known ob
servation tint t!i" atmos
phere that surrounds the
earth gets lighter and light
er as we go up, and on such l'.
supposition it isclaimed that
tiif, air does not reach over
one hundred miles above us,
alter the air gives out there
is the ejiher wlii' h is claimed
to penetrate every form of
matter and to fill all space.
Electricity passing through
this ether is supposed to pro
duce the various colors seen
in the Aurora. The supposi
tion is based upon an experi
ment which has often been
performed i n laboratories.
Small glass tubes are filled
with gas and then placed un
der an air pump and all the
gas drawn out, or as much
as possible, being almost a
vacuum, with the exception
of this ever-present ether.
Through these tubs a cur
rent of electricity is passed
which produces all the colors
seen in the Aurora. At the
time these Auroras are seen
there is noticed to be great
electric storms on the earth;
'.v.-iso much on the telo
grapl wires as to carry mes
sages without the necAisity
of batteries. Supposhrj: the
earth to be a great ni gi vt
with tlu-se currents of el ;.lr
ity passing around it nr. a
there baing an extra supply
escaping at the poke? and pen
etrating tlte air and then the
ether, one can get some ide;;.
of the probable, though not
satisfactory, causes of these
beautiful "northern lights."
There is connected with these
phenomena, that of the sun
spots. A very large sun spot
was visible, with the aid of
a smoked glass, at the time
of the Aurora. As I looked at
che spot which appeared n
larger than a pea, I was sur
prised that to learn that it
had been calulated to be 100,
000 miles Act oss, a d o z
;:mcsthe si.e of the lite'
w orld from w! A it was sue..
These sun spots appearatnll
times, but are greatest at pe
riods of 11 years. Some have
placed the cause of the wide
spread sickness and death to
the above mentioned phenom
ena. More and more we are
learning that this our little
world occupies only a small
place in the mii verse of worlds
and is influenced by the ac
tion of the other worlds of
the system.
