him several blows on the bead

water or gas pipe, that in some way
he had got possession of, probably
while being attended about the
grounds. It was an unfortunate
occurrence; bnt no blame can be at-
tachei to the management of the in

While attending lh" stockholders'
ireeting of the A. & C. R. R. at
Mrehead City lust Thursday we
had occas'oc, en route, to make a
thorough insp-ctioa ot the marc-
moth branch mills at Dover of the
Gok'sboro Lumber Company of this
city, and the high grade railrcad
known as the "Dover and South
bound" which that company is buil

reservations southward.
This road is already five miles in
lergtb, and has a locomotive and
rolling stock of its own for logging
purpose. It is of standard gauge
and equipped ? ith substantial cross-
ties and new steel rails throng" out.
The fir3t three miles of the road
le d through the dense marsh to
the. Ponth of Dove-, but the road
bed is so well dra'ued and graded
that :t reflects high credit upon the
unswerying purposg andindomnit-
able energy of the Goldsboro Lum
ber Company, for it evidently re
quired much labor, great expense
aud skilled engineering to construct
such a road throughout such a low
atietch of country. Bnt the last
two miles of the road and thence
on 1 1 ng its prospective route pene
trate a country rich in fine timber,
bountiful in crop products and in
viting to the feet of progress and
the efforts of enterprise. So that
it needs not a prophet to say that the
Dover & Southbound has a future
as bright in promise as the country
which lies before its advancing foot
steps is rich in soil and Bountiful in
projection. .
But it is not alone because of the
local interest and the personal pride
we take in the Dover & Southbound
Railroad, by reason of its relation to
Goldsboro, that we make this notice.
We desire to call attention. to it also
because it gives promise of becoming
a valuable feeder to the A, & N. C.

advances, freight f yr tte cities of
Newbern,; Goldsboro, , - and even

To Regulate immigration,
The idea that we can protect onr
institutions by prohibiting ail im
migration is as iooiish as the plan
ot excluding cholera by closing all
ports and allowing no one to enter.
The purpose of quarantine is to
exclude injection withont hinder
ing commerce. The object of any
new laws or regulations about
immigration mist be to exclude
the worthless and dantrerons classes
without shutting our doors against
welcome addition to onr popula
tion.
If there never had been any im
migration to America the Indians
would beetill in possession, ho.
lowing down the history of the
country it is impossible to fix upon
any definite time at which immi
ration ceased to be a gain, Ihe
periods of largest immigration have
been those of the most rapid na.
tional development, both in mate
rial prosperity and in the arts of
civilization. Ihero was no year
when we could wisely have said
that it was time to 6top this source
of growth, and evenTf we think the
time has come now we cannot shut
the doors absolutely if we would.
Yet every one, looking back over
the past quarter of a century, can
recogn'ze the time when the char
acter of immigration began to
change for the worst ; when.instead
of independent persons or families
coming out to seek their fortune
and work their way in the nev
world, it began to consist largely
of great bands and tribes of aliens
brought over here under conditions
of dependence if not of servitude,
and when the country began to be
not merely the asylum of the op
pressed, but the dumping ground
of the criminals and paupers of all
Europe.
This is the kind of immigration
that we want to stop Mere pro
hibitory legislation will accom
plish nothing Narrow-minded
laws, like the contract labor act,
hamper more than they help. We
have seen no better euggeetion for
the solution of thia problem than
that made by General Walker,
which is simply the imposition of
a moDey test an import duty on
aliens.
General Walker's idea is to re
quire every alien entering the
United States to deposit one hun
dred dollars, to be refunded if be
should depart out of the country
within three years. If he remain
three years and at the end of that
time brings evidence that be ia a
law-abiding and self-supporting
citizen, the money would then be
paid back to him. The deposit
would be thus a security for the im
migrant's Individual fitness, and as
it would not be subject to assign
ment or attachment it would pro
tect him ss well as the public.
A law like this would not have
interfered appreciably with the
des;iable immigration of the past.
The Irish, Germans, Swedes, Nor
wegians and others who have con
tributed so much to tbe develop"
ment of the country conld very
generally have met this require
ment, and would do so still. But
it would cut off at once all this as
eisted immigration and the landing
ot hordes of tqaalid nomads on
onr shores with no honest means
of subsistence and no capacity for
growth into useful citizens.

GROVER CLEVELAND!
His Letter Accepting the Presidential
Nomination.
New York, Sept. 26 the follow
ing is ex-President Cleveland's letter
accepting the nomination as Demo
cratic candidate for President of the
United States:
To Hon. Win. I Wilson and others,
Committee, etc :
Gentlemen In responding to
your formal notification of my nomi
nation to the Presidency by the Na
tional Democracy, I hope I may be
permitted to say at the outset that
continued reflection and observation
have confirmed me in my adherence
to the opinions which I have here
tofore plainly and publicly declared
touching the questions involved in
all the canvass. This is the time,
above all others, when these ques
tions should be considered in the
light afforded by a sober apprecia
tion of the principles upon which
our Government is based and a clear
understanding of the relation it
bears to the people, for whose benefit
it was created. We shall thus be
supplied with a test by which the
value of any proposition relating to
the maintenance and administration
of our Government can be ascertain
ed and by which the justice and
houestv of every political question
can be judged. If doctrines or the
ones are presented which do not
satisfy this test, loval Americanism
must pronounce them false and mis
chievons.
ne protection ot the people :n
the exclusiv? use and enjoyment of
their property and earnings consti
tut 8 an especial purpose and mission
of our free government. Ibis design
is so interwoven with the structure
of our plan of rule that a failure to
protect the citizens in such use and
enjoyment is an unjustifiable dimi
nution of Government itself, is a be
trayal of the people's trust. We have
however, undertaken to build
great nation upon a plan especially
our own, we to maintain it and to
furnish through its agency the
means for the accomplishment of
national objects.
The American people are willing,
through federal taxation, to surren
der part of their earnings and in
come, .tariff legislation presents a
familiar form of federal taxation.
Such legislation results as surely in
a tax upon the daily life of our peo
pie as a tribune paid directly into
the hand of the tax gatherer. We
feel the burden of these tariff taxes
too palpably to be persuaded by any
sophistry that thev do not exist or
are only justifiable when laid and
collected for ' the purpose of main
taining our Government and fur
nishing means for the accom
plishment of its legitimate pur
poses and functions. This is tax
ation under operatiou of tariff
foi revenue. It accords with the
professions of American free insti
tutions and its justice and honesty
answer the test supplied by a correct
appreciation of the principles upon
which these institutions rest. This
theory of tariff legislation manifest
ly enjoins strict economy iu public
expenditures and their limitation to
legitimate public uses, in as much as
it exhibits as absolute extortion, any
exaction by way of taxation from the
substance of the people beyond the
necessaries of careful and proper ad
ministration of the Government,
Opposed to this theory the dogma
is now boldly presented that tariff
taxation is justifiable for the express
purpose and intent of thereby pro
moting especial interests and enter
prises, buch a proposition is so
clearly contrary to the spirit of our
Constitution and so directly encour
ages the disturbance by selfishness
and greed of patriotic sentiment that
its statement would rudely shock
our people, if they had not already
been insidiously allured from the
safe landmark of principle. Neyer
haye honest desires for national
growth, patriotic devotion to coun
try and sincere regard for those who
toil been so betrayed to the support
of pernicious doctrine. In its be
half the plea that our lmant indus
tries should be fostered did service
until discredited by onr stalwart
growth. Then followed the exis
tence of a terrible war, which made
our people heedless of the opportuni
ties for ulterior schemes afforded by
their willing and patriotic payment
of unprecedented tribute. And now,
after a long period of peace, when
our overburdened countrymen ask
for relief and restoration to a fuller
enjoyment of their incomes and earn
ings, they are met by the claim that
tariff taxation for the sake of pro
tection is an American system, the
continuance of which is necessary in
order that high wages may be paid
to our workingmen and a;home mar
ket be proyided for our farm pro
ducts. These pretenses should not
onger deceive. . The truth is that
such a system is directly antagonised
by every sentiment of justice and
fairness, of which Americans are
pre-eminently proud. It is also true
that while our workingmen and
farmers can, least of all of our peo
ple, defend themselves against the
harder home life, which such tariff
taxation decrees, the workingmen,
suffering from importation and em
ployment of pauper labor, instigated
by bis professed friends, and seeking
for his interest in organized co-oper
ation, still waits for a division of the
advantages secured to his employer
under the cover of the generous so-
lcitude for his wages, while the
farmer is learning that the prices of
bis products are fixed in foreign
markets, where he suffers from com
petition invited and built up by a
system he is asked to support. . -
ihe struggle for unearned ad
vantage at the doors of the GovV
eminent tramples on the rights of
those who patiently rely npon the
assurances of American equality.
Every governmental concession to
clamorous favorites invites con op
tion in political affairs by encourag
ing expenditures of 'money to : de
bauch suffrage in Bupport of the
policy directly jfavorable to private
and selfish gain. This in the end
must sprangle patriotism tnd
weaken popular confidence in the
rectitude of Republican institu
tion p. Though thesnbject of tariff
legislation involves a question ol
morals We cannot with impunity
permit injustice to taint the spirit
of right and equity, which is the
lite ot our republic and we shall
tail to reac'i our national destiny
if greed and solfichnefs lead the
way. v
Recognizing these truths, the
national Democracy will eeek, by
application ot lust and found prin
ciples, to equalize to our people the
blessings due them from the Goy
eminent they support, to promote
among our conntrymen closer com
munity ot interest, cemented by
patriotism and national pride, and
to point out a fair field. where pros
perous and diversified American
enterprises may grow and thrive
in the wholesome atmosphere of
Amencin industries, ingenuity and
intelligence. ..
Tariff reform is still bur purpose
Though we oppose the' theory that
tariff laws may be passed, baring
for their object the gran ling ol disc
criminating and unfair Govern
mental aid to prevo'e ventnres, we
wage no exterminating war against
any American interests. We be-
lieve a re-adjustment can bo ac
complirhed in accordance with the
ptinciples we profess, without dis
aster or demolition. We believe'
that the advantages of -Jreer raw
material should be accorded to our
manufacturings and we contem
plate a fair and careful distnbu
tion of the necessary tariff burdens
rather than the precipitating of free
trade.
We anticipate with calmness the
misrepresentatives of our motives
and purposes, instigated by that
selfishness which seeks to hold in
an unrelenting grasp its unfair ad
vantage under the present tariff
laws. We will rely upon the in
telligence of our fellow countrymen
to reject the charge that tha party
comprising a msjonty of our peo
pie is planning the destruction or
injary of American intcrestp, and
we know they cannot be fright
ened by the spectre of impossible
tree trade.
The administration and manage
ment ot our Government depend
upon the popular . wiil. lederal
power is the instrument of that
will, not bis master. Therefore,
the attempt of the opponents of the
Democracy to interfere with and
control the sunrage ot the States
through Federal agency developes
a design, which no explanation
can mitigate, to reverse tha funda
mental and safe relation between
the people and their Government
Such an attempt cannot fail to b:
ill .i t . i
regaraea . Dy tnougutim men a
proof of a bold determination to se
cure the ascendency of a diecred
ited party in reckless disregard of
the free expression of the popular
will, lo resist such a scheme is
an impulse of Democracy. At all
times and in all places, we trust
the people as against a disposition
to force away to Federal power.
We present to them as our claim
to their codfidence and support,
the steady championship of their
rights.
The people are entitled to a
sound and honest money, suffic
ient in volume to supply their bus
iness needs. Bat whatever may be
the form ot the people s currency
national or State, whether gold,
silver or paper, it should be eo
regulated and guarded by Govern
ment action, or by wise and care
ful laws, that no one can be de-
Inded as to the certainty and
stability of its value. Every dol
lar put into the hands of the people
should be ot the same intrinsic
value or purchasing power. With
this condition absolutely guaran
teed both gold and silver can be
safely utilize npon equal terms in
the adjustment of our currency. In
dealing with the subject, no selfish
scheme should be allowed to
intervene and no doubtful experi
ment should be attempted. The
wants of our people, arising from
deficiency or imperfect distribution.
ot money circulation, ought to be
fully and hoaestly recognized and
efficiently remedied. It should,
however, be constantly remember
ed that any inconvenience or loss
that might ariee from such a situa
tion can be much easier borne than
universal distress, which must fol
low a discredited currency.
ilhp public officials are the
agents of the people. It is, there
tore, their duty to secure for those
whom they represent tha best and
most efficient perform-neof pnbl:c
work. I his plainly can best be
accomplished by regarding the
ascertained fitness in the selecting
ofGoyernment employes. These
considerations alone are sufficient
justification for an honest adber
enceto the letter and spirit of
Uivu bervice reform. There are.
however, other features of this plan,
which abundantly commend ' it.
Through its operation worthy
merit in every station and condi
tion of American life is recognized
in the distribution of public pre
ferment, while its application tends
to raise the etandard of political
activity from a spoils-hunting and
unthinking party affiliation to ad
vocacy of party principles by rea
son and arguments.
" Ihe American : people are gen
erous and grateful and they have
m pressed these characteristic npon
their Government. Therefore, all
patriotic and just citizens must
commend liberal consideration for
onr worthy yateran soldiers and
for the families of those who have
di No complaint should be made
of the amount' of public money
paid to those actually disabled or
made dependant by reason of army
service, liut our pension rol
should be a roll of honor, uneon
tain mated and unviolated by lm
proper nse. This is due to those
worthy names which adorn the
roll and to air our people who de
light to honor the brave and the
true. It is also due to those who
in years to come should be allowed
to hear reverently and lovingly the
story ot Ameriean patriotism and
fortune, illustrated by our pension
roll. .
Preferences accorded to veteran
soldiers in,-, public employment
should be secured to them honest
ly and without evasion, and when
capable and. worthy, their claims
to the helpful regard and the grati
tude of their countrymen shou'd be
ungrudgingly. acknowledged.
Assurances to. the people of the
utm,ostt individual liperty, consist
tent with peace and .good order, is
La.cardinal principal of our Govern
ment. Ihis gives no sustainmcnt to
yexajjious, ; sumptuary laws, which
unnecessarily interfere with 6uch
habits and enstoms -ot. our people
as are -not offensive . to a just, moral
sense and are not inconsistent with
good citizenship and public welfare
The same principle requires that
the line between subjects which
are properly within Governmental
control and those which are more
fittingly left to parental regulation
should be carefully kept in view.
An enforced education, wisely
deemed proper preparation for citi
z-anship, should not involve the
impairment of wholesome parental
authority, nor detrimental to
household conscience. Paternal
ism in government finds no ap
proval in the creed of Democracy,
It is a symptom of misrule, wheth
er it is manifested in unauthorized
gifts or by. an unwarranted control
ot personal and Tamil afTY-irs.
Our people, still cherishing
feeling of human fellowship, which
belonged to our beginning as a
nation, require their Government
to express for them their sympathy
with a' I those who are oppressed
under any ruie less free than ours.
Generous hospitality, which is one
of the most prominent of our na
tional characteristics, prompts us
to welcome the worthy and indus
trious of al! lands to homes and
citizenship among ns. This hospit
able eentiment is limited, however,
by a very careful and reasonable
regulation for the protection of
public health; nor decs it instify
the reception of 'immigrant-, who
have no appreciation-of our institu
tions and whose presence among us
is a menace to peace and good
order.
The importance of the Nicaragua
ship canal, as a means of promoting
commerce between our States and
with foreign countries, and aleo as
contiibuted by Americans to the
enterprises which advance the in
terests of the world of civilization,
should ' commend the project to
toroyernment approval and endorse
ment.
Our countrymen not only expect
from those who represent them in
public places a sedulous care for
things which are directly and palpa
bly related to 'their material inter
ests, but they also fully appreciate
the yalue of cultivating our national
pride and maintaining our national
honor. Both" their material inter
ests and. their national pride and

neglect of effort on the part of their
Government to insure in the gran

ot American growth and greatness,
and a splendid demonstration of
American patriotism.
In an imperfect and incomplete
manner 1 have thus endeavored to
state some of the things which
accord- with the creed and in
tention of the party to which I have
giyen my life long allegiance. My
attempt has not been to instruct my
countrymen nor my party but to re
mind both that Democratic doctrine
lies near the principles of our Gov
ernment and tends to promote the
peoples good! I am willing to be
accused of addressing my. country
men upon trite topics and in homely
fashion; for I believe that important
truths are found on the surface of
thought and: that they should be
stated in direct and simple terms.
Though much is left unwritten, my
record a3 a public servant leaves no
excuse for misunderstanding my be
lief and position oq the questions
which are now presented to the
voters of the land for their decis
ion. Called for the third
time to represent the party of my
choice in a contest tor supremacy
of Democratic principles, my grate
