, JK3Nov is the time for the friends
fo the Truth to pay up, and exert
themselves to get other cash paying
subscribers. We are having a des
perate struggle to give our people a
good paper.
Both the old parties are crowing
over the result of the late elections.
Easily satisfied!
Kay we tninK our Dusiness men
will find our paper an excellent me
dium throngh which to present their
business to our people. When they
take into consideration the price o
advertising and number of circula
tion, we know that we offer as favor
able facilities as any other paper here
or elsewhere. Many of the bast men
in thecountry are taking the paper,
and are pleased with it, and are as
sisting in giving it ft good circula
tion. It will continue to be just
what it has been as long as our
friends respond promptly to our
terms. We ask nothing that we do
not give value received for.
FALSE PARTY SPIRIT.
True party rpirit seeks to make
the party an agency for promoting
the public good.
False party spirit seeks to make
voters sustain the party when it is
wrong,
Tha hahlf nf vntinnf fnr tVia -rrt -f it
"right or wrong," offers a powerful
Inducement to selfish and corrupt
leaders to use it for their own ad
vantage. In the sermon of Rev. Chr.iies F,
"nAvwn e "X ' -7-l 1 J. rl
,iwius, ui mew i oris, on iasc oun
'day, the eminent divine said he
re-
garueu me ooiioc as "tne sacrment
of liberty."
Republicans in North Carolina are
just now particularly active. When
ever you see two of them together
you may be certain that they are
talking politics. With Democrats
they talk of business, farming, and
sometimes even of religion, but
whenever they get off together they
drift into politics- Politics is their
business, and they pursue it with an
earnestness which would win them
success in any other line of activity.
Their conception of politics is, how
ever, with all of their talk andstudy,
a very narrow one. How to beat the
Demmocrats and get the office is the
extent of their enquiry. Goldsboro
Argus.
That is exactly a eorreet descrip
tion of what is called the Democratic
parly. Never did a party exist so
bent on getting the offices, if possi
ble. The record of the last four
years is an . accumulative evidence
of the truth of this assertion What
a pitty that some people and some
papers can't see themselves as oth
ers see them.
What the Argus says is about true
of 4he Republican party. But, is it
truthful and honest to say by impli
cation even that one party is worse
than the other when the facts do not
justify it? The sin of lying is, just
as great when done by implication
or omission as when done without
attempted disguise.
Tno Anarhists have at last been
disposed of. One, Engel, cheated
the gallows by blowing off the top
of his own head with a dynamite
candle before the day of execution.
Spies, Parsons, Fischer, and Liugg
were hanged, and Schwab and Field
en were imprisoned for life at hard
labor. The country will npw breathe
freer since these foreign tramps have
been justly punished for their crimes.
ud tn e wovld ha3 been shown that
. , ... ,
the judgments of our courts will be
executed.
But the question now is, why ai-
low these scoundrels, fresh from the
despotisms of Europe, to come here
and eo on, step by step, in their ef
forts to revolutionize our free insti
tutions, teach sedition, anarchy, in
cendiarism, and murder until the
lives, and liberty, and property of
crood citizens have been placed in
jeopardy, before steps are taken to
suppress them?
No man, uuder the plea of personal
liberty, or the constitutional right
of free speech, has the right to do
wrong wrong to others. Personal
liberty does not mean the 'right of
any, person to do anything that
would conflict with the inalieable
rights and privileges of his neighbor.
or any other person. Neither does
the right of .free speech carry with it
the right to teach treason, anarchy,
arson, or murder. Personal liberty
and the right of free speech both
end where crime beerins. Whatever
is a public nuisauce or common evil
may be prohibited by thecommuni
ty for the best good of all if it so de
sires. First determine what is p
nuisance, after which, a majority
may abate it, if they will. This is
an underlying principle of Republi
can government, which "must be
obeyed or good order cannot be
maintained. Society is organized,
or is professed to be, for the protec
tion and best good of all concerned,
and as it is not expected or even pos
sible for all to perfectly agree, it is
consented that a'majority shall de
termine all questions. Tf the "ma
jority" becomes unjust and oppress
ive, discussion and exposure are ex
pected to bring reform and relief.
If this should fail, then a resort to
revolution is deemed justifiable len
der the law, or rule of nations.
But in no case can a handful of
reckless, bad men he justified in
uttering1 incendiary language and in
advocating murder for supposed or
e:u lirjeya nces ; nor suuum mey oe

Uowed to do so. Much less should
such conduct be permitted in those
ho are unacquainted with our laws
and institutions. Native born citi-
s must be 21 years of age before
ey are all owed to vote; but a foreign
er, ivesii irom tne despotism oi tne
old world, and as ignore nt of our free
institutions as a baby, may come
here and in a few years, vote, hold
office, and force his crude notions of
government and liberty down our
people's throats. Reforms are badly,
needed in these matters.
A DISAPPOINTED PEOPL.E -
WHO WILL SUFFER?
Nevr-Berue Journal, Dein.
The New York World, in reading
a lesson to tne political Dosses and
machines that control the nomina-
A A A M t m
tions oi tnai city, says: "The more
independence there is on the part of
tne people, tne greater safety there
will oe against bad nominations for
public offices." We take this as lit
erally true not only in New York
but elsewhere and we embrace the
opportunity now of informing the
Democratic party of JNorth Carolina
that this spirit of independence is
growing in the Eastern section.
If we are asked why this is so, we
answer unhesitatingly that they are
sorely disappointed in their present
Governor. The fact might as well
be known now as at any time that
there are thousands of Democrtts in
Eastern North Carolina who regard
the development of this section, the
success of their business and the ad
vancement of their material interest
as paramount to the success of any
party. e are not giving this as a
"threat," but simply stating facts.

THREE THINGS SETTLED.
The result of the election in this
State settles three points as thor
ough ty as any political event can be ,
nciiicu lu auvbiiue;
President Cleveland wHl be re
nominated by his party.
Mr. Blaine will not be renominated
by the Republicans.
Mr. George will not control the
election next year.
New York is , the pivotal State.
Mr. Cleveland's friends have had a
complete triumph. They are enti
tled to the fruits of the victory.
Gi'over Clevelaand is indeed a
lucky man; and Jamqs G, Blaine
may belaid to be a dead cock in the
pit. New York World.
The Advance is firmly convicted
that success in North Carolina next
year is involved in more doubt than
has been the case in mauv a vear.
The people have expected bis: thinsrs
of National Democratic success and
they have in a measure been disap
pointed. They expected that the
whole Jnterual.Iievenue would be
repealed immediately. That has
not been done. Wilson Advance.
THE ANARCHISTS' CASES.
It is impossible to imagine any-
thiug more atrocious than the doc
trines of these vagabonds or any
thing more deliberately fiendish than
the crime for which they are under
sentence of death. Idle, beer-guz-
zling ruffians, they hold that nobody
has a right to have any more
than they have, and thev
proceed to defy the laws of this
country, which guarantee a citizen
peacable possession of his honest
earnings, and to murder the execu
tors of these law3. They assemble
in a populous part of a great city and
through their orators . pronounce
curses upon the laws of the land and
upon its officers. Policemen, having
knowledge that it is an armed gath
ering, interfere to stop the inflam
matory harangues before the igno
rant and vicious mob is worked into
a fury which will result in fire, riot
and bloodshed, when, by a prear
ai t i
ranged plan, at tne given signal, a
dynamite bomb is thrown into the
midst of these guardians of the pub
lic peace, carrying sudden death with
it. And now, as our correspondent
says, instead of regarding then
selves, as in all consistency they
should, martvrs in a glorious cause,
they exhaust every technicality of
the laws they despise and trample
under foot, in the effort to avert
their penalties, and cower be
fore the Governor of Illinoise beg
ging for that mercy they denied to
others.
What guarantee have we of the
continued reign of law and order in
mis country 11 tnese "vulgar mur
derers" are not hanged? The crim
inal code may as well be repealed if
a crime as cruel as this one is not
visited with condign punishment,
it is noteworthy that only one
of these ruffians is a native-born
American. Our ports are open to
the people of all the world except
the most orderly in the world, the
Chinese. It was an early boast that
America was "the haven for the op
pressed of every clime." It has
come to this, as our able New York
correspondence felicituously put it in
a letter a few months ago, that a
class of foreigners come to our shores
from the midst of poverty, slavish
ness and degradation unspeakable,
and no sooner they land than they
want the earth. They never before
knew what liberty means, and as
eoon as they begin to enjoy it they
begin to abuse it. Before they can
speaktthd language or have even
been naturalized they set up in bus
iness as champions of "labor," and
seek to put the whole country under
contribution. They despise the laws
under which they enjoy a liberty
they do not deserve and cannot ap
preciate and set them at defiance.
It is time this vicious class were
made tc feel the rigors of those laws.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
An outrageous assult. was perpe
trated last Wednesday night by two
negro ruffians on Mrs. Ada Sellers,
respectable white womau living on
Thirteenth between Market and
Mea'dow streets. Mrs. Sellers lives
alone her husband being in Savan
nah,Ga. She was aroused late in the
night by the negroes, who demanded
with oaths and threats that the door
should be opened. The frightened
woman ordered them to leave and
threatened to shoot them if they did
not go, but the men laughed at her
threats, and finally broke the door
down, dragged Mrs. Sellers out of the
hosue and assaulted her. She fought
her assailants and cried out for as
sistance but her cries were soon hush
ed by one of the black brutes who
choked her until she was nearly un
conscious. As soon as she escaped
from their clutches she mnde her
way to a neighbor's house where she
remained until daylight. When she
returned to her home in the early
dawn. Mrs. Sellers found that the
place had been plundered and what
little money she had was stolen.
Mrs. Sellers was severly bruised in
her struggle with the 'two negros.
Her neck and throat were swollen
and livid with the imprints of their
ringers. The men were strangers to
her and there is no clue to their
idenity. Wilmington Star 12th.
