IT- '. . i 1 - A K v 'ftfst. iftK j R. M. FtJRMAN, .n, p- : JORDAN STUN WED'DAY EVE'NG, MAY 27, 5. ""FENCE iiM'ONS OF EXPERIENCE. 'Wfr learn a great' deal i by 'coni parisons. " lire 'y experience . of a single state or a single county is worth more than all the . talk of all the. demagogues, and all the arguments of the -theorist,' on any question In New York State the no-fence law -system prerails. - In North Car olina, the old fence system. " One would suppose, therefore, ifj.he lis tened to the cries of tha i anti-etock law men thai stock raising ; would flourish' more in ' North 'Carolina than m New York.' We tsertainly haveall th Wturwtadvant4zesVi,r Take theTthfee counties": in .New York - State1 that have the largest amount "of lire stock and compare them with the three counties in North Carolina that have the lar gest amount of live stock ; take, for instance, in New York, the counties of Saint Lawrence. Oneida and Delaware, and compare them with Wake, Chatham and Buncombe, in this State -and see what : the ' facts show.;'''! '.,' !". . ' The . value of live stock in St Lawrence is $4,755,039 ; Oneida, $3,933,971 ; Delaware, $2,948,435. The number of farms is, respective ly, 9,278, 8,360 and 5,264. The nntaber-of milch cowtespectively, 93,369, 68,049, 57,673. The value of farm products, respectively, , $6, 046,906, $6,378,153, and $3,788,996. Put this magnificent demonstra tion of. industrial prosperity along side of the facts in out three highest counties, taking the value of live stock as the guage of measurement, and what do we see? The value of lire stock in Wake county is $581,646, or -about one- eighth of that of New York's leading . county; in Chatham it is, $476,788 ; in buncombe it is. $467,801.- The numbers ol&rms in Wake is 4,381, Chatham 3,554, Buncombe 2,560. - The number of milch cows is, res pectiyely, 5,315,' 5,736," 4,350. The vidde cf fiirm product is $2,044,397; $995,369; $521,620. f-Thus, it "is seen that, under the no-fence system stock raising pays better than under the ' old system ; and - the farming industry is in a far more flourishing condition. In the . face of the facts and experi ences of communities, counties and States, the predictions of some that the stock law will injure Buncombe' cbuni become perfectly absurd and ridiculous ; and no sensible man ought to listen to them . a moment Ttie Citizejt agrees with the Pa triot in its views relative to the pur- port pf Mr., Vilas' recent letter and thinks it applies to Biro. Ashe. Not that we desire to lose Bro. ; Ashe from the editorial position which he fills so ably and effectively, but, our party friends cannot permit in our own household that which we have - successfully condemned! in , others. We do not hesitate to say we do not concur in the reasons given by .the : administratiorrfor1 turning out re 'publieanS and appointing vlemc crats. This" is the ' only thing we have found! to condemn in the ad ministration. The change of ad ministration from one party to ano ther involved, if it did not require, a change in the officeholders under ''administrative appointment' This is "legitimate, as well as proper, and the..reaspns ! therefor . should have been placed upon .this ground, with .yfnll frankness, ;Wo dp not say that every officeholder in the Union 'should be displaced, simply because he was a republican; but as it was . legitimate ; and proper to make .changes it should be done .with' ! the frank avowal that it was in accord with the sentiment of the majority of the American people as expressed ! at the ballot box last November, and riot laV! down as excuses, rules -, .. which in themselves are obnoxious to criticism! If an officeholder, of any party, -neglects his duties and . devoteslbis time "which".' the public pay s for in an obnoxious way in politics, or -otherwise, he should be , displacedXipf'nd'tule should be ' "made, which! : infringes his personal rights and privilege of! citizenship; . A"tric;c6nstrticti6u'of therile as laid down by Mr. Vilas would ne- cessitate the-reliremerit of Mr. Ashe 'fro'rn the Newt-Observer; but the rule V- is a bad 'one, and should , be' re- "t-.-voiced. ; '' 'i - I. - ' -" -' ; f Ajj-ealthy stock - company has ' ' 'Wen organized at Washington for 'ihe purpose of issuing a newspaper, U oUe tide of which .'Will, be devoted to ' ;th dissemination of republican doc !' , trines, the other side to be democrat ' ic in politics. : - . 4 E EPISCOPAL CONVENTION i Of the Diocese of North Carolina met this nioning in-Trinity Church and was promptly f organized and put in train for - business. This-is the first Convention held since the diyiiion of the DioceseTarid .is inter esting las "ah Exhibit of the-'strength nd'capacTty oT s'elf supp6rtuhder the separtid nttwpjdioeesesrSo far as demonstration is made, there is nothing to justify the apprehen sions of those who feared that what had supported one would not suffice for Ttwd,t;have rnotjbferi: justified. Th'e Convention of ; East '.Carolina, recently!, .held, . disclosed t r ap very sound financial condition as. well as very fruitful wort; and the1 same exhibit will no doubt be made pf the Diocese of North Carolina. The Convention organized with out hitch or obstruction. The vexed question which disturbed the recent toouvi Carolina Convention was not once named. That has. long since ' . m t ml been acceptepyanasetu.eanereasone oifclshbtofxBodl and p6 nucixi, uuiitiiuerauuu. - iieimer wits relations of the church nor of socie ty have been disturbed by the pres ence of colored clergy in the church; and their seats in convention have never been contested, because their equal rights as clergymen have long since been conceded. . And so the Convention '" is . ready at once to go to work and with har mony. . We do not know that there will be any controversial question before the Contention, or anything that will arouse discussion. The sole and earnest purpose of the Convention i to advance the welfare of the Church; and to that the atten tion . of r both clergy and laity is jointlyturned without idea of ex hibiting skill in splitting-straws or showing ' dialectic alertness ' in playing with troublesome questions. Hon. Saml J. Randall recently said Mr. Cleveland is making one of the best Presidents the country has ever had. He thinks that Cleveland ought to head the Democratic ticket in 1888. Truly, he says, "if the Democrats can't elect him they can't elect anybody." ! . . And Senator Ransom, widely rec ognized as an eminently sagacious politician, puts the question even more forcibly and comprehensively than Mr. Randall. He says, "I have regarded Mi. Cleveland's ad ministration as so full of promise to the country, as calculated to do so much in bringing about good gov ernment and ' realize the hopes of the best men of our party yes, the best men of both parties that I have not "been willing to associate any idea with it that might impair its character or great usefulness. Any thoughtful man knows that ; the American people never ha"f e and never will fail to re-elect a man who has made such a good Presi dent?' ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. j -One of the most prominent and attractive characteristics of . Presi dent Cleveland is his scrupulous regard for the truth and a conse quent frankness in his public and private dealings., "What a grand character it is, to be sure; important always, in all persons; but doubly so in one occupying the position of representative of a people. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Tvmii says : ;!;. , "It is unquestionably true that the President's newness in the field of his present ! operations and want of familiarity with certain methods that belong to national, and are not learned in State, matters makes his work harder than it would be to ,an old stager. But it is admitted on all hands that he is a ready learner and goes up steadily to the head pf the class. It is to be said, also, that President Cleveland is . not only learning to understand new things, but iras the ..capacity, to unlearn what was learned amiss. No man has yet. come forward to say that the President has deceived him or has in the slightest degree wavered from his word. There have been and are still angry men around Washington men disappointed to the last degree, but not one hasl - ll'.l it- T !J L 1 " Jl saio, mat me jrresiueub jjub viuimeu a promise or!,', done anything 7 on which to form the charge of bad faith. How different is this from the usual .experience with new, ad ministrations X' , Promises on ; the stage on which our President is act ing are riot only made in plenty, but frequentlyohly to be violated with de liberation. -1. It is a hard thing to say but experienced politicians are wit nesses to the fact that it has been no uncommon ' thing to hear men in numbers "declare that in former times the President did not keep his word-orily that the language would be ' a great deal stronger. One - fact stands above all others, to wit: That nothing : of the. kind , if heard of President Cleveland, , The ; fact is worth dwelling on. It is a rock in a; sure foundation. . The fact goes far to decide what in an important aspect the luture will be." Victor Hugo bequeatKed, $10,000 to the poor and requested that bis body be placed in a "pauper hearse" in and conveyed to the cemetery. U An extra'session'of the Tennessee legislature convened at Nashville on the 25th.. The work cut . out for it is ample for a full regular session, and proves that either the Tennessee Legislature has riioro to do than that of North " Carolina, or it doe3 not stick to its work as well, iWe would commend it to' the care of the Wil mington Star which has a panaceaj for all such evils which, might work in Tennessee, though , not favored much here. f";.!1' " J'-.

' Concerning the Pension Act. Auditob's Depahtment, T : !: Raleigh, N. C. May 25, 1885. ! , As numerbu's " enquiries are being received at thw officealnsost daily, as . to whether -widows wnoseTius-. bands - died from natural causes, while in the service of the late Con federate States, are : entitled to the benefits of the' pension act, ratified March 11, 1885, 1 take this method of informing the boards of enquiry, named in the act, that it is a ques tion whiehrwill have to be consid ered and determined by the : State board, composed of the governor, auditor and attorney general, at its first : ; meeting,- 7 which will not be held before July or August" I have consulted with the attorney general about the matter, and he thinks it would not be preper for him now to express an ppinion (even if he ! had one) as he is a member of the board and his colleagues on it are entitled to be consulted before he gives a formal opinion. " J The State board,' however, will re quire every person claiming to be entitled to the benefits of the law to make formal application before the boards of enquiry, composed of the commissioners, clerks of Superior courts and sheriffs (as per forms furnished) to the end that each case may be considered on its particular facts. Let the widows set forth with as much particularity as possible the times, places and circumstances of their husband's deaths, the diseases, &c, and whether they died from wounds received in battle or not. These facts will enable the board to intelligently pass upon, each appli cation separately, and the applicant will be notified, so that any fact lacking may be supplied if possi ble.
