SORRY HORSES AND MULES, FBOM ST. LOUIS, Hie Best in the World For General Use, JCST RECEIVED AT mm Oar Load EDITORIAL NOTES. Every train and boat going tow ards Washington in filled to its utmost capacity. Various literary jobs are offered President Harrison when he goes oat of office. lie has vetoed moot of the up to date. No: We are not goiDg to the inauguration. Fifteen dollars a night for a cot, and other things in proportion, is rether more than most editor can stand. Mr. Cleveland is showing much attachment for Jo Jefferson. Some think this is doing too mnch honor to an actor, bat Jo Jefferson is one of the first gentleman in America. Any man is honored by In friendship. Mr. Thurbrr's acceptance of the president-elect' private secre taryship is not to be accounted for by a desire for its salary since he enjoys a private fortune and a professional income of $10,000 or i 15,000. The proposition to pension the ex Queen is not an irresistible corollary to the proposition to an nex Hawaii. This country can manage to stagger along without going 2,000 miles out on tbe ocean to annex pensions. Louisville Coureir Journal At the closing meeting of the Daughters of the Revolution, Mrs. Stevennon, the wife of the vice president elect, was elected presi dent general, and Mrs. H V. Boyn ton, tbe present incumbent, was re elected vice-president in charge of organization. MA Wise man profits by the experience of others, a happy man by his own experience, bnt a fool profits by uo man's experience," is the sent im ntoloneot tha Wie Mfii ot olfl, t he truth of which is verified by dailty observation "White Caps in Mississippi whip several negroes and attempt to hang another." They deserve hanging themselves. Those White Caps ha.ve no connection with the employeH of an Est Carolina Merchant who is progressive, irre pressible and inextinguishable. THE Populist members of the Laorias Housf of B-presentatives, who withdraw and attempted to set np for t henitiel ws, have re turned in a bodv to tb hall they deserted and taken their seats. Like the dove rlrsc sent out fiom the ifrk they found uo pie on which to rer their feer. TnEiiiOst d flicnlt branch of the Executive oflioe to manage is said to be the In terior Depart ment. This N so because it coiitaius the Pen vo i Bureau,- the Indian Buieau, ih.- Land Office, the Patent Oflioe, lie Ceusns Bureau and a Imst. of o; her distinct division, of govern me ut United States ministers abroad are beginning to send in their resignations so that President Cleveland may be unembarrassed in filling their places by Dew appointments sbonld he feel so disposed. This is very thoughtful on the part of the ministers. Chronicle. "But free coinage is not the main thing the silver extremists want. What they really desire is that the government shall coin every sixty cents worth of silver that can be hanled to the mints, stamp it as a dollar, and make it a legal tender for that amount. That is just what the government cannot do." IT is a somewha: remarkable fact that on the 22d of February, 1392, the snap contention met ih New York and did all it could to nle out Grover Cleveland as a Presidential possibility, and that on tfie 22d of February, 1893, Grover Cleveland, President-elect, completed and announced his prospective cabinet. The man who was the only Democratic member of the Dakota Legislature in 1885 goes to Wash ingtoi as a Democratic United States Senartor in 1893. No wonder Stephen A Douglas is making opeeches on the decadence of the Republican party and adjuring his remaining fellow-Republicans to "die with their boots on." Louis ville Courier Journal, Dem. Muhammad Alexander Russell Webb is is an American who has come buck from the Orient to con vert his native land to the faith he had adopted during his absence abroad new to him, but old to the world Islamism. A New York paper states that he will "improve the green standard of Ialam," and: strive to "lead his benighted: countrymen to fight under the j 1 green banner." A St. Louis paper sajs if you want co get rid of rats, don't try to poison them, for they are too smart to be fooled with Doison. but tlx np a nice dish for them, season ed with tartar emetic. They eat heartily, and then they leel like a landlubber on his first trip on sea. The world has no charms for tbem, they would rather be dead than a ive, and in their deep disgust with the surroundings, as soon as they are able to toddle, they take their families and move to some of your neighbors them that way. Who don't feed TWO VETOES. Two vetoes have come to light about the same time, and in oar humble judgment toth are right and proper. The first is from Benj limn Har rison, President ot the United States, in which certain innova tions in Federal Judicial proceed ings is defeated, and the other is from Grover Cleveland, President elect, in which be puts an end to the purpose to have him conducted from the Capitol to the White Uoase in a magnificent carriage drawn by four coal black horses caparrison in white harness decked with silver and gold, each borne to be led by a groom in livery. When we saw this parade an nounced as a part of the great inauguration prjceaMion we felt sure that it would not receive the approval of President Cleveland. Sacb a display woold ill comport j with the republican simplicity that 18 ever been cbarteriKtic oi tne Democratic party, the truest rep reseutative of Republican senti ment. It is to be expected that the inauguration ceremonies will be grand aud imposing but the effect will be hightened if the President appears as an honored American citizen unattended by any of tbe trappiogH of roj ality. U.VDER OUR FLAG. The sense of jubilat.on over our new transatlantic steamers is not confined to thin country. At Southampton there is to be a lun aheon aboard the New York on March 7. As a special to the New York Times puts it: "It is matter for congratulation that these splen did fliers are going to have the mails and going to land tbem at Southampton. With the Lloyd service already existing, this will at least give Londou a decent mail communication with America." Philadelphia Record. Wo do not feel the exultation over this incident that is expressed in some quarters. Indeed we con fess to feeling somewhat akin to humiliation. 1c is not an honor to our hUg. It i a dearly bought prmUge. A eou temporary Nayt: "The American Flag h v became ho rare on the seaM tint ir nppear anoo on two nucIi Npl 'iidol wssclo as the New York nd tin (),; ol Paris naturally tV')k., i iln iil o patriotic pridt.''

Now, where is the glory to this country in all of thif Some of us, and all of our fathers, remember when the sails o( our commerce whitened every sea and the Ameri can dag wag known and honored throughout the earth. Why this changeT Had Neptune made the waves of ocean impervious to the keels of American ships? Have American seaman lost their cun ning? Nothing of all this. The change is attsibntable to the short sighted policy of this Government, and to nothing else. Republican laws and Republican administration is the cause of it. When the Republican Congress threw a Chinese wall around this country, in the shape of a protec tive tarid, it Bcnttled our stiips and clipped the wiDgs of our commerce. The Washington correspondent of tne Baltimore Sun p tys a high compliment to Senator Ransom in the following paragraph: The Democratic president protem of the Senate will be the best pari i a mentarian in the body and one who, as a presiding officer, has no superior. Senator Harris, of Ten nessee, is to be the man. No wiser selection could De made. General Ransom, of North Carolina, who is wonderfully well versed in all the duties of a legislator, would have the preference, but, it is understood Senator Ran om, of bis own motion, suggested the Tennessee Senator for the place. General Ransom is one of the ablest of all the men on tbe Democratic side, and in all probability his counsel and his services on the tioor will be more valuable than in the chair. THE matter to be arbitrated at Paris, which Secretary of State ' Foster resigned to advocate as : counsel for the United States, may j be summarized in the following propositions: That Russia when i she owned Alaska exercised exclu si ve jurisdiction over Behring sea ; and had exclusive ownership in the! seal fisheries there. That Behring ! sea is a closed sea and is not a part of the Pacific ocean, and was not embraced in "the Pacific ocean" when that term was used in the i treaty of 1825. That when we bought Alaska and Russia's rights a"0 lule we succeeaea lO Der ' exclusive rights in Behring sea. GEN. W. R. COX. Gen. W. K. Cox, of North ! Carolina, will le the next secretary j of the Senate. The other candidates i may accept this Statement tor a ' fiCtandgO to looking about for j Other jobs. Charlotte Chronicle. There is no better paper than the) Chronicle. Politically it is sound j to the core and it statements are always reliable. We trust that it is ri ht in this instance. The election of Gen. Cox would gratify North Carolinians, and would be especially pleasing to this writer. We were brigadiers in the same division, and our men stood shoulder to shoulder oi many a hard faught field. The Alabama Brigade of Ramseur's Division never went forward with more confidence than when supported by Cox's North Oarolinans. But personal partiality, while it will assert, itself can add nothing to the merits of Gen. Cox. He is a his toric character, and the impartial chronicler of events has written his name in imperishable characters of living light. The civic wreath that adorns his brow is as fadeless as his martial renown. As lawyer, judge aud Congressman he has magnified his office as becomes a North Caro lina gentleman. The election of Gen. Cox will not be siru ly a personal cajipliment. t will be a tribute to the North Carolina Democracy. No where was the flag of Cleveland and Stevenson carried more gallantly than in tbe old North State, and the recognition of such men as Gen. Cox accords with the eternal fitness of things. NOT ALL NEW. It has become eustomary to speak of the new as superior to the old. We bear of the new South as something nobler and grander than that in which our fathers lived. We have very little sympathy with this sentiment. We prefer to oonsider the South as a glorious whole: the land of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Clay, Calhoun. Davis, Lee, Gordon, Vance, Ran som, Fowle, Holt, Carr, and who ever have acted well thore parts beneath our SuUierii skies from the days of Wa-diington to the present moment., 1 lie Sj.nitli one and indivisible.

It is the eternal and indestructible prin ciples of the past applied to the exegencies of the present. If these men cut loose from the past-forget the teachings of Jefferson and con sider the Constitution a dead letter they may as well bid farewell to all their greatness, for they will sink into merited oblivian "un- i swept, unhonored and unsung." It is well enough to face the future, but woe to the man who forgets the past. But, there is no such danger. The classic scholar may turn from Homer and Virgil, but no disciple of Democracy will leave the old landmarks established by the fathers of the republic.

Convict Labor on Roads. A bill to provide for the use of con victs tin public roads came up as a second special order in the House. It provided that from and after the first day of" June next all able bodied convicts sentenced to the penitentiary, or now in or belonging to the penitentiary, may be worked upon the public roads; that whenever any county shall Iery a tax for the purpose of working the public roads it shall be the duty of the board of directors of the penitentiary to assign such county one able-badied convict for each seventy dol lars, provided that not less than twenty nor more tiian fifty convicts shall be as signed to any county; that seventy dol for each convict be paid by the State and tbe other expenses by the county to which he may be assigned, so long as he may be assigned, so long as he may be at work wtihin said county. A number of amendments were offered and during the debate which ensued the whole question of the maintenance and employment of convicts was gone over. While tbe debate was in progress Gov. Carr sent to the House a message on the public road question which showed that the present system of working the high ways is a failure and that a new one is demanded. The bill was tinally tabled, on motion ol Mr. Moore. After the reading of the message from the governor, Mr. Hyde, of Carteret, made a strong speech against the bill. The chief point made against the bill was that no county which could not raise $1,400 a year could secure any convict labor at all.

ZL ; An Important Meeting. Sometime during the spring the State Tress Association will meet in New Berne and of course it is only necessary to men - j ly remind our citizens of the fact for them to take hold of the Associasion in a busi neas like way aud show to the editors of. North Carolina that this section, though to a great extent cut off and side-tracked from other portions of the State and through lines connecting the N'orth with the South, in many respects it stands un surpassed. Its trucking antl fish industries are the most prominent ami for this reason the Association has been invited to meet this early. Previously its sessions have been held in July. The Association was never in better order than during the hist few years. The meetings have been well at ten j. j md given to business of inmortant cussions looking the elevation of tin- Press of N'orth Carolina and the develop ment of the good old Xorth State. These editors are a fine body of gentleman and have always been met with a cordial welcome. They are thorouhly devoted to the State and are ever ready to speak in its praise or stand in its defense. The meeting will be an important one and worth a great deal to us indirectly and especially just at this period w hen our future looks so promising. Some times during the present month we desire to meet the business men of the city and j present the matter tf) them more fully, and we make special request that the occasion of their coming here be given due consideration and made as pleasant as possible. The Steam Ferry. Several gentlemen called on Mr. Hill Humphrey, the hardest worker for the steam ferry, Thursday, and voluntarily til fered to take stock in it. A meeting f the incorporators will soon be held, and then it is hoped the matter will be push ed as fast as possibh . It is ment to have- it so that a farmer can drive his loaded wagon or other vehicles on the boat ami conn lihl across without handling whatever he lui-. for a mere nominal sum, and return tin same way. Let this be the case, ami our street will be dotted with country vehicles a. never before, ami our merchants will feel te effect. $10,000 is the amount which is wanted to be raised. This looks like a good sit sum, but $25 each from 400 people will make it. In view of the benefits to be conferred, it ought easily t ; be raised. It will pay every business man in the city, and every farmer from a one-horse farm up who lives where he would use the ferry can much better afford to take a share or two than to get along without the advantages the ferry w ill give. Let all interestetl act promptly it oughtnot to take long to get the ferry in operation A Strict Assignment Law. The bill which passed the Legislatuii to prevent fraudulent assignments is said to have been downed by the best lawyers in the House. It provides strong safe guards against trickery. Under its terms preferred debts must, in live flays roi-de. the his I the assignment is made, be r the clerk's office, ami concise in 0f the ori'dn antl existence of said d.l.t an,, a th9 must ,,c sworn to, and i signees are to give bond and render at, counts just as administrator- do and the execution of assignments is to precipitati : all indebtedness, whether due not.
