His Faith mistaken.

A gentleman who claims to have
had a conversation with thePresident
says Mr.. Cleveland does not regret
having adopted the policy he did re-
specting the tariff, that he believes
the country will ultimately acceptit
that the election, having been de-
cided by less than $4,000 votes out
of over 1900, 900 voters can hardly
be construed as a distinct reputation
Of that policy. New York is the
greatest manufacturing city in the
United States, and yet the protec-
ton argument had no effect there.
New Jersey is largely dependent up
on her protected manufactures, and
vet she endorsed the Presidents po-
sition. Tie peculiarly Of this late
battle in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, and the West lies in
the fact that the Republican gains
were entirely in the rural districts,
where there were no manufactures to
be affected by the protection cry.
This gentleman adds: "The fact is
demonstrated that the question Of
tariff reform has only just opened
with the people. The President will
again urge it upon Congress, but moi
as a question affecting parties. He
does not believe that il will brine
his party back into power in 1892
for he thinks that the leaders of the
Republican party areshrewd enough
to discover the handwriting on the
wall, and to begin in the FiftY-frst
Congress a gradual reform Of the
tariff that will meet the demands Of
the people half way"

HIS preaching and had heard the gos-
pei expounded as never man spake
before. There had been a great out
pouring Of the spirit. In leaving
this multitude God had permitted q
furious storm to sweep down upon
the ship. It was for the purpose Of
trying their faith.
The application was very forcible.
Mr.. George said the people Of Dur
ham had recently assembled in great
crowds to hear the gospel preached.
The spirit had moved the hearts Of
tie people of this place and there
was a great religious awakening.
Following this was financial dis
aster-a storm which had broken
upon this people as if from a clear
sky. 1t was sent by the Great Ruler
who holds the universe in the hol-
low Of his hand and who controls
finances as we'll as the elements. to
try the faith Of this people. II was
to test the religious faith Of this
people. If they stood 6rmed and
looked up to a Savior who was be-
hind the storm He would bless them
in the end. 10 ye of little faithr'

came panic-stricken and lost heart.

Durham's Pluck.

Towns, like individuals, have their
tides of prosperity and adversely
their ebb and flow: their days of JOY
and their days Of sorrow. smooth

neither do uninterrupted prosperity
and success qualify men for useful
ness and happiness.
The storms of adversely, like those
of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and
excite the invention, prudence, skill
and fortitute of the voyager. The
martyrs Of ancient times, in bracing
their minds to outward calamities,
acquired a loftiness Of purpose and a
moral heroism worth a lifetime of
softness and security.
The financial disaster which have
oyertaken some of Durham's best

Il. J. Parrish, J. w. Blackwell, Muse

Stone, ]. L. Markham,-are the diff
fieulties which rise in the regular
and legitimate channels of business
and enterprise.
The people of Durham believe in
Durham, and they are made of the
material which eonquors the world.
They bear the sharp affections of
life like men, they also feel them
like men. The darker the setting
the brighter the diamond.
A shadow ereeps over the sun

sky for the time being may not be as

worthy Of the Spartans. Just at

Gambling.

OAAmOA1mSs
Police Court reports that there is con-
siderable gambling going on in Homo
lulu, and strange to say it seems to be
nearly all, if not all amongst the Chi
nese; in all other countries, if we are to
believe the newspaper reports, other
people gamble; here it is otherwise and
we ought to be very grateful. Gambling
is a vice that leads to others, and how
ever much or little of it may be done in
what is known as "social play" has
tendency to that which is bad, and
never to that which is good
'Rumor," if she could be believed,
asserts that there is gambling and social
gambling going on in Homo lulu amongst
others than Chinese; carried on in phi
vate houses as we'll as public houses,
and that the police would have no more
if as much trouble to find it as they have
with the Chinese, Some entertain the
idea that the police have no right to
enter private premises-that is family
residences, to look for such. The police,
however, do not think so, for they do
enter a Chinaman's castle day or night
by front door, back door or any other
way, and sometimes find ticket that
has or is supposed to have a gambling
air about it, or find some at a game of
backgammon with "chips'' on the table.
This is called a raid and the Chinaman
and chips are carried off and fined fifteen
dollars or thirty days. This may be &C
cording to law and right, but if so why
overlook other respectable nationalities.
If done as now for the few dollars fine
and the little credit attached to it, would
it not be better and just to fly higher,
get bigger game and bigger credit.
1t seems to me, and [ have reason to
know that it does to many others, that
this idea of bouncing on few poor Chi
nese who are amusing themselves quietly
in their own house should be let alone
unless all are to be served alike. S.

CLAUS SPRECKELS.
A Farewell Reception to the Sugar
King by HIS Employees.
rs. F, Call, Nav 9th.

.
The employees of Claus Spreckels to
the number of 800 and their wives and
friends, last evening rendered him a re-
ceptiOn in honor of his departur eto-mor-
row to his new home at Philadelphia,
where he will superintend the new re-
fnery.
AS Mr.. Spreckels has been in this city
for upward of d quarter of century the
occasion was deemed fitting one by his
employees to signify their high regard
for him. The house of Spreckels en-
ploys in its various enterprises nearly
900 persons, and this number will be
largely increased by their work. at Wat
sonville and Philadelphia For the past
ten days the employees have been
quietly making arrangements for last
nights demonstration. A committee
from the California Refinery was APP
pointed and a series of resolutions
adopted, thanking Mr.. Spreckels for his
stand against the Sugar Trust as taken
in the interest Of. his employees, express
ing esteem and gratitude for his liberal
spirit. kindness and justice, and wishing
him success in his new enterprise.
These were engraved upon a silver plate,
having on the opposite side, mounted in
California laurel wood, an engraving OF
the California Sugar Refinery
a ROYAL WELCOME.
Shortly after o'clock the reception
committee, consisting of f. NJ. Baum
garten, H. u. Howard and Fred Samuels.
drove to the residence of Mr.. SpI eckels
and invited him to the Turn Verein Hall
on Mission street. Up to this time he
was ignorant of what was intended,
although one of his sons had been let
into the secret for the purpose of detain-
ing his father at home. When the part,
arrived at the hall, whieh had been
beautifully decorated, it was met by the
Presidio band, which played "Hail to
the Chief" While Mr.. Spreckels was
escorted to the stage, the entire assem-
blage, including the ladies who thronged
the gallery, stood. The guest of the
evening was accompanied by his three
sons, John D., Adolph and Gus Spreck-
els, who were also seated on the stage
beside their distinguished parent When
the band finished, three round cheers
and tiger were given for Claus Sprck-
els. The meeting was called to order by
C. J. Maurer, chief clerk at the refinery.
Peter Smith, the Superintendent, who
-. h,,o,, -, tho SnroekalS' emDlOV for |
fully twenty-five years, was elected
President of the evening, and briefly
stated the object of the meeting.
