These concern us at present more im mediately than partisan politics. Tlicst our press may wisely postpone to the in evitable excitements of future campaigns touchim; only upon the principal topics ol polities incidentally so as to keep pub lie thought and sentiment in sound and proicr channels. Industrial questions more immediately concern our jicople And these really arc the funiMnientai questions involved in polities; for to flu proKT and profitable conduct of these, the attention of wise, statesmanlike poli ties is directed Politics is so associated in popular thought with iiersonality and party, that men are apt to look no far tiler, and dismiss the subject as only tin means to certain not altogether laudnblt ends. Legitimate polities takes deepei and profounder views, wider and mort cxpansiveresearch.nndcngngcs its liettet thoughts in the consideration of those objects upon which private prosperity and public weal depend. We are glad tosecthatoureontempora riesin this State arc passing the time and employing the lull in the political tur moil in discussing and givinjj publicity to all the present moves in industrial life Among these are the progress arc manu facturers, the development of mines, the extension of railroads wc are sorry not to be able to add, the improvements in dirt roads anil the numerous enterprises of new birth among a people hitherto singularly regardless of the many iktu liar advantages of soil, climate and pro ductions they possess. This is the real road to independence, the only right wax to accumulate and grow rich out of la bors w hich have so long enriched others, and kept the noses of the laborious and unwise producers continually at tin grindstone. New lingland, because of its indefatigable industry, its sagacity, its ingenuity, its thrift, its economy, has long been rich enough to have been tin shatter of the commercial policy of the government, the dictator in the money , market, the regulator of supply, and more nominating tuan all to us, to laugh at our stupidity in consenting without effort to throw otf the yoke, t lie tlic humble hewer ol wood and drawer of wood for the section grown rich through our blind or listless lolly. A change, however, is coming on. Wc by no means, in achieving independence, wish to achieve the independence of iso lation. What we must aim at is the in dependence of equality. Then we can maintain some of our existing commer cial relations, but on the basis of a more equitable and honorable system of ex changes. We may grow rich while not impoverishing New h'ngland ; and doing so, be more respected, both for oui money and for our independence. The first essential waking up must bi in our agriculture, in the intelligence oi the tanner, in the adoption of a wisci system ot culture, in thegreaterincreased products of the soil, and in the introduc tion of new subjects of culture. We look to the Alliance to bring aboul a needed agricultural revolution. Among other subjects ot new cultiva tion well adapted to a large portion ol this State is jute. We thought its culti vation had long ago been accepted as :i success. We hnte seen it on exhibition at Kaleigh in excellence not approached by the toreign product; yet there it stop ed ; and the cotton industry was threa tened with paralysis because the jute manufacturers took advantage of the presumed helplessness of the planters, and doubled the price. Hut their move was the last hair that broke the camel's back. The planters rose in indignant re bellion; and until we raise our own jute, which we can do, a domestic substitute will desplacc it. The editor of the News ibservcr has seen, and highly- approves of the bagging made from cotton, and says, "we think that it will answer the purpose so well that the cotton planters will see that hereafter it is generally used." Here there is an important step to keep our money at home. The cost of the im ported jute amounts to many millions ol dollars to us, and is a dead expense. The cotton bagging, made at home, and out of low priced grades, means all the jute money saved, or spent at home. The Wilmington Messenger commends very heartily another textile plant, the ramie. We have long known of this plant, the material of a verv beautiful fabric resembling silk, much used China. The plant will thrive in Xorth Carolina, the product being from 1500 to 2000 pounds ier acre. The great draw back has been in the nbsei ee of an efficient decorticating machine to separ ntethe delicate filirefrom the bark. This we learn has now lieen found ; and a Bos ton firm offers five cents a pound for the ramie in the rough. At that price it is a profitable crop, for the cost of culture is small, and the labor of preparing the crop very light. Let the Alliance see that this new field is entered upon. Another amazing field of farm profit is in the grajie. The conditions for lucra tive culture and utilization are as fine here as anywhere in theworld. This State may become the wine producer of the whole country, perhaps of Europe, in view of the decay of the vineyards all over the country. Here the grniie with the best wine producing quality, is native, and treatment, and some skill and care in the manufacture of wine. These are among the few topics we might suggest hi connection with our "industrial interests." The Wilmington Messenger says that the I'urcell house, closed since the new ami elegant Orton was opened, is again to invite patronage. It sounds strangely to our ears that a city of 24,000 people should have but one first-class hotel; Kaleigh with 1,",(I00, has likewise only one; ('ircensbiiro, with 6,000, has two, and Charlotte with 12,000, likewise has two. The Messenger believes in the opin ion "that multiplicity of hotels is u good criterion by which to judge of a city's prosperity." We agree with the Mes senger. The business may sometimes be overdone. Hut when a city has the nat ural attractions of winter climate, as Wilmington has with its close proximity to the 1'iulf Stream and semi-tropical air; ind when it can also hold out attrac tions to business investments and enter prise, it ought to have hotels enough to itch and hold numerous visitors, some ii wnoni, Willi tune and pleasant sur roundings, may become ernianent rcsi lents. Kaleigh badly needs anothei large hotel, Greensboro and Charlotte both have profited by having more than inegood one; and Ashevillc. with its four r five within the city, nud'its numerous :ine private boarding houses, has found iidl reward for its wisdom. The dispatch to Kuropean waters ot the fine new steel cruisers is creditable to the navy department, and a louree of pride to the American neople. The squadron consists ol the Chicago, Atlanta, Huston and Vorktown, not surpassed in their class by the ships uf anv power in the world. It must never be forgotten that it was the Democratic party that lifted our navy from its degradation, and that it was Secretary Whitney who nut his diouldcrs to the wheel; nor, in justice, must it lie forgotten, that Secretary Tracy isan apt and willing follower in the foot steps ol his predecessor; and that through their patriotic and intelligent work, the -outitry will again take pride in its navy. Millions of our people have never seen a ship of war ; millions have never seen wilt water, yet so much brilliancy was thiown around our navy by the bravery and skill of our otiiccrs and men, from the daysof Paul Jonesin the Hon Homme Kichard in the revolutionary war, the splendid exploits in the Tripolitan war, ami the ever tncnior.iblc splendors of the exploits of 1M2-1, that the country, even in the back woods, held the navy in altectionate pride, did so hold it until such administrators as Chandler. Robe son and Thompson made it the occasion 'I shame, ruder the systems adopted by Whitney and pursued by Tracy, their pride w ill be rekindled. It is rare that a private gentleman makes a sensation byjpublic exhibition ot Ins vocal powers. The public are apt to distrust the man who sings ; they con ceive that he can do nothing else; that if ever there were any good in him it has been expelled by the demon of vanity, and fallen sacrifice to indiscriminate rl.it tery;and ill the end. the good voice sur vives only as companion of dissipation or frirolus association. Capt Prank Cunningham, of Richmond, furnishes a splendid exception to what is unforlu n.iuly loo much the rule. Like Moody and Snnky, he devotes exceptionally tine Dowers of voice to the service of religion, lie is now in Kaleigh, singing in the dif ferent churches in connection with spe cial services. He sang on four different occasions last Sunday, the News-Observer says, in the Pirst Baptist church in the morning, and Kdenton street Methodist in the afternoon, and on each md every occasion charmed crowded congregations. This is glorious use of exquisitely line powers. The follow ing, which we take from ihe N'cws-Obscrver, is well worthy ot consid I eration. The lawyers will say that the j frequent failures to convict on apparently irrefragible proof is the fault of the juries, I who disregard both facts and law. Thcj people say the lawyers pick for their clients just such jurors who are blind and deaf both to facts and law. It that lie the case there is nothing to be gained by a change in the numlier of jurors. No improvement over present practice will be made until the requirement for una nimity is withdrawn. The News-Observer says ; "Without question there is often a fail ure ol justice because the jury system re quires a unanimous verdict. We suggest that the jury sliould be increased to fifteen and that tlicvoiceot twelve jurorsshould be received as the verdict. "We believe that this is more rtnu,,ii. able than requiring absolute unanimity. inn mat it would work more satisfac torily than the present system."
