WILMINGTON, N C.
Tuesday Morning, Dec. 13, 1881.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE CIVIL
SERVICE.
President Arthur devotes much
space in his message to the conside
ration of civil service reform. Every
reflecting man admits there is great
" need of reform, and every observant
man has but little confidence in the
consummation of this much desired
end. We have heard so much said
by Republican politicians about re
form in the public service, that the
country is ready to get up a big dis
gust at the very mention of the sub
ject. President Arthur may mean
well, or he may, like Hayes, be only
airing well sounding platitudes and
phrases. As long as corrupt men are
appointed to office no man of sense
can have any confidence in promises
of reform. President Arthur has not
shown thus far that he is anxious to
select none but a good and true man
for office. As long as Federal offi
cers are made to pay a part of their
salaries to swell the corruption funds
of the Radical party, no man of can
dor can say that he has any hope of
any genuine reform under such an
Administration.
Look at Virginia, and when you
see Federal officials compelled tb pay
in order to elect a Republican Mon
grel ticket, then say if you can
regard with confidence the plausible
reflections of the President, who
favors such a prostitution of author
ity ? Look again, and when you see
a corrupt bargain made between
Radical Senators and a man pro
claiming himself at the very hour of
perfecting the bargain a Democrat,
elected by Democrats, and two Re
publican Administrations consenting
to the bargain at that, and then say
if you attach any importance to the
discussions in State papers of abstract
theories bearing upon reforms of any
kind in the public service ?
We have no patience with rheto
rical palaver meant only to deceive.
The President cannot be in earnest.
His recent acts give the lie direct to
anything he may write concerning
civil service reform. He has used
his patronage, great as it is, to de
bauch a great Southern State. Hear
what the Governor of Virginia says
in his last message concerning the
outrageous interference of United
States, officials in the local elections
of that State and then say what you
think of the Presidential gabble about
reform among Federal officials. Says
iSovernor Holliday:
"Itbasbeettchareed the facts will pass
Into history and will show that this great
Government has invaded the limits of our
;State, and bv power, patronage and money
iias controlled its affairs. Virginia has been
;accused of attempting the mean crime of
repudiation. It has been charged the facts
iere, too, nave gone into history and will
show that the Federal Government, or the
party directing its destinies, has used its
,. patronage, power and money to hurry her
along that rugged and disreputable way
15 tins be true, then, if there be any stigma
it has been taken, from our commonwealth
. And fastened upon the Republic, and will
be with difficulty; jf ever, ;erased.:.l,inei
transfer will not hideit c . " .
THE SOirrtt'SRlVAW 'V .
We had seen intimations in Engjish
publications that a stronger ertort
would be made to develop in fcgypt
the cultivation of cotton, which, un
like the cotton of India, ia said to be
equal to that grown in the Southern
States. We learn now from our re
cent dispatches that English spin
ners are urging the Government to
encourage the growing of cotton in
India. The object is to have a sup
ply in case of a failure of the crop at
any time in the South. The South
has but little to fear, we suppose,
from India. If Egypt were to raise
all the cotton possible it would prove
a formidable rival by reason of its
quality. English mills cannot afford
to work India short-staple as long as
it can get Southern or Egyptian cot
ton, because our own mills will work
the long staple and the goods thus
made will be superior to the Indian
goods. But it is certain that Great
Britain and Europe will not be con
tent to rely in the future, almost ex
clusively on Southern cotton. The
sound has gone forth that the pro
duction of cotton in India, Esjypt
and South America is to be stimu
lated as rapidly as possible.
Some few weeks ago we noticed a
Northern writer deriving satisfac
tion from the prospect in the future
that the South would not grow
all the best cotton and would not
dictate the price of the great sta
ple. This was a crumb of com
fort the writer was endeavoring to
extract from foreign rumors and
from the threatened rivalry of the
South in cotton milling. If the
South will diversify its crops, raise
no more cotton than will fetch six
teen or eighteen cents, which will be
the case if it will not grow more
than 4,000,000 bales annually for the
next five years, and manufacture at
home two-thirds of its crop of cot
ton, then it may laugh at Suratt cot
ton, or Egyptian cotton, or New
England or Old England mills, and
be rich and prosperous in spite of all
croaking and all ill-boding pro
phecies. A Western editor, in a communica
tion to the New York Times, con
cerning the unjust effects of the pres
ent tariff, refers to what a correspon
dent in New England writes him
concerning a certain cotton mill
owner, which is suggestive and per
haps characteristic of the others. He
writes:
"That mill owner had just bought an en
tire equipment of English machinery, made
by the leading Rochdale company, for an
entire new monster mill, which cost him,
after paying 40 per cent, duty, $800 a set
less than the same American machinery
and was given the preference by pfice
mainly, and quality somewhat."
The Western editor, a Republican,
thus comments:
"This is truly an amazing confession.
The patriotism of that Massachusetts per
son is all gone now. He is a wicked emis
sary of George III., whose ghost still
haunts the Protectionists, and instead of
buying protected American machinery, he
rushes off to England and buys better ma
chinery for less money."
There are three facts in connection
with New England manufacturing:
First, they buy machinery abroad be
cause it is cheaper and better. Se
cond, they employ all the cheap
foreign labor possible to the exclu
sion of natives. Third, there is
great complaint among New England
operatives as to the wages paid.
It is the opinion of Mr. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, that there is a
limit to railroad building, but that
the limit will not be reached before
the close of the century. He says
there were 91,000 miles of railroad in
1881, and by 1900 he thinks there
will be 209,000 miles. Then there
will be enough. In the mean time,
and within the next seven years, he
expects a great commercial crisis and
a big railroad panic. The following
is instructive:
"He finds that the State of Massachu
setts had on the 1st of January. 1881. one
mile of road tp each 4. 12 square mile of sur-
iace, ana the rest of the world followed in
this order: Belgium, England and Wales,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Delaware, In
diana, New Hampshire, Switzerland, end
ing with New York, which has one mile of
road to each 9.8 square miles. He con
cludes that some sections of the country
will never need more than one mile of road
to 64 square miles, while others will have
it for 32, 16 and 8, since the presence of
navigable streams and wide mountain
ranges will affect the need and adaptability
of a country for railroads." '
The Repndiation element in Vir
ginia, politics has brought reproach
upon that State in spite of facts and
figures. In his recent message Gov.
Holliday shows conclusively1 that
Virginia can pay all her just debts
without dodging responsibility of
any kind or without even increasing
taxation. Whenever a State com
promises its debts, and its rate of
taxation is low measurably, the cre
dit and character of the people are
injured. This applies to any State

Signor Ernesto Rossi' has satisfied
the best American critics that he .is
an actor of very great, genitis. and
versatility able to . play he . grand
creations of Shakespeare with won
drous power and originality and to
turn at will and play the love-sick,
amorous Romeo or the wonderful
creation of Dumas called "Edmund
Kean," after the greatest English
actor. The Philadelphia Times says
of this last brilliant'success:
"The play was simply .he occasion for
the most brilliant, the most consummate
piece of romantic acting that this genera
tion has seen. The play was written for
Lemaitre, and probably Lemaitre was
greater than Rossi, because he came before
him. But it is impossible to imagine ajer
f onnance finer than this. It is picturesque,
heroic, splendid in every way; yet so na
tural, so delicate, so tender, so full of the
finest feeling that tears mingle with laugh
ter and admiration with all. It is heedless
to speak of the plot, except to say that the
action culminates in , a scene wnere Kean
is playing Hamlet at Drury Lane and seeing
the woman he loves in a box with the
Pi-inee becomes distracted, gets out of his
part and brings about an uproar, partici
pated in by the people in the boxes and
others in the auditorium, an unexpected
complication that really became quite ex
citing, the genuine applause of the audi
ence swelling the mock, uproar."
Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, has
received several threatening letters
from the convicted train robbers
and those suspected. He says the
other train robbers will be brought
to trial soon. The United States is
becoming the most lawless country
on earth, and if it keeps on it will be
safer to travel among Arab tribes or
Greek robbers than to venture in cars.
In the Southwest a trip in a stage
coach is more dangerous than to cross
the Plains thirty years ago. But this"
way of threatening Judges and Go
vernors for doing their duty is be
coming rather common, and is one of
the signs of evil times. This is a
very corrupt and wicked age in which
we live.
Henry Ward Beecher made a Free
Trade speecli in Brooklyn Thursday
night under the auspices of the Reve
nue Reform Club. It will be pub
lished and distributed. Hon. David
A. Wells, Simon Stern, Thomas G.
Shearman, Prof. Sumner, of Yale
College, Andrew McLane, and Prof.
Robert Ellis Thompson, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, will follow
at short intervals in the order named,
and in this way it is expected to create
a free trade literature which will be
a positive political force in the next
Presidential election.
The Critic pronounces "The Vi
car's People," by George Manville
Fenn, p"rice 50 cents, Putnam & Sons,
"a novel of much merit. It says "the
book is wonderfully interesting." It
does not think much of "A Prince
of Breffny," "The Cameronians" and
"The Braes of Yarrow." It has a
kind word for "Kith and Kin," and
says it is "well worth reading."
CURRENT COMMENT.
The refusal of the Tariff Con
vention to hear an "address of Wel
come" from Mayor Grace,because he,
the legal representative of a city
which owes everything to the inter
change of commodities with foreign
ers, wished to give his own views
about the tariff, calls attention to
what is the most unpleasant and
dangerous side of the protectionist
mind its intolerance. New York
Evening Post, Me).
To Mr. Forney, more than to
most men. was the Republican party
indebtedin 1858 and 1860 for the
distractions and controversies which
fatally divided the Democracy and
made the inauguration of Lincoln
possible. Mr. Forney lived to dis
cover that he could neither repress
the bigotry nor temper the zeal of
the organization he aided in forming,
but it can be Baid to his credit that
he did not lack, the courage to pro
test against the one or to antagonize
the other. It will be impossible to
write the history of the last twenty
five years without frequent mention
of the aets as well as of the writings
of John W. Forney. Wash. Post,
Dem.
Senator Blair, of New Hamp
shire, proposed to have Congress ap
propriate 105 millions of dollars for
the support of common schools in the
United States. This trifling sum, to
gether with the 125 millions of pen
sion money demanded by Commis
sioner Dudley, amounts to only 230
millions of dollars for two items in
jone year, it, in addition to this, the
government builds 50 million dollars
worth of new ships, hires 30 million
dollars worth of new soldiers, in
vests 100 millions in improving the
Mississippi, and has to carry on the
ordinary expenses of the govern
ment at the same time, we are afraid
that the tax on matches will not be

Neuralgia, Sprains,
Pain in the .Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured by use of Perry Davis'
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
of explosion, nor is It an untried experi
ment thact may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been in constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts of the world Is, It never
fails. It not only effects a permanent cure,
hut it relieves pain almost Instantaneously.
Being a purely vegetable remedy, It Is sale
In tne hands of the most Inexperienced.
The record of cures by the 'use of Path
Khxeb would fill volumes. The following
extracts from letters received hcw whai
those who have tried It think:
Edgar Cady, Owatonna, Minn., says :
About a yar .since my wif became subject
to asrare suffering1 from rheumatism. Our
resort was to the Pazm it""", which speedily
relieved her.
Charles Powell writes from the Bailors'
Home, London;
I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia
ana violent spasms of the stomach. The doctors
at Westminster Hospital gave up my case in
despair. I tried your Pais Krr.T.aa, and it gave
xne immediate relief. I have regained my
strength, and am now able to follow my usual
occupation.
O. H. walworth. Saco, He. , writes ;

PhiL Gilbert, Somerset, Pa., writes :
From actual use, I know your Paik Kixxeb
