Worthington's Magazine A Justifiable Closure. Mi. Gladstone is abundantly justified in proposing a mle to ex pedite the consideration of the home rule bill in the House of common?, and the very moderate application of "closure" or what ie called in this country the previous question ennnot tairiy be o bjected to. There are occasions when oL etruct;on is not only jnstifiab'J but maybe a patriotic duty, as the only means of defeating ill-con-eidertd legislation undor ihe tryanny of anaccidental majority. But when the legislative body hfis been o.'ccted on a distinct issue and the majority proceed to carry out their instructions, the duty ot the minority is fulfilled in reasonable discussion and the proposal of proper amendment?, and is ex -ceeded when obstruction is resorted to to defeat the clearly ascertained will of the country. Such is the present situation in Parliament. The majority of the constituencies having declared em phatically in favor ot Mr. Glad stone's home rule measure, it be comes the duty of the Ilonse of Commons to act upon it- Its opw ponents cannot defeat it, but they have undertaken to talk it to death. Under these circumstances Mr. Gladstone is cleariy right in proposing to put some limit on the debate in order to reach a vote within a reasonable time Phila. Times. Speals for Honest Pensions. Another Grand At my Post the Marcus L, Ward Post, No. 88 of Newark, New Jersey has come to the front to demand Pension reB form. A resolution was formally adopted by the Post calling upon Congress to provide tor the pubhe cation of the names, residences, nature of disability and amount of pension paid, in each community, to facilitate the exposure ot pen &ion frauds. The Newark Post yery properly assume that when the pension roll is made a roll of honor, no pen sioner will obiect to haying his name, disability and amount ot pension known to his neighbor?; but the pension thief will object of course. , Where are the Philadelphia Grand Army Posts? Several of them rpoke out manfully in support of President Cleveland s veto in 1887, and all of them should speak out now. They are on trial before the country; let them speak heroically lor pensions. Phila. 1 imes.

The President this morning issued the following proclamation: Executive Mansion, Washington, June 30, 1893, f Whereas, the distrust end ap prehension concerning the financial situation which pervade all buei ness circles have already caused great loss and damage to our peo ple, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of man ulactnre, bring distress and priva tion to our farmers, and whithhold from our working men the wages of labor; and, whereas, the present perilous condition is largely the esnlt ol the financial policy which the executive branch of the Gov eminent finds embodied in unwise Jaws which must be executed until epealed by Congress; now, there fore, I, Grover Cleveland, Presin dent ot the United States, in tue performance of a Constitutional duty, do by this proclamation de clare that an extraordinary occa- Ion requires the convening of both louses of the Congress of the United States at the Capitol in the City of W ashington on the seventh day of August next, at twelve o'clock noon, to the end that the people may be relieved through egislation Ironi present and lruend ,ieuding danger and distress. Ail those entitled to act as mams bers of the lifty-third Congress are r quired to take notice ot this proclamation and attend at the the the time and p'ace above stated. Given under my hand and seal of tho United btatet5, at city ot Washington, on the 30ch day ot June, in the year ot our ord one thousand eight hundred and ninetythree, and of the Ins dependence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth. Gkovek Cleveland. The proclamation was issued at 6 this eveuing. The President had eft directions for the issuance ot the proclamation before his depart ure tor trray Ojrables. ihe deier mination to call an exira session the first week in August instead of the first week in September it is understood was only definitely ar- ived at at this morning 8 Cabinet session, after giving full weight to the numerous telegrams received from all parts ot the country urg- ng this course. Anotner considera tion which caused the President to change his mind was foreshadowed n the lemark made by one ot his Cabinet officers two days ago that f the President received reason able aEeurances that theic was si likelihood of prompt repeal ot the so-called Sherman silver purchase aw, he might be disposed to call Congress together earlier than he had announced. It 5s inferred from the fact that the President has done so that he consider? he has obtained the assurances he deoired. Most of the Cabinet have followed the President's example and left the city or are leaving for brief vacations, ihoso who remain' say the President's proclamation speaks for it8elt. and dechue to discuss the situation further. It is almost conclusively es tablished that the calling of the August session of Congress was not determined upon until after midday to-day. The plain tacts ap pear to be that tue distnrbancos ot values arising from ti e uncertain ties of the situation grew so alarm ing that Mr, Cleveland at last was compelled to acknowledge that the unexpected contingencies necessi tating an earlier meeting ot Con gress, which he apoke ot in bis celebrated interview of Jane 5th, had arrived. The action or the British Government in India brought matters to a crisis. Pre vious to that startling event, Mr. Cleveland had manifested a firm determination to adhere to his plan ofcalling Congress in September. After the suspension ot silver coin age in India, the President reso lutely declined to speak furtbei about h'"s intentions until he should be prepared to act, and Cabinet officers maintained similar silence.

When all life's storms are still, And all life's noises into calm have passed, When rest and quiet come to us at last, What matters good or ill? What matt rs love or hate? Calm, hands are folded o'er a quiet breast. The weary head is pillowed in sweet rest, And sorrow comes too latt! What matters wealth or fame? The narrow grave ia all that earth can give; The deathless soul in other wcrld8 shall live, And men forget our name. What matters aught of earth? The passing pictures of a shadowed dream, The changing eddies of a turbid stream. Sure, these are nothing worth. Why, then, despond, my friend? The one thou lovst has found at last Sweet peace and calm and rest when toil is past, And death is not the end! Ths Voyage of the Falcon- The voyage of the Falcon is the moat hopeful enterprise vet under taken in Arctic exp oration, in that it brings into service all the resources of modern invention and of practical experience. Lieuten ant Perry's expedition to Green land w as an example ot what can be accomplished by method of o ganizatien. It accomplisheswhat it ret out to do, in exactly the time arranged and in every respect ac cording to programme. Ireuten aut Peary now proposes to apply the same system and method to a more daring exploration in the direction ot the North Po'e. Whether or not he ia destined to solve the central geographical problem ot the troztjn zone, there s very good reason to expect that he will come nearer to it than any one before him. Unlike previous explorers, he is not undertaking to sail beyond a point where a ship may sately penetrate and will not be dependent on hia ship for 6hel ter. He will establish himself at home as far north as practicable, with ample provisions for a long sojourn, and will then choose the most favorably season to press for ward by sledge or other means of conveyance, applying the practical experience gathered in his Green land trip. This system extends very greatly the penetrating northward while sreatiy diminishing the risks, and Perry has hitherto shown such t;reat Judgment and capacity that this new undertaking must be fol lowed not only with sympathetic interest, but with more than a usual degree of confident expecta-. tion. Arctic exploration has long seemed all but hopeless, and we said goodebye to each new explorer with the thought that we should probably never Eee him again. There is no such feeling in the present case. We know that Peary can take care of himsell ; that he knows jast what he has to do and how to do it, and we say good-bye to him and his companions in the assurance that in due time we shall hail their return with a fresh 6tore of knowledge and fresh honors tor American science and seamanship.

The Julia Force murder case was resumed this morning at 9 o'clock before Judge Richard Clark. The state ment of Mi?s Force was introduced by Solicitor Hill for the" proeecu tion. This statement was written by Miss J u ha. She claimed that it embodied the true statement of her entire lite up to the time of the killing of her two sisters. It was remarkable in that it extended back to six months before she was born. Messrs George and Allie Force were put upon the stand by the defence and denied tho truth ot her statements. Mies Sarah Colly estified that Miss Force told her the statement was written on Tuesday before the killing. It is an unusual thing to see the family of the murdered persons seated by the murderer or mur deress, but such was the case this morning when the opening ar gument was bgun by Solicitor Hill, and counsel for defence announced that they had closed. The Solicitor made a few remarks outlining the State's case, lie was followed by Mr. Burton Smith for the defense. Mr. Smith made aetrong apppeal to the jury, and the effect of it was plainly visible upon the laces of several. Col, Hardeman, of Macon, followed also for the defense. He is a kinsman of Miss Force, and he made an exceptionably able argua ment. When Hardeman referred to the fact that Miss Julia Force had wished her mother damned, defendant was affected and sobbed soltly. After the dinner recess, Judge Clark charged the jury. Daring tiie delivery ot his remarks Miss Force sat immovable before the jury, with her face buried in her nands. In bis charge Judge Clark referred to the enormity of the crime, and said the jury should consider the prior life of the pris oner. He said the crime was pro bably without parallel, unless it be in the Borden murder case. If that crime was committed by L'zzie Borden, the Force murder was even more horrible than that. ' As the Judge wiis charging the jury the prisoner broke down, sobbiL" convulsively. The jury remained oat only a lew minutes and at 6 o clocu brought in a verdict of not guilty, It will be remembered that Miss Force was tried shortly after the murder occurred on a writ of lu nacy and was promptly judged in sane. Solicitor General Mill held that the proceeding was irregular as the case should have gone first before the Crirr inal Courts, where the prisoner had the privilege of entering the plea of insanity and establishing it to the satisfaction of the iury. This has been done, and about Miss Force's insanity there seems to be little doubt. She will ba sent at once to the State lunatic asylum at Milledgeville. An Early Extra Session. We are not surprieed that President Cleveland is receiving irom all parts ot the country nr gent requests that he call congress toeether speedily. Under the circumstances, this demand. is natural, It is just and the president should accede to it without further delay. It is his supposed intention to call an extra s i&ion for September, but September is more than two months dietaut and the country should not be subjected to a con- continuance and a possible in crease of the present financial stringency with all its attending dangers two months longer than is necessary. Ths is great uncertainty as to what sort of legislation we are to have on the money question and the tariff, and snch uncertainty de stroys confidence and paralyzes business. We ought to know as soon as possible what the financial policy ox the government ia to be.Cannot know until Congress fixes it, We ought to gef rid of the Sherman act just as soon as possible and we can not get rid ot it until Congress meets. - J uly is a far better month for the extra session than September, and the earlier in July the better. We sincerel y hope that the President will delay in this impor tant matter no longer. Atlanta Journal. ONE WAY TO BE HAPPY. It is at all times to attend to the comf or of your family.

JN )t many men enjoy the sensation of reading their own death notice. Winston Sentinel'.

There is no state ment et aseets or liabilities of the firm. ' ' TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY., To-day's meeting of the Assem bly was more largely attended and more interesting. Devotional exer cises were conducted by Prof. J. C. C. Dunford, of Henderson ville. The address, "The place of Latin n a Liberal Education," delivered by Dr. Clewell, of Salem Female Academy, pleased the Assembly so well that it was ordered published and a copy given to every teacher in the State. Mis Harrison delivered a short tain on kindergarten work, which was very instructive. Prof, Graham, of Charlotte, spoke of Civil Government. This was a dry subject, but Prof. Graham made his remarks interesting from begin ning to end. Civil government should be taught in public schools. There are thousands of people in this State who do not know the State officers, and those very people are being paid to teach our children. Prof, J, Y. Joyner, of Goldsboro, next addressed the audience on Pub lic Schools, and made a strong speech in their favor, using as an illustra tion of their good, two children in the Goldsboro Graded School one the son of a wealthy gentleman and would receive a good education had there been no public school: the other the daughter of a poor widow who was nuable to buy her books. Both were equally bright, but what a difference in their lives if this poor orphan girl naa not tne same piiyi lege of attending school. Full many a gem of purest ray scene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocejn bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unstun, And Avaste its sweetness on tne air." Prof, Joyner's remarks in conclud ing were very pathetic, and not cue of his hearers doubted that "He who knows how. to touch the heart knows all-" "Public School Day" could not have been placed in better hands than those of Professors Graham and Joyner, and the Assembly feelB proud of such talented young men. To-ni' ht was the musical contest for the gold medal and was highly enjoyed by lovers of music. The judges selected were Mr. B. C. Eoy- ster, Mr?. Ashley Home and iliss Bessie Worthington. Each contest ant played two pieces, one of her own selection, the otber to be drawn from a pile ot music not before seen by the contestants, and probably never played before an audience be fore. In fact the musie was so "horrid" that Secretary Harrell made an apology, saying that he tried to get the ugliest music he could find ; and no one doubts that he wa3 unsuc cessful. The contest was open to all, but only three young ladies en tered, Miss Gillespie, Mis3 Myers and Miss Holden, Several solos were sung during the evening, and the vocal solo bv Miss Cornie Petty, of Manly, N, C, deserves special mention. Our flattering ad iectiyes are lim ited, enjoyment for music great, but every kind of speech fails us just at this moment but the flattering encores, and withal the perfect order of the audience, testified that the efforts of the young ladies were ap preaiated. There was r.0 part or the whole programme that was not most heartily applauded, and we feel safe in saying no part cauld have been ommitted. Eycjthing was pleasant either to the eye or ear sometimes to both. Ihe musical contest was like unto the Oratorical contest, in that everyone wanted his favorite to win the medal. While the judges were deciding who did best, short talks were made by Hon. J. C. Scarborough and Prof, Mclver, of Greensboro, but the au dience were not in a mood to listen to "big numbers," and while Prof. Mclver was telling an anecdote as an apology for his speech, the judges returned. In a "sweet speech" President Blair delivered the medal to Miss Sophie Myers, of Charlotte. President Blair's last advice to happy Miss Myers was, "give it to vour sweet-heart to wear; it wont hart yon and will do him good." To-day was "College Association Day," and was one of the most en joyable as well as the most instruct ive of any yet held during the As semblv. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. W. II . Rhodes. Capt. Denson of Raleigh makes a report of the committee upon the State Reform school and offers the following resolution : Resolved, That the North Caro lina Teachers' Assembly, hayin learned of the gratifying advance in public opinion in bshalf of a State Reform School since the annual ses sion of 1992, and of the efforts made at the last session of the General Assembly, reaffirms its conyictkm of the great need of such an institution in JNortn uerouna, ana win pursue this object until granted'" Capt. Denson consumed consider1 able discussion and made interesting and startling statements in regard to "the great number of youthful law breakers. The discussion of such questions is of great benefit to the people, and the State can ill afford to pass upon such questions without due reflec tion. After the report and speech by Capt. Denson, President Blair va cated the chair, and Prof. J. B. Shearer, of Davidson, opened "Col lege Association Day." It is a great pity that the uH-i ancesof-the editor of theVoffA Carcfjgia Teacher has been such as to displease lAaariy of the leading Colleges of the State, first because they fcave injured the Teachers' Assembly, and weakened its influ ence a fact known to every one, and more clearly seen to-day; and secondly has injured the attendance at Morehead, and caused bitter fac tions to arise among the teachers, all of which h as made the gathering at Morehead lesa pleasant to many and Mr. Perry suffers from it finan cially. But to the proceedings: Dr. Crowell spoks of "A College Educa tion. What is it?" We cannot do th? speaker justice in an attempt to give an outline of his aderess, but it was interesting, deep and brainy. Dr. Shearer and Prof, Ilobgood followed Dr. Crowell and made some very short but able talks. Prof. Harding's address to-night was "Sapoleo." His address was well prepared, showed great research and remark able familiarity with literature, and abounded in interest. His happy delivery and witty allusions did much to hold the attention of his small audience. The management of the hotel, the surf bathing, the fishing and sailing ars so phasing to all that Mr. Perry has kindly extended to all the rate of one dollar per day till July 6. The German wa3 largely indulged in to-night, and we noticed on the floor some of Goldsboro's most ip.rming and beautiful voting la dies. The weather is cool tonight and overcoats would not be "out of style." "WHY SHOULD WE WEEP FOR THOSE "WHO DIE?" Why should we weep lor those who die? They fall, their dust returns to dust; Their souls shall live eternally Within the mansions of the just. Theyjdia to live, they sink to rise, They leave thi3 wretched mortal shore; But brighter suns and bluer skies Shall smile on them for evermore. WThy should wo sorrow for the dead? Our life on earth is but a span. They tread the path that all must tread They die the common death of man The noblest songsters of the dale. Must cease wnen ,Y inter's Irowns ap pear, The reddest rose must wan and pale When autumn tints the changing year. The fairest flower on earth must fade, The brightest hopes on earth must die; w ny snouid we mourn tnat man was made To droop on earrh, but dwell on high? The soul, th' eternal soul, must reign In a world devoid ot pain and strife; Then why should man complain Of death, which leads to happier life? Tennyson. STATE NEWS.

THE HOUSE OF NEVER. The hru3e of Never is built, they say, Just over the hills of the By-and By. Its gates are reached by a devious way, Hidden from all but an angel's eye, It winds about and in and out The hills and dales to sever. Once over the hills of tho By-and- By And you're lost in the house of Never. The house of Neyer is filled with waitp, With justinaminutes and pretty soons; The noise of their wings as they beat the gates Comes back to earth in the afternoon?, When shadows fly across the sky And rush with rude endeavor To question the hills of the By-ando By As they ask for the house of Never, The house ofNeyer was built with tears; And lost in the hills of the ByandBy Are a million hope3 and a million fears, A baby's smiles and a women's cry. The winding way seems bright to-day, Thf n darkness falls forever, For over the hills oi the By-and-By Sorrow waits in the house of Never. Chicago Dispatch.

Tertullian, A MEMORY, Do you r'-oall one far-off eve, We stood together, you and I, Alone on the gray old hiiltcp, And silently watched the sky? Where floated the pale moon calmly, Like some peaceful spirit of rest, While the vividlightning flashed Afar in a storm-clad west? And sadly amid the pines The wind did wander and moan, While close to our feet the night-bird piped In a mournful monotone, As if they were kindred spirits, Mourn'ng with us, dear heart, Knowing as did we alas ! The morrow we must part. And we parted yet to-night I heal The night-bird's mournful lay, Tho slow, sad music of the pines, As if 'twere but yesterday ; And the pale, cold moon still floats An emblem of peaceful rest, But all of that past that life now holds Is the dark cloud in the west.
