Salisbury, N. C. under the act at
Congress of March 3, 1879. j
The country can ill afford to lod
" a man of the fine accomplishments,
possessed by Secretary Kay. Ve
hope the man to fill his place is m
waiting. But to really believe th
5
such a man is ready is a severe tak
upon those who know and appreciate
the virtues and high excellencies-.c f
if
this really great man. i i
Most people who know Mr
W. H-4
Bower will be surprised at his
parture from the Democratic
party
reteJi
The hope of the party is its
tion of men of breadth and sensibl
li
independence. It looks very much
like the failure to get office was th
straw that broke the camel's back
.Nobody can quite run away with
the press of the State. T
True, there are a limited number
who will open on whatever trail th;
- i
strike dog bawls on, but , the great
majority of newspapers in the Stat i
i i
will be found standing on safe con
servative ground, regardless of whaL
the issue may be. j
Plenty who will criticise Mr. Bovi
er for changing his political! affilia
tion would do the same thing if
' i
they should loose their office as h 3
' - - !
did. A man fifty years old must b i
' ! i
careful about engaging in new bus -'
i ; j
ness; of any sort. He will find no
ring for his hand; no fatted calf and
no rejoicing over his presence in the
Republican camps. .
uoi. ijower is not tne sort of game
the party is hunting. The Republican'
party has all the sensible men it
managers want. What they desire ik
a whole lot of fools to vote for those
who want to hold the offices
Apropos of nothing as the
saying
goes we are minded to remark that
no paper in the State has! shown
withirTHhe same length of time the
degree of Improvement that has
marked the progress of the Winston
Salem Journal within the past three
months. It is a tip-top morning dail
Mr. Follin is buckling to his work
and the work he is turning out is o

We copy the above with our hearty
concurrence. J
The . Journal is one of the papers
we search or, if it gets out of thej
way. -
If Dr. Ivey should wisely stori
where he is in the Raleigh discussion
of those brim stone . finds, j which
have appeared at the capital of our
i i
State, he has at least demonstrated,
what people may with profit note
He has shown wha influence a reli
gious paper, which has preserved ita
own integrity carries with its' utter
ances. If Dr. Ivey had been in the
habit of swapping tobacco j with
scheming politicians and trading his:
editorial, space for any oldl thing
to promote personal ambition and
doubtful enterprises, nobody j would
have cared what he thought,! not
-what he said on this matter, nor anjj
other. ' !
We Celebrate the Fourth
This paper will not appear tomor-
row, the 4th of July. We may have
too many holidays, as some one has j
remarked But .we believe L
this
day
ought to be ob
served, to do honor to that great
event, the launching of the indepen
dence of the greatest nation upon the
face of the earth. Nations have from
their, earliest' history recognized the
wisdom of erecting monuuiehts to
great men, in order that their
memory and their patriotic deeds
mis;ht abide in the hearts of tchir
'posterity. That this is wise and use-
ful, ha& been confirmed by an atun:
dance of examples of both Biblical
and: profane history, The Greeks
and thr Romans had stated times,
(Which by songs and by oratory they
j called attention to the great victories
and magnificent achievements of
their soldiers and statesmen. God
himself was pleased when his
servants stopped to rear stones and
monuments which marked their prog
ress in subduing the world, and in
pulling down the strong holds of Sa
tan. May we not stop for a day, andj
retrace the rugged paths by which
we have reached our present noble
heights of progrss and prosperity as
the world's greatest nation? Let
us kindle anew the fires of patriotic
devotion, by honoring the event
which started us upon this splendid
voyage to our national greatness. It
j is , well for our young men to realize
jthat true devotion to one's country.
the highest examples of patriot
ism, may be expressed in other ways,
than by the roaring of cannons and
bythe flashing of swords. Men may
be great in peace as well as in war.
The events which tomorrow- shall
call to mind are many; and various.
It suggests not only freedom from
political, and social oppression, but;
it may also call to our minds the
blessings which came with religious
liberty and Individual manhood.
It was the beginning of Religious
liberty, as well as jot political free
dom. It changed the rude wigwams
of a wilderness into Christian homes
and magnificent mansions. If. was
the event which drove out the worth
less savage and left in his stead a
great race of noble men and virtuous
women. It" , brought ' intellectual
light and material progress where
once were stupid ignorance, and vi
cious idleness. In short, a great na
tion was born the splendid possibil
ities of which hath not yet appeared.
These are a few of the thoughts
which can inspire our thoughts and
elevate our aims and purposes for
the future. i
It is with these . thoughts in mind,
that we lock cur machine and let the
boys have a day off.
CHINESE BOYCOTT GROWS
I American Manufacturers Threatened
With a Heavy Loss
The advices to the State Depart
ment shows ' that the agitaion in
China against American trade on ac
count of the rigid enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion law by this gov
ernment has -reached a serious phase.
In fact, it is -now openly admitted
that the danger to commercial j rela
tions between this country and China
has become a question of immediate
concern and must be adjusted prompt
ly to the satisfaction of' the Chinese
government and the native business
interests in the empire to prevent a
considrable money loss to American
manufacturers, shippers, and carriers
It was learned the other day that
the president, realizing the Import
ance of the situation, and Sharing
the view that the Chinese -have just
cause for complaint had sent assur
ances to the Chinesa j government
that he would do his utmost to have
congress modify the exclusion ? law.
But congress wil not meet for many
months, "and will hardly be able to
give attention to the matter until
the beginning of the year, and in he
meanime the boycott idea is gx owing
in China and the other portions of
Asia where certain American goods
have a, large sale.
