By WILLIAJI H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, Jan. 8, 1SV1 CONTEMPT OF PUBLIC OPINION Two somewhat conspicuous Re publican statesmen have recently given expression to utterances which sho.v the estimate they pat upon public opinion. They are both New England men, and both Force bill advocates, and both, for present emergencies at least, in favor of what is called in Senatorial parlance the "cloture," but in plain English the gag. One is Senator Edmunds, the other Senator Hoar. The former being interrogated on his support of the gag rule proposi tion remarked that it was "immater ial to him what the public thought of it," that he would support it all the same if he believed it to be his duty to do so. The man who per forms his duty regardless of the opinion of his fellow men is a brave man, but a man who wan.s to do a mean thing in defiance of the opinions of his fellow men, U'ider the pretense that it is his duty wnn he knows it is not is neither brave nor honest. Mr. Edmuuds' knows that it is not his duty to sup port the gag proposition which is be fore the Senate, for he had put. him self on record against it wnen it was broached in the Senate dirring the tariff debate. He then "thanked G J that there was one House in winch there was freedom of debate," and unhesitatingly declared that he was uncompromisingly opposed to an v- proposition which looked to a closing of debate in any other than th ; customary mode of proceeding in the Senate. It vvas not until he became a con vert to the Force bill iniquity that he consented to stultify himself by asserting that the gag which he had so unequivocally objected to was right and proper. In his partisan subserviency he can afford to defy public opinion because he is secure in the seat which he holds, has no high er ambition and knows that he can mount no higher. Consequently his defiance of public opinion is no evi dence of bravery or moral courage, but evidence only of the depths to which he is willing to descend to ac complish the partisan schemes which he and his co-conspirators have in view. His co-worker, Senator Hoar, ex pressed the same sentiment when he sa'd that a party which asked wheth er a measure was popular or not be fore it advocated it would be beaten, which in other words means that a party should have no regard for pu ilic opinion. This was a direct reference to the Force bill which he and other Republicans were trying to force through the Senate. His remark was a tacit admission that the Force bill was not endorsed by the American people, but notwith standing this he held that he and his colleagues, representing not the American people but the fag end of a defeated and demoralized party, should rush that bill through regard less of public opinion. And yet this is a country in which the people are supposed to be the sovereign sourceof power, the mas ters, while the Senators, although they strut in assumed dignity, are supposed to be their servants, to do their work and their will in matters appertaining to the public weal. It is not singular, however, that these two men should feel this con tempt for public opinion, but it is a little remarkable that they should so freely give utterance to it. Their affiliations for thirty years have been with a party one of whose dis tinguishing characteristics hds been its utter indifference to public opin ion when public opinion ran counter to any of its cherished schemes. It has managed to retain power so long not by seeking and deserving the en dorsement of the people, but by an unparalleled system of fraud, cor ruption, hypocrisy and violence, to which they would add the climax in the infamous Force bill, which was relegated to the shades last Mon day. This as one of the final acts of infamy they are trying to put through in defiance and contempt of public opinion. The day may come when even their constituents may teach them that they dare not des pise public opinion, as the people of the country last November taught the faithless, arrogant, treacherous party of which they assume to be leaders, not much in the way of lead ers, but about as good as th2 party can afford these days. MINOR MENTION. Evidence is accumulating that this Government is responsible for the Indian war which has already re sulted -in the slaughter of several hundred Indians, including many women and children, and a number of soldiers, not taking into account the loss of stock to the Government and settlers, and destruction of pro perty. Mr. Charles Meserve, Super intendent of the Indian school at Lawrence, Kansas, says if the In dians had been accorded simple jus tice, and had received the money and the rations due them there would have been no trouble, but the 'fact was that they were being slowly starved to death. Father Craft, a Jesuit Missionary, who was stabbed at the battle of Wounded Knee, and is still hanging between life and death, in a published letter a couple weeks before he was wounded, said the same. Both of these men are honest, and are in a position to be familiar with the situation and to know what they are talking about. Gen. Miles in his communication with the War De partment, substantially endorses what they say, and follows up his endorsement by asking for the re moval of three Inaian Agents, and that army officers (who as a rule don't steal) be put in their places. In his message to Congress Presi dent Harrison admitted that the In dians had not been paid the money due them, and urged that provision be made for the payment. And yet when these Indians with this cruel treatment, being robbed and starved by Indian rings, are driven to des peration, and when attacked, kill some white people, they are declared blood-thirsty savages, and a brutal war of extermination is to be waged against them. .They are savages, and being savages is that much of an ex cuse for excesses which they in their rage may commit. But the men who robbed, starved and drove them into armed resistance, cannot plead in extenuation that they are savages. They are civilized, so-called Chris tians. The blood-reeking savage is the nobler and better man of the two. The Financial bill had the floor in the Senate Tuesday and in his speech Senator Teller, Rep., who is an advocate of free coinage, took occasion to emphatically deny that there was any understanding be tween the free coinage Republicans and Democratic Senators to set the Force bill aside and take up the Financial bill. Senator Vet, who replied to Senator Morrill, also de nied it, and declared positively that there was not the slightest founda tion for such an assertion. We con fess that it looked to us very much as if there had been, and we would have regarded such an understanding as eminently proper. The Force bill advocates are perfectly unscru pulous, they werejengaged in a most infamous scheme to destroy the liberties of the people of one sec tion of this country at least, and to defeat them any parliamentary re course or combination would have been justifiable. It was a game of wits and tactics where conspirators were arrayed against patriots, in which the patriots proved too much fnr th r.nnsnirators. that's all. If - - i j they did this without combination or understanding with friendlies (as they say of the peaceably disposed Indians), it is well; it sucn comDina- i i i tion had been necessary anu nau been made it would have been well too. m About the time of the passage or the Silver bill during the first ses sion of the present Congress the Na tional Economist, published in Wash ington, intimated very broadly in an editorial that a pool had been formed by certain Senators and Representa tives to buy silver, which they knew would advance in price on the pas sage of that bill, and that the pool had made about a million dollars by the combination. On the publica tion of this article a Southern Rep resentative, Mr. Herbert, of Ala bama, we think, on a question of personal privilege, reacf that edito rial and demanded an investi gation. It was decided that as no direct allegation had been made and no names mentioned, there was not sufficient grounds for an investigation and then the matter for the time being was dropped. Shortly after tie beginning of the present session Representative Dock ery, of Missouri, offered a resolu tion, reciting that whereas rumors of this kind were current, the House owed it to itself to investigate the matter. The resolution went to a committee of which boss Reed is chairman, and has never seen the light since. Not not long agoSena- .tor Farwell, of Illinois, being inter viewed on the alleged pool, said that he heard of it in Washington, but that he was not in it, and very plainly intimated that such a pool had been formed. If Mr. Reed and his committee are anxious to get some information on the subject this interview with Senator Farwell may be a pointer. But it is suspected that the committee already knows more than it cares to make public. Senator Hoar has been quite silent since he was flattened out Monday, but Senator Edmunds is evidently in a very bad humor. He was in a sar castic mood, altogether sour, Tues day morning when the Senate met, and when he gets that way even a big hunk of Vermont maple sugar, with a- bounty on it, won't sweeten him up. He looked around the Sen ate chamber and when he saw only about a dozen Senators and ever so many vacant chairs he scowled, in dulged in some remarks, and sug gested that the Sergeant-at-arms be dispatched forthwith with instruc tions to intimate to the Senators who lived remote from the scene of hos tilities that when it suited their con venience they could come in and attend to business. It don't seem tojjiave occurred to the irate Ver rnonter that this is just what the aforesaid Senators have been doing all along, no;withstanding the oft repeated resolutions to meet at 10 a. m. There are some people in this world who can be hurried, but U .S. Senators are not of them. They are as a rule heavy bodies and move slow. STATE TOPICS. The fourth exhibition of the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial Association begins at New Berne,. February 23rd, and con tinues to the 28th inclusive.

The premium list which we nave just received shows a large number of premiums offered amount ing in the aggregate to a consider able sum, while there are in addition a good many special premiums. CURRENT COMMENT. Senator Hawlay has a poor opinion of heaven. He says the Mississippi Constitution is a fraud, and then adds that "it seems to have been brought in by Providence" to help out the Force bill. IV. Y. World, Dem. The steamship subsidy swin dle in Congress -belongs essentially to the tariff spoliation policy. Like the tariff, the subsidy job has the object of benefiting the few at the expense of the many. It would be gross flattery to call any man who votes in Congress for this steamship subsidy job a Democrat. Phil. Record, Dem. The West End Railroad Cor poration of Boston has raised the wages of its drivers and conductors. We do not find that there is any high protective tariff to increase the pro fits of this corporation, but we are sure that it will not be long pefore Republican apologists will be claim ing this advance in wages as one of the beneficent results of the McKin ley tax-raising tariff. N. Y. Star, Dem. If Senator Hoar were to take up his residence in Alabama, invest all the earnings of a lifetime in his iron mines, would he feel sate witn a legislature of ignorant men, white or black, which by a majority vote could at any moment close those mines and drive him into banicruptcyr Would he demand the enactment of a Force bill, make a house to house visitation and personally persuade ignorant, white or black, to elect members of the Legislature with the certainty of financial disaster as a consequence ? Not a bit of it ? Why, then, ask Southerners to do what under no circumstances he would do himself if he were in their place ? N. Y. Herald, Ind. . A GIRL'S BAD AIM. The Only Thing That Saved a Mississippi Girl's Assailant. New York fournal. On a road in Mississippi we met a young lady on horseback a plain looking girl about 18 years old. We were in a wagon, and as we met the driver halted his mules and saluted: "Mawnin', Miss Libbie." "Mawnin', Sam," she replied. "Gwine along up ?" "Yes." "All the folks toleable ?" "Yes." With that she rode on and our team started up. The road was rough and wound through the woods, and we had proceeded about thirty rods when we heard the report of a pistol, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press. "Quick we're needed!" shouted my companion, and he flung down the lines, leaped to the ground and took the back track at a run. I fol lowed him and directly we came in sight of the girl. She was on her feet, working at the bridle of her horse, and lying on the ground not ten feet away was the body of a negro, hatless, coatless and bare footed. "He was hidden behind that tree' explained the girl. "He got hold of the bridle and broke this rein. I think I kHled him." A small revolver lay on the ground beside her. We went over to the body and were about to examine it when the legs began to kick, the eyes opened and the fellow scram bled to his feet. He seemed dazed for a moment, and as he stood be fore us I saw blood oozing out over his chest. Then, of a sudden, he wheeled and bounded away into the thicket. "You didn't dun kill him, Miss Libbie," sajd the driver as he went over to her. "It's better, perhaps," she replied "Here, Sam, give me a lift." He helped her to the saddle, and as she gathered up the reins and cantered off she waved her whip as a farewell and was out of sight in two minutes. "She's got nerve," I observed, as we stood looking after her. "Yes," he replied, in an absent way, "but not to brag of. She orter finished him after she got off the hoss." THE CHAMPION GUZZLER. How Hans Found Out if He Was Fit to Tackle a Bis Drink. It was a New Year's Eve and a party of men sat around a table in a Wlariem cate. They were washing out memories of the old year with copious draughts of beer. Gradual ly the conversation turned upon the the drinking capacities of certain people. One man said he knew a fellow in Hoboken who had drunk a quart of lager without stopping to take an other breath. Another declared that a man who lived next door to him in Tremont was able to drink at last forty glasses a day, and still able to write his name after drinking the last glass. Others told amazing tales of other prodigious guzzlers, but all were si lenced by a little man. He said he could produce a chap who could out drink anybody. "Why," he said, "he can swallow a bucket (containing about two gal lons) at one sitting." This statement having been dis puted, the little man offered to put his champion to the test then and there. He left the room, but return ed soon with a stalwart, rotund Ger man. "Hans," he said, "are you willing to drink a bucket of beer if I pay for it?" - " "I vas villing," he responded, "but I not know if I can. Vait a moment and I vill see about it." Hans went away. In a few. min utes he came back and announced that he was ready to undergo the ordeal. Quickly the bucket of beer was drawn, and it was all solid fluid, too. Hans seated himself at a table and began to drink, Slowly the foamy liquid trickled down the German's throat until he had drank the last drop. Then he put the bucket on the table with a bang, wiped beads of perspiration from his brow, and lit his pipe with an air of self-satisfaction. "Hans," inquired the little man, "why didn't you drink the beer when you first came in?" "Vy!" exclaimed the German, "I not know I could drink dot mooch. So I goes me out and drinks von bucket of beer. Den I knows vot I could do. See?" It is sad to think that Nebuchadnez zar after his gay life had to go to grass, but sadder the thought that so many men of promise and ability find early graves by carelessness in not checking a cold in its early stages by the use of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, which can be bought for 25 cents. Salvation Oil, the greatest cure on earth for pain, is universally accepted by horsemen and veterinarians as the tu iusuftm of liniments. f 1 PERSONAL. Princess Beatrice, of England, is writing a book on lace, to be illustra ted by herself. Mrs. Plumb, the wife of Sena tor Plumb, of Kansas, has been an inva lid for several years. Mrs. Harrison painted many little gifts to be sent to old friends at Christmas. .They are principally flower pieces. The Czar Alexander III. has recently suffered severely from the gout, and his physicians have vetoed his former indulgence in high living. - Senator Berry, of Arkansas, is one of the poorest men in Congress. He lives in a very" economic way, and relies on his salary to pay his bills. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, left Yale College in 1849 to join the Ar gonauts. He believes that the gold hunters have seen their best days. Bismarck expects to finish his memoirs in six months, and may decide not to interrupt the work by accepting a seat in the Prussian House of Lords. Lord Wolseley was at one time a tremendous smoker. For many years he used to smoke steadily from 6 in the morning till bedtime, smoking nothing but big black dears. Queen Victoria drives out at 4 o'clock every day, no matter what the weather may be. She is usually accom panied by the Princess Beatrice, the lady in waiting and invited guest. Governor Russell, of Massa chusetts, did not own "real estate to the value of jl,000," as required by the con stitution of that State, until a few days before his election, when Mrs. Russell transferred to him the deeds for their residence in Cambridge. This seems more like a buv-law than like a consti tution. Phil. Ledger. POLITICAL HOI NTS. Three-quarters of the farmers in this country are staggering under heavy mortgages. All right, gentlemen. If you like the fun keep at it If you don't, why, there is the ballot box, and '92 is not far off. N. Y. Herald, Ind. Mr. Hoar says the blood of the Southern martyrs is crying for ven geance. Then why not introduce a bill for that purpose, and not masquerade behind a measure alleged to have been framed for the purpose of reforming elections. Let us have our revenge straight from the shoulder. Washing ton Post. Ind. Speaking of the cloture scheme, the New York Tribune of Saturday bo dly states : "If it can be passed, the Republicans will be able to pass through the Senate pending party measures." Exacly! Every one must admire such a brazen-faced declaration as this. Cin cinnati Enquirer, Dem. The Milwaukee Sentinel advises Congress to go into the woods, sit on a log and think hard for a month if it is anxious to do something to relieve the financial situation. The Sentinel doesn't know it evidently, but to most people it has been apparent that the majority members of Congress have been doing that very thing ever since last election day. "Bumps on a log" describes them pretty accurately. Chicago Times, Ind. Xlie First Step.
