Some of the European nations
seem to be pooling their issues on
the commercial line. We suspect
that the McKinley tariff and Blaine's

this.
Between the actual deficits and
the "apparent" deficits reported by
the U. S. Treasury officials it is quite
apparent that these gentleman are
pretty badly mixed over their fig
ures. Hippolyte reports that everything
in Hayti is tranquil now, and so are
the hundred and sixty odd fellows
that his soldiers shot the daylights
out of at his command.
The contending factions in Chili
do not seem to be making much
havoc with each other but they are
everlastingly smashing wharves and
such things, which will have a dam
aging effect on the guano business.
It was considered evidence of in
sanity in that young Russian who
came to Washington to "help Harri
son run the Governmer." But
there are thousands of Republicans
n this country who are willing and
anxious to do that thing whose sani
ty is never suspected.
The New York Tribune says that
the President is "carefully consider
ing" a suggestion that Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland be appointed
as a member of the National
Immigration Board, which is" be
ing urged by various organiza
tions of women. It would im
prove the Harrison administration
very much to have any Cleveland
stock even thus remotely connected
with it.
The Haytian Secretary of State
says Hippolyte was at his devotions
in church when the insurgent racket
broke out. When he got through
with these he came out and on horse
back at the head of his forces, he
displayed wonderful courage in go
ing for the rebs, amid a shower of
shot. These rebs must have been
badly scared or miserable poor shots
who couldn't hit a big black target
like Hippolyte, stuck up on a horse.
Hipp has been riding a pretty high
horse ever since he's been in.
That Sioux doctor who a few days
ago married that New England
poetess, Miss Elaine Goodale, may
fancy himself in clover now, but
when in cool soberfilast she tackles
him with a lot of that poetry then
the poor child of the forest well dis
cover how fleetnig are the joys of
life, and what mighty sorrows some
times come and settle down over a
fellow like a mansard roof. Then
in his heart he will wish he had al
ways remained an untutored and .un
captured savage.
1. HE
VOL. XLVIII.NO: 79. .
Ex-Governor David S. Reid died
at his home irr Reidsville, Rocking
ham county,, last Friday, in the 79th
year of his age. He was a typical
Democrat from the time - he entered
public life in 1835. .He served his
county in the State Senate from '35
to '40, his district m Congress from
'42 to '47. In '48 he was, without
his knowledge, nominated for Gov
ernor, but was defeated. In 1850
he was Te-nominated against his
wishes and was elected, the first
Democratic Governor in North Car
lina. He was an advocate of free
suffrage and on that he made his
campaign. Although taking a keen
interest in politics and in the success
of the Democratic party, he has not
figured much since.the war. He was
a true man and commanded un
bounded confidence on account of
his recognized sterling honesty and
devotion to principle.
Hippolyte is sixty years, old, and
as black as tar. He got the bulge
on Legitime because Legitime was
only half and half and the Haytians
haven't any use for mixed colors.
That's the reason why they haven't
taken kindly to Fred Douglass, who
is somewhat mixed himself and made
the mix worse by taking along his
white wife.

The first watermelons of the
season were on the market yesterday.
They were from Georgia and looked, as
a colored observer remarked, "just good
enough to eat." The, price was only
thirty-five cents each for small ones,
but as the Star reporter had nothing in
the way of small change with him, he
was saved a bill for paregoric and many
painful reflections.
A number of Wilmington's ir
resistibly pretty dudes, arrayed in their
best "Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes,
delicately perfumed, and with their hair
properly soaked with bandoline and
parted down . the centre, called a't the
Purcell during Sunday afternoon to
make a mash on Mile. DeGrace. They
were presented to the lady in due form,
but failed to make an impression.
Professor Gilbert was busily

panied by Miss Bate, the aeronaut.
Put a Stop To It.
The Star published, not long since,
a synopsis of the city ordinance inJ"e
gard to hitching teams or animals to
the shade trees of the streets. The
practice of using the trees for hitching
posts is very common; in fact it is done
many times every day, and in conse
quence many beautiful shade trees are
being ruined. Won't the city authori
ties take action to stop it before it is too
late? m m r
Crops in Robeson A Cotton Bloom.
The editor of the Scottish Chief, Red
Springs, N. C, sends the bTAR a cotton
bloom, which he says "was plucked
Jrom a 20-acre field (average size cotton)
belonging to J. D. McNeill, a young
farmer residing near Red Springs. The
recent favorable weather is having a
vitalizing effect upon the crops, and our
farmers generally are in high spirits."
N. C, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1891,
MORE HELP NEEDED.
The Postoffice Badly in Need of More
Clerks The Business at this Office Has
Outgrown the Force Employed to
Handle it.
Now that the Postoffice has been
moved to its permanent home in the
new government building, with an
abundance of room, light and ventila
tion, and superior fixtures, the public
naturally expect a great improvement in
trfe service. In order to properly
serve this city, however, Mr. G. Z.
French should be given more help, and
that at once. The business of this of
fice has been for a long time past, . and
is, still steadily, increasing; and as there
has not been a corresponding increase
in the office force, the business has out
grown their capacity lor prompt hand
ling, while they are all badly over
worked. This is especially true of the
late hours of the afternoon and during
the evenmg, when the mails arrive
on the various roads. That over
the Wilmington & Weldon road arriving
at 5.55; that over the C. F. & Y. V. at
6.05 and that over the Carolina Central
at 8, o'clock p. m., all with heavy mail
for distribution; while at the same time
there is to be prepared, the out-going
mail for the W., C. & A. road at 6.10 and
10.10 p. m. the Carolina Central at 8
o'clock, p. m. and the W. & W. through
Northern mail at 12.20 a. m. This
makes a bad rush during the very hours
when prompt service is of the' utmost
importance to the business public. It
is plain to the careful observer that Mr.
French is doing all that is possible with
his present force, and in the interest of
the better service that is so badly need
ed the Star would suggest that the
business men of the city take some
united action to secure the proper at
tention of the department at Washing
ton, and the necessary increase in the
force here.

Allen silk quality, taken from a patch of
Dr. R. G. Sloan's, at Little River.
Mr. j. W. Cannon, of Shallotte.
Brunswick county, sends a bloom,
plucked from the farm of Solomon
Hewett, lune 21st, three days later than
last year. Cotton, Mr. Cannon says, is
larger this year up to date than last year,
on Shallotte, Farmers, are all in good
spirits; but rain is needed.
Mr. J. C. New, Pee Dee, writes en

FIRST VIRGINIA REGIMENT.
To J oin the N. C. State Guard at Wrighte-ville-A
Committee of the Chamber of
- Commerce of Richmond to Accompany
the Troops.
A meeting of the Committee on Com
merce and Commercial Usages of the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce was
held last week to consider the commu
nication of Col. H. C. Jones in reference
to the encampment of the First Virginia
Regiment at Wrightsville, N. C, on the
18th proximo, which was referred to this
committee at the annual meeting of the
Chamber.
Messrs.4 W. T. Hancock, William M.
Bridges, Samuel Register, and H. Wal
lerstein, of the committee, and Col. H.
C. Jones were present, the latter by in
vitation to explain to the committee the
opportunity which this occasion would
afford the business men of Richmond
for further cultivating and cementing
friendly and business relations with mer
chants from all sections of North Caro
lina. Colonel Jones explained that the in
vitation to his regiment from the Gover
nor of North Carolina to encamp with
the State Guard of North Carolina at
this delightful seashore resort was
prompted by the cordial desire on the
part of the people of that State to re
ciprocate some of the courtesies which
they had received at Richmond, and
that therefore it was important that an
appreciation of the honor should "be
shown by the. regiment in going to this
encampment with full ranks. In order
to accomplish this he desired to enlist
the interest of the Chamber and of
Richmond's business men generally, and
he felt that he could more appropriate
ly do so as the North Carolina troops,
which would be gathered at Wrights
ville on that ccasio n in rank and file,
consisted largely of merchants from
every section of the State, and as we
had experienced the good results de
rived from business men's excursions,
both to and from North Carolina, he
thought this would be a most favorable
opportunity of again bringing the com
mercial men of the two States in con
tact. He therefore hoped not only that the
business men of Richmond would in all
cases allow their employees, where
members of the regiment, a leave of ab
sence to go with the regiment in its en
campment, to last one week from the
18th of July, but also that a committee
from the Chamber might accompany the
regiment on that occasion. The expense
of the trip would be very light, he said,
asjthe round-trip ticket was only $5.75
and the location of the place selected
for the encampment immediately upon
the coast of North Carolina, just about
nine miles from Wilmington he was
assured was a most healthy and pleasant
spot in all respects.
The committee unanimously favored
the suggestions of Colonel Jones, and
decided that a circular-letter should be
addressed to all the members of the
Chamber embodying his views, and that
Colonel Purcell, the president of the
Chamber should be asked to appoint
upon a committee to visit this en
campment such of our business men out
side of the regiment as were willing to
go at their own expense.

DEATH OF P. N.:STANBACK.
One of the Most Prominent Citizens of the
Pee Dee Section.
One of our best known and most
prominent citizens, Mr. P. N. Stanback,
died last Tuesday, aged 79. Prior to
the war Mr. Stanback was the model
farmer of our county. He was a noble,
generous man, full of charity and good
deeds to the poor, and his hospitable
mansion on the Pee Dee was always
filled with friends. No man in our State
was more loyal to the Confederate cause,
or' contributed more, in proportion
to ' his means, to its support
than our deceased friend. Always loyal
to the South, iust and patriotic as a citi
zen, charitable to the poor and as noble
hearted a man as ever breathed is the
splendid record made by this "old-time
gentleman;" and not one of the smallest
legacies left to his sorrowing family. In
all that constitutes true patriotis-rfl and
noble citizenship our- county never had
his superior. X.
Enforce the Law.
There is an ordinance, and one not

law. We have not heard of a fine yet
