GREAT CHANGES AHEAD.
The British landlords are about
united in , their opposition to Irish
Home Rule. If the approaching
election should result in a triumph of
the Gladstone party it will eventuate
not only in giving local self-govern
ment to Ireland, but h will be the
beginning of a series of events that
will end in the abolition of the House
of Lords. For a long time that body
has tieen losing ground in the aflec-
tions'of the British middle and lower
clasps. Democratic ideas have so
permeated . society ; - and have so
influenced British thinking that
the 'people have become each year
less ami less attached to a nobility
with their many and great privileges
On the Bt her hand the great landlords
have so borne themselves as to lessen
the bonds of sympathy and attachment
Let ween them and the people. Their
efforts in the Honse of Lords from
tune to time to thwart thejegislation
of the great law making and repre
sentative body of the people the
Commons- havts only served to in

British writers, of ability arid obser
vation, li.tv- not. failed to see that
ahead tu-r? are- gr-at" changes, and
that British Aristitcraey Is doomed.
Some are confidently predicting that
the House of Lords ? must go. The
Philadelphia American says of the
important results hanging upon the
pending election:

definitely mark the beginning of an era of
great social and political change in the Bri-

of archaeology; and the decade more than
two centuries ago when . the English Re
publicans thought a Commonwealth prac
ticable will be reproduced under circum
stances vastly more favorable to success.
On the other hand, suppose that democracy,
deserted by men like John Bright, finds it
self beaten, what then ?
When Bright tarns his back npon
his life record and tries to support
the tottering cause of the nobility he
will find himself deserted by the very
classes he has deceived and who stood
by him in all of the straggles of the
past. Bright is not a Samson. He
may seize the pillars 'and try to drag
lown'to death the crreat Gladstone,

VOL; XVII.
CONCERNING SALARIES.
Riddleberger wishes the Congress
men to take some of the physic they
are commending to others. He pro
poses to reduce the salaries of all the
high officials, beginning with: Ihe
President and .! including) members of
Congress. The Congressmen wish'
to reduce the salaries of clerks who
starve m Washington? on $1,200
salaries. The - Virginian is on ihe
right tack, and it is I about the first
time in his Senatorial history. If the
small clerkships are to be cut down
by all means razee the! pay of the men
who live in elover board at the fine
hotels, wear purple and fine linen,and
like Jeshurnn are waxed fat.. It is,a
sheer piece of demagogism to begin
economy by catting "off the short
supplies' f -nnd"er-8trapper8. : If ri-
trenchment of salaries mast go on,
then go to work at theright place.
Let plethoric officials catch it, and
not the lean andi hangryj. '
There is- a j great deal of arrant
humbuggery in political That sort
of i economy i which permits one j to
poor in at the bang hole while rpn
ning oat at the spiggot cannot be Ire-
deemed from contempt and suspicion.
The right place for economy is in
appropriatiomj The Congress votes
away tens of millions annually that
ought to be saved ' to! tho people and
the money kept in their pockets. The
expenditures of 58000,000 , people
are more than four times greater than
were the expenditures of 38.000,000
people. Why this.? Simply because
the war demoralized the couhtry and
members of Congress have not re
covered from I the sadj effects. If
rigid economy the economy of the
Nathaniel Macons prevailed now
there would be from j fifty to one
hundred million dollars i saved to the
country every i year. Let Congress
men watch their appropriations and
not attempt to stop a! leak of millions
by robbing small salaried clerks f of
a few hundreds. I This is the penny
wise and pound foolish System. I
A few words as to! salaries. , It is
well known that all legislative bodies
waste a great deal of : time. A Leg
islature, for instance, wil
literally from fifteen tol
1 fool away
thirty thou
sand dollars every session in windy
rhetoric and buncombe iflourishes, in
needless and criminal delay.
this goes ! for nothing and be
cause legislators do itJ But these
very Solbns i. ., will j higgle i -. over
an apppropriation of a few thou-
sand dollars that would do great good
to two i hundred i orj three hundred
orphan children and make them use
ful for life. The policjy advocated
by the Star, through j.he years is
this: let the! public officials in every
department! practice a rigid economy
as is their bounden duty, for it lis
not their money which they are ex
pending, but s the money of toiling
tax payers, i rbey are merely stew
ards and custodians, and honesty and
fidelity require that they should be
scrupulous ana careiui in auexpenai-
tures.. Public charities Should not be
stinted. Public officia
s should be
paid fair salaries,
No
man should
be expected to serve the! State with
out proper,! sufficient remuneration
No man goes, to war at his own
charges, is the teaching of 'St. Paul.
The Governor of j North Carolina
ought to ' have salary enough to be
able to live well, to entertain corn-
pan v. and to bear himself at all times
in a manner equal to his high office.
The people of North jCarolina are
liberal and appreciative enough to
give their Chief Executive pay suffi
cient to allow him to live like a-gen
tleman and not hide himself in a pri
vate boarding house or i hotel. And
so with other salaries, it is doubtful
if the Supreme Court J udges are paid
enough. It is fair and right that the
Superior Court Judgesi should have
their travelling expenses paid. Their
salaries are not large, and the State
ought to pay the costj when they
are sent j over i a I large- territory
to try j causes. Legislators have
their travelling expenses paid. Thp
Stab does not I favor j any extrav
agance in salaries. It jbelieves tbajt
a faithful public servant ought tp
be as well paid for Jhis work as
he would be paid . for it by the
people direct if working on his own
account J In other, words, a man ca-
pable of filling well the; very impoir
tant office of Chief. Justice ought
not to be expected to give up a id
crative private business; to serve the
people for a comparatively insufficient
salary, f i Th6 salaries ought not to be
so low that the very best talent and
the very best men cannot afford to
take office, fin saying this we mean
in no sense to favor- extravagance,
nor on the other handr to justify
mean and stingy system of salaries,
Get the best talent possible, get the
best learning, get honest and pure
and sober men to fill ofiices of public
trust and pay them .well for the work
and the responsioiiiiy. i
It is claimed thai the first fiscal
year of Cleveland's Administration
shows a redaction of the public debt
of $96,000,000.-; If true it is good.
Arthur's last year - showed a reduc
tion of only $68,000,000.
FOREIGN BORN POPULATION.
The last census shows that there
were in the United States 6,679,943
people of foreign birth. It is now
estimated that there, are nearly 9,-
000,000 in this country. The total
population is estimated at 59,000,000,
leaving 50,000,000 of native born
population. The noting population
is about 17,000,000. Less than one-
sixth of the voters were born abroad.
According to the census of 1880,
there were. less than 3,000 persons in
North Carolina of foreign birth. So
nearly all of the voters in this State
are natives. The probability ia that
in 1890, there will not be much more,
if any, than 5,000 foreign born pop
ulation the entire State. "
Sincejwriting the above we have
sought the census -reports and 'find
that there were 3,742 foreign born in
North Carolina in 1880. Some weeks
ago, trusting- to memory, we said
there' were lesB 1,500. North Caro
lina had less than any other State.
South Carolinawas next, with 7,686
inhabitants of foreign . birth, Vir
ginia had 14,696. The nationalities
in these three States were distributed
as follows:
'Virginia. Germans. 3.759: British.
3.815; Irish, 4.835. .
"North Carolina. British, 1.16b.
"South Carolina. Germans,
2,816;
British, 1,028; Irish. 2,626."
Thers were not 1,000 each of Ger
mans or Irish in this State. In the
Union there are 1,966,742 Germans,
1,854,571 Irish, 917,598 British,
717,157 British . Americans, 440,262
Scandinavians, 106,971 French, 104,
468 Chinese, 88,621 Swiss, 85,361
Bohemians, 68,399 Mexicans, 58,060
Dutch, 48,557 Poles, 44,230 Italians,
38,663 Anstrians, 35,722 Russians.
There are many other nationalities
represented bat in smaller numbers.
The Scotland Neck Democrat, edi
ted by ex Representative Kitchin', is
staunchly Democratic. There is
nothing of the milk and water about
it. The editor never occupies a front
seat on a fence. Long ago he got on
the Democratic side and there he
sticks like a man. He knows what
Democratic principles are. He says
pertinently:
"Whenever the Democratic party says in
convention that it endorses the retention of
seventy-five thousand Republicans in of
fice under a Democratic Administration to
the exclusion of that number of Demo
crats, it will be a cold day for the party in
this Btate.
The leading Republican papers do
not favor the Randall dodge al
though they admit that it is intended
to help Protection. The able Chi
cago Inter- Ocean, as implacable and
nncomprismg Republican organ as
there is in the whole country, says:
"The fundamental provision is the aboli
tion of the tobacco tax and the lax on fruit
wines and brandies. By this stroke of
policy it is hoped to win favor with Vir
ginia and Kentucky, also with California.
The removal of these taxes would result in
the surrender of about $30,000,000 of taxes
annually. In a general way the repeal of
internal revenue taxes tends to strengthen
the impost system
The Wilson Mirror praises highly
Dr. H. E. Shepherd's lectures before
the Normal School, and specially
commends his fine English.. We fear
willing evidence to the excellence of
his written and spoken English. The
Mirror also commends Prof. Hassell's
lecture on the "Harmony of Science
and Nature." He is a man of intel
lect and of scholarship.

ocrats in the City Council in Rich

Rain and tbe Crops.
Farmers and truckers are getting appre
hensive of serious results to their crops by
tbe long-continued and excessive rains.
The melon crop is said to have been already
greatly damaged Cotton is injured, and if
the wet weather continues the effect will be
decidedly disastrous to crops of all kinds.
Excessive rains seem to have been gen
eral throughout the South Atlantic States.
In Sooth Carolina, in the Pee Dee section,
considerable land which had been planted
in cotton and worked untilJunel, has been
abandoned. It is estimated there that on
the whole the cotton crop prospect is fully
25 per cent, behind what it. promised on
the 1st of July last year. Many farmers
have planted over their corn for the third
time, and it is feared that the third planting
will now be drowned out

Fire In Grain IOJ1I.
Shortly after nine o'clock last night an
alarm was given from Box 21, corner of
i root and Orange streets, for a fire discov
ered in the merchant mill belonging to Mr.
W. P. Oldham, on Dock street between
Pront and Water. The Fire Department,
with steamers, irucks and hose reels, was
on the ground in a few minutes after the
alarm was given and in a very short time
the fire was extinguished. It is not known
how it originated: but as it evidently began
in the neighborhood of the boiler, which is
situated in the rear of the mill, it is sup
posed to have been accidental. The place
was flooded wilh water. The amount of
damage could not be ascertained last night.
but it is supposed to have been fully cov
ered by the insurance, amounting to $3,000
on building, -stock and machinery, in
Messrs. Northop & Hodges agency. Mr.
Oldham had about two thousand bushels
of grain on band. Tbe mill had been run
ning all day, but closed down before dark.
THE OH SLOW MEETING.
Richxasds, N. C, June 29, 1886.
Mb. EpiTOii There appeared in the
Stab of the 26th inst. the following letter
from Mr. James B. Huggms to Dr. S. S,
Satchwell:
'I see in tbe Goldsboro Messenger of yes
terday's date the proceedings of a meeting
held in Jacksonville, Onslow county, in
hich it appears that a resolution was
passed instructing the delegates to the Ju
dicial convention. to vote tor juage tsy

'Dr. R. D. Ward, who was in that meet
ing, was here yesterday and stated to me
that not only was no such resolution
nassed. but that the delegates were in
structed to use their judgment in voting
for the Judgeship.
As I was secretary of the meeting re
ferred to, and wrote the proceedings for
publication, this letter does me great in-
iustice. I
in reply to inis: ur. uuggms couiu not
have seen in the proceedings lust such a
resolution as he mentions. For the resolu
tion as passed and published, while it did
not formally instruct, simply aeciarea tnai
the meeting believed Judge Boy kin to be the
county s choice. And Dr. Ward was entire
lv mistaken when he stated that "the dele
gates were instructed to use their judg
ment. For no instruction, other than the
resolution as published, was given by the
meeting, it was passed without a dissent

statements, I refer to Mr. A. J. Murrili,

Electric Llgbt Bags.
People about town arc astonished at the
number and variety of bugs that have
made their appearance since tbe streets
have been illuminated ! with the electric
light attracted, evidently, by the brilliant
glare of the lamps, around which jlhey flut
ter in ceaseless swaims all through tho
night. There are big bugs and little bugs,
beetles and olber insects; but the bug
that takes the cake and excites the greatest
wonder, is that "comm tly called" the
water wolf" the biggest of the big bugs,
and a stranger to most people until the ad
vent of the new light.- These water-wolves
are ugly flat things with large eyes and
broad wings, and fiy around the street
lamps like so many leather-winged bats,
Yesterday morning the globe on Ihe light
at the corner of Seventh and Campbell
streets was more than half full of these
bugs, while hundreds of them were scat
tered on the sidewalks in the vicinity; some
of them alive, but the larger, number dead
A kitten that ventured to play with one of
the live bugs was bitten on its lower lip,
and is said to have died shortly afterwards.
These water wolves . appeared in Raleigh
and Durham in great numbers when the
electric light was introduced at those
places, and specimens were sent to the ento
mologist of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington. The entomologist said
they were water-wolves bugs that lived in
ponds and streams, preying principally
upon small fish, and migrating during the
summer nights. Their bite was said to be
severe but hardly poisonous.. ' Yet the
North Carolina darkey says they are "elec
trie light bugs," and that theii bite is poi
sonous, and our Washington entomologist
had better make a note of the fact and file
it among the "archives of gravity." ,

- The denominations have usually
neglected two very important matters in
connection with education. They ought
to station their ablest ministers near State
Universities, -and, in their preparatory
schools they should drop the text-books
treating of cats and dogs and introduce ele
mentary books on morals, so that little
boys and girls may learn early the differ
ence between right and wrong. Generally
moral science comes too late in the college
course. ' Most boys leave before they reach
it Sometimes they form and fix their bad
habits before they learn any better. John
a. Mills In Kaleigti aecorder.
It is to be feared that too many
professors are spiritually selHah in their ha
bitual frames of mind. They are satisfied
with a religion that will prepare them for
death, but think too little of their responr
sibility as stewards of the mystery of faith.
It is, in fact, as solemn a thing to live as to
die, and the great business of a true disci
ple is to bear much fruit in his daily exist
ence. "00 shall ye be my disciples, are
the words of tbe Master. The problem,
then, is not so much how to die happily as
how to live usefully in ' the - kingdom of
Christ. For the great end of this kinddom
is not the happiness of an individual, but
the salvation of the world, and the glory of
God in its consummation. Richmond Ad
