The Morning Star. ByWIllIAlI B. BEBRaBO, WILMINGTON, N. C. EVENING EDITION. Monday, Feb. 13, 6 P. M. NOT POSTED. The New York Times ought to consult the religious statistics of the country before it undertakes to pro , .nounce upon the most influential and , weightiest of them. In a recent edi . torial it declared that there were four "religious bodies' that "carried most weight in the community," and that neither the Methodists nor Baptists were of them. The Methodists are as influential in the North in every l T7 way as any body of professing ;, Christians. It might not be too " strong to say that they led all Pro- testants. Numerically the Method A ists far exceed all others. Their. . book establishments do an immense business. Their press is widely cir culated and far reaching in its in fluence. They are the great revival i - force of the North. Politically, we regret to say, they are of immense . force. The Northern Methodists in . many fields of indeavor exert an in- fluence that greatly exceeds any other denomination. In the South the Methodists are , Btrong, earnest, alive to every call that commands the energies of Chris r 2 tian workers. They number more than a million, and they are only, surpassed in numbers bythe Bap ' tists. They have a widely circulated " tJ press, many colleges and are very ao tiyfi in every good word and work. The Baptists are strong and. earnest oth of the great sections. In the South they are particularly numer- ous. They, too, have a very influ- ential and widely disseminated press. '. Their colleges ' are strong and wejl appointed and well filled. These two denominations have a ' powerful in :: fluence for good in the South and to- gether number some, two and a quar ter millions of members. They are so ' strong that if they were to unite up v on any measure they could carry it over all opposition. '.A' B1HKHCPT LAW. There is a constant pressure bear- mgxnthe Congress to pass a na tionai vuauKrupt. law. it u , very ; doubtful if this Congress passes such . a law.'

State laws are inadequate," it is . said and there are friction and antagonism in their operations. ; - - 4 " The Washington-Post takes this views .. - ' ' . "A law is needed not less as a means of compelling insolvent debtors to stop busi ness and settle, than for the purpose of set ting free the thousands who have failed. Lave . given up . their assets and want a chance to try again There are more suc cessful business men who have failed at least once than there are who have escaped that disaster. Our credit system offers too many temptations, and until business gets down a good deal nearer to a cash basis failures will be frequent and the necessity for clearing away the ruins occasionally will be imperative." - NO ISMS IN TBS SOWTH. Isms do not flourish in the South. Isms have never flourished. in the South and we hope most sincerely that the time will never come when isms shall flourish in the South. All isms of American origin and growth have found their original soil in the North. Every ism Foureism, Mormonism, Free-loyeism, Free-soilism,, Com munism, Anarchism, Socialism, Nihil ismall that is to be found in the United States, either was born in the North or was imported into the North. Thus far the South has been but little troubled with any of these isms, and but little annoyed by any of their legitimate progeny. How soon they may come we may not guess or anticipate. At pre sent the South is free almost entirely from the mobs and strikes and scenes of violence that wake up and shake up sections of the North. The business interests of the South have not been retarded or impaired by any ism. In the North great josses have been sustained by strikes and labor troubles. The South has been for' the most part free from such annoyances. It is to be hoped that all classes in the South will avoid all disturbances and steer clear of those doubtful methods that have wrecked so many in the North and caused so much want and suffering as well as destruction of property and capital. The pension grabbers are active. The lobby in Washington was filled by them daring the last month. The Grand Army of the Republic was on hand, through their representatives. The President was interviewed, and he is reported as saying, "that he be lieved that every soldier who has in curred disability when in service, and who is now under disability, ought to be pensioned." It is very doubtful if he so spoke. A bill is to I Via int.rrulnno it. la rannr toil th.i .;n I ' w wuMswa., W a iVVVI VUBV TV 111 I , i , I 1" ct . "UBUS "P- ea oy tne Urand Army encampment. There is some change in the language I of the bill that vm vtfti1 hnt tho I principle remains the same. If this be correctly stated, then we. may ex pect another veto. The President al ways stands by his own acts and de liverances. The last Raleigh Chronide has an excellently prepared statement of the finances of North Carolina, in which Republican extravagance is con trasted with Democratic economv. l A 'S and inclusively that Republican figuring is Republi can exaggeration, and that Republi can rule was Kepublican waste. Whoever prepared the elaborate statement did it well and thoroughly. It will be a good document for the campaign. Such work requires care and time. The Democratic voters will not be disposed to rebel against their own party and fly off ., to the Radicals that plucked North Caro- Una in 1868-'9, until she was bare and shivering and left to the tender and merciful care of needy carpet baggers and impecunious and . reck less scallawags. A prominent farmer who was once' a well known business man of Wil mington, writes to ns of the date of the 10th inst., as follows: Goncernins the tax derived f mm Inter nal revenue, I should not be surprised if two-thirds of it came into our State from uu uquor is snipped out of the State If tbeUovernmant can run and pay the enor- araJI:M!lwWt? vnmout internal I tax it and do iom.t.

Of course he was the recipient of many curses and if his party friends could have blasted him they would have done so. Bat he served his country nevertheless in his war upon the closed doors and the star chamber processes. Money was very low in New York last week. The average was not more than 2 per cent. The rail road earnings for January show a slight increase over last year. There are returns from but 12 roads for the first week in February, and they show a gain of 10.91 per cent. New York jobbing dry goods trade was light and irregular for last week. 8TA.TE GUARD. Raleigh Chronicle. The law under which the .State Guard is to be so thoroughly equip ped went into force the 1st of July, 1887. Decisions made in December by the Secretary of War were to the effect that under its provisions Qaar term aster's stores as well as ordnance stores could be issued. This is a new departure and a most important one; . - m . t rf-l 1 certainly ior norm uarouna, ior it permits the complete equipment,with uniforms, overcoats, fco., of the State Guard. The law inoreased the allow anoe annually to the militia in the United States from $200,000 to $400,000. North Carolina annual quota is $10,138. Of this allowance, beginning last July, $6,000 is to the State's crrdit now, and $10,138 more becomes available July 1st next. Out of this $16,000, overcoats will be drawn for twelve hundred 'men. Four companies are to be imme diately supplied with uniforms, and the issue of the latter will in all cases be based upon the report of the In spector General that companies are in need of them. The stores are all the property of the United States. The law is entirely new. Its purpose is to make the active militia the "re serve" of the army. It practically gives each State, at Government ex pense, so 'far as clothing, arms and amp equipage are concerned, an army of its own, ready for service alwavs. at a moment s notice, at toe call of the Governor or of the Presi dent of the United States, through lne Governor. The State Guard thus becomes as near the regular army as possible. The law of the State fixea the the number of companies at 25. The same act gives each company $300 annually. The ' minimum strength of a company must not fall below; 32, ana eacn organization must be at a point having railway or steamboat communication and with telegraphic facilities. . 8UTBRME COURT.

T.Ooaunercial and Financial Chronicle Nkw Yobx, Feb. 10. The move ment of the crop, as indicated by our telegrams from the South to-night, m given below. For the week end ing this evening (Fab. 10) the total receipts have reached 99,583 bales, against 98,668 bales last week, 90, 130 bales the previous week, and 105,403 bales three weeks since mak ing the total receipts since the 1st of Sept., 1887, 4,682,736 bales, against 4,594,639 bales for the same period of 1886, showing an increase since Sent. 1, 1887, of 88,097 bales. The exports for the week ending this evening reach a total of 1 16,002 bales, of wbioh 80,361 were to Great Britain, 17,447 to France and 18,194 to the rest of the Continent. To-day the market was very unset tled, cloeiog at some decline. Cot ton ou the spot declined 1 16th on Tuesday, and advanced I 16tb on Tharsday. Stocks in this market be gin to show some accumulation, but are well held. Today the market was quiet at 10$ o. for middling up land'. The total sales for forward deliv ery for the week are 685,400 bales. OCR STATB OONTB3IPOR&BI We would regret very much an adouro ment of Congress without a redaction of letter postage from two cents to one cent. In our jaditm.dat. the calculations which have been made on the subject, clear lv enough demonstrate that the reduction can be mtde. and not oaiy - tne expeaaei or the postal service defrayed, but a surplus left. This might ooi.be d ne at first, but It would be done ia a sort timi Charlotte CAronieU. The Newt-Oburvcr stated ia a recent number that the Internal revenue law did cot aoooy the Est but was oppressive and obnoxious to ibe West,and was asked by tbe GcuetU to explain this difference. The answer was about such as we expected, and here it is. Tbe UOtener save the law Is obj actionable and oppressive t the West because some of the people ia the moan tart coves wish to manufacture whiskey without paying tbe tax thereon We thank our friend for admitting that the But ia law-abidinc. or to put it differently, is not oppressed because she is law -abidia Ba t tbere are oututeries in ina aui ana centre ; if then they pay the tax and are not op pressed, why cannot our Western friend do likewise.

WarrerdonjQauUs , The amendments to the Constitution, which enabled tbe Legislature of 1876-77 to put in force the present county govern ment law, has been the salvation to the counties domineered over by unscrupulous white radicals and ignorant colored people It has been a ralief to them financially.

Vice President of tbe United 8taies. I am constrained to this decision by considerations entirely per anal fa mvaelf. of which, you were advised more than a year ago, but l cannot .make the announcement ; without giving expres sion to my deep sense of gratitude to the many thousands of my countrymen who have sustained me so long and ao cordially, th&t ih(Jr faelinsr has seemed to ao beyond th ordinarv nolltlcal .adherence of fellow politicians, -and to partake somewhat of tbe nature of personal attachment For this most generous loyalty ot friendship I cn make nottdequate return, out i auau carry Nor can I refrain from . congratulating the Republican ' party ' upon the cheering nroanecta which distinguish the opening of the National contest of 1888, , as compared. with that of 1884 ' In 1883 tbe Republi can party throughout the Union met with disastrous defeat. Ten Slates that had sup ported Qarfleld and Arthur In the' election of 1880; were carried by the Democrats either by majorities or pluralities. The Re publican loss to tne northern elections com pared with the preceding National elec tion, exceeded half a million votes, aod the electoral votes of the Union, divided on tbe basis of the result of 1830. gave to the Dem ocrata over three hundred electors, out of a total of four hood red and one. There was a Dartlal reaction In favor of tbe Republi cans in tbe elections of 1883. but tbe Dem ocrats still held possession of seven North ern State, and on tbe bans or the year's contest could show more than one hun dred electors In the electoral college of tbe whole country But against thedUcouragement naturally following the adverse elections of these two years, the spirit or the Itepubllcsn party in tbe national contest of 1884 rose high. and tbe Republican masses entered into tbe campaign with such a spirit that the final retu It depended upon the vote of a t ingle Slate,-and that State was carried by the Democratic party by a plurality so ema'l that it represented lest than one-eleventh of o-.e per cent, of the, entire vote A change of a single vote in every thousand of tbe total poll would have given the Bute to tbe Republicans, though only two years berotetne Democratic plurality exceeded 19000 The elections of 1886 and 1887 have d moceireted a growing strength in tbe Re publican ranka. Seldom in our political history has a party defeated in a national election rallied immediately with such vigor as have the RepubLcans of 1884 No comparison is possible between tbe spirit of the party in 1882-8 and Its spirit in 1886 7 The two periods present simply a contrast. tfre one of general depression, the ether of entbuaia?io revival 8Hould the psrtv gain in the result of 1883 over those of 1886-7. in enytaing like the proportion of gain or 1884 over 1883 3. it would secure one of the most remarkable victories of its entire existence. Bat victory does not de pend on so large a ratio of increase Tbe party has only to maintain relatively its prestige of 1886-7. to give to its national candidate every Northern Bute but one. with a far better prospect of carrying that a ft a M. m a - one man u nas naa ior me past six years. Another feature of the political situation should inspire the Republicans with irre 8!stab!e strength. The present National administration was elected, with, if not upon, tbe repeated asaerlioeaof its leading supporters in every protection State, tfcat no iMOe of tbe tariff wss inyolvrd. How ever earnestly tbe Republicans urged that question as one of controlling Importance In tbe campaign, they were met by tbe .Democratic leaders and journals with per aWtent evasion, concealment and denial. That resource the President has fortunately removed Tbe issue which the Republi cans maintained and tbe Democrats avoided in 1884. has been prominently and specifl' eUy brought forward by tbe Democratic President, and cannot be bidden out of aiht in 1888 Tbe country, is now In tbe enjoy ores t of an Industrial system which la a quarter of a century haa assured larger national growth, mere rapid accumulation and broader distribution of wealth than were ever before known to history. The Ame rican people will sow be openly and formally asked to decide whether this sys tem shall be recklessly abandoned, and a neW trial be made of the old experiment which has uniformly led to national em barrassment and wide-spread , individual distress. On the result of such an Issue, fairly presented to the popular judgment, tbere is no room for doubt. One thing only . is necessary to assure success -complete harmony and cordial co operation pn the part of all Republicans, on the part ootn or those who aspire to' lead, and of those who are eager to fol low. The duty is not one merely of hon orable devotion to party, whose record and whose . aims are alike great, but It is one demanded by the inBlinct of self interest and by the still higher' promptings of patriotism. A closer observation of the conditions of life among the older nations gives me a more intense desire that the American people shall make no mistake in choosing the policy wblbh Inspires labor with hope and crowns it with dignity; which give safety to capital and protects its increase; which secures political power to every citizen, comfort and culture to every home. To this end. not less eartiMtW nrt more directly as a private citizen than as a puouc eaoaiaawi; 4, shall devote myself, with the confident belief that tbe adminis tration of the government will be restored to the party which has demonstrated its purpose and power to " wield it for the unity and honor of the Republic, for the prosperity and progress of the people. lam very sincerely yours, w . v Jakes GBXiAuu.
