The following passage from. Mr.
Sherman's late speech m the sen
ate should admonish Democrats
aDd impel, them to the performance
of duty. "In times past we (the
Republicans) never shrunk from
responsibility. We were Republi
cans because we believed in Repub
lican principles and measures. Bat
whenever a question oame up that
had to be decided we never pleaded
the baby act or said that we could
not agree. We met together in con
clave, and there agreed; and in
that way were passed all the great
laws which have marked Amer
ican history in the last thirty
rears.''
An incident of the International

shark fins; and the Japanese cook
will present a wonderful gelatinous
porridge made from sea weeds and

nevertheless be t ruly anticipated
that there will be a pretty kettle of

provement possible in the industry
thraugh the application of scientific

There is aC present i iiMinht
drifting from party hue as is
abundantly illustrated by the at
titude of tbe United States Seuate. ,
This results not so m joh from i
the decadence of Democratic pno-
ciples as it ('oes from the want of
that discipline which ic absolutely
necessary for lue success of any or-.
gaoizatiou. An army that, abau '
dooing all discipline, goes maraud-1
ing in squad-, fills an easy prey
to Hie enemy.
Republicans are using the pres
eut anomolous condition of affairs
iu iheSeiiiite for party advantage,
but Democrats will please remeiu
that uo strictly Democratic priuci-
ple is at issue. It is a struggle over
a measure which is distinctly de
clared to be outside of Jparty lines.
The disasterous effect cf the pres.
ent muddle upon the Democratic
party arises from the fact that the
repeal bill is a measure recommend
ed by a Democratic President and
its defeat will be the failure of a
Democratic administration. Re
publican Senators are no doubt
honestly in favor of a gold stan
dard, but with them the success of
their monetary idea is secondary
to the overthrow of the Cleveland
administration.
It is perhaps now too late for a
Democratic caucus to settle the dif
ficulty. It could have been done
in tbe earlier days of the session,
but senators have taken position
on a measure ostensibly non-partisan.
Passions have been aroused;
hot words have been spoken,
and high-mettled men will not eat
their words for the sake of party
harmony.
when the end to the contest will
come no man can tell. But it will
come, and we feel assured that
Democrats will theu hasten to heal
the breach in their ranks, and pre
sent a solid front in the defense of
the great priocplea that have given
to the Democratic party its oharao
ter and its fame. Times change
and men change wi'.h then, but the
immutable principles cf tthe Amer-
Dernocracy are eternal.
HETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
The Journal, bom the begin
ning of the present session of Cor
gress, has Deeu advocating a cau
cus of Democatic Senators as the
best means of arriving at a solu
tion of the silver qnestion. Much
evil has been done by warring ele
ments in the Democratic party,
which ought, to have been avoided.
At last there is some prospect of
holding a caucus of Democratic
Senators, but the movement is
strongly opposed hy what is known
as Administratiea or Repeal Dem
ocrats. Will Democrats who have been
demauding theiule of the majority
please take notice of this? If a cau
cus is held, and the majority is to
determine the action of the party,
the repeal men will be hopelessly
defeated. Democrats shout for ma
jority rule, aud yet refuse to yield
to a majority of their own party !
What right have Democratic
Senators to bow in acquiescence to
a majority composed in the most
part by Republicans! As well might
the Democrats of theolst Congress
have been asked to complacently
yield to the Republican majority
in advocacy of ttie Force bill. A
majority ot the supporters of un
conditioual repeal are Republicans
in alliance with a minority of Dem
ocrats. Mr. Cievelaud favors repeal, and
that gives to it the appearance of
being a Democratic measure, but
when, in all history, was there ever
a Democratic measure that could
not pass the ordeal of u Democrat

We do not profess to have

They make the Marylander wish, how
ever, that the State had such a great dis
p!av in the Fisheries Building as she
might have made. North Carolina has
i there made the strongest kind of a bid
for recognition as the oyster, wild fowl
j and tish producer of the Atlantic sea-
i board, and has even several dii-mond-!
back terrapins walking around an up
I right post, inside of a wire eage, with a
label near by explaining that they are the
most, expensive table luxury in the United
States. The funny post and the wire
cage give strangers an idea that the ter
rapins are fierce and terrible animal, a id
tliev involuntarily look around to see a
terrapin tamer, in pink tights, with a
club and pisto!s, like the man who goes
into the circus lion's den.
Well, there is no use in crying over
spilt milk, and if Maryland hasn't a big
ger fisheries display than the neat little
one in the Maryland Building, that OEe is
at least instructive and lentertaining. By
the way, Chicago spills a great deal of
milk over Maryland oysters, tor a twenty
five cent stew here is five down-hearted,
sad-eyed oysters in a pint of Illinois
milk.
Alligator at Adams Creek.
Capt. E. F. Carraway, ot Adams creek
tells us of a surprising experience that
befell him near his home a few days ago.
He had goDe into a thick swamp near
the creek and while there a large alliga
tor started to attack him.
The alligator was in his hole and the
first known of his presence was when he
stuck his nead threateningly at the cap
tain, who was then only about six feet
distant with no weapon except his ax.
He lifted that, ready for striking and
the alligator after blowing at him in an
angry manner, backed into his hole and
then the captain without delay sought
safer surroundings.
He informs us that a colored man this
summer found a nest of twenty-five alb
gator eggs near the same place and that a
nest was once before found in the neigh
borhood. It is quite likely that a party will make
an effort to find the alligator ''at home"
and probe him out and kill him.
North Carolina Buggies.
There is not as ranch manufacturing
done in this State as there should be
but what North Carolina is doing in this
line, she is doing well.
We are led to refit et this by a look at the
great stock of buggic-o just received at
Mr. J. W. Stewart's. A few years ago,
nearly all, if not every vehicle in such a
lot would have been western made. Now,
nearly :;!1 are of North Carolina manu
facture. This lot was male to Mr.
Stewart's order with added points of ex
cellence of his own suggestion. Promi
nent among these are the ones from the
fac'ory of Mr. C. T. Randolph, Kinston,
and Tyson & Jones, Carthage. They are
not surpassed by any in bfauty, con
venience, durable qualities, or other par
ticulars. Cot ion Labor in Mccklenbiirg.

following preamble and resolutions were
read and unanimously adopted :
Whereas, the great and Supreme Ruler
of the universe has in His infinite wisdom
removed from among us one of our
worthy and esteemed fellow laborers,
Jas. C. Harrison, and whereas, the long
and intimate relation held with him in
the faithful discharge of bis duties in
this Lodge, makes it imminently befitting
that we record the appreciation of him
therefore,
Resolved, That the wisdom and ability
which he has exe-cised in the aid of our
organization by service, contribution and
couusel, will be held in grateful Jremern
brance. Resolved, That the sudden removal of
such a life from among us leaves a va
cancy and a shadow that will be deeply
realized by all the members and friends
of this Lodge, and will prove a serious
loss to the cammunity and public.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the de
ceased, we express our hope that even so
great a loss to us, may be over-ruled for
good by Him who doeth all things well.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread upon the records ot this
Lodge, a copy printed in the New BercA
JofRNAi. and a copy be forwarded to tbe
family of the deceased.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Passed by the V entry of St. Cyprian
Parish of New Berne, N. C,
October 2d, 1893.
Vhereae. it has pleased our Divine
Father to remove by death our late Ben
efactor, the Rev. Edward McArtney
Forbes, who departed this lite Sept.
zaiu, i heretore be it,
Resolved, That while we bow in hum
ble submission to the will of Almighty
God, who doeth all things weil, yet in
his death we leel that we have lost a true
and devoted fn'end, the Diocese an able
counselor and the Church an exemplar,
which we deplore, but we believe our
loss is his eternal gam.
Resolved, That us the founder and for
several years the foster father of" St. Cyp
rian Mission, and alterwards manifested a
great interest in its material and spiritual
grow th, ami that in latter years, when he
came to visit us, he brought telegraphic
theological speculations of Divine Truth,
and never left us without our hopes being
stronger in "The Faith once delivered to
the Saints." and that God is not so far
away that the wings of dream and hope
cannot carry the inquiring soul, it is
therefore very right and proper that a
day be set a part for memorial services
to ue neicl in grateful remembrance of
the said Rev. Edward McArtney Forbes,
nesoivea, mat the 1st day of Novem
ber A. D, 1893 being "AL Saints Day,"
be named for the said memorial ser
vices. Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the New Berne Jour
nal for publication and a copy te
plnced upon the record book of the
Parish.
Whate'er my God ordains is right

Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall.

Attempted Habeas Corpus Fails.
A writ of habeas corpus was taken out
by Edward Murphy yesterday, alleging
that a magistrate had juiisdiction and
sole jurisdiction In the case of assault of
which he was guilty. The case was heard
before Jude Bryan at tbe court house at
4 p. m. Mr. J. W. Waters appeared for
the prisoner and Hons. F. M. Simmons
and L. J. Moore represented Mr. Hancock
and moved that the writ be dismissed.
At the conclusion of Mr. Waters'
speech the judge declared that it w as not
nesessary for those on the opposing
side to say anything. He promptly de
cided that the magistrate had no jurisdic
tion over it that the case was one tor
the Superior court. ,
Judge Bryan, however, reduced the
bond by a hundred dollars and Murphy
was accordingly remanded to jail to await
bnpenor court, or until he gave a 200
justified bond and paid the costs of the
proceedings.
The Storm at Pantego.
The storm completely wrecked the
railroad bridge over Kirklers creek, near
Pantego so that no trains could p. ess from
Friday the 13th to the following Tuesday,
though the repairing force worked all
through the Sabbath to get it in read
iness again.
The tide was so high that a good por
tion of the lands around that w ere usual
ly dry were a foot deep in water. It i?
pronounced the highest tine ever known
there.
The wind also blew the Baptist church
steeple off at Pantego. It whs a large
and good ono.
The roacls nroind Bell Haven were
also considerably damaged.

Wm. Dry, a young colored man em

thirty miles an hour and broke his neck.
His body was taken to his home in

Ituiletin No. 92, of the North Garolina
Agriculture station on "The Culture or
Orchard and Garden Fruits" is one of the
best publications issued from the station.
It iB a work of 144 pages on good thick
paper and in strong paper binding. It is
a practical and comprehensive treatise of
the subject, largely scientific but in lan
guage understood oy the plain man of
ordinary education. It embraces orchard
work from the earliest start at propaga
tion and planting up to the gathering,
preservation and shipping of the various
fruits. It treats of insects both injurious
and beneficial and tells how to fight the
former and also tells of tbe causes of dis
ease, ways to prevent and methods of
treatment where disease of any kind has
invaded an orchard.
The publications of the Agricultural
station are worthy of preservation and
ought to be in the library of every read
ing and thinking farmer and it is desired
to place them in tbe bands of such grat
uitously all over the State, but promis
cuous distribution is not desired too
many copies would be wasted aDd they
are too valuable to go to waste, but if any
farmer properly appreciates tbe work
the station is doing in behalf o
agriculture and wanU to get the fullest
benefit of its work, any publication or all
will be sent him upon application.
No State is doing more for the cause
of agriculture than ours, and the fanner
who fails to avail himelf of all benefits
afforded misses a golden opportunity.
Powder In the Fire Engine,
Tbe New Berne Fire Company's steam
engine not having worked satisfactorily
lately, Mr. Herbert Willis started to give
it a .good cleaning out. As heprocedei
with the work the startling discovery
was made that it contained four packages
of gunpowder amounting in all to about
six ounces and that ammonia had keen
mixed with the water in the boiler.
The position ot two of the packages
indicated that some one familiar with
engines had placed them there.
It is not generally considered that,
divided as the packages were that serious
results either to the engine or parties
near would have followed even had they
become ignited. Graver Apprehensions
were felt as to the amonia the fear being
entertained that it might have generated
gas and caused a boiler explosion.
An investigation of tbe occurrence jwas
held before the fire department commit
tee of the Board of City Council and upon
their recommendation Mayor Ellis sus
pended the engineer, Mr. Jas. Manwell,
until the Board of Council acts in tbe
matter and appointed Mr. Herbert Willis
to serve in his stead until that time.
Mr. Manwell says he has no knowledge
of the matter at all.
$209 25 Sent to the Brunswick Sufftr.
ers.
One more dollar given by Mr. L. J.
Moore was added to the list raised for
the yellow lever sufferers at Brunswick,
Ga,. which we published and the entire
amount sent off by express. A telegram
was also sent announcing its coming.
Knowing it 1b on the way will no
doubt enable any relief committee of tbat
city to purchase needed supplies based
on its fact even before its arrival.
The total amount was $209.25 a very
good sum to be raised on such a short
notice, the Board of City Council are to
be commended for the quick action and
good personal work in the matter and the
citizens for the prompt response to the
appeal.
The Hunting Season.
The quail bunting season does not
begin until November 1st, and lasts until
March 15th. At any other season of tbe
year the statutes of North Carolina make
it a misdemeanor, punished Jby a fine of
ten dollars for each offense, to "kill,
shoot, trap or net any partridges, quail
doves, robins, lark, mocking-birds or wild
turkeys."
Many people think the law only applies
to the quail, but the above is the language
of the statute.
State Geologist Holmes proposes to
devote tbe Winter 'to the investigation of
the pine forests in tbe eastern seel ion of
the State.
Big Ike and H. B. Duffy mado one of
the biggest deals Wednesday that has
been mado in tbe city in a long time.
Big Ike sold all hisl dress goods to Mr.
Duffy at a sacrifice, aud Mr. Duffy sold
all of his clothing to Big Ike in tbe same
way. Bargians at both ends of the line
and customers get the benefit.
The Goldsboro Argus gives the follow
ing item: ''Grant Reid, a colored section
hand on the A. fc N. C. R. R., with bis
home in this city, fell from a moving
hand-car near the Stony Creek bridge
Saturday evening and the car passed
over his body, from the effects of
which he died Sunday. He was a good
workman and had been in the employ of
the road for some 20 years."
Big Ike has not made an assignment as
some people thought when they saw Mr.
E. B. Duffy's (to whom Big Ike had sold
all his dress goods) and so many ol his
clerks in the store of tbe former taking
an inventory. Big Ike asks bow can any
such thing as an assignment take place
when every dollars worth of goods in his
store is paid for, and if any body thinks
'he is busted," just offer him some good
stocks at 40, 50 and 67 1-2 cents on the
dollar and he'll show 'em.
A corsespondent of the News-Observer
Chronicle gives the following account of
; a highway robbery in the western part of
the State- "Mr. Al Clay of Hickory,
was riding on horse back on the road
leading from Callettsville to Globe on
Friday evening, eighteen miles from Le
noir. A white man and a negro stopped
him in the road and presenting pistols
demanded his money. He refused to
give it up, when they overpowered him
and cut his pocket open and took from
him $44. The robbers were strangers in
that part of the county and made their
escape."

In Craven and Bordering Counties
More House Supplies Raised Than
Usual.
Maj. S. D. Pope and Mr. W. E. Snell
ing are back from an extended trip by
buggy in several adjoining counties.
They traversed considerable portions of
Craven, Jones, Pitt and Greene counties.
Mr. Snelling was in to see us yesterday
morning and gives an extremely iratify
lng report of the eondiiion of the crops
and of the rural activity and prosperity
in every quarter visited. He says there
is no end to the cotton, corn, hog and
bominv. The two former crops be con
siders to be the best be has ever seen and he
says the finest field of cotton he saw at
all was that of Mr. M. W Carman, a few
miles from this city. Mr. Snelling did
not find out the variety but described it
as beinjz bcad-hitrh, lone; limbed, with
many branches and all thickly covered
with large bolls about ir0 to the- tlalk,
tbe lower part open, the upper not. The
field was partly picked over lor I be first
time tbe bands were then at work in it.
(We hope Mr. Carman has remembered
the Fair and saved a Dumber ot stalks of
the cotton in perfect condition fur exhi
bition.) In Pitt and Greene counties be finds
great quantities of tobacco that grades
well and is commanding prices well re
munerative as high ab 2Hc. per pound
clear through.
Another gratifying report is in refer
ence to the great extent to which the
farmers are going buck to ante-bellum
ways iu manufacturing their own symp
and molasses. Mr. Snelling tells us that
in his trip be found not less than fifty
evaporators at work and that a Greene
county merchant informed him tbat here
tofore he had been selling from filty to
seventy-five barrels of, molasses bat this
season he did not expect to sell five, ao ,
great was tbe extent to which the farmers
had gone into making their own supplies
of it.

Down on Prize Fighting.
Gov. Flower of New York has taken
steps to stop the proposed pri.c fight at
Coney Island between .lames J. Corbetf,
tbe champion America prize fighter nd
Charles Mitchell, the Englishman who
was to oppose him.
When Corbett received word that tbe
King's county officials at a special meet
ing had de :ided to Htop the proposed
fight, be said he proposed going on with
his daily training as heretofore and if the
fight did not come off it would be no
fault of his.
Mitchell said if it was illegal in one
State he thought it was in all and be
proposed Mexico or Havana for the tight
and to tight under London rules with
bare knuckles.
CANT FTGHT IN NEW ORLEANS.
Gov. Foster, in an interview on tbe
subject of the depression of prize-fighting
in that State, said he would take steps
to prevent them being held there. In
his opinion there is no great likelihood of
tbe Mitchell-Corbett or other events tak
ing place there. Should there be, bow
ever, be will at once take st?ps whereby
such attempts will be thwarted.
Mr. A. Hatchttt writes ns that a good
force is at work on tbe New Berne Direc
tory and that it will be ready for delivery
next week.
Mr. Joe A. Moiton of Harlowe was up
to tbe city Friday with cotton on the

of about twelve tons, burthen built by Mr
Morton at his home and designed to run
