WE ARE HERETO STAY.

A letter from a Richmond man,
anxious to embark in newspaper
! enterprise. was received bv US this
week. We want his presence and if
there is any money in journalism in
this locality we hope he will he able
to command it. Another gentleman,
living in our State. a man of distinc-
ton and ability proposes. as we un-
derstand, the early publication, at
this point, Of large eight page paper
devoted to politics and progress,
material social and educational. We
hope he'll come and we hope the
enterprise will be grand success.
The more, the better even for the
FISHERMAN AND FARMER which was
born out of opposition and which has
lived and will continue to live if there
is any virtue in economy and indus
try. If any man can run a paper
cheaper than we can or, do job work
for less price, lie viii have 10 curtail
expenses by diving on nothing and
sleeping out doors. AS long as we
are able to do our own work, with the
assistance of one boy and, sometimes.
two, we can publish the paper for
$50 per year and furnish job work
as cheap or, cheaper than it can be
had in any city South of Baltimore,
and. as long as we shall do this, we
will never fear any increase Of com
petition. Tue E. City News. the
Economist, the Roanoke Beacon, the
Carolinian and the FISHERMAN and
FARMER do their own work and DO
it at less expense than any other
paper published in the district.
When the "horn blows" for them,
times will be hard with the others so
far as profit is concerned.
The FISHERMAN AND FARMER
came to the sur face over three years
ago and it came so stay and it will
stay as long as life and PHYSICAL
health shall bless its owner.

OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN!
WHAT He SEES AND HEARS DURING
THE WEEK.

Edenton needs a public hall, a
place easily changed from a ballroom
to a theatre (which is not at all impOs-
sible or impracticable) for the accom-
Odation of the social and pleasure
seeking public. Ifsuch place were
constructed, at a cost reasonable, it
would pay, But, right here, | hear
some one asking where is the
Court House hail and why not
use that? Unfortunately, in these
times at least, that hall is in the
hands Of public custodians, men
representing all classes alike and are
bound by their Office to rent to any
and every body indiScriminately or,
not rent at all, Hence, that hall is
often unfit for use and, because Of
associations lately removed, perhaps,
is not pleasant and desirable to all
people and for all purposes. Besides
we think the Court House hall un-
safe, under some circumstances,
and in times of exhibition many
people are deferred from going there.
Let the entire Court House building
be used for court and other public
purposes and let a theatre be built
for the accommodation of the people,
seeking pleasure, amusement and
profit, by private parties.
We never witnessed such a dispo-
sition to be store keepers as is now
manifest among the colored people.
In the neighborhood of the old NJ.
+. Church, On Oakum street, there
are half dozen or more catch-penny
establishments that would do credit
to nothing save, perhaps, trading
post n some Western wild. Can there
ever be any real DIGNITY in business
as long as such places are tolerated
or patronized?
Some mischievous boys in town
are in the habit, as they pass along
the streets in the night season, of
throwing stones or, other missiles at
private residences, The parents Of
such boys had better looE after their
hopeCuls before the service of doc.

like all other old men, fe views the

actualities of yesterday. We excuse
him, as we do all men of his age, for

H PLATFORM.
The Democrats PromuIgate the PrIn.
cipies OF Their Party.

The Democratic party Of the state of
Wyoming in convention assembled, do
adopt the following as its platform:
We are not here to originate Democratic
principles, but we are here TO sound the
principles OF that party which has ever
been the party Of the constitution, its
fundamental principles being that all
power primarily belongs to the people,
and that constitutions are made for the
purpose of defining and restricting the
powers delegated by the people, and that
they should be strictly construed. In
luenced by Democratic principles, IN the
hands of the Democratic party, the gov
IN of this country during the first
sixty years OF the present century was so
conducted as 10 lead to continued and I'M
broken prosperity. Capital was pro-
tected, labor was amply rewarded, the
rights Of American citizens we're respect d
at home and abroad. our commodities
were carried in our own ships TO foreign
markets, our commerce was prosperous,
labor strikes were unknown, constitutional
rights were everywhere respected, the
people were happy and content. Now
mark the contrast After we had had a
quarter of a century of Republican leg IS
ton, %monopolies had grown INTO gigantic
proportions, labor was oppressed. labor
ers had become restless aud dl .sat'shet,
our commodities were transported II
foreign markets by shirs of other la
tons, labor strikes were al common Oc-
currence. labor was taxed t. fed monop-
oily.
We deprecate these results, hut cLargr
that they are legitimate fruits of the poll

the many-to make the poor poorer and
rich richer-to Cypress by unjust and
unnecessary taxation the producers and
iaborers in the interest of protected
monopolies
Democratic economy hid 80 reduced
that at the end of the administi alton of
President Cleveland, the revenues ex
ceeded the expenditures by about $50
600, 900 per annum and the savings which
bad thus accumulated in the national
treasury amounted to $3.50. 00O, 900.
One year of Republican extravaganza
has wiped out this surplus and increased
our expenditures to ran amount estimated

We are in favor of conducting both the
national and state government so far al 1t
causes the collection and expenditure of
money, with the same strict economy
which prudent business men observe in
the conduc, nj their private affairs.
We d,u., re the Mckinley bill as a
monstrous aiu of the taxing power;
increasing Instead of reducing the present
unjust tariff, and discriminating against
the laboring aud agricultural interests OF
the country.
We are in favor OF n gradual AMI per

and together with a succession of revolts
necessitated tedious waits. During these
most of the delegates distributed them
selves about the city, while the chief supes
labored with the recalcitrant. Def. Rich
ards, the two-faccd man from Converse,
was balky and his stubbornness was the
source of no end OF annoyance. The
Albany county delegation was on the
war-oath until the order to shelve Secre-
try Medium was Issued. The Converse
crowd was a house divided against itself,
and for that mater there was an insur-
rection or two in nearly every party.
Some of the convention members were
DOUBTLESS sincere IN the desire to break
from the yoke and assert their manhood,
but these we're llshed inc line AMI put
through their pace like so maug trick
animals.
1t was the original intention to hold the
convention AT the capitol. but the Chey-

by adjonrning u the opsra house. In
this they we're disappointed, for at no
time uas the dress circle over halt filed.

A New Town on tho Ohio Side,

George J. Ma.hison Saturday, referring
to "Hishland City" which has Just been
plotted on what is known as the Hodyen
farm, six miles above this city, on the
Ohio eide. ut is a splendid place fol
country residences, and as it's level is
ten feet above the 81 Hood, no water
will ever touch it. We have laid it out
with sixty-foot streets and eighteen
foot alleys, and reasonable number of
lots will be sold cheap to those who in.
tend TO build at once. A part OF the
land has already been purchased
for a GUNNER hotel, which will have
all the conveniences usually found
in such places, and bathing houses will
be put up where Just as pleasant bath
ing can be INDUCED in as at the water.
ing places. All kinds OF pleasure boats
will be provided. and perhaps naptha
yacht or two. Most OF the rooms have
been engaged for next season. The
place will be just as convenient 10 city
people as out the pike, after the Union
bridge and connecting railroads nro com.
pleted. Tho G. & T. runs through the
place, the Wheeling 4 Lake Erie will be
completed in sixty days, and the right
