Tbe-itott-s Observer could never bd accoted of bejng "jnbilant" in ita editorial columns over the busi oesa outlook of the country, for it has determined to see through prej odiced.eyes, 'noting imperfections, discrediting anything that might be called good.

U t'iiinatnii hadl been considered above proof. .What, then, was the anuzement of Wofcbester county when one morn ing the only Republican paper came 'out fresh and damp from tho presj" containing an article which referred to the leader of t he party as "Shau tytown (leorge ?" It gave great oc casions for the enemy to blaspheme, and the sons of Relial made haste to make mouths at our friend and ceased not. Then the explanation came. An enemy had done it. The editor had been away, and when he c.ime hack he wrote a scorcher. He sai 1 that the papers which had quoted the "Chanty town (ieorge" article are ring organs and their editors have mustard-seed souls. In piot',ti edi torials from a paper, says our friend it is only fair to quote "what the responsible owners of that sheet wrote when bober, ar.d not what some one slippe I into the paper when they were away from the oflice on legitimate business. We some times fight hard, hut always fair." And so it will be seen that w file, as a rule, the wayspf the country editor are ways of pleasantness, all his paths are not paths of peace. Baltimore Said. A WEEK Or HEAT. The past week or ten days ha seen a high range of temperature seldom witnessed in this city. A temperature of 90 to 'Jo d eg res for two or three days would not be unnsual, it is expected at this sea son. but whenever the ther mometer register 05 degrees perspiriDg humanity suffer?, and endures, with a forced patience perhaps, feeling sure that the time (or cooler weather is not far away BtU the present heated term has exceeded its limit. Each morning if has been hot, the temperature ris ing during the day and recording daily above ninety degrees. I he thunderstorm and rains, in stead of causing a break in the heat, has seemed to increase and intensify it, until humanity has cried, "Enough of this hot weather!" But with all this hot weather,there is much for New.Bcrnians to be thankful for. This weather has greatly assisted the crops, which wil be important contributing factors in a few weeks to the trade of this city The people of New Berne while they may have temporally been sub jected to the inconveniences arising from 6uch a prolonged hot spell, yet have been generally in good health The city has had an ample and pure water supply. The streets have been well sprinkled. The sewerage of the city has been carefully attend ed to, aud nothing in the way of disorders from bad water and de fective sewerage has threatened the city's health. No mter if it has been hot, the people of New Berne need fear no trouble from bad sanitation. Therefore the temporary personal discomforts, caused by the hot weather of the past week, will not be without compensation. Business has continued fairly good; crop reports all point to a good yield, and prices for the farm products all indicate that the farmer will receive a fair remuneration for his toil. While further heat is desirable, it is to be hoped that the general average temperature may not be so persistently high, and that while the crops recei-e all that they may need in moisture and heat, humani ty may be treated to more moderate temperatures. Gorilla on a 5 treet Car. A wild hyena roaming about the north side and a gorilla loose in the down-town business district helped to make life exciting here today. The hyena escaped from Lincoln Park three days ago, and it is thought the gorilla heard of the un successful attempt to recapture him anJ. concluded to try the same thing. It has been a star attraction in one of the dime museums, and when it observed that a careless attendant had left the cage door unfastened the captive quietly slipped out, climbed through a window and clambered down to the sidewalk. Passers-by scattered when the ugly looking brute appeared, but it paid little attention to them. Some news boys, however, got on its trail, and the gorilla darttd out in the street and boarded a cable car, to the con sternation of the passengers at the sight of the hairy curio, which is about four feet high . The car stai ted but the passengers, especially wo men, began to jump from both sides. The animal climbed up a post ank in seeking another perch seized the bell cord, stopping the cars. Then the museum attendants, hav ing discovered the flight of the animal, surrounded it, dragged it down and carried it back to its cage. Chicago Times-lleraid.

Still lin n- were s-jme more or less inter esting episodes between talk and vniis upon such absorbing topics as the duty on Lb-aching powder. Among them was the spirited colloijtiy between Senators Tillman and Chandler, started bv the former in a speech in favor of his tariff I amend mi nt imposing a head tax of 1U0 upon all immigrants.

Mr. Tillman made some uncomplimentary allusions to ex-I'resident Cleveland for his veto of the Immigration bill. Another break in the dull monotone was the two-hour speech of Senator Turpie in favor of his tariff amendment to lax all inheritances over 51.0110. Mr. Turpie has one of the most picturesque vocahularys in the Scnale and he drew on it heavily in his speech. He told the I'epubl ioans that the tariff bill would not furnish the money needed by the government, and closed by dec-luring that there was no more right in abandoning the free coinage of silver than there would he in abandoning the free coinage of gold. Senator Tillman's taiijf amendment imposing a tax of $ 100 each on immi grants and making it a misdi nioanor for any alien w ho does not intend becoming a citizens to enter the I'nited States for the purpose ot engaging in any mechan ical trade or manual labor, until silver is admitted to onr mints for coinage on the same conditions with gold and at a ratio of P to 1. received just three votes one from a Populist, Butler, one from a Democrat, Tillman, one from a Republi can, Quay. Forty-eight votes were cast against it. Secret service olhcials of the Treasury have discovered that the new j.1 silver certificate has been counterfeited by the photolithographic process.

"How did you get to Hyde and bow long were you on the ivnv?'' asked the reporter. "We went on a sail boat to Swan Quarter, and it took us just eight hours to make the trip. Leaving New P.erne at eleven o'clock, Satur day night, we ate breakfast at Swan Quarter by eight o'clock Sunday morning." "How did von find the roads for bicycling!'" "Splendid, we made the trip over the, county on our v heels, and found the roads everywhere in Hyde just as good as the shell roads in New Berne." "What did you think of the cli mate down there!-'" "There is a fine breeze, and most of the county being near the Sound, there is a flavor of salt in the aii making it as bracing as the sea shore at Morehead." How about the farming land of which we all have heard so much 'J. "It is a black peaty soil, and in a point of fertility even surpassed our expectations, ihe crops are sonu . what .back waul due to the cold spring, hut since the warm weather has set in they have improved great ly, and we conl l predict a good yield. The oat crop is very fine this year. One man told us that he had oats that will yield DO bushels per acre. Their principal crops are, corn, oats and rice," What was your impression of the people ? "We have never met more hospi table people. Although we wore perfect strangers, we were cordially received and nicely entertained everywhere we went. It was a source of regret that we could net accept all the urgent invitations to spend the night or take dinner which were so freely tendered us. The majority of the people arc well-to-do farmers. There is not the disposition to move to town which is so prevalent in those places not blessed with so productive a soil." "How dil you find them on the school question '" "They are very much interested in school-work, and are inclined to patronize us. We set influences to work which, we think, w ill be productive of good results; and bring us pupi's to help in building up the New Berne Aci-j demy. We were gratified at the great in terest manifested and specially that they seemed desirous of choosing New Berne as the place likely to suit them best. Our object in visiting Hyde was to let the people know what we have in New Berne; and viewed from this standpoint wj feel that our trip was a success." It is very gratifying to the Jam x A L, that those gentlemen are tak ing so great an interest in turning the attention of the people in the surrounding counties to the New Berne schools Wc have always taken a deep in terest in whatever tended to build up our town in anv direction, and one of the principal means of devel opment in a town is a svsti m of ctlicient schools.
