Unity is the Thing.

The RECORDER would earnestly
impress upon its readers, and ever
keep before the people Of Durham
the fact that one of the greatest re-
quisites of a highly prosperous town
is unity,
We have had a very practical les
son of this standing together. Dur
ham should encourage and keep in
practice this spirit.
No town can be truly prosperous
whose citizens are not united on
matters affecting its growth and
prosperity. There must be co-op-
Grafton, pulling together Of all,
for the public good. Individual en-
terprise is necessary, but there must
be public spirit along with it-a
desire to help Others while you are
beneftting yourself. We are sure
that every citizen desires to see his
own town making rapid strides in
the line of progress, but many seem
to forget that this can only be done
by working together with one ac-
cord. Nothing more quickly stays
the advance of a place than to have
few influential citizens continually
pulling in the opposite direction
from the others. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the wheels of progress
be thoroughly rubbed with the oil
of harmony to keep them running
along smoothly without breaks oil
jars. Let all hindrance be cast aside
and the people of Durham labor on
diligently, harmoniously and hope.
fully; you will find that all things
will work like a charm.
Let us stand close together fol
our town papers; every industry
every new enterprise; and encourage
and foster every interest. 1t will
make US strong, healthy and 6 ON
more rapidly as a community.

How it Works.

The New York Sun says the ne
gro in that city is retrograding, and
that he is being rapidly rooted out
of and superseded in his avocations
there by white people and China
men. hat paper says: skill and
trustworthiness are the two indis-
pensible qualifications for occupa-
ton Of all sorts. and those must be
attained and cultivated in the first
degree if the negro would stand the
competition that is constantly being
made keener and brought TO high
er standard of required excellence"
As the Lynchburg Advance says,
what will our colored friends in Vir-
ginia-and we will add North Caro-
lima think of this piece Of infor-
nation from their friends at the
North? 1t is all full OF sounl wis
dom. Every individual and race on
the earth must stand upon its own
bottom, and can only expect sue
cess by superior skill and trust
worthiness" regardless Of race or col
or. If the negro does not work up
to proper standard the native and
foreign white elements will come in
and eventually work them all out.
Competition is the life Of trade and
everything all the world over, and
if the negro walters, coaehmen, bar
bers, whitewashers, bricklayers, car
penters and washer women are
crowded out at the North by white
labor, why should the colored race
expect to desire TO rule the superior
race in the South, or to be constant
antagOnism TO them?
The Anglo-Saxon race discovered
and will govern this country as long
as the world stands.

Aerial navigation has long
been fayorite field Of invention and
experiment. The idea Of a balloon
that can be guided through the air,
as boat upon the water, Is fasci-
mating one, and there il no re tson to
assume that it may not some day be
realized. In the last few years there
has been a revived interest in the
subject and every now and then the
newspapers record some fresh ex-
pertinent. The latest Of these was
made on Saturda on Coney Island
with an air ship designed BY Peter
c. Campbell, Of New York, and OPP
Grated by an aerOnaut named Allen,

1t must be that Mr.. Blaine is

The news comes to us of a
terrible state of affairs in Birming-

HARRISON, OF INDIANA.

Very few candidates for the presi-
dency will go to the national republi-
can convention with as strong a fol-
lowing, or accompanied by as many
favorable attending circumstances, of
locality, character and record, as GEN
ERAL BANJAMIN HARRISON.
GENERAL HARRISON has been tor
years the acknowledged leader
of the republican party Of In
diana. The republicans of that
great state seem to know no other
leader. For years he has borne the
brunt of their battles, and his victories
over the democracy are among the
most remarkable achievements of mod
ern politics. In the United States
senate he has made record which en-
titles him to leading position among
the statesmen of the country. The
great fgh, made by him in that body
for the rights of the territories, secured
for him the gratitude of all men who
love local self government.
The recent action of the Indiana state
convention in recommending HARRI-
SON to the country, and instructing for
him coupled with the fact the delega-
tions from Nebraska and Kansas are
supposed to be favorable to him and
the fact that he is said to be the Sec
ond choice OF Iowa, Michigan and
OHIO, makes his position as candi-
date before the convention Il strong
one. There exists, to certain extent,
feeling in the republican party that
the candidate of the party should
come either from New York or Indi-
ana. So far the only man who has
demonstrated by results that he is the
choice OF Indiana republicans, is GEN
ERAL HARRISON.
The republicans of that state say
that he can carry Indiana and they
have put the stamp of their approval
on his candidacy. The REVIEW has no
candidate, as has been repeatedly said
in these columns. but it would not feel
deeply afflicted by the nomination Of
this prominent soldier, statesman and
republican.

EVAN LEWIS threw JACK WANNoP
three straight falls, in wrestling
match, on Monday at Chicago, for
"the championship of the world"
There would be nothing in that, but
for the fact that LEWIS is an American

that circumstance, some people will
derive considerable satisfaction. We

SENATOR HoAR opposes the Chinese
treaty because it excludes Chinese
ministers OF the gospel from the coun-
try. IL these preachers could be con-
fined to the conversion Of Mr.. HoAR
to realizing sense of his own short
comings, we do not know but what We
would be willing to let one or two OF
them in. Mr.. HoAR also appeals
"from the country drunk to the coun-
try sober" on the Chinese question.
So do we. When the country gets
sober on this question, the Chinese
will go.

ONWARD.

Every step must be n forward
movement in the work of building up
Our city. There is much already ac-
complished, but much remains to be
done. Two more years, put in by our
citizens like the past two have been,
and Spokane will leave Portland be-
hind. The outlook to-day is crafty
ing in the extreme. A man can in
vest every dollar that he possesses in
Spokane property or business with
the certainty of realizing handsomely.
We have the finest natural town site
in the world and we are covering it
with a city that IN the near future
will be without rival in the Pacific
northwest. There is no other city
where there is so much to encourage,
so much to inspire men of capital
and men without capital to expect
great returns from their money
and their labor.

THE struggle between the aristocra-

THE Oregonian in an article on the
migratory movement notes the fact
that "from France and the south of
Europe our country has never received
considerable accessions 10 it's popula-
tion," and "that most of the perma-
nent emigration from Italy appears to
be directed to South America" The
governing principle in this matter
seems to be, that people emigrate along
the same isothermal line. The warm
races of the south OF Europe endeavor
to discover climate similar to their
own, when contemplating change of
habitation. The German, Irish and
Scandinavian find in America a SINH
lar or milder climate than at home. and
hence come here in great numbers.
Even these have been attracted here
to a large degree by the fact, that free
lands are offered them by our govern
ment. If slavery had never existed at
the south, it is safe to say that immi
grafton OF the Latin races to that sec.
ton would have begun in the early
part OF the century and continued un-
ill to-day.

CAN ADA.


II is Il question whether the Cana
dians are favorable to annexation to
this country. Our northern nei Z shbors
have pretty soft thing of it. They
pay no taxes to the British government
and are only required, in case OF war,
to furnish one regiment to the British
army. They are under the powerful
protection Of the English government,
which is no small thing of itself, while
they enjoy local home rule to the ut
most extent. LoRNE liked the country
very much, when over as governor
general, but his wife, who is the daugh-
ter of VICTORIA, did not like it 80 we'll.
The reason for this was, that when in
Canada, she was simply the wife of the
governor general, and had to give way
to the English nobility, while at home
she is princess OF the royal family
and takes precedence as such, not only
of the nobility, bat of her husband as
we'll. Canada is a charming country,
and when it gets ready to enjoy "the
blessings of liberty" the doors are
open.

The influence of climate is very
great on the human race. AS rule
northern races are harder workers
than southern, not because the north.
ern man either by inclination or ma
ture likes work, but because it is cold
and he has to do something to keep
warm, and it is just as easy to keep
warm by showing jack plane at two
dollars day as it is to run around and
do nothing. The problem Of north
ern races is how to conquer cold, and
this they have done by work and turs
and fires. At the south the problem
is how to conquer heat, and this those
people have done by sitting on the
back gallery eating watermellons
and drinking mint julips.
