WILMINGTON, N. C.
FRIDAY. JUNE 19. 1891.
THE OHIO CONTEST.
- The nomination of 'Mr. McEinley
as the Republican candidate for
Goyernor of Ohio was almost a fore
gone conclusion. The Republican
leaders were almost compelled to
select the man for office who had
chiefly created the Monstrosity of
taxation that bears his name, or to
practically abandon the high tariff
fight in Ohio. Little Benny Fora
ker, the' corruptionist, nominated
Mr. McEinley, and there was fitness
in ' the performance. Foraker, as
Governor, had shown the country
; just what sort of dirt entered into
his make-up morally and politic
cally and that he was a fraud of
Brobdingnagian proportions. As Mc
Einley's chief claim to fayor is his
identification with the most unequal,
unjust and absurd system of taxa
tion that any free and enlightened
people were ever cursed with--a
system conceived in oppression and
worked out with unyielding zeal in
behalf of Plutocracy, it was emi
nently proper that the Ohio horn-
blower of fraud should do the tooting
for the chief exponent of fraudulent
taxation in the Congress. There
was harmony throughout.
It is to be noticed that Senator
Sherman was not indorsed by the
Convention. It is said he requested
this. If true, it was a confession of
weakness and showed that Foraker's
aspirations for the able Senator's
seat were sufficiently formidable to
make it unsafe to risk a resolution
of indorsement of Sherman.
On the other hand it was manifest
that Secretary Blaine has firm hold
of the politicians of Ohio who shape
campaigns. A moralist might well
stand still and marvel at the sight of
a convention in any State going
wild with enthusiasm at the men
' tion of a politician whose career is
so sadly stained and whose moral
status is so low. No American pol
itician in the record of a hundred
years has shown so much of easy
venality and moral obliquity.
We think that in all probability
the Ohio Democrats can scare up a
tariff reformer who can defeat Mc-
. Kinley. Unless the Ohio voters are
more ignorant than we suppose and
are resolfed to keep up a tax that is
doing infinite damage to the country
and oppressing the poor, they will
hardly follow the lead of MoKinley.
We must expect a Democratic tri
umph if the party is well united and
a campaign of education is vigorous
ly and ably pressed. Boodle in great
. sums no doubt will be used to defeat
them, but.faots and experience ought
to stand by them and give them the
victory.
Gov. Campbell may be renomi
sated. We somewhat fear that he
has weakened his popularity. Other
wise we believe he can carry off the
sweepstakes.
PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS.
There can be no good objection to
celebrating the 4th of July if people
feel like turning on the ' patriotic
nuia on mat aay ana getting up a
big sizsing. It is our day as well as
any other people's day. The South
is a part or the country, and keeps
step in the great procession to the
music of the Union. But while you
get up a "lively time"on the day th
Fathers defied old King George and
indulge in patriotic furor and gush
. tL.t l 4.' 1 J ... .
vu iuai uAuvusi uay," wny be so
indifferent to a great day in the
calendar of North Carolina! If you
' : .
. are so sceptical you can not accept
the 20th of ' tMay. why not
then celebrate the 31st Mayf There
is no doubt as to the latter. We
cannot, however, agree to give up
the 20th because certain minds with
a sceptical turn choose to chime in
with certain other sceptical minds in
.. f the North and say the men of Meek
, lenburg did not issue a declaration of
independence on that day. They ac
cept the Gospels and human testis
; mony as to the Son of God the wit-
nesses of the resurrection but they
an not accept the., testimony of more
than a dozen reputable men as to the
fact of a Declaration on the 20th;
Bat Noith Carolinians from im
memorial tune'have been destitute of
proper State pride. The two States
that have a super-abundance of this
article He on our border, but the
people of North Carolina generally
do their duty and lead other States
in the making of history, but after
that they seem to care but little
what! becomes of the record they
have made or of the memories of the
gallant men who made it.
Wei might all amend just here. Let
.as not surrender a great day in oar
annals at the bidding of Northern
writers who are combined to
do injastice to North Caro
lina, I and who denying the
Mecklenburer Declaration never to
much as heard of the splendid work
at Wilmington that put to the blush
the disguised Indian affair in Boston
harbor, the battles of Alamance,
Moore's Creek Bridge, Ramsear's
Mill and the part North Carolina
performed at the decisive battle of
King's Mountain.
Celebrate the JUtn May it you
would do a patriotic duty. Give
your own State a part at least of
vour ardor for country, and do not
expend all of your bubbling patri
otbm over the Philadelphia Decla
ration. If Virginia, or South Car
olina or Massachusetts had a 20th
May what splendid demonstrations
of rejoicing they would make.
NORTH CAHOLINA GRANITE.
There is a great deal of granite in
North Carolina and of an excellent
quality. 1 is to be found in many
coudties. Some of it is of a high
grade and works beautifully. The
new Postoffice building in Wilming
ton is of North Carolina granite, and
it is very fine. The building, itself is
a triumph of architectural taste and
beauty. In Iredell county there is a
blue granite being shipped that is of
superior beauty and fineness. There
are three quarries in operation, but
capital is lacking to work them
properly. The demand is great. A
correspondent of the Manufacturer
Reeord, writing1 from Mooresville
says: "It is the finest grained and
easiest worked monumental granite
in the country, and every one who
has worked any of it says so. It is
equal to or superior in beauty to the
westerly or iticnmond granite, and
works 20 to 40 per cent, easier, and
therefore, cheaper."
W . m
la rerson county, there ,is a very
superior deposit of whetstone. In
deed, if looked into carefully, it wil
be found that North Carolina
abounds in granite and stones of ya
nous kinds, and of superior quality
We look to the State Geological Sur
vey to bring to light much hidden
treasure, and to make known the
fine granite deposits not now worked
or even discovered.
Dan mountain in Rowan county is
said to be literally a solid mountain
of granite, and has been sold or will
be sold to an English Syndicate.
A FORGOTTEN NOVELIST.
In the death of Mrs. Frances
James, widow of the old time nov
elist, G. P. R. James, we are re
minded of our early days of novel
reading in the forties when we read
his novels and thought them very
good. Those were the bucolic days
the salad days of youth. We have
not read one iu probably forty years,
and do not know how we would
relish them now. We would not be
surprised if wo could again read
with delight his "Philip Augustus,"
and perhaps some others. He was
an imitator of bcott and not an
original force. His novels were
very much alike. The gifted Boston
critic, Edwin P. Whipple, said hap
pily in his article on James
that he stood ten paces from the
target and fired one successful shot,
and had been shooting ever since
through the same hole. We give
this from memory as it must haye
been nearly forty years since we
read his excellent essays.
Mr. James was a cultivated, amia
ble man, who got some small pick
ingsfrom the British Government.
He was consul for some years at
Norfolk, Va., and was historiogra
pher royal during tbe reign of WiU
liamlV. He was born in 1801,married
in 1828, and died in 1860. His widow
has just died aged ninety.
RECOGNIZING TALENT.
The promotion of Col. A. B.
Andrews, of Raleigh, to the First
VicePresidency of the Richmond and
Danville railroad system is a well
merited recognition of a very efft
cient native railroad man. Alex
Andrews, as they call him in Gran
yule, his native county, (now
Vance), began under his uncle, Dr.
William J, Hawkins, then President
of the Raleigh and Gaston road, the
life of railroading, and he has stead ix
ly forged away until he has become
a recognized railroad man of mark'
ed ' ability. The Messenger is
always pleased to see. North Caro
Una talent appreciated. It is i
great mistase to suppose mat it is
either a calamity or a crime to be
boru in North Carolina. The trouble
is that with some people a native
must receive the stamp of approval
i. rum aoroaa Detore he will be rex
garded as genuine coin at home.
Yery foolish and unjust!. There is
plenty of good material in North
Carolina that only needs to be dis
covered to be made of precious
yalue. Give, our people a chance.
North Carolina has always been
good euough for us, and we thank
God that we were born within her
borders. i

very able jurist, no doubt but he is
clearly too much of a partisan on
the bench to meet the requirements.
The consequence is he is very justly
and severely censured. Mr. bd
mund Yates, the eminent London
journalist, in his last dispatch to the
New York Iribvne, showsf how tne
Chifcf Justice is catching it. we
make an interesting quotation. Mr.
Yates says:
"It is a long time since kny dehv-
erance on tne pan oi u "s"0"
judge has been so severely and so
generally conaemnea as jiuo uui
ming up of Lord Coleridge in the
ha-eciirat ease; and the Iprevalent
sentiment was expressed tjy a learn ¬
ed gentleman who remarked: "l nan

Lord Chief Justice was retained for
the defendants.' Another disting
uished auditor described the sums
ming.up as a supplementary speech
for the defence. Lord t Coleridge
angrily bawled out: 'Silentee; this is
not a iheatre,' when the people in
the court loudly applauded bir Ld
ward Clarke's speech; wnfereupon a
person at tne oaca oi me ruuiu re
torted: You have made ito.' The
bench certainly presented a scan
dalous siifht. all things considered,
during the trial.

n the London clubs are threatening
to expel Sir Edward Clarke because
of the way he handled the; salad-ma
Prince of Wales. Tbey callfhis brave
argument "disloyal." Stufqand chaff!
Sir Edward is a Tory, it seems, and
they pretend to think that jthe Prince
should have been dealt with very
differently. But he is a Liberal ,and
Sir Edward may have taken unusual
pleasure iu scorching the fine feath
ers of the heir apparent. The Queen
is considering what shall be done
with Sir Edward. If they j persecute

The talk in France is sto try the
aged Count de Lesseps for his, con
nection with the Panama canal
scheme that has swallowed so much
of the funds of credulous French
people. The old man misled them
and deceived them with his enthuss
iastic account ot his splendid pro
ject. But he was probably a victim
of his own infatuation and" believing
in his great scheme, he deceived
others without primarily j intending
to deceive. We would regret to see
the octogenarian prosecuted, al
though his son says it woujld do good
to the great project of his. illustrious
father. He is very poor! There is
nothing to. gain. His name will be
forever associated with the splendid
success of his life the construction
of the Suez Canal.

As an illustration of thp inability
of men to recognize werks of genius
often, the conduct of the editor of

site story of Dr. Thomas Nelson
Page, "Marse Chan," for four years
locked up before he could get cour
age and discernment enough to pub
lish it. He had a jewel m his cabi
net and did not know it. And so it
has. fared with other authors and
other critics and readers :for maga
zines. Air. rage has published a
novel within a week or two, but we
have seen no notice of it outside

This may be the "cussedest" paper

we would be to clothe the wolf in a

Is it wise for the friends of reform

reform of the tariff and put all their
strength into the aggitation in fayor
of the Sub Treasury bill, and in fayor
of the free eoinage of Silver t We
answer this question without one
moment of hesitation ; with an em
phatie negative. It is constantly
assumed by the reform press that
the tariff is not a financial measure
at all. The assumption is violent
and unfair. It is, indeed, the most
vital financial question that is now
before the people, or that can , come
before the people. Any other
measure of financial reform will be
only partial and unsatisfactory
without sush a- modification of onr
tariff system as will amount to the
entire regeneration of, our castoms

Confederate soldier.
I recall, amid scenes of wild car
naze, suddenly stumbling .with my
comrades upon a sight I shall never
forget. Surrounded by a faithful
few, a Union general (Wadsworth,
of New York.) lay dying in agony.
Instantly every Confederate cap
war instinctively doffed and the
fight was hushed until the G nerl
breathed his last. I have seen theui
lift a shattered Union soldier from
an abulance and let him down upon
the ground with the gentleness
of a woman, and heard him exclaim:

they would certainly have elected
him Governor of the State. I am

Catarrh, by scrofulous taint, to cieanse
the system of these poisons, take Ayer'a
SaraapariUa. It ministers to the needs of
every tissue of the body, dispels humors,
acids, and all impurities from the blood.1
and supplies the elements necessary to vig
orous health. This is a medicine in which
you can rely with confidence. It has, in
thousands of cases, restored health to
others, and will restore health to you.
. Frank Teson, Jr. engineer, 271 W. Fourth
St, New York city, testifies : " For the past
eight years I have been severely afflicted
with catarrh, none of the many remedies I
tried affording me any relief. My digestion
wm considerably impaired, and my sleep
disturbed by phlegm dropping into my throat.
My head, at times, became dizzy, and I was
troubled with ringing noises in the ears and
partial deafness. In September last I re
solved to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and began
at once to test Its qualities as a blood-purifier.
I have taken only four bottles ot this med
icine and am glad to testify that the symp
toms from Which I suffered are removed."
"My son now fifteen years of age was
cured of catarrh In iu worst form by the use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla." D. P. Kerr, Big

"About two years ago I received an injury
In one of my knees, which resulted In my
becoming so lame from muscular rheuma
tism that I could not move about without
the aid of a cane. After suffering for soma
months, being convinced that my blood
needed purifying, I began taking Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and my lameness was entirely
cured." Mrs. C. Williams, Hardwick, Vt.
