Br WaXLIAnl B. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, Not. 13, 1896 PRINCIPLE OR SPOILS WHICH! It is announced that the Sound Money League of Chicago, com posed of Democrats who helped elect McK'tnley, will keep up its organi zation, which means that unless the silver Democrats surrender and climb up on or crawl down to the In dianapolis platform they, will con- - tinue to fight the Democratic party party and help elect Republican can didates, as they helped to elect Mc Kinley President and Tanner Gover- nortof Illinois. The so-called Sound ? Monev Leagues in other cities and Stated will doubtless do likewise. t. X ul .v v. u I ",cac I national organization and when the time for nominating candidates comes around again they will doubt less be prepared to put another brace of decoys in the field, unless they have concluded that a farce like that cau't be played more than once in a generation. This action is sup posed to be a response to the decla ration that the fight for bimetallism will not be abandoned. . Just after the Democratic gold or gans of the North had concluded their labors in behalf of McKinley they declared that the Democrats must get together and form around the nucleus that was left and get on the Indianapolis platform. A grand "nucleus," which succeeded with the aid of Republican votes in electing a single pair twin, curiosities out of 357 Congressmen. This is the nucleus reoresentinB a sliver of a party, nine tenths of whom deserted their own platform and went into the Republican camp, while the other tenth didn't make tracks enough in the sand to be traced by. If these bolters from the Democratic party had stoodloyally by the party as they would have expected the silver Democrats to stand by it if they had succeeded in dictating the platform, Wm. McKinley would not now be President-elect and Mark Hanna would not be the power be hind the throne. But they knew this when they were giving McKinley aid and comfort, and co operating with Hanna, for that is what they got to gether for. If the Democrats, who contended for the full recognition of silver held the spoils of office above principle they might be willing to listen to overtures to bring the party together on any platform that held out a hope of success, but if they hold principle above the spoils of office, they will listen to no proposition that con templates the abandonment of bi metallism, for having been made the issue that will remain the issue until it triumphs or until the party falls to pieces. In the language of Zebulon B. Vance, of revered and honored memory, "the Democratic party is immortal, and cannot die while the people are true to themselves." If the Democratic party were to surrender this issue it would surren der all, for tnat is all there is now practically to fight for. The Re publicans having broken, as they say, "the Solid South," have aban doned sectionalism, and there will be no talk of and no apprehension of election laws to control elections in the south, l he tariff will come up, but the Republicans have virtu ally abandoned the taritt tor pro tection's sake, by declaring for a tariff for revenue with incidental protection, which is substantially the principle on which the Wilson tariff was framed, the difference between them being that it gave too much pro tection to snit old-fashioned Demo crats and too little to suit the Re publicans, so that now the tariff as an issne between the parties is not so much a matter of principle as of the rates of taxation. Of course the Democratic party , will continue to contend for as low a fate as practicable, consider tag the needs of revenue . and will vigorously oppose every effort of the Republicans to unnecessarily increase those rates. . i here are other questions involving economy of administration, on which the par ties may (differ, but the distinctive, looming issue will continue to be the question of bimetallism which must be settled right, and will not ber quieted until it is settled. There is more in it than the mere coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 or any other ratio, for it provides for a continuous supply of money without continuous interference of Congress, and this is the only way the money monopoly held for the past twenty odd years by a compar atively smali number of men" can be broken, and the money of the coun try be made free to circulate as it should be. The Democratic party of . this country is as small to-day as It ever will be. It has just fought a grand fight against the most powerful com binations that were ever arrayed against any party, a'nd although de feated came out of the fight with as mpch spirit and determination to re sume the fight . . as any defeated party ever showed. It is In a better condition now to enter the field than it was the day it raised its bimetallic banner at Chicago. ;Its opponent must now assume the' responsibility of settling the financial question in some way satisfactory to the people, and if it fails to do that the Demo- cratic party which stood up for sil - silver in the great fight will furnish "a nucleus around which they can gather and sweep that party from power again as they swept it 1892 on a much less important issue, even if it be supported by the Democratic gold contingent that supported it in the late conflict. .THE AUDITOR'S REPORT. We are indebted to the Raleigh News and Observer for the follow ing summary of the State Auditor's forthcoming report, which is a mat ter of interest: -The forthcomiaz Auditor report will show the value of property in the State of North Carolina for 1895 to be t330.8Sl.181. as against $334,470,001 the vear previous, a decrease ol 13, CIS, 770. The real estate this year ia valued at 1153.885 584. as compared with 1158,- 088,064 tue year before, or a decrease or $4,252,480. Bat the personal property shows an increase in value of $633 710, the valuation this year being $77,025, 047. as asainst $78,891 837 in 1894. "There are 23.019,748 acres oi iana in the State, valued at $110,668,453. a df ft! lift (HA !. 104 hcn the land valuation was $115,081,823. Town lots show little change in value, being worth $43,167,181 in 1893, as agamtt 143 006.741 in 1894. The items of personal property and their value are as follows: 162,010 horses valued It $ 814 933; 116,770 muiesat $5.062 064: 860 jacks and i sa nies at $43,231; 42,510 goats at $31 63. 627.131 cattle at $4,423,893; 1257.885 hoes at $1,785 074; 856,857 sheep, $343 - 49S; farming utensils. $12.602 455; money on band and oa depasit, $4,135,801; sol vent credits, 118,979,001; stock in incor porated companies. $3,771,730, all other personal property. $19,582 703 "Tne unlisted tazaoies tuts year are $89,188 21. Last year they were only $55 454 27. This increase of $33,731 94 is due to the tax of $10 on lawyers, doc tors and dentins imposed by the last Legislature, from which $18,790 was realised; the tax of 60 cents on each bed ia every hotel and boarding house. which oaid into the treasury $2,568. and the corporation tax which paid $5,910. The rate of taxation fixed by the last Legislature was 2134" cents for the State, instead of 22 cents as heretofore, aud 18 cents tor schools, as against 16 cents be fore. This caused an increase of $o2,- 068 80 ia the school tax. acd an increase in county taxes of $373,137 80. "School taxes this year amounted to $847,578 57. as against $765,510 27 in 1894. and are divided as follows: white poll . 255,996 20; colored polls. $112. 019 61; bank and building and loan stock. $6,799 86; railroad property, $45 - 184 37; general property (white), $4ua 829 65; general property (colored) $14, 748 88.

Before leaving New York this week, where he spent several days closing up the affairs of his commit tee Chairman Hanna was enter tained at luncheon by Isaac H. Se- ligmanVone of New York's big bank ers, and a member, we think, of the bond syndicate. There were thirty or forty prominent persons iuvited. . It - - iT was an informal affair, but several speeches were made, one by Mr. Se- ligman in which he emphasized the importance of joint action in the future by the so called "national Democrats" and Republicans in settling- the currency question. The press dispatch informs us that in re sponse: "Mr. Hanna spoke at some length and said that the administration recently chosen would go into office without p'edges of any kind, and wholly uncom mitted as regards the formation ot tne Cabinet. This statement was greeted with applause. Mr Hanna also spoke on the general character of the work done by both political organizations in the recent campaign and said tnat Doth the Republicans and National Demo crats would preserve their organization intact to further the ' good work so auspiciously begun. He hoped this or ganization would be enabled to enlist all good citizens in the work still to be done to bring -about a thoroughly good condi tion of business. . We judge from this that as there was a pretty good understanding be tween Mr. Hanna and the managers of the "National Democracy" during the campaign the understanding will continue and that they will be found pulling together, unless Mr. McKin- ley's administration may lean too far towards silver to suit the boss gold Democrats. But the query here suggests itself, anent the talk of re organizing the Democratic party on the Indianapolis platform, where is the use of that if they, and the Re publicans are to pull together ? Why not let Hanna manage the whole business as he did Jn the past cam paign? - Some of the so-called Democratic gold organs in the North are ag grieved because some of the Repub lican organs are disposed to under value the assistance the " sound money" contingent rendered McKin ley and show no inclinatidn to" be thankfnl for it. Among them is the Philadelphia Record, which thus pro tests : I . ' "Br assuming that the Republicans in the butes which have given majorities for McKinley '.would vote this year on the money question as they did in 1804. when the money question was.not in is sue, the New York Tribune proves, ap parently to' its own satisfaction, that while Mr. McKinley should feel highly complimented oy the votes given to him or kept away from Bryan by Sound Money Democrats, he is under no spe ¬ cial obligations for their help, as he would have been elected without it. This way of putting the thing is, however, more clever than clear.. If the Tribune, should take the trouble to consult some of the gentlemen who were the active man agers ot its ' party ia the recent cam paign it would Had tnat there was a heavy percentage of Republican voters in the McKinley States who were con verts to Silverism."! This default- was made good by Dembcrats who Troted directly for McKinley m order to defeat free silver Coinage, and consequent re pudiation. It is rough on the gentlemen who marched under the McKinley banner to find themselves thus Ignored after the victory is won, but still it is nothing -. more than was to be ex pected and nothing more than the miserable treachery of putting rip a decoy ticket to deceive Democrats who would not vote for McKinley deserves.

Washington Post, Ind. - More tariff taxation is one of the first promises of the new admin istration. Comfort yourself with "the purchasing- pawer ot the dol lar," whether you ever get the dollar or not. Indianapolis Sentinel, JJem The leading Republican or gans, it is intetesung to note, are now solemnly calling upon the 'sound money" Democrats in the Senate to help the Republicans to control that body and make Repub lican legislation easy and successful. The suggestion has the merit of simplicity. We shall see later how it will work. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. Comptroller Eckels approves of the dismissal of those Cxovern ment employes who supported the Democratic ticket. Coming from a man who draws an official salary and spends the major portion of bis time going about the country reviling the voters who made bis season of office holding possible, this is decidedly re freshing. New York Jonrnal, Dent, There might be more respect for the lodianapolitans if they bad stuck to their own platform. But they didn't do this. The vast ma jority of them, after deserting the Democratic party, deserted their own pretence of an organization, and voted with the Republicans. They deserted twice in a very brief period The acted the part, not only the traitor, but of the double traitor. Richmond Dispatch, Dent.

"Speaking about chimneys, they are not very old when you think of other things," building contractor remarked, breaking Into a description of a new building. "They were not In use In England before the twelfth century. In early times, you know, people allowed the smoke to escape through ventilators, aa we would call them, in the roofs, just as Indians allow smoke to escape through holes at the tops of tents. According to the custom then, the braziers were placed In the center of the hall so that the smoke and fumes oould rise. In some of the chambers of castles that were built may be seen fireplaces, but no ohlmneys. The fireplaces have semicir cular backs and semloiroular arches over the openings. Where they project a little distance from the wall the flues run up the walls a few feet and then outward.. The outer openings are small oblong holes. It must have been a queer sight to see smoke coming out of the side of a oastle all the time. How they managed to create a draft is more than I know. I wonder whether "the dwellers in fiats would growl mere If we made fireplaoes that way. "The rooms most have been smoky. because In the next century tho people tried to get rid of the smoke by extending the flues up to the tops of the walls. In the fourteeenth century the ohlmneys were usually very short. Later they were circu lar and of great height. Perhaps when some of the tops were blown off the people discovered that the draft was sufficient with them lower. In the oourse of time builders ohanged the forms of chimneys and gave tbem some ornamentation. The short chimneys were terminated frequent ly by low pinnacles, with outlets for the escape of smoke. Tall chimneys were square, octagonal or circular and were surmounted by cornices, forming capitals. the smoke Issuing from the tops. Toward the close of the fifteenth century clustered chimney shafts appeared, it is said. Later they were more common and were fre quently highly ornamented. "By using terra ootta in connection with brick nowadays it is possible for an archi tect to get rid of some of the ugliness of a chimney and make it a part of the orna mentation of a roof. The time may oome when houses can be heated cheaply by the use of electricity. Then we can go back to the old style of not having chimneys except at the stations where the current may be generated, but we'll miss the open fireplaces." Mew York Times. RACE CHARACTERISTICS. Legend of tho Broken Devil and Its Influ ence Upon Mankind. xne persontnea devil baa had many queer stories told regarding himself and his doings, but It Is doubtful If there Is a more curious one than that known to the gleaners of mediaeval folklore as the "Leg end of the Broken Devil." Aooording to the story,' which is given In Einsey's "Book of European Myths" and also in 01eson's"Skandlnavian Folklore," when the devil was cast out of heaven be struok the earth at a place In the Swiss Alps which to this day bears the name of Dev il's Light. Judging from the broken place in tne mountain, which is about one-half mile wide by four miles long, the fall was not only "far and swift," but thadevU was a pretty good size. The indentation. In the mountain is not the only result of the fall (or rather of the "light"), If we ore to believe the legend. According to the story the poor uevll was broken Into four differ ent pieous, and each of those four pieces rolled off in a different direction. The "head, horns and horrid bloodshot eyes rolled off Into savage country, whloh in later times was named Spain. The heart. which "slowly pulsated for years and at eaoh rise and fall gushed torrents of bine black blood," lodged in a mountain gorge in a country which has since been named Italy. The stomach, "horrid machine for grinding infanta' bones and generating sulphurous flumes which were from- time to time belched out between the fanglike teeth," found lodgment in Germany, and the feet, "which never yet had . trodden the horrid paths of bell, but were oloven for such awful purposes," did not stop after the break until they reached the oen- terof France. .. ' , The people of those four different ooun tries Immediately began to worship the parts of the devil whloh had alighted in their respective territory, and alnoe that day tne bpaniards nave been haughty, the Italians amorous, the Germans gluttons and the French great danoera, St. Louis Kepnblio.

A BALLOON RIDE. There was to be a balloon ascension on the common in Poppleton. Tommy Hay den had made friends with tbe aeronaut and had got permission to make the ascent with him. ' It was 8 o'clock, and the crowd were be ginning to he Impatient, when all at once the aeronaut oame and whispered In Tom- my's ear: v "Well, what do you think nowf Do yu want to got" - - Tommy answered "Yes" as decidedly as before, and almost before he could realize his good fortune he was in the oar of the balloon, and the man standing beside him had given the word to the attendants, and they were sailing np through the air with a velocity that almost took away his breath. Then the balloon sailed away from Pop pleton, or rather from the Poppleton skies, for It seemed to Tommy that they had got as high up Into the sky as anybody ever did, and he had begun to wonder If he wasn't going to heaven like Enoch, whom he had read about In his Sabbath school lesson, but soon found they were floating over toward Oldport. Then directly they were sailing over the ships In Oldport harbor, straight toward the ocean. And Tommy began to be a little alarmed. ' "I think we have been far enough. I think we should go back now," he said anxiously. "Go back I" cried the aeronaut, who seemed to be enjoying himself very much, his black eyes glowing and his thin cheeks flushed. "Why, we haven't fairly begun our journey yet. My dear boy, do you know where we are going? " And he whis pered as mysteriously as if there were somebody near to hear. "We are going to accomplish the most wonderful feat the world has ever witnessed 1 We are going directly across the Atlantic! We shall land at Liverpool in two days I Think ol itt I thought of going to the moon at first, but after you decided to acoompany me I changed my mind, thinking it would bo pleasanter for you to visit Europe, for I have made one journey to the moon, and it is not by any means so fine a place as it is supposed to be cold and disagreeable, my boy. ' And he shrugged his shoulders and wrapped his coat still more closely around him. Tommy looked at him in astonishment, which soon changed to terror as he began to realize that he must be Insane. But if he were so why had no one discovered it? "I don't want to go to Europe. I would much rather go back to Poppleton," said Tommy, trying to speak coolly, though his voice shook with fear. " Go back to Poppleton, you little coward ! You are afraid," said the aeronaut, looking .eagerly at Tommy, whose great blue eyee were beginning to fill with tears. "No, no. I al-ain'tP' sobbed Tommy. "But I've rode long enough. " "What a fool you are!" said the man. "This is glorious, glorious!" And out went another bag of sand and np went the balloon higher still into the air, until now the vessels looked like nothing more than files crawling over the bay. But just at that moment, as by a mira cle, Tommy thought, the wind veered and wafted them toward the shore of the bay in an opposite direction from Poppleton, to be sure; but merely to have land Instead of that dreadful water under him would be happiness, Tommy thought. But the madman there could be no doubt that he was such took alarm at once. He conceived the idea that enemies were waiting for him on the shore and he declared that he preferred to drop down into the water rather than fall Into their hands, and to Tommy's terror he pulled a string that hung near his hand and the balloon began to descend with frightful rapidity. They oould hear 'the shouts of the sailors on the vessels. Tommy held his breath, awaiting the end, when all at once a thought? struck him, and acting upon it instantly he threw one of the re maining bags of sand out of the car. An other followed it before the aeronaut could stay his hand, and the balloon rose again, still drifting toward the shore. Before the maniac, astonished at Tommy's boldness, had presence of mind enough to pull the string again, they hung over the edge of the land, which had never looked so Invit ing to Tommy's eyes before. Then he pulled the string, but more forcibly than he meant He felt as If the wind was rushing In upon him and he was stationary. There was a great rushing noise In his ears, and then he felt a shock, as if heaven and earth had crushed togeth er. And then all was a blank. ' It was a long time before he came back to consciousness, and then his mother's face, 'which he had never expected to see again, was bending over him. : His first feeling was surprise and thankfulness to find himself alive, and the next anxiety to learn tho fate of his companion. And when he heard how narrow his escape had been, you may be sure his hair stood up straighter and his blue eyes grew rounder than ever before. The balloon caught in a tree, and that was all that saved them both from being dashed to pieces. The town where they made their hasty descent was not far from Oldport, and one of the crowd which collected Immediately recog nizing Tommy his parents were at once sent for. The poor crazy aeronaut was more seriously injured than Tommy and was carried to a hospital by the friends who had really been In search of him and whom he had fancied his, enemies. He was insane only at Intervals, and while In Poppleton arranging for his balloon ascen sion no one had noticed anything strange in his manner. Need I tell- you that it was Tommy's last as well as his first ride in a balloon? Jtew York News.' Oar Primary Education. i One cannot have had any experience of the instruction of European boys and girls without being conscious of the radical con trast between the spirit of the elementary schoolroom abroad and In this country. There is among the little people abroad a peculiar sort of application of which among American children you will find not the smallest trace. It is not a question of in dustry. The juvenile American is as will ing to learn and as quick about it as any other. It is a matter of mental attitude. The sohoolroom where European children acquire the rudiments of education is, In some unanalysable way, a quieter, remoter spot one more shut off from the distrac tions that come from without, and notably more serious. Learning may look to the youthful minds within those walls to be a dull thing, but it is certain, without their being aware of it, to seem a dignified thing. ! And the routine has a repose that gradually acts upon the juvenile scholar Until it shapes him to this application to a mood of pa tient attentiveness and a sort of ruminat ing receptivity that, so far as ultimate fruitfulness is concerned, may in every In stance be saf ely preferred, to all the pre cocious personal "brightness" and "alert ness" In the world. -Scribner's.
