Hold Mr. McKinley down to the tariff and his own monstrocity will destroy him. The Republican office holding South is said to be solid for a second term all around. The contract for the administra tion building for the World's fair has been let at Chicago. It will cost $278,492. A convention is in session at Roanoke, Va., to take definite steps to have Virginia represented at tho World's fair. New Orleans has raised 91,318,11 for the Davis monument. Now that the place for it has been decided, let everybody work for it. The canal at Colombia, 8. C, has been sold to Prince & Co., of Boston, for $260,000. About 11,000,000 has been expended by the State in the construction of this canal. The real objection of the Repub lican papers to the Farmers' Alliance is that this pervasive and powerfnl organization is allied with the Democratic party upon the main issues of the day. Those persons who do not agree with Gov. Campbell on political lines cannot but admire his fighting qualities. His nomination by such an overwhelming majority indicates that the opposition within the party lines has been largely exagerated and magnified. , The Democratic Convention of Ohio renominated Campbell for Governor, and adopted a platform that . favors the free coinage of silver and gold, a tariff for Govern ment needs only and an income tax, and denounces the extravi gance of the Billion Congress, the tariff and the Force bill. Ladies who have to rnn house holds and bny tin-ware can make np their minds here after to pay double t be prices they have been accus tomed to pay. The McKinley tariff taxes on tin-plate went into effect July 1st, and now the tax will be 12,20 per 100 pounds instead of $1 as heretofore. Dealers and spec ulators who have had nine month's warning of this increase have been ' busy Importing all the tin-plate they - could bny under the old rate. " What will be the loss of the house holders 4 and users of tin will therefore be their gain, and while the former will have to exercise greater economy than ever to make both ends meet, the latter will daily grow fatter and richer. In the meantime the Government will not - get. one cent. The Augusta, (Ga,,) Chronicle notes the advent Into Georgia oi Senator Peffer, Congressman Simp. on and Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, and says: "There is no use la mincing ' matters about these : third-party apostles, and, we think, that they come to Georgia with one object in view, and that is to gain converts to the People's party, and thus Impair, if not destroy, the unity and strength of the Democratic party. All Democrats should unite as one man - to put "down this, new cruiade agalnBt the integrity of the Demooratio ; party, which , is the only hope of the Southern people for honest govern merit. Oar people should not play the fO)l now and throw away upon mere abstractions and distractions the only chance the Democratic party will probably have ia many years to regain possesion of the I ! r. - t4n ... r LOCAL NEWS.

Mr. Henry Gannett, chairman of the United States Executive Committee on geographical names being puzzled by the various ways in whioh ha has seen the name of this city spelled has been seeking information as to which is the oorrect one. His letter of inquiry addressed to tbe city clerk was turned over to Mr. W. H. Oliver to answer and he replied taking the position that as it was, prior to the war, officially written as one word without a final e, 'Newborn, " and that the original city oharter had it that way and toat the same style was used in the old laws of North Carolina of which he owns a compilation extending from 1715 to 1768, that therefore "Newbern" is the legal name and no other way should be used unless a change is made by the legislature. The original charter of the city did designate it "Newbern" but as our readers are aware it is extremely sel dom that it is so written now. The prevailing orthography is to make it two words with a final e "New Berne" as the Journal has always used it. Postmaster W. E. Clarke and his predecessor Mr. Matt Manly inform us that the address on nearly every letter that oomes to this office has it as two words and that the majority of them use the final e. The letters' being ad dressed in this way shows quite conclusively how our people spell it, for of oourse, their correspondents as rule codv after them and as custom hart , established this way so thoroughly JftWI natural inferenoe is that it is the pre ferred way. We do not intend to go into any dis- oussion of this matter. It has been fully argued in the past and we believe our oitizens understand the matter and have made their decision and that very few of them indeed wish to use the name as one word. The oity was named after the oapitol of Switzerland. As we stated, a letter of invitation was received some time ago for a delegation from here to at tend the celebration of the 700th anni versary of its founding. The or thography used in spelling the name of the two cities in that document throws some light on whether a final e should be used or not. Its own name ooours on tho letter head in the Swits language. It is then used without the final e "Bern." In the body of the letter, written in Eng lish, it is put "Berne" and the name of our oity is put "New Berne." Wny do they make this distinction in the same name in the two languages? Beoause "Bern" is tbe Swiss form of the word and "Berne" is the English form, just as the Italian oity "Venitia" becomes Venioe when anglioized and the people of Berne, Switzerland un derstand that fact and act upon it. We are also told that the two highest authorities in the United States, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Secretary of State for the United States make precisely the same difference according as they use the word in English or Swiss. We would like to see everybody using one way and it seems to us the easiest way for this to be accomplished is for the few to oome oyer to the way io general use, but while we have our preference in the matter we are willing to abide by whatever method all will adopt if I a determination can be reached, The Episcopal Rectory. The Episcopalians are preparing to build their reotory. We have seen the plans of the building as designed by Mr. H. W. Simpson, arohiteot. It will measure a little over 43 feet eaoh way, exoludingthe piazzi, wbioh will be of varying width, but averaging 12 feet The first story will have four rooms, parlor, sitting-room, rector's study and dining-room. A vestibule with nooks on each side will lead into the ball, whioh will be large with eastlake stairs finished in black walnut. An aroh will divide the main hall from the servants' hall, and rear stairs will lead from the latter to the seoond story. The ssoond floor will have four bed' rooms (all supplied with closets), a hall room, and a bath-room supplied with all modern conveniences. The attio will be roomy and will have twin dormer windows anp a triple window in the main front gable. The building will be ia the Queen Anne style of architecture, handsome and conveniently arranged, costing 14,600. Men Who Hart a Town. An exohange pictures oat tho men who hart a town in tho following pointed paragraphs: Who never posh their business. Who distrust publio spirited men. Who . ran down their town to strangers. Who oppose everything that does not originate with them. ..Who wear long faces when strangers speak of locating In a town. Who refuse to subscribe toward tho building of ohurohee and sobools. Who Bad fault with all enterprises with whioh they are not oonneoted. Who oppose every publio enterprise that ia not likely to be of pecuniary benefit to themselves. Who never subscribe, advertise In or in any way patronise their homo paper, and are always ready to And fault with everything it contains. TAKEX AT HIS WOKD. An Onslow Assessor Makes His Mini Take Water. A gentleman returning from Onslow tells us how one of the assessors in that oounty got the beet of his man and brought him to repentvnoe. Mr. A. is known as one of the best oitizens in the county and not a man to swerve from what he oonoeives to be his duty, consequently he was selected by the commissioners as one of tbe as sessors of that county. Mr. B. has a farm previously assessed at $2000. A, comes along for the new assessment. Tbe farm appears to him to be much undervalued and he runs it up to $3000. This very much dis pleases B. and he undertakes to argue why his land should not be raised, telling A. that it was not worth it and that no man would think of giving that sum for it. Besides being a man of reconized judgement, A. is also possessed of some means and consents to relieve B. of his overvauled property at the new rating. B. is also a man of considerable pluck, and with the exoeption of a lit tle quickening in his respiration he cooly announces it a trade, of course hoping to make a back down. But A. was not built that way and he at onoe proceeded to draw up writings of ownership. B's pluck had all busted by this time and he began to plead like a little tin soldier, B. got his farm back but A. is $100 better off. Wonder will Craven bear scrutiny. IRATE COLORED VOTERS. Ex-Senator Bniee's Politieal Mission 1o Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind.. July 15. The colored voters are all stirred up here over the unexpected advent of ex- Senator Bruce, who was sent out by the administration from Washington to find out why there was so much anti Harrison sentiment develoDinar in Indiana. He was here for several days and left last night. The prominent colored men say that his mission was a failure, and some regard it as a very great piece of im pertinenoe. The editor of the Freeman, the colored organ, on being asked if Bruce tried to influence the colored press in behalf of Harrison, said that he could answer that question but would not; but that Bruce 's mission here was in the interest of the administration. The opposition to Harrison, as de veloped in interviews with prominent negro leaders, is startling, and they cry that if he is nominated the colored voters, will not vote for him; that they will simply stay away from the polls. PANIC AT A CIRCUS. A Lion Escapes and (he Crowd Proceed PeU-Mell to Do Likewise. Rock Island, III., July 15. A panio ooourred at yesterday's performance of Forepaugh's circus. There were 6,000 persons in attendance, when a lion in some manner got out of its oage, and the immense crowd rushed for tbe street. Fortunately no one was killed in the wild rush to escape, but several were seriously injured. The lion did not get very far away from bis cage, as the employees easily drove him under his wagon, where he was held by loose pieces or iron renoe untill the crowd could depart.
