The Board of Justi&es met on last Monday, agreeable to appointment of law, for the purpose of assisting in the I jassessment of the tax levy and foi: electing County Commis sioners; to serve lor the two years succeeding next December.

McRae, Mc doubtless keep posted as to Wad-, dell's appointments and give him undisputed possession of the field. Mr. Blaine has written ; another letter (published on our fourth page) which sets at rest all doubt as to his candidacy for the Republican nom ination at Chicago. He does not desire the nomination and would probably not accept it upon any conditions. His declination will cause confusion in his party and pre cipitate a hot. fight for the place, but the Northern papers are very unan imous- in the opinion that Gresham or Depew will carry off the prize. The National Democratic Conven tion is in session in St. Louis. At this writing (Tuesday) we have no information further than that every section of the country is fully rep resented and that from every quar ter comes the demand that Cleve land be re-nominated. We have no doubt tbatihe will be (or has already been) nominated by acclamation, and. he will lead the Democratic hosts to a glorious victory. No Re publican "need apply" for the posi tion of President as against Cleve land. The Mills tariff bill is again up for consideration before the House, under the five minutes rule. At the rate at which substitutes, amend ments, etc., are being tacked on to it is to rally to a man to the banner that floats over it. The banner has inscribed upon its folds the continu ed supremacy of the white man in this white man's country, honesty, economy and efficiency in the ad ministration of public affairs and pa triotic devotion to the interests of all the people. Let but such enthusiasm and determination to win prevail throughout the ranks of the party as was shown by the party's leaders in the nominating convention and all will be well. The State is natu rally Democratic by a large major ity. All that is necessary to insure continued success is for every vote to be got to the polls. Every Democrat, therefore, who has at heart the wel fare of his State should constitute himself a committee of one to bring about this result Radicalism with its enormities, its extravagance, its fallacies, its public plunder, has been put away from us through Democratic success, but there is danger of its return. It works quietly but insidiously and but recently came near wresting from us the con trol of the legislature. We are still too near the danger line to afford any risk through lethargy or too great confidence. Let us beware. Let us take warning in time. Let us work for the maintenance of ood government while work will tell, and let us, by estimating the enemy at his strongest and preparing to meet him accordingly, make sure the victory which the admirable ticket that has been nominated makes the easier to gain.

The Wilmington Star of the 25th contained a timely and well written editorial on journalism as a profes sion. We . copy a paragraph. It says,: s Journalism offers a poor field for promotion for a living in fact. It is a profession that creates other men, but does not particularly help the creator. The editorial room is not a good stepping-stone to higher po sition. That is our observation through forty years. You, will be called upon constantly to aid other men in obtaining otnee, who are per haps unfit for the preferment and are immeasurably below ones-self in all that constitutes an enlightened, qualified, well furnished citizen. We have never been acquainted with an editor of superior qualities who was not poor. He is forced through life to work like a pack-horse or like the galley-slave, and then drop into the grave unappreciated, uncared for, "unwept, unhonored and unsung." If you should aspire to some high place according to the standard of men of the world you are regarded with suspicion and as an interloper. Gov.
