ctl Successor to "The Morganton Star" W. C. ERVIN, Editor & Pub'r. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.00 THURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1889. President Harrison's Message which was sent to Congress Tues- day is a very long document, and covers a wide scope of subjects as well as a big space in the news papers. Published in full, it would fill about ten columns of The Herald. A great deal of his space is devoted to a review of our rela tion with foreign countries, which in the main, are pleasant, he says. He makes the statement that at home a general condition of pros perity prevails', evidently forget ting that our western farmers are paying ten per cent, interest on their mortgages and selling their corn at 13 cents a bushel. He may, however, look at the matter from the standpoint of the fellows who hold the mortgages. He is oppos ed to lending Government funds to the banks without interest, which is right; he wants to reduce the tariff without interfering with any protected interest, which means very little of anything. He wants the tobacco tax removed, which is correct and proper; he recommends the abolition of the tax on spirits used in the arts and' in manufacture alone, which is not what his orators promised the mountain people of North Carolina by a great deal. He advises the liberal expenditure of money in coast defenses, and in the improvements of our river and harbors, has a great deal to say on the silver question, and expressed himself as afraid of the free coin age of silver. He alludes to the Field-Terry case, and recommends the passage of a law giving the Federal Court jurisdiction to try such offences as assaulting or kill ing judges, or intimidating witness es in criminal cases. He expresses himself as in favor of national aid to education, but he says : "The suggestion of a national grant in aid of education grows chiefly out of the condition and needs of the emancipated slaves and his des cendants. The relief should as far as possible, while necessarily pro ceeding on some general lines, be applied to the need that suggested it." So it would .seem that his prime object in recommending this aid is that the negro may receive the benefits of the measure, and that these funds should as far as possible be applied to the education of the neerro. His white Southern constituents who "have been howl ing for the Blair bill will scarcely relish this part of the programme mapped out by the benevolent haatk of the Government. He fevjtes some space to the political and civil rights of the negro, which he says must be protected, and while not in favor of the govern ment taking all the process of elec tions for Representatives in Con gress into its control, ne recom mends that the present laws.be strengthened and extended so as to "give the black man a free bal lot." Upon the whole, the message is a more temperate document than we expected, and it is not wanting in ability, having evidently been prepared with the utmost care and caution in every detail. Cleveland is the Democratic watchword. Wherever and when ever you get a lot of Democrats together they are bound to say something about him. The Dem ocratic members of the Fifty-first Congress in caucus assembled last Monday adopted the following ringing resolutions : We, the Dem ocratic members of the House of Representatives of the Fifty-first That Mr. Reed is an ablft man no one will deny, and that he will do the Republican party noble ser vice in his new position "no one familiar with his past record on the floor of the House can doubt. He made an elegant little speech on taking the chair in which he said he hoped that he might dis charge the duties of his office with a sense of what is due to both parties. -The trouble about this is that, judging from Mr. Reed's past utterances, if he gives the Democrats what he considers their dues they will deserve the prayers and sympathies of their friends. It is to be hoped that with that good old Christian Democrat, Dr. Milburn, to pray for him every morning for the next two years, and show him the error of his ways, he may grow up to.- be a very good sort of fellow. LATEST NEWS. There is a meeting now in- ses sion in St. Louis that bodes no good to trusts -and monopolies and their agents in Congress and in the btate L.esrisiatures. it is a big conference between the Knigfhts of Labor, the Farmers Alliance and various agricultural organizations. In a speech before the body on Monday Col. L. L. Polk, of the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance, who represents this State at the meeting said "With corn at thirteen cents per bushel and government bonds at 127 something is radically wrong. It is not overproduction that causes the trouble. There are millions of starving people in' the large cities of this country who will swear there is no overproduc tion in their homes. It is under consumption caused by the lack of the wherewithal to buy food and clothing." ' - Charlie McKesson is one U. S. Commissioner who has the courage of his convictions. It. was a com pliment to him that he was design ated by the. government to try the important cases at Marion. He saw that men who are good citizens were beine harrassed bv a bier government, having been brought up four times with no government witnesses to comfort them, and were incurring; great expense in bringing their counsel from Wash ington, and he took the bit in his teeth and continued the cases until April, sending notice to the rev enue agents that unless they were ready for trial then, he would promptly dismiss the cases. The District Attorney and all fair mind ed men must applaud his decision. The Charlotte Chronicle men tions the fact that a firm in that city has taken orders for one hun- Ex-Presiderit Davis is still a very sick man, and seems unable to rally from his attack. Bill Alexander, the Charlotte burglar, who was sentenced to be hanged to-day, has been reprieved by the Governor until Jan.-3rd. There is a big snow blockade in the North West. At one point in Indiana twenty four trains were stuck in snow drifts three feet deep. J. G. Shannonhouse & Co., deal ers in agricultural implements, have made an assignment at Char lotte, with liabilities of $15,000, and assets of nominally equal value. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage is traveling in the orient, and preach ed last Sunday, Dec. 1st in Joppa, taking as his text Acts IX, 39. His entire sermon was telegraph ed to the big American dailies. An eleven year old son of Sheriff Wheeler, of Guilford county, while out hunting last Saturday, ac cidently shot himself, while cross ing a log. The back of his skull was torn away and he died instantly. Rev. W. H. Milburn, the "Blind Man Eloquent," was re-elected chaplain of the House of Repres entatives last Monday,, beating Rev. Chas. B. Ramsdell, the Repu blican, caucus nominee. Several Republicans voted with the Dem ocrats, and thus ..secured his election. At Lynn, Mass., last Friday Professor Sartelle, who had been erivinsr dime shows, handed a trick gun to one of the audience and asked him to fire at his head. At the report of the gun Sartelle fell dead, shot through the neck. It is thought that he wished to be killed. Wm. Fore, who was convicted of the murder of Lunsford in Ashe- ville last week, has been granted a new trial on the ground that friends of the deceased put up a jo6 on the defendant's counsel and got two men on the jury who had said before that the prisoner ought to be hung. In the case of Berry who was tried for killing young Bell, there was a mistrial. A daughter of Judge Allen G. Thurman was married in San Diego, Cal., last Saturday to a man named Gifford after having been divorced for only one week from her former husband, Lieu tenant Wm. S. Cpwles of the U. S. Navy. There were 22 guests at the banquet and 32 quarts of champaign besides a quantity of light wines were consumed. The Halfields and McCoys are still a terror in Eastern Kentucky. Judge Lilly and Commonwealth's attorney Marrs have both been threatened with death, and have refused to hold courts in certain counties where they fear being shot from ambush. Judge Lilly is now holding court in Whites burg, and had to go 150 miles out of his way to reach the court rather than pass through some of the counties in which the Halfields reign supreme.

This would indicate that there is lots and cords of money in the State yet, and that being the case there is no reason why everybody should not pay for a good family news paper at one dollar a year in ad vance. Mow is the time to sub scribe. A member of the Morganton bar, who was at Madison court, tells us a prominent young lawyer of Hendersonville,killed a man named Furman Forest in that town. The "difficulty grew out of a trial in which Mr. Posey appeared against Forest, and after the trial was over the altercation was renewed, and in the fight which ensued Posey shot Forest twice in the breast killing him instantly.
