Hrst Democratic President in a
quarter o.f a century.
The people
of the,United States and of the
world have taken an interest in
everything connected with him
that is unprecedented. His fami
ly is brought also into immediate
notice. Then, at this time, Miss
Cleveland foists a book upon the
world, and on account of her posi
tion—the book possessing nothing
extraordinary—its sales were enor

W Col. Harry .Skinner made us a
pleasant call on Saturday. Inter
viewing him in relation to the
“.dark horse ” and its relation to
Col. Skinner, he said pleasantly
that the case of the dark horse
would not arise, -that either Tom
Skinner or Major Latham would
he ,y animated. and that the dark
'horses could stay in pastures green
.•andTummate until another and a
Marker time.”
The above is clipped from the
Economist, It is very commenda
ble in Col. Skinner to suppress all
sentiment favoring his being a
“ dark horse.” No man in the
First District has done more hard
work and made more sacrifices for
friends than he. But his day will
surely come. No man of his po-
ilittaeal •sagacity, energy and talent
•can be kept in the rear ground.
Should Maj.Latham and Tom Skin-
Der both miss the nomination, we
•would sooner bet our money on
Gol. Skinner than any one else.
.If he should be nominated more
hats would be thrown u.p in Pitt
county than you have seen lately.
Really the New Yorkers are
now talking big things. A recent
issue of the New York Star devo
ted nearly two pages to a grand
scheme .now on foot in that part
of the world. The plan is that
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City,
Hoboken, and those other places
ground there, be united into one
great self-governing corporation to
be known by the name of Manhat
tan. Such R corporation, if estab
lished now, would contain a popa
lation of about 3,000,000 souls, and
it is thought that only a few years
would elapse ere the population
had outstripped London. It would
in all probability, be the stepping
stone to giving the United States
the greatest and largest city in the
•world. This scheme as so elabo
rately described by the Star, looks
elegant on paper, but whether or
iio such a plan is to become a real-
ity—-though it has been talked be
fore—is far beyond the reach of
our knowledge to say. We would
like to see our nation hav.e the
largest and most popuLus city of
the world, but it does seem hard
to doaway with New York. Why,
the people down this way are wed-
■ded tothe name. Every merchant
who departs for the purchase of
new goods goes to “ New York”
and takes in the city. And, too,
the idea of having to bang out
signs “ Goods sold at Manhattan
Cost,” “ Manhattan Cash Store,”
and all such ! They don’t fit’ the
mouth worth a cent. With some
people this would be equivalent to
Cleveland will now edit, perhaps
in name only, a so-called literary
paper in Chicago. This is too
much. It passes the limit of hu
man endurance. That she should
sell, bargain away, and make capi
tal out of her position is deplora
ble. Of course she is.sensible,and
has .an eye single to her monied
interests. The 'paper that has se
cured her services will soon make
a fortune for the proprietors. But
it ?is not right for her to so conduct
herself. Why did she not intro-

Another Protest
While protesting against
the
precedent President Cleveland .set
with the manner in which his mar
riage took place, there is another
'example connected with the Cleve
land family, which, in our opinion,
.ought to be included all the time
and in every protest made. It is
the manner in which Miss Rose
members of the present Congress,
and the whole party cannot devote
too much attention to this import
ant chapter of political philosophy.
Do they intend to save the House
this fall thereby making the path
straight for electing a President
in 1888 ? They should know, and
lay this fact well to heart, that the
Republicans are preparing to make
strenuous efforts and a mighty ex
ertion to carry the House, and
their shrewdest leaders ^believe
they will succeed. They know
only too well, we fear, tor the suc
cess of Democracy, what a long
step this will bo towards triumph
in the greater struggle two years
from now. If they succeed, it will
inspire the masses, as they intend
it shall, with the conviction that
they will surely regain at the next
trial the control of the Federal
Government which they Jost two
years ago.
Is the ultimate result of the
coming Congressional elections
fully comprehended by the De-(
mocracy ? Has the magnitude of!
the impending struggle been care-i
fully measured by the Democrats?'
Are they aware that their present!
action will determine, not only!
the complexion of the next House,
but also forecast the result ot the
with the Shenandoah at Elizabeth
City on Saturday of each week.
L.S.
Marlboro Letter.
Mr. Editor :—We are still hav
ing too much rain for crops. It
has been nearly a week since our
upland has been dry enough to
plough, and at this writing there
is water standing in the corn and
cotton rows. This wet spell has
caused considerable damage to be
done by lice. I notice in every
cotton field that I have seen, spa
ces of ground that looks as though
there has not been anything plant
ed there this year, while three
weeks ago those places were cov
ered in the finest cotton that had
been there for many years. You
can also find large stalks ofcotton
that have not a single leaf on them
except a very small bud that is just
beginning to put out. Corn looks
very nice yet, but if it continues
wet much longer that will be great
ly damaged.
One thing I am sorry to state,
and t hat is, the peace and quietness!
