The opponents of the North Carolina democracy have made various state ments of inefficiency on the part of the present administration. It is not a difficult jab, this political job of critic ism. It takes no genius to be an every day critic, and specially a political cri tic Thtre is no business, trade or pro fession that cannot be improved upon In its promotion or management. There never has been a public official who could fulfill every duty of his of fice, so as to satisfy even his friends, much less his enemies Therefore when a party seeks to take charge of affairs, be it in the county, State or nation, it must be able to prove itself to the voters, able, capable and trust worthy, and show that it can improve upon the party which it wishes to dis place in office. Have the opponents of the North Carolina democracy shown any good and sufficient reasons why they should elect their representatives at the polls next Tuesday, November Sixth? Nu to satisfy any intelligent citizen, who is familiar with men and things in the State. The leadership against the Democrats in the present campaign, is one which will make every voter hesi tate to listen to, much less follow. A leader may not be the whole party, bul be cannot be a leader unless the party majority, or those in control place him m the leadership. On the stump and in the press, Marion Butler stands in the present campaign as the leader to dic tate policies for the State Republicans. Dissatisfaction may be felt among Democrats on some party measures Bui can any pers n, any voter, any cit izen who has lived in North Carolina for the past ten years, believe for an instant, that the betterment can or will come through Marion Butler? Yet, every vote cast for the State Republi can ticket, is a vote of endorsement for Marion Butler. It is a plea for the re turn of Butlerism and Russellism, for no intelligent person can think the present Republican leadership has im proved, or has any less personal motive for political success in North Carolina, than had Mr. Butler and Judge Russell ten years ago. Men want changes. Citizens think aa - administration needs turning out for a new crowd. Quite often this may be right But before making radical changes let there be good note taken of those who are are to be put in power. It has been estimated the Russell Buttlerism cost North Carolina $25, 000,000. vLet us wait a few years long er at least, before making another such JURY EFFECT UPON CORPORA- f TI0N AGGRANDIZEMENT. The average citizen forgets too eas ily his individual power, as a factor hi . the ordering of advancement or correc tion in the commonwealth. This aver age citizen will abuse officials in muni . eipal, state and governmental control of affairs. , He will roundly curse corpo rations for their abuse of their powers, which ; effect his business and ambi tions, and seek to put a limit upon hie personal desires to advancement? and growth. . :., ., And yet this 'same citizen has the power, if intelligently and co-opera- ' lively employed with that of his fellow citizens to gain his ends without much cost or trouble. It is the citizen's vote which makes, In co-operation with his fellow citizens, the officials for city, eaunty, state and nat'on. Does he want new officials T The remedy is his to sfp'y t th firat election. And this same citizen grants fran " ' sal privi!ejes to corporation, i ', i " ad, an J then meekly accepts : r t th if r n n :s. He may run t 1 ;' i r( ii-rsirl eursa these cor- ' t V ' ' ' f ' - tx such idle vaporingst Nothing, they just go ahead and assume a complete proprietorship, and treat the laws as best suits their interests, ignoring them if they conflict with their interests.-,-" Ar'--- ):-- And as with those elected to public office, so the citizen has a remedy against the corporation that submits him to abuse and indignity. This remedy lies in the courts and in the'&Ws'Z 7ZS& jury bos. And here the average citi zen refuses too often to asseit his indi vidual rights of citizenship. Law is slow. Court expenses may be heavy. And both of these are made so because corporations have made legislation tedious and costly, ' and the average citizen will submit to a thousand dol lars worth of loss and countless indig nities rather than attempt a righting in the courts, because the railroad or corporation can prolong and wear out those who would attempt to secure their just rights. But the citizen who does attempt vindication at court, needs the help of his fellow citizen in the jury box. It is here where failure too often comes. The juryman fails to grasp the chance, to mete out a just punishment upon the corporation, which has abused and thrust indignity upon his'feltow citizen, whose case comes before him, the jury man. But the juryman weakens. The corporation with its array of lawyers, and manufactured witnesses over awes the juryman. He fails to grasp his op portunity. The result is no verdict, or one at which the corporation laughs. And the citizen who has given his time and money, to vindicate a principle, leaves court disgusted, and future ef forts for citizens to assert their just rights against railroads, or any corpo ration, are weakened, and the railroad bocs ahead as it pleases, a law unto itself. fIRE SERVICE BUT NOT MANDATORY. The fire of Tuesday night again calls ittention to the ned of a paid fire de partment service for the city. The minor fire9, such as the burning of some small one story frame building, is "Ot seen except by the lew. But such a fire as that which destroyed the Elks corner, or the half block of structures on the Middle street dock, is seen by thousands of citizens, and the estimate of what the fire service is, can be judged. A voluntary fire department cannot be criticised, because its service is voluntary not paid or mandatory. And it is not that the volunteers of the 'ew Bern fire service lack in enthus iasm or fail to work, but even with ' his local zeal, it is not business, it h not what is wanted for the preservation of property from fire in this city. For :an this volunteer service meet the ob ligations which aredemanded to secure such fire insurance rates, as would be given property owners, under a paid Sre department. If the fire risks of New Bern were to continue as they were fifteen or twenty years ago, with build ings not above three stories, and few of these, and with a limited terri tory to cover, a volunteer service would do the work. But let any citizen for a minute consider the mills and valuable buildings now in New Bern. The fact that each month new and costly build ings are being contracted for the de mand for fire protection through a ser vice that is mandatory, that is under positive orders, and trained specially for fire fighting, can best be realized. And as to the volunteer service each month finds its members more scat tered, and less able to do service, spe cially during business hours, for few employers will keep an employe who would run from his work at every tap ul the fire bell . What is wanted is a paid fire service in this city, and it is wanted so as to essen at once every risk and extra ex pense which the puiely volunteer ser vice now brings upon every owner of perishable property. And it must be remembered that the saving in fire in--uance premiums would pay for the change in fire service. - $100 Reward $100.

The Old Sheet Iron Row on the Market Street Dock , ; Now a Mere Mem- :-'v:; - ; ory. At 8:15 last night the fire alarm Bounded "24" which designated the lo cation of a fi.-e on Middleatreet, in the vicinity of South Front. It did not require any recond look to tell one as he saw the flames bursting out of the iron-clad store occupied by Mr. A. D. Willis that there was a very stubborn fire in progress. It started on the see oni floor of the store and the dry con dition of the joists and rafters made the structure a mere toy for the de vouring element to play with. Once obtaining control the fire chose the easiest channel for its progress. In stead of doing up one store at a time, j it swept through the upper part of all the stores and had them all going at once. The stock of hay in the Harriett & Spencer bui'ding about midway of the block added to the fierceness of the blase.' Such rapid progress did the fire make that it was with difficulty that a quantity of furniture stored in some of the rooms by Mr. Blades was saved, fortunately however, they suc ceeded in getting it into a safe place. The Sre swept on until the whole row to the last ona on the dock was swal lowed up in the insatiable maw of the fire fiend The firemen faught gallantly and ev ery resource at their command was used to get control of the fire. The fire engines we e put into service but one was found deficient soon after it fired up and it was released from duty, but the other one gave good results and staid by until the fire was over. The Cutter crew was on hand and ren dered valuable assistance. There were eight or more strea.os of water play ing on the fire nearly all the time and the pressure at the water works indi cated 80 pounds. , The saw mills and the New Bern Cotton Oil mill pumps gave valuable assistance by pumping water into the mains thus relieving the city pumps to considerable extent. While the attempt to save the burn ing buildings wss futile, the efforts to save neighboring buildings were emi nently successful Th9 J. F. Taylor building and others on the opposite side of the street would surely have been consumed had not streams of water constantly been playing on them. As it was, the vapor aroe from the build ings like smoke, which showed how great was their danger. In the rear of the burning buildings was a factory used by T. J. Turner for mak ing mattress :S and brooms which was destroyed. 1 However, the flames were well cot fined to one area and there were few flying embers to catch other buildings on fire. What wind there was blowing was favorable as it came gent ly from the north fanning the blaze to ward the river. The heat was terrific and atone' time the people who sat watching the fire on the E. C. D. wharf had to seek other places. The scene made by the reflection of the flames in the sky and on the water was most beautiful and made' a view which an artist could faithfully portray. As to the Josses, they are not so heavy to Mr. Blades who owns the en tire block as to some of his tenants. The buildings wer doomed to be pulled down at bo. very distant day and their intrinsic value was small. , Following are partial list of losses. Spencer and Harriett, loss 12.500; in surance $1,000.
