TIE Florence Enterprise hits our Governor a hard rap, square across the knuckles, in the following plan language: "The Governors organ says in substance if the people want a constitutional convention why don't they go ahead and have one through the order of the several Boards of Supervisors. This is the most arrant nonsense. The legis- lature provided the necessary au- thority for calling constitutional convention and it stands to-day of unquestioned legality. The Cover nor ignored the law and refused to issue the proclamation calling the election. To attempt to shift any responsibility for his censurable neglect of duty upon the Supervi- sors is adding insult to injury, and such proposition can only excite further contempt"

MR. EvARTs. republican repre- sentative from North Carolina, says the Tucson Star, said in Congress that the federal election law advo- cated by Mckinley, McComas and Speaker Reed, was as "damnable and vicious a piece of legislation as was ever placed on the statute books" Mr. Evarts hits the bulls eye. He says the appointment of supervisors and marshals in the south will result in Iiot. rapine and disorder" He said it is nonsense to suppose that no negroes in the south vote the democratic ticket.

X suit will probably be brought before the first of August against Pima county to collect interest on bonds 10 the amaunt of $200,000, given by the county several years ago in exchange for bonds of an equal amount of the Tucson. Globe & Northern F. R. Pima county merely lent it's credit for amnmt,t the neither bonds paying any interest. Now the holders of the bonds claim interest on Pima county bonds, and for a large contingent fee, the ease has been taken by a prominent at- torney here.-Cjtizen.

The Behring FiZzIe.

Ii It be true that MT. Blame has surrendered the American claim in in the Behring sea matter under the menace of British fleet the event is the most humiliatlng in the re- cent history of American diplo- macy. It is not the American way to yield to threats. Our people like their Government to be generous to weak Powers and firm toward str6ilg ones. There was no necessity for allowing the dispute in this case to reach an acute stage. If it had been handled skillfullv and reso- lutely from the start it could have been settled without difficulty, Eng land was anxious to settle it. IL has simply been allowed to drift until it has Heated into an ugly and dangerous situation.
 When Mir. Bayard left the State Department he had the sealing question Tn train for an amicable settlement, but the habit of bring ing all our foreign relations into partisan politics, which is the vice of our national policy, upset all his plans and put MT. Blaine under an obligation of striking out an entirely new course for himself. It will be interesting to see what the organs that denounce Bayard's "puSillanimity" will have to say of the Blaine surrender.
 There were several easy ways of ending the dispute. Mr. Bayard's plan of an international agreement for the protection of the seals might have been carried out. If we had wished to take the highest possible ground we might have notified England, courteously but firmly, that we considered the Behring a closed sea and intended to main tain 1t as such against the world. We might have agreed to submit the matter to arbitration. Or, fin ally, We might have asked Russia to State definitely whether she considered that she had sold us half of the sea, and if she said that she did, we might have presented a joint note to England informing her that we intended to defend tue Russian and American title jointly. Nobody would have challenged that combination.
 Any one of these methods would have been effective and honorable. But instead of adopting any of them the very worst possible course has been chosen. We have had Iong-spun negotiations, during which we have threatened one thing and performed another until no- body has been able to tell where we have stood. We have sent reve- nue cutters norlhward with care fully concealed orders, so that the sealers have not known whether they would be molested or not. We have made a bluff at enforcing d policy which we have refused to back up by our diplomacy. It does not take very long course of such practices to bring nation into con tempt.-EXaminer.

About Children's Books.

There is very great difference in the
character of that class of literature for
the Holidays, known as "Children's
Books" Many books of this class ar
made from old plates from other book
gathered from various sources; gaudy
cover is put on them and they are solt
to any dealer who will buy them as j 10
lots," ''auction stock" at a very low
price.
1t is not every book nominally for
children, having snowy binding, that
a parent can put into the hands of a
child with safety.
1t has been our custom for years to
give much greater care in selecting our
line of books for children than to any
other department of our stock. Only
the books which are made by the best
Known and most responsible and reliable
of English and American publishers, and
are written by authors of undoubted
merit and purity do we ever buy, nor
would We have any others in onr store at
any price.
When a book is presented to young
child it should be one that will interest,
instruct and elevate the reader. We have
looked after this with unusual care
this season and have made our selec
tions mainly from the choicest books oi
the great English publishers, Rutledge
| Il Son., Cassell & co. and Thos. Mel
son & Sons. You can make no mistake
| in giving one of these books to youl
child as Christmas present.

Inspection of State improvements.

The New Berne Journal makes the fol-
lowing report of the inspection made by
Mr.. Ed. Chambers Smith, of the State
board of internal improvements, and
Mr. Warren G. Elliot, of the New Berne
and Beaufort canal company.
These gentlemen, with Col F a. Olds,
came in on a special car night before last
and went on to the canal yesterday on
the steamer Viva on an inspecting tour.
They report, as far as examined, the ca
nal in good order, having depth of
water from four to SIX feet. which is
better than is now furnished in portions
of the creek joined by it, through which
it is nt cessary to pass in order to get in
to the canal. and the canal company ex-
press IFS determination to keep the canal
in its present good condition, and deep
enough 70 accommodate any vessel that
would be enabled to reach il, even should
the approaches to the canal be put in
such order as to admit larger sized ones.
We hope that the United States Govern
ment will now clean out and improve
Harlowe and Clubfoot creeks, so that
the canal may be utilized to its utnos,
capacity.

EVERYBODY WAITING FOR THE
FIRST BLOOD.

ana They Won't Have Long to w att.
Excitement is Turning to Frenzy.
Explosions of Long Pent up Jeal-
ousies and Hates.
(By Gable to the CHRoN1cLE.)
LONDON, Dec 13-The struggle inIreland
is exciting all the interest of contest
between Gladstone and the tories. The
Engllsman dearly loves to look on at a
prize hight, and battle in earnest be-
tween the leading Irishmen Is a luxury
that OF late years has been very rare.
Even the strongest of British home rulers
can hardly witness it without q perhaps
involuntary chuckle of satisfaction, for
the old Adam Of ancient antipathies has
not been quite eradicated. Just now the
English press, regardless of politics, is
engaged in the congenial task of egging
on the combatauts and waiting for the
first blood. If all accounts from Ireland
are true, they will not have long to wait
for blood, as the excitement is turning
into frenzy, and common decency Is for
gotten in the explosions of long pent-
up jealousies and hates. The bitterest
of the crowd is Timothy Healy, who has
all the heat withou the self-restraint
and policy which normally characterize
Parnell. Today he made coarse allusion
to the O'Shea case, which nearly drew a
blow from one of Parnell's supporters,
and his remark that the campaign cry of
the party ought to be ''cuckoo" elicited
a protest of disgust from clergymen who
heard it, and who believe that the bat
tie, however, fiercely fought, should
| not include Chinese stink-pots as
weapons of the combatants. Archbishop
Coke has enjoined upon the clergy OF
his diocese to inculcate Christian spirit
of charity and moderation, while at the
same time emphatically urging the
retirement of Mr.. Parnell.
| LONDON, Dec 13.-The Star (Home
Rule) this evening publishes an article
contradicting any and all assertions tina
Ireland has declared for Mr.. Parnell.

President Carr Asks the Ladies of the

of Wilmington and Charlotte to help the

been of most substantial benefit in this
direction and placed the management
under lastinz obligations. May ask the
ladies of Charlotte (and Wilmington to
