The policy of a surplus just for the fun of spending it is a great novelty, hut, like some kinds of vaccination, it don't "take." A'. Y. Herald. The policy of a surplus just for the fun of spending it. That is the plan. The Republicans are "uncompro misingly in favor of the American system of protection, " when they see that the American system has filled the vaults of the- treasury and has kept it full ; has made the govern ment rich and independent, has made occasion and given opportu nity for big jobs and huge expendi tures, and still the Republican party, not forgetting those things which are behind, seem bent on having the fun that surplus will give them. The surplus ought to be reduced and kept smalf. . the Democratic party proposes to reduce taxation, thereby gradually re ducing the surplus and removing the cause, overturning the probability of any other surplus. The Republican party wants to keep the surplus'' down by constantly spending money. The Democratic party wants to keep the surplus down by allowing tlie people to constantly save their money in their own-pock ets.'. The Democratic .party , like a sen sible, philosophical physician, wants to eradicate the cause of the decrease the Republican party, like an old quack, wants to use only anesthetic The Wide Awake for July is here 'We can never tell you how wide awake it is. It is one of the sweet est and best children's book we know of. The story of little Heller Keller, who is blind, and deaf and dumb, is sad, pathetic and at the same time rich and full of interest Won derful patience, wonderful care have taught the little girl many things, and she is happy and bright. Send D. Loth rope Company, Boston, $2.40 a year for Wide Awake. PUBLIC HEALTH. The June. Bulletin of the North Carolina Board of Health has been issued. Typhoid fever and dysentery seem to be the most prevalent diseases. Dysentery is reported from thirty four counties, nineteen middle, ten western and five eastern counties. Typhoid fever from eleven middle, one eastern and one western coun ties. The death rate of the towns reported is as follows : Asheville, 21.G; Charlotte, 22.9 ; Durham, 10; Fayetteville, 24 ; Goldsboro, 9.6 ; Henderson, 10.3; New Berne, 20 ; Oxford," 8; Raleigh, 32'; Salisbury, 4.4 ; Tarboro, 14.4 ; Washington, 12 : Wilmington, '31.3. What are the Sanitary regulations in. all these towns ? Are these regu lations carried out faithfully ? Does not the filth of the different towns have much to do with high death rate ? Cleanliness is absolutely nec essary in, thickly populated towns. Sewers, large, capacious, judiciously constructed sewers will help. Ashe ville recognizes this. Will Durham and the other towns follow her? IMMIGRATION. Congress is about to do something to restrict immigration. Congress: man Ford has introduced a resolu tion, and it will be reported favora ble by the committee, Which looks to some relief from the immense swarms that continually come to America. A bill with the same object has also beqif prepared which-will soon be in- irouueeu. liie proposed measure takes the power from the Commi: sioners of Emigration, in regard to imported contract labor, and place it in the hands of the- Collector, who shall have power to appoint agents, clerks and interpreters to visit ships, examine immigrants, &c. In case any immigrant under con tract does succeed in landing, the Col lector has the powqr to go outside his district, take the offender into cusiouy anu upon prooi mat ne vio- ated the law, to send him back to he country from which hecame. It is also provided that ho person can act as agent, or induce "immijrra- ion to this country in tlie interest of any firm, corporation or business. This clause is intended as a blow to the padrone system. Foreign actors and musicians who wish to make a tour of the country are not interfered with. - The bill contains severe penalties for the vio lation of the law. Beaufort county held a regular primary election, at which over one thousand votes were cast. In this way the sentiment of the whole county was approximately obtained. lhat s the way to do the work. Of course one thousand men can tell more about the respective strength of different candidates than fifty or sixty men can. Every county ought to have primary7 elections. When will it stop ? Another Presi dential ticket will soon be put in the field. The National American party will have its National Conven tion in Washington, D. C, 14th. August OUK EXCHANGES. Wilmington 3Iessenger: A very heavy hail storm passed over the Ce derdale section of Pender county on Monday evening, doing . severe-dam age to the growing crops. The hail was the largest ever seen in that sec tion. Joncsboro Leader : The sale of the N. C. Millstone Co., as advertised, took place July 5th at Parkewood. It was first put up in about 40 lots and sold to various parties ; total of sales was S8,440. It was then put up in one gross lot and was bid off by M. Schall, of York, Pa; , for $8, 550. It is to be hoped that the purchaser will, as soon as the sale is confirmed by court, put the works in operation, as the loss of money spent by the for mer company has been seriously felt in that section of the county. Davidson Dispatch: Mr. M. H. Pinnix is feeling particularly good on account of the arrival of a young man who will vote the Democratic ticket about twenty-one years from now. He will join the club as soon as it is convenient for him to come up town on a Monday night. It is supposed that his name will be a combination of Grover and "Allen, and it is expected that he will wave a red bandana several times before the election. Congratulations. That is the sort of immigration that's al ways welcome. Neic& & Observer: This month will be one of the most remarkable in many years for the number of hang ings in it. Yesterday Stephen Free man was hanged at Wilmington for rape ; to-morrow is the day which marks the doom of W. A. Fotts, the murderer of Paul Lincke, and also of James Bvers, of Wilkesboro, con victed of Murder ; on the 19th inst. William Houston will be publicly ex ecuted at Winston for murder; also during this month the four negroes, York Gibson, John Justice, Dave Simmons and Henry Battle, sentenced to be liung at Durham for rape, will be executed unless interposition is made by executive clemency. Wilmington Jlessengor: The Evan gelical Alliance met last night at 8:30 o'clock at Grace Methodist church and a large number were in attendance upon the exercises. Tlie Rev. Robert Strange tendered his resignation as one of the Vice Presi- uents and ur. l. r. wood was elected in. his stead and presided at ie meeting.

I he sisma- jtures of about three hundred labor iing men were read, protesting against running excursions on Sunday up on the pretext that it is for their benefit. A notice was read that the Steamer "Queen of St. Johns" would not run" on Sundays. The Younc Men s Christian Association, having been invited to attend the meeting. jwas present in a body, having pre viously met at 8 o'clock, at Library Hall, and proceeded thence to the church. I he meeting adjourned about 10: oO o clock. Iialeiyrh Items. News and Observer. Favetteville Street Baptist Sunday scnooi neia a picnic at jrooKsiae Park yesterday afternoon.

A lew days ago Mr. John A. Trol linger killed a blue crane in his fa ther's, Mr. Win. Trollinger's, lisl ppnd, which measured 0 feet-from tip to tip and C feet 2 inches from the end of beak to tip of toes. A lanre bird that. !

Persons who do not like the idea of fording the river will have to cross elsewhere lor a few days. Elijah Faust, aged about 00 years, dropped dead in the field while plowing -on 2d inst. He lived in Guilford, four or five miles from Gib sonville. Chatham News. Pitti-boro Papers. We regret that the cholera is kill ing the hogs in variuus sections of the county. The man that should find a specific for this fatal tlisease of the swine would make a fortune and confer an inestimable benefit on his fellows. The reunion of Chatham's ex Confederate soldiers, which will be held at this place on the first Thurs day in August, will be the grandest occasion ever known in the: countyr. Tlie committee of arrangements and the marshals held a meeting hereon last Friday for the purpose of con sultation, and the great interest manifested by them renders certain thb success of the proposed reunion. Every portion of the county was represented at this meeting, and Irom the roports made we may ex pert all of Chatham men, women and children to attend the re union. We have in our posession a most beautiful pocket-knife, made by Miss Naomi Smith, of this county. Miss Smith is an invalid. Suffers greatly of heart disease and rheumatism To j while away the tedium of the sick room' and to make a few shil lings for her support she has been making knives, mending jewelry and making watch charms. She makes her own tools: and shows a most wonderful ingenuity in handling thep. She is a young lady of pure cnaracier ana deserves tne sympa thy of our people in her suffering euoris 10 maKe an nonoraDie living. OUK PLATFOKM. Adopted in State Convention at ICaleign, Jiny, We again congratulate the people of North Carolina on the continued enjoyment of peace, good goverment and general prosperity under dem ocratic administration of the affairs of the State which has now been un- jroken for so many years ; upon the ust and impartial enforcement of he, law : upon! the increasing efli- ciencv of our common school svstem, and the progress made in popular education; upon the improvement and enterprise manifested in all parts of the State. We again chal lenge a comparison between this state ol things; and the outrages, crimes and scandals which attended Republican ascendancy in our bor ders. " A e pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as in the past,our best efforts to promote the best interests of the people of all sections of tne State. Ahirming.our adherence to Democratic principles as heretofore enunciated in the platforms of the party, it is hereby lie-MHved. 1 hat, no government lias the right to burden its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extinguish its public debt; and that whenever the revenues, however derived, 'exceed this amount, thev should be I reduced, so as to avoid a surplus in the treasury. That any system of taxation which necessitates the ! payment of a pre mium ot S'J0 bUhe government on each 8 1,000 of it's bonds, taken up with the rn'illions that would other wise lie idle in. its vaults, and paid to bondholders who purchased in many instances, jat less than par, is undemocratic, oppressive and in iquitous and shpuld be refunded. The course of our, Democratic Rep resentatives in Congress, in their ellbrts to give relief to the people from burdensome internal revenue and tarilf taxation, meets with the approval of the lemocratic party of this State and we respectfully rec ommend that if theyT find it impos sible to give to our people all the relief demanded they support any just and practical measure presen ted in Congress that will atlord a practical relief from such existing burden. ' Ilexolued, That while the details of the methods by which the constitu tional revenue tariff shall be grad ually reached are! sulyects which the representatives of; our people at the national capital hi ust be trusted to adjust, we think the customs duties should be levied jfor the production of public revenue, and tlie discrimi nations in their adjustment should be such as will 'place the highest rates on luxuries 'arid the lowest on the necessaries of. life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxation, and confer the greatest good on the greatest num ber. I llemhed, That Jwe, as heretofore, tavor, and will never cease to de mand, the unconditional abolition of the whole internal revenue svstem. as a war tax, not Ibe be justified in times of peace"; as; a grievous burden to our people and;a source of annoy ance in its practical operations. We call the attention of the people of the State to the hypocritical pretensions of the Republican party in their plat- torms that they are in favor ot the repeal of this onerous system of taxa tion, enacted by their party, while the Republicans in Congress are tax ing their energies to obstruct all leg islation inaugurated by the repre sentatives of the Democratic party to relieve tne people ot all or a part of this odious system. Jiesolced, That the course of the Democratic party 'in furtherance of popular education, is a sufficient guarantee that we 'favor the educa tion of the people, and we will pro mote and improvejthe present edu cational advantages so far as it can be done without burdening the peo ple by excessive taxation. Resolved, That to1 meet an existing evil, we will accept, for educational purposes, from thq Federal Govern ment out pro rata share of the surplus in its treasury ; Provided, that it be disbursed through State agents and the bill for the distribution be free from objectionable features. liesolcfd, That the United States being one government and ours a na tional party, we denounce the ef forts of the Republicans to force sec tional issues in Congress and else where, and to promote dissension and ill-will between the people of the different sectiorisof our common country. I Resolved, That i is due to the people of our eastern 'counties, who have so cheerfully borne their share of our common jburdens, that the present or some equally effective system of county government shall be maintained. j . Resolved, That the Democratic party is opposed to any further ex tension of the uXo-fence" law, unless such extension shall have first been authorized by a majority of the qual ified voters within the territory to be affected thereby.; Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever been the party of the workingman, and has never fostered monopolies, nor have "trusts" or "combinations" or I "pools" ever, prown up under laws enacted by it The contest in this country being be- tween aggregated capital, seeking to crush out all competition, and the individual laborer, the Democratic party is. as it has ever been, against the monopolist and in favor of a iust distribution of capital, and de- mands tlie enactment oi iaa mat will bear equally upon all.. Resolved, That as all taxation bears most heavily upon the laborer, it is the duty of the legislator, as a direct benefit to the workingman, to keep the expenses of our public institu tions at the lowest limit consistent with wise and efficient management The Democratic party opposes any competition between free and convict labor, but it insists that convicts shall not remain idle at, the expense of honest labor. Rrsolivd, That ours being an agri cultural State, it is our duty as well as our pleasure to promote any and all legislation that is best calculated to advance the interests of agricul ture ; and that in so doing we will most effectually advance the inter ests of mechanics, manufacturers and laborers. Resolved. That the Democracy of North Carolina, cordially approve the administration of Hon. Alfred . i it M. Scales as honest, patriotic and conservative. Resolved, That the ability, wisdom, honesty, patriotism, independence, faithfulness to duty and manly cour age of President Cleveland have won the odnuration of all good men ; and tlie interests of the countrv demand his re-nomination and his re-elec tion.
