To de- fend thisl enormous stretch of coast-line we have ia few modern- Biups; hut no4 fortifications of recent constitution, save at three points, San Francisco.' New York and Boston, where a beginning has been made in the building of mod em works. !; : . On th Pacific coast alone, accord:"n to the estimate of General; Miles, there are mor4 than five hundred millions' of dollars cjf destructible property, within, the react oflaostile naval vessels. Oa the Atlantic coast, the -possibilities of destruction are very much greater. New Yok and Boston have each sixteen twelve-inch motar3 4n position, and N'iw Yok has in addition two twelve inch gues; but what are these to match against the guns, of a fleet of. moaern battleships? A naval power far less formidable than Engian4 would be abje to inflict upon ns great,; injury and to eiact enbrmous tribute beforewe could put ourselves in a position for effective resistance. Last iummer, in conversation with an American, Li Hung Chang, the mJ inent Chinese statesman, insisted that the United States, would have come to the elp of China, in . the war with Japan, if it had not been afraid of the Japaneslslleet. There were nO forts at San Frapcisoo, he affirmed, that could keep out the weakest gunboat in the Japanese navy, and a single Japanese ship could destroy every city on Puget Sound without thd slightest difficulty, in u, week. . ' "If Japan should declare war against the UniSted States." said the Chinese Viceroy, "she could have every soldier in her army and every ship in her navj On our coast within a month. rShe would tike possession of all your cities and your railroads, and your gold and 6ilyer mines, and your manufactories, and would hold them until you paid any amount of indemnity she( might ask." This, ofj course, is an exaggeration, but it is humiliating that 4he defenceless condition of our coasts should inspire even Asiatic nations with contempt.. Ten jjears ago the President urged etrenuotisly upon Congress the duty of fortifying our Seaboard cities. The war department devised a plan which con templated a system of fortifications at twenty-feight ports, including Puget Sound. The plan requied about seven hundred' guns and eight hundred mortari of modern construction. . It was estimated to cost about one hundred million! dollars, and was to be completed in ten years. Howlfar have we progressed with the exception1 or tms pianr jongress nas voted only about one-tenth of the money required. Three only of the seven hundred guns proposed and forty- eight of the eight hundred mortars are in place. At the rate at which appro priations have been; made during the past five years, seventy years would be required to complete the engineer work for the fortifications projected The (appropriations made by Congress have npt only been absurdly meagre, but they have been so capriciously dis tributed that the different branches of the wibrk have1 proceeded at different rates. For example, by next July it is estimated that we shall have one hun dred and thirty-four guns ready, to mount'; but only fifty-nine carriages on which to mount them; and only forty- two emplacements in which to put them, j - Tenl years more, according to the Sec retary of War, will be required t6 pro vide adequate defences for our seacoast, but t iis period wilL be considerably lengthened ,if appropriations are not made pn a scale which will keep the foundries and gun factories operating at their full capacity, and will permit the various branches of the work to be carried forward systematically, : We have ilreadyiost valuable time through mistaken economyr Instead of finding ourseljves with a completed system of defence; as was contemplated ten years ago, we have made Dut ieebie aaegin- ning; ordinary : prudence : Buouid compel a more energetic policy, without waiting for some sudden emergency to bnngithe penalty for our remissness. ls Candid Opinion of Himself .

Keith, of "Wilmington, the national comraitteemari for North Car olina of the last silver party that .was organized a new one is organized every few weeks has had a conference at Raleigh with, Messrs. Smith, McRae, R B.' Peebles and B. CI Beckwith, and now says that "after having conferred with leading suver men of all parties in this State, apian has; been di vised by which all straightout silver men, re gardles of former party affiliations, can Tote together in the coming national and State;, election' 'i On the heels - o: all thi3 comes" a publication 'in the Hal eigh News and Observer of yesterday, signed by Mr. M. L. lieed, of Bun combe, ex-member of the Legislature, and Mr. Locke Craig, a member of the Asfieville bar, in whicli they say that North Carolina is for silver and that it ia especially the duty of North Car olina Democrats to see that the dele gation sent to Chicago will stand firmly for the money of the people, and if that convention, at Jhe dictation of Grover Cleveland andLWall - street, . Rhould set at naught the wishes of the overwhelm ing majority of the party, and- regard less of the conditjpn cf the country, driven to the verge of anarchy and ruin regardless of the demands and suffer ings of the people, should trample up-' on the will of the people, and attempt to pledge the Democratic; party to the sup port of gold-bugs, in the jnterest of ty rannical plutocracy, our delegation should be instructed to withdraw ' from the convention, repudiate its platform and nominees and denounce its action as an outrage on Democratic institu tions and a menace to the existence of the republic. There is a minority in the Democrat ic party of North Carolina which be lieves as firmly and as honestly that the maintainance of the cause oi sound money ia essential to the well-being of the republic as Messrs. lieed and Uraig do that cheap money is the crying need of the people. If the national Demo cratic convention declares for free coin age are these gentleman willing that the delegates from the sound money States shall bolt ? and will they hold guiltless their fellow-citizens of North Carolina who are sound moneytnen if these bolt ? Their answer in both cases should be yes, for surely if it is fair for one faction to play "heads I win, tails you lose, its fair for the bther. ' V e have a good deal of respect for those whose hearts are so set upon free silver that they are willing to leate the Democratic party and hang- in with a new one for the sake of the opportunity to vote for free coinage; but we haven't much opinion of this business of read ing men out f the party, and still less of the policy of going into a convention on an equal footing with the other fel low, demanding that he stick if you win but reserving to yourself the right to bolt if he wins. This it the Butler ism of 1872 and it is' a; thing to be de spised. It is charged that the sound money men have made a sehism in, the Demo cratic party of North Carolina, but we call attention to the fact that it is not they who are reading men out of the party and advising their fellows to bolt unless their peculiar view of the coin age question prevails.

' The Atlanta Constitution presents Ben Tillman's speech in the senate on Wednesday in full, wherein he calls Cleveland a besotted tyrant and at the head of a damnable plot to destroy-the finances of the county, with the co-op eration of his cabinet officers in his nefarious schemes, accompanied by a large picture of its champion black guard. The Constitution would applaud the devil if his Satanic majesty "would cuss out Cleveland and Hoke Smith. n fact the Constitution would have you believe tbe-county is going to the devil because Cleveland failed to put Howell in his cabinet, and he will never forgive the president for such gross-indifference to his ability. Tom Watson, Ben Tin man and the Atlanta Constitution! These three do agree on most all ques tion?; And yet the latter, is seeking to convince the uemocrauc party oi Georgia that but one convention is ne cessary to attend to national and state matters.. The Constitution should have no v.oice in the affairs of the Democratic party, and the people of Geoigia will declare aUhe proper time. Tillman's Threat. Baltimore Sun. . The character of the Democracy which Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, represents is shown by his asserton that, if the national convention refuses to make concessions to silver, the South Carolina delegation will withdraw and act with the independent silver party, which proposes to put up a. candidate of its own. 11 Tillman stands by this declaration, neither he nor the delega tion which he says he will control have any . right to a seat in a iemocrauc convention. Delegates to a national convention are in honor bound to ac cept the action of the convention as final and to support its nominees. The majority rules, and if ( this were not the case, it would be absurd to hold a con vention. The Richmond (Va.) Tim says that the desertion of Tillman ought to be welcomed by the democratic par ty, "which should jump eagerly at Till man's bait and seize the opportunity to rid the party of all such burdens." But the principal consideration is to keep such men out of the convention altogether, if possikle. The State Penitentiary. Biblical Recorder.

As for his teeth he had convulsions when he cut them, and as the last one cqmes through, lo j the dentist is twisting the first one out, and the last end of that man's jaw is worse than the first,- being full of porcelain and a roof -plate built to hold blackberry seeds. ; Stone bruises line his pathway to manhood: his father boxes his ears at home, the big boys ciiff him in the playground and the teacher whips him in the school room.: He buyeth North western at 110, when he hath sold short at 96, and his neighbors hnloadeth up on him Iron Mountain! at 63 f, and straightway breaketh down to- 52. He riseth early and sitteth up late that he may fill his barns and storehouses, and lo ! his children's "lawyer divide the spoils among themselves and Bay: "HaJ hal" He growl?th and. is in sore distress because it raineth, and he beateth upon his breast and saveth 'My crop is lost!" becaiuseit raineth not. The late rains blight his wheat and the frost biteth his peaches. If it be so that the. sun shineth, even among the nineties, he eayeth, i"Woe is me, for I perish I" and even if the north west wind 8igheth down' in 42 below, he crieth, "Would I were diead !" If he wears Backcloth ahd blue leans, men say "he is a tramp,'? and if he go forth shaven' and. clad n purple and fine linen, all the people cry "Shoot the dude 1" He canieth insurance for twenty years, until he had paid thrice overall his goods, and then he letteth his policy lapse one day, iand that some night fire destroyeth his store. He buildeth him a house in Jersey, and his first born is devoured by inosquitoes; he pitcheth his tents in .New lork, and tramps devour1 his substance. He moveth to Kansas and a cyclone cari, rieth his house away over; into Missouri, while a prairie fire and 10,000,000 acres of grasshoppers fight fori his crop. He settles himself in Kentucky andf is shot the next day by a gentleman, a colo nel and statesman, "because, sah, he resembles, sah, a man, sah, he did not like, sah." Verily, there is no rest for the sole of his feet and if he had to do it over again he would not be born at all, for "the day of death is better than the day of one s birth." Another New State Enterprise, Messrs. J. H. Bobbitt land J. L. Ram sev. of JKaieign, nave organized me ; . - -w a .. j i - Bobbitt Drug Company with headquar ters in that city. They will manufacture what they claim to be a superior remedy and a certain ' constitutional cure for rheumatism, called "Rheumacide," an entirely new discovery. iThe proprietors state that sales have already been made in three states, and cures effected every case The Raleigh Press-Visitjj says: ' j :' I "Mr. Bobbitt is well known as one the best and most progressive pharm rista in the State, and is ! ex-president of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical As sociation, and the fact of his bringing the remedy forward s alone a good guarantee for it. Mr. J. L. Ramsey h ... 1 1 .1 , will be advertising manager ana nas me abilitv- to push the enterprise to suc cess," etc. j The News & Observer: also gives an extended notice, and after speaking of a number of remarkable cures, says: "Mr. Bobbitt and Mr. Ramsey are t.Vifi verv men to nush it actively and wiselv." ! The remedy is 'said to be entirely vegetable and , non-alcoholic. ' The "method of manufacture jand ingredients are different from any proprietary med icine On the market, i ' Th Liimberton; Robesonian is au thority for the statement that not a single mortcace was foreclosed in Robeson county last year.
