EVENING "EDITION;
... r
IS STRONG GOVERNITIENT.
! When asked what he meant by the
I 'signs of the times, he said :
1 "f "I think thai it shows we are a strong
j government by strong people when New
; York can punish its own boycotters, when .
Chicago ean prison its Anarchists, when
Mississippi can arrest her own Ku Klux,'
and when Missouri can' arrest and punish
; its knightly train wreckers. ' Ex-President
-Arthur Interviewed. j
The people like this sort of Strong
Government... It is State Govern
ments taking care of themselves, j tt
is New York, Illinois, Mississippi
and Missouri dealing with- crime
v through their regular appointed
channels. It is local self-government
in operation. Under Grant the
Federal Government would have in
tervened, and United States soldiers
would have been sent into States to
i do that which the States show they
. are abundantly able to do for themselves.-
The. "Strong Government"
idea of Mr. Arthur is unlike the
Strong Government idea of Ciesar
;.-,But the ; present Congress has not
i been, able tq see that there are many
1 things that the States can best do for
i ' themselves, such -as teaching school,
v and regulating " impositions r and
j frauds. When it undertook: ' to . set
i up Federal school teaching in the
t States and to interfere with internal
j police regulations' it showed that it
j had studied the powers of govern
' ment "much more in the school I of
j Caesar than in the school of Jeffer-
;; son, Jackson and Buchanan.
4 . This Government was not estab
j;' lished to destroy the State Govern
ments. It has no authority or
1 power that it did not derive by
- grant from the States. It is not
: the Sovereign, but it is the
: mere creature of Sovereigns. It was
not intended; by the framers that-the
general Government shall undertake
ever to do for the States vrhat the
States in their sovereign capacity
can much better "de for themselves.
Bat Congress 'never got hiat J far
back in its constitutional studies.! It
has got to .be a law unto itself, j We
do wish that every intelligent voter
would read . Wilson's "Congressional
id Wilson's ' Conimonal
Government." It would make nom
inating conventions more particular
in their selections of candidates, i
We must incline to " the opinion
. that it- would be a good thing if
there could be a. Civil Service Com
- mission for members 'of ConproRa
f (we mean of course both Houses),
. and before they could be allowed to
take their seats, " must stand a thorr
: .ougb examination in the fundamen
tals of the Constitution they; swear
tp support. How can they" support
the Great Charter if they do not nr
derstand if they, have never studied
it?l The Commission ought , to be
: "composed of no persons . but Dem
jocratsr- a nunnau, -uu aua- jtian-

KIND WORDS. f
We are often noouraged in our
arduous toil the editorial - tread -mill
by words of commendation
and sympathy. Bit for the good
U-noat virtnfl and
a I
unusual culture we know not how we
could pull I through with failing
health and being often subjected to
acrimonious censure from
another class. We get many
that are very grateful to us.

preciation and they were
tnev were t trom
scholars and lawyers of great emi
nence and from rarely gifted authors.
These we have not copied from. It
has occurred to uS that some: recent
kind words might be reproduced.
There are readers of. the Stab who
take nleasure in seeinsr it sustained
and well thought of. The Other day
-,.. . liIw.:.
a'distinguished1 Episcopal divine a
modest gentleman and a .ripe scholar
wrote to us ! that he wi
very
for a
greatly indebted: to the StabI
great deal of pleasure ; and ' instruc
tion. He felt so grateful that he
sent a copy of a choice work to ,"the
writer as a testimonial of apprecia
tion. It is needless to'say how pleas
ant and welcome all this was to us.
He further expressed . himself . in
terms we may not reproduce jto his
friend Col. Burr. In a letter, to us
he said he agreed in opinion with
nearly all the Stab said. j
Then a few days ago Dr. JPritch
ard told us of meeting recently a
President of one of our State Male
Colleges a scholar and an Univer
sity of Virginia man who said to
him that he read the leading State
papers and in his . estimation none
compared with
the Stab. We do
'not attempt to conceal our gratifica
tion at such an indorsement. '
Once more. Of the date of 31
July, 1886, is a letter. to us from one
of the staff of the well known Rich
mond Dispatch. We will be par
doned for copying only a few lines.
The editor writes: I '.
"I wish to thank you for your admirable
article on the Lee Statue which appears in
Friday's Stab. North Carolina has a right
to speak touching aU matters interesting
Virginia and m this instance she bas spoken
tnrougn you to the pomt." .
And yet ohce more. From a re
cent letter recieyed from a very able
and. scholarly gentleman connected
with the State j Government
at Ra-
Ieigh we copy these few words
"It seems to me you are on the right
side of most questions possibly you con
vert me instanter in each case." j
We repeat, that it is just such in
dorsements as j these from, scholars
and thinkers from eminent men in
Church and State from leading
farmers, from teachers, from politi
cians even, and from jurists, ' that
we are encouraged and strengthened
in our efforts to maintain good gov
ernment, .to uphold North Carolina,
to advocate right principles, sound
morality and the truth as we under
stand it, and .to prevent as far as we
can any . detriment ,bef ailing the
State. ' v'?f: vw;vT--.

AN EXPERT'S REPORT.
A New York expert, Mr. G. T.
Stearns,' has, been inspecting the min
eral fields of the South in regard to
investments. - His observations have
been extended and thorough. ! West
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky have all' been exam
ined. We make an interesting ex
tract from an editorial in the Balti
more Manufacturer Mecor J relative
to his report. It says: ,
"It is a fact, says Mr. Stearns, that m
the Appalachian basin there is deposit ef
mineral which is the equal to the Lake Su
perior iron ore or any other known. With
these important elements in their favor, the
transportation involved to bring, tne ores to
coal would not involve more that one hun
dred miles. The development which has
been shown recently in the basin at Knox
ville, Chattanooga and Birmingham .and
elsewhere in other parts of this district are
merely earnests and incentives for further
progress. Particularly Is this tne case in
the workine of the Cranberry magnetic ores
for the manufacture of Bessemer steel.
The Cranberry ores are in North
Carolina. In the future great things
await that Appalachian basin!
The President has approved of the
Oleomargarine" bill ' taxing the com
pound two cents a pound. We
await hfs reasons. It was thouerht
i,- k. ftnM ?. Thi, AtfAmov
I General said it was Constitutional,
I it being to raise revenue, but it was
inexpedient. The House has passed
thfi Navv bill, - So the country, after
.j rf ,
awhile" will have a few modern built
cruisers that will not oe a disgrace
to the .country. That is, if there is
no job in their, construction, and such
builders as John Roach are not given
contracts. ."'. "'.. :
CLMBENT COMMENT.
1 It is, of course, highly desira:
ble that the administration and the
representatives of the party Jnf' Con
gress should be in harmony. And
yet this does not signify that all the
concessions and sacrifices should be
made by that branch of the govern
ment which is the most directly rep
resentative of the people, and whose
members come into offices from all
sections of the States, whose interests
are involved in such sacrifices and
concessions. Louisville Courier-

tve politician, and a member of the
Missouri Senate. Congress con fi s
cates for his benefit a part of the

famous mendicant and . the ignoble

as a sign of the decay of stamina in

that a wild horror seizes upon a mil

St. Patjl, Mink., August 1. A
iintte (Montana) special to the Jrio-

the drowning of Miss Jane McAr-
thur, formerly of that city, in an h e-
roic effort to save the lives of others.
For a year past, she had . been con
ducting a cattle ranche on the upper
Sun river with her old mother. ; She
was,: encamped on the bank of the
river, when Judge, Armstrong with
his wife, daughter aged 15, son aged
aged 12, and a sister, attempted to
ford the river witb a four-horse team.
The horses became unruly, ran into
deep water and spilled the family into
the rapid current. JN one could swim.
