Mr. Frank Hurd has not yet quite cooled down from the excitement of the tariff contest in the House. A Washington dispatch reports him as saymg in a recent interview : "I am perfectly satisfied with the result of the contest over the Morri son bill. Except for the fact that progress toward revenue reform is checked by the defeat of the bill, I think it is far better for the cause of the reformers that the measure was slaughtered in the way that it was. I feared all the time that some cow ardly compromise would be made in the interest of party harmony. Now that is out of the question." -do you tnink tnat the Umcaero convention will insert the tariff -for-revenue-only plank in the platform?" "Most assuredly at will, in so many words. But I shall urge more than that with my power. I shall insist that the convention shall not only give voice t the principles aimed at in the Morrison bill, but that it shall formally and emphatically endorse the course pursued bv the supporters of that bill. I want it to be clearly defined whether it is possible for a man to be both a Democrat and pro i tectionist. I want to discover whether protectionist can stand upon an anti-protection platform and support anti-protection candidates tor the Presidency and Vice Presidency. My opinion is that the declaration of the convention will be so elear and bold that there will be nothing left for a Democrat to do but to endorse it or to get out of the party. " Mr. Hurd is entitled to his opinions as every other citizen is, and no one questions his right to have hobbies if he feels disposed to have them, but Mr. Hurd makes rather a too liberal use of the capital I, and rather ego tistically puts forward what he will insist upon. We incline to the opin ion that he overrates himself and his influence over the convention which will meet in Chicago, which will be composed we trust of a majority of cooler headed men than this zealous enthusiast from Ohio, who don't believe in "cowardly compromises for the sake of party harmony." Coward- y compromise is Mr. Hurd's way of putting it, and he is entitled to that phraseology if he sees fit to use it, hut if he abhorred a "cowardly compro mise" why did Mr. Morrison change his original bill, and offer one, not such a one as he had contemplated and drafted, but one that would be more acceptable to the Democratic members who differed from Mr. Mor rison, in other words a compromise, and why did Mr. Hurd support this compromise with such ardor and rare eloqnence? He is inconsistent. I He supported a compromise, a bill that didn't meet his wishes nor go as far as he thought it ought to go, but the best he could do under the circum stances, and then has the cheek to talk about cowardly compromises. The man whatever his talent or abil ities may be who aspires to political leadership in a country like this, whose local interests are so diversi fied and sometimes so conflicting, who has no room in his vocabulary for the word compromise mistakes his vocation and ought to retire to the ranks, where he may do better service and less harm. Not satisfied with having the convention adopt an out and-out tariff -for-revenue only platform, Mr. Hurd will "insist" that it also unqualifiedly endorse the Morrison-Hurd wing, and put the seal of condemnation on the forty- one Democrats who had the temerity to differ from and vote against "the Morrison-Hurd measure. Does Mr. Hurd forget that the congressidnal caucus retusea to bind any member on that question and left every one free to vote upon it in accordance with the dictates of his judgment? Was there not a com promising spirit shown by the caucus in that action? After the caucus 're fused to bind, what right has Mr. Hurd to arrogantly claim that the Democrats who refused to go with him forfeited their Democracy by so doing? He is just a little too raid, and considerably too free of speech. It will be a cold day for the Democ racy if Mr. Hurd can carry out !his programme in the convention and make his dictum the test of Democ racy. Mr. Eaton and Mr. Randall, both of whom had national reputa tions as tried and true Democrats be fore Frank Hurd was known outside of the State of Ohio, could with just as much right and consistency "in sist" that the national convention endorse, - them and the thirty -nine Democrats who stood with them on that; measure, but if they . did we would conclude they were losing their senses and getting in about' as bad a way as Frank Hurd seems to be if he is to be judged by his egotis tic aod inconsiderate utterances. The Morrison tariff men say . they will appeal fronv Congress to the people. Well, that's all right; that's at x :i 1 4-An-i tl.,. 4. :C "J question before. ! Wall street, New York, is not a i very extensive street, but more for tunes nave been buried there than m any place of equal area in the old or new world. The meetinc nf t.ho "hiifiinpsa msn" of New York city to boost Arthur's nomination will probably be held Saturday evening. The call has been signed by a large number of Republi- 1 ii cans prominent in Dusmess as wen as politics. This movement is tn h fol lowed by similar meetings in other large cities. James L. Brisbin says : ' 'The North em people are now the friends of the South and wish them to prosper. They desire to send their capital there to aid in developing and rehabilita ting the South, but they will never send it there under any system of free trade, and of that the South can be assured, though such teachers as Henry Watterson should tell them differently a thousand times over." It is suggested that in view of the absolute indifference, if not opposi tion, with which Dr. York's nomina tion has been received by the Repub licans of this State, and his vulnera ble record, the Republican party managers are beginning to recognize the blunder they have made, and may possibly try to repair it by taking York down and putting some Republican up in his place. It is rather late for a crawfish movement of that kind. The opinion is entertained by some that in view of the exposures of Dr. York's attitude when in the Legisla ture on the county government ques tion and on the Western Railroad, the Republican managers will en - deavor to persuade him to "decline" the nomination, which would give them an opportunity, without seem ing to go back on York, to put up a Republican that could harmonize the party in his stead. Dr. York may not be on the "decline," though his prospects of being Governor of North Carolina are. COUNT VON B08CKE. An Interesting Sketch of a Ilrave Man and Ills Romantic Career. To the Editor of The Observer. The following interesting commu nication was written by F. P. V. in the North Carolina Presbyterian, and et me add that this gallant officer is expected in Baltimore, and while there will be the guest of Gen. Bradly T. Johnston. Genls. Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee and others, will wel come him and tender him a recep tion. Count Von Borcke, like Lay fay ette, returns to the land of his former deeds and to see once more his old comrades in arms. Let us extend to him a hearty welcome as becomes a generous and noble people of a lost cause. Probably, should he not fail to make the trip, he could be induced to attend our 20th of May Celebration: R. R. "Count Von Borcke, the daily papers tell us, will visit this couatry m May, to see once more some of his old Confederate comrades. As the paragraph conveys very little infor mation to the average reader, it may be ot interest to give a brier account of this gallant Prussian officer's his tory. It is as full of romance as one of the old time novels that tell of noble Knights and ladies fair, might easily be spun out. then into the traditional three volumes, and will certainly suffer from our attempt at condensation. The world is losing, in its old age, all romance and senti ment, and it is well now and then to have a fresh, breezy bit like this, to bring it all back to us." "Some thirty years ago, young Von Borcke was a Junior officer in the Royal Cuiraesieurs of the Guard, a crack regiment of the Prussian army, and mainly officered by the nobility. tie was tall, lair naired, handsome, the heir of large estates and of a noble name, for the Von Borckes had from father to son for generations held high places at court. He had won, too, the heart of a fair and noble damsel of the court, and all his life seemed bright before him. Led on by his jolly, reckless companions of 'the Guard, however, this young offieer, iu one way or another, became deeply invoivea in aeot. riis ratner was stern and strict, and breaking with him, young Von Borcke determined to come and offer his sword to the Confederacy. He distinguished him self in the army of Northern Virginia, and won a colonelcy and vote of thanks from the Confederate Con gress. He was severely wounded in 1863, and being wholly unnt tor active work in the field, was sent by. the Confederate Government in 64' to England to look after arms and sup plies. He served faithfully there and to the end, being iettarxer the. surren der, without a home or country . !He could not enter the Fatherland be cause of proscription." ! "In 1866 he wrote lnnce D redencK Charles for leave to serve as a private in the Prussian ranks against Aus tria. On account of his Confederate service he was pardoned, his father forgave him, ana the H.mperor (then King William) restored him to his former rank. , . He was promoted and served on the Prince's staff, and ,his father became tremendously proud of him. And now for the part that does not accord so well with the light and progress of this nineteenth cen tury, but takes us back to the afore mentioned old romances. In all his wanderings, through all his suffer ings, unmindful of distance and time and wearying separation, " his love had been true to him. He found his sweetheart of olden days,, a lovely woman now. sua trusting and -true. They were married, and on account of his old wounds, the need which his father had othis help and care in managing his estates, and may i we not add nis own aesire to spena some narc of his life in the quiet ot home. he retired from the army when peace was declared.
