A bond issue is considered a necessity
by Mr. Cleveland. He has decided on it,
I heur, because of the pressing exigtncits
of the Treasury. For the past two
months the out go bas excieded the in
come of the Treasury at the rate ot fio
000,000 (ten million dollars) a montk u
does not take a business man to a this
won't do. For over two years I have
done my level best to show i he people
that economy right here in the I". S.

u aUjiut jeckleav expenditures. Start
witb the Senate, Then cut off ueetess
clerks in 'House and Senate, Dispense
with consrreesional wake. Aboiiali th

ment clerks who say thev won t work
cause their "Influence'' keeps them in a

are Hi 'ie men in the lot. Anathematise
Congressional junkets. Do all these
thinas, gentlemen of the incoming Con-
-tsji and then do as much more in the
same direction and you will take their
strongest weapon out of the hands of the
victorious Popocrats. Fil to do it. an.
you will be compelled to aaree to more
than one bond issue to supply funds lor
all sorts of extra vagiot expenditures. The
tax payers spoke Hov, jjth,. They will
speak again. They will not allow their
servanU to have so much more than they1
can honestly afford to eDjoy.
Xov., Mrs. Cleveland christened the St.
Louii", the largest vessel ever built in
America, at the ship yard of the Cramps
in Philadelphia. She was accompanied
by the Preilept, Jbe members of the
CabiDetand their families
Senator fUnaom may have ix defer the
trans-continental tour. He was here on
time, but the other members of the Com.
merce committee have not reported.
Suppose the money appropriated for this
junket be turned over to the depleted

Administration, euloiiises our Mary Ann
in th-j last issue of the Evening htar. this
citv. I would like to quote it, hut it is
too long It is interesting however, and
shows that Capt Husaey is going t be
one of the plowJiorses of the late rich

And now tbe State of Ohio is working
itself up into a bond issuing mood.
The Chinese army seems to be engaged
in one immense unorganized flight.
The Mugwump newspapers arc engaged
in writing nice little obituary notices for
David B. Hill.
Woman like, Brooklyn declaring she
woald never consent, finally decided to
cast ber lot with New York.
In a few days Gov. McKinley will get
over his present awkwardness and buckle
down to the work of ruining the State of
Ohio.
The Washington Post says North Caro
lina seems to be on the high road to town
ship currency. These be great days lor
Captain Buck KTitchin.
Benjamin Harrison may not be a can
didate for the Presidency, but he is not
going to allow the people to forget his
post-offioe address.
Mayor-elect Strong is the recipient of
a Presidential mention. This is not a
new thing for reform Mayors.
Tbe U. S Treasury is still losing its
gold. The reserve is decreasing daily.
There was a net loss of $50,000 in one
day, the 14th.
It is as yet impossible to tell the exact
number of Popnlists and Republicans in
the Legislature but as near as can be fig
ured out There wilt be 12 Democrats 19
Kpublieans and 22 Populists in the Ben
ate and in the House there will he 47
Democrats, Some 3'2 Republicans and 41
Populists.
Cincinnati has reversed her Republican
majority of 24T0O0 and given a Democratic
majority of over 3,000; but it was done
in tbe interest of a pure judiciary, and
shows that tbe people are not to be driven
to unclean government by the party
lash.
The next state legislature will probably
be memorialized to make a sufficient ap
propriation to defray the expenses of col
lecting the material and publishing a his
torical account of North Carolina's troops
io the late war. This is an excellent idea
and ought by all means to be done. It is
due from the state to bergallaut sons who
wore tbe gray.

In countless heaps together sleep;

When friends and kinsmen thus, assail.
When war, dread Moloch, hastes to kill,
And nnmark'd graves, with dead to fill.
Some mothers mourn a missing so'i,
Whose manhood, yet, has scarce begun;
Fot.d wives await a husband's clasp,
Who-e form lies in the trench's grasp.

To meet them all on His great clay.

the safety of the nation depended upon
the success of the I'nion army, they left,
their homes an 1 ail that men hold" dear I
on earth, and hurried to take their place J
in the ranks of the nationsdelenders. They 1
were willing to lace the perils of the!

the progress of time they surrendered
their lives in detence ol'thecaqse they had
so cheerfully espoused, They were self j
sacrificing, brave men, and the memory of.
such men, who die in defence of a prin
ciple they hold def.r and snpred will
never cease to lie cherished by the living
who arc actuated by the same noble pur
pose. These comrades, in the sacrifice of
lite in defence ot principle, have left an
example of patriotism for tuoceeding gen-
eratpjns, and it should he our duty,
wherever vve are, in whatever sphere of
life we may be placed, to endeavor to em
phasize that example, to endeavor to pro
mote sentiments of patriotism, particu
larly among the youth of our couotl'y, Q
that if Go.l so wil'a te elands ot war

be found an ever increasing spirit of
patriotism flint sh,alj cause a practically
universal uprising of our whole people, in
defence of the Nations honor,
I am reminded that among those pres
ent on this occasion there are some
who during the late war were adherents
of the confederate cause. My friends, we
are glad to meet you; permit me to say
that the hands that during the ye r- of
war grasped the weapons . f war, arc tn
day etQiideel to, you pi fellowship and
hearty fraternal greetings. We "believe
that in the eledicution ot this monument
to tfie memory ol our fallen comtytles,
we have your hearty gpod will, for, as old
soldiers, we know that brave wen, thougli
for a time they arc? separated by contrary
opiniolis, vylll always respect the memory
of men eipially brave. We are glad the
war is over unci nils oecome a tning 01
the past, a matter of history.
Though on opposing sides: during the
conflict, we recognize the fact, that you,
as well as we, were acting upon cqnvic
tions of duty; and when a matl does that,
who cau justly criticise him? Men differ in
business ma' ters, they diS'ev houestiy in
their opinions 011 political questions, they
differ very largely in religious matters,
but wdien a mun is ready to stand up in
defence of his principles when convinced
he is correct in his estiinate p. I duty, who
has a moral right to condemn him for
such action?
There doubtless comes a tune, when
men as they become older, an I mure ma
ture, are ltd to Change their opinions
and convictions; such I believe to be the
case to-day ; thirty years ngo there exist
ed great differences as o the policy of the
government, to that extent that the coun

we are. I believe, united in this one grat

us,
Comrades, for many years at our an
nual i-e-uniocs we have dicu-sed the
matter of erecting a monument at Xew
Bertie to the memory of the fallen ones;
this has been a question of lively interest
to u-. and while we have hoped this
could b.- a-complished our fears were,
that we should n ,1 live to sec it an estab
lished fapt. Hut the, good olel Common
wealth of Connecticut in her liberality,
has provided a way wheteby not only the
loth, but all other Conu. Rcgts. could
erect and dedicate a monument to tlie
memory of those comrades who sleep in
National Cemeteries. For this geaerous
act on the part of the State of Connec
ticut, we imist espyess our profound
gratituda and apprciation; the - pride we
have in our native State is greatly en
hanced by this generous act.
To the National Government, not only
die surviving comrades, but the friends
au l relatives of the dead, owe their grati
luce for the extraordinary care w hich
has been taken to collect from the numer
ous battlefields the remains of he dead
soldiers and inter them in these beautiful
National cemeteries, aud for the magnifi
cent care and attention which is given to
these cemeteries.
Our comrades lie within these enclos
ures, in peace aud quiet, where there can
l e nothing to disturb their remains; and
where they will remain undisturbed until
that morning, vvhi-n the angel's bugle
shall souud the ivsurictiin march.
Comrades our work is dot ft, the dtsire
of our hearts has I een consummated, this
monument of enduring granite now
marks the place where our comiades of
thirty years ago sleep that s'eep which
soon' r or later comes upon all uieo. You
audi are still spared, but as the years
goby one after another will fall by the
way Let us theD, while we have life, so
live that our example may be profitable
to those about us. Let us so live, that
when finally, we are mustered out of the
ranks of the living, it may be said of us,
as it has been said of our comrades whom
we leave behind us in this peaceful ceme

Mr. Editor: The veterans of the

the w-nter to express to the citizens ol
New Berne their high appreciation of ihe
couitesy and kindness extended to them
during their late visit to this city. It will
ever b lememb.-red as the spontaneous
expressjou of tlie largest liberality and
pur. st patriotism.
To the Confederate Veterans they de
sire to tender their wannest gratitude and
the assurance of their most fraternal re
gard. Had they been told before their
coming that such a reception awaited

that it is past, it is a revelation as beauti

The afternoon was b'-autiful ant b .th
Federal and Confederate veterans and a
large Dumber of private citizens visited the
cemetery and decorated the moiumia-it.
rrom the profusion of flowers, the Con
necticut Ye'erans made beautiful selec
tions an 1 inarched with them to Cedar
Grove Cemetery where with words of ap
preciation for the courtesies in this direc
tion that had been extended, Col, Upham
said, that oqt of such wbundanoe it Was but
meet that they should use at least a por
tion to decorate the last resting place of
warriors as brave as those they had come so
farjto honor, then at the word of com
mand, the veterans advanced and placed
tne beautiful offering around the mouu
menl.
Maj. Graham Daves responded ou le
half of the C nfederate Veterans, and Con
federate soldiers in general thanking in
beh,alf of the dead as well as the living.
The decorating was a giactful act and
the scene an affecting one more than one
on either side were moved almost to tears.
This was the finale of the ex'.-rcisis. All
then dispersed to their places of abode.
A gian I banquet with ad that hs qame
implies aud attended by over a hundred,
was held at the Chattawka at night. The
speeches of the occasion were not simply
a display of words they were of such a
character as made the occassion an intel
lectual as well as a bodily feast.
This closed the pleasant intercourse of
the day which w as greatly enjoyed by our
people, and we believe, by tho visitors
likewise. The majority of the visitors
leave for their homes today leaving only
pleasant memoues behind, and we hope
carrying none but delightlul recollections
with them.
OI R RESIDKXT YANKEES.
Response by Mr. J. S. Msnlx to the
Above Toast at tbe 15th Connecticut
Volunteers Banquet, Nov. 14th.
It is with feelings of more than ordinary
pleasure that I respond to this summons as
the time and circumstances are admirably
conjoined to speak about the people
among whom I have lived so long.
While not a Yankee in the sense em
ploye t at the North, yet I atn a good
enough one for this occasion, having been
bom just across Long Island Sound fiom
Connecticut, in the city ol New York.
While it is true, that the animadversions
upon the people ot the South as to their
treatment of the men from the North who
have come among tbem, have in a great
measure been disproved, and every fra
ternal and hospitable occasion, such a,s it
is our good fortune to partigipate in this
evening, but emphasies this disproval,
yet I feel that no opportunity should be
lost ou the part of the element I repre
sent and in whose name I speak to testify
to the kindness, courtesy and goodness of
heart 01 these people of the Sooth among
whom I have lived for thirty years.
Coming among them a boy and residing
continuously with them all these years J
am in a position to correctly speak of
these people, and I say now and here,
that so kintlly have I been treated, so
pleasant has been my associations, so al
together sanslactory is my home among
them, that it would be a very great in
ducement that would tempt me to change
my abode, or sever the relations now ex
isting. In this connection I desire to add
that these conditions have involved no
surrender of per.-onal or political qpin.iQus,
but is rather emphasised'hy the tact, ' that
ip this latter respect I have diffrred from
a large majority of ny white fellow citi
2en, and while thus differing 1 have
never found that it has affected their
good will, their courtesy "i- kiuuly iretit
ment. Nor is my case exceptional, I but
voice the experience of every northern
man I know, who did not put himself
beyond the pale of decent consideration
bv any people.
Say then for me to your people, that
those of the South are ready a,Qd do wel
come every good citizen to their borders,
that the accident of birth, or the possession
of certain religion or political opinions
does not affect the character of their wel
come, but good manners and honesty of
purpose, in intent to unite with them
for the upbuilding of their section, and a
mutual interest in the general welfare, is
all they ak; the-e conditions being ful
filled they are a passport to hospitable
homes and hearts.
As yet, this is not ihe section for ihe
erection of colossal fortune?, but textile
seek;er of lie 'dost competence, peacef ul
horn s, the re dest freedom "f politic d
and religiousgbelief we offer theiu.Uest in
ducement and a hearty welcome.

NIIOTIS AFFKAY AT KINBTOX.
nas. H. Brown, Attorney of That
Town Shot by eo. Waters Th
Wound Was Fatal.
In an argument before a jury in Lenoir
county Superior court Wednesday Nov.14,
Mr. Chas. U. Brown of Kinston naed lan
guage reflecting upon the veracity of Mr
Geo. Waters of La Grange township, who
nun given testimony in the cass.
When court adjourned Waters told
Bro wu that tlie remarks were hard upon
him. Brown called him a liar. Waters
retorted by calling Brown a liar, if be said
so. Brown then picked up a chair and
using it with both hands knocked Waters
down, Waters partially breaking the
f -rce ot tlie blow with uplifted hand. The
force of the blow broke one of tbe rounds
of the chair.
Before the blow was delivered Waters
called out to Brown that he would shoot
if Brown struck and after he was knocked
down le tired.
The bull went into Brown's throat
piercing the wind pipe. Mr. Brown died
the next day from tbe wound. Judge
Boykin immediately ordered Mr. Waters

Annie Foy, Miss May L. Hendreo, Mrs.
C B. Goodwin, and Miss Augusta Cra

Death or Sheriff Dillahunt or Jones.
Our.Trenton correspondent sends news
of the deal h of Mr. La Fayette Dillahunt,
sheriff of Jones county at 'his home, Fri
day morning Iftth, last, of hemorragic
iever, aged 38 years.
Mr. Dillahunt was one of the best citi
zens of Jones county. Tbe esteem in
which he was held can be judged from the
fact that he had just served two terms ns
sheriff and been re-elected to that office by
the largest majority given any candidate
in the county. This death will be greatly
regretted, Mr. Dillahunt was not a man of
family; he never had been married.

MARRIED.
Married, Wednesday Nov. 14th, at 8
p. m. at the residence of the bride. Mrs,
Delia R. Coward of this city to Mr,
Stephen Phillips of Baltimore, Rev. Rufus
Ford officiating.
We luesdayt Nov. 14th, at 9 p. m. Mr.
Jas B Duffy to Miss Looey Trenwith.
The ceremony was performed at the resi
dence of Mr. P. Trenwith, father oi' the
bridet Rev. Rufus Ford officiating.
Alter the ceremony a reception was
held at the residence of Capt. Hill,
brother-in-law of the groom which will
be th,ejr home. We extend congratula
tions. The North Carolina Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will hold
in Durham from Disc. 5th to 12th; the
Baptist state convention holds its annual
meeting U Charlotte from Dec. 6th, to
Uth. Tbe A. &. N. C. R. R. offers the
usual reduced round trip rates to each
meeting.
Senator Ransom says there is no truth
in the rumor of a contemplated extra ses
sion of the North Carolina Legislature to
elect a Democratic Senator, and no foun
dation for the story. According to -the
State constitution, if the Legislature were
called in special session, it would be the
fusion legislature just elected. It will
elect both Senators.
t'BAVCJV IM THE KIKCIIOX.
Had the Democrats of Jbc t'-ounty
Ione Their Fall Duty the Kesali
Least So Far a State Senators Are
Concerned Would Have Been IOer
nt. f
We publish this morning ihe official
vote of this district for State Senator. Ii
shows that Capt. Swift Galloway was de
Icated by only 186,,Dr. F. A Wbitaker
by only 90 votes.
An examination of the registration
hooks, we are informed, and a compari
son of them with the vote Of 1H02, shows
that fifty or more Democrat right in the
city failed to vole and about three hun
dred in the entire county. If these Demo- '
crats had voted, to Buy hothina' of ihoud
who acted similarly in the other ounties
we would to-day havo the af iff iction of
knowing that Capt. Ga:l wfty knd Dr.
Whitaketwoold be -our next Siatc Sena
tors. But those Democrats stayed at
home end Hie consequence is our candi
dal es will havo to do likewise, notwith
standing their gallant canvass. ,
Again rben' the ovnuvnsfitii floard of
the county met sufficlculS wrrguliu ities to -.
cause their rejection were fchyWut in two
precincts that were counted w!iic)i if they '
had been thrown out woOtd havV thunge l
the result. We refer to Uie.Fourth Ward
of the city and Temple's nrecinct the re
jection of the latfer nlone, as dmatf as the.
majority has proven to be would have
changed the result as it would have taken
14S votes ntf of ft he fusionist Vote. It wa ..

me Uemocrauc 9.
it was clearly shown that at Temple's
precinct the regintraiion book were oien
at Martoq8-store the cond at onlay pre
ceding the euction but the tlecfcB.11 was
held at Temples.
No tlie kWBays r!ai)lV-tbRt. at i!h
dato specified above rile regiratMi books --",'.;'
shall be open at the poJling place.' Jf.'i
Temple's was not the polling1 race the 'i'fj-
election was held at ihe "WrAir nlace 'S .:
which was suflicient to invaliuWt it and '':
cause-it to be thrown out. It Temnle' ,
was the polling place then the registration
books were not opened- at the polling ' v'i.
place as tbe law required, and the vote VV'
should havo been rejected. Take either x"
position you please, the vote 'should hve
been thrown out. 1 j , v
It was also brought to the ..notice of - !.
the board that in tho Fourth. W.l'd of this
city tbe polls were opene fso "late that , ' '
several men whom we coulli naitie, and , '
who presented themselves iu proper . -o
time lost their vote some ot them went a
out of city on the train at 8:30 tftn. Thi
was known prior to tbe deeisioato count . ; .
that ward,and alter it was decide a Re
publican memlicr of the board ..stated to it
t bat the books of that ward ulso were'
opened, not at tho polling place but
somewhere else the second Saturday be
fore the election. !
The facts shown nbove ii'tely gave
the right but made it tue duty of those
canvassing to reject the vole from those :
preciocts. In one of our city elections of
no distant date, ia a contest-between
Democrats the one who received the lar
gest number of votes and no. one we-'
nave heaitl speak of it believes' otherwise
than that they were cast for hiinvin good'
faith was deprived ol the . yflice to
which he was elected simply iiecause of
pencil marks 011 ome t tha ballots,'
which were decided to be a device ami
which led to the rejection of enough bal
lots to change the result Democrats up-';
held the decision, which thnuuh nut
according to the vote as cast wae.nccord-
mg to law, and yet Democrats can be-,
found that when a similar case arises be
tween Democrats and their-apolitical
opponents, seem to luvctr straining t he
law a point in favor of their political '
adversaries. .;,.
That the Republicans take whatever ad
vantage of the kind they care Js too well
known to saying there are suthclebt indi
cations that the Populists have the will t
do the same. Only yesterday ire saw iu
an exchange that ia cabarrus county that
tbe Populists township in Cabarra's coun
ty thrown out because they etafhied one
man voted there who lived jn.,$anntber
county. The Populists are very ready t .
take advantage of any techniality ' in the.
elections, but bitterly denedoot lemocrat
for tbe same thing. With tbem it, deoenda
entirely on whose bull 19 gored,'
We are not in favor of finy' unfair
advantage being taken,. but
we do believe in adhering to the law and
reaping whatever advantage iQay como
from so doing. Ui
