The Value OF the Newspaper.

Perhaps the people of the State never
had better opportunity to appreciate the
place the local newspaper fills in their
homes and.offices and every day affairs of
life, than during Christmas-.week, when
most of the weekly papers suspended"
for one issue in order to give the hard
worked editors and printers brief resting
spell. One never feels the value and i'm
pOrtance of the paper so much as when
it fails to come. And SO it was with
the patrons of the home paper-small and
unpretentious thogh it may be-not so large
or so cheap as the New York weekly OF
course, but worth one hundred times more
to its community-waS not in the office
when called for Christmas week. You
missed it then and its appearance the first
week of the New Year was hailed with
more pleasure and satisfaction perhaps
than at any previous time.
AS the Pittsboro Record says, it is fire.
quently the case, that % subscribers to
newspapers do not PRIZE ito the worth" the
visits Of their papers until one of those
visits is omitted. There is no more well
come or instructive visitors to any house
hold than the family newspaper, and any
man who does not subscribe to good.

only depriving himself of great source
Of pleasure and information, but is doing

influence that few appreciate. Hence the
importance, nay the necessity, of ever,
family being provided with newspaper
that not only entertains but instructs- ont
that inculcates pure morality and dissent
mates useful information. LIN this respect thu
people of North Carolina are fortunate, TO
they are peculiarly favored with this class
OF newspapers. In enterprise, in morals
in the exercise of a~bcneficial influence
upon the public, the newspapers of thi
State compare most favorably with thoS'
of any State in the American Union.

fact fully, and to express their apprecia

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Ifenderson derived
much benefit from individual enterprise
during the year that has just closed. The
varied interests of the town received for
ward movement that showed our people
were not asleep. New enterprises have

more life and business activity among our
people. While our progress has been thus
marked and perceptible it has not beer as

mant capital might have been put in mo-
ton in cur midst, bringing profit to the
owners and pushing forward the wheels OF
progress with accelerated speed. Shall not
the present year bring to our view greater
improvements than the last one did? There
is no good reason why with the causes that
have contributed to our advancement thus
far still operating, and with the addition
of new enterprises inaugurated in our
town, we should not make more rapid adj
vancements on our high road to prosperity

THE FISHERIES TREATY.
The Republicans VIII Cause Continued
Trouble.

WASHINGTON, May "A Herald cores
pendent says: If the Republicans in the
Senate insist upon the rejection of the
fisheries treaty, as is said TO be their intcn-
ton, and IL the Canadians thcreupon con-
tinue ther annoyance Of American fisher
men, there Is likely to he demand for such
n proclamation Of retaliation us the last Con-
grcss authorized.
The act of Congress authorizes the prosi-
dent by proclamation to do any or all Of
several things. lie may deny Canadian
vessels entrance into American ports, either
sea or lake ports; or he may deny entrance
TO Canadian fish, fresh or salt "or any other
product of Canada; or he may include in
the exclusion all goods coming from Canada,
whether her products or not. The act en-
powers him to apply the exclusion to any or
all Of the points named, or 10 qualify and
omit Il as he thinks best; but it really gives
him the power To lay an embargo against
Canada not only in respect g. her products,
but also against the entry Of any goods or
products whatever, from Canada into the
United States.
That is TO say, under the net Of Congress
he may put u stop 10 Canadian railroads
carrying even American products from the
west To eastern scaports. The language OF
the act is that lac may deny entry into any
port or place of the United States Of fresh
or salt fish or any other product Of said Do
minion, or other goods coming from said
Dominion 10 the United States
Thus he may by proclamation stop at
once the large frcighting business Of the
Canadian roads by which thcy carry grain
and other products from Chicago, ST. Louis
and other points In the western United
States through Canada back into the eastern
United States.
As the act gives him the power Of choos-
ing which OF all the exclusions lac shall Ill.
rect, IL is said 10 be his intention, II he finds
II necessary to issue proclamation, To begin
by ordering the exclusion Of "Oll other
goods" That would put a summary stop To
the Canadian railroads and vessels carrying
American grain aud other products from
our western States TO eastern American sea.
ports.
II would be the hardest blow he could
deal, because Il would be dealt not at the
people Of the maritime provinces, who would
like nothing better than to l,e ON good terms
with US, but at the Stockholders OF the Can
adian railroads, who are largely the people
in the Canadian government and in author
ity az Ottawa.
IL Is these who have caused the annoy
ances aud complications, aud there would
be sound justice In making them feel the
consequences in their most sensitive parts
their pockets.
