"The Democratic party of Arlzona re- affirms it's allegiance to the principles set forth in the national democratic platform adopted at Chicago at the national convention in June, 1896.
 It demands that the hints of the United Stateg be opened to the coinage Of both gol5 and silver at the ratio of l6 to l without asking pr awaiting the consent of any other nation.
 To enforce the gold standard through out the world is impossible. The pres- ent condition is intolerable. The dem ocratic party believes that the issue thus presented is the most important in American politics"

A Genuine Arizona Pioneer.

General J. B. Allen celebrated his
 SOth birthday yesterday. The General
 was born in Maine, from which place he travelled with his own team across the
 country, then across the plains and
 Rockies in '49 to California. Since
 which time he has travelled over, across,
 and in every direction of the United
 States.
 General Allen came to Arizona in 57
 making his first stop at Yuma. and par
 ticipated in the placea gold excitement
 of that time at Gila City. He came to
 Tucson in '58 and has been here or at points tributary ever rsince. He was first elected member of the Arizona leg isIature iu '67 and vas one of the fac tors in having the capitol removed from Prescott to Tucson. He was three times in ali member of the legislature. H.
 was territorial treasurer from '67 to 72. When he assumed office the territory
 was $26. 900 in debt. He had bill pre-
 pared which became law providing a revenue for the territory. When he retil ed from office in '72, the territory was free of debt, with Sl6.000 in the general fund and $50O0 i'll the territorial school fund, No man did so much for the early financial intrest of Arizona as General Allen.
 It can be truthfulIy said that General Allen laid the foundation of the more modern. Tucson in early days. He erected a number of the best buildings of his day. When he was constructing the building at the corner of Congress and Never streets twenty-five years ago, they said he was crazy. When he erected residence where the railroad depot now stands. (which was then far out in the bIush) they said he was q hermit. When he secured the location ofthe military camp at Fort Lowell. they believed he had gone daft.
 General Allen made several large for tunes in and about Tucson, and invest ed every dollal in advancing the inter. ests of this city He was among the first to inaugurated public schools. churches, and everything which par took of progress. Being well educated he accumulated 8 vast store of knowl- edge, rich data, and knows more about Arizona. it's history, growth and con- quests than any living man.
 The General is TOW pleasantly iocat- ed on North Court street, in pleasant home be built during the past year. The recurrence Of the anniversary of his birth has opened the way for the star to express gratitude that go useful a life has 90 long been spared. And "e hope General Allen will live to enjoy many anniversaries. That his mental faculties will continue to re- main as clear as today, with the hope that he will commit his knowledge of facts of this region 10 paper.
 General Allen, here is the greeting of the Star on your S0th birthday, which means many years lived to good pur- pose, for the benefit of Arizona and generations to come.-Star.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

How 1t Was Observed In GoIdsboro?
The national day of Thanksgiv-
ing was graciously observed Thurs
day by our felloW-citizens in
city and country alike. 1t was a
day of suspended business, family
reunions, church attendance and
social intercourse, festivity and
pleasure.
At St. Paul church, the Meth
odist and Presbyterian congrega-
tions held a union service. The
decorations were appropriate and
beautiful, of fruit and flowers,
vegetables and serials, foliage and
sheaves. The music was fine; the
opening prayer of the service by
Rev. f. W. FAIRIES was in ex-
quisite spirit for the occasion and
was eloquent of expression and fer
vent of utterance. Rev. DR..
Swindell read the lesson for the
day and introduced the several
speakers, Messrs. W. G. Munroe,
Geo. G. Hood and Rev. j. W.
Bryan, who, each in his turn, en-
tertained and charmed and edited
the large congregation. Mr..
Munroe spoke on "Thankfulness
for Material Bounty Mr.. Hood
on "Thankfulness for State and
National Progress,'' and Mr..
Bryan on "Thankfulness for Spiri-
tual Privileges The occasion
was one Of the most enjoyable
features of the days observance.
In social circles there were
many family reunions and festive
dinners, and in this regard we are
happy to know that the poor of
our community were not neglected
in the good cheer that prevailed.

on Vermont avenue, last Monday
night. aud relieved their feelings
by a noisy denunciation of affairs
in the Carolinas, and, incident
ally, of The Washington Post.
The proceeding no doubt amused
them. At any rate, we hope SO.
There is nothing like a rousing
semblage, with plenty of
fervor and persplration, and no
possibility Of trouble. to relieve
the overburdened mind and
reduce the caloric in the system.
Of course, very few of the ne
groes present had any intelligent
conception of the circumstances
of the case. We are quite willing
to believe that they were sincere
and honest in their expression of
Indignation. To them, the events
of the past few weeks in the
Carolinas presented the appear
ance OF a wicked wrong. We
shall not waste time in trying to
convince them to the contrary.
Let it pass.
Of the prevailing tone of the
meeting we must say that it was
unwise, albeit innocuous enough.
The Carolina negroes have had
enough by this time of miss
chievous counsels from men who
abandon them at the first ap
proach Of danger. It is not likely
that they will act upon the ad-
vice of men who have kept at a
safe distance from the beginning.
It is easy to be intrepid and i'm
petuous 500 miles out of range.
The negroes of the South will
take all this frothy voclferation
at it's true value. But why have
so much incendiary outcry on
any terms? What good purpose
does it serve? What end of hu.
manity or civilization does il
promote? It can avail only to
aggravate disaster and increase
the sufferings Of the helpless and
the nnocent-both black ano
white.

Every Word True.
Raleigh Post.

lGdl01Su Z OSG.
The following from the Char
lotte Observer is not only true,
but timely, and we reproduce it
with our full Endorsement of all
that is said of Mr.. Bruner. The
Agricultural Department is
really one of the most important,
as 1t can be in the control of
intelligent men one of the most
useful, of all the departments of
the State government. It has
been made to serve as stall for
ignorance to feed in, on the
principle that the lass knows
his mas ter's crib," but this
prostitution of an institution
capable of so much usefulness
will soon be at an end. Intelligent
energy will again be enthroned,
and the great object of the de>
partment will be carried into ef-
feet.
In speaking of the re>election
of Mr.. Bruner to the secretary
ship of the Board, a place he
heretofore filed with such great
usefulness, the Observer we'll
says:
This is a matter which, like
the late election, rises above
politics. There are a number of
men in North Carolina, any one
of whom would make a good
Senator, Governor or Chief
Justice, but there is only one
man who is pre-eminently fitted
for the important Office of .secre>
tary to the board Of agriculture.
Mr.. Bruner knows more about
the resources of the State than
any man in it and knows better
how to talk and write about them.
The State Museum at Raleigh. q
magnificent collection, is monu.
ment to him He has done more
than anybody to bring the State
into public notice. and this work
is his delight. Through long
years of stady and investigation
he has qualified himself for it
and while there may properly bt
contests over other places to bt
filled, there should be none ovel
this. Nobody else than Mr.
Bruner should be thought off,

University of North Cerolira to-
day won he hardest fought bat-
tie ever seen on the Virginia
Gridiron by a score of to 2. Five
thousand people witnessed the
game and the playing was fast
and snappy throughout. Carolina.
under Reynolds coaching showed
up better than ever before. Their
rush line was strong and com
pact. Though Virginia outweigh
ed them by ten, the Tar Heels
smashed through for steady
gains and kept the ball in Vir-
ginla territory large part of
both halves.
Johnny Poe's work as Vir-
ginia's coach showed up we'll in
kicking and mass plays, but the
home team was slow at times,
and Carolina's only touchdown
was made by Howell, after SEN
sational run Of fifty yards, in
which he eluded Nirginia's tack
les and guards and slipped
through the whole line. It was
the play of the day. Gregory
kicked goal, and score of 6 to G
was made at the finish of the
first half.
After that Virginia work tan.
dem hard and depended largely
upon heavy mass plays for gains.
This helded to keep the ball in
North Carolina territory. but the
kicking and interference of the
Tar Heels were features toe
strong for Virginia. Captain Col
lier tried Carolina ends several
times, but this failed.
The North Carolinians worked
like trojans, and the whole team
played with unity and precision
never before seen on a Virginia
gridiron. Koehler, Howell and
Rogers did the most brilliant
work for the visitors.
After hard work with the ball
in Carolina territory for half an
hour, Virginia secured safety by

player fell on the ball and was

Idleness and Crime.

"Crime as naturally follows

Judge William R. Martin used
these plain and striking words in a
charge to the jury at the opening
of the fall term of the Talbot
county courti. The words were
timely, and the facts presented by
the judge show that such idleness
has contributed in no small meas
ure to a criminal record which
must surprise and startle the reace-
loving people of that good county.
"For years, added the judge,
ssEaston has been the Mecca for a
crowd of idle men and boys, who
disdain work, but who boast Of
their ability to live by their wits.
This is the criminal class of the
community, and its members rest
their hope of acquittal upon a
horde of professional witnesses,
whose faces are as familiar in the
courtroom as those of the courts

the expenses of this court are in

Glass;
Heroic treatment IS the only
remedy. Such conditions cannot
be tolerated. Idleness that leads
to crime comes within the ken of
the law. The State has the right
and power to say to these men and
boys: "You must work. Va
grancy, that needs but temptation
to step over the border to crime,
is as truly deserving OF punish
ment AS crime itself. The court
! of Talbot must pay heed to Judge
Martins words, and punish its
criminals in such a way that the
class of idlers from which they
have graduated will be broken up.
Teach those people from which
Easton is now suffering that they
can no longer violate the law witt
