V FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1891. Thk Economist and Falcon, of E. City, , have consolidated and will hereafter be Lwued as one paper under the head of Economist Falcou, with Col, R B. Crecy as editor. ' Gov. Fowl's Message delivered to tbe Legislature of North Carolina id aa able and well prepared documeut. He refers at length to all the industrial enterprises of the Bute. Til first issue of the Fremont Graphic, published at Fremont, H. o by Oliver G. ' ferrell ditor and proprietor, is at hand, The Graphic is another Democratic banner Unfurled to the breeze of a free country. Long may it wave to the glory of its editor and the good of the cause it represents. While we believed that the Force Bill had received a death blow, in its displace. Went by the financial bill, yet Senator Vance whose opinion is doubtless correct, is quoted as saying that he does not think the bill is dead or that any effort will be spared upon the part of its advocates to pass it . The Senator says, however, that nothing the Democratic Senators can do to kill it will be kft undone. Among other bills that will be brought before the Legislature now iu session at Raleigh, will be a bill to devise some plan whereby the fisheries on the Hoanoke river may be protected from the pound nets that line the Albemarle sound. 'Last season fishing on the Roanoke was almost a failure so numerous were tbe pound nets in the sound. Whether the bill to be introduced will be to abolish the pound net altogether or allow them to b fished at staled times, we are enable to say, but we are sure some action will be taken to pro tect the fishing Industry along the ltoanoke river. A law should not be made that will debar the sound fishermen the right to fish their nets at Btated times, but it should proLibic them from putting out their nets at the firs1 of the seasen and not taking them in until the season is over, thus cottiug off the run of all fish into tbe rivers entirely. Not only is such a law for the present bent fit of the river fisherman, but it is necessary for the future of the fishing in. dustry of Eastern Carolina, Natural sience teaches that fish should be allowed to use ,Ju culm, still waters during the season iu which they are spawning so that the eggs may mature and hatch. As it is the fish are either caught or driven back and made to spawn in the rough waters of the sounds where the eggs are distroytd, thus demiu jshicg the supply every year. Tna Wilmington Star in writing upon tbe Indian trouble which is just now looked upon as a serious matter says : The policy pursued by this Government in its dealiugs with the Indiaua has baeu a mistaken one -from the brginning. The longer it is persisted in the worse it be comes. Before the days of railroads and the rapid movement of immigration westward, there S - . . ... tetweeu tbe Missouri river aua lue licet y Mountains for all the Indians that lived in . tnat territory, but the white man has fol lowed or rather moved with the railroad, and ss a consequence the Indian hag been crowded westward, the area opeued to him becoming more and more contracted every year. The deer, antelope and buffalo, which " famished him with meat to eat and clothing to keop him warm in winter, have been ex. terminated, and thus one great Bourne of Jus supplies has been cut off. When with his rifle he could go out and supply himself with most of the food be needed it was comparatively An easy matter to keep him reasonably contented, for with 'he supplies he got from the Government and the pro ceeds of the buffalo and other bides he sold to the fur companies which had their trad, ing poets in the Indian country, he got along pretty well and could without much trouble supply Ids few wants. When win the eet in and the wild herds moved south ward to seek pasturage, the Indian was free to follow if be saw fit, but now he is com pelled to depeud mainly for sustcuHce on the money and rations which the Govern, jaent agrees to pay him. Leu these fall short either from his own Improvidence, the failure of the Government to keep its contracts, or the thieving rapacity of Indian Brents and rings, he musi suffer, as the CioUX who are novr. on the vrar path have Miff-jred. and then come trouble. The mistake the Government has made 1a Its dealings with tbe Indian has been that it has looked upon hiui . simply as a cavaf e, incapable of being anything else, and consequently It has never endeavored to make him anything bat ,, what nature made him and what it found him. It hap, however, helped to make him worse and teach him vices which he did not know by throwing Lini in contact with bad white men, not the least of whom were the Indian agents sent aaionpt them asreprtseutativea of the Government, many of whom became rich by the plunder they got out of these helpless people. In late years Indian schools have been established, where young Indians are edu cated and taught trades, and then turned loose to go beck among their tribes and forget all they learued. Tbe Indian problem will never be settled unless by tbe extermination of the Indian, until the reservation system and the tribal rela. ion and government are broken up the lauds divided out in severalty, the rest-rva. tions a lid adjacent territory thrown open to settlers, and the Indians taught that they must turn over the sod, plant seed, and get their liviug out of the ground, as white people and black people do. This may not be such an easy matter to accomplish, but it can be done, and it is better and cheaper to undertake it thaa to starve them and then be put to the necessity and expense of slaughtering them because they go on the war-path in preference to being starved. Killing them off, which some people seem to think will be the quickest, easiest, and most effective way to settle the problem, will be a pretty big job as there are about 250, 000 strung along through the far West and other habitations, and it wo aid prove a pretty expensive busi ness too. They have laud enough still left, if taken charge of by the Government and properly disposed of, to put them all on farms and give them money enough to equip them, helves and get in a fair way of becoming cultivators of the soil. The territory they still own is three times aa large ai North Carolina, which makes them pretty substan tial laud proprietors. This land is in the respective reservations, which should be bought from them, the lands divided up, each Indian family given a homesleadniade citizens, md responsible to the laws like other citizens, the reservations thrown open to settlement, and then let the Indian scuffle along and take care of himself as other races do. When this is done, there will be no more agency stealing, no more wars grow, ing out of the violated faith of the white man to bring disgrace to the Government, VANCE NOMINATED 1 T" Tbe Democratic caucus on Monday night last nominated Hon. Z. B. Vance by accla mation for re-election to the TJ. S. Senate. The News and Observer in speaking of the nomination says; "This is iu exact conformity with the wishes of the Democratic people of North Carolina, and the unanimity by which the action was taken speaks well for the people and their representatives. We would be lacking iu caudor if we should attempt to concenl that there have been efforts made to bring about a different result ; but those are matters which we have no disposition to dwell on. We prefer to let the remem. branceof such differences pass away and if any wounds have been received let them be healed by that isovertisfu remedy wnioh nature has provided the healing powers of time. In the election of Senator Vance the whole peopie of Koith Carolina may well rejoice. They may rjoioe that the State bus such a son to servo her and that the State of North Carolina can furnish such a lehder to the Democratic hosts of this Union. The South has been represented in the Senate by many brilliant and useful statesmen, but none iu those latter davs have achieved such a name as Zebulon B. Vance. Be r fleets honor on his State and honor upon the Soutu. Tho State of North Carolina does well to retnrn him to the seat which he so highly adorns." ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?
