BO OniWekk - IS TUESDAY, N0VEMBERU5, 1892. JVUGE AVGVSTVB MKRB1SION The death of this distinguished man, the Chief Justice of the Supreme court of North Carolina, following so soon that ol his eminent associate Joseph S. Davis, has greatly impressed the people of orth Carolina with a real sense of the 1 s of another ereat and crood man. Beth of them were conspicious for their private virtues, lor their Warning and their great public services; two men whom no State can afford to dispense with iuany capac ity, much less in positions as promi nently responsible as that of the ulti mate and final result of the disposal of the lives, liberties and properties of the people. And to the weighing aud disposition of the momentous issues involved in these important questions, there was no man in our knowledge more perfectly adapted than ludce Merriinon. The hard conditions of his youth and early years constrained him to scvcrcdiscipline of personal habits. The saincconditions controlled him to the same rigor in the government ot his mental habits. With ambition to succeed and excel in the profession he had chosen, he was early forced to the conviction that success de pended upon himself alone. His integrity, his industry, his persistence, his punt; of character, alone stood him as friends in those early struggles inci Jen t to the opening career of a pour, ambitious young man. The hard training so forced at that period of his life indurated his faculties, mental, moral and physical, to that rigid firmness of adhesion to all that was true, upright, pure, firm and undeviating from the right, which were the characteristics of the man as a pri vate citizen and a public servant, illumi nating the one by a lile unstained by a single breach in the code of morality undeformed by the tormation of any one of those habits social custom so readily indulgesorcondoncs, unmarked by a sin gle departure from that strict line of truth and integrity he had marked out as his rule in life; and as a public servant, gov ernedby the rules that guided his private life, rising step by step to the loftiest heights attainable to personal ambition and adorning them all by the revelation of splendid natural abilities illustrated and adorned with all the acquirements of close, hard study, wide reading close and patient thought, the combina tion of all of which resulted in the forma tion of the brilliant lawyer, the eminent Senator, the distinguished Judge; and what was more immediately useful anil appreciable, the good man and the useful citizen. fcV The obituary notice in yesterday's Citizen contains all that is needed now to sav of the particulars of his career, Doubtless a man so eminent in character and position will receive that more ex tended tribute due his name and stand ing. AN EIHORMOl 8 TASK. It is likely that no political party came into power with heavier burdens to lift for the relief of the icople than will con front the Democratic party when it be comes the government next March First of all is the tariff, an artificial mon strosity it is true, but so entwined in and out amone our vast business interests that it must be handled with consum mate intelligence or the disturbance in the line of the protected industries is cer tain to be wide-spread and, for a time at least, exceedingly harmful. The repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banks and the building up of a financial svstem that shall, at an early day, take the place of the national bank ing system is imperative also, but there seem to be no difficulties in the way tha cannot be overcome by thoughtful, con scrvative legislation. The Federal election laws can be blot ted out with dancer to no interests that deserve any especial consideration John 1. Davenport will weep, but there will be few other mourncis. There are a dozen other and less im portant reforms, any one or all of whic can readilv be disposed of, and then we come to the task which, it seems to us, presents greater difficulties than all others combined. We refer to the neces sity of the Democratic party bringing the administration of the public affairs of the United States to an economical basis. Democracy stands always pledged to bring about this reform and Cleveland has frequently emphasized the importance of the great relief that can be afforded the people in this direction. The annual expenses of the govern went are millions more than they were when Cleveland left the presidential chair in 18SS. Since then we have had the billion dollar Congress; hundreds of thousands of dollars have been pledged to soldiers annually that can never be withheld; the river and harbor bill car ries with it, from the pace set by the Re publican congresses, millions more that the Democratic party must continue to pay oat or see other millions, already expended, wasted in work half done and unavailable till completed. In other words, the Republican party bus committed this country to expendi' tures that make an economical adminis tration all but impossible. If this seems exaggerated read carefully the following dispatch from Washington received at Tub Citizen office today : . "The. exceedingly heary payments made by the Treasury during the first quarter of the present fiscal year have caused some dismay among the members of the Appropriations committee of the t House. For the first four months of the Tear these payments have exceeded by v-iteen million dollars the expenditures for the corresponding period in the pre ceding fiscal year, which means a total increase tor the present year of forty eight millioa dollars, while the appro priations for the !year are only twelve millioa dollar greater than the appro priations lor last year. "In plain English, that means (if tbc estimates of the committee hold good) n 1 deticieincy on account of pensions of thirty-six million dollars which will have to be met by Congress at the next ses sion, in addition to the appropriation foroensions for the next fiscal vearot certainly not less than one hundred and fitty million dollars. The total appro priation that Congress must make for pensions next session wi:t nggregate not less than one Buourcd ana eiguty-six million dollars. With this enormous sum added to tbc other appropriations necessary to carrv on the government, and the decreased importations and con sequent uecreaseu receipts asan expecieu result from agitation ot the tarili ques tion it will be seen that the Appropria tions committee has gooi1. reason to feel ismayed at the outlook ami to doubt their ability to prevent a deficiency m the national accounts." In other words let the Democratic arty in Congress do its best and it will still run the risk of incurring the charge of extravagane because ot expenditures forced on it from the present administra tion. The last Congress, in fact, hud this charge brought against it, in part justly, but in the main not so, for the billion dollnrJCongress still dominated the situa tion, as it will, to some extent, the one that will confront the nrxl House and Senate. The Democratic party will have need in the Mid Congress of the utmost obil- ty of the greatest men the party affords; hut it must take years ol careful legisla tion to bring this government back to the days of 1SS1VS when l'rcsiilent Cleveland and the Democratic party ere embarrassed by a surplus. WINSTON fire i.ossi:. EPISTLE TO TUB ASllEVILLIANS. I. 'Yea, verily, even so, the eleventh moon and the eighth day of tbc moon is close at hand ; let us hasten to get our selves up into the ship while the night is yet young and make sail for the prom ised laud." So cried the Republican host loudlv one unto the other, and with their women and children mid their household Gods, yea even so the mighty Hen and the I'rincelv Mc. ami their many shekels of gold and silver and their jiirs of precious ointment, verily the oint ment of the Tariff which had healed their sick and given unto them all joy and gladness, thev did make haste to get themselves up into the ship and did rejoice and cry aloud, among themselves Bakincf Absolutely Pure Tbcv Will Approximate a Quar ter or a Million Dollars The following is an estimate on the the losses sustained by thevarioussuffer- ers in the lire: Hank Building $,'10,000 S. 15. Allen &: Co 12,000 Racket Store .'1,000 Twin-City Club L',000 Other contents 3,000 $50,000 lanes Building $15,000 Brown & Brown 10,000 Kudden 5,000 Other contents 3,000 $33,000 Crawford Building $10,000 Stock 23,000 $33,000 Buxton Building $10,000 Kosenbachcr & Bro 42,000 $52,000 'epper Building $10,000 Caldwell & KulT. 15,000 $21,000 This would make the total losses on Liberty and Fourth streets about $200, 000. Losses bv the other fire may I calcu lated about as follows: B.J. Sheppard, building $ 0,000 Stock 10,000 Warehouse 5,000 Contents 5,000 Horses, etc 2,000 $31,000 Sundry losses will aggregate $-10,000 or more. Some of the stock which carried msur- suranec was saved and, as will be seen, some of those insure,! arc only slightly damaged. Sentinel. A Bad Lot. l-'rom the Charleston News und Courier. We do not mean to revive any of the unpleasant memories of the recent cam paign, but would like to say to Patrick Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle; lvvan Howell and Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution; Frank O'Brien, of the Bir mingham Age-Herald, and Charles O linen Lownrdin, of the Richmond Dis patch, that they "mean well, but they don't know." They fought well after the line of battle had been formed, but they bad nothing to do with selecting the ground on which the engagement took place anil with choosing the com mander-in-chief who led the Democratic army to victory.

And the captain of the ship whose name was Virgillius did call unto him the first officer of the ship whose name was Wallace aud he did speak unto him say ing: "Hasten, oh my son, to the lower leek and bid the rowers busy themselves with the oars and to bend their backs to their task least the Democratic storm overtake us c're we reach the promised land and we and the ship be engtilled in the billows of Public Opinion." And Wallace knowing full well that the ship was old aud that the timbers were rot ten did hasten to bid the rowers as the captain had commanded him. Aud it came to pass thai the captain of the other ship whose name was Charles did say unto those who were about to get themselves up into the Re publican ship, "vcrilv, my friends, thou knowest not what thou docst; rather ye east thyselves into the sea than get tliyselves drowned in yon ship like unto rats in a water butt. Get thy goods ami chatties ami come up into the ship with me. for the timbers of my ship are stout and my rowers nrc many and strong, and we will sail bravely before the storm should it o'er take us." And manv of the Republican host hearkened nnto'him and did get themselves up into the ship. And one of them who did thus get himself up into the ship, and whose name was Brown, did cry unto his fel lows who were in the other ship and did entreat them saying, "Come ye over into this ship least your ship sink anil ye i ll be drowned," But they scoffed at him and heeded him not. And their helms man who was a mauof great stalureand whose name was Harkins, did say unto him, "Fool be still, least yea repeut thy loud words on the morrow." 11. And it was the first watch of the night of the seventh day, and a great darkness was upon the face of all the earth, and the ships made sail out of the harbor and those who were in the ships could not sec one another because of the great darkness, And it came to miss that in the night there wercsounds of revelry and ofniirth on the Republican ship and thev did re joice and make merry and did think not of the storm which would break on the morrow. And the captain of the other slim whose name was Charles he stood on the deck of his ship and all was ready for the morrow and he was not afraid and while lie stood thus on the deck ol his ship it came to pass that it was the first watch of the morning and he heard a loud voice from the hea vens crying unto those in Uic other ship, "Repent, repent, ye who do make merry and are i;lad. for the morrow is close at hand ami great sorrow shall come unto you." But those in the other ship heard not the voice nnd did still make merry and were clad. But when Charles had heard the vouc lie begat himself to his cabin mid did command that the great high priest whose name was Murphy come unto him. And when he had told him of the voice the priest was much glad and did say, "Yea verily, verily it is the voice ot the irods nnd tomorrow the wicked shall perish and the righteous shall be saved. And he did oiler up sacrifice ol incense and ot myrrh and of honcv. And it was the morning and the even mc of the first dav, and the sky was blue and the sea was calm and the wind blew not. And it came to pass as the night drew nigh a great storm was upon the face of the deep, and those who were in the ship were sore afraid. But the captain commanded the high priest to tell unto the people in the ship, ot tnc words that he had heard spoken by the voice in the night. And the high priest did as the captain commanded mm, nnd when the people had listened unto the words which he spake, they did rejoice and were much glad, 111. And it came to pass it was the first watch of the niuht and the storm raged high and the billows were about to en gulf the Republican ship, but those who were in the ship feared not und did still make merry. And Virgillius, who was the captain of the ship, was alone in his cabin and he was sore opprcst for he knew that the ship was old ami the tim bers were rotten, and that the ship might founder in the storm which raged so grievously. And while he sat thus in his cabin, there came unto him nn officer of the ship whose name was Cannon and did say unto him that that mast of the ship, which is called New York, had broken off and 'alien into the sea. And when Virgillius heard these words, he did beget himself to the first deck with great speed and did cry to the people on the ship, "Ho, get ye to the lower deck nnd bear a hand at the oars lest we are capsized in the deep sea and are drowned." And the people did hasten to do as he com manded them for they were eore afraid. And it enme to pass that it was the second watch of the night and the storm waxed crent in furv and the ship did wallow deep in the trough ot the sen. And while Virgillius did walk upon the deck those who were below at the oars did come and did rine their bands and rend their garments and did cry that the ship had sprung a leak in that part of the ship which is called Illinois. And when Virgillius heard these words he bowed his bead and was sore opprcst, and the people cried, "Let us desert the ship ere it sink and we arc drowned." And they built themselves a raft out of those parts of the ship which are called Maine, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and did get themselves thereon, and while they were yet in sight of the ship it did founder and go down, and it was exceeding cold, and those who were on the raft were but thinly clad in their rai ment, and they did weep among them selves and did bow their heads. And the first officer of the ship whose name was Wallace did lift up his voice loudly in lamentation and did cry, "Woe is me, woe is me, would that I had never gotten on the ship with my many shek els that are no more. Better had I stayed on the tobacco farm where I shall spend the rest of my days if ever we reach the land. Woe is me, woe is me." And he spake no more, And the cold, stinging wind did (serce their raiment and did sting them most cruelly. "Verily, verily," said Virgillius, "it is indeed a cold day and we have no PROTECTION, let us weep together." And they wept and their lamentations filled the land, even to the very bounda ries thereof. A cream of tartar ImkiiiR powi'cr Minn est of all In leavening strength.
