SENATOR HILL.
On last Monday Senator Bill
made bis promised speech in the
Senate, in the presence of that
august bady, the Bepresentatives
of the People and an aadunce ooa
sisting largely of the best citizens of
Washington, and distinguished
visitors at the Federal capital.
8ocb an assemblage had not been
seen in the capitol frr years, and
Mr. Bill was the observed of all
observers.
It is not necessary to say that
David Beonett Hill spoke well.
Be always does that, but
as no man sees himself a
others gee him, it wonld
oot be amiss for a brother Sena
tor to hold np before htm his own
memorable words "I am a Demo
crat,"and softly whisper in bis
ear, ''To thy own self be true and
it will follow as the night the day
tbou caos't not then be false to any
ma-."
There is but one true aud faiih
fulrtatement of Hill's position,
and that Is found in the words Op
position to Cleveland.
Having cajsed it to be noised
abroad that be wcnld speak on the
tariff be began his ration with a
caustic review of the mrstukes of
Cleveland as showo in the appotut
ment of Judge Gresham secretary
of State and as exhibited In Haw
aiian KtTtirs.
The .JOURNAL has expressed sim
ilar views on thwe subjects, but
we have not. been able to see that
Jlr. Cleveland is alwaSH wrong
j "deceitful ab -ve all things and di-r-i
perately icked "
The Senator's changed views on

tba: be is a pirate witn a tug tor
every port. "Times have changed,"
says Mr. Mr, Hill. Wheu we had
a plethoric treasury, with a surplus
that was a menace to the intrgnty
, ,
of the Government, it would have
! been right to redrj.ee the tariff; but,
with an empty treasury, and the j
I deficet becoming more and more.

to a tremendous audience. He was lis

He severely criticised the President'
Hawaiian policy. He deprecated the
fact that Mr. Cleveland could not find a
Democrat able enough to be Secretary of
State. He vigorously opposed the in

'tariff" talk proper for a later occasion.

A LONG ISLAND WHiLE CHASE.
A Story Reprinted for the Benefit of the
Moreheaa City Fishermen.
This was a field day for old whalers in
Amgansett. Soon after sunrise two
whales were seen about a mile and a halt
west of the village. Soon the whole vil
lage was in commotion. Five boats were
launched. Capt. Joshua Edwards' boat
was the first to get close to one of the
monster. The harpooner launched the
weapon, w hich sank into the whale's neck.
The monster quivered, lashed the water
into foam and was off' with the speed ot a
locomotive.
Racing a mile seaward the whale
i w heeled and sped off again so suddenly
1 as to almost throw the njen oyerboard.
; When it was about three miles off shore
j Capt. Jesse Edwards, with his crew, drew
alongsidu. A second harpoon Was driven
into the whale, out iawect to reach a
vital spot. The bomb lance was dis
charged into the whale's right side and
Capt. George Smith fastened a third har
poon. Finally streams of crimson spouted
fioni its nostrils, dyeing the water. Half
an hour later the fight was over.
Tim second whale having been lost
sight of, the other crews returned to aid
their comrades They made fast to : lie
carcass, nid, alter an hour's hard work,
the monster was towed back to tho Til -

In telling of the com liHi.i'H th,-

of the killing the quu rel .in I ii-ht h--tween
Rogers and Flovd. tv. vonog in .
of the town, and told how 1, !.,:ri ,n. the
constable, wh.i tin-, I tin- tiist shot mi the
occasion, was the fiend and backer of

courage him, and how Rogers got whip

Rogers began cursing Floyd and u-,ing
j opprobrious epithets towards McLcnduii,
to which the latter replied in f,.r,-il,le
language.
The chief of police utresttl Rogers and
Floyd, and for ft moment had q,i:-t re
stored. Then Norment and one or two
other citizens pointed to McLendon un I
said he was responsible for the whole
matter Norment did this with an oath
against McLendon. The latter replied
that he would not take that, and immedi
ately drew his revolver and fired at N6r
meut. At once some six or eight citizens
and the constables drew their weapons
and began firing at each other, several of
the constables using Winchester rifles.
Having rehearsed the above facts as
established by the investigation, the re
port goes on to say:
"We firmly lielicve that it McLendon
had not interfered the chief of police
would have had no trouble in presirving
order and averting a tragedy.
"We deem it unnecessary to state all of i
the testimony, as a copy of the same w i
be transmitted to your hcadquarteis an
to the commander-in-chief.
"We conclude trom the evidence that
Frank E. Norment came to his death at
Darlington, S. C, on the 30tli of March,
1894, from the effects of a gunshot wound
inflicted by one J. D. McLendon, and

MILLION DOLLAR LO-iS.
Fire Destroys the Grape Sugar Works
In Buffalo Seven Men are
in the Ruins.
Buffalo has had a great fire, the money
loss by which is over a million dollars.
The American Glucose works, the largest
of the kind in tne countrv, were destroy I
ed. Several firemen were injured and
taicen to Hospitals it is rumored that
some of the employees were caught in
thf building and burned to death.
Late advices from the fire state twelve
men are believed to be in the ruins alt
the other employees are accounted lor.
Several were greatly injured by jumping
from the wind w of the eighth floor; one
at least will die.
The works had a daily consumption ot
50,000 bushels of corn.
The annual products of the works, in
cluding grape sugar glucose, syrups and
animal products, reached 150,000. 0o0
pounds. Employment was furnished 1
700 men, who are paid annuallv in sala
hes ol $200,000.
Mad Dogs in Lenoir County.
Correspondents of the Kinston Free
Press give four mad dog items.
The children of Mr. John Sutton of
Buckle8l-ury were playing in his yard
when a mad dog entered, ami but for the
timely interference of Mc Sutton's own
dog some of them would have been bit
ten. The mad dog escaped but was kill
ed afterwards, and much to his sorrow,
Mr. Sutton had to kill the dog which had
defended and save the lives of his chil
dren, he having been bitten in the en
counter. Mr. Jed Thomas, who was bit'en neai
Granger's, had a mad-ston applied at
Mr. Robert Ivey's near Seven Spr'ngs,
but at last accounts he was growing
worse.
On the 5th inst. there was an exciting
chase after a mad dog near Grangei's. A
party ol men pursued him five miles and
shot at him several times, and yet lie
finally disappeared in a thicket. The
next morning he was again discovered
and then killed.
The statement is also given that the
sou of Mr. W. J. Korneiay, of Jones
county, who a short time ago was bitten
by a mad dog, has been to Durham and
had a mad-stone applied to the bite. His
friends are hopeful of his lecovery.
We have not found any theory ad
vanced as to the cause, but. there s-av.-.s
to be more dogs going mad over the
countrv before than ever bdore.

tion. 'I h,- point that is sought lo bei-ial,
li-hed is what is the cause ol the disen-e
known as Texas lever. This is atatal
inal idy from which southern raised cows

-oiiii, a-e very subject, and we arc inloim
, d tii it ifa southern cow is carried inrtl,
hi I put with a herd of cattle. th, -,n-led
!,- ,i take the fever, although th,
, i . -. -, i'Iiu'I' remains the whole time per-'
fectly healthy. It has also been found;
thi. if ticks are taken north and placed!
on cattle that they take the fev, r and,
th.-tv is a theory that the ti, ks :l,e the
cause of the disease when they g. i upon
t ittle not accustomed to them.
But the investigations are meinl tube
ol practical wse, "not simply to satisfy ( in i- '
osity by a scientific investigation, and it
lias been found that cattle can be inocu
lated, in a manner similar to vaccinating
a man to prevent smallpox', and a mild
form of the fever f dlows. Ten of the
cattle turned over to Mr. Williams have
been thus treated, and thn-e are just as
lln-y were ranging at the north.
Now if the cattle take the disease and
all should be alike affected, it wili prove
the futility of the inoculation, but it the
an-inoeulated cattle should take it and
the others escape, it would reasonably cs
tablish the fact that a way has been
found by which any northern cattle de
sired may be brought south without fear
ol trouble.
The development of the experiment
will be watched with interest.
Mutual Landlord's Protective Associa
tion Twenty-one of the landlords of the city
have formed themselves into an associa
tion for mutual protection under the
name which appears at the head ot thi
article.
Those who join bind themselves not to
rent any house or room to any party or
parties unless they first show a receipt es
tablishing that they arc square in their ac
counts with the landlord from whose
property they are moving, or prove that
they do not then live if at anyone be
longing to the association.
Any member violating the rule laid
down is held liable to the party from
whose house the renter moved a com
mittee of three of the members, Mr. W.
F. Rmintrye being the chairman, decides
wln.t the amount of damage shall be. A
committee will be chosen every six
months.
A two-lold object is expected to be ac
complished by the organization one 's
to make reasonably certain that anyone
moving will pay, and tho other is that if
anyone is disposed to move frequently in
order to beat the landlord out of his rents,
to break up the practice and thus cause
all tenants to stay longer at one place.
Ii' s tenant finds that he wiTMiave to pay
his old rent b-fore he gets into a new
house, it is expected that he will very
likely remain where he is and continue to
pay the same landlord.
We Are One of the Towns, Too.
An exchange publishes a statement ol
the population of "the principal tow ns of
North Carolina," as given in the health
reports, and though the list reaches down
to thuse having only 2,500 inhabitants,
New Berne is entirely omitted. We think
those compiling such lists ought to be
caretul not to have omissions.
New Berne, according to the city
ceusu3 taken last year had 8,500 inhabi
tants and at the same rate of increase
that census showed since the National
census was taken we would now surely
have 9.000.
And not only are we steadily increas
ing but we have no cause to complain
financially. There are few towns to be
found anywhere that stood the troubles
in business circles of the past year as well
as New Berne.
The diversity ol our industries is large
ly the cause ol this there is something
to bring money in, the year round, and if
one thing docs not strike right something
else does and preserves the balance very
well.
New Berne may be overlooked, but she
is on a solid basis and is going ahead
every day.
The .Millinery Opening.
Mrs. Bettie Whaley, Mrs. 15. B. Lane,
Mrs S. II. Lane and Miss Harriette Lane

The displays at their millinery stores
were exceptionally fine. The windows

, artificial beauty and Ibp latest styles of
1 feminine head-dress.
1 The ladies visited the stores in great
iiumbus and kept busy in inspecting,
admiring, trying on and purchasing hats
the results will ba seen next Sunday.
But, though, numbers of tii e hats
f aind new owners, the stocks were large
enough ro keep them trom hardly bjing
missed and the stores will be again
t hronged today with the lair purchasers
who intend to be among the first to
shine in the splendor of the new spring
lyles.

Unloaded Firearms
The Goldsboro Headlight tells of a
case where the ' unloaded" pistol hat
again done its work. At Fremont three
ladies were watching their little nephew '
playing with an old pistol which nobody 1
supposed was loaded. At various times
he pulled the trigger in the faces of those
around and at last one of the ladies la "
imitation of the child took the pistol and
pointed it nt In r sister-in-law when all
at once it went off shooting her in the
breast and making a painful but fortun
ately not dangerous wound.
It is a matter of surprise that any one
can be so thoughtless as to play in such
