Cleveland on the I ariff BiP. Tbe ten days -having expired since the passage of the Tariff bill without Presi dent Cleveland having either approved or vetoed it; it becomes a law without his signature as lie intended it should. The President has written a letter to Representative Cntehing's. of Mississippi, giving his views m. the new tariff bill and bis reasons for withholding his signature to it. He says it is roi in line with true tariff reform, that the work of trusts ar.d combinations prevented the success de served, and that there are besides crudities and inconsistences in the bill which ought not to bj in tariff laws of any kind, and as be cannot promptly and en thusiastically endorse the measure, he withholds his signature, as a mark ol his disapproval of the ptesent bill and with holds bis veto because w ith all its faults it is a vast improvement over existing conditions. He says it is not only a barrier against the return of mad protec tion but it affords a vantage ground from which must lie waged further aggressive operations against monopoly and gover meutal favoritism. The letter is a calm patriotic States man like presentatiou of tbe situation and should do much towards dispelling the idea that some have that Cleveland is a man of unreasonable stubb irness. While believing that better ought to have been done he yields to circumstances for the present . but seeks for bettor ere long. And now that the good work of re form and of honest i conomical gover-nn-nt lias been started again in National affairs may no untoward event again hinder it . Wi miiigt u's Bar Depth.

In the eleve'lopne nt of hi- theme he took his -uibence with him, in thought, on a tour of in-pection around the world, to observe ir. a? a hundred years ago, in respect of its religious condition, anel directed their attention to the more prom inent features with -ui h clearness of delineation and directness of expression as intcn-ifieel interest an .1 give a sem blance of reality. At that time d:irk:;.-ss covered the earth anel gross darkness the people, the peculiar phases of which were pe'mted out with a d 'tinitelie-s anel p n tieulority which we cannot now ri'produee in this brief article. The ports of many nations were closed against tin- entrance of En glish speaking people. Christianity was denied a hearing, cannibalism prevailed to an amazing extent in the islands of the sea. and the whole world see, mid to be lying in wickidness. Another similar tour was taken to ob serve the changes and progress of a hun dred years, anil show in the light of the living present what God hath wrought. Now the ports of the world ate open to intercommunication, the interior ol the 'dark continent" has been explored, and Ethiopia is stretching out her hand un to Goel: the gospel has ft-i-. course among the millions of India; China, w hose dense population comprises wcli toward one thirt1 of the human family, is ieldiugto Christianity anil encouraging the hope that in the coming time Coni'ucianisii w ill perish from the eattii, and its great founder be known only a- a name upon the page of history: Thibe'. the last out post on the frontier .,) e-xclusiveoess, has yielded, anel the cn,.-s is beginning to triumph over the crescent, so that there is now no place on the rounel earth which is not open to the reception and influence ol the gospel; and cannibalism has be come almost if not wholly unknown. The saving power of the present, en Christian dispensation doubtless the last dispensation has beyond rpiestiou been thi far, many i'oltl greater than of all which have preceeleel it, and the last hundred years have been most fruitful of results.

The Reserves a Fine Orgauiza' ion Worthy of Bath Ma." And Local Support The annual cruise ol the Noith Carolina Naval Reserves, ol ten day-, wide h end,, I la.-t Tuesday (21-t inst) has been one ol profit and phasure to t he n embers i , the Reserves, excelling iu nearly every way the cruise of last . a'" The weather ha- been i -pel i illy line during the entire lime, the lion ves have .had a fine new man-of-war to piactiie upon, and their own oflle ers have g,M a I tlinn in-tructions and drills, which may at times have seemed too severe, yet now , they are over will only be n-inembered '. as incidents of ihe cruise, and the lessons ! ice eived will make future cruises all the ! easier. I The discipline maintained oil board the ' Naiitueket, and the tine, systematic rout ine work dally carried out. cannot be too ! highly commended, and great credit is I due to the commander anel eiftiee'rs of the -vvi'i'al divisions lor their excellent coop erative work in all di'paitments. Too much praise cannot be given the 'Hirers of the Reserves for the amount of practice and service tiii-y have given t leir men thi.-year with the limited funds at their eli.-posd. The want of sufficient funds b is com pelled the Reserves t leave without ihe outside sea service, the monitor not being supplied with coal for an outside voyage, and the members themselv s not le.ding able to pay tor the e-o il necessary le.i -uch a trip. It has been with many regrets on the part of officers anel men that this part of the cruise had to be given up, and the gun practice limited to the harbor. Although deprived of a sea voyage anel practice, the Reserves have faithiu'ly car ried out as far as funds permitted every thing they could, and they return greatly benefitted from their exjierienees and drills during the ten days givni them. The spirit and interest the Naval Re serves have exhibited in all their work this year, ought to warrant the n liberal treatment on the p ut of the State of North Carolina, and next year ample funds should be provideel in time lor a cruise, and the Reserves be given an opportunity of seeing actual sea service in addition to the drills and routine duties of a man ol-war at anchor in a har bor. The Sdile has a fine ljody of Reserves, anel they deserve to be encourageel in every w ay aud their number increased; this can be done I'V granting them such privileges and donations as will best prouio:e t In-i 1 dchelopnient, insteael of leaving it to a few to carry the organization along by private contributions. The people f South port have grea'l v enjoyed the visit of the Reserves with their friends of the Montgomery, if they have fallen short in hospitality it was only an err6r of the hear, not heart, and next vear thev trust to make nil things more than equal. The Leader has greatly enjoyed meet ing the Reserves, and appreciates the courtesies extended its editors oy both officers and crew. Southport Leader. To the Democratic People of North Caro ina. Having never been a candidate liefbre you, I now announce myself with hesita tion. 1 e)ffe-r lr.yselt lor the seat in the United States Senate made vacant by the death of Senator Vance. In doing this, I do not antagonize either ol the present Senators, but aspire to an office that neither of them seeks. The two great epiestions involved in the Chicago platform were Tariff Reform and Financial Reform. The tariff bill just passed does not fully meet expecta tions, and I favor such modifications of it as will deprive every trust and combine of any advantage it allows. On thejtariff, and on most subjects, stanel with our Democratic President, and give him a cordial and zealous sup port. I regret not to be able te agree with him in his financial policy. Finan cial reform is of the most pressing impor tance, and I favor immediate action in respect to that matter. To many the result of the first regular session of our Democratic Congress has been something of a disappointment. Dis appointments come to all parties. The Republican party is at present disap pointed at the repeal of the McKinley tariff law; at the enactment of an income tax at the repeal of the law placing our elections untler supervision of Federal Marshals; at the continueel supremacy of the Democrats in the Southern States and their full accession to power at Washing ton, aud at the complete failure of Repub lican plans and purposes. Our disappointments are but temp i ary in their nature. They shoulel make u3 only the more determined to press 011 ward until the principles ol the Demo cratic party are fully carried into opera tion to the lasting benefit and advantage of the people, and to the glory of our country. In this clause I havealreaely spent many years of my life, and I slia.il esteem it a privilege to continue my work iu the new flelel and high station to which I aspire. I therefore solicit your favor aud support, trusting that you may es teem me worthy to represent you in the Senate Chamber, anil I beg my friends, wherever they may be, who favor my election, to be active in urging it.
