London, Feb. IA cablegram from
Wei Hal Wei, dated February 3, says
the Chinese fleet has practically ceased
to exist. The ironclad Chen Yuen ana
her sister ship, the Ting Huen, nave
been sunk and the other vessels of the
Chinese feet are within the grasp OF
the Japanese
At daybreak on Sunday, the Japan
csc fleet opened fire on Lui Kung forts,
which replied vigorously. The bonn
bardment became terrific. The first
Japanese division, including the flag
ship, directed it's force against the
eastern island batteries, while the
second division shelled Fort Sehlh.
The Chinese feet soon came to the as
sistance OF the forts. The Ting 1uen
used her guns with effect, but sue
ceeded in diverting some OF the
Japanese fire from the forts to her
self The Lai Yuen, a smaller ship,
also fought well. There were many
casualties. Two Chinese gunboats also
assisted but were not badly damaged.
These four vessels fought desperately
until dark when the firing ceased on
both sides.

HOW THEY "REEORM.'

The Raleigh Neaos and O6servtr of
Sunday published a notable statement
showing that in the name of reform"
the present Legislature has increased
the number of " laborers" in its en-
ploy twenty-one over the number en-
ployed by the last Democratic Legisla-
ture, and that it has two more pages
and one more engrossing clerk-all
footing up an increase in the pay roll
of $3.50 for this session, over that of
the Legislature of 1895. A brother of
Speaker Walser figures as L" laborer"
at $3.50 per cay, a son OF Representa-
tive Campbell, of Cherokee, is a page,
and a son Of Representative Cheek, of
Orange, is chief page"-an office
never heard of before-at $3.50 per
day. This is bright beginning for a
body the members of which insisted
while candidates for election, that
public expenses should be reduced to
conform to the reduction in prices of
farm products and manufactured goods.
But the devil takes care of his own
and this Legislature evidently intends
to take care of its own.-Charlottc
Obse,rer.

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.

We are happy to announce to our
readers that we have arranged with
Gen. Rufus Barringer, of this city, for
publication in the Democrat of his
revised Historical Sketch of the First
North Carolina Cavalry Regiment. 1t
will appear in our issue of the 18TH
inst. Gen. Barringer has received
many complimentary notices of his
account OF his old Regiment, and has
letters from Col. w. H. Cheek, Capt.
W. R. Wood, and Lieut.. D. P. Mast,
vouching for the general accuracy Of
his statements, but suggesting slight
corrections in minor details. The
plan is, after the article is subjected to
thorough criticism and revision, to
issue it in the Democrat for general
circulation, and then probably put it
in pamphlet form. All who desire
copies OF the Demotya. of the date
referred to, with this valuable contribu-
ton TO North Carolina History, should
notify US and extra copies will be
ssued.-Charlo,te Democrat.

GOSSIPERS.
Germantown Independent. |

Next to the professional politicians,
If there is one class of human beings
more than another which any COM
munity could we'll afford to lose it is
the gossiping class. And we regret to
say that in Germantown the gossipers
are almost as thick as the English
sparrows. The least little thing is
magnifed by them into a grievous
and objectionable error. And what
is worse, in order to make a racy and
sensational story, they not infrequently
devlate from strict adherence to the
truth. Indeed, were they satisfied to
repeat happenings and conversations
exactly as they occur the more serious
results of the abominable gossiping
habit would be avoided. But truth
being generally SO tame, it is ever so
much spicier to embellish little,
adding point here and suppressing
another there, until an exceedingly
commonplace detail in reality becomes
a decidedly sensational episode in the
telling. How little these tongue
waggers realize the harm they are
doing. Reputation, it has we'll been
said, is man and woman's brightest
jewel, that should be kept untarnished
by even the shadow of suspicion, yet
the most innocent and virtuous
individual that ever lived is liable,
through some trivial mistake, to be
made to feel the venom of tongues that
wag unwisely and untruthfully.
What, indeed, are any OF US that we
should sit in judgment on anolher's
actions? Perfection can not be found
IN the best of us, and the wagging
tongue that to-day tears another repu-
tatlon to pieces may tomorrow be
called upon to defend an action far
more reprehensible than the one which
set the SNOWFALL of gossip rolling until
1t had become the mammoth jugger-
naut of scandal. People are COM
monty so much occupied in pointing
out faults in those ahead of them
says Dlllwyn, Gas 10 forget that some,
astern, may at the same instance be
descanting on theirs in like manner"
Beware Of gossip. 1t is a little
seed, but grows fast into a weed that
covers up all the good intentions and
chokes good impulses almost before
they have begun to grow.

THE WAREHOUSE BILL UNWISE.

| THE WAREHOUSE BILL UNWISE.
A bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Bellamy, of Nash county, TO
reduce the salary OF State and county
officers and tobacco warehouse charges
to fraction over half Of what they are
now. To our mind the intention of the
gentleman who introduced this bill
was pure and all right, but in the light
of common sense and sober reason let
us look at what the result Of such an
enactment upon our statute books
would be to the farming element Of
North Carolina. The Legislature being
composed mainly Of farmers and not
made up of tobacco warehousemen, 1t
is but natural that such a bill should
meet with much favor at their hands,
because naturally they calculate that
the saving in charges goes into the farm
er's pockets and hence is that much
made for him. But let us see. If the
charges that warehouses usually collect
are reduced half, instead of having
friend to see that the farmers tobacco
sells for its worth the warehouseman
is utterly dlsempowered and unable to
take any risk whatever in purchases of
the farmers tobacco. Do the farmers
of North Carolina want to sell their
tobacco with a man whose honest de-
slres and intentions to see that the
farmers tobacco brings market value
is SO handicapped by the laws of the
State that he is absolutely powerless
to place his bid against that of an I'M
fettered and unincumbered competitor?
1t is simply placing the power ofinten-
sified and concentrated monopoly i'll
the hands Of tobacco purchasers who
see proper to take advantage of it. In
the disguise Of approaching the farmers
with bill purporting to be their friend
and for their interest after it is fastened
upon our statute books as fixed law
OF the land, those very ones who are
now fostering and urging the passage
of the bill will find that they have been
harboring an empty delusion which in
tobacco farmers Of this State more
money than the difference between the
present and proposed charges will
amount to in ten years. Such an asser
ton may sound wild but an uctual
calculation will prove it to be so. Only
a cent a pound on several million
pounds in two years will amount to a
great deal more than some Of our legis-
lators would imagine.
There should be a mutual feeling
existing between the warehousemen
and planters but if the present Legisla-
ture continues on in its wild and Wis
ionary schemes no telling what the
feeling will be twelve months hence

II has been difficult 10 establish and

in the South, one that would compare
favorably with those of the North. The
reason is plain. 1t is not so much
because Of lack of talant as a want

strated time and again. But the GOLD

so. And in the Southern Magasine,
