Slid here the Strike not only continues bat is encouraged by umei w orsman -owaeny. w netner ine people or tne corpo- rations are right in this particular instance we are not prepared to say, bat in nine cases out of ten in which such strikes occur it is the result of the tyranny of capital. As a general rule labor is long suffering. The laborer knows that a strike is the inevitable prelude to suffering; that pure women aud innocent children are to go hungry to bed, and he hwintoo 'm' . resenting and insulted manhood j and meeting want and suffering at , his hearth stone. ; It is difficult to enact laws to j meet this oomplexed question. The i right of capital to employ labor j and get it as cheaply as it can be procured at ordinary times can hardly be questioned ; and it is equally true that the laborer is worthy of bis hire. Just here is where the divine law comes in with its holy man dates and sublime teachings, "Do nnto others as you would have them do nnto you." "Render unto Ciesar the things that are Ca-aar's, and nnto God the things that are God's." When the precepts of the gosptl are followed and its authority rec ognized, then will come the bless ed time in which it will no longer be said "Man's inhumanity to man makes coantlees thousands mourn.

The con- j vention wa8 jj, h. Toung. called to order by In his opening ad dress he said : "There have been all sorts of rumors as to the pur. pose of this convention.

We are not here to cause a 8plit or disruption, but we are here to demand that we, the colored people, be recognized by the ruling . . . power 0f the Republican party, be cause WE ARE the Bepuulica i party." The temporary chairman, lion. E. E. Smith, ex United States Min ister to Liberia, made a few con servative remarks in which he said that "the assembly was to recite some grievances to which this people were subject, and to con sider remedies for such grievances." A committee on credentials was appointed and retired, and then i came the speaking. Rev. J. C. . ... .. Price, the foremost negro orator ot 1 the times, waa called out. He said "he was here to witness and I voting and living part, ot the Ke- public fn party a proper rec j oTiiition at the hands of a few ; fi0if coustitnOd le .ider.

If any man supposes that this meeting indicates a revolt from the Republican party, let him at' once throw off the deceptioo, and recogoize that it only shows recogoize a i wing of the party to get a place at : the fir8t tabie.

THE DEMANDS OF T1IE HOI K It is intimated that there has been an aeroement by which the force bill goes over to December (and the tariff bill is to be brought to a vote in the Seuate on the 8th of September. ! This agreement is in the nature of a compromise. Compromises often result in good ; indeed society is based upou compromises in which individual rights are surrendered for the public good. Principles should never be made the subject of compromises. Cir cumstances change; principles never. Measures may wait ou cir cumstances to do their bidding. Principles command obedience to immutable decrees. They are fixed stars eternal in the heaven. If there has been an agreement i among Senators to postpone the j further consideration of the force I bill and nroceed with the considera-; tion of the tariff it may be bat a j mntual accommodation by which both sides are better prepared to discharge the high duties of. American senators, ir. nowever. ' it is atrreed that tho vote upon the .. . . . tariff bh3ll be taken at a certain itime Senators cannot be bound by )W(u.w - it, for u is the highest duty ol a j Senator to oppose hurtful legisla- ' tion at all hazards and to the last extremity. Mr. Gorman has no right to cou!-ent to a termination of debate before the discussion lias been full and complete. But the deal having to all ap pearances been ensumated, the effect upon the country is to be considered. Here we appropriate rh words of the Richmond Times : "By yielding to the Republican majority and permitting the Mc Kinley tariff bill to pass the Demo cratic minority will place the whole onus of the bill upon the Republi-1 can party. ne country win, ior mi . - l j two years at least, horn tr am nra ! opposition to Radicalism, but at the same time it will be hard on the country. &y compemuK iuu yvBLyvuu ; af"11 will lessen The" cnances of the' force bill becoming ; effective in the campaigns of after I , - r years.

And the ; funds thus derived for Republican campaign purposes will render nn- j necessary the use of the bayonet at the polls. Possibly there may be enough Republicans like Plamb in rV,a Sonata whn will hoori th warn- ings of the people and unite with the Democrats to defeat the tanfl bill. This, however, is rather im- probable I UAcifVi "As the whole j eion of debat0 on the force bill hap not been written, and probably 'never will be revealed, it is a, diffi ma OnndPH W 1 1 I f ' 1 1 led to a suspen cult matter to saV exai tly w hat t he ducv '( the )emnr,raric, R 'i t Me Democrat ati rs p 1st t heir shall be.

Below we show how the law works the figures given are not official, therefore not ; exact, but we obtained them from a j gentleman well posted in sewing' machine matters, and we believe they ' , are .ufficiently accurate to give a proper understanding of the case, As only about eight companies sell ' sewing machines in North Carolina, the State receives only the paltry sum of about S2 030 annually from the tax. 1 No benefit accrues to the citizens of the State in any form from this tax, but it rather works to their detriment in this way: A number of sewiog michine companies keep out of the State rather than pay the tax. Competition is thus diminished and the few companies who sell here are enabled to command a larger price than they otherwise would. We are informed that some of the machines sold in this State are sold in A Bewine machine costs the manu facturers from S8 to S.5. After paying freight and other expenses they could be sold here at S23 each and a good j (profit made on them, but instead of j that the average price ia about f 30. I The aggregate sales of thi different companies per year in the S:ate ia about 2 500. At tbeijrestr.t average pr'ce. $50, this makes the sales amount to 8125,000. As we have shown, they could be sold at an average of 525 If j they were sold at that pticu it would ; be a laving to the citiz-'ns of the Ssate of over $00 000. Though the machines j could be sold at that low price we do not believe that the reperl of the tax would cause aa sweeping u reduction in price as that, but we are sure that if all the companies in the United States were permitted to Bell freely in the State the active rivalry between them would enable the purchasers to obtain them on more favorable term than they can at present. We wish to emphasis) the faot that the larger and more powerful com panies are in favor of this tax as it ex- eludes the smaller and weaker com-j panies, aud some of them wish to see j the tax still further increased so that : other companies who still continue to; sell in the Syate may be driven out and j ine-v lDUo ootiil" il ""p'.

It. Dudley's agricultural exhibit attracts much attention. He shows corn, peanuts, citron, squashes, etc. Iliri vegetable eggs are the largest we have ever seen ; some of them measur ing two feet in circumference. The agricultural rooms are well filled I with choice fruits and vegetables : mmy of which we mentioned yeeter- day. There are pepper etalks4i feet bifih, gourds nearly live feet in circum ference and pumpkins that will mea8- ' j ure over five feet. There are three j different exhibits of native woods: one 1 of them contains 8S rarieties. Opposite the Agricultural room j Merritt Whitley shows some nice 1 1 cclnas mado ot our native sweet gum wood. I. O. Sutton makes a similar j exhibit and in the machinery hall he exhibits his fin hearse. This is also home made, manufactured by John Fisher, the son of our well known blacksmith, George S. Fisher. Near the coflina is a woman V hkelo ton, loaned by one of our city physi cians. In the room above, Miles Shepard .shows some of hia well made lathe i ork-portico and stair rail bannisters. j roseim, oracEets, an inuian ciud ana ! baseball bat, etc. Adjoining him William Hsrdison makes a largo display of house decora- tiona. He Bhows some samples of good fctaining his own work imitations of oak, cherry, mahogany, walnut, t ts. Emanuel Fisher makes a good exhibit in the line of groceries, canned goods. crackers, spices, fruit, etc. R Sawyer shows some good speci mens of his tailor work. George S. Fieher shows a variety of iron and steel articles manufactured in his blackimith shop, steel plows, sweep blades, mill-picks, fire shovela, foot scrapers, lap-links, single-tree irons, plow clevises, etc. He took a diploma at the State Agricultural Fair in 1887 for the best display of home made agri cultural implements, and also a diploma at our New Berne Fair in 1S88 for the best display of blacksmith work. In the same room are several good models of sail veeseles, steamers etc. The most conspicuous one was mjufle, b.a with a glass front. The Floral Call is attractive. The flowers and plants are well selected and well arranged. We noticed among them nightblooming cereus, winder- ing j 3 w, coieua, century plants, ana several varieties of cactus. In tho culinary department are ex hibits of bread, cakes, jellies, etc. There is a loaf of bread shown that was exhibited at the first New Berne white Fair. It is getting pretty brown now. The Art Department has many beauti ful home made articles, too numerous to mention; rugs, buggy robes, mantel lambrequins, aprons, quilts, bed spreads, drawings, paintings, etc. There are a number of interesting relics shown from 50 to nearly 200 years old. There is an African ostrich egg on exhibition, which measures 15 inches in circa-mference. We notice a number of fine game and bantam fowls; also some of the buff Cochin, Brahmas and Plymouth Rock breeds. Some nice cattle are shown. We heard it stated that one of the cows gave five gallons milk daily. In tbJ building known as the Fish and Game room there are some ex - ciptionally good stalks of cotton, but j the principal exhibits in this room are the small animals and birds raccoons, spossoms, white and native rabbits, white rats, several varieties of pigeons, etc. The fuh exhibit is not large, the warm weather would not permit it, but soma rare and curious specimens are shown. Altogether the exhibit is a creditable and meritorious one, and surpasses the expectations of all whom we have heard express themselves ou it. Third Day of the Co'.o:cd Fair During the day thero was a prize game of baseball between the P. D. Q. cloh of New Berne and the Greenville club. The P. D. Q.'s won. The score jg . , . . ,. , V"z Bame9 of baseball: one for a prize of 40. The New Berne club won two and the Greenville club one.

I shall not attempt tir, to arguo th it the i lea of connecting Morehead City with the "Great West" as an outlet for its vast products, is one of great im portance, for the fact sir, is so apparent to all who have given the matter a thought, it needs nothing more to sus tain it. Ia connection, however, with the idea ef uch a creat onternrisn. I'll mention that some years ago the ques tion of consolidating the ' North Caro lina Railroad" and the "Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad " was agitated, and I think voted upon in the I. ' gi-la-ture. And while the matter was pend ing, the writrof this drew up a pe tition, which was numerously siizned. and sent to the Legislature (then in session) praing for the passage of a consolidating act Recently haviDg found in print the petuition alluded to. I beruwith enclose to you, trusting that possibly, (should you republish it) that there may be some points in it which may in some degree, tend to aid in carrying out the grand scheme of im provement, i. e.. THE I.IN'KlNO Willi BANDS OF STEEL EASTJIRN NORTTI CARO LINA wirn the "Great West." Yours, &c, n. Morehead City, August 1890. THE PETITION 1Q the Honorable General Assembly of jorii Carolina, lirecting : We, the citizens of Morehead City, N. C-, in view of the momentous ques tion now pending beforeyour honorable body, beg leave in this, our humble p3 tition.to call your special attention to this port, or harbor, and here permit us to give a few reasons why, iu our humble opinion, the consoiidition of the "North Carolina Railroad" with the "AtUntic and North Carolina Railroad" should recoive your spepjy sanction. First, let ua say, that no doubt 'tis a fact, that many memlii" "' u; ad vantage of this port and harbor, in every particular, as the natural jes, the very best outlet to the ocean of any between Norfolk and 1'ensacola. They do not know the fact that a loaded steamer of a thousand, or evej two thousand tons, can, in thirty minutes after leaving the railroad wharf, be trolling in "old ocean," wending her trackless way to a foreign or domestic port. They do not know the fact, that during the war the Government sent in here, to the harbor of Beaufort, ships of the largest class, as transports and sup ply ships; and they do not know that when General Sherman entered tho Stale in 1865, that over two hundred ships were in Beaufort hirhor at one li)iic yes, from the tiny "tug-boat" to transport) and war-ships. Hut enough ; the above facta speak for themselves and show what Beaufort harbor is. And here let ua ask, w here can another such a harbor be fouDd south of "Hampton Roads ?" Again, we do not think we err when we assert that w hen the charter was obtained for the Atlantic & North Caro lina Railroad, the sentiment w rb uni versal that it was simply a charier for the extension of the North Carolina Railroad" to fiod "the most eligible outlet" to the ocean. And it was found at Beaufort Harbor. But alas! gentle men, sectional interest, that bane of all public works, crept in, and with its crushing potency, the pre-eminent olaims of "the most eligible outlet" has, as is well known, been over ruled, i and thereby the interest of the whole State has been made to suffer, although she owns so large an amount of stock in both roads. Yes, time and again, the interest of her people have been sot aside by a "penny wise and pound fool ish" policy, wielded by a sectional in terest. And juetr here, gentlemen, let your petitioners, in all candor and hon esty of purpose, declare to you. that in this, their petition, asking you to cast your vote for consolidation, ihey are not impelled by a personal interest, or a prejudice against the interest or pros perity of any point or harbor in "our beloved old State." No! No!! And, gentlemen, remember 'tis nut in a mat ter of party strife we ask your votes, but 'tis one we believe of vital interest to the whole people, regardless of party in any form. 'Tis the interest of the taxpayers from the mountains to the sea that the two roads should be made one. And, hence, we as North Caro linians loving our good old mother, and having her interest at heart, humbly ask her sons, now assembled in her council halls aye, ask all who feel an interest in her future welfare to throw aside all party, all sectional feel ing, and show by their votes on the question that tbey are in favor of the scheme of consolidation as the greatest feature of State interest, and your pe titioners will ever pray.
