THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
The Federal Supreme Oourt su
itrtins the constitutionality of tbe
j Chinese Exclusion act.
This may he a case somewhat
jlike that whicn caused the great
'apostle 111 exclaim; "All ihuis

d.m ot enforcing this law. Will
A'ut-ncau interests, civilization

If the court was folly agreed as
to. Us constitutionality, grave
doubts would be entertained as to
its expediency bnc. with such
learned j-idges as Chief Justice
F. dler aud Justices Field and
Kreer di-teuiiug from the decis
i hi of tiie court, the gravity of the
oituatiou ih greatly enhanced.

The lex talionti may

and American merchants aud mis
siouaries be compelled to leave the
Celestial Empire.
Existing treaties give Americans
special advantages and privileges
which it is supreme folly to reck
lessly throw away.
But, however Berioas may be tbe
injury to commerce, the blow to
Christianity will be infinitely more
disasterous if Ami ricans are driven
from the China Mission field be
cause of political complications.
Our fathers did right to sever
Church and State, bat the religions
sentiment is strongest with our
people, and it is the doty of the
Government to respect it.
THE 20th OP MAY.
The 20tb of May is a holiday. It
is not every holiday that is assoc. -afid
with events that affect the
dt-s'iu'es of mankind, bat on this
day we commemorate an event
that set in motion the Revolution
that gave freedom to America, and
kindled the fires of liberty In every
quarter of tbe globe.
It is customary to celebrate tbe
4th of July, as the natal day of
Libertj; bat to the 20th of May
belongs tbe honor of having bless
ed with its morning light and mid
day splendor the first Declaration
of American Independence.
Where was this Declaration
made T Not on the rock-bound
coast of New England, or in any
one of the metropolitan cities of
the North; bat, it was made in
the glorious county of Mecklen
burg in tbegood State ol North
Carolina !
Ours is a land of sages and be
roee; but, how many boys and girls
in tbe Old North State know that
their fathers made tbe Declaration
of Independence, and North Caro
lina was the cradle of Liberty f
Wbose fanlt is it that this grand
old Commouwealth has been rob
bed of ber honors in the past, and
even now is in the shadow of mon
uments, erected to the fame of oth
er states, that ought to be resplend
ent with her glories and vocal with
her praise T
Wherever the fault may be, it is
oar daty to see to it that tbe lights
are turned on, until tbe name of
North Carolina is made to appear
in its proper position on Fame's
prood roll.
The coronation of the 20th of
May marks a new epoch in oar
history. From this time forward,
let its annual return be celebrated
with bonfires and illuminations.
The Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence should be in every
home, and every child made famil
iar with its bis'ory.
It is pleasing to know that the
spirit of oar fathers lives in the
bosoms of their desoendents.
Whenever the sons of North Caro
lina have met in conflict with tbe
men of other states, whether in
battle fields or in the nobler con
tests of mind, the star of Carolina
has shone with resplendent bright
ness aud retulgeBt glory.
While holding in perpetual re
memberance the glory of Mecklen
burg, let us not forget the D. clara
uon ot ldeoendence made by the
American Colonies, on the 4th of
July 177G The glory ot that day.

Castorla. ;
Castoria is truly a marvelous thing fori
children. ?octors prescribe it, medical I
journals recoYnmend it and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-called
soothing syrups and other narcotic aud
i stupefy ing remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach 1
and bowels and give healthy sleep, the I
woild has ever seen. It is pleasaDt to,
the taste and absolutely harmless. It re- j
beves constipation, quiets pain, cures!
diarrhoea and wind colic, allays feverish-j
uess. destroys worms, and prevents con-
vulsioriS, sooines liic cuuu anu gives it
relreshing and natural sleep. Castoria is
the children's panacea the mothers'
friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bottles
only. It is not sold in bulk. Don't
allow any one to sell you anything else
on the plea or promise tuat it is "just as
good" and ''will aQSwer every purpose.''

The Sooth is loyal to the I'utou.
The people of North Carolina cheer
fully contribute to the support nl
thb Federal Government, a . i in
nothing do thej more readily ac
quiece thn in the besto-v.il i
reasonable pensions upon uie.,-
torious soldiers who fought uti i i
the stars and stripes in t tie war be
tween the States.
But, while contributing to the
comfort of Northern milters,
have a more sacred duty to perform
in the maintainane of" th..-e whose
brave bosoms were the hi ! l- m
oar homes and the defense of .on
liberties.
As we are opposed to allowing
unjust pensions to Federal soldiers,
so we are opposed to giving them
to North Carolina Confederate-:
bat we insist that it is tho duty o"
the State to make as lib-r.i! p' -vision
for meritorious di ib'e'l
Confederates as the treasury wih
permit.
The State Board of Pension :: i-
jaat issued an order, that v v-
pear in the columns of the Jour
nal, which it will be well for ail
parties interested to observe.
Toe brave who bleed for home
and liberty never die. If there
are those who believe that it is
time for tributes to Confederati
soldiers to cease, we be. them to
consider that the men who fought
tbe battles of the South ac ed m
obedience to the eommands of their
States, and displayed virtues
worthy of perpetual remembrance
Their names are forever enbaluied
in the memories of t he virtuous and
the good, and future generation:,
will pay grateful homage to tl:e:i
splendid heroism and sublitm- devo
tion to duty.

The Spanish Minister insists that

our Metropolitan t-ociety, who h.ive
long since adop'ed Enropeau mod

made the pretex for introducing
court etiqnet at the Capital t 1
the Republic. But, Mr. Cleveland
is not of that way thinking. lie
maintains that Americuu fashions

It is understood that the I'res -dent
has requested Comodore I)a
to meet the IufanM and extend to
her such attentions :. nnoit
with the proprieties of tie icc.
sion, and in this arrangement I e
will be sustained by a Urge tnaj r

"Give us More Reading."
The above remark was made by one ol
our good subscribers. He remarked tbat
he desired a great amount of reading in
the columns of the Jocrnal if it was
practicable to do so.
Of course we would be glad indeed t
comply with any request ttiat would
make the Jocknal more acceptable to
its readers, but additional reading means
additional expense, and additional ex
pense also means that additional revenue
should go hand in hand with that.
If a town or city is growing, and New
Berne is, it has a right to expect iti
newspaper to go lorward proportionately,
and we are yet to see that paper that bag
not sufficient pride to be just as valuable
an exponent of the place it represents, aa
the place shows an interest in it.
On numerous other occasions some of
our subscribers have wanted the Journal
to take the telegraphic dispatches. We
have repeatedly stated where this waa
entirely impracticable with no more
white population than New Berne has at
present. It is true that it is gaining in
population, more rapidly than ever be
fore in its history, but the point hag not
yet been reached where the press dis
patches would be justified, even as an
experiment.
As to the amount of reading, a refer
ence to the files of the Joukkai will
prove that it has been steadily giving
more ever since it came into existence
eleven yeaia ago.
It is to the interest of every one tbat
the local paper be bright and newsy, but
this result can be obtained only by the
co-ooeration of the public. A good paper,
wherever it may be published, is indica
tive of an industrious and enterprising
people, those who try to place their town
in the front rank of progress and business
enterprise.
fc New Berne and this section generally
is fast building up despite the depression
of 1892, and only a few more years are
required to make us present an entirely
new face to the world. Your local paper
wishes to do its part. It has done it in
the past, and it will so continue In tbe
future.
One Hen Roost Robber in Jail.
One chicken thief, we are glad to say,
is good for tbe penitentary. It is a negro
girl named Gracie Oden, who has been
living on Pollock street. Thursday night
she stole four nice hens from Walter
Eubank and he came across ber next day
as she was trying to sell them. Mayor
Ellis held the preliminary examination
aud bound her over to court which holds
week after next. Of course she failed to
give bond and now languisheth in Craven
county jail until her trial comes off.
This same Gracie Oden has been selling
chickens repeatedly, so she is no doubt
deep in the business but she is not the
only one thus getting an unworthy living
for there has been an unprecidented
amount of stealing lately. Nocturnal
raids upon the hen houses of orr citizens
come almost as often as night does.
The previous night they 'bearded the lion
in his den' and got three hens from city
Marshal Lewis. The night before that
they went to Mr. West Parker's and got
away with all the chickens he had. One
colored woman had fifteen stolen from her
in one night, and on another night, three
hen houses were robbed and some articles
of clothing left in the back yard of an
other citizen were also stolen. At one
place they visited they had to skip with
out securing any booty. A young man
of the household awaked and having
pistols handy he blazed away. All be
accomplished however was to save bis
chickens and to get the pleasure of hear
ing the thief as he ran yell, "Oh Lordyl
don't shoot no more; Oh, Lordyl please
don't shoot no more!"
Until the gang or the several individuals
who are committing these depredations
are discovered and their practice effect
ually quelched, it behooves our citizens to
keep a sharp lookout.
