The Morning Star By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. ' WILMINGTON, N. C. TUESDAT MOBNDfS, DlC. 6, 1887 LEARNING. There is a new Kepubiican paper I in New York called the Press. It is I especially devoted to the Protection hobby. It deals in the stale and ex ploded statements of the paBt rela tive to the High Tariff fetich. But it will deceive none but the ignorant. Workingmen are finding out how utterly deceptive is the humbuggery as to the High Tariff bringing high wages and great prosperity to their class. They have made some dis coveries that shield them henceforth from the misleading arguments of monopolists who hug the Tariff be cause it enriches them. Working men are finding out that the argu ments used by the monopolists ara not based on facts. For instance, as we quote from the Washington Post: "Great Britain, with the lowest tariff of any monarchical country pays the highest wages of any nation in the Old World, and they want to know why wages in high tar iff France, Germany, Austria, 8oain and Italy are low, while in low-tariff England they are from 50 to 300 per cent, higher. They see as much difference in the rate of wages for the same labor m the different States of this Union as between England . and Germany, or France and Italy, and -. they want to know why the tariff does not maintain the same wages in Maine as in Texas and in North Carolina as in Calfor nia They sea in Massachusetts unprotected shoe factories and protected cotton mills, and they observe with some astonishment that the wages of the unprotected shoema- kers are considerably higher than those re ceived by the protected cotton operative, . and they ask why." VOTERS TO BE COMPELLED. -"There is a new idea in the so called ' , "progressive" North. It is to enact - laws to compel every man to vote. 1 He must not indulge any preferences "y, in the matter. His duty is to vote an honorable gentleman and a Chris and he must do it or be punished, tian teacher." He is to preach m 7 his is only another sign. The idea r -j of personal freedom is being lost ' ' sight of and the time is coming, it . . . may be, when all of thehsld battles of r i the past will have to be fought over ."-'"and the real rights of man, precious - ;aud inalienable, will have to be vin- -"dicated through upheavals and com- motions and the fiery pangs of battle. After a while men must be forced to eat whether or not thev nrefpr it Perhaps an anti-tobacco society will fstart in the North that section of isms" and intermeddling and men c ouaii u imprisonea wno chew or smoke. AH this is considered by a - certain school as " progress." -"'.1.-11 U ! 1 . During the past year three minis- ters died in the N. C. Conference, M. E. Church, namely, Revs. T. A.. " Stone, G. A. Gault, and H. H. Gib - bons. ' Rev. Dr. Burkhead's sudden X death adds one more to the list. He and Mr. Gibbons were old soldiers of XtfafitlmM. and k. v.j.

" r- liflg preachers, and 43 travelling un appointments.. These last were tw i C , . ry B rD6T 52, we think.; .The belief is 1 that there wi! be a V great martyr changes " made at the present season. The Statesville Advance szya: -' , t . . "Of the thirteen Dresidinir elders ten of them have served their present districts for uuee years, two or them for one, and one of thjem forwo. Of the two hundred and three pastoral charges, thirteen pastors have held their present stations and circuits i our years, and . only that small number must change by: the time limit. Twenty six have had charge of their present fields of labor three years, sixty-five for two and one hundred and one for one year." The Stab has given the figures derived from the Postmaster Gen eral's report of the operations for the fiscal year. He does not refer to the postal telegraph scheme, but he sug gests many improvements that might be made. He says there remain un changed 813 Presidential offices, as they are called; and in the fourth class 18,491 postmasters remain un changed. Among the improvements he suggests may.be noted the follow ing: "The establishment of a correct system for approximately uniform organization of the administrative and clerical force in of fices of the higher classes; the provision of buildings for postoffices in communities of such size as to require an office indepen dent of private affairs; the extension and perfection of the system of free delivery until all communities enjoy its privileges which are so situated as to make it their due; the thorough reformation of the sys tem of employing and paying for railroad transportation; the establishment of addi tional fast mail service until all the trunk lines of mail communication are so provi ded; provision for Jhe instruction and ex amination of persons for appointment in the railway mail service. And the addition of some auxiliaries to our means of postal convenience calculated to en hance the utility of the service to the peo ple." A Mr. Harris J. Clinton intro duced a bill, or desired to introduce one, in the Maryland Legislature to force all electors to exercise their right to vote. In the Massachusetts Legislature such a bill only lacked five votes of passing. Mr. Clinton says in the North American Review that "all the evils in government result r , .. . . . , I irom neglecting tne exercise oi tne i right of franchise." He says nearly one-fifth of .bettered voter, oeg- ieut w vote, xie prupuaue 10 euaui l - - a law making voting compulsory; a I duty, ne atnrms, no more to be evaded than jury duty It is worth while to note this prop osition because the tendency is that in free and hitherto prosperous America the people are to be too much governed. It is very clear that the advocates of Blue Laws are not all dead. "An Old Subscriber writes us from Southport, saying: "In a'recent issue!! find the word Agnos tic. I have searched Webster's Unabridged and one of Worcester's Dictionaries, and cannot find the work. Will you please ex plain, and oblige?" It is a new word in our time. Ag nosticism is the belief of a Christian sect of the third and fourth centuries, who held that God did not know all things. In our day it is the-doctnne of those who believe that God does not know all things or that God can not be known. It is the religion of oi'unknowableness. An agnostic is one who believes or teaches that God is not omniscient one who holds that God cannot be known, and that nothing can be known save by expe rience. It is derived from the Greek a without and gnotos known. It turns out that Dr. Joseph Parker, of London, was misunderstood as to the Beecher eulogy and the memorial I committee is fully satisfied. He pro nounced the eulogy without compen sation. The committee "express their unqalified belief that in all the cir- J cumstances connected with the eulogy I Dr. Parker has conducted himself as I Plymouth Church and he will receive also " a rousing reception on some evening" of this week In 1880, Garfield carried Iowa by 80,000 plurality. In 1887 the Re publican candidate for Governor has a majority of but 1,673 votes. What does this show? Is it a "suppres- I sion" f votes by the bad Democracy, I or is" it the sure and steady progress I of IjOW Tariff and reform that has wrought these astounding results ? 18 tDere not cauBe for hope that Cleveland and Promises will sweep Iowa in 1888 ?

Held, That the proper construction of tbe will gives the estate to the said Julia and her husband, with a direct remainder after the death of the sur vivor to her children. The husband and wife took by entireties and the right of survivorship prevails. Dur ing tm life the remainderman is pre mature in seeking possession. The fruits occurring during the joint lives would belong to the husband when by separation from the land they be came personal property, as other per sonal goods reduced into possession became bis as the law then was.

The exacrtruth is that every man who Jarore the abolition of the whiskey tax does so in order to render it impracticable to reduoe the tariff taxes on the necessaries of the ?eople and the essentials of manu aoturea. Free whiskey and war-taxed food, fuel and clothing would be bad economy, and it is bogus Democracy. The dignity and spirit which John L.

All but four of the one hundred and seventy-five newspapers in Georgia are said to be in favor of the removal of the war taxes. What the people of the Sooth desire is a reduction of the tariff upon the necessaries of life.
