BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, Nov. 5, 1B91 A LAND OF PROMISE This country is a great one; there is no doubt about that. In general enlightenment,' progress, civil and religious liberty, individual and col lective independence it leads all the countries in the world; there is no doubt about that - fn fertility ot soil, in the abundance and richness ot natural resources.in the genius and ability of the people to utilize these resources and turn them into agencies for the progress and com fort ot men and into sources of wealth there is no other country under the sun to compare with it. In its capacity to take in and assimilate the peoples of other countries, adopt them into the civic family and make them feel as of the household, there has never been and never will be another like it. There is not a country in the world where the individual man amounts to so much, or where he stands'so much upon his own efforts or merits, independent of ancestry or the accidents of birth and social surroundings, or where brains climb to the top and command respect, ad miration and honor. - Bounded on two sides by the two greatest oceans, it haswith one ex ception the greatest rivers, the great est lakes, the greatest railroads, the greatest mountain ranges, the widest! prairies, the grandest forests, the biggest trees, the greatest varieties of farm products, fruits and vegeta bles, the fastest horses, handsomest women and noisest Congress in the world, and it has more climates in one day than any other country that has any climate at all. Betweea Cape Cod and the Golden Gate it can ordinarily supply any kind that is wanted, and sometimes on short notice several kinds that are not wanted. Geographically, for convenience sake in speaking more than any thing else, it is divided into four sec tions, North, South, East and West, each having some peculiar charac teristic to distinguish it, but much in common, so much in common that the stranger couldn't easily tell in ' what they differed. There is, how, - ever, a difference aipong the people from force of habit and education, which adapts one to one thing and one to another, and a difference" in the resources of each section that gives each its peculiar prominence. In area the West and the South overshadow the others, and in the boundless resources- of field, forest, mine and quarry the South over shadows all, and for this reason is to-day the land of promise and is to be the land of fruition. Take all that vast area reaching from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, em bracing plane and hill, moun tain and valley, forest and field, rich in the soil, with boundless wealth beneath, and.there is not one living man that has the slightest conception of its real resources or possibilities. If a man twenty-five years ago had drawn an imaginary picture of the South as she is to-day, with her thousands of evidences of progress, he would have been look ed upon as a visionary enthusiast or a lunatic at large. No 'man could have done it then, and no man can now predict what trie South will be twenty-five years hence, for there is not one man in five hundred, even among Southern men, who have any thing like an accurate conception of ttie vastness of her resources, or of the strides she is making in develop ing and utilizing these resources. Recently a party of Northern cap italists made a tour of inspection through portions of the South and when they returned, says the Balti timore Sun, they expressed them selves as amazed at at the evidences of prosperity and progress which they beheld on all sides. They were prepared for much from what they had read and knew, but not for half as much as they saw. They beheld new towns springing up and old ones taking on new life and en ergy, manufacturing towns with iron mills, furnaces and other indus tries where a few years ago were cornfields, new railroads penetrating forests where not long ago the crack of the hunter's rifle or the roar of the river tumbling over rocks broke the silence that reigned, and all this with so little parade, noise and glori fication that few people outside knew really what was going on. Statistics tell the story of progress, but these are only partially made and made at such intervals that they soon become back numbers and even these are seen by few, and even to these few every new report seems a revelation. So steady and rapid is the progress of the South that the man who keeps up with it must keep ,on tne move ana keep his eyes open. She is not only the land of promise but the land of fruition, where there is yet room for thousands and a cordial welcome for all that come with honest in tent. MINOR MENTION. In a recent conversation with a re porter for the New York Herald Thomas A. Edison, the great electri cian and inventor, remarked that he would hereafter give but little atten tion, if any, to the solution of the problem of working gold ores, but would turn his thoughts to iron, as that was the great metal, after all, and much more valuable as a money producer than gold, and that New Jersey would yet show some marvel lous results as an iron-producer. As between iron and gold, in his re marks as to their comparative value and as sources of wealth, Mr. Edison is undoubtedly correct, for every dollar's worth of gold taken out of the earth has cost at least three dol lars in labor, while the same amount of money would get out a ton of iron, worth in its crude shape from fif teen to twenty dollars in gold, and in its manufactured forms many times as much. Iron builds cities, railroads, manufactories, and gives employment to many thousands, and wealth to thousands of men, while gold only partially helps to pay for these. As between- gold and iron, iron is the royal metal every time. Edison's head is level. 35 SK - The two noted campaigners in the late campaigns were Governor Campbell, of Ohio, and Governor Boies, of Iowa. No two harder workers ever went before the peo ple, and no two men ever bore' the standards of - their party more gal lantly. From the time that Gov ernor Campbell mounted the stump until the campaign closed Monday night he was constantly on the move making one or more speeches a day (except Sunday) and towards the close of the campaign as many as eight or ten a day, - and bristling, pointed marrowy speeches they were. Governor Boies thoroughly canvassed every district in his State, which was a work of labor in the time he had to do it, for ; Iowa is a large State and not intersected with railroads as some of the States furth er east are, but he did his work and did it admirably, making one, two, three and sometimes four speeches in-a day and; rattling good ones, too. They are both men to be proud of whether victorious or de feated. : - The so-called People's Party does not seem to have cut a conspicious figure in any of the States which held elections Tuesday, with the exception of Kansas,and there it signally failed in fulfilling the gilded predictions" of Jerry Simpson. Senator Pfefler and others of its sponsors. Had it hot been for the fact that there were fusions with the Democrats,1 who hoped thus to beat the Republicans, "ft would not have have made the showing it did. The fact is it was a sort of a still-born concern, with - a self-constituted leadership in whom the farmers had' little confidence and for whom not much respect. As a political factor it played out in the first round. TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. The dispatches which appeared in the Star yesterday and those that follow to-day give us a pretty cor rect idea ofhe elections which took place Tuesday. Interest centereon New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and Iowa, which were the doubtful States and the battle-grounds. Of these four, the Democrats have carried New York and a majority of the Leg islature, have elected Gov. Russell in Massachusetts, with the indications strongly in their favor of Boise in Iowa by an increased majority, and probably the Legislature. The Re publicans have pulled through in Ohio, electing a majority of the Legislature, which ensures the re turn of a Republican to the U. S. Senate, and McKinleyby a majority that will not be anything to boast of, considering the amount of money spent, and herculean efforts made to save him. While the Democrats hoped to carry Ohio, there were not many who were sanguine of it. On the whole the Democracy has no cause to feel disappointed over the result, and are in pretty good shape now for the big fight a year hence. The result in Ohio means the elim inatiou of the silver question is a national issue in the' next.' contest tariff reform the slogan, and the nom inatition of Cleveland as the Demo cratic standard bearer, while it somewhat complicates the situation for the Republicans by bringing Mr. McKinley , prominently to the front to contest the honors with Har rison and Blaine.

Even in the life of , the grimy rail road engineer, whose existence is of almost constant danger, tnere some times falls a spark of light and a ray of human sunshine illuminates his smoky cab, penetrates his greasy blouse and finds its way deep down into his breast. . A little incident happened down at the mole the other evening after the arrival ot the overland train, which, though ot a simple nature v will long be remem bered by a certain C. P. en gineer. The great iron monster at tached to the train was throbbing and puffing after the long and sinu ous trip over mountain sides and rocky defiles, trembling trestles and marshy stretches. The din in the depot was deafening, but out of the chaos of sounds a sweet, girlish voice was heard welcoming home her parents, who had arrived on the train. She was a little golden-haired beauty, scarcely six years of age, with a quick, intelligent eye and a loving nature, to which she gave full vent in the radiant and impulsive way she welcomed her fond parents back. At last they took her by the hand and proceeded toward the waiting ferry boat. As they passed by the engine belonging to the train the little one broke away, ran up to the big black machine and patted the driving wheels affectionately with her little white hands. Look ing up at the smokestack, she said: "You good, big old iron horse, you have brought back my papa and mamma safe over the fearful moun tains to their little girl, and I want to thank, you, even if you don't care care for me because I am so little, and you, too," she continued, turn ing her tace wistfully toward the grimy engineer, who was leaning out of the cab window, "I love you both." Then she kissed her hand to him and was gone like a ray of sun shine. Just then a fleeting sunbeam from the great orb sinking down into the Golden Gate came stealing through a chink in the depot and stole by the engineer into his cab. There was a strange look on his face for an in stant, and all at once the depot was dark and lonesome. When he turned his head into the cab there were two light spots on the cheeks of his dust begrimed face. TREES GROW FROM TREES. The Queen "Mangrove" Successfully Grown by the University. Philadelphia Record. The Botanical Department of the University of Pennsylvania has just succeeded in growing a plant which in its native land has a great com mercial value, but has here com pletely baffled all former efforts to grow it. This plant is known in the technical language as the Rhizophora Mangle more commonly as the "Mangrove." It is a native of trophical regions and shoots stems downward, like the Banyan tree of India. These stems eventu ally take root in the ground and spring forth again as separate trees. Thus, from a single tree, a whole forest is produced within a compara tively short time. Sometimes, however, the stems, which are about seven inches in length, drop into the ocean, and are carried hundreds and hundreds of miles out to sea, until a jut of rock, an oyster bed, or a ledge of sand is met with. However barren the rock may be, whether there is soil on it or not, this plant has a peculiar fac ulty of attaching itself and growing with cejerity. Ultimately, sea-weed and other flotsam and jetsam of the ocean are borne by the current to this little bit of rock and held there. In course of time a whole island or peninsula is formed; and an impene trable force ot mangroves is estab lished. These mangroves, continu ally forming additional soil, by rea son of falling branches and dead leaves, in time also die, and coacanuts and palm seeds, car ried by the current from other lands, 'germinate in the soil thus formed. Hitherto, it has been found im possible to grow mangrove out of the influence of salt air. Professor Wilson, of the Botanical Department of the University, has, however, in a mixture of sharp beach sand and a little vegetable mould, succeeded. These are supposed to be the only specimens of tne plant in any hot house of the United States, and their successful growth has been very gratifying. Tannin, which is exten sively used for leather purposes, is extracted from the mangrove, and this gives the plant its great com mercial value. THE SHAH'S JEWELS. One Strong Boom Contains . Precious Stones Worth $35,000,000. New York fournal. The Shah of Persia must be enor mously rich; all the travellers say, so. Mr. Eastwick, the famous traveller, has told us of a strong room, 20x14 feet, that contains jewels valued at .7,000,000. You reach it by a steep stair and by a narrow door, which, however, will serve. It is quite wide enough to admit the Kalanian crown, shaped like a flower-pot and topped by an uncut ruby from Siam as large as a hen's egg. . The pearls, rubies and emeralds, loose or mounted, lie in trays. The Kalanian belt weighs about eighteen pounds in precious stones. One or two scabbards are said to be worth $1,250,000 each. PERSONAL. - - Gea. Boulanger's mother is still unaware ot her son's sad end. Dr. W: R. Lee, of Springfield, Ohio, who has been appointed . physi cian to the King of Siam, is only 28 years old. - Mrs. 'Augusta J. Evans Wilson, ot Mobile, author of "Beulah," "St. Elmo," and "Vashti," is about tp return to literary work. . Eugene Winchett, who owns a street railway in Detroit, has ordered that workmen carrying - dinner pails . be allowed to ride free. Ex-Gov. "Bob".

The beautiful Archduchess Margarite Sophia, the saint, as she is called, of the house of Austria, is seri ously ill with typhoid fever. She was born in 1870, and elected, a few years ago, abbess of a female community of noble ladies. A $2,000,000 DIAMOND. The Sort of Sparklers They Have in Dis tant Indie. Curious mention is made in the London Spectator of a recent lawsuit between a jeweler of Simia and a young Prince of India over a $2, 000,000 diamond. Little is said of the origin of the diamond. It is spoken of as "new," and is known as the Imperial. It seems that the Imperial fell in to the possession of an Italian named Barn, whose business it is to go from court to court in Asia deal ing in brilliants. He it is who figures in F. Marion Crawfords most famous novel as "Mr. Isaacs." In Si mia he is known as "Mr. Jacobs." One of the best customers of this Oriental diamond dealer was the young Nizam, of Hyderabad. This prii.ee is a young athlete, and is something of a scientist. He is rich. Some time ago the Nizam agreed to buy the Imperial diamond, and the Drice fixed upon was 430,000 ($2,150,000.) So, at least, avowed the diamond dealer, and, doubtless, he was right, for such was the tenor of the testi mony before the Supreme Court at Simla. For, having repented of his bargain, the Nizam refused, at a pinch, to pay over the $2,150,000 for the bit of sparkling carbon, and the most famous jeweler in Asia brought suit. The plea of the Nizam was that he did not "approve" of the stone, and the Court let him off. A DISTANCE RECORDER. The If umber of Miles Traversed by a Cab Correctly Indicated. The latest application of the well known distance recorder is to cabs, the apparatus faithfully registering the actual distance travelled, and the proper amount the cabman should charge. The mechanism consists of two small boxes, one of which con tains the transmitting apparatus and the other the recording device, the two being connected by a flexi ble shaft. The transmitter is fixed on one of the axles of the cab, and a spindle, actuated by a cam, operates a ratchet wheel which causes the flexible shaft to revolve. This re cords the distance on the diat in the interior of the cab in plain view of the passenger. The recorder, be sides indicating the exact amount of fare due, also keeps a record on a cardboard disc at the back of the machine of the work done and money taken in during the day. cord attached to the disc of recorder enables the cabman place the fixed pointer at zero fore commencing a journey. the A the to be- Electrlc Bitters.
