INCREASED DEMAND FOR OYS-
TIERS.

Our friends in the great west" are
fond Of oysters AS well as the Leople
whu I've along the Atlantic scaGoard
ana they are determined to have them.
The r: roads and refrigerator coinpa-
MES RIVE made arrangements t. sup
ply the demand of these PEG Die D the
far inldnE territory. The Inter-Ocean
Of Chicago, says that during the Win
ter there will arrive in that city weakly
no less than four trains, each consist
ing of geven refrigerator cars, and each
car carving five thousand pounds OF
oysters from Chesapeake bay. The
oysters, says the Baltimore American
will be shipped o the city of Bati-
more. Many of them, though, Will
come from the oyster beds Of eastern
North Carolina. 1t is we'll known
that TO. some years the sounds of tnis
state have been heavily drawn upon
to suoply the oyster markets of the
coast cities to the north of us. Devas-
tating inroads have been made upon
the North Carolina oyster beds to fur
nish chesapeake bay oysters to the
trade carried on from these cities.
With the establishment of this new
line of oyster trains to the far west,
though purporting to ship chesapeake
bay" oysters, a heavier drain will be
made on the supply from North Caro-
lima waters.
Our state authorities should take
c~ognizance of this matter and eXer:
extra care in preventing the depletion
of our oyster beds through the in
creased demand caused by the open
ing up of this new market.
At the same time, this opening up OF
a new territory of demand should
stimulate the industry of oyster Cdl.
ture in our sounds. Chesapeake bay
cannot supply the demand as hereto
fore existing. This has been demon.
strated by the drain that has pee:
made on the North Carolina resources
lHio uC1LluI1u, VI COulDN, VII DO 1ShNc
ed. Our people who have the facili
ties for raising oysters should make
exertion to help supply the enlarged
demand. 1t is perfectly plain that tw:
things should be done: Greater care
should be taken to protect the natura
beds, and more attention should be-
paid to oyster cultivation.
We hope our state authorities will
: take notice of the new conditions like
ly TO arise from this extra drain tina
is to be put upon the oyster beds o
the sounds and bays of the Atlantic
our peoples interests and to encourage
soyster cultivation.

The southern people, especially those
living in territory subject to yellow
fever epidemics, were very much in
terested in the recent quarantine con-
vention held in Chattanooga. We have
always thought that this was a matter
for control by the federal government.
The recent experience of the city OF
New Orleans. we think.y demonstrates
the correctness of our position on this
question.
The Charlotte Chronicle has a short
editorial ON This subject which so
clearly defines our position thai we
give it as an expression of our views
in preference TO any thing thai we
could say on the subject:
The southern conference on quar-
antine and immigration did we'll in
downing Governor Vardaman on
state rights, as applied to quarantine.
Federal control of quarantine is the
only effective system, as has been
demonstrated very clearly by the past
experience. Last summer the yellow
fever was fast getting away with New
orleans when the government took a
hand in the situation and quickly had
the epidemic under control. We be-
lieve that h governments measures
that were applied, prevented a most
disastrous epidemic. When yellow few
er breaks out in any part of the south,
the case should be put into the hands
of h government doctors. The inef-
fective state quarantine. such as ad-
vocated by Governor Vardaman, has
wrought much mischief in the south
in the past.

that the first democratic mayor ever

stand upon, and so we take off our hats

THAT REMINDS US.

1t is estimated that since the squad
ron cast anchor from twenty to thirty
thousand persons have visited the
Drake. In hat time almost every
movable small article has disappeared.
and the sailors opine that the great
forward turret with its gun would have
gone if it had not been pretty Well fast
ened on. 1t was learned yesterday
that some enterprising person had
climbed 1877 feet to the tip OF the
brakes mast and cut a piece five
inches square from the admiral's flag
flying there. That particular flag was
a silken one presented to Prince Louis
by the women of the German court,
he is very fond of it.
The above is from an article in the
New York Tribune of Monday in refer
enc to the presence in that city's har-
nor of the feet of the British Admiral
Prince Louis. AS this article is head
ed-that reminds us-of what occurred
IN the Cape Fear shortly after the close
OK the SpasliSh-American war. 1t will
be remembered that the cruiser Ra-
leigh paid our port a visit. and many
people vert aboard of her. She
brought a rapid fire gun, which had
been captured in Manila, as a present
to the state Of North Carolina While
the vessel lay in this port this gun was
an object of great curiosity to the
sight-seers aboard. It was soon dis
covered that au important part had dis
appeared. 90 n knew who bad it.
The gun was sep! to. Raleigh minus the
attachment and a reward was offered
Tor the return Of the missing piece.
After awhile announcement was made
that the piece had "mysteriously''
turned up and nothing more was beard
of the matter. Maybe Admiral Prince
Leuis will have the same good luck
with many Of the articles taken from
his flagship; we have our daaIhts about

In his recently published volume of Rec

of Parliament, tells how he conceived
plan in 1852 to capture Dublin castle. At
that time there was a strike of the royal
Irish constabulary against the government
and Mr.. O'Brien had been invited to ad-
dress the strikers. He writes: my notion
was, without disclosing my plan to any
body-except one to be presently mem
tioned-to go to the police mass meeting,
to raise to the highest possible pitch the
excitement with which they were boiling
over. and s.raightway, under cover OF a
deputation to the viceroy, to march my
