Pniladelpbia Times. EUROPE. So much interested are we in borne affairs that tbe situation in Europe is not attracting the at ten tjon that under ordinary circum stances it would cuuim il Everywhere on the continent are signs of approaobint; coulliut Those that loom up uuder Aus trian skies are oerbaus the most ominou. The present Emperor of Austria is a ren.arkable man. No ruler in Europe baa such a beterogenious population to deal with. His per sonality is the cord that holds tbe Empire together: Such is tbe con fusions of the kingdoms and prin cipalities and races ot which he is ruler, that the chances aro there will bH revolutionary disturbances, affecting the balance of power and the preservation of peace when the reins of government are dropped from his bands. He has bad sorrows and mistortunes, and is weary of a monarch's life and desires to abdi cate the Austi ian throne. If Bis marck were in power and had a king or emperor who knew enonirh t otn-v him, the result would iossiblv oe to unite in one enormous empire tne uerman aDeakiH? oeoole of Barouf: but C I I Caprivi aud youug William will not be able to jianaee a matter of such magnitude, inueea tney have, to a considrable extent lost their hold ou Qermauy. The defeat of their Army bill, shows the want of the iron hand of Bismarck, and tbeQerman alliance with Austria and Italy has become precarious. Tbe French are jnt in the State to do mischief. Their army is in splendid condition never better aod as Germany is practically with out allies ikiw is the time for France to tetrieve her fortunes. Besides, she wants relief from the Panama trouble. It Oarnot orders an advance towards Germany, the mntteriugs against his govern ment will be succeeded by wild hnzzas. England is by uc means tranquil. She has largely mcreased her military force in Eypr, ami at borne she is rocked by the "Home Liule" agitat.ioh. Tne great, lad stt-ne is fighting tgln.-st teaiful odd-.

The Cot'oii question as diflhsuir ' mn:ig'- an I he sliver q uestion. lr is ditliciir. to make a Southern jdiinter :elie'.e th.it lie mu gft alt n J well wuliiiur ;i gtwxl cut ton crop Men ate air tn lollow Patnek Ht-nry and n:iv ''e have no lamp by whieh nur feet are guide '. bnr. the lamp ol exper ience." "Cotton has been the son roe of wealth at the South, and it will continue to be." Conditions change and we change with them For a long period the South was the cotton field of tbe world. She held an absolute monopoly of tbe cotton trade. The supply was not near equal to tbe demand, prices ranged high and cotton was King. All this is changed. Tbe cotton arena is confined to no section, tribe or nation. India and Russia, with areas vastly greater than that of tbe United States, are in creasing their cotton acreage year after year. The cost of production is less there than it is in this coun try, and their people can prosper at prices ou Which ours would starve. Russia and India can successfully compete with the United States in the lower grades of cotton, while Egypt can distance us on tbe better grades. As a matter of faot, it will not be many seasons before the pro duction of long staple cotton will be utterly wiped out in the South. A few years ago it was a growing indaotry.bnt tbe time is past. The Egyptian laborers are able to work for little or nothing and board themselves, and tbe cotton crop there is responsive to the slightest cultivation. Bat there is still greater danger. Nearly tbe whole of South America is suited to tbe production of cotton Braz I produce- all varieties to almost absolute perfec tion. It is estimated that the cot ton area of South America is this year twice as great as it was lam. Now with these facts before u is it safe for us to relv udoti cotton other crops! , We have long held, and repeatedly , urged in these columns, that eot'on is not tho money crop of North J Carolina. The great point with North Carolina fanners should be tbe production of borne supplies. Tbey ooght by all means to raise their horses and mules, and their meat and bread. It will not do to rely alone npon cotton. North Carolina cotton producers never get tbe highest prices because they are too late getting to market and they never make full crops be cause the seasons are too short. Diversify your crops, gentlemen, and raise your home supplies. 0 PAXUER. i A brave man may try to avoid the danger that he is prepared to meet ith calm resolution. Indted caution is the safeguard of tbe brae. ) his is a Cleveland Administra tion Democratic to the core, but ma'ked by the striking personality of its ohidf. Cabinet officers are but his agents. All men admit the bravery of the President, nd tbe caution that he is exhibiting but strengthens tbe confidence ot tbe people in bis ad ministration. When Mr. Cleveland called Mr. Carlisle to tbe Secretaryship of the Treasury he knew that the great Kntuckiau was no reckla s ad venturer, but a cautious explorer of the profoud depths and treacher ous shoals of finance. There were dauger signals all around. The Treasury was empty, and the ques tion of its replenishment was one of" the cravest concern. Resolute ly but ceutioualy Carlisle ad dressed himself to tbe tahk. Al ready the public pulse has toued down to its not mat beat; and it is no unusual thing to bear business meu say "there Is no danger now." Confidence in Cleveland aud Car lisle is causing streams oi gold to flow into tbe Tieasnry. Gresbam, whether Democrat or Republican, is a well poised man. There is nothing erratic about him. "Jlugoism" has do place in bis composition. In tne adminis tration of tbe State office be will deal justly wi'.h all nations. American in every fiber of his being, be will uphold the honor of bis oonntry, and at j tbe same time render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. There is no dauger that this country will be involved in unnecessary inter national complications. But, we are told that Mr. Cleve land abandoned his usnal caution and evinced bis "bull beadness" when he appointed Hoke Smith Secretary ot the Interior. There is no danger, as has been intimated, that "Hoke Smith will break the belly-baod and runaway with the wagon. The (jreorylan ih wpiriied but not, fractious. lie will -oik steadily bear ou ibe hit and keep his traces tight.. Ve expected that there would be a Imwl iu the unreconstructed eectio.i of the North when Mr. Clef. I nd placed a Southern man at The head ol the Department having id charge the Pension Bureau, and e are not suprised that tiie howl grew 'ouder and more iuriou- wneu it was an-nouut-ed tlia:, Josphus Daniel, ol Norf h ! irolni , w ts to l C immis Miotiernf Pulsions. RiaUv there is no 'I iMi."-''. H )ke Smith and Joseph ii -4 Diuiels are Southern men, tm-. iht- are none the less natio ial. Tim ho lor and tbe rights of Uuiou soldiers is as safe in their hands as ia tae keeping of tbe best men iu "the Grand Army of the Republic." There is no danger to be appre hended, in any Department, from recklessness or sectional prejudice. If the re could be a tendency to either it would be held in check by the iron hand of Cleveland. The destines of the Republic have beeu committed to the Demo cracy, and there is no dauger. THB Star saye: "A New York man who was sued for a debt of 2 000, pleaded his inability to pay it as bis income was only $40,000 and it took that much to support him and bis family. Some men do find it migety bard to scuffle aloDg in this world." "Secretary Herbert's abort arm can sympathize with Secre tary Gresham's short leg. It was a Federal bullet in the Wilderness that shortened the former and a Confederate bullet near Atlanta that shortened the latter. Republican collectors of cus toms, revenue officers, etc., are taking the President at his word as to boldingon to tbe end of their terms, and only two have sent in their resignations. ANew Missouri statute makes it a penitentiary offense for a hus band to desert bis wife nntil they have lived together for at least ten years. Ten years ago the South's agri cultural, manufacturing and min ing products aggregated in value about f 1,200,000,000; now tbey are about $2,100,000,000. Thb first diplomatic change under the present administration will be at London, where Consul New will be succeeded by Gen Collins. Alabama cotton men have in creased i he acreage 20 per cent. The natural result is co reduce the price much more than 20 per cent. Vice President Stevenson will be invited to deliver the ad dress at the Guilford Battle Ground celebration, July 4th. Thb exhibit at the World's Fair of tbe great German gun makes, Krupp, is estimate! to cost $1.500r 000. Judge Dick contradicts the report that he is going to retire I from the Federal court bench.

R. Davis, W. Spivey, Lewis Wil liams, Henry Spruill. Albert Butler, Ja cob Long. All of the signers as we stated yester day signified their full intention of mak ing terms with Mr. Bryan regardless of the action of others and yesterday when the representative delegation from James City met Mr. Bryan to have writ ten terms of agreement submitted to them by him. he offered terms so gener ous that the whole settlement agreed to them and are ready to sign th ire ready to sign tne necessary leases. Mr. Bryan gave the following remarka ble accomodating terms. Each inhabi tant is to lease the premises he is occupy ing at the very moderate charges of $ 1 .00, 75 cents, oO cents or 25 cents per month according to value (a there tri vail rate and at the expiration of three years he would absolutely give( the improvements on each place to the occupants and they could either move them or lense the ground as they choose and also he gives) them at the ex piration of the time the churches and school house?, and in the meantime he would charge them no rent for them, neither would he charge the old and in firm people any rent. Mr. Bryan, however, reserved the priv ilege of using the water front lots for in dustrial establishments, if the opportun ity ot starting one should arise at any time. He agreed though, that in case such an event did occur with an occu pied lot, he would give the tenant the im provements at once without any further payment, and he could either move them entirely away or lease another lot and put tiiem on it. Thus ends one of the most extraordi nary occurrences on record. An entire town built up by the exigencies of war on one man's land, and the settlers oc cupying for 30 years without ever pay ing a cent of purchase money or rent, or even saying, "by jour leave." And for ten years Mr. Bryan has been seeking to come into possession ef his property, and has now succeeded in doing so. The colored people also have much to rejoice in ovei the agreement reached. By law, the improvements put on the ground without the owners consent be long to him, as much so as the land itself, and one way of looking at the matter would be that the betterments would simply counterbalance the use of the land, still, Mr. Bryan in a spirit of praise worthy fairness, lets those who built there retain possession, and agrees to sur render his claim on them in the time stated, at which time he will only hare recovered the rentals from them off 36 for the best and $ 9 for the poorest places. The occupants, if they choose, have priv ilege of paying these sums at once and ob tabling immediate ownership of their houses. We are glad for both parties in the liti gation, for the welfare of the community and tor the good name of the Stsrte, that matters hare been adjusted so harmoni ously. It is well tor all. Rev. A. R. Raven is publishing at Ken ansville, a monthly religious paper. The Southern Christian Herald and News Digest. Green B. Raum, Commissioner of pen sions has resigned. Deputy Commission er Andrew Davidson takes charge of the office till an appointment by the Presi dent of Raum's successor. The Morganton Herald says that $70,- 000 appropriated for the completion ot the deaf and dumb school there, w ith the amounts already expanded will make the buildings cost $100,000. The grounds embrace over 200 acres. Work on the main building will soon be resumed. The basement and first story walls were built last year. Mr. J. R. Hatch, with Mr. E. S. Street has returned from North river marsh near Beaufort, with a lot ot ponies. These little, tough, wiry animals that live in a wild state on the coast do not look very pretty at first, but with the least care they soon become as trim and gentle as a pet, and often command good prices. For light service they prove quite valuable. The Stock Market. The year of 1893 has started out with fine prospects for still further develop ment of New Berne as a point for dis tributing stock, not only in this and surrounding counties but supplying tine bred horses at a distance. Messrs. M. Hahn & Co. have just shipped a blooded bay to a gentleman in Raleigh and only u few days ago disposed of three more splendid animals to a party living in Gnfton. Our other dealers, Messrs. Stewart, Street and Jones, are go ahead business men and it is through their effort that purchasers of stock are attracted here and New Berne made known as an ex ceptionally good place to select horses and mules for all the various requirements farm teams, roadsters, saddlers, race horses, etc. There is oaict.-ly no time during the year that these dealers do not have large numlK-rs on hand to meet the demand, and their being liberal adver tisers and men with plenty of push, accounts for the building up of this line of business. A Fox Shot in the City. There was a fox hunt in the city yester day. Sir Reynard was discovered and killed in the yards of New Berue Lumber Company, centrally located and one of the most thickly settled portions of the watsr front. Mr. J. S. Basnight brought him down with a Flobert rifle alter an exciting little chase, participated in by Messrs. Basnight, C. L. Hall and J. E. Borden of the mill and some of their friends among whom was Mr. J. L. Coss ler of Philadelphia who was at the mill on business at the time. The fox has been seen in the vicinity of the mill at intervals for two or three years past, but he has not been hunted before. He was fat, indicating that he had been faring well. This is not the first instancee of game around the mill rabbits have repeatedly been seen there,a!so musk rats. Two opos sums have been killed there and some 25 or 30 wild ducks were killed in the log pond during the cold weather. How come the mill to have so large a share of game. Is friend Basnight keeping a menagerie and avariary in his hollow logs and are the animals ami birds that, have been killed in the yard and water about it, some that have come out from them lor an airing. Collegiate Institute Literary Classes. Dropping in without notice at the Collegiate Instil ute for a short visit we had a good demonstration ol the admira ble work that Prof. Adams and his excellent corps of teachers are doing. We entered Prof. Adams room just as his two literary classes, the advanced class in English literal ure and the Lock vood literary class were assembling. He put the classes to a practical test of the extent to which they were able to put the instruction they had received into prac tice, by reading narrative poems, each of which would take up about two pages of an ordinary school text book one poem for one class the other for the other class. Very few indeed ot the class members had ever seen or heard the poems read before. After reading them he gave the pupils about fifteen minutes in which to reproduce the narrative in prose. The reading of the papers by the writers which followed next, showed that with almost entire unanimity they had grasped all sa.ient points, missed very few of the minor ones, and their quickly prepared renditiens of the facts, in new wordings were in the main grace- full v written with well constructed sen tences. Both classes acquitted them selves well. The other departments, likewise showed the good effects of the excellent training at the Institute. J - - i Fences Burned on Three Plantations. A serious fire occured at Croatan yes terday. Fire got away from a farmer who was burning off a portion of a field and destroyed several miles ot fencing about all that there was on the planta tions of Mesrs. Gray and Brice, A. Du Four and H. A. Brown, and it was with difficulty that the houses on the planta tions were saved. The tire broke out in thejmorning and the whole neighborhood turned out and worked hard, yet it was late in the day before it could be sub dued. The loss is considered to be about four or five hundred dollars. Uannis Taylor. We see that Mr. Hannis Taylor, of Mobile, ia a candidate for the position of Minister to Spain.. He will have the good wishes of North Carolinians for success in that to which he aspires. Mr. Taylor is a native of New Berne and resided here a short time since the war. He is an own cousin of Mr.M.DeW. Stevenson, of this city aud read law with our late townsman, Maj. John Hughes. Mr. Taylor is now a distinguished con stitutional historian and lawyer of Mobile. His work on the constitutions of Great Britain and the United States, the first volume of which has been pub lished, and the second of which he is preparing, is pronounced by the English to be the ablest work on the subject that has ever been written. A violent snow storm in the northwest has blocked travel and caused consider able suffering and some deaths. Prairie fires are raging in Kansas. Seven persons all farmers, were caught be tween two of the fires and burned to death. The Carnegie Company has decided to give colored laborers first chance in its works in preference to foreigners. 250 arrived from the. South Monday, and the managers expect nearly a thousand in month. The first issue of -'Our Fatherless Ones" is at hand. It is the newspaper repre- sentative of the Presbyterian Orphans HontP Rarinm Snrinirs. V. C Tt. is n. j IO' readable four-page semi-monthly paper published at the very low price of 50 cts. a year.

To some of our citizens it -a..- j.;..! -ably a surprise to learn of the -n-jn n-i r of thi- Daily Current. of this eitv.u hi- l I" gan its existence the first of the pn ni year. In its valedictory, it annor.et - failure to meet expenses as a i aii-( ,l tl suspension. Three dollars a year, llu-pritc "I il.i Current, is too mall a prii e ,v daily paper, and it takes years and ( ,e siderable capital to get them tirmh -tablished in the confidence of th.- pcn;-le. There was no lack of business push en the part of the proprietors ol the ' rent to keep it going. They worked !on-r and late. Three and tour o'clock ; i f '. , r midnight often caught them todin t please its readers, while at the sum- i.a.e others v-t-re calmly sleeping tin :r ii-mr- . ! rest. The public in general - ar e ly ever realize the hard work and t-xpt a-,-attached to a daily paper, and if it dm-- not somthing like approach those in larger cities, regardless of surrounding circum stances, the paper is almost sure to meet with unfavorable criticism. This advene, criticism of course applies principally to that class of readers who would have the : paper discuss matters as they see them, and the other class are those whose prin- j cipal occupation is to always be on tin look out for something to complain 1 about. J We would like to make the Journal I equal in every respect to any paper in the State, and we could do it if the pat ronage were sufficient to meet the neces saiy additional expenses. Our readers would like to have the Journal such a paper aswe have spoken of,and sometimes say to us, ''make the pap-. r better by ' taking the dispatches, etc., so that the very latest news from all parts t.fl the world can be obtained in it and the needed additional patronage will come." Here is a common desire on the part of ourselves and friends, but tin re arc different views as to obtaining the act , .in plishment of that desire. One side says 'give better patronage, and we will give better paper; the other side says, '-yive I a better paper and we will iive better i.T i ;h patronage." How can those holding two vievys looking toward the same ob ject, be brought to sec tne matter in tin- same way. so tflat the desired end may b,- attained We think the easiest way i by a little retrospective glance, unieli wejthink is calculated to prove, th i: "-ir position of simply giving what tie in come of the paper justifies is tin- mi! tenable one. The Journal when it first cann , i In city took the dispatches and was in all lines a worthy representative of New Berne and Eastern North Carolina it j was so acknowledged and tin p-.-.-ph-j were proud ofit, ami point l- i:s cv. 1- i lence even to the present. But the i'.n ! , remains that though tne people were -o well satisfied with the paper, they .1:1 not give it an income as large as the out lay it was making, and the experiment causetl it to sink over a thousand dollars and the dispatches had to be dropped and the paper run not according to the praise, but according to the cash it re ceived, and yet we have always dtsind to take the dispatcheATd there are oilier pmprovements we woultl like to make u we could see our way clear to do so, but in the face of past experience, we do not feel like depending on the increase of patronage paying the additional expen ses that would per-force be incurred, so we can but follow the policy we have been pursuing of not giving a better paper than its income will pay for and still giv ing as good as can be made with the money received. With two-third of population t-f New Berne and Craven county colored a- large a number of subscribers cannot be1 obtained as might at first as suppose,!. I Also our mail facilities arc inadequate I -r ! easily reaching the more rural districts. j It is not said in any spirit of boastlul-l ness, but the Journal has battled longer . and more faithfully for New Berne and the I interests of this section than any of its; predecessors, sind it has always been its j highest aim to be of the greatest benefit , to the greatest number of people ami never yielding to the influence of tactions or rings. Not only was it a matter ol ( choice in our keeping free ol these en- I ticements, bu it has paid us in the long i run.
