The Morning Star. By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, June 5, 1887 CHOATE AS (AN ORATOR. "Choate was the greatest American ora tor," the judge continued. "I think there are three men who must be recognized as the greatest orators of America, and I will name them in the order of their genius . They were Ruf us Choate, Wendell Phil lips and Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher made many common-place speeches, but could and did say some fine things. Phil lips never delivered an address that was not a marvel of oratory. Choate was the peer of any of the great Roman orators. Choate was one of the wannest, most sympethetic, and genial men in the world. His genius entered into to his fellowship and ripened and mellowed it. Judge Me' Arthur. This is interesting. It shows how a Northern man can insulate himself. Judge McArthur is doubtless honest w- and frank in his admiration. He really believes that the North had f. produced the greatest orators, and r, . yet he omits the greatest orator ever born on Northern soil Sargeant S. Prentiss. Choate was an orator of a high grade. He was a striking char acter, and he had precisely what all great orators have fire, and which Daniel Webster lacked in an eminent degTee. We heard him once. He was solemn, sensible and dull General Clingman, who served in the United States Congress so long and with such distinction, and who has such a profound admi ration of the "godlike Daniel," as he was called by his most enthusiastic admirers, told us this. He said of all men he saw m the Congress, Mr. Webster grew greater as he receded ! fromLim that he loomed up above - all his fellows in his colossal great - ness. He said he heard Mr. Webster once speaking in the Senate when a Western member of the House, who afterwards became a leading Sena tor, interrupted him with the remark, ... "And that is the great Webster. What is the matter with him?" On went the statesman, when the West eraer said to his annoyance, "Great Scott, is he fuddled? " Gen. C. re plied, "no, he is not in liquor." Af ter the speech was ended, the West . ern,. Representative said, "I'll be , 7r'if a speech like that wouldn't empty a hall in five minutes in my - K -district." Gen. C. said he had never heard" Mr. Webster 'so animated. -andtyet to a man accustomed to the earnest eloquence of Corwin, Pngh and other Western men an elo quence that stirred, controlled, en- -- 'thnsed thought it very dull and un- - -interesting. Mr Webster was no orator, ac cording to either the X3reek, French, -V"-V?" Southern or Western standard. The " -ame may bev said of Mr.-Everett x'! e was cold, artificial, studied, rhet oricaliftVWe heard hia oration on - r Washington. It was an elegant com , position and there; were passages of ", exquisite rhetorical finish and excel - Xlei? incited with studied art. 1 out of it ; marble;:but : they were ieUss. He lacked the divine of- ; vuf W thoughts to the.riieart like1 the unerring n ana bounding shaft from; the rbher'a, biw. Bis -mannerism ;was marked. His pbsturingsvere those of a"da'pr Cing master.; His A theme, even the felicities -of his diction" and the graceful flow of hia periods, never moved him. . He remained self-contained, studied, artificial to the. last. He did not feel,- and he failed to make others" feel. There was too much of arty arid not enough of na ture in what he did. Hia - passions seemed asleep. How different is all this from a Demosthenes, a Fox, a Grattan a Prentiss, a Patrick Henry, a Preston! Mr. Webster understood the difference if he did not practice it. He said : "True eloquence does not consist in speech. Words and phrases may be marshalled in every way but they cannot compass it. It must exist in the many and in the occas ion." He was risrbt. An orator is born, just as mucp as a poet is born. True eloquence'must exist in the man." The schools of oratory can not impart it; neither study nor prac tice can bring it "from afar." Patrick Henry teas an orator. He knew but little of the schools, but he was a living battery. His was a pow erful magnetic organism, his soul was on fire with patriotsm and unquench able ardor, and at will he commanded the language of nature. His elo quence was a part of himself: it "ex isted in the man." It is no wonder that he could control an audience as a skilled rider a horse. No one. could sit under the inspiration of his genius and the rich tones of his voice and criticise the .speaker. The intense magnetism of the orator swept away all resistance and held one in leash. It was so with Prentiss, with Mc Duffie, with Preston, with Haskill, with Clay, with Kerr, with all great orators; it is so with all living men who can move great bodies and make them respond to their own will and emotions. But Judge-McArthnr never heard of this class in the South. Beecher and Choate and Phillips had passion, and so had a score or a half hundred others in the South. Gen. Clingman had heard Prentiss, Web ster, Choate and he told us that George McDaffio was the greatest orator to whom he ever listened. We have no doubt that the late Bishop Pierce was a greater orator than Beecher although not so great a man. We have no doubt that Bishop Bascom was a greater orator than any man ever born in New En gland save Prentiss. But "doctors will differ" even as to oratory and orators. The model of the North is the model of a cold climate. THE NEGROES NOT DYING OUT, Bishop Penick is of the opinion that the negroes are gradually be coming extinct. He says that from 60 to 100 per cent, more negroes die in tne cities than whites. This is true, but the negroes are far more prolific than the whites and the mor tality among; country negroes is far less than among the town negroes. But for these two facts the dying out of the race would only be a question of time. The mortality Is greater as the population is dense. In New Orleans the negro, death rate is 60 per cent, greater than that of the whites. In Charleston and Washing ton City the mortality is said to be 100 per cent, greater. That5 is, two negroes die for every white person in every 100 population of each race. It is well undsrstood why it is that the death rate is so much greater among colored than among whites. The want of cleanliness, the condi tion of their homes, 4he prevalence of certain nameless diseases among them, and the perpetuation of these diseases, or their . effects in their children, all conspire to make' the" death rate alarmingly excessive. The New Orleans ZVmes-Democrat takes the view the Stab has always taken: that the negro race will not become extinct because the births' are equal or more than equal to the deaths. It says of other races, to show that a high mortality does not necessarily indicate that a race is dying out: "There is a light mortalitv in France. yet the population is at a standstill, while in Germany, where the death rate ia much heavier, the population is increasing rap- luiy. ah itew xiDgiana me mortality is far heavier among the foreign born than among the natives, but the former are increasing the faster. ' And no more conBuicuons eri- deuce could he cited to Drove that & he w mortality may be coincident with a rapidly uwcauujs rave tu&u ma r rencu uanaul&n. i ne jrrenca uan&oians die in such numbers that in this country it would be deemed equal to an epidemic, the death rate ex ceeding that of the negroes, yet the race grows more rapidly than that of any other known. It has doubled itself every twenty years since Canada fell into possession of the English with little if any immigration from France." It has crowded the English speaking people out of almost all Canada; It has poured over a quarter of - a mQliou Franco-Canadians into the United States. In littl more than a century it has in creased nearly." hundred fold. The ex-; 1 t- ' 1 - : planation lies in 'early -marriages and the ne&yy oinnTaie ut itieiMio. ; --r -. .. i" That the condition .of the negroes as'Ca "race is advanced ini the'JasV twenty' years , is debatable. - There are intelligent men rwho -take- op posing views. The death rate keeps up to the high standard, and this "clearly" Shows that "their habits dro not improved. The negroes need to be -'taught -very - much - of sanitary laws. Until they learn how impor tant . is cleanliness, as to the person, their dwellings and surroundings, and "that .stagnant ; water "or water standing in pools to bo evaporated by the sun means sickness and death there wUlnot be much diminution of the death -rate among them. ' We agree withilie New Orleans paper whenit says: ... . ,: ' , -lose who have given-jnoney for the higher education of the" negro and establ ished colleges throughout the. South have done well; but they could have done much better had they devoted some of this money to the amelioration Of the condition of the negroes, and particularly to , instructing them in the laws of health' and hygiene. It is a subject worttjrof .consideration by the people of the South, and, indeed, of all the country. The negro mortality of the South helps to swell the death rate of that sec tion; the negro quarters "are hotbeds where' disease is generated, and comes forth to slay its thousands. NOT FOR BCSY MEN. Why do not the Southern school teachers adopt either Stephens's or Holmes's History of the United States as a text book in the schools of all kinds? The common schools of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Louisiana have adopted Holmes's "New History" as the text book. By using Southern school boolcs the pupils would not be taught falsehoods concerning the war with' the North as they are taught when Northern books are used. Marshal Lannes made a capital remark when the Marquis of Montes quieu told him of taking a coat from ah ancestor's drawer. Said the great soldier of Napoleon: "I am au an cestor myself." More than seventy-fivo copies of Dabney's brilliant and striking novel "Don Miff" have been sold in Wil mington. One young lady told us she thought it was far more enjoyable than Hardy's masterpiece, "Far from the Madding Crowd." Mr. Margaret J. Preston's new volume of verse is well received in the North. It is called "Colonial Ballads, Sonnets and Other Verse." The Boston Post says appreciatively : "Mrs. Margaret J. Preston has a charm ing way of telling stories in verse; her Co lonist Ballads are spirited, patriotic, full of generous things; and she delights in making a poem of some tender, brave or picturesqe incident: and in telling, for children, cha racteristic anecdotes and traditions of th- youth of the old painters. Of course she writes sonnets noble in feeling, religious, full of fancy and of hero worship; but her greatest Buccees is in her ballads and stories in verse. It will be a pity if sonnets wile ber from that which she does with so much grace and sweetness, and tempt to that path which more than any other in literature is thickly strewn with failures." There are the fewest number of really eminent poets who ever mio- ceeded in writing the sonnet, a most difficult form of verso with artificial limitations. Probably of tbu tens of thousands of experiments there are not more than two or three hundred son nets of a high-water mark, and not a dozen of the very first rank. Shake speare, Milton, Wordsworth and a half dozen others have done great work in this special line. Of Ameri can sonnet writers wo think that Paul H. Hayne and George Boker have been tho most successful. The beet living Southern poet is Samuel Minturn Peck, of Tusca loosa, Alabama. He has written two or three short poems that deserve to be immortal. We have no doubt that they will through the centuries be found in any tasteful , and fair anthology of American verse that may be printed. He has published one volume of verse with the title of Cap and Bells," A second volume is anuounced. He has also had some of his songs set to music. A popu lar one is called "A Knot of Blue." He is under thirty years of age. Our esteemed contemporary, the Danbury JReporter, copies what the Stab said in rj)to the Baltimore American on e$sylvania tobacco. It says: " ; . , . "Our peerless' Stale cohtemDorarv has overlooked a most important point? in in stituting a comparison between - the net profit on an acre of tobacco grown in Lan caster county ' last year; : and Instances wnere i nat has been beaten fifty times in North Carolina." by not civihe instances of an acre of tobacco grown in Granville or Vance; county last ytar.

Moreover, Mr. ShermanV stu died application of the epithet "Con federate" to the Democratic party of to-day and his labored effort to show that by the election of Mr. Cleveland "Confederate" ideas were made dom inants as foolish as insulting. Whose votes does he hope to win by that? There are thousands of men not only among those who voted for Mr. Cleveland, bat among those who vo ted for Hancock and for Tilden, who were as patriotic as Mr. Sherman, whose devotion to their country at least brought them no wealth, and who never surrendered their honest convictions for either place or pelf. Is it good policy for Mr. Sherman to challenge comparison on these points? He appears to think that it is, but we take the liberty of admonishing him that it will not bring him any nearer that goal of his ambition which, in his somewhat devious way, he has so loner pursued and never attained. If we disregard what Mr. Sherman has to say of the past as the country certainly will disregard it and ask what he has to say ot the future, the answer will be, almost nothing. His long speeoh contains only one brief indication of the policy be proposes in the name of his party on any cur rent opinion. New Ybrk Times. Mugwump, But the little boom is burst. The censure of the bloody-shirt swingers for bis kindly utterances at the bouth proved too much for him. And yesterday at Springfield Mr. Sherman fell into his old habits again.

C), Star and the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record are still opposed in opinion as to the status of industrial life in North Carolina. The Record is an industrial boomer, whilst the Star, which is in a position to understand the true situation in the good old Tar- Heel State, and not wishing to have the people deceived by nattering accountejof industrial progress, states frankly the facts in the case. Wil mington has doubled its population m the last twenty years, and many other cities or jxorth Carolina are fairly prosperous; but according to the Star the State is handicapped by the high tariff. The farmers are not as thrifty as they should be. Many of them, like some of the Virginia far mers, are very poor, borne of them grow poorer and poorer every year in spite of their energy in field and for est. These facts, the Star constantly lays before the public, whilst the Manufacturers vcecora, which means well, no doubt, tries to refute the statements of tho Wilmington paper.

I have tried a number of physicians, bat without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. G. had done for otheraslmilarly afflicted. I procured somo at once. Before I had used tho second bottle tho neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or three years I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain In my breast. After taking stx bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. Sly cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It Is-rapldly disappear ing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Mrs. NANCY J.
