extravagant appropriations voted
by the Congress can
make it so, and it would be actually
so to-day if all of the

influence overboard, and boldly

promised to assist in the looting

had agreed upon for the purpose of
confronting the Democratic Con-
with a deficiency. Old
claims that had been refused a
hundred times were tacked on the
appropriation bills, and railroaded
through, extra salaries were voted
to who are already paid
beyond their deserts, and money
was scattered around in every

overflowing with a surplus, as it
was two years ago when turned

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11th, 1801.
Adjournment of Congress.
Congress seems to have
ed in somewhat a pow-wow. Mr.
forward a
of thanks to Speaker Reed
for his and impartial
which was passed by a
strict party vote, all the Demo-
voting against it. This was
the first time since days of
James K. Polk that Congress has
failed unanimously to thank their
Speaker. If Mr. Reed had any
sense of decency about him, it
would be a stunning blow to him.
But he seems to have lost all
for himself or any body else,
and therefore it is hardly probable
that he cares anything about it.
We hope such a thing never
occur again in our country, and
we think it never will unless by
misfortune Mr. Reed gets back
into the Speakers chair.
The Republican members kind-
forgot themselves and began
singing through
when they should have sung
Marching Home to come back no
more, as a large majority of them
have passed days as Con-
Last summer when the Demo-
left the hall in order to break
a quorum, the Republicans had a
photograph taken and circulated
through the country with the
Democratic seats empty. The
people thought this should not be
so, and at the last election they
calculated they would fill the seats
and now those seats will be full,
and still they will have a few left
to spare the Republicans, as that
side will not have enough of their
own to make a decent show.
The Republicans tried to vote
themselves in power forever, but
the people voted them out before
they could so. Granny Blair
said he wanted bayonet behind
every ballot, but he will get Dem-
behind them, and
make him run more quickly than
bayonets, although he has no
special bravery in
time of war. . . . .
The Democrats recognizing that
the great danger which had threat-
them for two years was over
very appropriately sung
God from whom all blessings
The people in the galleries
took up the song and completely
drowned the singing, of the Re-
publicans, showing that they as
well as Democratic Congressmen
recognized from whence blessings
and dangers come.
The was the largest
Congress we have ever had, and it
did almost except increase
taxes and deplete the treasury.
The next Congress will have a
difficult task to regulate matters,
will this be so when
they have little mule-headed
Benny in the White House to
contend with.
In the Senate things a lit-
better. It thanked Mr. Morton
unanimously for his rulings, and
the resolution was brought for-
ward by our own Democratic Sen-
Ransom. The Senate is the
conservative body of our country.
We hope it will never turn to such
a body as the. last House was,
although it tried to be made
such for a partisan purpose.
In the Lenoir Topic there re-
appeared an article on
forming a separate State out of
Western North Carolina with
as the capital. In last
week's issue there was a
from Pennsylvania on the
same subject. They seem to
think it possible that a new State
may be formed out of part of
North Carolina, add rather seem
to
We know that North
Carolina is one and indissoluble.
The people of North Carolina
are bound together by ties that
cannot be broken by mere per-
or political purposes. It
would not wise nor prudent to
attempt such a thing. It may be
that such be the case at some
future day. put not in our days nor
as soon even as the days of our
grandchildren.

The Legislature selected as
Railroad Commissioner Maj. J.
W. Wilson, of Mr. E.
C. of Wake county
and Capt. Thomas W. Mason of
Jackson, N. C. We are not per-
acquainted with the gen-
but from what has been
said of them by the press, it is
probable that no better selection
could have been made. These are
gentlemen of the highest
and integrity, and reflect
honor on their State. One is
from the east, one from the mid-
and one from the west.
Mr. was the one
who introduced the railroad com-
mission bill which was defeated
two years ago in the legislature.
We would suggest to
i hat be might add a new
to his show,
which is now in Europe, by employ-
the of Congress to
repeat daily, for the edification of
the adherents of the
the
which they have enacted so often
during the of the
Fifty-first Congress. The ex-
would not be great, as most
of the repudiated politicians would
be glad to go for their expenses,
order to avoid having to return to
their constituents before time shall
have kindly glossed over some
their most misdeeds.
Cotton is still low, and it is very
probable that it will remain so for
some time yet, at least until the
present crop is sold.
The proper thing for our far-
to do is to raise less cotton
and more wheat, corn, pork, beef
and other necessaries of life,
when they can be hero
cheaper than they can bought.
North Carolina is a good grain
State, and would be better off
if we should raise a greater variety
of crops, and thus do away with
so many mortgages. Economy
and industry the things to be
used by our people.
Mr. says the verdict
last election was not based on
the public legislation of last
It seems that he is trying
to palm off the defeat on the
President, but it is very probable
that he told the truth instead of a
joke. The tariff law and pension
acts were more of private than
public legislation. It was this
private legislation that beat them.
There is more truth than joke
his saying.
The anti-free coinage element
seems very fond of saying the
dollar is worth but eighty
cents. Tho Birmingham Age
advertises to give ninety
five cents each for them as many
as will bring. We can find
use for several and we make
the same offer. Te gold bugs
bring them, and you will get gold
for them.
Somebody said that Mr. Harri-
son's selection of Foster,
of Ohio, to be Secretary of the
Treasury, indicated the adoption by
tho administration of a new South-
policy. If one may judge by
the nomination of the disreputable
Hill, to be postmaster
at Miss., the new policy
is a shade or two blacker than the
old one.
The death of Senator Hearst was
a double misfortune to the
try and the democratic party. The
party loses the services of an
level headed Senator, and owing to
the Governor of California being a
republican, that party will gain the
vote of his successor for the
term, which ends March 3rd,
1893.
No wonder Quay got disgusted
with his republican colleagues and
wont fishing. The beginning
the republican Congress was bad
enough, bat the ending was
Well, the people will see that the
country isn't burdened with an-
other Boon.
The fifty-first Congress found a
surplus in the Treas-
In place of that surplus we
now have a hole in the ground and

the plundering rads in it.

But we know it to be a first-class standard fertilizer, as we have

Association.
meeting of the Association in
Greenville last Saturday was attend-
ed by a large number citizens of
the and county, but the
dance of teachers was small.
A very pleasing was
presented which was interspersed
with delightful singing by the
ard Oil Company who very kindly
lent aid lo the occasion.
Miss Carrie Latham rendered an
exceptionally good recitation. She
possesses rare talent for elocution and
received praise and applause
on this occasion.
Ex-Gov. Jarvis delivered one of
his usual able and thoughtful speech-
es for the cause of education. It is
well known that be is an earnest ad-
of higher and better
and he wants to see in
to raise enough money to
cure longer public school terms. He
commended the Legislature for some
of important work it had done,
especially for establishing the Indus-
trial school far but thought
had acted unwisely in not in-
creasing the tax for public school
purposes. He said when the bill
up one the Representatives from
this county, while favoring the bill
personally, voted against it and gave
as bis reason that the tax payers of
Pitt count-, did not want the in-
crease. Gov. Jarvis said he hoped
our Representative mistaken, but
if such a sentiment did exist in the
county he wanted the teachers to
interest themselves see that it
is corrected by the next Legislature.
He believed the hope of the
try is its schools.
This address followed with a
recitation by Miss Sheppard. It
is useless to say how well it was
rendered for our people already
know the remarkable talent for
with which she is gifted.
Prof. W. J. Mathews, Principal of
the Male Academy, read an essay
upon the difference in education in
the Eastern and Western portions
of our State in which he showed that
the Western counties were far out-
stripping in education Interest
Rev, D. Hunter arose and re-
to the speech of Got- Jarvis
and what said of the opinion
expressed by our Representative,
suggested that the sense of
meeting he taken to see if
expressed would uphold a
statement. Prof. John Duckett, who
was President of the meeting, re-
marked that was not one of our
Representatives alone but both of
them had similarly expressed them-
selves in regard to the sentiment in
Pitt county against higher taxation
for public schools. sense the
meeting was not taken.
The very much regrets
it is there is a
in Pitt county, but believe
our Representatives spoke, only too
true they it existed, It is
a sentiment that needs correction,
and needs it badly.

Some fifty years before there had
been a quarrel in one branch of the
Royal family over tho disposition of
property vested in northern
ties. Tho family consisted of two broth-
and a sister, and tho property be-
longed to a maiden aunt who made her
home with them. Tho mint's affections
seemed pretty equally divided be-
tween nephews and niece, and without
overt declaration to that effect on her
part, tho family feeling had been that
the young people share and share
alike in the property. When,
on tho old lady's death it had been dis-
covered that the entire estate had been
willed to the niece without reservation,
the nephews not unnaturally suspected,
and what is more, being men of choleric
temper, proclaimed aloud that there had
been undue influence.
It is true that, while tho men disported
themselves according to their pleasure,
the woman had nursed and tended her
relative with loving care and patience.

of duty and of moral obligation as

and, time went on, her views
became more and more unpractical,
conservative and romantic. She was a
woman of sturdy will and domineering
spirit, and, while kind of heart
prune to let that kindness flow
only along channels of her own making.
Her northern property, safely invested
and well cared for, suffered no change
by the chances of war. and gave her, in
her own eyes and those of other people,
a fictitious but readily admitted value.
Whether her conscience smote her
about the money or not, the family feel-
so strong in the south, in
spite of wrong and insult, and when the
war brought troubles and financial straits
to the brothers the sister rallied to them,
helping them through many a tight
place, only stipulating that she
should have her own way in regard to
time and method. Her influence in her
family increased in ratio proportionate
to her ability to play Providence to them,
and playing the
procession for other people in accord-
with her own ideas of that which
would best was. as has been stated,

considered herself peculiarly adapted.

She also displayed vivid interest in the

but also because he had been called

whoso untimely death had caused her to
pass through life. She boil the
boy with her continually, and charged
herself with his education and establish-
in a profession. That the idea of
a marriage between the cousins
develop in her mind was only to be ex-
Consanguinity was not
an objection to marriage in the
of her day, and she had
plated a union for herself. This
nephew and niece formed her strongest
outlet, and she will-
to let their lives diverge from here
or from each other's. She wanted to
blend her past with their so that,
in some way, they might live out
the life she had pictured for herself ere
John Hart had passed into the infinite.
Her motive tho highest of which
she was capable. yearned for hap-
for them, it never occurred
to her that it could lie secured in
ways than those of her own devising.
Her idiosyncrasy is not remarkable.
Human love in its manifestations is apt
to lie compelling and coercive.
Matters went smoothly, for the boy's
choice of a profession fell in with her
wishes for him. There hod always been
physicians in the Royal
distinguished ones. The love of healing
might be said to run in the blood.
At John Royal re-
turned from Philadelphia with his dip-
in his pocket, and further fulfilled
his destiny by falling in love with his
cousin Phyllis, then a girl of A boy-
and-girl marriage was no part of Miss
Royal's plan for the young people. She
wanted John to a distinguished
surgeon, and as his whole heart, or
rather mind, was set on his profession,
yielded readily to his wish for a few
years in the Vienna and Paris hospitals.
An engagement between the cousins was
sanctioned, the understanding was
that tho marriage should take place as
soon as. in her aunt's opinion, Phyllis
should be old enough.
Of the reasons for six delay of
his marriage, and of his residence during
that abroad, John Royal did not
speak; they were not germane to the
matter in hand. wish was to
sent the main facts of tho case and to
force upon his listener the necessity for
immediate action.
At the end of the years news had
come of his aunt's sudden death, and
with it a letter from her executor in-
forming of tho terms of her will.
These were a little singular, and more
than a arbitrary, which, however,
was in accordance with tho character of
the testatrix. Tho property, of
value and duly enumerated, with
the exception of a small legacy or two,
was left absolutely to John Hart Royal
and Phyllis Royal as a marriage gift, pro-
their marriage to each other should
take place between tho hours of and
o'clock on Dec. In the event of
the not taking place on the day
and during tho appointed,
were restrictions laid upon the property
which would prove serious annoyance
to tho legatees; and in the further event
of the marriage not taking place at all,
the entire property was to lie converted
into money and divided, share and share
alike, among her kindred of Royal blood
from tho first to the third degree, Phyllis
and John to have an equal portion with
the rest, not a more on behalf
of nearer kinship.
Tho story was given in short sentences,
with rents to spare the patient's
strength. The energetic brain of the
listener grasped the situation in its
and his sympathies were more
than ever moused. To him it appeared
a terribly advantage to take of the
power which the possession of wealth
confers. His first restive impulse was to
say, the money go to the devil,
and marry tho young lady to suit your-
but a glance the face before
him sent back tho words unspoken. A
well man, hale strong, afford
to assert his independence, to take his
own a-d that of another into his
own hands. But when a man lay dying
the case was different; he must do that
which he could, not that which he
would, to secure the future of tho
an thrown so absolutely upon his honor
and protection. Royal's pity for tho pair
grew and he felt that there was
not much ho would stick at to
misery entailed by that In-
as ho styled it in his
thought.

He was a man quick to trust his own

habitually along positive lines. To rush
at a difficulty and carry it by assault

of the frontier had fostered his
