The storm that swept tbo Sontb Atlantic ooaajt last week, and which alio carried deatrnction to interior townaaod cities, moat happily did not riait New Berne and this section. ' While for a time it seemed that thia city waa to be visited with dis aster, last Tuesday night, it is a matter of congratulation that noth ing se Hons came of tbe storm, and New Berne can go ahead with no loaaea to property or life, to canse Borrow. and mourning among our people. - While death and deatrnction hare been tha portion of other cites, it is a matter to be thankful for that New Berne la today uninjured, and ber people can porsne tbeir regular oc cupation. wbt Til h lrrnrn Wfprn It im not atranre that Senator Butler's personal organ in this State continnallytaanta the Democratic pari j .turia vtroiiua, as oeing ' - untmstwortbj and insincere in its professions, it woold be stranger if t a: a t i j i i l.. . . pected hat Senator Butler wou'd . . . . . oareanytumg out contempt iur a g j - - - --r-'o -r . . 1 V! I T y cu npju mm personal souse, ana in 1' the Tery next sought close political . "alliance with him. Where are the Democratic news papers which had nothing but reril- ings for Senator Butler and bia fol " lowers, in 1894, that they submit wuuoai a protest to sncn words as .' these, published tinder the direc tion of DemocracVs sreateat politi- ' " cal enemy. Senator Butler. i "It wjui a sin a heinous crime to bfWl day ftfi urf'aacrfT' Dehi ocfalic' partt then, (l892). Sciirri- lous abuse and showers of rotten eggs waa the putlishment for our crime. We declared we were not leaving the principles of Democracy then, but that the Democratic party was leaving ns. Now when thnt party declares that it has repented has purged itself of its iniquities and has come back to whero it left us, these Democratic papers and 'lead ers" refuse to come all the way with it; or they say if they do come back they must be permitted to push us from the ground we have held ever since they have been one aud take possession of everything as they had it before. We will not consent to these terms of reconciliation, for we are of the opinion that if this element of the Democratic party should once more come into full possession, they would become saucy gain and net leave us ground enough to stand on." So tbe Democratic prty "has come back," that is that pact which declares for fusion on an honorable dirisioD, as if there could be an honorable dirision or sincere work ing together of two parties that are oqoally distrustful of each other, etch of them actutted by motives which are purely selfish ! It mast be to the credit of Sena tor Butler that on his side be is frank enough to declare tha. be docs not and will not believe, or trust, the Democratic party. Stjnator Butler is kind enough to dub those Democrats who will not submit to his supreme diatation, 'Gold bugs in disguise," whatever that may mean to him, it certainly baa no significance to the tbousauds of Democrats in this State who faror silver, but who will not accept Senator Butler's leadership in order to secure it. And now thst be has secured an agreement on electoral fusion with the State Democratic commitr tee, bow pleasant and courteous it is for htm to say of the Democrts: "Just surrey the situation a mo ment. Just consider how ridiculous ly jon are acting by lustily howling for ailrer while you are trying to drire from ILJongress focb silver men wbeae record is unimpeachable and whose future purpose is ungues tionable ! Indeed, you are trying to defeat six men whose records on tbe silver question are as good as any record you can show, for as a matter of fact Pearson and Linney can compare favorably with yon on (his issue. And their t itude as to the future is as good, if not better, than any you can assume on the strength of past records. Yes, while yon are trying to defeat these four or si men, the Republicans of the State are helping the Peoples party to elect five silver Populists to Con gress from this State." And again, "Now, aren't you a beautiful mess 2. You are silver men np to the hub aren't you? Well, we guess! (not!!) You are showing your parslyjinglj, overpowering de- rotion to silver by trying to splutter out some disgusting drivel over 'the fact that Populists venture to nomi nate tbeir own men in two or three other districts where Democratic nominations are made. It is per fectly proper, is it, for you to fight Populists everywhere, but it is un righteous and nnboly for Populists to fight Democrats anywberel! Well continue to believe it if you will. All it will cost you is a smashing de feat in November, when you will find that yon haven't a single repre sentative in Congress." There is no use for Democrats to attempt to try to please Senator Butler. It is impossible and be Democrats. Accept Populism and you may be acceptable, but nothing hich has the ring of sound Dem ocracy will please Senator Butler. Democracy and Populism are not and cannot be kin, and fusion which springs from such an at tempted union, must result disas trously to Democracy. Sew mrm Balltflac aa' Loa Auo- Matlaa.

There are" over one hundred fmen n New Brne who cow own their homes who probably never would have been property owners but for tbe aid rendered by this association.

The merits of this admirable or ganization need but to be known to commend them to every person in terested in the upbuilding of New Berne and we intend in the future to more fully call the attention of our people to an institution that has done and is so capable of doing good.

A Missing Artist. A young man named Grant, who came out here a few days ago to paint mountain scenery and who was stop ping over at Pine Hill, has been miss ing for the last five days. He went out to sketch the mouth of Black canyon, and next day they found his easel and brushes and paints scattered ever the ground. The general idea is that a bear will) his lair in the canyon woke up, taw a gocd'thiug iu front cf him and proceeded to take it iu. Ho makes the fourth artist who tas mysteriously ciis r.pp.earcd in tnis section in the last two ycais. The belief that Mr. Grunt is cn tho inside is further strengthened by the fact that a bear which Joe Harper shot at and wounded a day or two ago near the canyon spat se veral trousers but ten J and a vest buckle out of his mouth a.i he! ran away.

The Bicycle Gymkhana ttg It 1 Seen Tn Dear Old London. The bicycle gymkhana has not hit tho American cycling public very hard as yet, but it is on the way. This report of the last games held at the Wheel club in London may interest the American iratemity: Tho apple race for ladies was won by Miss W. Roberts, who very smartly picked up with her mouth an apple floatiug in a basin of water, and riding round the track, oarried tbe fruit to the judge without having touched it with her hands. Miss G. Fielding came in second. In the affinity competition a gentleman rodo a lady's machine, and when half tho requisite distance had been covered, made way for the owner of the bicycle, who finished the race. The exchange was smartly effected by ilis G. Fielding and Mr. Skarratt, and by Mrs. Middleton Clark and Mr. Nott, who took tho second prize. Miss Field ing did not stand on ceremony with Aunt Sally, but, quickly hitting the poor old lady's pipe from her mouth, was off and at the winning post before Miss W. Roberts had remounted her machine. The letter writing race was won by Miss Sewill and Mrs. Cowburn, while Misses Martinez and Skarratt secured the pocket sewing competition, in which two pockets cf the jacket worn had to be sewed up, and a certain distance rid den in a given tima The hat trimming race was very amusing, and much laugh ter was caused by tho incongruous ap pearance of Mr. Fielding, who, in addi tion to the nsnal mascrjliue attire, wore a brown straw hat adorned with green ribbon and yellow flowers, which had been trimmed by himse lf in the sight of an appreciative audience. A black hat neatly trimmed with many colored flow ers, from which a bine veil floated in the breeze, gave distinction andi a prize. to Mr. S. C. Skarratt. The prizes for tilting at the ring fell to Messrs, Skar ratfc and E. V- Nott, aud thQ3 for tho egg race to the Misses Roberts and Sewill, who sueoeeded in taking two eggs from a basket and riding with them iu their hands, unbroken, to the judge, New York Telegram.

Paris i3 going ahead in tho matter ol catering for cyclists. Jn tbe beantifnl Bois do Boulogne there is now a special avenue, over a mile in length, which is exclusively reserved for cyclists. An astonishing physiological phenera enon is just announced, from Paris. It is that the size, ef tho waists of all wo. meii of fashion has suddenly incroased thrco pr four inches. Cycling and; tight lacing do vo$ gp. veil tcgwu?. A method pf nickeling vooel, which may eventually prove useful in finish ing wooden handle bars and rims, has been devised by tho German chemist Iwangbcin, the wood being coveied by a thin coating of metal by cither a dry or wet proaesn. The Mirror on a Wheel. While there may bo here and there a person bo well contented with himself that he must carry a mirror on his bi cycle, utility and not vanity is the reaj canse for the device. When riding, a, wheelman's duty is to loofc ahead, bat there are circumstances that phljge him to tun his bead often to see what is going on behind him. No inexperienced rider can do this without deviating from a straight course, and it is even dangerous for an expert rider to turn his head, aa he is apt to come into col lision whil so doing. To obviate this difficulty a simple appliance has been devised which can be attached to the handle bar or fork of any wheel.
