The University of North Carolina
never did a more graceful and de-
served act than when it conferred the
degree of Ii. D. upon Mr.. T. B.
kingsbury, the scholarly and accom-
plished editor of the Wilmington Star.
The GOLD LEAF apprehends that in
many instances the comforting of de
grees of this kind are but empty hon
ors-because they are bestowed IN
worthily-but in this case the Univer-
sity did most proper thing when it
recognized the high scholarly attain
ments, the worth and ability, of Mr..
Theodore Bryant Kingsbury, in the
manner in which it did. AS the .Statt.
Chronicle says: seas literary critic
and as an accurate scholar Mr.. Kings
bury has for years stood at the head
of the North Carolina press. He does
more literary work than any man IN
North Carolina, and does it all we'll.
He has won his position in the world
of letters by untiring study. He is the
most accurate and able of North Car
DINA editors, and the degree conferred
upon him is an honor which the State
press will appreciate"

In WHAT striking contrast politi-
cally do we find Georgia's two ia
nous preachers, Jones and Small
The former is a staunch Democrat
content with preaching and voting for
other good men for political prefer
ment, while the latter is a rank pro-
hibitionist-a blatant third party man
itching for office and some body to
vote for him. The rantankerous dem
agosuery of Small as exhibited recent
ly in the prohibition convention at
Greensboro, is not much in harmony
with the sentiments and expressions Of
his distinguished confrere of the pull
pit whose style and manner in matters
not political he so studiously tries to
initiate. In a lecture delivered in
Nashville, Tenn, few days ago, Sam
Jones said this according to the
american of that city:
awe need grit in the Democratic
party. l admire Grover Cleveland
for that. A gamer man than he never
presided over the United States, and
Grover Cleveland can get my vote for
president every four years. because he
has got a backbone as big as a cir
Gus pole" .'

A. M. Scales, Hon. Daniel G. Fowle,

Mr.. Henry's speech:
Mr.. Busbee introduced w. R. Hen

spoke with much power and enthusi-
asm and was at times beautifully elo-
quent. Mr.. Henry is an orator OF

THE Wilson mirror, thus speaks of

THE Wilson MIrroy, thus speaks OF
Mai. Charles N. Stedman, our gallant
Lieutenant Governor, who has many
warm and true friends in this, as well
as in all other sections of the State,
and WHO were anxious to see him made
or standard bearer this year:
"The gallant and chivalrous and
knightly Stedman, though forced to
wear for time the thorn studded
aureole of defeat, has woven for HIM
self garland of admiration that will
be kept fresh and fragrant and beauti-
full as long as nobility hath a shrine
and a votary. Loved as he was in the
brigh. sunshine of the golden promises
of victory he is almost adored now, as
he stands in the shadow of defeat, and
disporting, though now uncrowned,
the regal majesty of kingliest nobility,
and wearing the royal robes Of the
grandest manly department"
The GOLD LEAF hopes to see Maj.
Stedman yet occupying some high OF
fee commensurate with his splendid
abilities and great deserts. BY the
wav, we note that the Kernersville
NezUs says there is a growing sentl.
nent in favor of Charles NJ. Stedmar
as our next United States Senator.

Surely no one can claim that the
lawyers are to get all the offices in the
State this year, Of the ticket nomi-
mated by the Democrats, the only
lawyer, excepting, of course, the can
dIdates for Acknowledgement and Jus
tees of the Supreme Court, is the can
didate for Governor. Holt was a
manufacturer and farmer; Saunders
was journalist Balm was practical
business man Sanderlin wasa farmer;
and Finger was school teacher and
farmer. That is good enough tick
ct for any man to support with all
Cheerfulness and to the full extent of
his strength and order.

The North Carolina Press Assocla-
ton meets at good time-July 18th
and a good place-Morehead City.
1t is expected that there will be large
attendance. The GOLD LEAF hopes
every member will be present-in-
deed, it would like to see every edit
tor in the State there-each man i'm
bued with the idea of doing something
for the good OF the profession. The
"pic-nic" feature of our annual meet
ings is all we'll enough in itself; we
need rest and recreation and the
meeting together for an interchange
of ideas bro~dens ones views and gives
him: a better understanding and a
more exalted opinion of himself and
his calling perhaps, but the prime OBJ
ject should be to elevate the profession
of journalism and to benefit the pub
fishers financially. This can be done
by united effort on the part Of the
newspaper publishers themselves and
g:
it was with this object in view we sup
pose that the North Carolina Press
Association was formed. Let us then
endeavor to carry out this idea more
fully in the future than we have done
in the past. The Association can
make its influence felt Tor good to its
members if they but SO say.

The Asheville Sun says it is not the
croaker who builds up the community
and creates booms. 1t is the general
business man, full of snap, energy and

time, that puts in the solid substantial
work. They do not wait for some one
else to do the booming while they take

ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFoRE THE CON-
vening Of Congress number of the leading
Democrats of the country assembled in
Washington, and along with the president,
agreed upon plan of revenue reform, that
embraced reductions on all articles that i'm
mediately affect the living of the poor.
Congress has been in session almost two
months and up to date no such bill bearing
legitimately on revenue reform has been
presented. The question now arises, what
has become of it? The effect upon trade is
deleterious, the constant agitation of SO
important subject is dsadening to COM
mercial ACTIVITY; business men are placed
In feverish suspense and generally the
masses become the sufferers of obstinate
hesitancy on the part of congressional
representatives. A careful and systematic
reform of the tariff, and reduction or re-
moval of internal revenues would at once
reduce the surplus; the business interests
Of the country would be inyigorated and a
healthy activity take the place of the fever
ish suspense that now controls the work
ings Of the business interests of the entire
country. Let the tariff rates be reformed.

THE NEW YORK Star OF A LATE DATE
in arguing the point of what really consti-
tutes the raw materials says:
".When we get more deeply into the COM
plexlties Of manufacturing, the trouble be-
gins. Here at once the conflict Of views
and interests becomes hopeless, irreconcll-
able. One factory supplies the raw mater
ial Of another. The tanner furnishes the
raw material for the sadder and shoemak-
er. The yarn mills supply the cotton and
woolen mills. The manufacturer of iron
supplies the manufacturer Of steel with
raw material, and the latter supplies the
cutter, the machinist and a dozen other
great branches ofmanufacturing. So one
could 60 on citing examples without limit,
showing that raw material" includes two
thirds in volume and value of all the articles
manufactured. Each manufacturer, while
anxious for the highest duty on his own
special product, is no less eager for the re-
duction or removal of duty from the mater
ials which enter into It. The manufactur-
er Of steel car wheels would like to exclude
Krupp's wheels, for example, from the
market, but he would like no less well to
buy Krupp's blooms duty off. Following
this out in all its details, we find that every
tariff scheme must of necessity be one OF
colossal selfshness. Manufacturers have

himself with the reflection that while his
account at the Brooklyn Savings Bank may
be depleted several dollars, his hunting out
of the grand old Methodist church a spiri-
tual wolf, in metaphorcal sleeps clothing,
has deposited for him treasures in that bank
where the moth doth not costume nor
thieves break in and steal.
1t is not safe for any mao to make love to
two sisters at the same time, and that Mr..
Willis, talented lawyer Of Brooklyn. has
a breach of promise suit for $4,000, and as
vet only one of the sisters has put in a
claim, and as 1t is morally certain that he
can only legally marry one of them, what
the other will demand is yet an unknown
quantity.
There were two lovely sisters, Millie and
Tillie, at rural watering place In Penn
sylvania. The darlings had passed the
callow age which marks immaturty and
inexperience; one being thirty-siX and the
other thirty-seven. The waist belt of one
was thirty-nine and three-quarter inches,
and the other recorded forty-two and a
half Mr.. Willis took moonlight walks
with both; he sang duets with each, and
whatever his intentions were to Millie there
| is now no mistake that Tillie thought they
were ~ for her. If he wrote TO Tillle, by
some evil mischance Mile got the letter,
and wnen he indited a loving epistle to
Milie IL invariably fell into Titles hands.
In one of his imatory messages he calls
her his "sweet little birdle." Now, that
might be all very well to girl just out OF
her teens, but to a woman of forty who
tips the scale at a trne over two hundred,
it's an awfully strained figure Of speech,
To Mllie he writes my gentle little duck
and it never seems to have occurred to him
that he was making himself goose. II
Millie gets $4,000, which hope she will
as balm for her wounded heart, l hope
Tilie will go in at least for 100000, and
thus teach this inscriptions lawyer that
he cannot with impunty toy with a young
maiden's affections if she is thirty-eight OIL
even forty. Sweet little brides don't fly
on every huckleberry bush, and darling
buckles don't swim in every fellows duck
pond. The next time Mr.. Willis goes gun
ming for that kind of game he will know
better than to try and bring down two at &
time.
