By TSTILLIAai H. BERNARD, WILMINGTON, N. C. EVENING EDITION. Thursday, May 24, 6 P. M. JOt7RNALIS3I AS A PROFESSION. Mr. James Partem ia not only one of the most distinguished American journalists, bat he is one of the most saccessfnl American authors. He is well qualified to give an opinion as to journalism as a profession for young men. In a conversation not long since we said that if we had a dozen sons and all were gifted and thoroughly educated, not one of them should become a journalist .- with our consent. We meant iu all seriousness just what we said. A few editors have wielded great in-" flueooe in the past Joseph Gales, Horace Greeley, J. Watson Webb, George . Prentice, John Forsyth, Thomas Ritchie, Samuel Bowles and perhaps others. But who to-day is specially known as a great and in fluential journalist? Some few are well known, like Charles Dana, Henry Watterson, and Murat Halstead, but their utter ances are not regarded as oracular or final in any sense, or as particu larly important. But our objection chiefly lies in another direction. It offers a poor field for promotion for a living in fact. It is a profession that creates other men, but does not particularly help the creator. The editorial room is not a good stepping-stone to high er position. That is our observation through forty years. Ton will be called upon constantly to aid other men in obtaining office, who are per haps unfit for the preferment and are immeasurably below one-self in all that constitutes an enlightened, qualified, well furnished citizen. We have never been acquainted with an editor of superior qualities who was not poor. He is forced through life to work like a pack-horse or like the galley-slave, and then - drop into the grave unappreciated, anoared for, "unwept, unhonored and unsung." If you should aspire to some high place according to the standard of men of the world you are regarded with suspicion and as an interloper. Gov. Holden was a man of great influence in North Car olina up to the time he began to think of the Governorship and op- - posed Ellis. What editor in North Carolina in 1888 is generally thought of for any place ? They are one and allexpected to blow the trum pet for office-seekers, but they must - not have a crumb of the good things. Electors at large, delegates to the National Convention, nominees for Congress or on the State ticket how iriany of the Fourth Estate will be honored or thought of ? This writer can. flay this, as he baa no itching for office himself -and would not have one if laid at bis feet. He has no bee in i bis bonnet and -beaver li ad one. - ; C; Th 4 field i3 efy limited,; If you should be a man of admirable parts, with rare style and fine culture you will be foolish to work in the tread mill when you can write books and make a name in literature and" per haps put money in your pocket for 'a rainy day." If you are only an ordinary mortal with but few gifts and less cultivation, you will do noth ingMn the profession and perhaps half starve. Then there are drawbaoks other wise. Journalism is not a good school for the cultivation of a. high morale, for a profound ' conscientiousness. You see so much insincerity and ly ing for effect in the newspapers that you are either driven into a huge diBgust or you become demoralized and. learn to lie easily in turn. The conscientious man who will not write a line he does not in his heart believe to be true is a jewel of the first wa ter and should be cherished by all honest, virtnous, God-feanpg men. "Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie. The fault that needs it most grows two thereby." But our purpose was not to write a dozen lines when we took up our pencil, but to copy what Mr. Par ton said. He answers the ques tion, "Do I consider journalism a de sirable profession for young men to choose," with a very emphatic, a "very huge No." He says "that stu pendous 'No' hangs over me, and my impulse still is to cry to the young men aforesaid : 'Oh, don't.' " He says, and it is true as Holy Writ : "One thing, I.fear, must always place journalism at a disadvantage, compared with other professions, such as law, art, medicine, teaching and engineering.' By the very nature of the case the writers for the daily press can have little iddependent action. Speaking roughly, and speaking of the press as we find it now in New York, and the other large cities of the United States, the publisher is everything; the writer is nothing. The most gifted and the most enlightened journalist must of necessity write to order, and in very many instances the man who gives the order is the person whom an enlighteded and pa triotic spirit would least willingly obey. This appears to be unavoidable." If we could retrace our life for thirty years and more we would not enter a newspaper office for any con sideration short of saving life. We feel sometimes like we would almost rather "be a dog and bay the moon." In the South gentlemen will not write to order," but they are nevertheless severely handicapped and restrained. You must not advocate a measure in opposition to the known policy of the paper yoa are connected, with. This of course necessitates the avoidance of topios often and cuts off variety. Mr. Parton 83ys: "This is the age of business; the business man is king, and over no kind of industry does he exercise a away to absolute as over the industry of the mind. Nor can this materially change until education concerns itself most with those faculties and powers which fit men for leadership, and the edu cated Man of necessity controls the unedu cated." There is one view that is more hopeful. Dickens, Thackeray, Thiers and lesser lights in the firmament of letters once earned their bread in the newspaper offices. But of course no such office could confine men of such genius and power. They got out into the free air and under the open sky and made themselves im mortal and the world glad. A MOST REBIARKABJLE SPEECH. We have been reading the full re port of the speeoh of Mr. Samuel S. Cox ("Sunset") in the House of Re presentatives on that curse of Ameri can humanity the War Tariff. In all this land there is but one Cox. He is mi generis. He is almost, per haps altogether, as brilliant as his Irish kinsman, R. B. Sheridan, the Wonderful; as classical almost as his other Irish kinsmna, Edmund. Burke, the Superb; as sarcastic almost as his other famous Irish kinsman, Dean Swift, the Terrible; as true to con viction and principle as another great Irish kinsman, Grattan, the Eloquent. In fact "Sunset" Cox is prodigiously clever intellectually, and, as we have heard, personally. He is one of the few men whose wit is stained by malice and whose common-sense equals his brilliancy. His speech on the Tariff is really remarkable. It is needless to say it is altogether unlike all the other able speeches made. It is the pro duction of a man of rare good sense, of uncommon cultivation, of splen dor of parts. The speech is really one of the very best made during the long protracted discussion. Be cause it is uncommon and teems with wit and humor and out of the-way learning and fairly scintillates, it' is none the less pointed, argumentative and forceful. It is full of the best sense, of learning, of reading, of wisdom, of wit and even of beauty. It is very charming reading. It fairly flashes and laughs and argues. Mr Cox has done a most . wonderful thing! he has talked! political econ omic : 6cience in auch ; an - engaging wayaa; tofmake 4j3PSSr7S it is as pleasant aa one of arays' letters ,or one "of 'Robert Louis Stevenson's best narratives. - There was one statesman, of New England who was too great to take Protection as it is now taken by the representative Republicans in the CoDgreas and out of it Protection for protections sake. We refef to Daniel Webster, the most eloquent, the greatest of all New England' public men. Here is what the "god like Daniel" said: "Suppose all nations were to act on it; they would be prosperous then; 'according to the argument, precisely in the propor tion in which they abolished intercourse with one another. Protection and en couragement may he and are, doubtless, sometimes wise and beneficial if kept with in proper limits; but when carried to an extravagant height or to the point of pro hibition the absurd character of the system manifests itself." It is not difficult to telPJ where Webster would now stand if he were living to-day. If in the Senate he would be with,Beck andjVance, with Coke and Vest, with Morgan and Colquitt in demanding relief for the people, a redaction of the great crushing War Tariff and a speedy stoppage of the supplies.

Published in Philadelphia. C UK RENT COMMEN f. Why does Mr. Randall al ways oppose the policy of the Dem ocratio party? Because he represents a district in Pennsylvania which in stead of being Democratic, is in fall accord with the Republican doctrine of protection. Mr. Randall could not advocate the policy of the Na tional Democracy and be returned to Congress from bis present con etituency. We have in Congress Mr. Randall, and a few others, while nominally Democrats and voting aa a rule with that side, pull in exactly an opposite direction upon the one great question which divides parties in this country. Norfolk Land mark, Dem. It ia only by Mr. Randall's vote and those of the few high tariff Democrats who may follow his lead that the Mill' bill can' be defe&led in the House if it is defeated at all. That bill is the leading measure of the President and of the Democratic party of the country, aud its defeat can only be a serious blow to a Dem ocratic administration, and a defeat of the Democratic promises of reve nue reform. A more shameless act of treachery to the Democratic party .could not be committed by Mr. Ran dall and his so-called Demooratio followers. We trust they may be defeated in their designs. Lynch burg Advance, Dem. Consistency is not a Repub lican jewel. The leaders in the Senate of the party that has been denouncing the Mills bill as a "dark lantern" measure are now preparing to give hearings in "executive ses sion" to the men who think they will be hurt by . a reform of the tariff. With equal consistency the Republicans in the House who ap plauded Mr. Randall's declaration that "economic questions" were not within the jurisdiction of a caucus will hold a caucus this evening to try to determine their course on the Tariff bill. If any Republicans are found who refuse to be bound by the caucus decoision, they may ex pect to be condemned as heartily as Mr. Randall was applauded. N. Y Times, Ind. Hep. Those who have taken the trouble to read the admirable re ports of the speeches of the advo cates of the Mills bill, as published in the News and 'Courier, will have no difficulty in seeing the weakness of Mr. Randall's position. As regards internal revenue taxation, it ought to be sufficient to remember Mr. Car lisle's statement that all the internal revenue taxeslmposed for war pur poses have been repealed, excepting the taxes upon luxuries, suoh as li quors and tobacoo. Is it not fair, then that any further reduction of taxation should apply to the neces saries of life? 'But if the internal re venue taxes and the import duties stood otherwise on approximately the same footing, there is a funda mental difference between the effects of their repeal. There is no proposi tion to repeal the tariff taxes on li quors 'or tobacco. It is proposed that these taxes shall continue, even if the interna? taxeB be repealed, Tho consumers of the domestic products "would perhaps not get the benefit of the whole of .the redootioar of taxaV itionl&Ithenmiffht happen, that very nearly the "whole of the 'differ1 ence would go into the pockets of the manufacturer.- Charleston News fc Courier, Dem : t i "-- nopreaa court ieclslna. v Raleigh News- Observer.

BILL NYE IN WASHINGTON Letter in N. Y. World. Here in Washington the colored man has the air of one who is hold ing up one corner of the great na tional strnoture. Whether he is opening your soft-boiled eggs for you in the morning or putting bay rum on your nose, checking your um brella, or brushing you with a wilted whisk broom, his thoughts are most ly upon national affairs. He is na turally animitator wherever he goes, and this old resident of Washington has watched and studied the air and language of eminent statesmen so oarefully that when he goes forth in the morning with his whitewashing portfolio on his arm, he walks uncon sciously like Senator Evarts or John James Ingalls. I saw a colored man taking a per pendicular lunch at the depot yesterday, and evidently the veteran Georgia Senator is his model, for he cut his costard pie into large rectangular hunks and pushed it back behind his glottis with a case knife, after which he drew in a sau cerful of tea with a loud and violent Ways-and-Means-Committee report which reminded me of the noise made by an unwearied cyclone try ing to suck a oistern dry. I think that the colored man exaggerated the imitation somewhat, but he was evidently striving to assume the table manners of Senator Brown, of Georgia. For this reason, it for no other members of the Cabinet, Senators Representatives, Jadges and heads of departments cannot be too caref nl in their daily walk and conversation. Unconsciously they are moulding the customs, the manners and the styles of dress which are to become the customs, the manners aud- tb dress ef a whole race. The gTeat colleges of this coun try are degenerating. Dartmouth has re stricted football. Harvard con ansa athletics to very narrow limits, and .Cornell has in stitute strict rtdeasgaiiut hazing.

The Asylum has within its walls six hundred orphans. It seemed positive that the fire in each case had been started by one or more of the children in the building. One boy has confessed to having aided In starting the fire, and seve ral of them are no under arrest. These fires have thrown the msjority of the orphans into the greatest fear, as during at least one of the incendiary attempts the building came near being consumed. From the partial confession made, it would ap pear that the boy simply tried to burn the building down in order to escape.

One build ing was carried across the railroad track and crushed, and Amanda Willis, colored, who had taken refuge inside, was instantly killed. Eight persons, including the sHterifl and county recorder, were fatally injured. The damage will exceed $12,000.
