BETTER PEACS THAN CALAMITY
'..The esteemed Raleigh -Yfic-!
Observer in a recent editorial,
"They cry Peace, Peace, when there
ia no Peace," has a colamn ami a
half attempting to explain its posi
tion and rofcent the criticisms of
. seteral of its couteinpomrif s.
- The Jovr"jtal3 criticism, the
'Vetcf:0-w Baa very much mis
taken, for the JorKXAia criticism
was that the A'.-O. local and cdi
. tdijal 'expressions were very iucon
atttent, the local editor publishing
, glowing accounts of Raleigh's devel
opment and growth, and its future
possibilities, while the editorial col
umns 'trere filled with gloomy and
dira predictions for the future, with
thet present conditions represented
as being in a chaotio state.
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.
'This may be "gocd politics, " but
. it U not the object of journalism to
'"cojilinnaliy look through shaded
glaMea,' to judge tho good by the
etii. -
. If itmostbe"Peace,"or "Calami
tr'lct it bo the former by all
means, for the wail of tho political
calamity howler, baa been too all
persistent daring the past few years.
Under the plea of "telliog the
truth' tho AVkv Observer has in its
local. columns dilated on the wou
derful boildiog op of lUIeigh.
It has issned "special editions" on
numerous cities and industries of
North' Carolina., showing the great
. development of these, and the possi
bilities of their future.
YeV- at the same time, Tery often
in these same i&raes, it has edited
. ita telegraphic nes colomns with
woeful scare heads, often mislead
ing as to the subject matter follow
ing, and .its editorial columns have
reeked with lamentations over the
present and fnture condition of busi-
neas and trade- in general.
If the Arte- Observer is to be a
calamity paper let it be one without
apology, but to blow hot and cold
" in. the. same issue is neither good j
journalism nor good boniness.

standing and reputation, if it so de

And now the countenance of our
esteemed friend he editor "f the

.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.

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.

The hist days ,,( n,,. tanll debate in
Ihe Senate were disagreeably warm and
it was apparent that the Senators were
ipiite -is t ir. d of it as the public was.
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. It was tit for tat
hi tweeii tie s, . very sharped tongucd gen
tlemen for. iu bile, while bursts of lailgh
tirl' from tin- other Senators indicated that
the wiangle was furnishing amusement,
if let wi-.loin. ha' its hearers. hen Mr.
t 'handler in mock alarm expressed his
fear of Mr. Tillman that gentleman as
sured him licit without his pitchfork he
w as cut it'el v liannless. 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. The only
counterfeit yet secured by the otlicials is
a very had one, not likely to deceive
anybody even fairly expert in handling
money Much of ihe printing is blurred
aud indistinct, and the green is lighter
than that on the genuine certificate.
Handlers of these notes will lose nothing
by observing them closely.
The crooked patent attorneys are find-1

one, and are beginning to fall by the

States government and ot an hon
orable iir-ifession. Commissioner
Butterworth has lately disbarred eight
patent attorneys from practice before
the I". S. Patent oflice for dishonorable
practices, anil has charged John ed-
derburn i Co., of Washington, with nu
merous lrauilulent practices anil ordered
them to show cause whv they should not
be disbarred.

than this lobbying of this dusky ex-queen

It is doubtful whether there is a single

Warren recently returned from
tie county, where they had been
working in the interest of the New
Perne Academy. Soon after their
return the Jot una I. interviewed
them through its reporter.
"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.
