accede to the terms of compromise, which
may be offered by the holders, on specu-

of legal advisers who will take care that
the best is done that can be done in the

And it may be another consolation to
know that in case a recovery Is had

portion of the recovery will come back to
two citizens of our own State, who after

do not believe Judge Purnell had any
legal right to name a receiver apd they
will pledge their lives and sacred honor
to the Governor in every undertaking to
uphold the right of the State. Govern
ment by Injunction, receiverships of SOL
vent property without notice to it's own
ers, Federal control of State property are
not popular in North Carolina. The peo-
pie are indignant at the steps already
taken and they would be more outraged
ii the Governor should listen to any uic-
tation from any Federal judge or McBec
&c Co., looking to lease, no matter how
desirable. A proper lease to proper par
ties in the proper way is the best thing
to do, but dictation by speculative bidders
Or Federal courts is not the proper way

WAR PREJUDICE IN THE NORTH.
Yankee Not Charitable Enough to Vote

To the Editor: Referring to the artlcIe

the war feeling is higher at the North

NO WORK NO PAY.

Or about a week now Receiver McBec
has not been at New Bern or at any point
on the A. and N. C. r. r. Here is an item
In yesterdays New Bern Journal:
"V. e. McBee, receiver, is still an ur-
known quantity, as to his personal and
physical whereabouts, for he is still abb
sent from this city, and no one can or
will make known where he is.
There were two less carpenters at
work in the shops, Monday, than were
there on Saturday, leaving four men in
the carpenter shop proper"
1t is to be hoped the time-keeper will
note how many days. Receiver Nc
Bee puts in at work, for, if the road is
half as bad off as he indicates, he will,
of course, present no bill for services ex-
cept the days he actually works. So
fa- he has worked only three days. If
Judge Purnell allows one dollar day for
three days, that will be- three dollars more
than his services have been worth to tn
read.
The public should watch to see whether
McBee wants as much pay for himself
and his lawyers in the "wreckage" as is
saved by the dismissal of the carpenters
"'.~se services are needed upon important
ki
atch and see the bill!

TURNIPS AND GREENS.

Elizabeth City Economist.
The culinary editor of the Raleigh
News and Observer grows eloquent over
delicacy and excellence of "turnips and
green's" We profess to some knowl-
cage of the excelency of those esculants.
But like the stars that watch by night
one turnip differeth from another turnlp
in excellence and glory, as, likewise
green's. A rutabaga is first cousin to, If
cacy and appearance it is no more like
turnip than I to Hercules" that is to
say a turnip proper is no more like a
rutabega, than l to the man in mytholo-
gy And as to green's rutabaga greens
are far better than turnip greens, and
long collards," after a killing freeze, are
better than either.
We, the more cheerfully give this
learned disquisition on a good dinner, be-
cause of an old favor of the News and
Observer.
IN the long syne, we threw up our
in Il Raleigh paper of dinner at which
Far Creek oysters were cut in two, be
fore being eaten. We scored the host for
the barbarity. He came back at US as a
glutton and a gormandise, for saying that
a decent man would not cut an oyster
in two, and the News and Observer editor
come to our rescue, approved our criti-
cism, and denounced the vandalism OF
slicing up an oyster before deglution.

A DISMAL FAILURE.

Something over year ago bark went
ashore near New Bern. leaving stranded
some Portuguese. They were employed by
farmers, proved good farm laborers, and
the farmers of Eastern North Carolina
last fall sent to New Bedford and OBJ
tanned other Portuguese laborers. 1t was
hoped and believed that a new supply of
labor had been found that would en-
able the land owners to increase their
acreage. Here is the sequel given by
the New Bern Journal:
Ten Portuguese returned to New Bed
for last night via the steamer Neuse. The
project which started out brilliantly a
few months ago seems to have ended in
dismal failure. The employees seem
to have been less satisfied than the en-.
pioyers but both parties have been dis
appointed"
The labor problem is one that presses
upon land owners and the dismal failurs
of what promised to turn out we'll is to
be regretted. After all the negro is the
best laborer that can be found upor
Southern farms and negroes do better here
than elsewhere.

ULDN'T LET CAMP DE-CAMP.

singular trial this week. II is en-
The Presbyterian Church in the
vuIued States VS.. Edward Camp. 1t
seems that Mr.. Camp protested against
the election of Rev. Mr.. Robinson as pas
tor of the Colley Memorial Church, that
after he was elected Mr. Camp said in
rublic interview MANY of the people of
the congregation have no confidence in
Rev. Mr.. Robinson, believing him unfit
for the ministry" that he fomented
trouble in the church, refused to attend
its services, and while slandering the
pastor asked for letter so he could
transfer his membership to another Pres
tyterian church. The Presbytery has
declared confidence in Mr. Robinson and
characterized Mr.. Camps statement as
malicious SANDER The trial is on, Mr..
Camp has employed counsel, and the mat
ter will be fought to a finish.
Good men of all churches will regret
this unseemly trial. Nothing good can
come from it, and it is to be regretted
that the brethren could not agree to
disagree without bringing this matter to
a public trial. There are scof(ers and
unbelievers enough who will roll such dis
agreement under their tongues as a sweet
morsel. Mr.. Camp ought to be allowed

passed, and the unfortunate matter drop

Cleveland versus Parker is to be the is

tween David Bennett Hill and Charles f.
Mummy. With this as the sole issue of
The fight, Mr. Murphy is confident that

number of delegates at the State Conven-
ton in Albany on April Is.
He is banking first of all on the popu-
laritv of Mr. Cleveland in Brooklyn to
give him control of the Kings county dele
CATION, and on the fact that Mr.. Hills
open espousal of Judge Parker's candi-
dacy will cost Judge Parker a consider
able percentage of the support he might
have received with different man as his
campaign manager.
The New York Herald's special Wash
ington correspondent says:
David B. Hills victory over Charles
f. Murphy is taken by Democrats from
other States in Congress to mean that
Judge Parker will be the choice of the
New York Democrats for the Presidential
nomination that instructions for Parker
will be passed at the State Convention,
and that under the unit rule, which usual
~ prevails in the New York delegation,
the seventy-eight votes of New York will
be cast for the Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals
THE South has been waiting for some
sign and a landslide for Parker is ex-
pected in the Southern primaries and
State conventions if Hill can hold his ad-
vantage and control the convention. In
deed, the opinion was expressed by
Southern Democrats today that the result
Of Saturdays contest had already been
taken in the South as a sign that New
York is really for Parker, and that the
landslide had started.
$50 impressed are the Democrats of
other States that the choice of New York
must prevail in the convention that indi-
vidual candidates have not made much
headwaY.
Another point which will have weight
with the Western and Southern Demo
Gratis in Congress is that Parker appar-
emily won in the State Committee over
the Cleveland sentiment. This is regard
ed as a victory not over the radicals of
the Bryan school, but over the radicals of
the other extreme wing of the party.
1T is taken to have been victory for

The Barker men tonight assert that
mere than two-thirds of the delegates to
the convention next month will favor his
domination, and that the New York dele

base this assertion on the fact that at

theory that their candidate will nave
