SOBTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY. "I am a Democrat." These words 'htch hive of late been the slogan of Divid Bnnett Hill, burued on patriotic lips and thrilled the heatt of patriots loug before the Senate from New Yrk 3arnc to play h 8 part ou the theater of American politics. Jfcfferson, the father of the Democrati c party, need tbem at the baptismal f nit, and Jackson wrote them in blazing capitals on every page of bis eventful life. Hill uses them to juggle with, perverting their meaning to serve the porpoes of a crafty politi cian. Whatever the word Democracy symbol zes in other sections, in North Carolina it preserves its orginal meaning, and is declara tive of a gorernment of tbe people, ielivtrance trom tjratiy, and eternal fidelity to Constitutional liberty. We are not to be thrown off the track bv side issues or controver sies over the claims of partisians to political prfeerment. Strong as may be oar individual prerances, it is our imperative duty to stand for pure, unadulterated Democ racy againnt all coiners. Lat every man who loves North CaroUua, every man who remembers the dark days of Republican rnle from which the genius of Democracy delivered us set up his banners and stand by tbe "ark of the couvenent." A heated campaign ie nefore us. and many a mn m iy forget his Democrat aud turn to the worship of false gods. 1' is a sad tact that some of the noMlest and ties' of our iiaoule have been led into another organization oy the force ot their devotion t the fundament 1 princil-'a ( Democ racy. Tuey say that th- old party has became cotrJ,jt aud tlat i he very principles of Democracy der mand new a-Iuiemeuts and uew organizations. It is the p ire of wm dom to deal gently with these men and convince them by ciim argu ment and the honest presentation of facts that tbe pri ioiplei of our party are. unchangable. Whatever is for the interests of tbe people is Democratic, and we trust that j every friend of the people will rally to Us banners.

The pedestals pre pared for North Carolina are still vacant, and we believe that the people of the State will agree with President Winston when he. says the statue of Sanator Vance should gratis one ol them for he was our greatest leader in the greatest period of history and his life an epitome of what is noblest in our history. He has been our greatest public man because he ha-s b?en our greatest North Carolinian and his statue should be there to show the world the sort of man North Carolina j loves and honors the genuine typical ortu roiinian.

A special to the Wilmington Messenger gives their names as follows. Th ma- Dona'dson, pre-i Ieut of the colored indii-trial association; Jas. If. Young and W. S.

The correspondent states that the news of Governor Jam-.' appointment flew fast and he received hundreds of congratula tions. His appointment gives great satis faction there, jt in aid here that he will 411 out Senator Vanc-e's time ijntil the Legislature meets and will then be a candidate for Senator Ransom's seat, thi"s letting some Western man be elected to till the remainder ot Senator Vance's term, two years. In an i uier vie v.- Senator Jarvis said he stood on the Cuieag platform, wkh all that means as con-trued at the South, His relations with the aim'mutration, so far as he can control I thorn, may be in ferred from the fact that he was Minister to Brazil und r Mr. Cleveland's former administration. Thomas J. Jarvis, was born in Curri tuck county, N C. , in January 1836 and is now 53 years of age. He married Decern b.r 23rd, 1874, Miss Msry Woodson, of Virginia. In the Confe le-ate army he was captain of Company IJ. ol t''e Fight North Caro lina regimen . ai I was a member of t()t constitutional convention of S0o from Currituck.

He was a member of the constitutional convention in 1875 and in the vear fol lowing was elected Lieutenant Governor ijf the State on the ticket with Senator Vance and Itecaum Governor In 1S75, when Vance resigned to become Senator. At the ne-xt election he was chosen Governoi and altogether occupied the guleruat.irial chair for more thin six years.

XORTH CAUOLIN'A'S PAST. Illustrious Th oughout, bat Xot Eui b'azoned As it Should be A Vol ume of the Right Kind. The Memorial volume of the Guilford Battle Ground company is before us. It b a grandly patriotic historical work, de serving ot a place in the library of every family in the Stat", but it contains one sentence which is misleading and on that account sadly detracts from its excel hnce. That sentence is contained i.i the otherwise exceedingly admirable speech o'' ex Gov. Thos. M. Uolt, delivered on the occasion of lhe unveiling of the Guil ford Battle Ground monument, July 4th 1893. That sentence reads thus: 'While I was in Portsmouth the other day walking along the streets of that city, I saiv A monument j; muting upward to the sky with this inscription: To, Our Confederate Dead-' Where is one in North Carolina ? The plain inference from lhe wording of the question is that there is no such monument, while the fact is there are a number ot such monuments in the State, though we will not attempt to say they are as numerons ss the heroism of our brave soldiers would warrant. At Char lotte, the nearest city tq the Guilford battle ground, where (for.

Passage of the Funeral Traiu People Assemble Along: the Houte Through the Night The Solemn Serviu es at Ashevdle An Im mense Concourse of People Attend the Buria'. AsHF.vnxK. X. C, April 18. At hour of noon to day the remains of late SenatorlZebulon S. Vance were the the de- posited in their late renting place, over looking the French Broad river, The funeral train arrived just after dawn from Raleigh with the committees of both House's of Congress, tho Governor and other officers of the State, with three cars of distinguished friends of the dead Sen ator. Notwithstanding the late hour when the train passed Hickory, Morganton and other stations, large crowds passed into the funeral car to view the remains. Tbe body was deposited in the First Presby terian churcli at 9 o'clock, anil f om that lime until 11:20 o'clock, thou-ands of peo pie from his native county of Buncombe passed to take a lust lo k. An immense crowd ot Confederates, followed by the different fif.terpal organisations, filed h.V- Mrs. Vatce spent half and hour in pri vate with her dead husband, and asked that she be ttie last one to see his tace. The procession was then formed, reach, lug almost from the church to the ceme tery, a distance of two miles. The crowd that marched out to lay him away is esti mated at 10,000. Friday will be observed here as a memo rial day for the whole State, and an im mense throng s expected. ' The crowds that thronged the stations along the way to Asheville delayed the train by their urgent demands to see, at least, the casket and they piled the funer al car with magnificent floral offerings. Each hamlet added beautiful flowers marked "From the Ladies to Our Zeb," and when Asheville was finajlj. reached, aDd tbe funeral car was opened for- the last time, it required the aid of a com pany of militia to remove the floral trib utes. The Asheville Ligh. Infantry escorted the remains from the train to the church and mounted guard over them, while the reverent crowds passed to have a last look at the beloved familiar face. Tbe scene was vei-y touching when the Gboftderate veterans took leave ot their old pomman-r der. After tneso camu several of the Ben. ator's old slavei. The procession to the cemetery was formed in the following order: Mounted police, Asheville Light Infan try, Bingham caoets, pall bearers in car riages. s;peth,l ecoU of lfough nod fyeady Guards surrounding the heals of the fiim ily of the deceased. Governor and staff, city and county officers. Masonic order, Survivor's association, Grand Army of the Republic, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias Royal Arcanum and Knights of Honor. These were followed by differ ent labor organisations and the entire Bpe depar'.ment. The procession, both civic and military numbered about 10,000, while thousands looked ou as spectators. The streets through which the proces sion passed were draped in mourning, aud from the front ol the cpunty 1 court house huug a large portrait of the dead Senator while stretching from the belfry on both bides to the ground were cords from which waved the marine signals which spelled, "We mourn For Zebuloo Vance." The ceremony at the grave was exceed ingly solemn and was conducted by Rev. Dr. Campbell of the First Presbyterian, church, after which the floral offerings' were gracefully placed and thus North Oarolina hurried a son, whose plaee may be partly filled in the couucil halls of the nation, but never in the hearts of her peo ple.

Dear Sir: Yqur letter is received and I note what you say a'xut the represen tations being made at New Berne, tbat delivery of truck at Jersey City will re sult in increased cost to shippers. In that connection I am giad to inform you that immediately following the visit of the delegation ot your truck growers to Jersey City and New York to inspect tho facilities ot-the respective termiual lines, a similar visit was made by the President, Vice President and Executive Committee of the Truck Farmers Asso ciation of Charleston, S. C, for the pur pose of iatisfying themselves about the delivery of truck by tbe Penn Rail R.ad at Jersey City. They were shown over the same terri tory covered by our friends when they were there, and also had an opportunity of conferring with some of the principal commission merchants. When returning home they said they were satisfied that their interests in New Yoik would be best protected by the Penn Rail Road and they should not only patroi.ize tbe all rail line but would use their influence to have every member of their association do the same. AU ol the party were unanimous in the opinion that Bay Street, Jersey City, is to be the great market for truck at New York. Many of the commission men have openly decliued that there will be no car tage charge from Jersey City and ship pers will have no difficulty in having their produce handled more advuntigc ously at Jersey City, than it ever has been at any of the New York piers. Very truly yours, 11, Cr. HppGi-NS, G. F. & P, A, The above letter explains itself our deliveries at Jersey City will be much earlier than heretolore.

A tidal wave of sorrow swept over North Carolina when the wiles from this city carried the announcement, the night of the 14th "Vance is dead." I l ave known him and loved him since early childhood. I cannot wr.te of him this morning. Let others voice some of the praises to which all of his own people will respond a hearty ' amen " Vice-President A llai Stevenson says; "He was one of the giandest men who ever lived. He wa- my warm personal friend." Speaker Crisp say-; 'T heard of the death of Mr. Vance with great regret. He was a true man an I Demociat. For many yeais he has been a prominent fig-! ure in the Senate and country and he always stood for the rights of the people. His death ia a loss to the country, to tbe party and to the people of his Slate. Such men are rare." Senator Ransom says: "Senator Vance possessed very remarkable i-ndowments. He represented subjects in large outlines by generalities, seldom in details This faculty of embodying and presenting popular sentiments into proverl):al harms, into striking- homely illustrations was wonderful. He had cultivated it as siduously. He was a master in that art. He had the geuius of popularity. His His simplicity was uniform aud ever con spicuous Ifis humor was almost in vincible. His sarcasm very keen and seldom left any sting. His disposition was so genial that it disarmed enmity. He was almost always brief, nevr tedious. His servioe as Governor during the war was the never failing fountain ot Ins popu larity. He was one of the people, thought, felt and acted with them. His character l'or uprightness never failed him." The Senate arid Houe adjourned at noon out of respect to his memory. Already the politicians are speculating as to Vance's successor in the Senate. Some, from apparent reasons want ex Governor Jarvis. If Jarvis is appointed be will serve only until the expiration of Senator Vance's term, for it is n matter qf piain justice that llje Vy'est shoqhl pro duce the man. The appointment of Jar. vis gives the East two Senators. As a North Carolinian I make this suggestion. Let the man, who is our dead Ceasar's known preference be his successor. S:mie ot his family could tell Governor Carr who this man is. Long years ago a great General won a battle alter he was d;ad. and lead .has arujy to victory. This will fie a siibsantiAl tribute to his memory. Let some of bis family suggest tho name of the nian Vance would have preferred as his successor and let that man fill out ids unexpired ferm. Words of condolence are chesp and often mean worse 4iian nothing. Funeral flowers and memorial arches fades. Pay his memory thi substantTal tribute and be assured that one frq n the West, the land of the sky. a son of his beloved mountain-land will wear his senatorial toga. His last words to me ring in my ears as I write this. I will not quote them here but mark my words; pnv tho memory of our greaf dead this tribute and if he could speak to us he would say: '"Well done." "I do not know or care who his preference would have been. Only let if be "Vance's choic-." AGAINST THE. i IYERSITY Leading Baptists Antagonize Higher Education by the State.

He intimates plainly that, the question will be carried into politics, and j that this must be done before the Legislature meets. He intimates ' hat the legislative committees might be "packed" in the interest ol the Univers'ty. lie attacks President Winston of the University by alluding to what he terms the "Winstonian blandishment, trickery and arrogance. He publishes the resolu tions of the Wake Forest trustees at their maeting last week, endorsing Iey. Dr. Charles E, Taylor's articles aud author izing their publications. Tbe vote on the resolutions an exchange states, was 9 to 6, and there was a very earnest and long debate. It mny as well be said now that the "issue is joined ' bev twen the Baptists and the Htate Univer sity, The gist of the arguments against tho University is that tbe State ought not give higher educations that all people are taxed for schooling and that consequently the schooling furnished ought to be such as all classes can take, not the higher education whicb only a few can attain to: Another argument is that with State tases to sustain and state prestige behind it there is danger of its driving denomi national colleges out of the field. Without attempting to argue on the question we have only to say that a school with such a grand record as the Universi ty of North Carolina possess ouht to be sustained to the lullest extent necessary and to the highest degree. There should nothing lie done to cripple jt in the slightest, As for the little money it receives from the State, suppose it were taken away aud the standard of the institution either lowered or worse still the University des troyed, what then ? Why simply this, we would have no University ftnd the money divided among all the peopl the State would be so insignificant an amount saved that '.he difference would never be lelt. We are for education public schools, University and all. If we are to do any thing in lh : matter let n5 build up. u 't leal dow n.

An Able and Worthy Succ sm.i to the Honored Vance Advices Mjnt from Asheville on Thurs day I i!ie day of Senator Vance's burial t there mi: "It is understood to-night that ex-Governor Jarvis will be formally ollered the appointment to-morrow, but In- accepting is doubtful, he beieg near Senator 1 ta'w, ,.n i. a i i: it . above u;m put tpe, a rani ha- been received an Since th -pecial teh ii iineiiig that ex loivernoi.Tarvis I, ecu ippointed and has accepted. We give the telegram announcing the ippointnient. Special to JorriNAi.. j Rm.eh.ii, N. C, April 10. Several delegate' called on tie- Governor today and urged appointment ol various gen tlemen to the Senatorship, but Gov. Carr tendered the office to Hon. T. J. Jarvis. Mr. Jarvis who is in the city innnediatolv acccptcd. R Ni-nn. Ex-Governor Jarvis is the man to w hom more eyes turned than to any other as the the right one to take up the work which Hon. L. li. Vance has just relinquished in death. The position is a very important one bn wherever placed, Governor Jarvis has been equal to the emergency. No man is more devot ed to the intersts of North Carolina than he, and n.; man let ter understands, on all . lines, what her intersts are. lie is not only a man of ability but ope Unit accomplishes something. The selec tion is a wise one. When Gov. Vance was alive it could trulev be said of him that he had done more for North Carolina than 'any other man then living. Now that he ha.- passed from earth to bis reward, wliat was thus said ftf him can, with truth, be said of Gov. Jarvis. The mantle of the former hits fallen upon the right shoulders. In making the appointment. Gov. Carr no doubt, hada very embarrassing task be fore him. especially as so nviny prominent and able men were being brought to the fiant by the special friends of each, for the place, and as moreover, from custom the appointment would regularly have come from the West; but, with all the light be fore him, and knowing of Gov. .Tarvis" ability, exjierience and working qualities. Gov. Carr exercises his discretion and made the appointment of the one whom he felt sa'islied would best serve the whole peo pie from the sky capped mountains of the West to the ocean washed shores of the East and what his appointee has done in the past is guarantee enough of what he will do in the future. A sensible, prac tical, well-informed working Senator such as Gov. Jarvis will make is worth a doaen simply brilliant men, such is some with which the Halls of Congress are en cumbered. Wad Dog Excitement. Wednesday morning a mad dog was discovered on South Front street near Craven. lie turned at the corner of Mid die street and went on as far as the ice factory where he was at last overtaken and shot by policeman Brinson. The dag was frothing at the mouth and his tongue was swollen and green. But his "mad career'' was by no means a quiet one. One of the first things that drew attention to him was his citing Mr. W. F. Rountree's dog and as he went he attacked every dog he met over half a dozen in all. Among the number, bo sides thejone already mentioned, were the dogs of Capt, Matt. Manly and Mr. J. J. Woifendeu and Elijah Matthews. Mr. Rountree promptly had nis dog killed and Capt. Manly sen! his dog to the police station to be killed. A wise precaution. No matter how much . the owner is attached to his dog none should be allowed to live ,that have in them tbe germs of a malady so dire in its conse quences as hydrophobia. The mad dog killed yesterday belonged to a colored woman in the suburbs nam ed Martha Capps. Hydrophobia seems to lm; an epidemic now. M id dogs are, reported trcm all quarters, The only safe way when one is found showing symptoms of the disorder is to shoot him on the spot. In view of the prevalence of this trouble nance oj' this kind here, the muzzles, which have d -Ti.il. is all that is beim fore action is taken. The arrival of already been nr waited for b-- Honors to Seuator Vance. Tbe tolling of the city, court house and other bells yesterday afternoon was quickly followed by the closing of busi ness places and the tilling of the court house w ith New Berne citizens.

Stevenson, though short, were all to the point. They were glowing nid heartfelt tributes, ( some of tlc-m from aclll il cxperiencei to the worth abilities and 'sterling character of the distin guished patriot, hero and statesman in war and in peace. Similar mei tings to do honor to our dead Senator, "Carolina's Favorite Sou" have been held in many places through- out the State. ; He v;t-worthy ol' them all. His bold pure, devoted and incorruptible life is one lurili such demonstrations, and one I that deserves not only to be lifted high in honor to nis memory, but to .serve as an I illustrous, example to his countrymen.
