By WILLIAM II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Morning, April 29. THEY MUST LOCK H0BNS. Several occurrences have taken place lately which make it very plain that Blaine will be in the con test for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1892. Not long ago a delegation visited him in Washington for the express purpose of ascertaining from him whether they were at iiberty to use his name in that connection. He replied to their inquiry Jby saying substantially that occuping a position as a cabinet officer he could not antagonize Mr. Harrison, which, of course, these friends of his understood perfectly well. But when they persisted in declaring that they proposed work ing to bring about his nomination, without effort or co-operation on his part, and that all they wished to "know was that he would not decline if nominated, he refused to reply in the negatiVe but maintained a sig nificant silence which they very properly construed into a tacit ac quiescence. But a still more significant inci dent took place at the convention of the Republican National League at Cincinnati last week, when ex-Gov. Foraker eulogized Blaine so highly and scarcely gave a passing notice to Mr. Harrison. Its significance does not consist so much in the fact that the eulogistic remarks ' were made by a man who has figured so prominently in Ohio politics as ex Gov. Foraker, as in the manner with which the remarks were received by the convention, and the wild enthu siasm which the mention of Blaine's name evoked. Foraker spoke of Blaines' "brilliant administration" as if he were President, and compared him to Lincoln and Grant. The names of Lincoln and Grant, we are told, were greeted with slight ap plause, but every allusion to Blaine aroused a perfect storm of enthusi asm. It is useless for Foraker to protest that it was not his intention to ignore Harrison and to boom Blaine for whether that was his intention or not that's what he did and eight peo ple out of ten who know Foraker, and know how he regards Harrison, believe that he did it intentionally, and that he went to the convention with his "extempore" speech care fully prepared. It is not at all un likely that Foraker would not object to take-the second place on the ticket with Mr. Blaine, for if Blaine be nominated it is pretty certain that the nominee for Vice President would come from Ohio or Indiana. Blaine is a shrewd mover and the probabilities are that if he could have shaped the course of proceed ings in that convention he would have muzzled Foraker and thus pre vented the demonstrations which must precipitate the issue between !-" 4,' ' " ---J.mwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmWmmmmmmmmwmmm HM. w , , , , , , ....... , , -" him and the eentlemarvwho is mak ing a dead set for a second term, and is now swinging round the circle, with that object mainly in view. ,. But while he is consummate .master of the art of self government, he is not able to govern the actions nor bridle the tongues of those Republicans who look upon him as the real leader of the party who are zealously at tached to him and haven't a particle of use tor Harrison. Blaine would avoid an open rupture with Har rison, but they being governed less by policy, and restrained by no sense of personal relations, in stead of avoiding the rupture would rather invite it. They resent Harri son's assumptions, and his efforts to overshadow Blaine even more than Blaine himself does, although it is pretty well known that he, while making no public sign, feels it keenly. Blaine's friends have not failed to notice, nor has Blaine, that in his speeches on his trip Harrison does not hesitate to create the impression that he is doing everything in his power to promote reciprocity and build up our commerce with other nations, while as a matter of fact he and Tom Reed and McKinley would have killed reciprocity as dead as a smoked herring if they had thought it safe to have done so. But it took with the people and it took them, and now Harrison is claiming to be its particular friend, ignoring the fact that if it hadn't been for Blaine's persistence it wouldn't have stood the ghost of a chance for recognition during his administration. They have noticed, too, in Frank Leslie's Newspaper, with which Rus sell Harrison is editorially connect ed, it was stated on "excellent au thority," that it was Mr. Harrison who took the decided stand in the controversy with Italy over the New Orleans affair, and that the subsequent correspondence by Mr. Blaine took its decisive turn accord ingly, which shows that Mr. Harri son it not only endeavoring to steal Blaine's reciprocity thunder but his Italian thunder, too. The effect of all this can only be to make Blaine's friends more de termined to assert his claims, to re sent the selfish unfairness and as sumptions of Harrison and to pre cipitate the rupture which must in evitably come before many moons. MINOR MENTION. Several days ago Mr. L. V. Ste phens, State Treasurer of Missouri, while on a visit to New York, called on Mr. Cleveland and had a long free chat on the silver question. In the course of a day or two an alleged interview appeared in print in which Mr. Cleveland was made to appear as having changed his position on the silver coinage question, and lean ing towards free coinage. When Mr. Cleveland's attention was called to it he said that while portions of it re ported him correctly there was much put into his mouth that he didn't say and enough to place him in an en tirely false position. On inquiry of Mr. Stephens it seems that he ran up with a newspaper reporter of the New York Evening Telegram, with some imagination, inventive genius and a facile pencil, to whom he com municated the substance of his con versation with Mr. Cleveland out of which grew the alleged interview. Mr. Stephens, however, sticks to it that Mr. Cleveland did say in reply tp the question direct, if in the event he were elected to the Presi dency in 1892, and a free coinage bill were passed he would veto it, that 1892 was some distance off, and it wasn't well to attempt to cross a bridge until we got to it, which he construed into meaning that if such a bill were passed he would not veto it. If Mr. Cleveland did say this, it furnishes additional proof that he is quite level-headed. k There are now in the United States about 158,000 miles of railway in operation. During the pass twenty years the average construction has been 5,700 miles a year, but last year there were constructed 6,080 miles, showing that the work of railroad building is on the increase instead of diminishing. This is largely due to the new field that has been opened for railroad building in the South where one half, if not more, of the new mileage for several years past has been constructed, and where it will continue to increase largely for years to come. A hundred and fifty eight thousand miles of road sounds loud and it is, but when compared with the area of country through which these roads run and the busi ness they receive the mileage is in significant. These railroads give employment directly to 700,000 men, and indirectly to perhaps as many more. The increased consumption of oat meal as an article ofjfood in this country has made the manufacture of it a considerable industry." ; Ostensi bly to foster this business there was a tariff duty of half a cent a pound, or about 20 per "cent;, levied upon imported meal, which proved such" a protection .that last year there was less than $60,000 worth of foreign meal imported. But. the manufac turers were not satisfied with this, and succeeded in having the tariff doubled in the McKinley bill, and now that they have practically ex cluded foreign meal, and have the oat-meal consumers at their mercy they have formed a trust, and hence forth people who eat oat-meal will have to pay the prices fixed by the trust. We have, however, an anti trust law which was fabricated by tie Hon. John Sherman, to which these trust organizers pay as little atten tion as they do to the Hon. John Sherman's sneezes. That was a remarkably good run of the steam cruiser San Francisco from San Francisco to Payta, Peru, a distance of 4,500 miles, in fourteen days, or an average of about thir teen miles an hour for the whole dis tance. The actual running rate must have been more than this, as she probably touched at a number of ports on the way. But the vessel that is capable of making this time, in a long run like that, will do to count on and possibly can run with or away from, if necessary, any of the brag runners of other nations now afloat. The ships that Uncle Sam is building are good ones. STATE TOPICS. According to the Raleigh Chronicle the City of Oaks has a prospect of a fine hotel, something of which she has long been in need. It will be constructed by a syndicate of Balti moreans, which has been formed to build four fine hotels at different points on the Seaboard Air-Line. The Raleigh hotel will be a $250, 000 structure, two hundred and fifty feet front and five stories high, fronting on Nash Square, on one of the highest points in the city. It is to be equipped with all the modern improvements, and to be a first -class structure in all respects. If nothing happens to interfere with present plans and arrangements work on it will be commenced shortly. This is something upon which, if it materi alizes, Raleigh is to be congratula ted, for one of the very best adver tisements for a town is a fine hotel well kept. CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. Cleveland says that Mr. Stephens of Missouri put those silver words in his mouth and Mr. Stephens says the reporter did it. Of course, the reporter is to blame. He always is. What the newspapers need is a reporter who can prepare an oscil lating interconvertible interview war ranted to fit all opinions and to coin cide with the fluctuations of public feeling and of the person inter viewed. Washington Star, Ind. Two million adult and male Germans are working for wages that average less than $150 a year, and wages are coming down, instead of going up. In England the average of wages is about double that of Germany, though England . is far more crowded, having more than five hundred inhabitants to the square mile, while Germany has less than two hundred and fifty. Germany has a tariff, England is open to the trade and wealth of the world. The illustration is sufficient. Louisville Courier- Journal, Dem. President Harrison if he is renominated next year will have a great many things to think of after the election is over. His thoughts will wander back to the luxurious trip he is now taking through the country, and he will no doubt muse in the following fashion: "The peo ple cheered me and covered me with flowers all the way from Washington to the Pacific coast, but great Scott ! how they piled up the majority against me. I went among them seeking votes, and they gave me bouquets. Such is Xiz."New Or leans States, Dem. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES.

IS MR. BLAINE TURNED DOWN? The Administration 1 Organ Lets Ziooae - Some Alleged.Seoreta of State. - Buffalo , Courier. . Mr. Harrison evidently does not intend that his subordinate, Mr. Blaine, shall monopolize the glory of the Italian diplomatic "incident." This is made efear by an utterance of the family .organ, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, ; owned and conducted . by W. J. Arkell and Rus sell B. Harrison; The number of this journal for the week ending April 18 is just re ceived! Its leading editorial article, entitled "American grit," comes to us encircled by a broad blue . pencil mark, that we may not over-look it. It is as follows: r ; "From the best authority we learn that the hand of President Harrison has been firmly at the helm during the recent outbreak of feeling to ward the United States on the part of the Italian government. When others advocated conciliation he stood firmly for the American side of the question. He held that if this Government was right it could not afford to withdraw one step from the stand it had taken. Mr. Blaine, after consideration, fully agreed with the President. Though no pub lic mention of the fact has been made before, it is still the truth that President Harrison from the outset defined the attitude of this Govern? ment in the Italian controversy ancj insisted on its firmest maintenance. The action of the Italian govern ment was so rash and ill-advised that it was no less than a threat and an insult. The President was right. Every American, regardless of poli tics, heartily supported him in refu sing to submit to the demands of Italy. He has shown his Indiana grit, and we are glad of it." Thus the assurance Is repeated that it is Harrison, not Blaine, who is upholding the flag and defying the land of macaroni. If Mr. Blaine's friends do not like this treatment of their favorite in an inspired article m the family organ of the administra tion, it is not easy to see how they can help themselves.

The find ing of human bones, old crockery and other curious relics in a bricked pit under the rear portion of the old Barnum's Hotel attracted crowds of persons to the spot to-day. They consisted of leg bones and ribs. A huge jaw bone with teeth was also unearthed. A couple of old bottles filled with what had once been some sort of liquor were discovered rest ing on a flat stone. A large quantity of East Indian blue and white crockery was unearthed,also a couple of curiously shaped earthern pots. The bones were pronounced by doc tors to be the remains of men and women. They had evidently been buried for many years. A pair of slippers of peculiar pointed shape, almost falling apart with age, were picked up by one of the relic hunters. They no doubt belonged to a woman. How the bones or pit came there is at present a mystery. The bodies appear to nave Deen tnrown in per fectly naked. There was not the slightest trace of any wearing appa rel discovered, with the exception of the pair of slippers. One who "knows it all" said to-day that many years ago his father had told him of a no torious gambling den that had exist ed on the site of Barnum's Hotel. This was long before the hotel was built. The place was of very bad charac ter, and several murders were known to have been committed within its walls. It stood on the edge of the woods, and was surrounded by a high wall. It was also rumored at that time that theTe was a secret passage or tunnel under the place, as many such places had in those days. To-day a box containing old coin was found near the old vault, and it is possible the place may have been the headquarters of a band of outlaws or robbers, who lured men into their den and then murdered them. POLITICAL POINTS. Clearly Mr. Blaine thinks clubs arc tiumps, andhe played them for all they are worth at Cincinnati, while Mr. Harrison ia chasing rainbows around the radiant sunset. It is simply a matter of judgment. Savannah News, Dem. Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire are without a Republi can form of government, otherwise they would have a Democratic Governors and Senators, and the United States Senate would be Democratic. Cincin nati Euquirer, Dem. Those who from their personal or sectional standpoint see the only wise national policy for the President and his party in the building up of an exclusive white party at the South neglect to con sider the colored Republicans of the close States of the north who would doubtless have something to say on the subject. Wash. Star, Ind. James G. Blaine is now far in the lead as the Republican candidate for President in 1892, and therein is his peril. It is true that, for the first time in his public career, the issues which make him indisputably the foremost candidate of his party for the Presidency, are not issues invented and formulated as polit ical expedients.. Times, Ind. - Gen. Butler's luncheon, which hs eats at 2 o'clock p. m., does not vary from day to day. It comprises one small bam sandwich, one small chicken sandwich, and a few swlalows of brandy and water. He takes it with him from Lowell to Boston every morning and does? not eat anything else between breakfast and dinner. EVOLUTION OF THE KNIFE. The Evolution of This Useful Implement From the " Sharpened Flint" -."This case-" full of instruments which we have, newly placed ; on ex hibition is designed to show the de velopment of the tool which we call the knife, beginning with the earliest times," said Prof. Mason at .the Na tional Museum to a. Star reporter. "First; you observe,; is the fragment of flint which the savage split by by banging it on top With a stone hammer into a number . of flakes. The smaller ones were used for ar row points and the bigger ones for knives, their edges being split off so sharp that you - might almost shave with some of them. Next you see the flint flake inserted into a handle of split wood or bone, and, as fur ther improvements, the fastening of this primitive knife in the handle by the rosia of trees and by cords of one sort or another bound around to secure it. The most beautiful knife in the collection is the exquisitely molded blade of greenish jade be longing to the stone age branded with a walrus tusk. You can hardly find a more admirably formed wea pon among the products of modern cutlery wares. Most curious of the modern tools here is - this sailor's knife, square at the end instead of pointed, to prevent stabbing in a row or the dangerous falling of the weapon from aloft. Its blade drops out at the end of the handle when a catch is touched, so that Jack can hold a rope with one hand and open the knife for service without the need of ten fingers." PERSONAL.
