By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Morning, March", 1891. A MODEL PLATF0R& In view of the fact that trie silver question is becoming one of the looming questions in our politics, on which Democrats hold different views, some being in favor; of free coinage, and others against ft, it be comes necessary that coop heads shall direct and the spirit of tolera tion shall prevail if we expect to win against a shrewd, bold and well disciplined enemy. ; It is very likely that in the next Democratic National Convention' there will be delegates frm those sections of the country which ' take special interest in the silver coinage question who fill en deavor to incorporate free coin age as one of the planks of the platform to be adopted which would be a great mistake, for it would debar from the list qf candi dates for the nomination forjthe Pre sidency and Vice Presidency all but avowed free coinage men arid would make this the issue looming above tariff reform and everything! else. All Democrats are united qti the cardinal princiDles of the party, and there should not be injected into the platform on which all Democrats are expected to stand any non-essential on which they might not all stand, and which might therefore become a cause of dissension and of weak ness. It will therefore behoove the platform-makers in the next convention to be exceedingly cautiousj and to show that spirit of toleration itvhich re cognizes every Democrat who strug gles for the maintenance of those great principles on which Democracy is founded, in comparison with which the number of dollars to be issued or the kind of dollars'sink into insignificance. i Great discoveries are sometimes made by accident and wise utter ances sometimes come from unex pected quarters. If we weie going to look for some model platform builders we would hardly; go out into a Western Territory to look for them, but we f.uu m a Idle number of the New York Sun a platform adopted by the Democracy of Weber county, Utah Territory, which is a model in its way, the essential parts of which, are as follows: j "The Democratic party holds, as a cardinal principal of its faith, Jthat the people of each locality, township, county, municipality, and State shall govern their own local concerns in their own wajs, subject only to the limitations of the Constitution without any j interfer ence by any extraneous power.! "Second Freedom from diss legis lation, by which one class or any indi vidual shall have any advantage over another in his or their vocatioa, calling, or business, or in the pursuit qf happi ness. 5 "Third That each individual shall have the largest individual liberty con sistent with order and justice, ja liberty which shall be unvexed by sumptuary laws. j "Fourth We are against all inter ference by the Church with the affairs of State, or of the State with the affairs of the Church. "In the language of the Constitution of the United States, we are unalterably opposed to any 'law respecting an estab lishment of religion, or which shall pro hibit the free exercise thereof.' But in respect thereof there shall be universal toleration. "Fifth A Federal Government which shall give a firm and vigorous manage ment of those great domestic and inter national concerns which belong to the whole body of the nation. "Sixth Inasmuch as there are many persons who hold to the foregoing prin ciples of the party, and are. therefore, Democrats, but who hold with their fellow-Democrats differing views on such economic questions as bimetallism, cur rency, protection and free trade, we re cognize all those as being of the Demo cratic faith who believe in and adhere to the principles enunciated in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth declara tions herein before set out." Here is a platform the spirit of which can be commended to Demo crats everywhere, a platform which embraces all the essential principles of Democracy while it shows the broadest toleration in non-essentials. Living in a section where silver and gold mining are among the leading industries and sources of income, the probabilities are that nine out of ten of these Weber county Demo crats are in favor of the free and un restricted coinage of silver, but they, with thousands of other Demo crats throughout the country, don't believe in making this a test of party fealty nor of injecting it into the party platform to become a source of discord and dissension. It will be well if the delegates to the National Convention, and the Democracy of the country at large, be inspired by the level-headed sense and the broad spirit of unity and patriotic toleration that characterizes this model Western platform. ANOTHER HISTORIC FIGURE GONE. When Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was summoned away another of the great military captains of the age passed from time to eternity. He had lived to see many of the chief actds in the great drama of 01-04, with whom he fought and against whom he fought, fall before the reaper. He saw Lee, Grant, Sheri dan, Davis, Sherman, Porter and others pass away. One of his last acts before contracting the. cold which hastened his death, was at tending the funeralJzfFXrneral Sher man, his great antagonist, whose march to the sea he had so gal lantly but unsuccessfully resist ed, between whom and him there had been a life long friendship which had not been marred by the conflict of arms or the bitterness of war. He had distinguished himself in three wars. As a young man in the Florida war, later in the Mexican war, in both of which the wounds he bore attested his valor and his dash, and in the war between the States, where he won his imperishable fame and where he engraved his name among the first of the great captains of the age. It is useless to speculate on what might have been if the Confederacy had had in the latter years of the war the men to meet the great ar mies that were hurled against it, but when Grant started on his march to Richmond and Sherman on his march to the sea, the Confederacy was re duced to a shell and all the skill of its great chieftains could do was to re tard the final collapse, which it could not prevent. This they did, and while battling with overwhelming numbers displayed a "Valor and a skill which gave them rank among the first captains of the age and won the admiration of their antagonists and of the world. This is attested by the marked consideration with which Grant treated Lee and Shqr man Johnston, and the liberal terms of surrender granted by each of the victorious Generals to his vanquished opponent. Grant and Sherman, the two great looming military figures orr that side have passed away; Lee and John ston, the two great looming military figures on this side have passed away. They led in a lost cause where human Dower could not avail, but 1od grandly and white immortal izing themselves shed a lustre of glory on their country that time can never dim. Full of honors and full of years Joseph E. Johnston, the great son of Virginia, at the age of 82, has crossed the river to join the immortal host on the other side. MINOR MENTION. We hardly realize the immense cost of conductiug the Government now and since the Republican party came into power until we compare it with the cost of government before that party came into power. In the past quarter of a century the appro priations voted by each Congress were larger than the appropriations voted by the preceding Congress,the Fifty-first capping the climax with nearly a round billion. We get some idea of what this means when it is remembered that the total cost of the Government for the first fifty years of its existence was but six hundred million dollars, a little over -rralf of what it requires now under Republican financiering to run it for one year. This cannot be explained on the ground of' increased popula tion, as is sometimes attempted, for the" expenses are entirely out of pro portion to the increase of popula tion. Economy in appropriations is an obsolete word irTthe Republican vocabulary. It seems that O'Malley, the de-" tective, who achieved fame in New Orleans as the alleged briber of some of the jurors who'brought in the ver dict in the case of the Hennessy murderers which resulted in the greatflynching, has found his way to Memphis where he has taken breath to do some talking. Public feeling had been worked up to such a pitch against him that if he had remained in the city he might have shared the same fate as the lynched Mafias, and knowing this he got out between two suns. He says it is his intention to return to New Orleans within a few days, and ex pose the Mafia, by one of the fac tions of which he says he has been employed for six years. If this be so he ought to be able to tell a pretty interesting story, but how re liable it would be, coming from such a source, is another matter. It does not seem that a man who had work ed for the Mafia for six years would rank well for veracity. STATE TOPICS. The most important public com ing event in the near future in this State, is the bouthern Inter-State Expofitionwhich is to take place in Raleigh in the montfrof October and November. The indications are that it will be an imposing affair, and that the Southern States generally will be pretty well represented. It is need less to say that this is a good thing for North Carolina, not only from the attention it draws to her as the State in which the Exposition is held, but because of the fine opportunity it will give her in making and se lecting her display preparatory to the World's Fair at Chicago. Every county in the State should take steps to be well represented at the Raleigh Exposition. CURRENT COMMENT. The next cotton crop will be a small one. There need be no combine. The elements have fixed all that. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. A number of Republican Con gressmen are making a tour of the battle-fields of the South. No doubt they are animated by a noble desire to see where their substitutes fought and bled and died. Chicago Mai, De?n. After all that was said, the old tar State increased its school fund, provided fW a State exhibit at the World's Fair and established a geological survey. It sticks, as of old time, but to no dead past. Washington Star, Ind. Vermont maple sugar is al ready coming into market in unusual quantity. Under the genial influ ence of a two-cent bounty the maple trees have shown great activity and industry in exuding their sap. Phil. Record, Dem. Some of the patriotic sons of Erin seem to regard Mr. Parnell's latest manifesto as more in the na ture of a plea for the approval of Parnell than for the relief of the Irish people. It has much more to say about his own individual merits than about the necessities and suf ferings of the Irish tenantry. Before chipping in too freely for the osten sible benefit of "the cause" they ap pear prudently disposed to inquire for whose benefit and for what "cause" they are contributing. Savannah News, Dem.

The first gun made for the Con federate Government is owned by Mrs. H. I. Miller, of Chattanooga. The owners of Libby prison now in Chicago, are in correspondence with Mrs. Miller for the purchase of the historic relic. The gun was made by Mis. Miller's father, W. S. McElwaine, at Holly Springs, Miss., in the summer of 1861. It was car ried through part of the war by a young man of Holly Springs, a friend of Mr. McElwaine. Origin ally it had a rifled barrel. About the middle of the war the barrel was injured by a ball, and the gun was returned to Mr. McElwaine, who cut it off at the injured point and bored it for a shot-gun. - Mr. McElwaine was a native of Pittefield, Mass. where he learned the trade of a machinist. Afterward he worked in a gun factory in New York, and then moved to Sandusky, Ohio, where he engaged in the foundry business. In 1859 he went on a prospecting trip to Mississippi. He settled at Holly Springs, and in a crude way began the foundry bus iness with two partners. When the war began the company had a well equipped establishment, which Jef ferson Davis induced the owners to convert into an armory. Small arms were badly needed, and Mr. McElwaine planned and made the necessary machinery for manufact uring them. With his own hands he made the first gun, which his daughter now preserves. When the battle of Shiloh was fought in 1802 the plant was turning out twenty-five stands of arms a day and employing 500 hands. The armory was afterward sold to the Confederate Government for $150, 000, in addition to the $00,000 paid for converting it into an armory. The plant was shortly afterward re moved to Macon, Ga. After the evacuation of Carinth by the Con federates a raid was made on Holly Springs and the buildings were burned. After an eventful career the maker of the first gun of the Confederacy died in Chattanooga in 1885. A REMARKABLE PREACHER. Well Preserved at 92 and Votes the Dem ocratic Ticket. Greensburg (Pa.) Record. Dr. Samuel Wakefield, of West Newton, is 02 years of age to-day. The old gentleman actually looked as if he would live as long as his five sons, all of whom were here to spend the day with him. Mr. Wakefield began his active life as a teacher of English and literature when he was but 18 years of age. Later he be came an author and gave to the world "Wakefield's Theology," six volumes of sacred music, one of which is in German ; a work on the "Constructive Principles of the Eng lish Language," and is now working on a book of six hundred sermons. He also enjoys the distinction of having built the first pipe-organ west of the Allegheny Mountains." In his time he has been a preacher, presiding elder, Justice of the Peace, Representative at Harris burg, and is now the oldest super anuated minister in the Pittsburg Conference, if not in Pennsylvasia. His children number ten five sons and five daughters who are all liv ing and enjoying good health. Mrs. Wakefield is 88 years of age, and, though quite feeble, is able to be up. Dr. Wakefield has always been a Democrat and . in 1825 voted for Andrew Jackson the year in which not one of the four candidates ob tained a majority, and the House ot Representatives chose John Quincy Adams. He was of age when Mon roe was elected to a second term, but lost his vote by his parents re moving to Mount Pleasant. His last Presdential vote was for Cleve land, and in conversation he ' ex pressed the hope that he would be able to vote for Cleveland again in 1802. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. In two years President Harrison's ad ministration has paid 265,726,077 for $228,614,950 ot bonds. He paid thirty seven millions of dollars for nothing and the people were taxed for it. And they pride themselves on that financial man agement. Raleigh News-Observer. The telegraphic dispatches report great suffering in the Northwest during the late snows thousands of men thrown out of employment and num b rs frozen to death and lost in the drifts. This is a good time to send some North Carolina literature into the blizzard-swept and ice-bound section. Durham Globe. The harmony and progress of the Farmers Alliance in this State are char acteristic of the people who are always the last in war. and the last to get out. The Alliance here accomplished in peace, what the South Carolina Alliance did in fratricidal strife. This State Al liance is more united upon the sub-treasury plan, than any other alliance. It holds to an idea, good or bad longer than other people do. Charlotte Chron icle. The First Step. Perhaps you are run down, can t eat can't sleeo. can't think, mn't Ar onv. A 7 - A.

Lew Wallace; and Secre tary Foster are almost doubles in per soral appearance, their resemblance be ing so striking that they are frequently mistaken for each other. Each is a man of medium height, weighing about 170 pounds. ' "Congressman Anderson, of Kansas, the great Pacific railroad fighter, is 56 years of age, above the medium height, stout, with a fresh colored face, set off by luxuriant gray hair. He is a man of education, pleasing address and is an advocate of free silver. ' Mrs. Florence Balgarnie was the only foreign delegate to the women's council. -She is about 25, with tail fine figure and a smiling face. Her statement of facts was clear and con cise, and the paper she read attracted much attention. Capt. James Carroll', the new Congressional delegate from Alaska, was born in Illinois and was a sailor on the lakes in his youth, but for the last eleven years commanded steamers running from Columbia river to Sitka. He rep resents a constituency of about 8,000 Alaskans. Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria is happily married to the princess of Paz, the daughter of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain. They are model couple and have sense enough to keep the old lady at a respectable distance, and to have no spare bed-room if she should happen t o drop in on them unexpectedly. King Menelek II. is now the ruler , not only of his own kingdom, Shoa, but of the far more important country of Abyssinia to the north. He is, therefore, the most powerful ruler Abyssinia has had for generations, for he has united his own country with the great highlands north of him. Mrs. Leland Stanford is so rich that she does not hesitate to wear dresses that are out of fashion by seve ral years. Nevertheless she is always handsomely attired and has magnificent jewels. She entertains a great deal and is open-handed in her assistance to women who have been less fortunate in life than herself. POLITCAL POINTS. If New Hampshire had a Re publican form of government, and Mr. Bulkeley would step down from the Governor s chair in Connecticut, things would soon be looking better in New England. Loiu'sz'ille Courier-ournal, Dem. In the view of Reed, IJoutelle and the other Republican leaders in Maine the purity, honesty and freedom of elections are very desirable down in Georgia; but they have no use for those things on the Penobscot and Kennebec. Phil. Record, Dem. The St. Louis Republic is par tially correct in saying that the three Democrats who voted for the subsidy grab voted for larceny. It would have been strictly in line with the truth if it had said that the three representatives wearing the Democratic badge who voted for the subsidy steal by that act read themselves out of companionship with honest men. Democrats do not vote for larceny. Chicago,- Times, Ind. Five defunct Republican Con gressmen of Ohio are pacing around in Washington with petitions for jobs. One wants to be a iudge under the land court bill, one longs to be a circuit judge, another hopes to be assistant secretary of the treasury, others want consulships. They were ci ippled by the Democrats at theTecent election, and in case they fail to get other offices to hold, they will doubtless apply for pensions. Gal veston News. PEERS WHO OWN RUM SHOPS. The Owners Number 152 and Their Shops Foot Up 1,520. A blue book issued by the British government discloses the fact that 152 peers of the realm are owners of places in which intoxicating drinks are sold. The number of drink shops owned by these peers is 1,529. The list is headed by the Earl of Derby, who is the owner of seventy-two drinking places. Next comes the Duke of Bedford with forty-eight "drink shops" to his credit. Then comes the Duke of Devonshire with 47, followed by the Earl of Cowder with 30, the Duke of Rutland with 37, the Earl of Dudley with 35, the Duke of Northumberland with 3-1, and the Duke of Portland with 32. In cluded in this list is the Right Rev. Richard Lewis, D. D., Bishop of Landaff, who is the owner of two places which are devoted to the sale of intoxicating liquors. "Merrily, merrily, shall I live now," the little girl said, "for I'm not to be kept in because of that horrid neuralgia.

New Jersey has a Baptist minister who claims to have baptized more people than any other man in his church."" The community in which he "resided has been grieved over his stubborn cough that has interfered with his pastoral duties.
