Published Every Thursday. SOWN TO TftE BOYCOTT! If the Force BH1 becomes a law, the present prospect of a bright and prosperous future for the South will be overcast by darkness and gloom. The bill, as is well known, has al ready passed the House and has been sent to the Senate. The "son of his grand-.daddy" who sits in the chair once filled by Washington and Jefferson and Jackson, if the bill ever reaches him, will sign it with fiendish glee. Any little lingering hope that may have been indulged in that he would display any states toapabjpi has long since been dissi pated to the four, winds he is as intense in his partisan prejudices as any ward politician ; and, besides, he has placed himself on record as in favor of this bill. The only hope, then, to defeat the bill is to do so in the Senate. And its defeat is a matter of vital import ance to the South. Every principle of self-preservation calls on us to spare no pains or labor to prevent its becoming a law. Any means to secure its defeat that are practicable and legal aught to be eagerly and promptly embraced. Bat let us be careful that our zeal does net so far outstrip our discre tion as to hurry us. into mistaken measures. A boycott of the North is threatened as a means of prevent ing its passage. gt Befor we rush in and declare for the boycott let us take a calm view of the situation and see, in the first place, if a boycott of the North is practicable; and if we find it to be practicable, then let us see if it will accomplish what it is intended to accomplish. Tele Rocket does not think it at all practicable. We are the best cus tomers the people of the North have. But does not the fact itself that we are their best customers prove that they a ro neoeasary to u ? Would ve trade with, thejn unless they sup plied, us with what we needed and pn more advantageous terms than Yfe could get it elsewhere ? It is not patriotism that causes us to trade with the North ; it is purely a mat ter of business. True it is we might cause a large number of the Northern mills to shut down by withdrawing our pat ronage from them ; but when we did to would we not be destroying the demand for our staple? We might Stop using Northern blankets and , hardware, but couldn't they quit using Southern tobacco and sugar? Suppose a merchant can make ten per cent, handling Southern goods and twenty per cent, handling North ern goods of the same kind; is he going to let a spirit of spite knock him out of that little extra profit of ten per cent. ? Not much he isn't. Are our people to be called upon to make the sacrifices and endure the privations a boycott would demand, and if they were called upon to do so, would they respond to the call, when the avowed purpose of the Vojcott is to gratify a spirit of re venge ? But supposing it were practicable and that our people were prepared to carry it out, will it have any in $uence towards defeating the bill? The boycott itself certainly would not defeat the bill, because it is pro posed only in case the bill becomes a law. It is a retaliatory measure. The fear the threat of a boycott will . inspire in the North evidently is what is expected by its. advocates to be effectual. On whom will the fear - operate ? Qn t&e manufacturers, te business meg and the laborers of the North. Among these therels said, tA he, a healthy and growing sentiment against the bill. Ought we not to try and encourage this sentiment in every way possible? Several of the leading Republican Senators are outspoken in their op- position to -the bill. Ought we. pot p endeavor to increase their, num ber? Is it not the sensible policy in us to bind by closer ties the friends we bav.q yrd,iunkeas many more as we can ? Will threats and jnjii jnidat i on acqoin pi ish tjn is ? Are friends pnaq Not ofteu. Peopli they can't be dpve ldozi? Honey catches mes?-T-vinegar floes t. TheSfcutT has lost every time a bluff-game hasl been tried. It is time to abandon that style of playing. Let us follow Vance, Mills and others of our wisest and best men, and boycott the boycott. It would be a boomerang to us. In adopting it we would cut off our nose to spite our face, and in threatening it we make enemies when we need all the friends we can get. , THE PRESS IN CONVENTION AT DURHAM. Last week witnessed the most.nota- ble gathering of editors that ever took place in North Carolina. It was peculiarly fitting that Durham should have been selected for this the largest annual meeting held bj the representatives of the Press of the State. Durham, the largest place for its size in North Carolina, probably in the South ; the young city of push and enterprise; the pioneer in the tobacco manufacturing industries; the home of more millionaire capi talists than any place of equal pop ulation in the world. When we first knew Durham it was simply a way-station, a iude and unpreten tious depot building being almost the only structure that stood here now stand splendid edifices of brick and mortar. This was just before the war when, as a Chapel Hill stu dent, we were accustomed to leave the railroad at this point and go by hack twelve miles to the Hill. Even down to 1870 it numbered only 256 inhabitants, and now its population is about 8,000. Here the Press Convention met on Wednesday of last week, 23rd inst. We had been told that Durham would place her best foot foremost for the newspaper men, but really we were not prepared for all the agreeable surprises that were in store for us. We had not thought of tho population en masse being enlisted for our entertainment, and yet it was practically thus. Its Commonwealth Club, representing the brains, influ ence and money of the city, pro vided lor a public reception in Stokes Hall on Wednesday night when Col, J. S. Carr, its leading citizen, made an address of cordial welcome which was handsomely responded to by a worthy representative of the press. The business sessions of the conven tion were held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. On Thursday night a musical en tertainment, conducted by Durham's superb artist, Miss Lessie Southgate, was given as complimentary to the Press Association. We dare say no other town in North Carolina can produce, on occasion, such an aggre gation of musical talent as was mar shaled by Miss Southgate for the pleasure of the editors. The ban quet that followed was complete in appointments ior all necessary pur poses of hilarious enjoyment, minus the usual accompaniment of liquors. It was high testimony to the sohrie ty of North Carolina editors that no liquors were supplied for the ban quet, and the fact was duly appre ciated by them. The barbecue, which was to have been dispensed on the grounds of the'Bennett place, the scene of John ston's surrender to Sherman, was prevented by rain, greatly to the re gret and disappointment of Col. Carr, through whose kindness the treat had been provided. The odd hours betwixt feasting and entertainments were filled prof itably by the editors in visiting the Black well Company's smoking to bacco factory and Ute cigarette fac tory owned by the Dukes, while the "Other enterprises of the city, em bracing a large cotton mill, were not neglected,. Altogether it was the largest con vention of editors, and the most prof itable in results, which the" N. C. Press Association has held at any time.

The canvass of Tillman and Earle inotrnnaroipm s cuiuino proof that joint political discussions a mistake. There have been joint canvasses conducted with dig nity and good feeling on both sides, That of Lincoln and Douglas was a canvass of this kind ; so also was that of Vance and Settle in this State in 187G. These, however, are mem orable exceptions. Of course the people ought to fee informed and instructed in political matters. They ought to hear both sides in order to decide intelligently as to the course they will pursue on election day ; and there is no doubt that public speaking is a very prop er and attractive way of laying po litical truth before the people. But where party feeling runs high and the blood is hot on both gides, the occasion of a joint discussion is full of possibilities in the way of riots and bloodshed. The veriest trifle may precipitate the biggest kind of a free fight. If a broken head or a black eye were all that was to be feared it would not matter so much. But in these days a man carries his arsenal along with hmi when he goes to a political speaking. The knife and the pistol are likely to play an important part in any trouble that may arise, and the num ber of good men who may be killed is an unknown quantity. Let the people have plenty o light. Let their political education be carefully looked after. Let every body who wants to, and to whom they will listen address them, Le them hear all sides. But let them hear only one side at a time. MAJ.OE BURKE The Louisiana Legislature, at its session recently closed, appropriated SI 5,000 as a reward for the capture of ex-State Treasurer Burke, who, i will be remembered, stole $340,000 of the State's money while he was V treasurer, and made good his escape to Honduras. He is out there now, i -ii' engaged in mining, and lus opera tions are said to be highly success ful. A number of detectives have lately gone to Honduras presuma bly with the intention of kidnapping Burke, bringing him back to Louis iana, and securing the reward. We do not believe in kidnapping, speaking generally, but this is a case in which we are warmly in favor of it. It is a crvinji shame that a man who ha6 stolen such an enormous sum of money should bo able to live in luxury in another country and snap ins angers at .Louisiana, wmie the poor unfortunate negro who, driven by the pangs of hunger, has stolen a chicken, or a watermelon, or a piece of meat, serves out his time in the penitentiary. Our extradi tion treaties ought to bo revised so as to cover cases like Burke's, but pending their revision we hope the detectives that went after him will get him and bring him back, and that he will receive the punishment he merits. THE WORLD'S PAIS. Chicago split her shirt to get the World's Fair. Consress cave it to her. Now she's got it, it is an ele phant on her hands. In the first place, they are having no end of trouble to get a suitablo site. And then, again, that $5,000,000 subscrip tion whieh was so potent a factor in wresting the Fair fiim New York, where it ought to have been held, dwindles down to $2,000,000 when the subscribers are called upon, to ante up the lucre. Not being able to get together the wherewithal to pay the preliminary expenses herself, wenow find Chicago whining around the treasuries of the United States and of Illinois asking for $5,000,000 from each. We don't know much about the state of finances of Illinois ; but with appropriations already made and proposed that will cause a deficit of $80,000,000-in the next year in the national treasury, we should not filing to arnt : $oruuu,uuu to tne national lia bilities unless it was for some more, urgent object than to help Chicago m this matter.
