NEWSPAPERS.
NORTH CAROLINA EDITORS
AND THEIR WORK.
4 PLEASING RETfEU.
WI. Messenger

lWl. Messenger
We have been necessarily well
acquainted with North Carolina
newspapers for much OF the last
thirtv-four or five years-slnce
1857, when we began our news
paper experience as editor--and We
have this very deliberate opinion
of the present condition of the
Sta.e Press After an unusually
careful looking over OF majority
OF the exchanges tina, come - this
Office during the last two or three
months we are quite sure that We
have never seen such general merit
and efficiency. Never before, II
it seems to Us, have there been 80
many we'll edited papers among
US. Journalism in North Carolina is
certainly on the upward grade.
There are more clever pens or
pencils at work at this time on the
daily and weekly press of the State,
and by great deal, we think, than
we have ever before noticed.
We ale glad of this. The public
press we'll manned, on the side of
morality and good government,
must be a power among any people,
and must help no little In their ele-
vation and success IN life. A tree.
unfettered, high-toued press is tue
egis of a free country and a terror
to rascals, political traitors and
corruptionlsts.
The State press, as has been well
pointed ont by some of orr exchan-
ges, has done more than all the
people combined to maintain sound
principles in these chaotic, IevJ!u-
tionary times W bile the politicians
have been silent, or looking after
bait for their pin-hooks, or have
been coquetting, it may be, with
new tangled measures and wildcat
schemes of finance and relief, the
Democratic editors for the most
part have given out no uncertain
blasts from their ougles, Ont have
nailed the flag of Democracy to
their masts and are ready for the
fray.
North Carolina has at this time
scores OF intelligent, educated Jour
nalists, many of them men of such
talents that they would MAKE an
impression IN a much wider field,
and with few exceptions they are
true to constitutional liberty, to the
reserved rights of the sovereign
Commonwealths, to sound political
doctrines, and to the basic princl-
pies that constitute the glory of the
party of the people-of Jefferson
and the faithful fathers of Democ-
ray all along the decades.
Long may North Carolina have a
faithful, honorable, truthful, capa-
BILE Press to stand by her ID peril
and to defend her against all foes
from within or without! May they
now and ever strive for the public
veal, and see to 1t that no detrl-
ment befalls their venerated
mother Of all the State papers
and their editors may it. be truly

MANY STARVED.
SOULS THAT LONG FOR OTHER
THINGS.
DUTY FIRST.

Starved souls What a long
array of earth's children this
thought brings up.
How many. OH how many lives
are never lived, but dragged out, or
endured. Some from lack of early
advantages; some because heavy
duties, common drudgeries, demand
their time, while every fibre in their
beings Is strung for finer things.
Some seem to feel the fires of
genius bQrnIng within.
At times these slumbering embers
glow with a heat tnat is almost
mind-consumIng; and still the
eal then body holds the yearnlng
soul so tight that the flames may
not break through.
Some have been touched by
poetic genius, some with that OF
music; but the poet soul cannot ex-
press itself except in tame prose,
and the musical spirit must lie
dormant.
What shall we say of those who
have talent and could use it, if the
grosser things of life did not claim
their minds and strength What
an agony of soul some of these en-
dure! The pioddlng one, who has
never had thought CT wish for any
thing beyond this wolk, can never
realize what agony
What sorrow, uninterrupted hard
working, struggling for bare exist
ence, brings to the man or woman,
who has an artists soul ! Whose
love for everything of beauty IS
deep, whose every heart-chord
vibrates to the sound of fine music;
to the burning of sunsets fire; to
every hue, and every trembling
light and shadow, that they perceive
in natures falrest scenes; to the
leaping of oceans waves; to every.
thing that speaks to the artistic
sense
And sorrowful again is the one
who yearns for music and It's cathe
dral tones, who must wait fol
heaven and its raptures of sound to
crafty the yearning When they
would delight IN cultivating the art
of music; when they long, with q
deep longing, for a concord of sweet
sounds, and must listen to the
clanking of Iife's coarsest machine
~; when they must ever let ear anC
voice go unframed, must be denied
the exquisite bound of the beart
the deep soulthrIlllng, as the wei
trained fingers press the yielding
keys OF the sympathetic piano, OF
tie grand, swelling deep-tone(
organ, and bring forth sweet sounds
that seem to come from and draw
one near to heaven.
And still to be pltied, are those
who long for knowledge; those tt
whom books are more than all the
treasures of earth, almost more
than those of the other world.
How starved is the soul that 81
longs to delve into books; to CLEAR
from the musty tome the secret:
of past ages; to search for traces o
ancient kingdoms, races and arts
to explore the willy paths of sclen
tific research; to walk all ways tina
the field of books points out An(
vet they must forego it all; mus
live or, leaving all they pine for
and devote their lives to othe
work.
1t seems unfair; it is sad, but th'
stern fact remains that we must dt

But let US hope that, in a future
existence. there may come to then

Nsw OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of
school Funds Among the Districts
Of the County.

Judge Buok delivered an opinion In the
district courts ysstsrday In Z proceeding in
tho estate 81 James g. Mcdonnell, lAts ct
Marysvills, IN this county. Objections had
been made 10 the approval OF tho final 10
count Of tho administrator. The opinion
gives the facts as follows: Charles Watson
VA appointed administrator Of the do
ceased on January ~, 1880. His reports
show that hs has received S ,6s9.96 in oash,
and that, including the adjustment Of sey-
sral matters, be has disbursed, or will dis
burss before his duties are finished, . sum
in excess Of the aforesaid cash received
&1O,3344.e1. One annual account Of this ad-
ministration was approved some time in
January, 1891. "Due notice was given Of
the time set for it, approval, and tnasmuch
III this court has held that al annual 40
count 30 approved cannot be attacked col
laterally, no obisetions 70 items included
in tho settlement Of such animal account
will b. entertained. Two matters. however.
which were passed upon at the time OF the
approval Of the annual account Aforesaid
have been voluntarily reopened for SETTLE
ment by the administrator in this ANAL ac-
count and, therefore, fall within the pur-
view OF the objections now urged, namely:
His fees and I claim for extra services.
The administrator claims fees on both the
amounts resolved by him and also on tbs
amounts disburssd BY him. He also claims
that be is entitled to $500 for extraordinary
services performed as administrator Of this
estate. His claim Tor fees and for sxtraor-
binary services impress this court q equally
preposterous. I'VE
The court quotes the statute regulating
the fees OF administrators. and then states
that he received $4,000 the first year from
the estate, ON which he was allowed $337.47
and claimed $356.25 for keeping three
horses belonging to the estate. 1T may be
true, AZ claimed BY him, that this admins
TRAITOR has devoted much time and alton
ton to the management Of this estate, and
that its affairs were in d complicated condi-
ton and had to be dissntangled BY means
Of many lawsuits. But if all this admins
traitor claims for services and expenses
were to DO allowed the practical result
would b that in the management Of 9 80
600 estate for tbs period Of two years Y vas

Strong, indeed, would have to be the syl-
denoe which would induce q court to stamp
with its approval such q result" The *

$l,1O0, we're not allowed.

MESSAGES ON TYPEWRITERs.

The Business OF the Western Union to BE
So Taken. y
Twenty two brand new typewriters have
been ordered for the operators in the Vest
ern Union Office in this city, and as soon as
the boys practice up the business, commer
cial and press, will be taken on the ma
chimes. It is an additional feather in Hell
ena's plumed cap that this is the largest
single order for typewriters placed west of
st. Paul, and a notable fact that the order
was secured by Misses Southmayd d Fitz,
agents for the Smith Premier, after the
boys in the office had thoroughly tested and
examined all the standard makes. One
hundred Smith Premier machines have
been placed in Helena in the past ten
months and several have been sent to other
Montana points BY the agents. These ma
chimes have been on the market about four
years and the rapidity with which they
have gained favor is evidenced by the fact
that there are over 1000 of them in use in
San Francisco. Experts say the Smith
Premier has all the good qualities of the
other machines and many features pecu-
liarly it's own, and certain it is that when
shown by the side of other makes in Helena
the order has been invariably placed with
the Smith Premier agents, as in the case of
the order from the Western Union.
