features" of these birds. The cor
morant has an extra spread of web
bmg between his four toes, being, in
the language of the natural history,
toUpalmate, or full webbed, while the
grebes are merely lobe footed-a littl
webbing on each toe. Even in lower
animal life nature bestows abundance
on same of her children and handicaps
others. v
Here, too, is the Jaeger, or hunting
iu, not a fisherman, but living on fish,
which he obtains in the same way as
some men obtain a llving-by taking
It from others. When he sees the
fisher gull rise from the waters with
a live morsel he gives chase till the
rightful owner drops it; then he dashes
down and grabs it midair before it
can strike water. The bald eagle here
is the same sort of bird. He sits on a
limb till a fishhawk makes a catch,
then ou swift wing soon claims the
mouthful for himself. No doubt he
goes home and tells what a great
fisherman he is. A highwayman usual
ly has other faults. Therefore, my chil
dren, give in credence to fish stories
told by bald eagles.
Did you ever connect algret, that
beautiful and delicate filamentary
whlre featber which stands up so
straight in milady's hat, with egret, the
white heron? In North Carolina's ex
hibit of herons are the great white
egret and tLe liitle egret, or snowy her
on. Aigrets were in such demand that
these beautiful birds became almost ex
tinct. Egrets are now protected by law
in North Carolina and re again seen
with more frequency. All herons have
aisrret dec-orations of some sort some
where, but the white ones are most
sought after.
I cannot drop the herons till I call
your attention to the bigness of the
Leron family, from the big blue heron
turee feet tall, with a wing spread of
six feet, to the least bittern but ten
inches high and weighing but an ounce
or two. Eleven kinds are here shown
i i o:!; case. The wood ibis is a full
yard hit:!i and finely feathered.
I was an intense admirer of the sand
piper when a small boy. He is fleet of
foot and quick of wing and the best ex
ample of alertness that one meets along
the shore. He has an ungraceful bob,
and his legs are so thin as to be almost
invisible at the distance which he
deems safe, but he is trim and lithe,
and his little piping note lends romance
to shore life. One does not easily for
get his boyhood associates, these birds
of the beach ad marsh all reminiscent
of boyhood and vacation days, the
snipes and rails and the blackbirds
with scratchy notes counterfeit notes,
in fact. The purple gallinule has per
haps the richest plumage of the Caro
lina birds, a color note that would be
brilliant on any landscape.
The oyster catcher is so named be
cause be lias not merely a taste for
shellfish, but a chisel bill with perpen
dicular blade with which to open not
oysters, but the weaker bivalves. The
turnstone is a beach bird which gets its
living by turning small stones along the
shore and eating the insects that
thought themselves safe in such seclusion.

If you have had sora on toast at any
swell restaurant or cafe you will at
once recognize this one among the Car

reedbird or bobolink, their names of
ten get mixed on the menu, as their
bodies do in the chef's kitchen.

Perhaps we need no warning that we
do not always get canvasback duck
when it is on the bill of fare. North
Carolina, one of the favored homes of
this epicurean delicacy, includes twenty-four
kinds of ducks in her game
bird display, but the canvasback is
king among them, the best and, of
course, the scarcest one of the highest
priced edibles found in an American
market.
Five varieties of wild geese are in

wouldn't be strange if the name of the

just call him a Chefu. He will appre

This is a pen picture by a correspond

Japanese soldiers:
"The "Japanese division was In the
town, there was no doubt of it, but
not even a bugle broke the compara

streets to see what had become of
these unusual soldiers. I found them
in the shadows of verandas, within the
shelter of gardens and compounds,
resting or fooking their food by little

New York. Oct. 21. Attracted bv
the presence of Grover Cleveland,
thousands of people struggled to
gain entrance to Carnetne Hall to-
rngut, where the former President of
the United States made his first and
only speech of the campaign.
John O. Carlisle. Secretary of the
Treasury under Mr. Cleveland, was
also a speaker, and shared with Mr.
Cleveland the great burst' of enthusi
asm at the meeting.
Long before the doors of the hall
were opened crowds sunred around
the outside of the building, and within
ten minutes after the doors had been
thrown wide to the public every seat
in the bir auditorium was taken.
while corridors and aisles held their
scores.
Still hundreds were unable to gain
entrance.
This big Democratic rally was
under the auspices of the Business
Men's Parker acrl Davis Association.
and J. Hampden Robb, president of
tne organization, presided.
The former President was chair
man of the meeting, and in intro
ducing hun Mr. Robb said:
"A most eminentand distinguished
citizen and Democrat will be your
chairman. Lis words and his deeds
are known in every corner of this
Union. He is one of our great Amer
icans Grover Cleveland."
Mr. Cleveland's Speech.
, Mr. Cleveland then began his speech,
saying:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: There are
at least two reasons why I am grati
fied by the opportunity to partici
pate in this occasion. It permits me
to breathe the pleasant atmosphere
of resolute and harmonious Demo
cracy; and, in addition, it allows me
to meet face to face in such an at
mosphere those who largely repre
sent the business interests of the city
of New York, and who besides are
patriotic enough to recognize the ob
ligation they owe to their country as
well as to their business.
'It would be strange if 1 did not
recall at this moment with deep sen
sibility the days in the past and the
previous political campaigns, when I
knew what it was to have the gener
ous support of the business men of
New York, and if I did not remember
in these surroundings the sustaining
power of their approval and confi
dence amid the perplexing labors of
high official duty. - You will not, I
know, accuse me of self-conceit if I
assume that I am with those tonight
who demand of me no explanation
or apology for the manner in which
I have served either my party or the
business interests of my country,
and who will neither discredit nor
distrust me when I avow my intense
anxiety for the success, in the pend
ing political campaign, of the prin
ciples and nominees of the reunited
Democracy.
Potency of the. Democratic
Principles.
"My attachment to the party which
won my early allegiance has been in
tensified with passing years, because
I have found m the principles Irom
which genuine Democracy has de
rived its life and vigor, safe guidance
and constant inspiration, when, as a
public servant, I owed to my fellow
countrymen patriotic effort and un
sparing devotion to the people's
trust. But the principles and best
traits of the Democratic party reach
their highest importance and value
at such a time as this, when our peo
ple are tempted by glittering delu
sions, and when they are offered the
kingdoms of the world if they will
but throw themselves down and wor
ship the god of Mammon. I believe
we have fallen upon days when, more
than ever, the enforcement of Demo
cratic doctrine and the acceptation
of Democratic conservatism and
steadiness are needed, if our national
o-reatness and the well-being of our
people are to be put beyond jeop
ardy. "It is not for me to discuss on this
occasion the Democratic creed, or to
deal at large with the issues involved
in the present campaign. We are
here to listen to one who stands in
the front rank of those who expound
the Democratic party faith.
Depths of Party Arrogance.
"There are, however, in my mind
tonight, some aspects and incidents
of this campaign which seem to me
so startling and so humiliating that
they should arrest the attention of
everv thoughful citizen and arouse
the anxious solicitude of every patri
otic American. In a country like
ours, where parties contest for the
direction of the government, we must,
of course, expect party advocacy
' . - . 1
and honorable personal ambitions
IOr pOllllCai IlUIiOri, UUL nuumwuj,
those indulging in the farthest retro
spect of political campaigns, can re
call one in which the advantages of
present party control have been so
now shamelessly to assume that the
time has arrived when popular heed
lessness or dullness will permit boast
ing and reckless assertion to pass for
truth and reason. If this assump
tion is justified there can be no doubt
that the sober and responsible politi
cal thought and watchful ness, upon
which the true intent and purpose of
our government depends, are in
grievous peril. If, on the oilier hand,
this assumption is viciously unwar
ranted, it is an insult to American
manliness which should arouse
prompt and effective resentmentr
Infallibility and Supercilious
ness. "Never before have our people been
so belabored with party deliverances,
which, in every line and every word,
from platform declarations to the
last appeal of party advocacy are so
saturated with conceited and tire
some claims of infallibility, and with
supercilious disdain of all political
efforts except such as are attempted
under the banner of Republicanism.
Shall this pass current at a time
when, at the parting of the ways in
our nation's development we are
especialhy called to patriotic thought
fulness and careful contemplation of
party designs and to a vigilant
watch against dangers that beset us?
My faith in my countrymen will not
permit me to believe this, or to doubt
that they will insist upon examining
for themselves the accounts of party
stewardship.
"They know that their country's
prosperity, like the rains of Heaven
which freshen and beautify the orna
mental lawn and at the same time
make productive the farm and gar
den, should be distributed among all
the people in every station of life;
and they will challenge the claim of
a party which boasts of a prosperity
it has wrought which gives to its
pampered favorites added opportun
ities to increase their riches, while
the poor and those who toil wait like
Lazarus to be fed from the crumbs
which fall from the rich man's table.
How Credit Must Be Won.
"The party will be given just credit
which, early or late, has endeavored
to safeguard the soundness of the
nation's currency; but the people will
reject as savoring oi presumption
the insistence that onlv those belong
ing to one partv organization cau
claim to be the protectors and de
fenders of our financial integrity ; nor
will they forget that the fight was
hotlv on when many of the leaders
of the party now making such an in
sistence were worse than lukewarm
in the cause.
"A partv may indulge in self-con
gratulation when it has effectively
defended the people in their daily life
from the rapacity of trusts and com
binations, which thrive fis private
enterprise is strangled, and which
grow fat, as by their control of the
cost of living, they cause the homes
of our land to grow lean; but the
people will hardly approve the
vociferous pride which claims that a
successful attack upon the merger of
the stock of certain competing rail
roads has rescued them from their
oppressors. They will not fail to ob
serve that the huge combinations
which directly injure them still flour
ish, and they may also recall how the
consternation among those impli
cated in such schemes who once feared
a general pursuit was quieted when
the soothing assurance reached them
that the government did not intend
to 'run amuck. Nor will they prob
ably accept the suggestion that re
pentance or a change of heart ac
counts for the manner bv which the
threats and animosity of many
powerful trust magnates have been
displaced by their approval and sub
stantial support of the party which
seeks to, convince the people of its
trust-destroying proclivities.
Some Platform Claims.
This item of the account will not
be passed over without a reference to
the platform statement that 'pro
tection, which guards and develops
our industries, is a cardinal policy of
the Republican party,' nor without
noting the declaration of the candi
date standing on this platform, that
the protective tariff policy ought
now to be considered as 'definitely
established.' The question will be
asked, which are the American in
dustries that at this time are in need
of the shelter of such a tariff as that
now iu force; and is there never to be
a time when American enterprise.
American ingenuity, and American
opportunity will free our industries
from their stage of infancy and per
mit Auieiiuuu usuiruLiuii aim dmen-
can seir-reiiance to cast away the
leading strings of a 'definitely estab
lished' protective policy? The peo
ple know that this policy has given
rise t o reckless greed and to a wor
ship of gain, menacing patriotic
sentiment and our love for high
standards of national greatness, and
thev know that at best it lays bur
dens on the consumers of our land.
"With these tendencies and these
burdens in miud they will ask the
partv pro'essiag its anxiety to re
strain or destroy harmful combina
tions, why a protective tariff policy
should be considered definitely es
tablished, which, in addition to its
other sins, contributes to a situation
that permits a combination or mo
nopoly to sell abroad articles of our
manufacture at lower prices than are
exacted from our own citizens at
home. They will see the sheer wrong
fulness of this condition so clearly
and they will so firnilv believe that
in this way the3r are made to bear
tariff burdens in order that they
may be discriminated against in
favor of foreign consumers that they
will not be satisfied with the assur
ance that the tariff has nothing to
do with trusts. They will consign
such an explantion to the limbo of
States while engaged in the subjuga
tion of a people thousands of mile
from our shores, whom an incident
of a war undertaken by us in aid of
those struggling for liberty and in
dependence in another quarter, had
put within our power; and the peo
ple win ask under what sanction
was this subjugation entered upon
by a nation pledged to the doctrine
that all just powers of government
are derived from the consent of the
governed; and they will deny that
imperialism and our forcible rule of
foreign people have any place among
the purposes of our national life.
"Whem credit is claimed for secur
ing a route for a long-desired inter
oceanic waterway, it will not be in a
carping spirit that the people will
look at the incidents accompanying
this achievement. They do not un
dervalue the object gained, but they
keenly appreciate the importance
and value of our national houor.our
national good name, and, above, all,
our national morality. Not even !
the great worth of the thing accom-1
plished will close theeyes of thought
ful Americans to the fact that in
reaching the results we have exhibit
ed such international rutulessness
and such selfish international im
morality as have lastingly debilita
ted our reputation for good faith,
and established a precedent which,
in time to come, may be invoked to
justify the most startling and repre
hensible abandonment of the high
ideals which have made us an ex
ample of the best civilization a peo
ple, happy as we are intelligently
free, strong as we are scrupulously
just, and everywhere trusted and
honored as we undeviatingly follow
in the way of uprightness and recti
tude. Misleading Claims to Support.
-"I have ventured to suggest the
misleading purpo.se of the vainglori
ous claims made by a party organi
zation which seeks a continuance of
political control, and to intimate
the humiliating estimate of our peo
ple s intelligence and partiotic vigi
lance which the exploitation of these
claims involve. It is surely not nar
row partisanship which prompts me
to entreat my countrymen to hold
fast and sure their independence of
thought and their courage in judg
ment; nor do I speak in a tone of
partisanship when 1 beg them to re
member that the true greatness and
glory of our nation cannot safely
rest upon wealth which finds its way
to the few at the expense of the many;
nor upon such imxterial success as
"I do speak, however, as a Demo- !
crat attached to Democratic prinei- i
pies and anxious for the ascendancy
of my party when I congratulate the
Democracy of our country upon the
clear and satisfying statements in
our party platform and upon the
manner in which its doctrines are
personified by our candidates. We
pledge to our countrymen, through
our platform, rest, genuine prosperi
ty, safety, and a return to the way
marked out by theConititution; au'd
we promise, through our candidates,
that, if it is the people's will, our
platform shall be carried out and
that under our governmental man
agement Democratic conservatism
and care shall rule the natioual
council to the exclusion of rash im
pulse and spectacular demonstra
tion. "I desire to congratulate you, my
old neighbors, and the citizens of
what 1 love to call my old State,
upon the fact that what Alton If.
Parker is and what he represents in
the nation, D. Cady Herrick is, and
represents, in our State. The time
has arrived when there is needed at
the head of our State government a
man as able, as fearless, and as in
corruptible as 1 knowyourcandidate
for governor to be.
"Let us hope that the day is near
when all our people, having a correct
appreciation of the value of the free
institutions which God has vouch
safed to them, and animated by the
spirit of true patriotism, may see
their highest duty in continually
guarding and defending these institu
tions against the decay which comes
of undermining materialism, and the
perversion which comes of disobedi
ence to the laws of our national life
aud health."
During his speech Mr. Cleveland
was loudly applauded, at times being
interrupted for some minutes. His
statement that there was no necessity
for him to apologize for his party
in t he deeds of the Democracy caused
tremendous cheers of approval. At
his mention of the name of Alton Ii.
Parker near the end of his speech the
audience arose as one man, and the
cheering lasted several minutes. The
reference to Justice D. Cady Herrick
immediately afterward caused loud
applause. At the conclusion of his
speech Mr. Cleveland was greeted
with a ovation more spontaneous
than at any time during theevening.

Warning to White Men.
Goldsboro Argus.
White men, you cannot afford to
be indifferent about the result of this
election. How many of vou would
like to see a gang of rowdy negroes
voting again in Wayne county?
Well, that is just what the Republi
can party in Wayne county is trying
to do. It is as plain as the bright
sunshine on this October day that
the Republicans are trying to cap
ture the Legislature so that they can
amend the election law, get hold of
the election machinery and allow
many thousands of negroes to vote
again, lhen we would have negro
magistrates, just like we had a few
years ago and negro school commit-1
teemen over white schools. These
are the facts. Let the white men and
white men of Wayne county think of
these tilings.
That Watch Of

have. You need clean

and so does your watch. About once
a year the proposition of cleaning
and oiling that watch comes up. It's
then that 'ou want to think of us.
The treatment accorded a watch is
just the same whether it is the le.t
or the poorest niakv that is, the
best attention is given it. tVg aro
