The Democrats of North Carolina have every reason to feel proud of the .State Convention held in lialeigh last week for the purpose of nominating a State ticket, to be voted for next Nov ember. For weeks previous, through out the .State, this convention has been looked forward to with special interest, and in many instances, with some anxiety. Were those who! had always been true to Democracy, to North Carolina's besst interests, and the success of their party, to cut loose from everything which had previously bound them, and follow instead in the train of unscrupulous demagogues who would lead them into a wilderness of shame and disaster? If anxiety was felt in the hearts of the party's leaders, it was not shown in their actions, nor could tho rank and file be accused of shirking, however the result might be for them. . . The immense throng of delegates and alternates . from every county of the State in attendance at the Convention showed tim interest taken. Consider ing the great number present, the order was excellent) and while at first tho uncertainty as to the outcome of the Convention, the possible jarring of "present and bo aroused, made the vast assemblage sober, and seriously dis inclined to anything except business. I Hut as soon as it was seen that un swerving and strict Democracy would prevail, and that no scintilla of Tb.ird partyism was present, there was a re laxation, and cheerfulness which at times threatened to develop into hilarity, took possession of the entire crowd. . In the selection of ex Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis, as permanent' chairman of tho Convention, no wiser choice could have been possible. Mr. Jarvis was so well known to all present as a gentle man of honor and fairness, one who had borne in all matters a most envia bio record," that his election as chair man was a guarantee in the minds of all that justice would he impartially dealt to every one, and the dignity of the proceedings and Convention fully maintained. This opinion of Mr. Jarvis was sustained by his subsequent course of procedure as chairman of the Con vention. He gave character and dig nity to tho meeting, and all of his rulings were unquestioned. Tho spirit manifested on all sides was excellent, and in the speeches nominating and seconding the selection of candidates to tho several State offices, the tope was strong arid healthy, and well it might be, for the many candidates nominated wero a grand body of the Old North State's best citizens, thoroughly alive ik. & ntui auu iuu promo tionof its best interests. "Whatever rivalry existed between friends of the several candidates, there was no bitter ness of feeling exhibited, and once a candidate received the requisite votes for a nomination, that nomination re ceived the unqualified approval of the entiro Convention. Even the platform was adopted with out division, and while it cannot receive tho thorough endorsement of every individual, on all its planks, it will grow in favor as the. campaign proceeds, and prove in the end a plat form which will materially assist in Democratic success next November. - The ticket as nominated, is not only Democratic, but the gentlemen selected aro those who will unite the party's interests and bring it success at the polls. No trade, profession, or calling can feel slighted in the nominations made. The ticket as named at Raleigh last week is one chosen by the people of Nortli Carolina through their repre sentatives. It is not a ticket whiclf has all its strength in its first announce ncnt, but one which constantly grows in the favor of every! one. It could riot be otherwise, for toe names which apfiear on the ticket are synonymous with character, ability, honesty, and in ho represent in themselves such qualities, the citizens of North Carolina can have no fear of the future welfare ai their State. d prosperity of DON'T AM &E IT. While the Leader censures the pres rent Congress for its extravagant ex penditures, which will amount in total to but little less than t iat spent by the so-called Billion Congress, it especially criticises the action oft trying at the eleventh hour to make a display of economy by making some radical 'cuts' in the bill of appropriations for the improvement of levers, and IPar bors. and thus in a measure redeem itself in the eye3 of its constituency. There' is no reform or'econbmy in this movement. It lacks every element of a practical business method in treat ing a most important Jnatter which in no way is sectional, bt is essential to every part of this country. The out cry against the River and Harbor bill appropriations by Southern newspa- pers is very short-sifirhted and imt)o- litre. The South has less reason for complaint than any dther section in 1 regard to appropriations coming under the head of this bill, ' no matter how large the amount may be, for its ben- efits to the South cannot be estimated. What would the Gulf and Scjuth At lantic ports be to-day, if millions of dollars had not been spent jin their improvement. The, appropriations have not only brought money into the ports, to the people, j but they have attracted immigration and brought capital from other psirts of the coun try, which would notlhave come with out tho improvements. " ' The lower Cape Fear River and bar are an example of what government aid can do in creating a great water way for commercial purposes. Why should there be a complaint from this section because this same "very ab surd, extravagant .River and Harbor bill" has brought over two millions of dollars here, or because to-day the Government is keeping up the im provement on the Cape Fear River and bar, expending monthly thous ands of dollars which not only bene fits this immediate section, pecuniarily, but also attracts the attention of the world to the possibilities of this port. The South has every r3ason to heartily endorse the River and Harbor bill. It is the one bill before Congress which should meet its entire approval. If Congress would practice the economy it pieaches, it can find bills the cutting down of which would actually benefit the people. Let the pension fraud ap propriation of one hundred and forty-, seven million dollars 1 asked for next yeaiby Secretary Noble, be reduced one-half, and let the Inany thousands of dollars now. needlessly spent in Senatorial luxuries, funeral trains and eulogistic printed speeches be saved the tax-payer. The Leader approves of every hon est appropriation in the River and Harbor bill. Foolis appropriations unquestionably can bfe found among so many items of thefbLll.and it would be strange if some crookedness did not exist, bu'i to condemn the entire bill as a profligate waste of the public money and a means of political barter for votes is not warranted. , The ap propriations of the bill,even jf amount- ing to fifty million dollars, do not have to be raised by taxation and paid out in a yearj, but cover years, and the people during the time are receiving benefits as the Government pursues its work. The River and Harbor bill has created in the South interior water ways and great com mercial' ports. Its work still con tinues. The South can well afford to pay its proportionate tax for the appro priations in the bill tor it receives a full return: The Southern press has no good reason tcf side with Northern newspapers in the abuse of the River and Harbor bill; it is the one bill for which the South can cheerfully be taxed and not complain. WANTED A NEW SOCIETY. There is in Philadelphia an prgani zation called the "Indian Rights asso ciation." Its object is to "bring to bear the weight of its moral influ ence" in directing the Nations treat ment of the Indians. The history of the doings of this association illus trates: what very many Voluntary moral reform associations illustrate, viz., tho great necessitv of just one more great society ( which has not hitherto been thought of. This broad est society of them all would receive some such name as, "An Association for HoldingSoeieties for Reform Down to Business." Whenever a croun of men or women conceive that they hav tr a mission to correct the abuses of oth i iu,k( uueir enmusiasm is more than hkely to grow by the things it feeds upou, anu an enlargement of their si .here of legitimate activity often re- suits It almost seems as if the Ion g habit f looking, into the sins , and de fects of others distorts the sense of moral proportion until it makes the worse appear the better conduct and vice versa. A society for the suppression of in temperance, for instance, would be a public blessing if it would go to work and fulfil the purpose of its existence. Hut such societies commonly get to wandering down into the small details of the private lives of men and miss the only means at hand with which to accomplish their work. A temperance society which denies the right of men to visit art galleries and all places of amusement on Sunday will be sure to lose its influence when it preaches temperance. A civil service reform league whichTwill really reform the acknowledged abuses of the civil ser vice would deserve the gratitude of the Nation, but meddling with natural human rights will not do this. An Indian rights association which would insure the just treatment of the red man would be a good thing, but what may the Indian hope to profit by the influence of a society which has lost its sense of moral proportion? The"Indian Rights association" has on hand at the present moment two nterprises, one of which is great and laudable, the other which is small if not heretical. There is before Con gress a proposal to break faith again with the Southern Utes of Colorado, and to remove them forcibly from their fertile reservation in that State to an unproductive tract in Utah. If this Ms done, it will be a square abandon- ment of the policy of civilizing the In dian. The association thinks these Indians ought to be given their pres. ent lands in severalty and put a - on a career of progress by cultivating the soil, and it is makir g great efforts to bring about the defeat of a bill pro posing to send the Utes upon a soil where progress is impossible. To do a work of this sort is praiseworthy. But the same activity which is re quired to bring about a very large and proper result, the society is employing on an object which, if not unpraise worthy, is inconsequential. ;It is mem orializing the , president to induce him to forbid the public exhibition throughout the world of the Indians and their modes of life. This is de scending from the sublime to the re diculous, and illustrates a good deal of the moral reform activity of the world. What is more civilizing than travel? What can be a greater edu: cation than a trip around the world? If there were Mite folk enough in the world to patronize all the Indian shows that could be organized, it would .go far towards settling the In dian problem. Savages cannot be civilized without bringing them into contact with civilization, yet the In dian Rights association says this -is "demoralizing," if not done in its par ticular way. Detroit Xews. GREAT BRITAIN AND EGYPT An atmosphere of uncertainty still surrounds affairs in Egypt, and the insistence by Great Britain upon cer tain modifications in the Sultan's fir man of investiture may occasion serious complications. Italy, it is now said, is strongly supporting Great Britain in her demands, and doubtless France will take advantage of the strained situation to thwart the efforts to continue the present era of order and prosperity. There can be no question in regard to the benefits which have accrued to Egypt through British administration of her finances. When England as sumed control of the affairs of that country their administration by native officials was utterly corrupt, and rested simply on extortion and the bastinado. The provincial governors were dis missed and Europeans put in their places. But this did not bring about a full measure of reform. For, as the London Times very sensibly point s out in the absence of trained executive officers reforms must necessarily be carried out by a centralized, system which substitutes rules and regulations for intelligent personal administration Such a system demands increasing numbers of Europeans, and so the evil goes on. with for ultimate result a governing hierarchy, admirable no doubt and efficient, but wholly without educational influence upon the Egyp tian people. Sir Evelyn Baring, the British Plenipotentiary, now suggests that native officials should be trained to conduct the provincial administra tion, and that the time has come to create a civil service on the English model, governing strictly according to law, and forming a nursery for the administrative faculty of the nation. Such a proposition implies a strong faith in the progress of the Egyptian people. The material erowth nf th has akn lun 7u .l " isiu nuuiu me last few years. In 1884 the financial affairs of Effynt Were in A fex:rraia condition. The nrorvi m Knrr $5,000,000 for the repair oLthe ba- rage, and the improvement of irriga. Hon was accepted, and bv 1 890 matters had so greatly improved that a further sum of $4,000,000 was granted for irrigation and drainage works. In June of last year the barrage works were first turned to full account, and were found to be entirely successful. The cost to Egypt of this improve ment is about $325,000 a year, and it is calculated that for the first year the works were in full operation the cotton crop, even at the present low prices, realized 15,000,000 more than for any similar period during proceeding eleven years It would be unfortunate if progress so rapid as this should be stayed by international intrigues and jealousies.

Tarboro tytuuierner. Polk's idea is to mislead the North ern soldiers by promise of more pen sions, but the fact remains if this is done there must necessarily be an in crease of taxes on the whole country Winston Sentinel. An industrious, go ahead man, can make a living easier in North Carolina than any place in the Uuion. There are few places in the word equal to North Carolina for cheap living, good health and happiness. Mecklenlurg Times. -Southern Democrats have only to continue the unpardonably weak course of dividing among themselves,of allow ing subordinate issues to distract their councils and sap their strength, and the inflexible determination of the National Republican party to pass the force bill will be realized. Charlotte Observer. By practical politics we do not mean the machine politics of the great cities, which thrive in those sores on the body politic at the expense of a normal political conscio-usness, but practical politics in its true sense, the consideration of public questions with a view to the enforcement of one's ideas upon such questions. Fayetteville Observer. The entering wedge of a complaint that may prove fatal is ofteii a slight cold, which a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral might have cured at the commencement. It would be well, therefore, to keep the remedy within reach at all times. WILMINGTON A I) Y ERTIS EM ENT S. THE WILMINGTON, N. 0. Under New Management. ROOMS FIRST CLASS THE TOURISTS HOME.
