CLEVELAND'S THANKS. A Maryland Tariff Reform Cluh I"eets Him au Honorary .11 in her. Ex Pre-ident Cleveland has writ-ii-u ili- following letter to the Secre tin nf the Maryland Tariff Reform ' I It, uuier date" of June 11 : V ii- letter informing me of my el ti.ai as an honorary member of lite Maryland Tarirf Reform Club is received. 1 accept the courtesy thus tendered mi with thanks. The ob ject and purposes of the clnb as set fbrth in the declaration accompany ing. your letter have my heartiest sympathy and sut port; and I believe their: accompliahment absolutely es sential to the greatest prosperity f our people an 1 the highest de7elop rueut of our country. You must, however, permit me to say that so far as parties are concerned, my bo;ie and reliance for a better condition of things is upou the Democratic Party organization, which, in ray opinion, aouot be true to its traditions and ancient creed without a hearty and sincere espousal of the cause to which your club is devoted. Confederate Soldiers. North Carolina sect nearly one hundred an I fifty thousand men into the armies of the Confederate States: a larger quota, by far, than any other Southern State Her killed ou the field of battle was nearly double that of any of her sisters. It fol lows that she has more m timed than any of the other States; and conse vuently mire dependent eufferers from wounds ot the war. It is a proud privilege t-t hail from North Carolina, eyer since her illustrated North Carolina heroism and valor in the war, bat it is an unpleasant re flection that some of the best and bravest of these are to-day the in mates of county poor houses, as we know they are; while many others are objects of charity, and begging from door to door. A home could be maintained for all that are in want or distress, as easily as th Oxford Orphan Asylum is maintained by the Mawnic fraternity; and it will be to our everlasting shame and disgrace, if we do not build the bora a and maintain these grand old soldiers. Wilmington Mesrenjer. THE VALUE OP TIME. Punctuality ought to be regarded as a cardinal virtue. When we are having our celebrations of the cent tennial of our country's progress, and the inauguration of our Government untb r Washington as first President, it would be well for all to rememtei that it was his distinguishing charac teristic to be prompt, and he expected us to be the same with him. Even guests when invited to dine with him. ha allowed five minutes for the difference in watcher, and at the en J of time he sat djwn to the table with those who were present, and any guet who took Lis seat afterwards would feel so uncomfortable that he would not feci disposed again to be tardy. Adherence to this simple rule, rigidly enforced, taught a lei sou whoe influence was felt through, out the whole country. How sadly is the neglect of both pr vate indi. vidualsand public corporation felt throughout the country, and espe cially in the South to-day. At the North business men dj pay strict atteutiouto their engagements, but iu our State bow m.iny good nie-u neglect to observe their engagement, forgetting tne words of the Paalmster that the jutt man it "oni who swear eth to his neighbor and disappointeth hi iu not even though to his own hindrance." But when rs Iroa Is and p..rtiiswlio have special privileges ascarrur i f passengers like railroad companies or public officials, who are paid ti serve their Mate or country, fail to be promptly on hand as their schedule requires, or at the hour appointed for business haw much inconvenience is felt. Let all regard their duty and no exception be allowed, and it would be well to have the law that when a railroad train is five miuutes behind it is au indictable offense. Vtayfon AVc.
