city. In various ways as yet unknown to
the general public. am of the opinion
that closer relationship should exist be
tween them and the city authorities. By
unity OF action much more can be accom>
plished than by independent exertion
The present city council is second to no
man or organization of men in honest en-,
deavors to advance the city's welfare. and
is willing at all times to cooperate with
all those who have the same patriotic
motives at heart.
In conclusion l will say one word
more about public improvements. The
demand for more paving is liable to be
greater than the city's financial ability
to comply with. as we must bear our
proportion in the way of intersections,
but by economizing in other directions,
we may be able to keep up with the de-
msnds. We can, for instance. cut the
street and alley fund down, and make
no more street improvements except
those that are prominent-just have a
fluid such as would be required to clean
the alleys, and repair only such places as
are dangerous; these are the questions fol
your careful consideration. Whatever
system we adopt, should be adopted
soon, so as to have time to mature our
plans before the beginning of the mex,
municipal year.

The Kings OF MinstreIsy.

The originators Of modern minstrelsy.
the Rock Island favorites, the Germans,
appear at Harper's theatre on Thursday
evening of this week. Read what the
Buffalo Courier says as an indication of
the nature of the attraction this excel.
lent company is presenting this season:
A pleasing. and in some respects quite
unique, entertainment of minstrelsy, was
given at the academy of music last even
ing by the Germans Elite company, with
an audience of goodly size. The troupe
is excellently equipped with vocalists Of
superior talent, besides clever comedians
and dancers, all of whom were introduced
in the first part ia a advertisement repre-.
senting reception at West Point. Gen.
erals in regimentals, guests, young ladies
and cadets. were all jet black, and the
performance was ridiculously funny.
Some charming songs were CIV
en-, also Rotations, acrobatic and
other dancing. and an effective
feature consisted in the West Point
cadets rifle drill. silent drill. and pic
turesque tableaux. Very taking inciden-
tails were the song and dance doings by
the sll-Americsn base ball team and its
mascot. Arthur Rigby; the songs by Geo
E. Brunton. Edwin Harley. and the Elite
quartette; the remarkably fine whistling
by Fred Lee. and various other special
ties. Almost everything on the bill was
encored. The second part was a conf
cal monologue entertainment by Arthur
Rigby, who is indeed very funny; the
third joyous song and dancing festival
| denOminated The New South" The
programme closed with the elegant pres
entatien of James Germans operetta,
The Princess of Cambodia," with the
full company in the cast. 1t well rounds
ed out an evening of genuine enjoyment.

ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
OFFICIALLY PROMULGATED BY STATE
PRESIDENT ELIAS CARR.

WHEREAS. The North Carolina Far
mers Alliance did, at its last regular
meeting, on the 18th day of August,
1899, in this city of Fayetteville, set forth
the following resolutions as the de-
mands of the Alliance. to wit:
RESOLVED. With full confidence in
the correctness of onr position upon the
question, we again demand of the Gen
eraI Assembly of North Carolina, the
enactment of a railroad commission
law with full powers to the commits
sion law, with full powers to the COM
missioners to regulate freight and pas
senger rates upon just and reasonable
basis, and with further power to inves-
tigate and take reasonable action with
respect to damages or injuries to per-
sons or property.
RESOLVED, That the North Carolina
Farmers State Alliance hereby enterst
its earnest protests against the policy
of giving away the labor of our convicts,
and demands Of our Legislature the en-
actment of such laws as will hereafter
prevent this outrage on the rights OF
the tax payers of our State.
RESOLVED, That We demand such
changes in our laws as will reduce the
c ISIS in litigation in minor causes abb
as shall enlarge the Jurisdiction of our
justices of the peace.
Resolved, That we demand that laws
shall be enacted to prohibit our pub lie
officials from receiving or using free
passes or tickets on our railroads.
WHEREAS. the same having been sub
mitted to and ratified by the requisite

ITS TOO BAD.

We are reliably informed that the
census will not show a population in
the town Of EdentOn eqnal TO that
in 1880. 1t was then not much more
than 1000. In this census, we learn
that the incorporated limits of tne
town will not show more than 1900
people. Does this not show up a
little bad for US? Edenton covers
considerable ground and is some
what thickly settled, and we are at a
loss to account for the fact OF its loss
in population, when with our eyes.
we see almost daily, people, both
white and black, moving here III
large numbers. Something is wrong
1t may be that our town is SO divided
into wards that it throws a large
number of people outside Of the town
limits who. properly, ought to be
within them. If so. this Is not only
an injustice to them, but to Us also
who are in the town Those outside
have the benefit of the town as truly
as those in it, and they are exemp
ted from the taxes necessary to keep
it in good order, while those who are
in the limits haye an undue proper
ton of the taxes on them. Again,
the business that has come to this
town during the past ten years has
brought at least five hundred more
people to it than before. We are al
most able to sit here in our Office and
count that number. This, if true,
will show bad for us. We will be
set down among the nOnprogressive
towns, and capitalists looking for
PAGES of investments will skip Ed
entOn on account Of its Rip Van
WinkIeism. Why not enlarge, even
if it be necessary to make one large
ward of mid night darkness What
is the opinion of the town tax pay ers?

BOND FUR SOLICITOR.

While we take deep interest i'll
the nominations for the different Of
fees in the approaching conventions,
still we are most concerned about
the SOlicitOrship. We mentioned
Mr.. w. NJ. Bond in our last issue
and we believe that he is worthy of
all we said about him. Mr., Bond is
no stranger to the people of our
county. nor the adjoining counties.
He has been honOred by some OF
their votes before He has repre-
sented this Senatorial District in the
State Legislature. and his record
will bear us out in saying that his
services were "cceptably rendered to
his constituents. 1t is IN unWrtten
law in our political system not to
nominate and elect an officer to the
same office for more than two terms
There may be exceptions among our
local officers. but where the people
are scattered over any considerable
territory the above is the Gaze. Lee
our own and sister counties send
strong delegations to the convention
in support of Mr.. Bond.
Read what correspondent of the
Economist says:
ED. ECONOMIST: Among the number
of names mentioned for Solicitor of
this district, this county presents that
of w. NJ. Bond. We persume that his
reputation as lawyer is alone sufficient
to convince all of his fitness for the DO
sition. He has the power as a speaker
to make lively canvass for his party
and if elected sci icitor we believe W i'll
carefully, protect the interest com mittte
to him. ChOwan county, whose son
has rallied to his party S support, has
asked nothing for Iong time of the
District Conventions. She would be
glad to hear the other counties concede
to her citizen named this nomination
CITIZEN.
In the Falcon we also find the
following:
ED. FALCoN:-In the judicial Con
vention to meet July 22d, in Edenton.
the name of w NJ. Bond, Esq. will be
presented as candidate for solicitor
of this district.
He is known to most of the citizens
of this district as candidate for the
Senate in 1884, and as familiar figure
in our district conventions. dare say
that most of those who read this will
assent to the statement that for ability
as lawyer and speaker, no man can
be found in the district in any way his
superior as a prosecuting attorney
ChOwan will ask her sister counties TO
assist her in nominating MIR. Bond for
this position. She and her people be-
lieve that no better selection can be
made.

TIE white man that tells a mig
ger" that what it takes to elevate
one race will not do for another
is either devoid Of all observation
and understanding Of such facts,
or is trying to blind the 'n;gger."
Our politics are democratic, but
when we cease to give good and
wholesome advice to ell classes OF
our citizens then we forfeit our claim
to manhood The negro must make
himself, and not depend on his pre-
tossed white republican friends so
implicitly The democrotic party
is not his enemy. How many dem
ocrats does he find, that tell him,
that music, or any other fine art, or
branch of education is not neces-
sary to his elevation? The demo
cratic party is willing to help the
negro, and many Of its individual
members do so, by making private
donations to many of his enterprises.
This ought to convince the negro
that the democrats are not his enc
mics. Our advice to him is that he
should brain himself in every de-
partment Of knowledge and thus
prepare himself to become an up
right and useful citizen. By so
doing he will learn his place and
knowing it, he will keep it. Logic
is logic.

1t is with regret that we are called
upon to announce the death of Mrs
John Durkin, which occurred on Fri
day night, June 9th, of that dread
disease consumption. She was a kind
and loving wife and mother, and the
bereaved ones have the sympathy of
the entire community. The funeral
took place on Monday, with burial in
the Catholic cemetery in WaldWick
The body was followed to its last rest
ing place by large number of mourn
ing friends. There were over one
hundred teams in the funeral process
sion.
The School closed Monday, with a
grand entertainment in the evening,
which consisted of singing, declama-
nations, dialogues and music. Much
praise is due to Miss Gilligan for the
success of the ntertLinment. 1t was
evident that no pains had been spared
to impress upon the minds of the
pupils the fact that perseverance is
necessary to obtain knowledge. The
little ones spoke very well indeed. We
hope that our district officers will be
able to obtain Miss GilIigan to teach
our school again. G.
