Unt he nted not be narrow or selfish or ready with a shibboleth. r This was prepared for yesterday. Since then we have received the Lum- certon Aobesoman, that contains a long and well considered editorial on "The Religious and Secular Press, and the Courtesies and Convention alities of the Profession." It copies the whole of the excellent editorial jn the Presbyteriani and follows jit ujp 1 with nearly a column of its owfij jfi diciou8 reflections. It refers to tile fact of Church predilections add at tendance on the part! of editors who peccaoie and human like Otheir people. It says: , Added to their predilections, it often p&ppena that their associations are more for lees rtstneted to the members of that church, and it may be that they attend oitener the services of that church, utiliz ing 11 tire avenues of information with re Raid to the polity end progress of that church. J f 3 "Then, too prtitnra wKaoa VfinrtfJ mIi flections are notorious, occupy a very try j?K position: for, while other denomina tions may think that they give undue prom inenco to their own brai ch of the church, members of the same faith and order, often wonder why the church that is so near the heart of the editor should receive so i little PUOllC TPnntTTHnn af Vf U A T- Ull in - -vVAu.i,vu bv uio uauufl, iu an VI ncse matters We have uniformly tried jto maintain a conscience void of offence, and we think that, as a whole, the secular, press is more sinned against than sinning." j j u me case of the stab men' con.

H::: . i. , i There are said to be now published in the United i States not less eight nunared papers devoted to the tabor interests. JThero are hundreds of other papers that are friendly to the '"w"u8 wHes, would defend their rights and vindicate, their wrongs. They find much to approve of in the uiuieuieuui to elevate and improve the condition t 0f the toilers. 'And why not ? The ten's of thousands of men who labir day! and night in the uepper omoes ot, the country are to an intents and purposes laborers. i bey work for wages. .Their daily labor is their; living. Wiry nboold they not sympathize with the mil lions of men and women who are op pressed by merciless employers or ground down by unfriendly lecisla- tion? i":.-:. U .!. j There is a. large proportion of j the newspapers of the United States that is in actual sympathy with all 'pro per efforts to help . the i laboring classes. The men! who make! the money for others deserve and receive the support of the reflecting and fair dealing portion of the public.1 There is no doubt of this. It is only when bad men would substitute ; dangerous and violent methods for peaoef ul and j osV- methods; it is only when in judicious and ill informed advisers put in operation a policy that is un wise and hurtfnl, ! as in the case of trying to establish social equality between the races, that friendly journals are driven -off; and silenced, or they raise a protest. The wrongs of the laboring classed are real and should be recognised and treated as such. These wrongs should be redressed. It is unwise to bring in politics or parties or to reBort to doubtful means, like boycotting, to secure a correction of evils and relief from burdens that oppress. . It is well to organize and to pull together in securing such changes as may be deemed necessary, but this should be done without invading the rights of others, or resorting to violence and threats. We notice that the leading officers in the Knights of Labor have deter mined to make- war on all labor pa pers that fail to sustain them. This is unfortunate as only about twenty two of eight hundred are reported to have indorsed the nresent officials. Mr. Powderly is not bo wise as he was surely. 4 ' THE TRUE INTERESTS OP THE FABJIIERS. I he farmers of the country .must look after their own interests. All along they have allowed others to at tend to their matters or to neglect them. The Stab has again and again urged upon the farmers the necessity - of organizing,, of combining. The legislation of the country, or much of it, has been inimical to their interests. They have toiled and worried, but low prices, bad crops, and j high taxes have kept them poor. j.This is particularly the case with the South. Add to these causes for failure and distress the un wise way in which most have farmed it and you need not go far for the real cause of the great depression of the farmin? interests. The mort- gage system is ruinous because it forces the farmer to pay from 12 to perhaps 20 per cent, more for his sup plies than be could have bought them with the ready cash. Then a failure to raise home supplies such as bacon, bread and vegetables has added to his embarrassments and increased his despondency. j ; j Everybody knows this is a true bill. Only the organs of manufac turers and Protection fail to under stand it. How long shall all this continue? Are the North Carolina farmers determined to go on repeat ing the failures and follies. of the past? Will they persistently pursue the same unwise! and unremunera tiye course? Will they still neglect to organize' for united action? Money ought to j be cheaper nthe South. It can be got in the JNorth for 5 or 6 per cent if the leading . I o farmers of the country would unite and take the proper steps. Money in private bandsvin the North is not worth to-day more than 3 or 4 per -cent. If they could lend on good collateral to the Southern people at 5 or 6 per cent, they would gladly do so. Farm supplies bought at 5 or 6 per cent, interest would be the first step towards independence.! . . Be tween supplies at present prices and a mortgage at that, and supplies at cash rates there is a fortune for the industrious and economical farmer. . The Louisville J Courier-Journal has recently considered a phase of ,the "farmer's need" that it is well not tp overlook in this view. It is the failure of the farmers to look after his products after they are ready for market. '. They do not know the in6 and outs of traffic and commerce and what it costs them to realize proper returns for their ! products! The Courier-Journal says: "They spend all their work in produc- TTiriFX AY 7 tH qT" irV-rr ' fCX . : - ... . SpmtsTwpentme.; " - - r - "7 . - .-,., a v. xww . - .

They should work less in producing, and more in read ing, and disoussine the things which the law-making powers of the country are about. If - they should thus lose half a Tea-r crop of corn, wheat, tobacco, cotton, and the rest, they will make money by it, provided they thus learn what is the matter with the laws, and adopt sensible resolu tions to nee their irresistible power in cor recting the laws, abuses, frauds, and crimes upon them. . " i.:..- "vU:-- "The tariff and coinage laws are taking from them and transferring to other more favored classes about one-half the market value of their crops every year."" If they understood the effects of the War Tariff they would throttle it, : If they knew how it robbed them they would countenance no politician who favored it. They have the power and they do not use it. .They are robbed openly and every .day binder tb forms oriaw-and the are indifferent, heedless, ignorant. Well says our Louisville contem porary: ;; ;r: "What a shame and disgrace, therefore, if the farmers, with all this power in then hands, continue tn hn i-nhtwul t,.. of half the proceeds of their industry, and mi jo uiBUB me mere sens to tne extent of half their working timn far Mruin ' ledged classes. Nor 6houid the farmers be afraid Of Dnshinir 1hn Temcrtiea ruui cure the special ills of their class in the most radical and resolute menner." The proposed Convention at At lanta is the first step towards emanci pation. I If that meeting is governed by wisdom it can be the instrument of doing' very much good. It must look at economic questions from an enlightened standing-point and at the Bame time with reference to their own particular interests. Thft SrmtViorn ailiaa ova mrih Hi J vided as to the money and tariff ques tions. About half probably are ad vocates Of a gold standard and of a WarTariff. They are the friends of manufacturers and monopolists in this and not. of the great farming in terests. They will mislead you if you ignorantly- listen to their plausi ble arguments to show that the royal road to wealth is by heavy taxation. The Courier-Journal says: "If they should coronal the .rt.Un inilna tries to come down to the same bed-rock of production which they themselves oc cupy, it would be worth five hundred mil lions a year to the foreign trade of the na tion. If they should compel a return to the money standards and free mints of the Constitution, it would accomplish more than any other measure possible to human wisdom to distribute prosperity and the blessings I of industrial equity among ail classes of producers, whether in the shop or the field. ! . "To farmers, it has become an instant is sue between vigorous measures of self-de fense or a perpetual scheme of robbery and confiscation by the hand of their own Go vernment. If they neglect their self-defense, t.11 other classes will neglect it. It is therefore not ' a time for dalliance and dilly-dallying, but concerted action and in dividual effort are imminently necessary." Capt. W. P. Fowler, a prominent member of the Episcopal Church at Grenada, Miss., shot and killed Rev. C. P. Stiver the rector. A dispatch to the N. Y. World says: - I "When the young pastor was told that be was likely to die very soon he asked to have his : statement taken, and voluntarily told those present that Capt. Fowler was justified in shootinsr, and that it was bis wish that the Captain should not be pun ished. The rector atoned n ctjifprncni tn this effect, which was written out by a friend. Those present at the bedside of the wounded man were members of his church, and his explanation of the aggra vating cause that led Capt, Fowler to fire upon him is kent a nrofonnd secret, that the reputations of the parties concerned may not (suffer."

Wednesday last, says that the handsome cane presented to Mr. A F. Johnson was a testimonial from the citi zens of Clinton and not from the railroad authorities (as published in the Stab.) The correspondent adds: "It is conceded On all hands that the energy and business tact of Mr. Johnson secured the early com pletion of the road .

The delegations from this city to the railroad j celebration at Clinton returned home yesterday morning. One and all speak iu the highest terms of the hospita ble and cordial treatment received from the citizens of that charming litUe town. The trip was a most enjoyable one, only marred by the accident that befell Mr. James, one of the marshals. The Light Infantrv and the members of the Cornet Concert Club were especially well pleased at their recep tion and the attentions shown tbem by the members of tbe Clinton company and citi zens generally. The ball at night was a brilliant affair. The spacious ; hall was filled with a brave 'gathering of gallant young men and beauti f ul women, who kept up the dance till morning. : " Messrs. John A.

Persons Who knew the horse, saw the boy riding at a gallop on the bid Newbern road about five miles fiom town, and reported the fact to the owner.!! An officer was sent out' with a warrant for the arrest of Daniels, and found him a mile or two from the city. He had turned the horse loose, and later in the day it came back to the stable. . Daniels has been convicted of larceny at two terms of tbe Criminal Court, and on the last occasion, on account of his youth, was sentenced to the county jail with au thority to the county officials to hire him out for his term. Under this arrangement he had been hired to Mr. Elder, the jailor. .The Wounded nan at Clinton. A telegram received from Clinton last night bays that Mr. James, the young man so severely wounded in the accident at the celebration on Wednesday last, is improv ing and his physicians say that the pros pects of his recovery are very good. FROM BRUNSWICK. : -if Wihhabow, April 29, 1887. Editob Stab: We have bad a Very late and cold spring The outlook for crops at present is very poor. Corn planted early had to be replanted and 'in some . in stances replanted twice. It seems that the farmers are: having an up-hill business financially. ; All are worse off than at any time since the war. Many have not the means with which to make a full crop and the merchants charge such high prices for supplies that those who are in debt can never get out by making cotton, and a mer chant, will not advance on anything but cotton. The consequence will be that in a few more years the farming interest will be so low country people will have nothing, and : when the merchants close out the mortgages they will have the lands and no body to work them. When the country people fail to make supplies where will tbe town people get anything to live ont They will have the lands and money, but nothing to eat. The all-cotton .is the trouble, and unless there is a change from all-otton to supplies raised at home, as sure as night follows the day, tbe entire South will be come bankrupt. . Bbcxswick. FOREIGN.

Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, declined on behalf of tbe Government to accept the change. Sir William Kernan Harcourt said it was evident that the bill was no" intended to punish ctime in Ire land, but was designed for applying penal ties by resident magistrates to new offences created-by the bill.
