THE North and East are crowded,

presented by the South and West,
these sections should be sought by
many from the more crowded local
ities. The facts bear out the theory,
and the center of population of the

point, this is beneficial to the whole
country. Charlotte Chronicle.
The argument before the United
States Supreme Court in the Neagle

yesterday. Mr. Joseph A. Choate,
of New York, continued his argu
ment on the line laid down by him
yesterday, that of the supremacy of
the United States to the States
He maintained that when the Con
stitution vested judicial power in
the courts, ana to carry this into
effect enacted laws to divide the
country into circuits, it necessarily
implied that in the discharge of the
duties so imposed upon them the
officiers of the courts should be ab
solutely protected by the Govern
ment, whose servants they are.
The oase was closed by Attorney
General Johnson, of California, on
behalf of the State. He conceded
that Congress might pass a law for
the protection of the judges while
traveling to and from the circuits,
bat maintained that no such law
has been passed giving this pro
protection, either in words or by
implication, and that its passage
was absolutely essential in order to
oast the police power of the States.
THE POLITICAL SPEAK EAST
The Washington Post, of March
4, has a leader on what it terms
"Tne Political Speak Easy." It
says :
"Onrprnnr Rnina' innncnral ad
dress is not pleasing to the Demo
cratic press. The Governor's ac
knowledgment that he was not
elected on strict party issnes, and
his announcement that he intends
to be very liberal in his administra
tion is not what was expected of
bim. In other words, the Demo
cratic press would have Iowa's new
Democratic Governor boldly assert
Democratic principles, and not re
sort to the "speak easy'' methods
to curry favor with the opposition."
A great many of those who voted
for Governor Boies were Republi
cans, and had been Republicans
all their lives. It would have been
very ungenerous, not to say an
gentlemanly, for the Governor to
have anathematized those to
whom he was indebted for his elec
tion. He conducted his caavass
npon the idea that a great many
of those who had been Republicans
would vote for him, otherwise his
canvass wonld have been senseless,
for from the beginning Iowa had
been a Republican State. Now be
cause the Governor is conrteous to
those who left the Republican colors
an i mustered under the Democratic
flag, he is called a ''Speak Easy,"
and we are told that be was not
elected on "strict Democratic prin
ciples." We fail to see anything in the
inaugural address of Governor
Boies that does not accord with
strict Democratic principles. It is
a straightforward, manly State
paper, courteous in tone and de
voted to the interests of the people
of Iowa.
Many of us remember when the
flag of the gallant old Whig party
was withdrawn from the political
field, the followers of Henry Clay
in the South came trooping to the
Democratic lines. They came, not as
the conquered come, but as heroic
patriots to join in holy alliance
with their Democratic brethren in
defense of their homes, their honor
and their liberties. Forgetting
past differences, they formed the
body-guard that stood by the Con
stitution and the Union and de
fended them at all hazards and to
the last extremity.
As the Jackson Democrats wel
comed -the- Clay Whigs, so the
Democrats of today are ready to
welcome those Republicans who
swear allegiance to a restored
Union, dispensing its blessings to
all citizens of the Republic.
It is in this way only that the
Democracy can hope to win. Any
other policy bars the gates against
repentant Republic ins, and thestilU
larger number who without re
pentance see in Democratic meas
ures the surest promise of the
future.
The Northwest is coming. We
hear the tramp of her battalions,
and see the gleam of the stars on
her Mag. Her sons have been Re
publican?, but we welcome them as
brethren of a common ancestry
moving on to a common destiny.
No words of reproach, no assump
tion of superiority, shall hinder
them, bat we will "speak easy" to
them, and say, "This is our fathers'
house and we are brethren."
Whenever before in this conn
try was it regarded a reproach to
"speak easy t" Among barburic
tribes and in savage wilds rudeness
may be becoming, bnt in Christian
Jands and amoug eivilized people
gentleness should be supreme.
SECRET SESSIONS.
The Senate of the United States
seems much concerned as to how
it is that events transpiring in the
secret sessions of that august body
become known to the public.
A Senator is supposed to have
brains and use them. Senators are
understood to be wise men, yet we
see these grave and reverent seign
ior" going about to solve this
mystery with the simplify of little
children.
A statement appears in a news
paper of something done in seeret
session, and immediately the whole
hive swarms. Then comes a de
nunciation ol the press; the "con
founding and dadblaBting" of re
porters, and perhaps the citation of
offenders to appear before the bar
of the Senate, and show cause why
they should not be punished for
contempt.
It seems never to have occurred
to these Senators that the fault is
with themselves. Some Senators
are like old boats, that are leaky ;
and others are like vessels so full j
that they run over.
Now suppose instead of assailing
newspapers, the Senate hold an ex
perience meeting in which every
Senator is bound on honor to tell
all he knows, then perhaps the
truth will be known as to how the
proceedings of secret sessions be
come known to the public.
The press is a mighty power,
but no journalist has ever &ir
sumed to know by intuition the
doings of men locked in the re
cesses of the Senate chamber. Re
porters are shrrp fellows, but none
of them profess to be able to go
through a key-hole and remain
incognito during a session of the
Senate.
Nothing can be known of the
proceedings of secret sessions of
the Senate, but that which is re
vealed by Senators themselves.
The people are becoming tired of
secret sessions of the Senate. They
cannot see the necessity of keeping
from the people a full knowledge of
the affairs of the peo.jle. If this
was a monarchy a star chamber
wonld not be amiss.
That there . ' . reasons for hold
ing secret setsoii ns of the Senate
mnst be admited, for no custom
could have long existed among rea
sonable men without good reason.
Often delicate foreign relations are
to be discussed, and a nroner re
gard fir the comity of nations re
qaires ihat no Larsh criticisms be
spoken in the hearing of the world
Sometimes treaties are under con
sideration materially affecting the
parties directly at issue which
cannot be openly discussed without
incurring the risk of becoming
complicated by the antagonistic
attitudes of other nationalities.
These, and other equally plausible
reasons argue in favor of secret ses
sions; nevertheless the popular
feeling is in favor of their abo
lition, and it may be that their
days are numbered.
HINDRlN'CES TO SUCCESS, ANDTHE
BEMEDY.
Why is it that there are so many
failures in life? One reason is the
want of preparation for the duties
assumed.
Every yonng man should have
a definite object before him, which
must be followed with persistency
and resolution.
The often quoted, and much ap
plauded assertion, in the Declara
tion of Independence, that "all
men are born equal," is not true.
There are inequalities everywhere.
The same measure of Buccess in
any chosen vocation is not equally
attainable by all men. One man
is snited to one occupation, and
another is fitted for a different
pursuit.
The disposition, and the mental
and physical qualities, of every
child should be carefully studied
by the parents, and the training
given to him that is best adapted
to the highest development of his
powers.
Supposing that the academic
education of a young man is the
begj. bis .circumstances will allow,
tbeveUoosing of his life business
becomes a matter of the utmost
importance.
Now, all labor is honorable, and
the manner in which one acquits
himself in his work will determine
the measure of his success.
The idea that a profession can
give dignity to a worthless man, or
that soiled hands and begrimed
garments are incompatible with
high character and manly attri
butes, is not to be tolerated in this
progressive age.
Men are . often mistaken as to
their qualifications. Sometimes a
young man enters the legal pro
fession who can never make a
lawyer. He is a good declaimer.
At college he bore off the medal for
declamation. He has seen advo
cates sway juries by the magnetic
power of oratory, and he feels that
once admitted to the bar his success
is assured and his triumph certain.
But wanting in essential elements
of a lawyer, he meets with disap
pointments, and sooner or later
failure is inevitable.
Another young man decides to
become a merchant. He has popu
lar manners, and every one seems
to be hia friend. tle believes that
he can "cell goods by the thousands
and make money hand over hand.'
But he is wanting in some special
qualifications without which success
is impossible. So it is in all busi
ness pursuits.
Bnt is there no remedy ? There
is no absolute remedy. The sur
vival of the fittest seems to be
the universal law. Everywhere the
strong prey upon the weak: but
the large number of failures in busi
ness might have been avoided by
judicious forecast and adequate
preparation for the duties assumed.
So long as parents attempt the
impossible for their children, and
men enter npon pursuits for which
they are not prepared failures are
inevitable.
There are honors, wealth and
happiness in the reach of all, bnt
the path to them is crossed by a
thousand by-ways that lead to dis
honor, poverty and wretchedness.
Keep in the straight and narrow
path, and all will be well !
AND what do the people think of
Harrison himself! No newspaper
of any party and no member of
Congress ever mentions him as a
possible candidate forre election at
the end of his term. Nobody speaks
with respect of his Administration
or of himself as a man of ability or
influence even in his own party.

sisting of thirty shares. Twenty shares
have already been taken by the people

ing ten will be taken in Beaufort. It is
our opinion that on this line will pay a

Mr. Little was returning home from

beside the wagon carrying a breech

to halt, but he appeared not to hear and
drove on. After the command bad

raised the curtain of bis waeon and
looked out and saw the boy with the

be could recover from his surprise. The
boy arose and ran for life, leaving the
gun in Mr. Little's possession. The lad's

Fayetteville Observer: We have heard
of "the old woman who lived in a shoe,

any other living man in North Carolina.
He has only been married once, and to
the union thirty-two children have been
born. Fourteen boya and eleven girls
are now living, and five boys and two
girls being dead. Mr. Gamble is eighty
years old. His wife is also' living.
It is gratifying to know that the'bucket
factory has won, from its inception, the
success whtoh it merited. Four acres
of land have been purchased of Mr.

This has necessitated an increase of
capital, and Messrs. O. W. Williams',
Worth & Worth, and perhaps other
Wilmington capitalists, have become
large stockholders.

probable that the exodus then will be
much larger than it has been the past

can be taken away by -the spring of

merged, forcing many people to vacate
their homes located in inundated por
tions of the city. Kill road lines, al
though at one time threatened, have
passed the danger line. Through traffic
has not been much impeded, but swol
len streams and the impassable condi
tion of the country roads has virtually
prevented the movement of local traffic,
which of necessity has affected the busi
ness of railroads for the past two days.
The lews of the Tennessee river bridge
at Johnsonville, by the Nashville and
Chattanooga road, has afforded the only
serious impediment to through travel
through Memphis, trains being now run
over the Elouisvile and Nashville via
Guthrie, making about the same time.

Notice, Alliance Men.
To the Farmers'1 Alliance of Eastern
North Carolina:
We call the attention of our neighbor
oounties to a proposition to meet annu
ally in the city of New Berne on Wed
nesday during the Fair of the E&et
Carolina Fish. Game, Oyster and In
dustrial Association. Let the sub or
county Alliances be represented by a
full delegation, and we feel sure of
being able to have in attendance some
of our most talented speakers. An or
ganisation of this kind with personal
representatives from all adjoining
oounties would not only be very enjoy
able but result in incalculable benefit to
the farmers of East Carolina.
The interchange of opinions and the
eloquenoe of our speakers would renew
the enthusiasm of our great order and
enable it to press forward with more
earnestnee to the accomplishment of
its noble purposes.
Besides the benefit to be derived from
such an annual gatherinz of oar pro
gressive farmers, we oan be most pleas
tne wonderful production of our own
seotion and meeting pleasant people
from several States.
The clever and hospitable citizens of
New Berne will make yon thrice wel
come to their historic old town, and
will promise to any batcbelor or widow
er delegate that be shall see something
fairer than the Fair.
I hereby call a convention of the Alli
ance men of Eastern North Carolina
whose interests are the same, to meet
as Wednesday of Fair week, 1891, at
which meeting we will establish a per
manent organization.

Important Supreme Conrt Decision.
Raleigh, N. C., March 8. The Su
preme Court, this evening, decided sA
most important case that of Redmond
versus the town of Tarboro. The point
involved was whether or not that sec
tion of the Constitution, which provides
that all taxes levied by any county,
city, town or township, shall be uniform
and ad valorem upon all property in
the same, except properly exempted by
the Constitution, including moneys.
credits, investments, etc, or whether
it applies only to particular subjects,
wnicb may be selected by the Legisla
ture for taxation. The Court holds that
it includes all solvent credits, invest
ments, money, etc. This overrules the
case of Pullen versus Raleigh, rendered
some years ago.
Florida Freeze.
Jacksonville, March 4. The weath
er baa been steadily moderating since
morning. eports from all parts of
Florida indicate that the cold weather
of Sunday and Monday dii consider
able damage.
The Times-Union Mils morning Dub-
liahea reports from about twenty-five
points in the State. The mercury was
lowest at Gainesville 22 above zero.
Very little damage was done to orange
trees or blossoms, the long continued
drought having left the tender sHrubs
and branches almost entirely free from
sap, so there was no moisture to freeze.
The peaoh and fig trees have been in
jured generally, and there will be short
crops.
The greatest damage waa to track
gardens, which in some localities were
destroyed entirely. In many instances.
however, new seed will be planted and
.good crops grown.
Thin ice formed in Tampa and there
waa alight snow at Fernandina.
On the whole, however, the situation
la not discouraging.
The Teller of a Louisville Bank De
camps With a Large Amount of
Funds.
Louisville, March 4. William H.
Pope, teller of the Louisville City Bank,
a trusted employe, a man of seeming
good habits, and a frequenter of the
best social circles of this city, is gone.
His absence at the bank yesterday at
first excited no suspicion, as it was
supposed be was at his sick sister's bed
side, or in the country detained by tne
flood. When no word waa received at
1.80 o'clock the President, James S.
Spirtleff, vice-Preeident James F.
Lerbcb, and Cashier W. a. Parker be
came suspicious. They opened the
vault and a hasty examination showed
that somewhere between $40,000 and
$60,000 waa missing, all in larga bills.
The bulk of gold and silver coin and
small bills were left intact. It will re
quire an examination to state the entire
amount that Pope took with him. At
first his friends would not believe that
Pope had gone wrong. The search by
the Bank officials soon left no doubt
about the matter, and his friends began
to search for hi,m, thinking possibly he
waa still in the city. He could not be
fouhd, and soon the reporters dis
covered the bank robbery. As usual
they fnrniehed the detectives with the
first clue, and learned that .Pope had
left on the 7.55 o'clock train Saturday
night for Cincinnati, where it is thought
be took a train for Detroit and is now
safe in Canada. .
Western Floods The Ohio River Fifty
Miles Wide at Cairo.
Cairo. Iil., March 4 The Ohio river
is now ever fifty miles wide at this
point. It extends from Cairo levee,
which holds it banked up forty feet
above the low water mark in Kentucky,
till it strikes the hills there, forming
one solid sheet of water except for nar
row strips of rock bound earth upen
which the Mobile and Ohio and Illinois
Central railroads run south. A mile
below hare it joins the Mississippi,
which in turn extends into Missouri
another fifty miles, making the com
bined width of the two rivers over one
hundred miles. The current is terrific,
and brings great Quantities of heavy
drift, making navigation perilous. The
ferry-boat -Three States" made two
trips to East Cairo yesterday, and one
up the Mississippi to Missouri, rescuing
neople camped out on srouna wnicn
they supposed was beyond the reach of
the flood, but w men was Deiug rapiaiy
submerged.
At Padncah. Ky.. fifty miles up the
Ohio, there is much uneasiness. The
city ia not Droteoted by levees, as Cairo
is, and in 1882 it was flooded to a depth
of six feet.
Already the water has reached within
a few feet of the Richmond House,
which stands on the river front, and
two great tobacco warehouses are
flooded. Ten thousand hogsheads of
tobacco stored in them were removed
last week.
