Uy U1LLIAH II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Satubda y Morning, July 25, 1891 HOTWOBSE, BUT BETTER. There is a prevalent opinion that the age we live in is a very corrupt and wicked one. but that is an erroneous opinion. The world as a whole is better than it ever was. - Men are morally and physically in a better condition than they were a hundred years ago, the bonds that bind the different classes of society are stronger than they were a hun dred years ago, the distinctions that divided people into classes are fewer than they were a hundred years ago, and a man stands a better chance in the battle of life on his own merits than he did a hundred years ago. -j When the men of 1776 declared that all men were born free and equal and founded this great Re public upon that idea they not only declared for the liberty of man, but they also initiated the era of mental and moral development, for they be gan the destruction of the caste which had prevailed more or less in all civilized countries up to that time and kept the masses under the heel of the so-called "blooded" aris tocracy, with royalty at its head. i. Asa result of this American spirit which has gone abroad and has had more or less educating and elevating influence in every civilized country ,in the world, there is more freedom of thought and of action in the world now than there ever was, there is more of the spirit of fraternity be- -t ween men, more sympathy for those in distress, and closer relations be tween the rich and the poor than there ever was. Each age is apt to judge itself harshly and forget while doing so how it compares with the preceding -ge or ages. Men are prone to judge their contemporaries harshly without stopping to compare them with the men of the-preceding age or ages. A story is told of a dis tinguished citizen of South Carolina, whose name has escaped us, who a half a century ago, or - more. served one term in Congress, and when tendered a renomina tion peremptorily declined it, giving as a reason that he "had too much self-respect to sit for another term in such a notoriously corrupt body. He might haVe been too rigid in his ideas, - or over sensitive and thus judged his contemporary statesmen too harshly, as many do now. I Asfie press, steam and electricity have done their work in the enlight enment of men, bringing them to gether in a more universal brother hood, so they have brought the nations closer together and devel- a more friendly spirit among them Brute force is not the power it once was, and even powerful nations have some regard for "the opinions 'o mankind. While there are still wars and always will be while the spirit of pugnacity and selfishness m II i 1.1.1 V . BL w w find a dace in men. war is not now the business of nations as it once was, nor do they engage in it on such slight provocation! . Now human life is more valued than in ages past and rulers feel more their responsibility to God and to man.' An opinion prevails that we live in ademoralized age because the cities of the world are growing larger and some of them have become immense hives of human beings where millions oi mortals gather to engage n their various avocations. There I is no country that hasn't its greaif cities, which, lare as thev are. are an nually growing more populous. London counts her 4,000,000 of people, about one eighth the population of England, : and nearly the population of Ireland, all crowded within ten or twelve miles square. Pans, with her 2,500,000, is France in epitome. New York, in cluding Brooklyn and other suburbs, contains more people than were in the thirteen original States when the Republic was founded. Of course in great cities like these, filled by promiscuous multitudes, as I all cities are, there must be more or less wicked and lawless men land wo men, more or less crime and -more or ess poverty and wretchedness. But in these days of organized police, de- tectiyes, newspapers and telegraphs and cables, if there be a lawless out break, a great crime, or any special suffering to attract attention J within a day it is flashed over the wires and cables and published in the thous ands of papers throughout the civ ilized world, when even fifty years ago these things would never be heard of outside of the cquntry in which they happened . and! perhaps not in all of that. The ! achieve ments of genius in harnessing steam and electricity have placed f a great mirror before us in which we see re flected, and become witnesses of the doings of the world, and that is why so many have got the idea ;that the world is now so very wicked, with out considering the great increase of population, or the rapidity with which news is dispatched around the globe. There is no more; nor as much crime in the world as there was ages ago, in proportion to the population; but we Iearfi of it quicker, that's all. The World is getting better, and will be better still a hundred years hence khan it is to-day. Intellectually and in scien tific achievement the meri of this day are infants compared With what the men of the latter half of the next century will be. . We heed not envy the men who lived in the past but we may envy the; mortals whose privilege it will be to live in the coming centuries. MINOR MENTION. A few weeks ago a report came from the West that there was a movement on foot in the Alliance to get the farmers to hold back the wheat crop of this year tci run the price up, which report was after wards" contradicted. A similar re port now comes from St. Paul, Minn., to the effect that that city has been made the headquarters of the United Farmers' Alliahce, and I that circulars are being sent out to I the wheat growers of thej country urging them to withhold their wheat for several weeks, and thus force the prices up. They thinkjthey can get enough of the farmers to do this to accomplish the obiect in view. Some are disposed to condemn this .action, and characterize the movement as a "trust," and;ask why should farmers condemn trusts when they form trusts themselves? But it is nofa trust in the accepted mean- ing of that term. The trusts are moneyed corporations which buy up productive industries, and by com- bination drive competitors out of the market, thus securing a monop oly of the products upon which the trusts are formed. When there seems to be an overstocked market in manufactured goods of any kind the manufacturers agree o limit production, and withhold the stocks until the market recovers, and no one finds fault with this While the manufacturers do not show a dispo- sltion to demand extortionate prices. As business enterprises there must be concert of action among them to conduct their business successfully, and there is no reason why there should not be concert of action among the farmers in the planting" and marketing of their crops, nor is there any reasonable objection to be made to it while they do riot with hold crops to demand extortionate prices, which they are not disposed to do. ' - 1 J The Tennessee mining trouble has been happily settled for the present, the miners having accepted the proposition of the Governor by which they agree to permit thecon victs to work in the mines and not to molest them, nor commit any vio- lence within sixty k days, within which time the Legislature will be called together to take action in the matter in dispute. If Gov. - Buch anan had been less precipitate in or dering out the militia and had pur sued the course at first which he did at last it would have been much more to his credit and would have saved the State much money useless- ly expended. The miners have been under excellent control from the be ginning, and while firm in the de mand that the convicts shall not be employed in competition with them have shown no disposition to destroy the property of the offending com panies or indulge in riotousness and thus they retained the sympathy of the public, which they had at first. The Philadelphia Enquirer esti mates the number of Americans who now annually visit Europe at 90,000, and the amount of money they spend at $48,000,000. The total number for tenjears is put at 712,146, making an average of 71,214, which, calcu- lating by the same ratio of expense, would give us $38,951,062 a year, or $389,510,620 for the ten years from 1881 to and including 1890. This is a very low estimate, and probably does not begin to reach, the mark, but it shows where a pretty big pile of American money goes every year. This would be all well enough if the money went for educational travel ling, but a very large proportion of those who go do so because it is fashionable, and they are satisfied when they ran across the water, take in the sights of some of the big cities and come back knowing about as little of Europe as they do of China. And not one in ten that goes has travelled enough in his own country to converse intelligently upon it with enquiring Europeans I that they may meet. The; man who can travel should see something of his own country before he goes abroad to advertise his ignorance. It seems that the friends of Sena tor Sherman are making an effort to have a conference with the friends of his rival, Foraker, with a view to in- ducmg him to retire from the Sena- I torial race and leave the field" to Sherman. But Foraker is not built on the withdrawing plan, especially when there is such an enticing object in the political perspective as a seat in the U. S. Senate. He says that such a suggestion is simply prepos terous, and that no man with any gumption in him would for a moment think of citing him before such a conclave. Sherman, who knows his man, emphatically declares that he didn't have anything to do with sug gesting this conference, that he fully recognizes the right of Mr. Foraker to aspire to the Senate and get there if he can. He says" he. will not "scramble" for the votes of the mem bers of the Legislature (he will, how ever, do considerable hustling in a quiet way), but if elected he is will ing to sacrifice himself for six years more. In the meantime ! the Demo crats will try to take care of the Leg islature and relieve both Foraker and Sherman of the necessity of sacri- ficine themselves by electing a Dem ocrat to the Senate. STATE TOPICS. '' The Charlotte News says that Mr. John Wadsworth, proprietor of the model farm near Charlotte, disputes the assertion that the finest field of corn in Mecklenburg county is in Matthew's township He informs the agricultural editor of the " News the he has fields of corn on his farm "so high and thick that lightning bugs are lightnin' in it all day long, think- ing it is night" Wadsworth is ex- cusable for indulging in a little ex- ap-s-eration. but he has as a fact one of the best farms in the United States. We doubt whether for pro ductiveness its superior can be found anywhere, and the remarkable thing about it is that that farm was not many years ago a worn out old field, considered almost worthless and bought by Mr. Wadsworth for a few dollars an acre. It has been brought to its present productive capacity by Illiberal manuring and level-headed management. It is not for sale, but if it was we do not think $300 an acre would buy it. CURRENT COMMENT. Blaine's physical condition is not conclusive. He s not half Xs sick as the party was last November and they pretend to have no end of hope and v, vitality yet. Phil. Times, Ind. j Copying the attitude of Mr. Cullom's shoulder ; respecting the possibility of a Presidential nomina tion being hurled in its vicinity as a missile, Mr. Foraker gives out the news that he would not run away from the Ohio Senatorship if he should find it coming his way, Fora ker's way is well known.' Anyway that leads to the crib of patronage or to the toga of high civic station is Jboraker s way-rY-7W. Jtecora, Dent. - Dictator Quay evidently sees the, necessity for, getting out of the Republican National Executive Committee." but feels veryw loth to let go his grip upon the helm of power. Just where he would get the "great honor"; that he ascribes to himself in case he can suddenly dodge out before any one can make any unpleasant remarks upon his personal character is not . clear to the distant ; observer.

Editor Star-rA. greeting from the border of the "Land of the Sky." The coast with its many attrac tions, old ocean in its various moods now flinging a salt kiss to every newcomer,! white foam from, its crested waves as if in its! restless energy it would bid defiance to everything the green carpet of Camp Fowle dotted with tents, and uniformed pickets pacing to and fro soldiers passing in stately review, presumably for in spection of the Chief Executive of the State, but in reality that the thousands! of bright eyed fair ones may see ana aamire tne sailing, . . . . . . dancing, and fishing the inspiring martial music all these would seem to be of such attractive power as to hold fast a Wilmingtonian, but when one has spent several consecutive summers amid these scenes, and es pecially if one has not health neces sary to the enjoyment of this varied activity, there comes a lonrrinp- for a change! and rest not thak kind, however, that the fellow found who after a summer's outing, said "the waiters got all his change and the hotel man the rest!" Soit came to pass that your cor respondent went out in search of resting place and folding her tent not silently like the Arabs, but with the usual bustle and stir incident to the packins: of a womans trunk proceeded to Charlotte to reconnoi tre and (investigate the relative merits of the various resorts in the hill country. Sparkling Catawba was highly recommended and sojourn here has proven it justly so. Here one can restore the roses to faded cheeks by drinking of its invigorating health-giving waters and breathing the pure bracing mountain air as, it comes wafted from thej peaks of the Blue Ridge, only twenty miles distant. This is an old and well known re sort for both health and pleasure Seekers, and thousands can bear tes timony to tho curative effects of the water arid the pleasure afforded by a stay at this charming place. Situa ted seven miles from Hickory, at an elevation of one thousand feet above the sea-level, the surrounding scenery is beautiful. Rolling hills beauti fully shaded, and carpeted with green, form the grounds whereon stand many cottages peeping out invitingly among the foliage of the hickory trees while the commodious hotel occupies a commanding posi tion on one of the hill-tops, from which extends a broad walk to the Springs nestled in a basin where several hills converge. The waters are strongly impregnated with sul phur, and an analysis has shown also arsenic, j magnesia, bromide and phosphorus. The curative properties ot the water were well known to the Indians, and an bid iron dipper used at the Spring is said to have been left there by them. The proprietors, Dr. E. O. Elliott and son, together with Dr. Elliott's accomplished wife and daughter, make every effort to insure the com fort and happiness of their guests. The cuisine is excellent in variety and preparation, and the service courteous and attentive. Georgia, North and South Caro lina are represented in the guests now assembled, and the jtays are whiled jaway with music, ten-pins, horseback riding, bathing for there is an excellent swimming pool and last, but not least eating, drinking (Spring' water) and sleeping. ' It is a resort where there is quite variety enough to prevent monotony, and a pleasing absence of that effort at fashionable display .which charac terizes and renders irksome to many a stay at many other watering places. For k nice, quiet, refined resting place, Where healthy exercise, plea sant companionship, good food, and comfortable quarters are required, the Sparkling Catawba Springs ex actly fills the bill. Come up, Wil mingtonians, and try it. E. id Ice to iriotber. b or Over Fifty Years Mrs. Winslow s Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothers for their chil dren while teething. .

Now that his ancient foe, Mahone, is out of the way the game has lost its inter est for him. - - M.

Murray, of the New York police force, is very badly broken phys ically. He is suffering from shaking palsy, and has become a. shadow of his former robust physique. Whittier is quoted as saying the-other day that there were times when it seemed to him that he must take ' up his pen and write, but that he felt that he had done enough and that' his work was really comple. The only man in the Muscovite Empire whose influence on the Czar counterbalances and sometimes over rides that of the stern Procurator of the Holy Synod, M. Pobiedoutsoff, is a Ro man Catholic abbe, a mere village priest, named Zudmowski. Col. John Hay: one of the joint authors of the famous Lincoln bi ography, has a trim figure, closely crop ped- gray whiskers and a mustache and elegant way of handling his glasses, which bespeaks the man of leisure. Col. Hay married a large fortune. The King of Belgium has not succeeded in making his Congo invest ments pay very well, so badly indeed. that they have well nigh swallowed up his own fortune, if not also the vast pro perty that he holds in trust for his sister. the ex-Lm press Carlotta of Mexico. ' Mr. Stanley's contract with the American publishers of his book called for $50,000 in royalty.
