The demStiitization of silver has
always impressed us as tbe greatest
of financial follies. Ton' a metal
that in all countries and among all
people from time immemorial bad
been the current representative of
value should be divorced from its
companionship wiih gold aa in
deed marvelous, but, that this de
monitizatien should originate in
one of the largest Silver producing
countries of the world was passing
strange.
It is pleasing to know that there
has been a revival of stiver. Tbe
iojuuotion placed upou its coinage
has been dissolved by the people
of the Uoited States, speaking
through their representatives, and
concurrently tbe public sentiment
of Europe is declarative, not only
of the valne of stiver, but of thejab-
solnte necessity for its restoration
to its time honored place in the
monetary systems of the civilized
world.
The pannage of 'be Blair Silver
coinage bill by bo large a majority
in the house of Representatives
cannot be regarded as an ordinary
incident of Congressional legisla
tion. The measure was not born
under the mild influence- of propit
ious stars. It was believed that, if
the bill passed the Hqnge, the Sfn
ate woul4 be against it, and that
if it passed both Houses of Con
gress it would afterwards encoun
ter the stern and unyielding op
position of the President. The
Hocse did not hesitate to pass tbe
bill, for the voice of the people was t
ringing in their ears like the voice
of God.
The Washington Post, of March
13, says: "Speculation is jast now
rife as to what disposition the
President wilt make of the Bland
seignorage bill in the event, which
has come to be regerded as a cer
tainty, of its passage by the Sen
ate. Will he approve it, will veto
it, or will he permit it to become a
law without his signature! Io re
gard to this matter the New York
Tribune quotes Mr. Borrows, of
Michigan to the following ef
feet.
''Ha had heard lrom a source
which he believed to be entirely
trustworthy that the President had
said to one or more prominent
Democratic leader th" d-i wi
strongly inclinid to approva. or at
least non to veto, th-5 Bland bill.
This inclination hasbea produced,
according to Mr, Burrus inlor
mnnt, by strong lepresentations
made to him by S at hern and
Westejn D irnxsra's to the eff iC
that unless (diver legi-da'iou of
tome sort should be had oefore the
end of this sasio 1 )f (J nrMs the
party would lnevicbly safj'jr a ter
rible and general disaster iu Nov.
ember."
For onr prfc, we d no-, doubt
that Mr. Cleveland will sign tbe
bill, He is convinced of the popular,
ity of silver and he is too good a
Democrat to disregard the voice of
the pe vpl.

When there the prospect of
easy victory candidates are as
thick as blackberries in June. Per.
haps it is too early for a formal
announcement of candidacy, but if
tbe merits of any Democra' are
being presented to an admiring
public the fai;C ha-i escaped nr
b.uivation.
That there will be the usaal ar
ny of patriots ready to serve the
; uutry for a moderate compensa
tion, and at an immense sacrifice
of their personal interests, is to be
expected; but we incline to the
opinion that the opposition candi
dates will be more numerous and
earlier in the field than the regular
8trengtl)oot-diedin-tbe wool, no
compromise-Administration Dem
ocrat. Thei" is an idea abroad
that the Democrat who runs for
office this year wi!l have a prodi
gious load to carry, and that it
will not be difBVak to topple him
over. However, we know of a few
brave men who are bracing up
their nerves for the terrible en
counter.
We do not kuow how Mr. Grady
feels. He may be a the war-horse
impatient lor the battle. We are
not informed as to hs purposes.
It seems to us that ha ha , made a
good representative, bearing him
self gallantly in the House and
honoring his state by a gentle
manly department on all occa
sions. We are not prepared to say
that he has made more friends
thau enemies by the distribution of
federal patronage in his district,
but we know that his promises
have been numerous, and that he
has mule ciasiderable effort
to have ttn raso ls turned
out.
If Mr. Simmons was not Collec
tor th ugh none too securely
seated in the saddle his friends
would certainly bring him forward
fir Congress. As it is, Mr. Sim
mons will not be io the race, but,
nevertheless, Mr. Grady will not
have a walk over. Mr. Koonce bas

B'itbiej tfll ns tht the prin
ciple fight this year will bo for the
Legislature. Democrats desiring
state recognition will not be "for
ward in standing back," for every
body knows that there is nothing
to defend in the Democratic ad
minisrration of thn state, and iu
most couaties a Democratic nomi
nation will be equivoleut to an
election. The Senatorial question
may embarrass the canvass of
some gentlemen bat, of this her

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Long years have passed since through our
sunny land
The sounds of war were heard on every
hand;
'Twas here in other days the earth was
stained with heroes' blood
The South called forth her' noble sons;
in gallant bands they stood.
Loud were the sounds of bugle blast and
deep the cannon's roar
And on their country's altar their pre
cious blood they pour.
Dauntless and brave they met the foe;
for country fought, for country
fell.
In annals of the fair South's fame well
may their names in honor dwell.
But now, no more their voice is heard;
their labor's o'er, their deeds are
done
'Their latest battle his been fought,' with
some, the eternal victory's won
They leave their country and a price
less gift the record of their fame,
Of lives surrendered to thei- country's
need the honor of her name.
flushed is the bugle's note; no more the
cannon peal is heard;
The battle field is vacant still, save for
the mocking bird
That carnls lorth his plaintive melody,
both sad and sweet
While ever and anon his mournful tale
the woodland hills repeat.
'Tis past; but all, the vacant homes !
Whose pen can tell in worthy
strjin
The sorrows of tlmse hearts that had in
earthly loss no greater gain
Long since the foe is to the brother turn
ed; the reign of peace
Is here; a nobler aim can bid the tumult
cease
ttjttt trm, griorr-
Teace," the herald cried,
The message sent from Him who by
Man's wrath or peace can still be
glorified,
To us is left the part to honor thsoe who
fought in duty's right;
To cherish every deed that tells of heroes,
faithful hearts. The might
Of nations is increased by rexillectio n of
her ancient deeds,
This with attendant zeal their sons to
death or victory leads
In granite monument, in bronze and gold
their glories told
Be for a watchword to our vouth as ages
roll.
Yes, let the Old North State her honor
keep
And give a noble tribute to her sons that
sleep.
Give to a cause that bears beloved Dixie's
name !
Let not in silence die her praise, unsung,
unsung her fame 1
But still, in loving hearts 'till, life shall
pass away
Enshrine the memory of the gallant men
that wore the t;ray !

tense anxiety prevailed. The Governor
declared he would order the leilitia to
fire upon the city hall regardless of the
crowds of spectators, and the police
board within as solidly maintained their
position to resist attack.
Soon after 6 o'clock this evening Chief
ol i'olice btone received a telephone mes
sage from Gen. McCook stating that he
had ordered troops lrom Fort Logan to
protect the chief and aid him in preserv
ing order.
DEFIANCE TO THE GOVERNOR.
At 10 o'clock two wasron loads of
breech-loading shotguns and ammunition
were unloaded at police headquarters in
the City Hall. The department was now
equipped with a sbotgua and two 45
catibpr Colt revolvers for each man, in
addition to the regulation club. A quan
tity of dynamite cartridges was also
stored in the police vaults in readiness
for an emergency.
"We will hold the City Hall against all
attacks from the outside, if it takes dyna
mite to do it," was the expression of
Chief of Police Stone. "We have 110
men on duty and they will be here as
long as they are needed. If the Gover
nor wants 'blood to the bridles' we will
give it to him, but he cannot have the
City Hall-"
The militia started from the armory
promptly at 2 o'clock. Adjutant Gen.
Tarsney was in command, assisted by
Brigadier Gen. Brooks.
At 3:15 p. m. Brigadier Gen. Brooks,
accompanied by four aids-de-camp, rode
up to the City Hall and stated the the
Governor's orders must be obeyed.
Gov. W aite remained iu his private room
at the Douglass all day, and adinittej no
ne but his closest friends untd a com
mittee of citizens from the Chamber of
Commerce called upon him late in the
da v.
The result was a failure to get him to
consent to anything. "I shall order the
military to hre, ' he reiterated. 'The
people may assassinate me if they will,
but I propose to have my way.''
Cook assertell'Ms bsilR)n',auu" 'prepared"
to preserve the peace.
ABBIVAL OF FEDERAL TROOPS.
The troops, 600 strong, arrived at the
Union depot at 8:15 o'clock by a special
train from Fort Logan. The n.ilitia was
sent back to the armory, and at 9 o'clock
Gen. McCook ordered the troops to bi
vouac at the depot until morning. He
has held a conference with Gov. Waite,
at which Adjt Geu. Tarsney and Brig.
Gen. Brooks, of the Colorada National
Guard, were present.
The monster crowds are slowly dis
persing: and the police have gone out on
their regular beats. No mob violence is
now anticipated.
No effort to cause the arrest of Gov.
Waite was made tonight, and hostilities
have ceased.
TROUBLE TOMORROW ALMOST CERTAIN.
Late tonight Gov. Waite issued an
order calling out every company of mili
tia in the State. They are to come to
tyenver immediately ready tq act.
The Colorada National Guard consists
of two regiments, one with headquarters
here and the other in Pueblo. . The en
lire force can muster probably 1,200 men.
The Governor says the companies here
are not sufficient to cope with the crowds
and police force. They cannot reach
Denver before Saturday.
The sheriff will attempt to cause the
arrest of Governor, Adjt. Gen. Tarsney,
and Brig. Gen. Brooks early tomorrow
morning.
The United States troops will remain
in the city until peace is assured, and tne
nrominent men will continue to urge
peaceable means of settlement.
As Gov. Waite'seems insensible to ar
guments looking to arbitration, peace can
come about onlv by the withdrawal of
the city hall people or by sotne action ot
the courts that will restrain tne governor,
Tbe situation now looks serious for to
morrow. HISTORY OF THE TROUBLE.
To understand the situation it must be
known that some vears ago the citizens
of Denver asked the Legislature to give
them a new charter that would take the
police, fire and public works department
out of tne hands ot the munioioarity land
put it in tho hands ol boards officered by
appointments made by the Governor. It
was believed that this would resort in
removing the matter from the corrup
tion of politics.
Gov. Waite had shown a desire to
make these departments subserve bis
political ambitions and has tried to make
all ot them political boards filled with
Populist followers,
The deposed members applied to the
district court and obtained a temporary
injunction to restrain the Govtrnor, the
Mayor and Uie new members from taking
noasestsion of the office of the police and
(jre ljtrd by force.
This was objected to, but after argu
ments had been heard Judge Gr.ihain de
clined to remove the injunction. Then
after several days' deliberation the Gov
ernor decided to ignore the injunction,
and so issued last night his order to the.
inili(.if.
Cleveland's Shooting at a Discount.
President Cleveland and his party have
been considerably lauded for their success
in bagging duoks and geese in the North
Carolina sounds.
It seems that the natives of the coast

that admiration that has bet-n generally
accorded him. We copy from the Use

to Cleveland's shooting:

shot either. There has been killed at
one shot in this county 43.
Mr. Cleveland has come and gone anil

"OLD BLANFORD CHURCH.
Beautiful Poetic Lines Copied From a
Pane of G'ass in This Ancient
House of Worships.
The following lines, written on a pane
of glass in "Old Bltindl'o'd Church," at
Petersburg, Va., wen-copied into the
Prayer-Book of Mrs. .J unes G. (Miry E.)
Stanly, formerly of New-Bern, by Mis
Kate Beck with, many years ago. They
have been attributed to many persons,.
among others, the actor. Their author
is not known, but their beautiful expres
sion of the true spirit ol devotion and
poetic sentiment are well worthy of a
writer of great fnne.
Old soldiers will well remember Bland
ford Church. It was on the C mlederate
lines around Petersburg in the late war,
and its old church-yam, where great
numbers of soldiers are buried, was the
scene of many a stirring incident. Burials
there were often attended with much dan
ger, and in some instances funerals had to
turn back, notably that of a clergyman
so heavy was the firing thereabouts.
The Church is not very far lrom the
famous "Crater," and is about r lie same
distance from the Federal '-Foit Sted
man," in another direction.
Mrs. Stanly was Aliss Mary Wilkins of
New-Bern. Miss Beck with is now .Mrs.
Spauld'.ng of New York.
Bristol Parish, in which Bland ford is
situated, was organized 'in 1642, but a
church in this immediate neighborhood
was not built until 1720, and Blaudl'ord
Church, in its present situalion, not until
17iJd. It was often called the "Brick
Church." Thomas Jefferson was the con
tractor for the first. church, while Thomas
Ravenscroft contracted to boild the
church substantially as it now si amis.
These as the names of others; and doubt
less relatives of those mentioned; are too
well known to require comment. Around
the old church cluster reminiscences of
early Colonial days, ot the Revolution
and of the Confederacy, and among its
Vestrymen are included many names dis
tinguished alike in North Carolina and
Virginia. Graham Daves.
Lord,! Thy Church shall, next to These, j
Best btloved ol all things be.
Thither at each hour of prayer,
Shall my hastening steps repair;

For the opening of Thy gate,
Lest a word I fail to share
Of the Holy service there.
At what time the welcjme bell
Shall of prayer and praises tell,
Let its notes be heard at morning,
Or at eve ring out its warning,
Sweeetly tolling, shall its sound
Bid me to the holy ground.
Vain excuses, idle pleas,
Well may suit cold worhly ease;
Hearts that warm and thankful are
Will for God no trouble spare.
Help me Lord, lest I stray
From Thy Church and Thee away.

Though the wintry wind may blow,

thinks there ' has not beet a real cirrus

coming is that the taxes in this

UXCOVDI I O VAL SURRENDER.
Brazdian Government Forces Bomhaid
the Insurgents for aa Hoar
They Give Up Withont
FIrlnjr a Shot.
The Rebel Offlceis Take Retake on the
Foieign Wgr Ships.
The Brazilian Government did not at
last accept Ve Gama's term' as was tele
graphed over the country, and trave
notice that they would open fire at nooa
Tuesday, March 13th, and at noon of that
day the Government forces began active
op. rations against the insurgents, the
forty eight hours notice given by Presi
dent Peixot'.o having-erpired.
The hill top batteries opened fire at 8
o'clock p. m. No reply was made by the
insurgents.
I he Government vessels entered the
the harbor at 5 o'clock but did not fire.
They found forts Villegagnon and Cobras
abandoned ly the insurgents. The fleet
wa- greeted with cheers from thousands
of people on the hill tops and with sa
lutes from all the Government forts. The
insurgents' ships meanwhile hid them
selves among the merchant vessels laying
in thr. bay.
Admiral Da Gama is reported to have
fled aboard a French warship.
The firing of the batteries lasted for an
hour. The insurgents did not fire a shot
husbanding their ammunition. fj At 4
o'clock, the Government fleet appeared
off t lie harbor, the torpedo boat Aurora
leadin '.
Immediately upon the appearance of
the squadron the rebels hauled down the
white ensign from one of the ships,
which was lying near Enchadas, and
hoisted a signal which was answered
lrom ashore. A launch containing an
officer then went from one insurgent ship
to another and each vessel lowered tbe
white flag.
Two torpedo boats from the Govern
ment fleet outside then entered the bay.
One of th"m went to Fort Villegagnon
and it was shortly followed by the launch
lrom the rebel's ship. A few minutes
later the white ensign pe down from
ihe fort and at 5:45 o'clock the Govern
ment fleet came up the bay, being a
welcome sight to the anxious people on
shore.
The war is practically over and the
cause of the insurgents is a lot one.
There is much rejoicing in Rio Janerio
at the culmination of the struggle which
has continued so many months.
The rebel forces have surrendered un
conditionally, almost without firing a
shot.
The officers of the insurgents' fleet
have taken refuge on board French and
Portuguese war ships. One French ves
sel has put to sea with many of the rebel
officers on board.

Dressed Hogs.
Capt. J. R. Lupton, of the schooner
Carrie Reel, brought in a good number of
pretty dressed hogs Wednesday from Pam
lico, of his own, and of Mr. R. M. Hardon
and Mr. S. V. Whitehurst's raising be
sides other produce.
Capt. Lupton tells us that he has not
failed to have some fresh pork in his
cargo on each trip to the city this winter,
and cotton, corn, rice, potatoes, eggs, &c.
The surplus of these crops among the
farmers seems to have been more abun
dant this year than ever before.
Public Btiiuling and Post-master.
Our news from Washington is highly
gratifying. Capt. Matt Manly only
awaits the arrival of his commission to
take charge of the post-office through the
Democratic administration.
Aud, the date of the erection of the
public, budding for which we have s
anxiously looked for is settled at last
three and a half months will see the work
in progress.
The site for building is admirable; the
lot is a splendid one conveniently located
for the business interests of the city, and
the building itself will be a convenience
which every one will appieciate. Our
post-efiice accomodations have lor years
been biadequate,and all will rejoice to
iet into a building that will meet the
requirements of our growing business
and population.
Partridges Specially Protected by Law
Now that the game season is over and
the breeding season of birds drawing
nigh it is well enough fop it to become
more generally known than it is that to
inlerlere with the nests of partridges is a

pass l by the last legislature intended to
secure the protection of these favorite
niiils in this particular:
Exporting Quail and Destroying Eggs
Unlawful. It ia a misdemeanor to export
front the State any quail or partridges,
whether dead or alive, also to take or
dest rov their ecrfrs and the same shall be
punished by a fine hot exceeding $50 and
