A sentence appeared in these

has been construed as a covert at
tack upon a Senator.
That is not oar method. We wear
no concealed weapons. We indulge
in no unmanly inuendoea. When
the time comes we shall use lan
guage that cannot be misunderstood
and that will go directly to the
mark.
We had much rather praise that
censare, bat we shall do neither
unless in oar judgement it is richly
deserved.
The Journal cannot be mde

can it be made the bow from which

If personal issue- iise, or have
arisen, they will be adjudicated by

A NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.
It is often the case that one
learns something that snprises
him.
Oa the tooth ot May the Memo-
riol address at N?w Berne was de
livered bv William B. Lane, the
present sheriff of Craven county.
Be was a gallant sol tier, aod has
eer bees a good citizen and a true
gentleman. CpUin L ine does not
profess to be an orator, bat be po
sesses the highest elements of ora
tory, strong convictions and the
courage of his convictions.
Bat oar surprise was occasioned
by the facts that he broagbt oat
in regard to Norfh Carolina. We do
ot profess to have read all the
histories of North Carolina that
have been publish, bat with an in
tense love of the old North State,
we have searched for gems that
glitter all atang her way from the
landing of It Aieigh to tha present
dy, bat the brightest ot them
elated oar e.'oh ami wre un
known to a until brought, out on
Memorial day.
We want a reliable history of
North Carolina. One that onr chil
dren will read and be inspired by
its troths. Oue that our old men
can read and.be soliced as the sun
of life is setting behind oar western
hills.
Here in this good state is to be
found abandaut material for de
lighrfal romance.
If in this brood land there is a
Washington Irving he could not se
lect a better field for the display of
his genius. Bat while romance
charms, it is authentic history that
wc need, and mast have it North
Carolina is to her proper place and
live in imperthable archives.

TROUBLED WATERS.
When a little while ago we wrote
opon the tariff and predicted its
passage, we had reference to the
Wilson bill as modified by the
Senate. We are now informed that
ic is proposed tocha age the meas
ure incorporating new provisions
and substituting ad valorem for
specific duties.
We do not pretend t ompre
hend the situation, u only know
that it is claimed that the trrn liog
of the waters is for t!i- h.iliug of
the nation,
Complaints are constantly heard
ou account of the delay in passing
a tariff bill. Certainly there are
evils attending delay, but it is
much oftener that injury results
frouj hasty legislation than from
ture deliberation and the carelal
consideration of public meas
ures. Pardon a digression. We have
been told tbat inquiry is sometimes
made as to where the Journal
standi1, inasmacb as ''it sometimes
praises and sometimes censures the
Admiu'stration." The Journal
has always been independent,
Everybody in its office Is a Demo
crat, but it wears no collar and
calls uo man master.
We wonld not publish a single
line if it was not our privilege to
advooate what we beleive to be
right and condemn what we know
to be wrong. Oa great principles
we are wltb the Administration,
but we have net approved ot all
lhe measures it has recommended
nor of all the acta it haa done. As
Democrats we have a common law
and a statutory law. The common
I aw is immemorial cuBtom; the
statute law is the national plat
form, the Cbfoago platform now
being in force.
No Democratic official has a
right to violate either the written
or the unwritten law of bis party,
and when he does it, be he Presi
dent, Governor or Congressman,
we will protest in the interests of
the masses and in vendioation of
our ou manhood.

SOt DISCOURSED
Elections that have taken place
throng hoot the country during the
last twelve months have generally
resulted id favor of Republican
candidates, the only notable excep
tion being the recent congressional
election in Ohio.
Taere are those who consider the
general reenlt a protest against
Democracy. Suoh is not oar under
standing of the situation. It is not
hostility to Democracy, but the
failure to enact laws and make re
forms based upon Democratic prin
ciples that has played havoc with
the hopes of Democrats.
The principles of the party are
more firmly fixed in the hearts of
the people than ever, as is abun
dantly shown in the Ohio election.
The Democratic candidate stood
fiat-fioted on the Chicago platform
and demanded the fulfillment of
every pledge made to the people.
He spoke for bimetalism and a tar
iff for revenue only, and was trium
phantly elected.
What Is the contention in North
Carolina? Do Republican and Pop
ulist writers and speakers attack
the principles of the Democratic
part j t
3ot at all. Populists appland
them and inscribe them on their
banners; and then charge Demo
crats with being faithless to their
promises.
The time is coming, and is now
at hand, when the Democrats or
North Carolina must speak out in
condemnation of her servants who
are content to sit in the shadow of
greatness that thrift may follow
fawnipg.
We would not condemn any man
without a hearing, but Be flesh az
zer's feast is goingon and the hand
writing is on the wall.
Nothing is clearer to onr mind
than the absolute necessity of hew
ing to the line, let the chips fall
where they may.
The people are not deceived.
They will fight for pure Democracy,
but they don't propose to parade in
honor of any man who smiles and
bow-; breaks bis promises and
smiles again.
Lilt high the Democratic banner
and it will not be tarnished with
treason nor soiled by defeat.

but it didn't. The said lorrower just
went across the street and immediately
warmed in with another subscriber and
though continuing to abuse it, actually
wanted to borrow the paper before the
real subscriber had finished with it. These

THE SILENT HOSTS.
FRANK I. STANTON".
No more the storm of battle glooms
Above the waving fields;
No more the cannon's thunder booms;
But earth with blossoms shields.
The soldier breasts that braved the fight;
Beneath the laureled sod
Tbey s!um'r in the living light
Ol glory and of God.
The faded flags no longer stream
Above those breasts so still;
The red swords of the lightning gleam
Are sheathed by vale and hill.
And Peace unfurls her banners white,
In tranquil winds to wave;
While Memory's tears in drops of light
Are rained above the brave.
After the fight the beio sleep
In God's unbroken rest,
And still the South in honor keeps
Her loved ones on her breast.
For sacred is the blood they shed.
And through the flight of years
The South shall bless her glorious dead
With her memorial tears.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL.
Interesting Occasion Good Music
Fine Address- -Tiie Floral
Decorations.
Thursday morning's train, with several
extra cars attached, brought up a pretty
good number from Beaufort and More-
head end points below N,iw Berne to
take part in the Confederate Memorial
exercises.
When the exercises commenced the
court house was well filled with the vis
itors and our own citizens.
The speiker's stand was decorated with
magnolias, lilies and other flowers, of
white varieties exclusively all perlect
specimens of their kind.
Ou the stand with the orator were
Rev. J. T. Lyon, the chaplain. Mr. J. F.
Clark, the chief marshall. The choir was
to the right of lhe stand, the Naval
Reserves to the left. The music for the
occasion was hocompanied by an organ
and two cornets, which, with a good
number of selected voices, was very beau
tiful and inippressive.
The opening prayer, by Mr. Lyon, fol
lowed the first song.
It was in accord with the eternal fitness
of things that Capt. W. B. Lane was
chosen as tUe memorial orator, yesterday.
The gallant commandant of ..Company
II., First North Carolina Calvary, thrice
wounded in a hand to baud fight on
Gettysburg's gory ground more used
to fighting during the war than speaking
since, knew where of he spoke, and ac
quitted himself most creditably.
Below m e give such extracts as space
permits. He commeticed with:
Ladies of the Memorial Association, Com-
Tiules, Indies and Gentlemen :
'When I accepted your invitation to
speak of the record of our brave soldier i
made heroes by your patriotic encourage
ment and loving smiles, I kuew tbat my
untutored tongue could not do justice to
the subject ; but relying upon the patience
and sympathy of this cultured audience,
1 consented, believing however humble
the effort to help forward these services so
meritorious, instituted by our own loving
women, it would have the proper con
struction placed upon it.
In 1861 the two sections of this country
divided by Mason aud Dixon's lina were
asundered. There wa no sympathy and
nothing in common between the two sec
ions. The pent up feeling of iealousv
and hatred of extremists which had been
kept smothered by the conservative
patriotic men of both sections had broken
loose in thunder tones ; war was inevitable.
and our beloved state was to be one of the
actors in the great drama. But before
speaking of the part she took, would this
audience pardon me as I briefly sketch a
portion ot her hi.stoiy. the narration ot
which will g ve us some light on 'What we
might expect from her in this lamentable
crisis.
North Carolina. (God bless her. our
hearts swell out with gladness whenever
we name her), was settled by the courtly
cavaliers and christian Huegenotg. Thev
weje the most modest, conservative
libertv loving people the world ever
knew. This immediate section had to
tight from her very door-steps with the
ned handed Coree and Tuscaroru Indians
and the ruins of an old fort, twenty miles
above here on the Neuse, remains vet to
tell the storv.
Too modest to write a history, but
making more than any of the old thirteen,
Massachusetts and Virginia not excepted.
W hen a boy the hrst history 1 read was
Peter Parley's. I see upon its cover-lids
the plumed Indian warror with a fillet of
feathers around his brow, with his bow.
spear and tomahawk,
From reading history, I should never
have known that the tirst declaration of
independence emanated from North Caro
hna, and the East victory ol tne revolu
tionary war was won on her soil, nor that
almost the last battle, Guilford Court
House Xor that the first
white child ever born on the continent
was born here, and a girl baby at th'U.
While without written history, tradition
kept the old story of glory brightly burn
ing on every home altar."
The orator here gave a graphic descrip
tion of the indignity and cruelty inflicted
on James Davis, the ancester of those
here today by the B itish naval officers in
the revolutionary war.
North Carolina had declared the cause
of Massachusetts was the cause of
all. what might not be expect
ed from men with such ancestery?"
Then followed a mention of the Craven
county troops from CI to Go whom he
compared to the Spartan, encouraged by
like mothers. He then graphically por
trayed th3 gallanfry of the North Caro
lina troops on Gettysburg's fatal field.
"Such heroic suffering as the Confederate
soldiers suffered, has but one parallel in
history Napolean's retreat from Moscow.
But they were not all who sufl'ered.
Where were our heroic women y Denying
themselves every luxury and comfort for
the soldiers' sake ministering angels in
hospitals wiping the death dew from the
brow of the dying soldiers.
'I am glad of this opportunity to thank
you for this Memoriad Day, for the com
memorative monument that marble sol
dier standing an eternal sentinel over our
sleeping dead in Cedar Grove ceme
tery. "Now. ladies, teach your children, and
let them teach theirs, to gather together
once a year, sing requiems and scatter the
sweetest flowers of May over the graves
of their martyred heroes, and let the lips
of thoe who can speak well, hallow the
spot where your brave repose."'
The above extracts will show to al
who were not fortunate enough to hear
thespeech, its magnificent character. It
was replete with historic interest and
patriotic sentiment.
The exercises at the court house being
over, the procession was formed and the
march to the cemetery made, Arriving
there "The Guard Around the Tomb"
was sung, the floral decorations placed
around the Confederate monument and
a salute of three volleys tired hy the naval
reserves.
The two ni"st beautiful
designs were
two crossed swords, one ot brigiit red
and the other of pure white flowers across
the face of the monument, ami the Confed
erate shield lvini.' at its foot immediately
below tbe sworls. The red bars of the

yesterday alternoon were the very first
they ever fired, but they were almost
exactly in unison the second, especially,
went off exactly as one gun. Confederates
present informed us that they have known
old soldiers whose salutes did not equal

He will remain iu the city a (lew days

Married A Disappointed Congregation
On Wednesday evening the 9th inst.,
Mr. Geo. R. Simmons, of Dover, was
united in marriage to Miss Agnes W. De
Bruhl, at the reeidence of Mrs. Simn De
Bruhl, the bride's mother, at DeBruhl's,
Jones county, Rev. A. L. Ormand of
Craven circuit officiated.
The marriage was intended to have
taken place in the church at Tuscarora,
alxiut four miles distant, and preparation
had been made accordingly. The church
had been well decorated for the occasion
by friends of the contracting parties, and
as the hour for the ceremony drew near
it was filling up with people from the
surrounding country to witness it.
But the assemblage was doomed to dis
appointment. The minister, when the
time was almost at hand discovered that
the marriage license had been purchased
in Jones county, while the church was
located in Craven county, and according
to law the marriage must be performed
iu the same county in which the license
is issued. So informing the congregation
of how matters stood. Mr. Orniand
started in the direction of the bride's
home and met the party on the way to
the church.
They immediately went baek and were
married at the residence in the presence
ot the family and a few friends of the
immediate neighborhood and the crowd
at the church departed for their homes.
Three More Fountains in Position.
Three more drinking fountains were
put in yesterday one on Broad street
wbere'the old scales formerly stood just
below Middle street; one on Graves
street at the junction of Middle, aud one
by J. II. Hackburn's store at the junction
of Broad and (jueen streets.
One more remains to be put in, the
one on the macadamized road, the one at
first proposed to be placed by the Fair
ground but which is more likely to be
put a little lower down, probably by the
western gate of the cemetery.
The fountain near the junction of
Broad and Middle streets is the one first
intended for '.he junction of Queen and
Pollock. (McCarthy's store). The pres
ent arrangement was deemed better than
the first as it puts one fountain in 'each of
the five wards of the city.
The one ou Broad street and the one at
the junction of Middle and Graves, are
in the center of the street. We think
the placing of them thus was a mistake.
Though useful, and handy for the horses
to drink from, the hydrants in such a po
sition arc obstructions, and drive-ways
should lie free from obstructions. We
ixdieve if n accident should occur from
their leing placed where they are the
city would be liable for damages.
The Insurance They Carried.
The sufferers by the receat fire at More
head were insured through New Berue
agencies as follows:
The ice house building owned by the
Morehead City Ice Company, was insured
in the Virginia Fire and Marine Isurance
Company, represented by Mr. M.K. How
ard for $1,003.
Mr. Dauiel Bell's store had $1,500 in
surance, 1,000 of it was in the yEtna,
1250 in the Teutonic, both represented by
Mr. W. H. Oliver. The remaining $250
wis with the London , Liverpool and
Globe Company, by W. G. Brinson.
Mr, Bell's stock was insured as followr:
$1,000 in the Va., F. & M, by M. R
Howard; $750 in the L. L. & G. by W.
G. Brinson; $750 in the Teutonic, $1,000
in the JEtna and $1,000 in the Manches
ter the three last being represented by
W. H. Oliver.
The stoek in Mr. Bell's warehouse was
insured in the Va. State by M.R. Howard
for $500.
This makes the total insurance $8,000
$1,000 on the ice house, $1,500 on the
store building, $5,500 on Mr.Bell's stock.
About $800 or $00 worth of the stock
was saved.
Companies represented by Mr. Oliver
will also meet with small losses by reason
of damage to goods of other parties who
moved out while the fire was in progress.
More Shad in It.

just baen increased.to the extent of 450,

Simmons Confirmed.
A telegram to Tin-: Joi'TiNAI, from
Washington at ' o'clock last night is a
follows : v
"Simmons was Confirmed."
Brief as it is it tells a very satisfactory
piece of news. We are glad to know tht
matter is decided. Never did a man work
more faithfully or more energetically in a
campaign than did Mr. Simmons in the
last one. When the cainpai o oened
clouds of threatened defeat bung heavy
over the State by reason of defection to
Tliird party ranks, but election dsy
allowed the counsels of the enemy were
brought to naught, and the result was in
no small degree attributable to the watch
ful skill and generalship with which ho
as chairman of the State Democratic Ex
ecutive committee managed the campaign.
The office which has been Iwstowed upon
him is small enough recognition of his
faithful and successful serv ces.
Our 3aval Reserves.
The New Berne Naval Reserves is get
ting to be a fine organisation and deserves
special mention. .
The Naval Mili'.ia movement now ex
tends through every sea board State,
from Massachusetts to Texas. There
are also organizations on the lakes and
all of them receive liberal snpjort from
the States in whicli they are located.
, ,Our boys are now ifM-ogniz.ed by the
State authorities and sianrfon the same
basis in that respect as the other compa
nies of the State Guard; but so fur as the
County of Craven and City of New Berne
are concerned, no support whatever is
given. Wilmington and New Hanover
Co. we are informed, contribute some
$1,500 per annum and an armory to their
military organizations. All other Coun
ties and cities where companies are lo
cated assist, financially, in supporting
their organizations, but our company,
the only one within sixty miles, receives
nothing.
The good conduct and efficiency of the
boys is all the more commendable under
sue u circumstances.
LIFE IS SWEET.
cA i.i;n in n n.
This world would be u dreary world
If there were none to love us.
And dull would lw the passing hours.
And perlumelesa tlK; sweet flowers.
Bnd dim the- stars above n.
I often think, when'cr I sit
Amid the twilight shadows,
WaUdiing the dying sun's decent
Adown the rosate firmament.
Vli ii-li seems to clasp the meadows.
How cheerless ami bow drear would be
The day's that hover o'er u,
If Love's .bright eye should shine no
more
If we should tread along life's shore
With uo bright hopes before us.
Ah, brntherj mortal life is sweet
While friends arc true and near us
While loving lips to ours are ressed,
Bestowing kisses heaven hath bl sscd,
To make us smile- to cheer us.
I And there are hearts worth living for,
! True ns the heaven above us.
i They till our souls with peace and mirth,
Thev brighten darkest days oftai'lb
And only live to love u.
Then env not, stoic, that tins l.fe
Is naught but pain and sadness
While round our pat li I .loom lo e's sweet
flowers,
While friendship paints the passing hours
With her bright smile of gladness.
