Virginia, our sister State and the
proud old mother of CommODwealths
and Statesmen, stands, perhaps foremost
in the observance cf this beautiful Gus
tom, and surely that man or woman
whose footsteps guide them through
the chief square of her Capital city
and rests beside the splendid monu
ment of Washington, with Jefferson,
Marshall and more of her great sons
standing in heroic bronze near by, or
further still, caR look upon the pan0-
piled statue Of that wonderful 'Hill boy
of the Slashes:" immortal Henry Clay,
or yet still further and fix his eyes on
tEaU last great offering Virginia has
made to the memory of RObt. Lee,
surely we say, they who can look upon
evidences like these Of a peoples love to
great men who made them honOred
and not feel themselves stirred with
the thought that these people honor
themselves in thus honoring their great
and deserving children, must lack to
some extent at least in patriotic3 love
for state.

of Massachusetts and her sons, and so

Gov. Richard Caswell in the town OF
Kinston, Lenoir County, and one but
recently erected on the battle ground
of Guilford Court House. there is no
public memorial any where erected by
our people to tell North Carolinians Of
the greatness of her sons, or that her
history has been marked, as they should
know, by events which equal in the

it, that Charlotte and Mecklenbure

Mr.. SPEAKER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
For the town O Edenton and the
County of Cnowan who have honored
me with commission to receive this
beautiful memorial of her distinguish
ed sons who have all passed away, this
tablet is accepted.
We believe it is eminentlY right and
proper that such tributes should be
given to the memory of those who by
lives Of high integrity, exalted worth
and US Ulness among US
while living, have left exam
pies worthy Of emulation to those
who follow after, and in no more ef-
feCtive way, perhaps, can the lesson be
taught, than by presenting in a testl-
monial like this the evidence of the
esteem in which they are held by their
countrymen,-to serve Lot only for
creating a laudable pride in the hOnors
they won bat as an incentive for high
est effort % initiate their greatness and
reach to their fair renown. Recognize
inc this sentiment it has been the Gus
toin FROM most ancient days among
all civilized people to preserve the mem
ory of their distinguished sons by tab
1et or statue, that brouze, stone or
marble might tell in silent speech who
their great men were for years after
they had passed into the eternal silence.

Turning to our own country, we find
that m1ny of our sister States have re-

this sentiment but what they have con-

TEXAS is an adept in the art of not
doing it, in the matter of Worlds
fair. First, the state legislature re.
fused to make an appropriation; then,
the required $500, COO was apportioned
among the counties of the state, but
this did not bring the subscriptions;
now, it is proposed to take up popu-
lar subscription, and this will also
fail. When it comes to passing the
hat for the purpose of raising funds to
place the state right foot foremost at
such an exposition failure is newt.
able destiny.

THE decision by the United States
Supreme Court, that the Interstate
Commission cannot compel = witness
to answer question that would in
criminate him, was to have been ex-
pected. An attempt will be made in
congress to so amend the Interstate
Commerce law as to overcome this
obstacle, but it will.fail. There is a
point beyond which no inquisition by
the commission should go, and this
decision of the supremeEourt places
that limit at personal determination.
This is just, and at that point future
inquest will end.

Party afraid of it's policy" is the
epithet fairly earned by the demo-
cratic party now in power in the ma.
tional congress. Notwithstanding
the overwhelming majority they
have in the house they are afraid to
take the Initiative in free trade legis-
lation, and pursue strictly negative
course. They are not honest enough
to confess that they are afraid to go
before the people on a .quare free
trade issue, but attack the tariff in a
few specific points where they think
| that local interests will aid their as
saults and enable them to divide the
republicans by an appeal to their
selfishness. In throwing Mills over
board they seem to have bid farewell
to all party consistency and raised the
black flag of political piracy. Their
prospective leader in the comm
campaign boldly announces this as
the policy to be pursued, without one
scruple of political conscience, or any
fear that the democracy will refuse to
accept this confession Of judgment
against itself. This very fact proves,
as perhaps nothing else could. that
the democracy is far gone from It's
orig inal consistency, and that it has
no claim upon the support of the
country as party seeking power for
principles sake. There can be no
doubt that this policy, announced by
Hill, Of making war on the repu bill
can party, regardless of its effect
upon the finances and trade of The
country, is exceedingly dangerous.
The appeal to selishness is ever
strong one, and likely to succeed
oftener than it will fail. The danger
that confrOnts the country can only
be averted by closing up of the re-
publican ranks, and such sweeping
victory next Novemb er as will forever
teach the policy boss of the democrat
ic party that he cannot corral the
country as he has rounded up New
York. The lesson of the hour is this,
close up the ranks, organize all the
forces of the people that can be by
any possibility united against this
piratIcal policy, compel it's advocates
to assume the defensive and neither
give-nor take any quarter until the
sun goes down in either victory or de-
feat next November.

a unit by any manner of means in
taking up the cudgels for Mills.
Some of the party editors remind him

was fought on lines of his choosing
and that it ended in total defeat.
There is an evident intention on the
part of the more sagacious of the
party to try some other general this
campaign.

rHe DAYS WORK.

% thy days work. my dear,
Though fast ari dark the clouds are drifting
near,
Though time has little left for hope and very
much for fear.
10 thy days work, though now
The hand must falter and the head must bow,
And far above the falling foot shows the bold
mountain brow.
Yet, there is left for US,
tho on the valleys verge stand trembling
thus,
A light that lies far in the ~west-soft, faint.
but luminous.
We can give kindly speech,
And ready, helping hand to all and each,
And patience, to the young around, by smiling
silence teach.
we can give gentle thought,
And charity, by life's long lesson taught,
And wisdom, from old faults lived down, by
toll and failure wrought.
We can give love, unmarried
BY selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred
BY the keen aims of power or joy hat make
youth cold and hard.
And if gay hearts reject
The gifts we hold-would fam fare on un-
checked
On the bright roads that scarcely yield all that
young eyes expect.
Why, do thy days work still.
The calm, deep founts of love are slow to chill:
And heaven may yet the harvest yield, the
workwor hands to fill.
