BRIGHTENING SKIES.
The reports from all parts of
the State touching the condition
of political affairs fire cheering.
Chairman Simmons says the
Democratic party is in better
shape than it was at this time in
1892- We have lately met gen-
from every section of the
State and the news they give is
the Populist party is
not dissatisfied Demo-
are becoming better
and there is an awakening
all along the line.
It is a good time now, while the
blood is cool, for me -i to look at
facts as they are and to consider
the probable advantage of a
change of administration in either
Nation or State. It is quite true
that the national Democratic ad
ministration has not been able
to checK the panic, with its
loss in values, which began
in the winter of 1890-91,
from the consequences of which,
though it has passed the acute
stage, the country continues to
suffer. It needs, however, to be
borne constantly in mind that this
panic began under a Republican
administration, that the Treasury
was depleted under a Republican
administration, and that the last
recommendation to Congress of
the last Republican Secretary of
the Treasury was that authority
be given him to issue gold bonds.
This was not given and the bonds
were not issued for the reason
that it was desired to shoulder
this load off on the Democratic
party, which had at that time
been voted into power but had
not taken possession, and make
it bear the odium of it- It is true
as we have said, that the Dem-
party has not been able
to raise prices again. It is also
true that Congress and the
dent have brought disappoint-
to the people in more mat-
than one. Bat what have
they to hope from the Republican
party and why should they want
it in power Surely we
have had enough of Republican-
ism to last a life-time, and the
choice, when we come to select a
governing power, lies between
these two Democrat
and the Republican- Besides
all this, Congress is still in
; its work is not yet before
the country ; we may in reason
hope that when it is, affairs will
take on a different aspect.
As to our State matters, there
is no room for argument The
solid white men of the State,
country and town, the tax-pay-
already have them in hand
and there is no re. why they
should surrender control. We
could not have better government
in the State and counties than we
now have, or if we could the
Democratic party is the one to
make the improvement. Certainly
no other party could improve I
upon ft. The sway of
in North Carolina is not
a fragrant memory; Populism
has brought nothing but trouble
to the States which have toyed
with it i and there is no ground
for the expectation that this
combination would bring us any-
thing but misery.
The interest of the people is
plain. They have but to meet
together this year, as heretofore,
in their primary and higher con-
and nominate for office
the men of their choice, and then
them- The Democratic
party has shown its capacity to
North Carolina and no
other ever has. It has the
confidence of the people because
it deserves to have it, and it has
but to pursue its usual policy
of nominating good and

HABITS OF PRESIDENTS.
The Ton of Life at the White House
Differ With Us Various Occupants.
General Grant brought
camp into the White House.
Mr. Hayes had lived in Wash-
as a representative at a
hotel or a boarding-house.
General Garfield had settled in
the capital in a house of his own,
and had enjoyed the kind of
social life that may be had any-
where in this country, and that
runs to literary clubs that are
formed to facilitate the escape of
unpublished manuscripts. To
encourage talent and literary am-
was a great of
the President, whose murder cut
short the that would have
been marked by more geniality
and agreeable talk than is usual
at the White House.
Mr. Arthur brought city
toms manners with him.
People who did not know him
were greatly mistaken in him.
There had been a good deal of
refinement and elegance in Mr.
Arthur's home, and its influence
made the White House more of
a social than it had been
before or than it has been since.
Then came Mr. Harrison, who
had passed six years in the Sen
ate and a Washington boarding-
house, and Mr- Cleveland, who
went to the Capitol a bachelor,
having lived most of his life in
in a Buffalo business
block.
None of these men adopted the
manners and customs of court
lite, with the exception of Mr.
Arthur, who insisted that those
with whom he came in contact
should pay his office a respect
something more than the formal
decent respect of good manners.
The rest knew nothing of the
rules which Washington society
had laid down for its own and
their guidance, and which were
as conflicting as the various inter-
that invented and frequently
modified them- Moreover, they
have seemed to care a good deal
less. They or their wives or
their secretaries studied up the
necessary regulations that govern
the intercourse between the head
of the nation and the diplomatic
representative of foreign powers-
And although Mr- Jefferson in-

of her husband's rank, modern
Presidents have done their best

GOVERNOR JARVIS MAKES HIS
MARK.
Washington, July 2-If the
Senate ever decides to break
away from the ancient rules
which now prevail in that body
and adopt closure Senator Jarvis
is the man to place in tho
officer's chair. This afternoon
the new Senator from North
Carolina gave his Senatorial as
a sample of what a firm
and determined presiding officer
can do, even under the existing
rules.
The proposition to abrogate
the treaty was pending.
The Democratic managers of the
bill were restless at the slow

because several Republican Sen-

other Republicans were
equally astonished at the rapidity
of the ruling of the acting
dent of the Senate, and even the
Democrats could hardly realize
what had occurred. Finally Sen-
Hoar, who had regained his
breath, but lost his temper, in a
voice quivering with suppressed
rage, took exception to the ruling
of the chairman and appealed
from his decision.
Senator Jarvis, with equal
quickness, decided that a motion
on the table took precedence
over a motion to postpone. Sen-
Hoar differed with the pres-
siding officer on that point also,
and demanded the reading of the
rule on the subject- The

found that the Chair had ruled

glad to note this evidence of

Durham is said to be a
town now. All liquor licenses
expired on the 30th of June and
the Board of County Commission-
refused to renew them be-
cause the saloon-keepers had
been convicted of selling to
minors, in consequence of which
the had to close. If this
ruin had applied in Pitt county
there would have been some closed
bar rooms in to-day.
It ought to be the that when
a saloon keeper

is licensed and is convicted
for, it should a barrier to bid be-
considered a competent man
to have a license.
The Tariff bill passed the Sen-1
ate on Tuesday of last week by a
vote of to Senator Hill
was the only Democrat who voted
against the bill. The Senate also
appointed a conference committee
and requested the House to do
likewise to which the bill shall
be referred for a final adjustment
of the differences between them,
and as soon as this is done, which
is expected to require only a few
days, the measure will be ratified
by the House and Senate
and go to the President for
In only a short while now
the bill will go into effect and its
beneficial influences will be felt
throughout the country.
During the past week all other
topics have been overshadowed
by interest in the great that
has prevailed in Chicago and the
west, the influence of which has
been felt to more or less extent
throughout the entire country.
The strike first started with the
operatives of the Pullman com-
and through sympathy with
these the American Railway
Union took it up and instituted a
boycott against all the western
railroads that carried Pullman
cars and a general strike followed.
Tho men refused to handle trains
that carried Pullman cars and
would not others willing to
work to take their places, thus
putting a to the passage of
mails and blocking passenger and
freight traffic. The strikers failing
to carry their point, the rail-
roads refusing to yield to them,
they gathered great riotous
mobs and set to work burning
property, committing murder and
other acts of lawlessness, setting
at defiance law and order.
Gov. of Illinois, being
himself a sympathizer with an-
took; but little interest in
quelling such disturbances, and
the he did
make for efforts in that direction
proved so inadequate to the needs
of such an occasion of disorder
and riot tho United States
government was appealed to.
President Cleveland called his
Cabinet together to consult over
tho situation and in order prevent
tho stoppage of mails and tho in-
inter-State com
ordered U S- troops to
Chicago to suppress the troubles.
Alt geld exceptions at this
and raised objection to the gov-
troops into his
State, but he found that
dent Cleveland was a little bigger
man than himself, and that
his objections it was within
the province of the government
to do just what the President had
ordered done.
The extent of the damage done
by the strikers and rioters is
palling, and the daily papers have
been filled with long accounts of
the outrages. Thousands o
freight cars and much other
property was destroyed, entailing
a loss of millions of dollars, to say
nothing of the losses arising from
tho interruption of business and
the shutting down of many in-
That such a and its
riots and outrages has
is really deplorable, and
the sooner those engaged in it
are made to realize there are
laws in this government which
must be respected, the better it
will be for the whole country.
At last accounts the soldiers
had fired several volleys into the
mobs, killing some of them, and
natters becoming more
and orderly.

Pitt Female Seminary,
Prof. B. E. Goode, Principal
of Pitt Female Seminary,
has issued his prospectus for the
fall session to open September
5th. His assistants are Mrs.
Goode, Miss Lettie and
Miss Bettie Warren. The pros-
contains a number of the
very strongest testimonials of the
of the ability of Prof. Goode and
each of the assistants. We are
also glad to note the improve-
that he is making in the
college property. The grounds
have been enclosed and he is
having the building repainted in-
side and out, adding very much
to the appearance. These
the earnestness
with which he has entered into
the preparation for the opening
of the Seminary, are viewed with
a great deal satisfaction by our
people, for they see in Prof.
Goode a man of such ability, en-
and perseverance as will
be sure to make his school a
Base Ball.
The first game of ball played
in Greenville this season was be
tween the Greenville and Kinston
clubs last Wednesday afternoon.
The playing was ordinary and
both sides made many errors, the
score resulting in in favor
of Greenville. The Kinston boys
were well entertained and had a
pleasant day here. We hope the
clever young gentlemen will come
over again.
The Greenville boys went up to
Halifax last Friday to play a
game of ball with the club of
that town. Our boys got beaten
badly, the score being to in
favor of Halifax, but they came
back home feeling that they had
done well to make even two runs,
considering that the Halifax team
was largely made up of players
from the college teams of Wake
Forest, Chapel Hill- Trinity and
Oak Ridge. There were bets be-
fore the game that
would not make a run, but the
scores by Dancy and Erwin
showed better. If the Greenville
boys are going out to play they
ought to practice some together.

Like everything else farming to
be made profitable must be made
systematic. Because some few
farmers have made comparative
success or rather made money
farming on a haphazard, half-
system it is no argument
against systematic and scientific
fanning. You frequently hear a
man say that education is of no
service to a farmer, that his
brother John or some one
else has made a success in life
without an education and it is
equally probable that the balance
of humanity can do likewise, that
Mr. A or Mr. B has a fine
and at farming he is a gloomy
failure- These arguments are of-
as proof that only the old
time way of farming is the right
way and that scientific agriculture
is bosh, when fact the truth of
the matter is simply The
man who has made a success, not
only at farming, but everything
else without some education is a
fortunate being indeed and is
gifted with many natural talents,
which if he had developed by
training would have made him
a superior man. One of the
strongest evidences and
that can be offered that
education is essential to the high-
est success in any
is the fact that almost with-
out an exception every man that
has gone through life and made
comparative success without an
education are the most
in their advocacy of an education
for their children- These people
