THE CARTERET HERO.

The Beaufort Dispatch-Herald furn-
ishes the first information yet received
Of the Carteret sailor who lost his life
fighting under the American flag. The
Dispatch-Herald says:
Robert Noltz's. better known TO Us
as Tom" one of the five men killed
with Ensign Ba@ley on the Torpedo
boat WinSloW III the action at Cardena>
harbor. was 4 Carteret county boy by
choice if not by birth. He was born III
Australia.
lie came into this port on board the
merchant vessel Unity Il. Dwyer. Capt.
Dave Ireland. After this he called Car
olina City his home and sailed from this
port about three years ago. His mail
all came through the post office at Beau
fort.
About two years ago he left here and
subsequently joined he navy. where he
remained until the. time of his death at
Cardenas.
He was Il No. / sailor. noble hearted.
and kind. and though Il foreigner readily
made strong friends iii the new land to
which he had come to make Il livelihood.
The people here remember him kindly
and express feelings of sorrow that he
too should have fallen in thickest Of the
fray. yet they are proud of the way In
which he met death. Brave. honest and
true he died in defense of the land for
which he had voluntarily fOrSaken his
own beneath the bright folds Of the
Starry Standard.'
The DiSpatch-Herald is mistaken in
supposing that he was lone of the five
killed with Ensign Bagley on the tor
pedo BOAT Winslow in the action at Car
denas harbor.' That action took place
III Wednesday. Mr.. Noltz lost his life
on the following Saturday at the terrible
fight at Cienfuegos where our troops cut
the cable connecting Havana with San
tiago de Cuba during a fierce encounter
with the Spaniards.

AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL PUBLIC MEN.

The full sketch Of Mr.. Gladstone. pub
ii>hed yesterday. leaves little TO say o
his public career. He was easily the
greatest man Of his age. the most versa
tile. the most accomplished, the mos
vigorous, the most valiant champion of
the oppressed. and the purest type Of
the Christian statesman.
In church and state. Mr.. Gladstone
held unqueStioned primacy. He was bet
ter kneWn rs an able defender of the
Christian religion than any living clergy
man. and though the busiest Of public
men. he was never too busy to take ~
deep interest in religious activities. I'm

/ Labor Legislation.-The .manufac-
turerS allege that the law fixing the

At IS bears heavily on them, in competl-
ton with the other States of New Eng
land. and especially with the South.
i ney also object 10 the employers llablll-
ty law and TO some other provisions of the
labor laws as unnecessary and irksone.
The laborers on their side say that the
present laws are no hardship to the man

tension of some of the provisions. They
are not agreed as to further Shortenin"
Of the hours Of Labor. Some insist that

Of labor required to produce the goods
and in many instances allows the use Of

One particular instance of this is in
the weaving. Until recently Il weaver on
coarse goods would run from six to eight
looms. Now by an invention by which
