But for all other callings the field is good enough: . j j" So much for a mete glance at the State and its opportunities. You must bear in mind that railroad building is extending, that education is advancing, that the average health of the State! is as good as any, that the climate as a whole is desirable, that the people are as good as the with workmen. He undertakes to show why Protection really oppresses I Dr. Hoge to-night? Do you propose down I best, that industries are multiplying, the laboring classes. A few men have grown very rich by manufac turing, but the farmers and two thirds of the laborers . are oppressed and unprotected and have: grown poorer.

He shows the evil effects of Protec tee to bar them out of car-shot of Christ. even in the streets ?' My friend turned to me with a little defiance in his eye: "Did you ever see a mixed religious meeting of negroes and Irish in Chicago?' I bad to answer no. 'The low down class of whites.' he said, 'would be the very last to acknowt ledge tne mannoou oi tne colored man. The thing would not be possible here.' And then be continued j on the aggressive: 'Do your great j preachers go j out find gather up the , Bohemians j and Poles-, the socialists and anarchists, tbo drunkeu and depraved, and preach to j them like that V I could not claim much on that score. i 'Well then.' he said. 'whenever your northern gentlemen have that the State has now nearly or quite 1,600,000 inhabitants, and will probably have 1,700,000 by the next census. We have noted what our young friend said to make a few remarks. First, we do not believe emigra tion is a9 great now from North Carolina as it was before the war.

He takes up pauperism in Great Britain. Iu 1849, there were 1,676,000, receiving aid. In 1881, when the population has nearly doubled, there were but 1,014,000. In 1851, there were in England but; 239,000 pupils in the Parliamentary schools; in 1881, there were 2,83, 000. In 1857, there were 429,000 depositors in eavings banks with de posits amounting to 13,719,000. In 1881, there were 4,140,000 depositors with $80,334,000 deposits.

J All thesa mechanics do jiot receive a cent of protection. I j j Bat has the Tariff really made the protected workman better off ? Let us 6ee. The writer in the New York jS&zrsays: . ' j - j ' ! "Nevertheless the statistics of Mmachu- SettS ShoW that Waees in the :nnnrntnfWl industries have increased at a more rapid rate than wages paid in the protected iudus tries.

I They dismissed the white preachers, withdrew from the white churches, and formed churches of their owl, and they did it of their own volition, and it is all right. As slaves they were members in all our churches. 'In the church where I was raised, they had one eide of it to themselves, and white people were not allowed to crowd them or drive thcniout, when the church was over-full. We want them to prosper, of course we do. and there are the kindest feeling, jand we help them all we can.' " It is really remarkable how anx ious the Northern preachers of all the churches are "to run" the South em religious denominations. They do not give the negroes any equal chance in the North even in religious i outers, as we I have shown often, rind as to the trades the colored man is in disfavor and heavily handi capped from the start. Ask any fairly intelligent colored mechanic In the South to day who has spent some portion of his time in the North, and he will tell you that colored, me chanics have a poor showing injthe North. They are exclusive in their Church operations and relations as any people in the world, but they are nxious to have all barriers broken ilova in the South and whites and negroes mingled in the same organi zations. The Chicago editor I re ceived a severe but courteous rebuke, and we copy it with much satisfac tion. LKaVIKG NORTH CAROLINA A gitted young friend, Kev.j M. A. Moore, in a communication initbe Christian Advodate, Statesville writes thus: "You talk about inducing immigration to North Carolina. I want you newspaper men to do something to stop emigration r.way from North Carolina.. These young men that are h-aving us every year, everv month, every week, are the ones that e want to develop our resource What can be done? It is not worth while to abuse the State and den uuce the people. Let Us go to work to open up fields for the em ployment of these our je maory. I would not exchange one of them for ten of j the 'immigrants' that are brought. Loyuu North Carolina as I do, bound to her hy a local attachment that I sometimes con template as foolish and absurd, this is a very painful thought to me." I uecentiy we have seen several such complaints in some of our State exchanges. The removal of young and promising men to other States is always to be regretted. An ordinary wnite laborer is worth in dollars good deal to a State. An educated. the building trades in Massachuaests is industrious and sober voune man is $12 54. in cottons it is $7.14, in woollens v,rtc, a . . i from $6.75 to $10 39" i l w-rta thousauds to a Common- When we add to thisj fact another Health- North Carolina is as good ooneideration we are the better able a atate to-live and toil in as any io answer ir.e inquiry propounded uccu w lue or juexico above. That consideration is, that and ave travelled over many South the Tariff has really increased khe ern States- We have seen no better see and Florida. We have been in connties m States south of us that were filled up with North Caro linians. We once visited a country church in Maury county, Tennessee, and it being) known that we were from North Carolina twenty peo pie at , least j came up to thake hands because they had removed from this State and were glad to see a stranger from their dear old home. Some told us that they would like to return although they had been away for twenty-five years. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and other portions of the South are filled with people who em-' igrated before the war. We believe it is a mistake to suppose as many people leave now as formerly. We have no idea that the percentage is half as much as it was. But, Second. If North Carolina can be said to be a good State from which to move, the same may be said of Virginia and New York and all New England. Those who have travelled much in the South know that wher ever you go you will find scores of Virginians and North Carolinians. They are all oyer the South, and are scattered through the North, even as far as New England. In almost eve ry Staie you will find leading men in all departments from Virginia, and many from our own State. Prior to the war at one time there were seven na tive North Carolinians in the United States Senate.! I Ttaw KoKn cancbt. A GUOW1XG InDLSTICY.

Fore & Fos ter Is one of the leading industries of Wilmington, and is an enterprise that the proprietors may well be proud of. It was incorporated Oct 1st, 1886. The company purchased the old Cape Fear .tobacco works building and grounds, for the purpose of dressing and manufacturing all kinds of wood work, such as sash, doors, blinds, mouldings, turned work of all de scriptions, flooring, ceiling,, wains coting, siding weather-boarding, &c, in connection with their manufact ured material. -The company, in a short time, met with such success in their undertaking that it was found necessary to increase their plant, and they have now in operation thirty-seven j of the latest improved wood working machines, and are still increasing their facilities as their thriving business demands. They constantly keep in stock, on their large and conveniently arranged yard, dimension sfuff, laths, shingles, &c, and can furnish all material nec essary In their ' line for erecting bouses complete at short notice, j The works manipulated from five to fifteen car-loads of pine lumber . each week, obtained from different points in the two Carolinas. The company has a railway train running frOm their yard which connects with all the railroads entering the city, and have besides good facilities for receiving and shipping by Witer. The Carolina pine is found to be especially adapted for factory work, but besides this the factory consumes large quantities of white pine, which comes from Michigan, and ash, cy press, walnut, poplar, ; cherry, red wood from California, and last but by no means least, our own "curly pine," from which they manu facture church and office furni ture, and in which they are said to excel every other wood working establishment! in the State. Increasing business has compelled the company to enlarge their al- published in the Stab of yesterday are looked up in the city prison, and will be brought before the Mayor this morning for examination. Their names are Abram Watson, Ephraim Hurst and George Brown. Watson was the first one - arrested. He was pointed out by young Boatwright in the crowd around the City Hall steps Monday evening. Watson denies that be had anything to do with the robbery, and said to the white boy: "What are you telling lies on me for?" "Isn't your name Abram Tn asked Swift. The boy said that it was, and Swift then explained' to the Mayor that one of the negroes holding him called out: "Abram, get the rope," and this negro brought it and wrap ped it around him, binding him to the brick pillar.! Young Boatwright said.further, that Watson had chang ed his dress since the assault was made; that at that time the prisoner wore knee-breeches. At the sugges tion of the Mayor an officer examined Watsons garments and found that he still had on the knee-breeches, but wore over them a pair of long pants. This seemed to complete the iden tification, for j Watson wilted and calling the Mayor aside told the lat ter that he (Watson) was present when the outrageous assault was com mitted but was standing outside the cellar. He gave the names of three boys who he said were the guilty parties. They were arrested, but one of them it was j found had4 nothing to do with the robbery. There is pretty good evidence that the others are guilty. j As stated yesterday these street gamins have been engaged for months past in stealing' coal. They belong to what is known as the "coal gang,": the members of which can often be seen with bags slung over their shoul ders picking up coal in the streets, and it is alleged, stealing whenever and wherever they have an oppor tunity. Besides the three negro boys named above, the police have arrested Foreign nteo. " Gnstave A. Jahn & Co., of 91 Wa street, New York, arsthe parties who are making large importations of rioe direct from Java with the purpose pf having It milled at Southern ports. It has been: the custom to make up the deficiency in. the United States supply of rioe by importing dressed rice from Europe, on which there is a duty of 2i cents a pound, j :This year the rice crop of this country Is 200, 000 barrels short. Messrs. Jahn & Co., instead of following the old cus tom, resolved to .Import ; Undressed rice direct from Jaya and mill it here. The duty on undressed rice is only H cents a pound, and the dif ference between that and the higher duty on dressed rice is sufficient to pay the expense of milling in this country. The profit is obtained from the lower price of rice in Java com pared witn tne price in jsurope. WASHIPWTOX. Decision or tits Court or Claims Trials and Tribulations of tbe National Opera Com pan r.

An outrageous assault and robbery, that for coolness and audacity sur passes anything of the ' kind ever heard of in this city, was perpetrated yesterday by three negro boys. The victim was Master Swift Boatwright, a boy of about twelve years of age, son of Mr. Hal Boatwright and a pu pil at Miss Hart's school, on Third street, not a hundred yards from po lice headquarters. Between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon Master Boat wright went into the cellar or base ment under the school-house, when negroes any one of whom was more than a match for the little lad seized him. One of them clapped his hand over the boy's mouth and another with a long rope, bound him fast to one of the brick pillars of the house, while the third took a hand kerchief from the boy's pocket, went into an adjoining lot and wet it thor oughly, and returning, tied it over the boy's mouth so as to gag him com pletely. The three negroes then emp tied his pockets, robbed him, and treated him with great indignity, even that of spitting in his face. The robbers then produced three sacks, which they filled with coal, and took their departure. Some twenty minutes after they had gone, another of the pupils of the school came into the basement and found the lad bound and gagged and re leased him. Efforts were at once made for the detection of the guilty parties. The negro boys had disguised themselves with paper bags worn over their faces, but in resisting their assault young Boatwright tore one of these away. He recognized the negro and later in the afternoon pointed the boy out to the police in the crowd that had gathered around the City Hall steps to hear the address of the Chief of Police to a colored fire com pany. The negro was arrested, and after being taken into the City Hall, admitted his complicity in the crime. Other arrests were made on suspi cion by the police .and altogether seven half-grown negroes were cap tured and locked np. They will probably be brought before the Mayor this morning, i, ! ' For the past two or three months the coal-house at Miss Hart's school has been robbed frequently, not only by night but in broad daylight, and it is estimated that altogether two or three cartloads have been stolen by these negro thieves, i i - The President and Party.

Lucke testified that the checks were post dated and given witn the under standing that the money would; be deposi itedtotneet them; but that the financial failuie of the Opera venture had made it impossible for him to make the necessary deposit.

There was not a first class negro school in the South that was not supported by ap propriations or funds derived from chari table sources. Even the Virginia Normal Institute, which had been set Up as an ex ception to tbe rule, had been aided by the State. Had the Indian become less help ful because of the education he received at Hampton ? Howard University was built . and supported by Government appropria tions. Bring the President of that institu tion before the committee and inquire of him if it had ever wrought anything like self-help among the negroes.! He would reply that if any place fitted the negro for the battle of life for political honors, that place was Howard University Before the war there were in the South no schools for poor white or black- children. The old master class had schools and ! colleges for the education of their sons add daughters, and no other could touch them. The poor white boys was reared iu the darkest igno rance; the black boy was a slave. In North Carolina, after the war, no posts were used as guide boards on the roads, because of the number of people who could not read the inscription on an ordinary mile poBt. Every dollar appropriated byj the govern ment to aid education gave an impulse to the State to do likewise. The Yirgima Normal Institute would never have been established by the State if the government had not aided the Hampton school. That was an answer to the argument that govern ment, aid to education would deprive the call special attention of the Chair men of County and Congres sional Executive Committees to the necessity of an immediate step to provide for the election of delegates to the National Conven tion from the different districts. If it shall seem impracticable to call conventions; to meet in some of the districts for this purpose, it is sug gested that the end may be effected by authorizing delegates to the State Convention ! from 6uch districts to meet in Raleigh on or about the 30th oi May in district conventions and elect delegates to represent the dis tricts at St. Louis. We have reason to know that our adversaries willl make desperate ef forts this year to restore the State to Radical rule with all its attendant evils. Let true men and good Dem ocrats attend the conventions of our party, resolved to present for the suf frages of the people men of char acter, integrity and recognized fitness for the offices to which they are nominated, and only sucb, and the continued supremacy of the white race, which is synonymous in North States of the inclination to aid the schools.
