The Importance of Next Years Election.
Wilmington Star.

The Importance of Next Years Election.
Wilmington Star.
Outside of the Importance of
securing control of the next Legis-
lature, which is paramount, the
Democrats of North Carolina
must confront the fact that there
are Superior Court judges to elect
tor the first, second, fifth, sixth,
seventh and eleventh districts.
and that five of the six incum-
bents are Democrats. The dis
trlcts are now represented as fol-
lows: First district, George H.
Brown; second, Henry R. Bryan :;
fifth, 5. B. Adams; sixth, O. H.
Allen; seventh, James D. McIyer:
eleventh, W. A. Hoke. There are
twelve districts in the State, and
the other six are now represented
by Populists and Republicans.
So, if we lose the State next No
vember, every Superior Court
judge in North Carolina will be
either a Populist or Republican,
as the judges, though nominated
by districts, are voted for on a
general State ticket. We regard
this matter as of such vital i'm
portance that we do not hesitate
to ask our Democratic contem-
porarles to call attention to the
foregoing facts.

this State. We are sure all GOOD
men are eager for change. We
have fallen on evil days in North
Carolina. They recall the days of
revolution. They demonstrate the
truth that no Southern State can
be governed with honor and de-
cency by the Republican party.
Too large number of it's voters
are ignorant for the masses to
control, and too large number of
the leaders are venal and corrupt
to give North Carolina good gov
eminent. We look with horror
upon the evils wrought by a m
bination of Republican, and the
corrupt work of the leaders CT the
Populist party by means of which
our Legislature has been made a
farce. Many of our officeholders
become corrupt and criminal, and
ignorance and vice raised above
intelligence and virtue. We de-
nounce the efforts of this combina-
ton to place the insane of the
State at the mercy of incompetent,
vicious and lustful men, and we
condemn the changes wrought in
our laws whereby ignorant and
impure men have been placed in
control of our schools. courts,
prisons and asylums. These are
the inevitable consequences of Re-
publican rule. The Democratic
party promises the people on its
return to power to correct all
these abuses. 1t will guarantee
every citizen his rights, but it de-
mands that virtue and intelligence
shall rule the State. 1t will re-
store to the white women of the
State the security they felt under
the twenty years of Democracy in
angurated by the immortalVance.
To the accomplishment of these
ends let every patriot rally to the
white mans party.

The Worlds Greatest Seaport.

On the 1st of January next the
charter creating the metropolis of
Greater New York goes into effect.
Without waiting for lie arrival
of that time it is interesting to
observe that the credit of being
the worlds greatest seaport al
ready belongs to the present city
of New York. This statement
may occasion some surprise, but
the figures for the past year show
ing the business of the worlds
various seaports, leave no doubt
as to it's truth.
twenty-five years ago New York
ranked only third in the list of
great seaports, the order being
London, Liverpool, New York,
Hamburg. In 1896, however, New
York leaped to the head of the
list, surprising London in the
amount of tonnage cleared by s.
20O,3 tons, Hamburg by $685.
$50 tons and Liverpool by $780,
500 tons. The aggregate figures
of these various seaports for the
year is given in the following

The protest is specially directed against

The news has produced CONSERVATION at

NO NATIVES FOUND.
An Expedition to TiburOn Island,
Gulf of California.


The Two Republics, a newspaper of Mex
leo City, contains the report of an eXpedi-
ton against the canabalistic Seris, who
occupy the Tiburon Island in the Gulf of
California.
The island was reached the 18th of the
month. Every precaution was taken to
surprise the natives, but when a rancheria
was reached no sign of any of them was
discovered. Other rancherias We're ap-
preached, but still the natives proved elu-
sive. Near one Of these, however pieces
of burnt wood were discovered, which, upon
examination, proved to be boards from the
sides of the vessel World, and on these
pieces of wood the words, World, San
Diego" could be read. Other small objects
one of the huts a pair of shoes, American
make and half worn, were discovered. All
Of these objects were turned over to the
district judge.
A Few years ago newspaper man named
Robinson and George Flavelle, a trapper,
sailed with two other comrades for Tiburon
Island to barter with the warlike Seris.
Robinson and one other of the traders were
seized by the Indians as they landed on the
beach and were never again heard of. 1t
is supposed they We're killed and eaten.
Prof. MCGEE of the bureau of ethnOlogy,
with a party of eleven, visited the island in
hills. and he was enabled only to gather a
small collection of curiosities, for which an
equivalent was left on the beach. Later a
small party of AriZonianS went over to the
island and have not been heard of since. 1t
Is believed they were maSSacred
