BKBNAHD. WILMINGTON, N. C Friuay Morning, April 12, 1895. IHVADING THE EAST. The Washington Star says that one of the things decided . upon by the conference of the leaders of the new silver party recently Held in Wash ington was to open an aggressive campaign in the East and work for the labor vote. Whatever of strength this movement may have ap to this time is in the West and the Sooth, in those States where the Populist party was strong enough to have an organi zation and pat candidates in the field. The Populist party ;had no strength in the East, and seemed to take it for granted that it could gain, none, for it made no organized effort in any of the Middle or New England States. That was bad politics, and the leaders of the silver party show themselves better politicians by avoiding that blunder. In discussing the prospective situa tion politically a short while ago Mr. Chauncey M. Depew said that the silver question was not giving the Eastern people any trouble and that they were- concerning themselves very little about it, for which reason the Republican leaders were giving themselves very little trouble about the East, which they counted upon as all right on the financial question. This was an assumption based upon the absence of any agitation in that section, and the non-existence of any agitating organization, the two old parties in the East' and also in the Middle States being in practi cal accord on the financial question. But if.this agitation were begun by men who are aggressive and in earnest, possessing the money neces sary to publish and distribute their literature, and put speakers in the field to carry on the campaign of education, they might very seriously disturb the equanimity of the other party leaders, and make them hustle around. Their plan of operations is under stood to be the systematic distribu tion of catchy literature to working men's organizations, and to laborers ot all classes in city, town and coun try where such distribution is practi cable, and doubtless many of the labor leaders will cheerfully co-operate with them in this work. They calculate that .this will be more effective than any campaigning that might be done in the open field, especially in the heat of apolitical campaign after the party Hoes had been drawn, for the work will be done quietly, with nothing to dis tract, and no blare of trumpets nor flutter of flags to divert attention from the issue at stake. The argu ment and the appeal is made on paper, with nothing or no one to gainsay either. There is danger in that -kind of a campaign, because there is no way of ascertaining its direct effect or to offset its influence. There is no use in denying the fact that they can make a pretty strong case with the toilers who labor for wages, with the array of figures that they will present showing the depreciation of wages which they will contend has been the result of contraction of the currency, and ad herence to the gold standard, just as they have convinced thousands of f armers in the West and in the South that the decline in the prices of farm products has been brought about by the same causes. Persuade the la boring man that bis wages will be in creased by the expansion of the vol ume of mocey and he will favor ex pansion in spite of all the fine writ ing that may be done on "sound money," etc. He would rather have a dollar and a half a day in silver than a dollar in gold, even if the dol lar in gold bought as ' much as the . dollar and a half; In silver; hich it -Will not. VA:-- : '.: These silver men will be material. ly aided in carrying ; out their plans Lby the fact that the tanff question is for the present out of the way and .can't be utilized by -the leaders of : other parties to divert attention from - the financial question which will in all probability- loom up as a clean cut issuer The worker in the pro tected industries will be induced to look to the success of the party -fpf expansion for an increase of" iVages, just as he was for years taught to look to the protective tariff for which he kept on voting election after elec tion, for that" one" reason and no other. Now that he no longer has anything to. hope for. from that, it is not doing - violence . to the proba bilities to believe that he could be very easily induced to affiliate with any party which promised to increase his wages and furnish' him reasons enough to make him believe it meant it.' ' ' There is both shrewdness and pol itic In this movement, whether the results meet the' expectations of the planners or not,1 for to accomplish anything of importance they must "carry the war into Africa" and break, the solidity of the Northeastern States on the money question. They may not be able to do this to the ex tent of capturing outright any of those "sound" money strongholds, and it is not to be supposed that they can, but if they develop a for midable following it will put them in a position to offer terms to other parties and form alliances which may result substantially in accomplishing what they are aiming at. The well equipped politician understands the art of diplomacy as well as of fight ing. . mSOB. MEBTI0H. The Rev. Dr. Lansing while at tending the Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, at Salem, Mass., recently achieved some noto riety which be would rather not have now, by publicly charging the Presi dent with a gross intemperance. Usually men occupying high public station do not stop to stamp out the malicious reports that may be put In circulation about them, for there are few who altogether escape the tongue of the traducer, but this slander was heralded in such a presence and with such an air of assurance that it called forth a prompt and emphatic denial from the President, who took occasion at the same time to score the Rev. slanderer in a way that he will not soon forget The result of this was a public "apology" by the slanderer who regretted that on hear say evidence he had done such injus tice, but meanly closed his apology with the remark that "there were creditable witnesses on both sides." The President should be glad that this clerical slanderer not only gave him the opportu nity to thus publicly brand the slander, but also gave the press of the country an opportunity to con demn the meanness of the man and the act, and among them some which have never let an opportunity pass to attack the President, but on this occasion not only denounced tne calumniator but bore testimony to the utter absence of any foundation for the calumny, and to the irre proachable habits of the President as a public servant and a private cit izen. Conspicuous amonz these were the New York Sun (Demo crat), which always has its knife unsheathed for Mr. Cleveland, and the New York Commercial Advertiser (Republican), which is. never happier than when assailing him. Vindica tion from such sources is the highest tribute to merit. The Philadelphia Ledger is a Republican paper of the conservative order, which took ad vantage of the opportunity to stamp out this slander and show how little foundation there was for it thus: Presidents Lincoln and Grant were. during tbe entire term ot the official life of each, subjected to precisely such false and malevolent accusations, but we be lieve that no President other than Mr. Cleveland has been pursued bv the traducers into his own household, and his family, ss well as himself, made the victims of this form of cowardly malevo lence and gratuitous lying. The truth with tegard to President Cleveland, as it is known to those who know him most intimately in his pub lic and private, life, both abroad and at home is that he is an ex ceptionally temperate, or -. even abstemious man, both with reeard to what lie drinks and what he eats. MH Cleveland is not only a rigorously self respecting man, maintaining In all places and at all times the dignity of his great office, a fine sense of what is due to his own manhood, and a most chivalrous respect and honor for womanhood, bnt he is also a religions, a devout man, who zealously conforms his conduct to bis principles and beliefs. Any statement made by any one which in any manner or degree conflicts with this is abso lutely, maliciously false and . slanderous, the statement of Rev. Dr. Linainor be. ing especially so."- - It seems, according to Washington dispatches, that the U. S. Treasury omcials are still confused over the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax law, and' are in doubt as "to the " instructions to give to collectors. r One of the reasons given' for this perplexity is that the officials are hot: possession of "the lull text of the decision, and there fore do not know its full scope. They have an official red-tape way ot doing business in Washington, and per haps the Treasury officials are wait ing for the full text of the decision to come along in the -usual red-tape way," although it would seem that the decision as published on its de ii vet j -was - iuu enougn i to an swer all ' practical purposes. We are hotf surprised, : however, 'that the , Treasury : officials ' should ; be in 'a quandary as to the full "scope of that decision, which ,1s much more far-reaching- than appears T at first sight or than the Justices who ren- ucreu u may nave intended, in our opinion the- decisioo, while: appa rently affecting "only Government j State,' city -and county tonds, and rents from real estate, knocks the bottom out of the law by providing a way for its practical nullification. This decisiorf was'notthe end but the beginniflg of the Trouble over thelaw which wilt now be fought in the courts on a thousand and one pretexts that - ingenious and well posted lawyers will discover or. in-, vent. " CURRENT "COMMENT The Supreme Court has . per-, formed the traditional feat of driving a coach-and-six through the income tax law. There is very little left of its effective provisions, even in - its present condition, and there will be" less when the lawyers of the land have accepted what is practically the. invitation of the court to submit the undecided questions to a full bench. New York Times; Dem. ' It is pretty small business for a minister of the Gospel . to retaU scandals "concerning the personal habits of the President of the United" Sates. If Mr. Cleveland were the drunkard which the Rev. Mr. Lans-; ing declares him to be, the fact would have become known long ago.; The least charity on the par,t of the preacher would iave led him to be silent concerning offenses of which, in the nature of things, the public must have knowledge if true. iV".

The Express agent refused to give them up to the offi cers and his instructions from tbe Ex press authorities are to hold and notify tbe shipper. This morning J. C.

Clinton Democrat: Old man John Lucas,-who stabbed constable Rich in McDaniels some time ago, was sen tenced to six months imprisonment in jail at the February term of court. On account of his age and willingness to stay in jail the old man was made a trusty and allowed to go in and out at will during the day. and act as house keeper at the jail. Last Friday night he came ap missing, and nobody knew where he was at. The jailer was uneasy and wished he had not allowed him so ranch liberty. It was thought the old man had departed for good until Satur day afternoon, when he wandered back again and asked tbe jailor to turn him in. He said he had only been oat home to see his people and bad no intention of staying away any longer. His absence without leave has cost him his job. as housekeeper at the jail, and he is now locked up in a cell. SUPREME COURT OPINIONS.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind hearted man as well as a great novelist While he was consul at Liverpool a young Yankee walked into his office. The boy had left home to seek his for tune, but evidently had not found it yet although he had crossed the sea in search. Homesick, friendless, nearly penniless, he wanted a passage home. The clerk said that Mr. : Hawthorne obuld not be seen and intimated that the boy was not an American, but was trying to steal a passage. x Tbe boy stuck to his point, and the clerk at last went to the little room and said to Mr. Hawthorne: "Here's a boy who insists upon seeing' you. He says he's an American, but I know he isn't" . Hawthorne came out of the room and looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face of the boy. "Yon want a passage to America?" "Yes, sir." - "And yon say you're an American?" "Yes, sir." "From what part of America?" "United States, sir." 'What state?" "New Hampshire, sir.'" "Town?" "Exeter, sir." Hawthorne looked at him for a min ute before asking him the next question : "Who sold the best apples in your town?" "Skim milk Folsom, air," said the boy, with glistening eyes, as the old fa miliar byword brought up the dear old scenes of home. "It's all right, sir, " said Hawthorne, to the clerk.

Tower hill is perhaps both tbe most important em in en oe and the most nota ble spot in all the metropolis. Few of ns, as we pass it on a steamer or cross it on our route to the Ankwerkes Pack age, at the commencement of our au tumnal holiday, think what great per sons have quietly lived there, and what others, equally great have wept and died upon it To it or rather to Great Tower street, came Rochester to pursue his trade as an Italian fortune teller, while the bedizened Buckingham often walked thither in order to consult a conjurer, a shrewd, farseeing rogue, who, when Felton bought at the cutler's shop on the summit of the hill for a shilling the knife with which he killed the duke'B father, may have known for what purpose it was required. William Penn was born on this hill in a house close to London walL Forty four years later that is, in A. D. 1685 a poet lay dead, choked by a crust Which starvation had urged him to de vour-too greedily, in an upper room of the Bull tavern. This was the ill fated Otway. At the time when the son of tbe muses lay dead, Betterton, the celebrat ed founder of the stage after the resto ration, was wringing tears from the eyes of the public, not for the famished dead, but at his own fiotitious sorrows in "Venice Preserved." It was in Great Tower- street that Peter the Great used to pass his even-' Ings drinking hot pepper and brandy with his boon ' companion, Lord Car marthen. In the neighborhood of Little Tower street, which can scarcely be supposed to have been Inspiring, Thomson composed his "Summer. " In Grub street the supposed lurking place of many a mute, inglorious Milton, much hack literary work was effected, none of which has survived the touch of time's destroying hand. Gentleman's Magazine.. The Mere Mner Getter. There is not in the world a more ig noble character than the mere money, getting- American, insensible to every duty, regardless of every principle, bent only on amassing fortune and putting his fortune only to- the basest uses, whether these uses be to speculate in stocks and wreck railroads himself or to allow his son to lead a life of foolish and expensive idleness and gross de bauchery or to purchase some sooundrel of high social position, foreign or na tive, for his daughter. Such a man is only the more dangerous if he occasion ally does some deed like founding a college -or" endowing a church, which makes those good people who are also foolish forget his real iniquity. : .These men are equally careless of the workingmen, whom they oppress, and of 'the state, whose existence' they im peril. There are not vermany of them, but there is a very great number of men -wao approaon more or less closely to the type, and in so far as they do so ap proach they are curses to the country." The man who is content to let politics go from bad' to worse, jesting at the corruption of politicians; the man who is content to see the maladministration of .justice without an immediate and resolute effort to reform it, is shirking his duty and is preparing the way for infinite woe in the future. J " " Hard, brutal indtfferenoe to tbe right and an equally shortsightedness as to tbe inevitable results of corruption and injustice are baleful beyond measure, and yet they are characteristic of a great many Americans who consider themselves perfectly respectable' and who are considered thriving,1 prosperous men by their easy going fdlow eitizens.

During the tenth century Corsica was the prey of contending barons, who in their struggles for territory ravaged the island and despoiled tho people. At last in the ' first year of the eleventh century, the lord of the Cinar ca, to the northeast of Ajaocio, a baron more powerful than the rest, sought to make himself ruler of tbe island nnder the. title of count of Corsica. He had triumphed over his brother barons, but he had not reckoned with the democracy of tbe island. That long suffering body arose, and in one deci sive battle swept awaythe lord of the Cinarca and proclaimed that the land of Corsica belonged to the people of Cor sica.,. Sambuouccio and the island assembly founded in 1007 what is known as "La Terra di Commune" and gave it a pop ular constitution, which has ever since been held sacred. Under this constitu tion the f&ricftis hamlets of a valley were formed into a pieve, or parish, presided over by a podesta, or mayor, and two or more "communal fathers," who nominated a caporale, a, sort of tribune of the people. - The various podestas or mayors of different parishes assembled and elected a supreme council consisting of IS men.
