Senator Gorman prac tically admitted in his closing speech that the financial condition ot the country needed some such healthy and statesmanlike stimu lant, er there was trouble ahead. The business interests of the coun try universally reoognize the need ot decided, courageous, compre hensive Ireatment. Repeal at the best is a mere removal of obstruc tion.

Senator Vano beleives that great injury has been done his people by the passage of the Voorbecs bill. Senator Kansom be lieves that much greater injury would result from the failure and ! ous and frugal, and no people can overthrow of the Cleveland admin, be utterally destroyed by adversi istration. He has faith ia the fu.ity who have not been enervated tare of the Democratic party under the leadership of Grover Cleveland. At all events, he has sense enough to know that the de feat of Cleveland is the defeat of the Democracy and leads directly to Republican triumph. The qaestio'i has arisen, will Sen ator Bausom remaio in the pablic service! There is no man in this proud common wealth who can wear the senatorial toga with more dig nity than Matt. W. Kansom, and hie absence from the Senate would be seriously felt all over the Union. It is said that Senator Ransom will be tendered the place on the Uuited States Circuit Court bench made vacant by the death of Jadge Bond. The Senator would mafce a superb Fedei al Court Judge. If it is said that be has beeu long out ol practice the objection would hold as to State courts but not as fo Federal courtp. He has had much co do with the framing of United States statutes, and it is doubtful if any man, cod, sidering the length aud bredth of official duties, is better prepared for a U .ited S ates Circuit judge ship than Senator Ransom. We know uothing ot the Senator's wishes, but we have no question as to his fitness for the po uion. STATE ELECTIONS EXT WEEK. Thirteen States will hold elect ions next Tuesday. These States are Kentuckey, Maryland, Massa chusetts. Missouri, Nebraska New York, New Jersy, Ohio, Pensylva nia, Iowa. Wisconsin, Virginia and South Dakota We admonit-li Democrats not to look for a tidal wave of Democratic victories. Ic will not come. If we aie not unhorsed in a majorityj of these states we should be satisfied. A united Democracy is invinci ble. Any party divided in council and fighting under different Hags is sure of defeat. Massachusetts, Pensylvania, Ne-' bra-ka Wisconsin and South L'a kota will almost certaiDly go Re-j publican. Kentucky, Messouri, , Maryland and Virginia are safely Democratic, while Iowa, Ohio, New j York aud New Jersy are doubtful. I The doubtful States are cheif ob- jects of patriotic concern. It is, not strange that Iowa and Ohio are : doubtful, but it is discreditable to Uie Democracy tbt New York and New Jersy can be considered. ! Governor Boies was elected in i Iowa two years ao by a plurality of 8,216, but las'- year the Repub-1 lican electonal ticket carried the State by a plurality of 22,96.5. la Ohio the situation indicates a vic tory for McKinly, but not by near ly so large a majority as it was thought he would get three weeks ago Neal is evidently gaining.

Bat, it has passed and we bow respectfully to the decree of Congress. We have never believed that one half of the good or one-tenth of the evil predicted by partisans on eith er side of the controversy would re salt, whatever might be the fate of the bill. Our people are brave, iDdastri- by indulgence and luxury. It becomes each a people as ours to face the future with indomita ble resolution, walking humbly be fore their God and dealing justly with their fellow men. With limitless resources and dauntless courage the furture of our beloved country is full of hope and promise. Forgetting the things that are passed we press forward to a high er destiny. A CHANCE FOR SOME ONE. Some Lands Wanted for Grazing Pur posesA Large Enterprise. W M. Smith, an attorney of Concord, is in receipts ct letters liom parties de siring to pure ase some largo tracts of lard. One wants not less than 10,000 acres for crazing purposes; another wishes a large body of land upon which to locate an English colony; and another one is desir ous of purchasing 10 0o0 or la. 000 acres of hard timber hind or short leat pine. Is there any reason why Nort h (.'am! in.i cannot secure these enterprises '. We think not. There will be no trouble in meeting the wants of those people, pro vided owners of such lands will make it known. Unless Nor'h Carolina rises to the demands ot the occasion, uher states quite enthusiastic on this subject, will reap the benefits of having such enter prises introduced within their borders. It irav not be possible to obtain the lands in such large bodies in Piedmont North Carolina, but there are such tracts available in any western county. Just a little effort secured the Wahlen ses in Burke and that people are de lighted and the community bettered. Such would be the result should tie proper effort be made in tiics.- hc'.er moves We have seen the letters ami tne gen tlemen, seeking these properties, are dead in earnest and mean to act at once.

It has now become a regular custom for liultured people to come with their I fai wi the North and spend tUeir r in New Berne this has been in vogue for fifteen y ears or more and no matter how many other places or noted resorts have been tried by them, they invariably speak in the higlie.-.t terms of our climate, our city and country in general, and some of these visitors re-appear with almost tne regularity of winter itself. Dr. M. P. Robinson, formerly of Ken tucky, now proprietor of the Virginia Dare Hotel at Beaufort is making a special itfort along this line which though in the line of his business merits approval. Being located at Beaufort his strongest efforts are of course put forth for that tow n. He is dist ; '. buting widely circulars descriptive of the place which also contain extracts from some of the many complimentary notices that have been given of it by pleased visitors to the town. The circular speaks ot this region as a shrine of healthfulness where "long sounds sweep silently through bending pines which answer back to every impulse of the breeze'1 jand tells moreover of the fish that sport within the waters and the water fowls that ride upon waves and the gome that ranges on the land. With eulliogs from the opinions of two Lexingtonian's piiblishd 1 in Dr. Robin son's circular we dose: "Editor Press; The coast of North Carolina. South w est of Cape Hatteras, is the most delightful aud healthy portion of our Atlantic seaboard, especially that part of it immediately west of Cape Look out where it runs due east and west." P.

An Indian Funeral In Fayetteville. One of the Indians of Pawnee Bill's Wild West show leaped or fell from the train while en route from Goldsboro to Fayetteville. His skull was cracked and he died that night about nine o'clock. He had been suffering with fever and whether he was demented when he made the fatal leap or whether it was purely accidental is not known. The train was only ten miles from Fayetteville when the accident happened and he was picked up aud taken there. A Fayetteville correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger under date of Oct. 30th gives the following interesting ac count of tbe after occurrences; "Immediately after his death there was an outbreak among his tribe who became unmanageable. They became enraged at Capt. Shaw, the interpreter, and attacked him, whereupon Shaw knocked one of them down with the end of his pistol, and it was found necessary to tie with ropes Falling Stare and Walking Crow. The balance were quieted. This morning when the imprisoned Indians were released, the tribe wanted to cremate their dead companion, but were prevailed upon by Pawnee Bill to desist. Last night they chanted alt kinds of weird and peculiar songs, and at the burial they performed the dance peculiar to the funerals of their race. The dead Indian was named Pan Han dle and was a Brule Sioux, aged 59 years, and with his tribe ca ne from the Rose bud Agency, S. D. Pan Handle was prominent in the Custer massacre. The funeral procession moved through the streets this alternoon aocompanied by the 100 persons of the show. Fayettevi"e never before witnessed an Indian funeral. The name of Burlington's newspape." started a month ago has been changed from the "Whaf"ftilr7' to the Evening Whisper. Mr. fteSWLF. Bates, former ly of New Berie l4l!e city editor. Among pension bureau promotions is that of Mr. John H. Bell, of New Berne from $1,800 to $2,000. This is his sec ond promotion recently. The first ad vancement was from $1,200 to $1,800. An exchange states that though very little gold mining is now done in David son county, Randolph and Montgomery counties abound in the mines, there being uot less than thirty in Randolph. The yield ot one mine in Union county has been estimated at $750,000. The Leaksville Herald of Oct. 27th says : "Last Thursday night a crowd of possum hunters were out hunting near Grogansville, and as they,were about to atop to take a rest, one of them stepped on something that be supposed to be a log. An investigation proved it to be the body of Mr. David Barnes, who had gone out there for some purpose, and had died. The Winston 8entinel states that North Carolina will reap much from its exhibit at the Worlds Fair. Several mining men from the West purpose coming to this State, the Russian commissioner ia desi rous of placing a colony of iarmers in Eastern Carolina and the Japanese com missioner to the Fair has in mind the settling of a colony of artizans to utilize the kaolin deposits of which porcelain is made. The Charlotte Observer gives tbe following curious item : "Twenty sevei years ago a lady moved away from Charlotte leaving a large wash-pot which she owned in charge of a neighbor. The neighbor heard nothing of her alter she left till yesterday, she w rote a postal asking that her wash-pot be shipped to her right away. She made no inquiry for any one of the family. All she was interested in was the pot. It was shipped her forthwith, "with no ex- tra charge for storage." Wedding- on the 8tr. Nense. When the E. C. D. steamer Neuse sailed from New Berne last Wednesday evening, there wag assembled on the wharf a bevy of New Berne's fairest daughters to bid bon voyage to Mr. and Mis. Jack Hollister who were dcpartbig mi their bridal tour. While these ladies were waving their handerchiefs and God speed to the happy couple there was a brave little lady safely h'uhhn nwav from all euquiring eyes and who was rat lier ous until the lines were cast on", the signa bells sounded and the powerful engines put in motion. And as the Neuse glided gracefully away from her wlmrf tlda young lady emerged from her state room and to the surprise of nearly every one on board it was ascertained that Miss Sadie E. Gardner was quietly leaving hi r home to wed the man of her choice, Mr. .las. Naylor Knight. Mr. Knight is an oiler in i he engineer s department on the Neuse and bv los gen tlemanly conduct am 1 st ni l allenbon lo his duties he has gained the ( oiuidence and respect of the officers and crew. When Capt. Davis learned what was on the tapis he called the officers to gether and they unanimously agreed Io make the occasion as pleasant as possi ble. At 11 o'clock a. in., Nov. 2nd, while the Neuse was lying at her wharf at Elizabeth City with colors flying and (he saloon tastefully decorated with bunting. Mr. Jas. Naylor Knight and Mi-s Sadie S. Gardner, , daughter of the late .John O. Gardiner of New Berne, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Rev. Jan. W. , Stiff officiating with ('apt. Peter Davis as best man. After the ceremony the bridal party partook of a dinner that has never before been equalled on the Nause. This novel wedding marks a very pleas ant epoch and one long to be remambeied by those who witnessed it. We extend our congratulations to the happy couple. N. Three Trains Wrecked at Norfolk. There was a fatal wreck and some sad scenes on Norfolk and Western Railroad at Norfolk on the 3l8t, ult. Three trains were involved in the dis aster and an engineer and fireman on on were killed. A misplaced switch caused one train to turn from the main track while going at the usual brisk rate and crash into tbe first of a hundred or more" coal cars on a side. The shock was so great that the first car was crushed like an egg, tbe car jammed together and piled thirty feet high and then with one last effort the mighty engine leap"d upon the top of the broken t'mbers and then rolled over into the ditch. The track on whtch the local freight was then coming ran very close to the one on which the coal ears had been standing and the collision piled the debris of cars aud the loads of coal on this track down which the freight was. coming. The engineer saw his way blocked when only a few rods away. There was no time to reverse his engine. He jumped; so did his crew and saved their lives and moment later there was the second great crash, followed by the hiss ing of steam, flying of timbers, p,;ing of cars, and the second act of a gicut t age dy was consummated. The destruction of property was great both engines, large ones, were seriously broken and battered and the tenders of each one left only fit for old iron and kindling wood. Eight freight cnin were more or less injured and three were com pletely destroyed. The Express Company and the Fish Again. We had an article a few days ago on tbe neglegince of the express company in caring for the fresh fish in cluing while waiting at Goldsboro to be transferred from one train to another. Il seems from the Goldsboro Headlights statement that they are actually left outside the cars until the drainage from (he boxes becomes a positive nuisance. The follow ing is tbe reference to the ni.iitcr in the last issue of that paper "We are having too much tiish brine left on our streets frcm transferring the shipments offish from the, A. & N. C train. It is a terrible odor, and il continued, much sickness will be the re sult. Our city authorities -hould look into this matter at once." It the boxes arc allowed to stand until the drainage from the melting ice becomes so offensive to citizens of the place as to requiie a call on the city olfic rs io sup the evil, it does look like the owners ol the fish have strong grounds for kicking. It should be know however that when the project of er ecting a suiuble build iug in Goldsboro to le used jointly by the railroads and express company, the latter stood ready to contribute its iuota quote towards the cost of en tion but the entire scheme was at the time broken np. There should however something be done in the matter. The fish business is an important industry and deserves cn courgeuient, protection and development. Steamship Burned at Sen The steamship City of Alcxam 1 1 ia from Havana for New York was binned at sea on the 1st inst. Thirty-four lives were lost. The survivors were taken to Havana The City of Alexandria was out of the fastest and largest of trie American ships in the West India trade. She was 2,4SO tons burthen and HOT feet long. She had 400 hogsheads of rum aboard and this when it caught biirne I in immense masses of flame. The fire originated from koiiic explosion aboard but what caused the explosion is not known.
