' The esteemed Charlotte Olvserver refusesto play In the. political ring of North Carolina, either as a peace maker or piece maker. And yet there are those who will say the Observer takes the role of a political scold and breathes forth defiance on every oc casion, even when a bare excuse exists, to retreat from editorial at tack. By its enemies, the Oliseiver is al ways set down as favoring political backsliding. It is held as a recalci trant to dernoercy, "because it refuses to be ultra on fwy thing and any thing that, may be advanced by cer tain goody-soody mate democrats, who deem ulti aisni, as associated with themselves, as the I rue type and ex ponent of democracy. It is not that others may not have opinions, oh no, but those opinions must he taken and reflected as the aforesaid goody-goody democrats, may say. Il Is not so long ngo, that the Observer was roundly abused for its steadfastness to ex President Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland as President, came nearest to dem pcracy, if the Journal may be permit ted to express itself. Mr. Cleveland, as a citizen, certainly maintained the honor, of American citizenship in its fairest type. Why should the good word for the ex-president provoke hostile comment? Just as well ask. Why does an honest independent dem ocracy provoke hoatlllty today. There is a Pecksniffiau democracy in North Carolina that fools too many people, as being the real thing. It is exclti- . slve; for it hopes to control by lieiug go. And yet democracy does not mean exclusiveness or the unques tioning dictum of a few, toname,and shape party measures, in advance of primaries and conventions. The con servative democrat is uniformly de clared, to be politically tainted. Why? Because the exclusive set know that conservatism means individuality, and - the personal declaration of individual opinions, with the demand why and wherefore, for doing things, when actions are inquired into. .Naturally conservatism means the abolition of the party lash, and this very fact, that many democrats in North Carolina re fuse to recognize the crack of this party lash, causes gnashing of teeth and vituperation on the part of poli ticians, whose only choice to gain of fice has been during the excitement of campaigns when the lash was made the token and sign of party fealty. ''But that day has passed. The sooner It Is recognized and thoroughly ac cepted the better and truer will be North Carolina democracy. THE QUESTION OF MINE AM) TMSE. Perhaps nothing is easier to satisfy the average conscience, than the ques tion of the personal possession , of any article, thai at the time may ap pear to have no special ' Ownership. The finder of a pocketbook, will some how at once attach a personal own ership to it 'Where are the countless lost articles of value, that can be read of in the newspapers? JJot all have 1 n ground op under the foot of i. Neither have they fallen Into li s and been lost by being covered j by dust or rubbish, But If lost :.-les could tell the tale, many so iled good people would be shocked, y the voice of the doflar picked up, jewelry found, which ' declared inst their present ownership, or the umption of It. . ' . ..1 in other ways, besides the flnd of articles of more or less value, i t'-ere arise this question of what Is nine maid .yours, liia) is some thing lguWlslrag about itf Meat and women, scrupulously honest in every other way, will find some ar ticle, and by a kind of fatuous reason ing, will at once establish an owner ship, and if they should see in a news paper, that the article they found was actually the property of another, they will pride themselves on their honesty by returning the article After some disaster, by fire, flood or wind,. people will eagerly search among the ruins, and finding anything that suits them, will appropriate It, forgetting that they are on the premi ses of others, that what they take Is as much the property of those who suffered from the disaster, exposing their property to the crowd, as it was when a roof covered and protected It. In this city, after fires, and it Is not peculiar here, crowds will be found raking over the ruins, picking up and carrying away articles of value. It may seem harsh to say, it Is stealing. But it is nothing less, a 1.1 It Is the duty of the authorities to see to it, that police protection be extended over the ruins aftur a fire, until prop erty owners can go over the premises, and Bave what may be of value. A burned building looks like the lout ar ticle on the street, as being the prop erly of the one who gets to it first. But a second Ihpught will at once con vince any sensible person, that there is an ownership which is not lost, be cause some fatality has put the lost pocketbook, or the remains of a burn ed building, in the power of another to se4ze and claim possession. THE CITY'S EDITATIONAL PORTS. KK- Rpports of associations, treasurers of city and county, and reports full of figures, are passed over by the av erage newspaper reader. And yet it is the unusual report that dope not pos sess interest and value to every citi zen. A report of special interest pub lished a few days ago in these col umns, was one that appears monthly, some nine months in the year. It was the school report of the graded schools of New Bern. This report no doubt wn3 read by the pupils whose names appeared, and through them their parents' were shown how fine a record was made. But there is something beyond this forced reading of school reports. The personal part of it must naturally be of concern. Yet beyond this Is the thought, or should be of every citizen. Is the graded school doing its highest work? Does the last report show a gain In every way over the previous month's report? And greatest of all should be the thought, what have 1, the citizen, done to assist in promot ing the welfare and improvement of the school. No factor must or will contribute so largely to the future development and upbuilding of New Hern, as its schools. This being true, it is not merely the privilege, but the duly of every citizen to lend help to these schools, that they may accommodate. and be equipped to meet the advanc ing educational needs ofthis communi ty. Every report should be studied The schools should be visited. Super intendent and teachers should be rec ognized as prominent factors in this community, for it is through their faithfulness and perseverance, coupled with Intelligent and Christian effort, that the coming generation is to be made fit to take up the problems that are to enter into, and make this com munity and section a living and vital force in the world's progress. - There is more Catarrh In this sec tion of the country than-all other dis eases put together, anduntll the last few years was supposed to be incura ble. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrh' Cure, manufactured by F. J.
