NOT so "ISoLATED.n

In his address at, the Woodstock,
(Conn.) celebration on the Fourth,
President Harrison said that cit is
not in the power of any people upon
earth much to harm us, except our
own people," This state of affairs
was not credited to conditions about
which we may boast, but to the fact
Providence shas given us such a
location and assignment among the
nations of the earth that no people
of great power touches us on any
SIDE" This isolation from the great
powers may have served very we'll
for security century ago, but in
these days of steel cruisers and long
range guns isolation is practically a
nullity. Providence may have done
very well in placing us originally,
but as Providence is prone to favor
those who bestir themselves in their
own behalf, the United States will
do we'll to continue the strengthen
ing of its navy and the consideration
of coast defences if they wish to
stand in with their original bene-
factor.

THE NEW STATES,

In North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington Terrific
ries constitutional conventions were
held Thursday, which took the first
great step in the completion of the
movement by which they are to be-
come States in the Union. Presi-
dent Cleveland signed on February
22d last the act of Congress provid-
ing for their admission. The con,
stitutions adopted must be submit
ted to the voters of the respective
Territories on the first Tuesday of
next October fol ratification or re-
lection. Should they be ratified the
President will issue proclamation
to that effect, and the admission of
the new States will date from the
time of the issuing of the proclama-
ton. The statutes of the United
States provide that one star shall be
added to the flag for each new State
on the Fourth of July next succeed
ing the date of the admission of the
State to the Union. The four new
stars cannot, therefore, be added
until July Fourth, 1890.

OUR MILITIA ENCAMPMENT.

On Tuesday the Forsyth Rifle
men, our local military company,
left for Wrightsvllle to participate
in the annual encampment of the N.
G.. State Guard.
We believe in a State militia.
When force of nearly $4,000
volunteers from nearly half the
States of the Union was so promptly
concentrated in New York City last
Spring to participate in the centen-
NAL anniversary of the presidency,
the readiness with which the troops
were modified and their highly eff
Gent condition were most satisfacto-
nv features of that national event,
and inspired general confidence and
respect for the militia.
Among a people absorbed as we
are in developing the amazing re-
sources of our rich country it is not
an easy thing to induce men, how
ever strong their patriotism, to spare
so much of their time as is necessary
to perfect them in the duties of SOL
diers. Yet we may believe there
never has been a period of peace in
the history of the country when the
organized militia of the country was
so large, so well equipped and SO
ready for immediate active service
as now.
For the cause of this good prepa-
ration we must look chiefly to the
steadily-growing liberality of the
State Legislatures and to the camps
of instruction, which are multiply
ing, and where alone soldiers may
be properly drilled and disciplined
We are gratified to know that we
now have a permanent site, made sc
by the last Legislature, for the an
nual encampment of the State
Guard.
These encampments must result
in much good. A great deal may
be learned of the duties of soldier
from ten days exercise in the field
which cannot be learned in the ar.
mory or drill room.
We need in North Carolina gen.
erous encouragement of the fine in
fantry organizations now in exist
ence, so as to enable them to recruit
to the maximum. Many of oul
companies are now too small.
And we ought to have ligh
artillery battery, and opportunity tt
practice with heavy coast defens'
guns. Don't you think so, Mr.
Adjutant~G General Glenn?

GEN. FITZHUGH LEE.

1t has already been stated that the
alumni of the Virginia Military In
stitute, at Lexington, have unani-
mcusly recommended Gov. Fitzhugh
Lee for the position of superintend-
ent of that institution in the place
of General Francis H. Smith, who
has resigned on account of advanced
age, after fifty years of faithful
service. It is understood that the
board of visitors will confirm the
recommendation of the alumni, and
it is expected Governor Lee will
accept, and assume the duties on the
expiration of his term of Office as
Governor, on the first of January
next. There is no doubt that the
selection of Governor Lee would
prove an admirable one. He grad
uated with credit at the West Point
Military Academy, and was once
cavalry instructor there. He knows
not only the art of war theoretically,
but practically. He il splendid
organizer and thorough discipline
rian, while at the same time he has
the happy faculty of winning the
respect and admiration of all with
whom he is thrown in contact. As
superintendent of the Virginia Mil
itary Institute, he would increase its
prosperity, and at the same time
maintain its standard of excellence.

A ROW IN THE CAMP,

The Greensboro North State is do
ing some tall kicking against "the
machine" There is no Democratic
paper in the State which is at pres
ent giving the Republican admins
tration harder knocks than it is re-
ceiving at the hands of this Repub~
lican "organ." We copy a few
choice samples from its last issue:
owe hear there is great grumbling
in Raleigh about President Harri-
sons appointments. 1t is indeed
singular that he should take the
remnant that fought the party two
years ago last fall, and give it all
the offices. He will see when the
people get chance at his revenue
ring what mistake he has made.
We look for nothing but disaster
to the Republican party in North
Carolina until the internal revenue
laws are repealed. During the past
four years we made some gains. The
next four will probably result in
putting North Carolina on footing
with Georgia, Mississippi and South
Carolina; and the result will be that
the party in this State will be just
about big enough to fill the federal
offices.
The question naturally arises
What is Southern Republican
member of Congress good for, any
how? AS far as we know, they
have been made to blow the bass
horn, while Quay, Kidney Cure
Warner, and the local Sherman
bosses have sweetly whispered
through silver cornet, to the adj
ministration, and carried off the
spoils.
A serious acquaintance of the
North State says he does not like the
situation. The only North Caro-
lima man on the State ticket who
gets an office is Col. Dockery, who
is sent to place where he is expect
ed to die with the yellow fever.
Harrison has had an eye to having
the rest of the favorites shot to death
by the mOonshiners. This seems to
be way hit upon by the Admins
tration to get rid of the most persis-
tent of the North Carolina office
seekers. A strange way to reform
party.
Disappointed Hopes is the SUBJ
ject of well considered editorial in
the Durham Plant. The blasting
process has been carried on by Pres
ident Harrison according to the
Plant, and his course in making ap-
pointments is what indicates an un.
friendly disposition.
If the Plant will only wait until
the Republicans of North Caroline
are heard from, his wailing will
sound like sweet music. We have
never heard of such execration as
comes out Of the depths of the West
about the revenue appointments.
Before sixty days the rank and
file Of the Republicans of North
Carolina will be up in arms agains,
the federal office-holders Mr.. Har-
rison has set up in North Carolina. .
The above is certainly rich read.
ing considering its source, and we
congratulate the North State on its
display of Judgment and admirable
foresight.

is poking fun at onr little Congress
sional pop-gun. No sane man would
ever consider him in connection
with that office in sober earnestness.
The Greensboro North State last
week was "chock full" of arguments
against its own party. Here is an
item for the consideration of the
black brother:
"The colored Republicans of
North Carolina need not expect any
thing. For fifteen years they have
allowed certain white men "to play
them like a flute" and when the
offices are to be given out the negro
is not considered quite up to the
mark. 1t is none Of our funeral;
but we have been a keen observer
for many years of the manner in
which the colored man has been util-
lied by the INSCRIPTIONS white
leaders to advance their own inter-
ests."
This is "protection" administra-
ton. See how it protects American
labor and capital: In giving out a
contract for $50, 900 enameled bricks
to be used in the construction of the
new National Library building in
Washington the contract was given
to an English firm because by re-
hitting the duty they can be deliv-
cred there little cheaper than they
can be bought in America. So could
almost everything else, and the ques-
ton naturally arises, why should
the Government do what it refuses
to let the people do?
~
Bob Ingersoll may bang away at
the Bible for the rest of his life, but
there is one evidence of its truth
which he can not get over. This is
the fact that man was created before
woman. Had the Bible said that
woman was created first, the skeptic
host would have triumphed long
ago. Had Eve been placed in the
garden before Adam, she would
have been SO miserable that Eden
could have brought her no happi-
ness. She would have had no one
to talk to.
The North Carolina Prohib;tioaist
is dead and Mr.. w. G. Burkhead,
its editor, will adopt teaching as his
profession in the future, we learn.
Will Burkhead is man of brains
and IS not without experience as an
educator, having been a teacher in
the Raleigh graded school some ten
years ago. Our best wishes follow
him.

THIS IS RICH.

In the last issue of the Green's
boro North State we find the follow
ing fine piece of irony:
"Hon. John M. Brewer was in
Greensboro last week. On Satur-
day he was closely engaged with
many friends. Mr.. Brewer is now
being mentioned by the Northern
papers as an available man for the
Speakership. The Southern Re
publicans hold the balance of power
in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Brewers we'll defined position
in favor of the Blair bill and the
repeal af the revenue laws puts him
forward as a prominent man for
Speaker. It would be repetition
of the contest when n. p. Banks
was elected"
Brewer for Speaker of the House
of Representatives of the United
States! Well, that is rich. OF
course oul esteemed contemporary
is poking fun at onr little Congress
