. that there is too much of it. There

fUE VETO.
The President has vetoed the
Bland silver coinage bill.
We hoped it would be otherwise,
bat we confess it was an uoieason-
able hope, ;
There was v bo thing ia the life
and character ot Mr. Cleveland to
justify it, but we could not repress
the hope founded on desire, that
the discussion of the silver ques
tion and its bearing upon business
Interests, and the evident effect of
a veto on the party, would inflaence
the JPresident to wave his per
sonal preferences aad predelie-
tions In the Interests of party har
mony and the welfare of the mass
es.
It is true that Mr. Cleveland had
nothing to gain personally by an
approval of the bill. The silver men
have antagonizad his administra
tion from the beginning, and if he
had approved the bill he would
have lost the support of those who
have stood Dy him all along, and
conseQuentlv would have been a
President without a party.
Wishing to sustain the President
when it is possible to do so, it is
matter of eolf-eongratulati n that
the president bases his veto on the
highest ground when he declares
that the bill is neither wise nor op
portune. With the President's convictions
of the bill it was his doty to veto
t. TniWri fft v"M not dot do oth-
e i wise.
It is common to judge the world
by our ow n surroundings and Mr.
Cleveland having for years, lived
in a community of gold bugs, be.
leives that he reflects the senti
ments of the Democrats of the
whole country.
That he is in error we honestly
believe, bat that he has acted from
a firm conviction of duty we do not
doubt,' He is a brave man, always
daring to do what he believes to be
right.
If the bill is as defective as Mr
Cleveland represents it to be, he,
did right to veto it, but it is re
markably strange that the defects
he points out failed to atttaot the
attention of Congress. So statute
especially no bill relating to
fiscal affairs-ought to be ambig
uons.
, It is a sad commentary on Con
gress that a bill, that has created
so much anxiety and has con earned
so much time, is found to be worth
lessincapable of accomplishing
the purposes for which it was in ten
dedV ....
LET IT BEST.
Far be it from . us to abandon
silver to the tender mercies of its
enemies.
Silver is the best friend of the
common people, and we are of
them and for them against all
comers.
But prudence is commendable
on all occasions. In our judgement
it is not advisable to attempt to
pass the Bland bill over the Presi
dentin veto, and to pass another
bill of kindred nature would be a
waste of valuable time and would
probably wi!en the breach that un
fortunately exists in the Democrat
ic party.
Time is always precious, and it
should no longer be squandered in
idle disputations. The Democratic
party came into power with divi
ded sentiment as to the currency,
but it was supposed to be a unit on
the tariff. "Tariff Reform' was the
shibboleth of -the great campaign
of 1892, and it was believed that
the party would move gallantly
forward under the leadership of
Grover Cleveland, sweep away the
McKinley law and leave not a vea
tage of Protection on the statute
book.
The popular expectation has been
disappointed and the old Demo
cratic party Is drifting.
As yet it has found no sure an
chorage, and, with adverse winds,
is near the breakers.
. The tariff bill must pass before
we enter upon another cam
paign. it will not Jo to go before the
people with party pledges unre
deemed. -
Aside from the peril to party,
it is the duty of the Democratic
party to lift the burden of nnjust
taxation from the necks of the peo
ple. If there was to beno election
thTduty would be TnTperittve.
Appropriate silver legislation is
now impossible, but the speedy
passage ef the Wilson bill would
give a large measure of relief to the
people,
The veto of the President still
farther endangers Democratic suc
cess in North Carolina, What is to
be doneT Can we afford to fold our
arms fn sleep, because of the fail
ure of a daring measure!
buch a oaure would be inconsis
tent w.th honor and patriotism.
The gravity of the situation de
mands herculean efforts to perpet
uate Democratic rule in this good
old State. .Admitting that the par
ty has not come np to the full meas
ure of our hopes, it is infinitely
better than the Republican party
that. is to contest with it for the
ascendency. We cannot afford for
North Carolina to lapse into Re
publican barbarism. .Let there be
a truce between Democrats and all
differences in the party be buried.
We cannot ' eliminate silver from
our monetary system, nor can we
for the time being restore it to its
lost estate:
Then let it rest for a time.it will
be refreshed by its sleep, and when
awakes it will burst its o hains as
Sampson burst the witches that
bound him.

red by reason ot this military dis
play. Fire Bugs at Work.
Maxton, N. O,, March 30. Last
night at a-out 10:30 o'clock the
fire al trm was sounded and upon a
hurried investigation by the citi
zens who quickly filled the btreets
it was f ound that, the guard house,
which is now jast. nearing comple
tion, was ablaze, but by the concer
ted effoits of the by-standers the
dastardly purpose of the villain
who applied the torch was not con
summated .
Hardly h.id this Qie been gotten
under way when it was learned that
the Maxton and Alma rai(road de
pot. was in a blaze, aud in a few
minutes the whole bailding was a
mass of ruins.
John Lncien lost about 200 bush
els)f corn besides some coffins,
caskets, etc., stored in the buil
ding. It is thought here 'hat the same
perso i or persons who set fire to
the guardhouse also set fire to the
depot so as to distract attention
from the former that it might be
destroj ed while "the crowd" was
gathered around the latter.
A dilligent investigation will
be made and if the guilty scoun
drel is caught he wilt doubtless
learn a lesson at the hands of out
raged justice.

Remarkable Boat Speed.
The breath of brag in which some
of our boat builders have indulged
concerning certain American ves
sels is out short by the performan
ces of soma of the new torpedo
boats recently construsted for the
British navy. The latest vessel of
this class, the Hornet, on a recent
trial trip, attained the remarkable
speed of 28.33 knotP, or over 32J
milea per hour.
This vessle is ISO ieet long and
18 feet wide, has eight boilers,
and four funnels. Displacement,
220 tone; greatest draught, 7 feet 0
inches; estimated horse power,
6,248. The trial took place on Feb
ruary 23, on the Maphu mile. Six
iuus were made, the mean speed
being 28.02, and the best pair ot
runs being 2833 knots. The ban
ker capacity is GO tons, and on this
supply, at 10 knots, the boats
w. nld have a radios of action, of
4,000 nines. Uer armament con
sists of one 12 pounder, two C
pounders, and three torpedo tubes,
18 inches. The Hornet is a sister
boat to the Havock which was
illustrated and described in the
Scientific American of January 13
last.
The Havock made a speed oi
27.56 knots. Some forty of these
boats are being built in England.
Remarkable as is the speed of the
Hornet, a boat which ie expected
to go still faster is now being con -structedin
France.
The following are particulars of
the sea goiDg torpedo boat Forban,
which is now being built at Havre
by MM. Augostin Normand & Co.,
and which is designed to attain
the extraordinary speed of 30
knots or 34 statute miles an hour.
Length, 144 feet 3 inches; beam, 15
feet 3 Inches; draught, 10 feet; dis
placement, 130 tons; indicated
horse poer, 3,200. The vessel will
have twin screws, and will carry
two torpedo ejectors and two 1.46
inch guns. The Forban will be by
far the fastest craft afloat. The
Chevalier, a torpedo hoat of the
same lengtii, but ol only 2,700 in
dicated horse power, was recently
delivered by M1. Normand, and
has attained a speed of 27.22
knots.
The boilers which give these
striking results are a specialty of
the firm of yormand, and are, it is

he meekly declined, saying, that he
never would wear a crown of gold

Vt'hen your blood i." '"utof
order, you can't ail : d to
wait. A slight c-'..' i, in
tULS screiiilous conu.liou,
is enough to threatej you
with Consumption. At
ithe first symiitom of any
weakness in the. lunps, or
with any cough that you
can't seem to get rid of,
you should take Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. For Consump
tion itself, except in the
most advanced stages.
and for all the conditions that lead to it,
this is a positive and proved remedy.
Consumption is Lung-Scrofula. You must
depend upon tho blood for a cure. The " Dis
covery" reaches it, through the blood, as
nrahins elso can. Not only this, but erery
form of Scrofula. In Consumption, Weak
Lungs. Severe Lingering Coughs, Asthma,
and ail Bronchial, ' Throat and Lung Affec
