1 le $yciixg ic&CTtt J. A . ARTHUR, Jr., Editor. PUBLISHED EVERY DAT EXCEPT SUNDAY. OUR STREETS. There corres a time in the his tory of every nation, of every State and of every town when it cannot stand still. It must f necessity go forward, or it will retrograte. Particularly is this true as to the life and pro gress of a town. There are some things, some improvements which must be made sooner or later, the sooner the better and the cheaper. We do not desire to be under stood as criticising the officers and the commissioners of our town, but we simply wish to call their attention to certain facts, and these facts are so apparent that "he who runs may read. Suppose that a persori who was thinking of investing money in this town had happened here two or three days ago and had seen every street in the town , a foot deep in the sloppiest mud on the face of the earth, the ap pearance of which made one think of the filth and dirt of the slums of a great city, does any one for a moment think that he would stop to inquire further. No. He would justly have thought that a town which al lowed this to go on was not on the high road to improvement. And yet, in this he would have been mistaken. In spite of this and not on account of it Washing ton is still on the upward move. Now we don't say that it is the fault of the street Commissioner oriiny other person, That is not jthe: trouble. You may put a thou sand men at work on these streets ubid give them nothing more than the native soil on which we are built and they cannot make and keep a decent street. Then what must be done for the streets? at least Main, from Market to. Gladden ought to be paved and Gladden from Main to the railroad. We may try to put it off but sooner or later we have got to come to it, or continue to have streets that are a disgrace to the city. THE PRESIDENT'S OMISSION. We recur to the omission from the President's message of even the faintest reference to the re cent disturbances in this State, for the purpose of saying that, whatever the motive, the omis sion is appreciated. It wrould be painful to see North Carolina pilloredin a presidential message There is no allusion, either to the South Carolina atrocity or fco the Illiuois race incident. Per haps he could not discuss one without discussing all, although in fact the North Carolina affair was a very different one from either of the others, and born of a very different spirit. It occurs to us to say here that the well known character of our people for conserratism and obedience to constituted authority, their well-known regard for orderly methods, should stand them in good stead a this time. The people of the country, if they have any knowledge at all of the history of this ,tate and the type of its population, should know that the recent outbreak I . j l . Jiero was due to a great stress of circumstances and that we hru!d have the benefit of aDy j uQf mav oricw in tlo nnK ' QCLC. vtiat may arise in tlie pUD- lie mind as to the necessity for the action taken. Perhaps .all this occured to President Mc Kinley, and if so perhaps this is the explanation of his refusal to roast us, as he had undoubtedly been urged to do. At all events he showed proper consideration and deserves to be commended. We are heartily in accoAl with our city commissioners in pass ing the order offering a reward of ten dollars for the apprehen sion and conviction of the party or parties who have been tam pering with the street lamps. Hardly a week passes that we do not hear of a deprecation of this kind, and it has advanced to that point that some parts of the city are in darkness nearly every night. But let the Mayor issue as stringent order as he may to the police to apprehend and ar rest these parties, tjiey are pow erless to do so, as long as they wear their uniforms. And what would be faj better is for the Mayor to employ a privata detective to run these parties down. Now we have the ordinance let it be enforced to the letter, and if the parties who are nightly injuring the street lamps are arrested punish them to the full extent of the law. General Wood has stopped bull fights in Santiago, and not a murder has been committed there since he took official charge and soon somebody will call General Wood "old hicory." The president recommends a larger standing army, but most of the boys are against standing it much longer. A girl is never quite sure how to take it when her beau makes her a Christmas present of a prayer book. Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the us of making a better article than your com petitor if you can not get a bet ter price, for it? Ans. As there is no differ ence in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profiits may be small er on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them aud use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon They may occasionally take up with some fashionable noeltv put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to re turn to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and lor coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Cham berlain's Cough Remedy For (Sale at Tayloe's Pharmacy.
