" " .50 inn i " . ., -rtiff v aim -- We-refrained from all comment upon the Inaugural Address of Pres ident Cleveland yesterday beoause we wished .to reflect and- to consider more carefully -the important decla ration of principles. -.The first words altered by an incoming - President are weighty and pregnant with; the' public weal or public woe 4 Hence his words are to be considered with care and fairness. '. The Address .as a composition is well done. The style , is nervous, lucid and direct. There are a num ber of sentences that formulate most impressive and important political truths truths that should be re membered and should 'constitute the watchwords of a great party coming into power again after the lapse of twenty-fou years. It will be well to heed the patriotic" injunctions of the ne President in such words as thee: ; -. --.-J; -j. J':? i; the best results in the operation of a gwemment wherein every - citizen has a share, largely dtpeods upon a proper limi tation of purely partisan -zeal a; d tffurt, and a correct appreciation of the time when i the heat of the partisan should demerged f in the patriot Uai of ihe citieen " - - ; ; . And again: ' - " "" "At till- U wr tie - aaimositiea "of poliiical.' strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat ol i hi exultation of partisan iriumpb, sliouid be supplanted by an on grudini acquiescence in the popular will, and a Hobr, concientious concern for . the geueral weil " . We are extremely gratified at - the truly patriotic utterances .-f the President as to a faithful adherence to the Constitution.'' It . is . a long time since any Chief Executive ex hibited in words ' such a cooapreheu sion of the importance of maintain: ins Constitutional methods and limi- lations. it 18 indeed a It m indeed a most au- spicioui 'uircii instance when we hear the new President so emphatically declaring: " In the difchirge of my official duty I .shall endeavor to be guided by a lust and uostraioed coast ruction of the constitution,' a cwref ul observance of the distinction be ,' twetn the powers granted to the Federal government and those reserved to the States,, or to the people, and by k cautious Appreciation of those functions which by the constitution and laws have been espe cially assigned to the Executive branch of the government." , Equally pertinent and impressive are his remarks as to the loyalty and fidelity of all citizens to the Consti tution of their countrv. - The duties of citizenship have rarely been more felicitously and tersely emphasized. Tliere are some noble sentiments that. should be blazoned upon banners,and, what is more iinportant,hould be expresHed in the constant action of the people. Hear the President of the United States: . . - "The constitution which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, . U , yours;!, the government, you have chosen him lo Administer for a time, is yours; the suf-. f rage, which executes the will of freemen, is jours; the laws and the entire scheme Of our civil ru'e, from the town: meeting to the State capital and the National ; capital, is yours. , Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant "Swatch and close scrutiny, of its public .servants, and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the peo ple's will impressed npon the whole frame wot k of our civic polity municipal. Stale and Federal; and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration of ; our faith in the Kepublic." ; President Cleveland insists upon ah economical administration of the Government.- His remarks on this head are most timely .and judicious! The drift is altogether the other way and has been since the 7 war ended. His opinion as to our foreign idtef course is in perfect agreement, with the policy of the pearlier Presidents.' wnat his views are abont a bi-me-talic currency can not be learned from the one sentence which i refers to the finances. He very' wisely insists that the public domain shall "be ' protected ' from purloining schemes and nnlawf ul occupation." He is for treating the Indians fairly, humanely, honestly, and favors their education and civilization. He thinks, and all good and virtuous citizens will agree with him,that polygamy should be suppressed. -' He aims-, a blow at the Chinese. He stands vhy( Civil Service reform, and intimates that he will enforce it This does 'not! show whether he wjll retain competent Re publicans in office or. not, . but the general terms be employs would sug gest at least that those who come under its meaning, said to '.be some 15,0(Jo in number, will J not: be-dis- turbed when they are attentive to business and capable. Ini fact; he almost says that a party teat will not VOL. XVI. be applied in any - direction, for he Those who worthily seek public em ployment have the right to insist that merit and eompetencv shall be recoeuized. ijutsod etf party tubaereience or the turrender of Honest poutieal belief . - - - , ( ; When be gave expression to these views there were ' no ; cheers among Democrats, as we are told. -: He deals wisely and' well , with the negroes. They are citizens; have been citizens for nearly twenty years, and it is too late to discuss it now. They are to le treated as citizens, to be impro ved, to have equal and exact' jus- tice, to have all the rights due to cit izenship, ! and along' with these they are charged "with all its duties, ob ligations and responsibilities.! Being citizens they are entitled to no spe cial legislation.'. That is about the meaning of it. : We have not referred to his views on the Tariff. We may not correct- apprehend f the meaning of his words.- ;Read in the light of the de cision of the Sopreme; Court in the Kansas case and the authority of the Constitution his words' are 'at least susceptible of two constructions and we shall be pleased if the . Randall men and the. Protection ; papers do -not receive some crambs of comfort from the phraseology employed. ' y Altogether it is a skilfully drawn locument, and if not as direct and emphatic as to '.some points as many .would desire it will please an over-. whelming majority of the people and will be deemed satisfactory upon the whole to the Democracy. : We now enter npon an era of good, just, honest, economical government, and we nope the new President will sustain' himself well in his great office and that the people will nphold his hands in all efforts to maintain on these shores a free, enlightened, progressive, constitutional Govern ment. - I '. TrHE 8TOCKLAW KILLED. . ; The House tabled the stock la w bill for New Hanover. '. This was unwise ly and unjustly done. Legislators ought to .be governed by a higher sense of right. Why should not the men who are to be burdened have an opportunity of saying if they desire continuance of 1 the burden ? Why should the House refuse to the far; mers-ot JNew rianover a-cnance at least of expressing their preferences ? If a majority of as the ' opposers the f ence'-builders, of the stock law claimed, ax against having a no fence law, how - is it thai they fight the bill and are afraid Q' give the fence-builders a chance to petition or vote ? The trath is a large majority of the, fence-builders desire a stock law and the negroes and whites who build no fences and run no farms know it, and that is why the opposi tion is so ' strong; to a test of . , the matter at the polls or by an expies- sion of a majority. The House ought to be above perpetrating a wrong npon an intelligent body of tax-payers as are the farmers of New Han over. THE NKW .VICE FBBSIDRNT. In the midst ot tne reioicings .we : - i . j . must not overlook the fact that for the first time in twenty-four years the Senate of the "United States is presided over by a Democrat, in the person of Hoh.1-Thomas lA. - Hend ricks of. Indiana. - He is jnot unfa miliar with Senatorial life, and has had the, experience of two terms in the House- of Representatives. He has also been Governor of his ; State. He is a man of pure life,unblemished honor and good abilities. H secured for himself the reputation of a safe, :well appointed legislator while in the .Congress, , and commanded the res pect and confidence of his fellow members. ' He is the most popular man in Indiana,' and his campaign in 1884 was most memorable for its ef fectiveness,' its earnestness and its success. He is not a negative man in any- particular, j A true Democrat, he - will stand r by his party and the great underlying n principles that - : give life and force -to it. Mr. . Hendricks is now some 64 years of age, and' is weir preserved. He is -a decided, earnest ! politician, who will not be a cypher even in the presiding officer's chair of the Senate If, under, a dispensation of Provi dence, it should fall- to his lot to be President he would administer the Government upon sound Democratic principles and would give satisfac tion to his party that honors him. ' Riddieberger is the worse riddled man that ever . hailed from; Peters burg or any other station. He is be ing pilloried for (objecting in the Sen ate . to the - confirmation of Cleve land's Cabinet. HThat Riddieberger is not a F. F V., unless it stands for fault-finding Virginian.

We stated in Tuesday's paper, that J. A.

On t Wednesday, a- gentleman, created somewhat of a sensation in a erewd on the wharf by offering to bet five hundred dol lars that in four months from the time that Cleveland ' took .bis seat half the business houses is, Wilmington., would be closed. This was thought to he a decidedly gloomy prediction in connection with the inaugu- ly as many had been of the opinion that; the event would be the -signal for an im provement in business. ' lit was not unl one of the "knowing ones" got to figuring on the proposition, and discovered that the anniversary of our , uatiohat Independence came just four months from that date, that the crowd began to admit that the bet might be a safe one after alL Host of. our business houses are usually closed on the 4th of July. , - - - North Car oil aa Phosphate Company A company, made op principally of Ra- Jeigh capitalists, have purchased from Dr. Thos.

The company is to be known as the North Carolina Phosphate Company, with headquarters ' at Raleigh.' The land all along the Northeast river is said to be full of phosphatic rocks, and it , is claimed that immense quantities of fertilizers will eventually be manufactured from it. - By the way, we understood that Messrs. G. Z. French & Brothers, of Rocky Point, are to ship in a few days a car load of their phosphatic lime to the North, parties there having ordered it, after, testing it on their farms last season.

'afternoon, shortly after- 8 o'clock, a heavy explosion shook the offices and other buildings about' the wharfs and created widespread alarm for a few mo ments, as no one knew what to make of it. Some thought the deadly dynamite had be gun its work itf- their midst. There were some,., however, who' were witnesses to the sad cause of the terrible concus sion and "Soon dt ' was - known that the steamer Wave, oa the line between this city and Fayetteviliej had -exploded her boiler and almost immediately thereafter sunk. ;"; She was lying otthe time of the ac cident near Mr. ArWfllard'8 wharf, on the west' side of the river, nearly opposite Messrs Worth Worth's wharf, and soon tugs, " yawls and other "small craft were taking exjhed crowds to the scene of the disaster. Crowds also lined the wharves and . eagerly awaited tidings , from the wreck, and as one and another of the boats would -return to this side of the river the persons on. board would, be quickly inter viewed. . - , .... First along it was reported that all hands on board had gone down with the boat, but later information places the loss of life at only - three.? They; were Neill Jeasup.. a stevedore; Jim Stedman, an employe; and Kitty Harvey, jthe cook all colored. The injured were Perry Cotton, pilot, and Dave McPberson, a deck hand both colored,; They were badly scaiaea; oota oi mem were taken to! the Marine Hospital. All the killed ' and wounded were residents of Fayetteville, except Cotton, who is said to live here at present. , ; n; ..r. ,; .i- Mr. J. D. L. Smith, 1' engineer of the boat.' says he had just come from the boiler, and was sitting in the engine room w hen the explosion occurred. He says there was plenty of water in the boiler and not too much steam,' the pressure . being only eighty pounds. He saw the three persons drown whose names j are given.' A boy named Turner had one of his' ears blown off, and received several, gashes about the head. : The flue of the boiler was found after the accident on top of a warehouse several hundred feet distant U i . ' The boat was taking 'on fertilizers and there were about four hundred and fifty bags on board, which all went down with the wreck. The bags had been wheeled across a flat to the boat, and at the time of the accident the flat was being loaded. Mr. J. G. s Wright, shipping clerk for Messrs. G. W. Williams & Co , was on the boat, and he and the engineer sprang on the flat Mr. Wright was slightly hurt Mr. Smith bad to feel his way out of the room, which was aoicklv filled with a dense smoke. . ' ' ' Part of the boiler in its upward flight struck the top-mast of the schooner Nettie Potter, lying close to the boat and broke it off. The smoke-stack was blown to atoms. The furniture went down with the boat. but a good deal of it was subsequently fished out . The boat went down in about one minute afteri the explosion. Several persons jumped into the river besides those that were drowned. I Mr. L. B. Love, assistant engineer, got jammed between the cabin of the boat and a schooner and made a narrow escape from beine carried down with the wreck. One of his hands was pretty badly bruised. At the time of the accident Capt Jeff. Robeson was on this side of the river, at tending to some business. The boat is a complete wreck, the hull. it Is thought, being broken in twain.' She was owned principally by Capts. W. A. and J. D. Robeson, but Mr. Smith, the en gineer, also' owned an interest in her. She was valued at from $3,000 to $10,000, and was insured . for $5,000. Much sympathy is felt among the many friends of the owners on account of their loss, and much regret is felt at the loss of life. Mr. Robert Sweet, of Mr. Willard's es tablishment, was on the boat at the time and was blown into the water, from which he was rescued, as he could not swim. The schooners Nellie Potter and Alice Hearwtere in the immediate vicinity of the boat and Capt Pennewell, of the for mer, says he was badly . shaken up. He rushed from the cabin as soon as be thought safety would admit of it and saw the three persons drown. jiTBliLaw la Monroe. ; We learn" through a private letter, from Mr." A. C.

Mr. Bayards name being ' first on the list, the consideration of all went Over un der the rules of the Senate for a day. ; i -,. i une of resident Uleverand s nrst acts. in connection with ' his official household. was his decision to retain O. L. Pruden as assistant to Private Secretary Lrarcrat Mt. Pruden was appointed by President r Grant as the bearer of rresidentlal communica tions to either House of Congress, and du-i rintrso many administrations he has be come a familiar figure to all who 'are con nected in any way with affairs at the Capi tol. - His retention is heartily commended by members of both parties. Washington, 4 Marcn o. 1 here were short Senatorial caucuses of both parties; after the adjournment of the session to-day, The Democrats enectea an organization by selecting Mr. iieck as chairman and Mr. Kenna as -secretary.' The'chairman was' authorized to appoint a committee of cine to arrange minority membership, of the committees., A resolution was adopted thanking Senators fendieton ana Jonas for their courtesy and efficiency In , the , dis charges of their duties as chairman and secretary,- respectively, of the Democratic CaUCUS. ' ' rr The Republicans are reticent about their Droceedinsrs. It is understood that some discussion took place regarding the liability of caucus secrets to become punnc and that organization of the committees was re ferred to preliminarily, but that action was remitted to" a future caucus to be called when the preferences of Senators shall have become setter Known. The White House presented a busy scene to-day. Streams of callers poured into the mansion from the hour the doors were -opened until late in the day. The Presi dent had an early breakfast and then com pleted the organization of his Uabmet and directed that their names be sent to the Senate at noon.' A number of erganiza tions visited the White House before noon and were received by the President in the east room; prominent among these were the Samuel J. Randall Club, Americus Club and Young Men's Democratic Club, allot Philadelphia; the Kings County Club, of Brooklyn, and a delegation from the County Democracy of ; New 'York.' The Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court, head ed by Chief Justice Waite. called about 12 o'clock and were received in the blue par lor. Members of the National Democratic committee were next received. Many other prominent persons called to pay then respects and kept the President engaged during me enure day. - No changes have as yet been made in the force employed at the White House. The President s mail was verv large. It consisted principally of letters of congratu lation. Many of them," however, related to appointments to office. - - " later in the day the Democratic Phalanx of Albany called on the President in a body. They were followed by detach ments of clubs from New York, New Jer sey, Maryland, Kansas, Missouri and else where. The President then gave notice that he would receive all who might choose to call between the hours of 2 and 4 o clock. and during lhat time thousands of strangers paid their respects to the Chief Magistrate. The President received them in kthe east room and shoos: hands with each of them The crowd filed past in single file, and owing to the immense number presenting themselves it was found necessary to diS' pense with the formality of an introduc tion. The President, however, recognized many acquaintances in the line, and greeted them by name. There was a large number of colored people among the visitors. The President was attended by Marshal McMi- chael and Col. Rockwell. He bore the try -; ing ordeal well, and greeted each person with a pleasant smile and a hearty grasp of the band. Most all of the visiting military and civic organizations which had not pre viously called in a body were well repre sented in the line. Gov. Pattison.of Penn sylvania, and staff were presented in a body. All the members of ex-f resident Arthurs Cabinet, with the exception of Secretaries Frelinghuysen and Teller, occupied their usual desks to-day and attended to all busi ness requiring action at their hands. Sec retary Frelinghuysen was detained at home by ill health and Senator Teller, whose resignation as Secretary of Jthe Interior was accepted yesterday, was at the capitol. Those on duty received many callers and took occasion during the day to take offi cial leave of bureau officers and other em ployes. . such exact ngures as are oouunaoie indi cate that all estimates, of the number of strangers- in Washington yesterday were much below the actual number. Figures furnished by the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroads show that these two roads alone brought from or through Balti more 105,000 persons yesterday. Add to this number those who have been flocking to the city for several days previous, over these roads,- and- from- the West over the Baltimore & Ohio., and over the Virginia roads and steamers on the Potomac river. and it is probable that from 200,000 te 250, 000 8trangers.we.re in the city yester Many thousands still remain here.

Thev-. beean-to arrive before the doors were opened ana connmuea coming in large numbers all, day, j The President received some of them in the library and others in the east room,' jUBt as it happened to be convenient. This arrangement kept him busy running up. and down stairs. The majority pf the callers consisted of delegations f rom different States. Among the- number were - delegations from the following States : : Virginia, f "head- ed by Representatives Barbour and Wise; West Virginia, headed by Senators Camden and Kenna: Iowa, headed by Rep resentative Pusey ; Missouri (two), one head ed by Representative .Bland and: we other by Representative Heard-, Alabama, with Representative Wheeler; .Michigan, , with Representative May bury ; Illinois, with Rep resentative Borineer: New York, with Rep resentative Hiscock: New Jersey, with Rep resentative Brewer; Louisiana, with Repre sentative Blauchard.
