WOMEN AS HELPMKRTs.

Women are naturally good economists
Almost any man will admit that his wife
understands how to economic better than
he does. She may spend more money UNI
necessarily if there is no need for economy,
but let her once understand that there is
need, and better STILL let her be told ex-
actly the state Of her husbands finances,
and know the exact income To be depend
ed upon, and she will be almost sure, if
such thing is possible, to bring her eX-
penses within it.
We hear great deal of the extravaganza
of woman, but, in nine cases out of ten, it
is because her husband. either purpoeely
or earlessly, keeps her in ignorance OF his
business affairs. If the husband would
but take his wife into his confidence at
the beginning and let her feel that they
have common interest in getting start
in life, any sensible, intelligent woman
will help TO make the fortune OF man
she loves. They have natural aptitude
for making little so great ways. This
results from the fact that man is taught
how TO make money, and they think only
OF that, while woman not earning ii,
thinks none Of the Importance Of saoisag

Still there would be vast Improvement

WHO MAKE THE CHARGES.

One of the charges made against Presi-
dent Grant by his enemies, is that he is
guilty of receiving presents. He is charg-
ed with receiving anything and every
thing almost, from a terrier dog up to a
stately mansion and broad acres of fertile
lands. Now from whence do such charges
come? Who is it that raises such clam
or? What is the character of those origi-
mating such charges? Nine-tenths of them
come from such low-down prostituted
sheets as the New York San. Many of
them originate with. Incompetent, WORTH
less scamps, who have at some time or
other during the hate war, been defeated in
unworthy schemes for their own aggran-
dizement, at the expense of the Govern-
ment, and 10 the detriment of brave men
in the Federal army.
Every one is acquainted with, the his
tory of the disappointed office seeker who
controls the editorial columns OF the Sun.
He has pursued the President with vim
dictiveness which is proof positive of the
low instincts by which he is animated.
and there is no man of character in the
nation who would care to form an opinion
based upon anything he might state. The
cry is kept up by pot-house politicians
who, like pack of small terriers, can
make great racket, but never hurt any
one. While the President performs his
duties as he has done, and pursues the dig
nified course which has characterized his
actions in the past, he will suffer nothing
from their idle chatter .--...--

DEMOCRATIC ExTRAvAeANcE.


Democratic journals are daily pointing
to the financial condition of certain South
ern States as an evidence of Radical ex-
travagance." But we will not have TO
ransack the records of very many Demo-
cratic States to find set-off for all this.
Hear what the Missouri Democrat saws on
the subject
Great efforts are being made latterly by the
Democratic leaders TO escape responsibility for
the extravaganza and corruption of Tammany
in New York city; but the record of the Dem
ocratic State government does not show TO much
better advantage. In 1865, when the admins
tration was in the hands of the Republicans the
total expenses of the State government were
S476,S 1913 65; in 1870 when every department Of
the State administration was in possession of the
Democrats, the expenses amounted to $685.
473 6O--an increase of $346, $40 So, or moro than
seventy per cent
And these men who have thus nearly doubled
the expenditures of the great State of New
York. and who are so fatally complicated with
Tammany corruption, are the same who are as
pirng so eagerly for the contr oil of the national
finances In what contrast to this Democratic
wastefulness and thievery is the Republican ad
ministration of the Federal government by
which, despite great reduction of taxes, nearly
ten millions of the public Indebtedness is dis
charged every month And how soon would
this come to an end if the Tammany Democrs-
cy should obtain the management of the nation
al finances The Democracy in power may be
ornamental, but it is certainly neither economi-
cal nor useful.

A DEMOCRATIC cARPET-BAGGER.

After hearing so much abuse heaped
upon carpet-baggers from various sources,
we had expected that when Democracy
came in the South, that carpet-baggers
would stand no chance with them. But
1t seems that we were entirely mistaken.
John nj. Conner, just elected to Congress
from rexas, it seems was appointed to the
regular army from Indiana, and in the lang
uage Charlottesville Commemorative "shine
of shoulder straps' had scarcely "furled
from his manly form before his election"
He is so proud of his "permotion" that he
could hardly wait unlil the votes were
counted out before he started back to his
native town to tell his old friends and
neighbors whata great man he hadgot to be.
The way he exposed the carpet-baggers of
the South in talking to his old Democratic
neighbors was truly refreshing. He evil
IDENTIFY thought that he was drawing
heart-rending picture of the sufferings of
his constituents, who are not allowed to
keep up an innocent organization known
as the kuklux khan, by which they could
keep up something of the old feeling in
their bosoms, which prompted them to
''wallop niggers." Their liberty in this
respect is retrained in most wanton man.

Peter b. Sweeney pretty clever man, af-
ter all the recent exposures in which his
name has figured in a rather unenviable
way. Here is what it says:
1t is asserted by very many people that Peter
u. Sweeney Is the only honest man, thoroughly
incorruptlble. who has been connected with the
Vlilainles of Tammsny; Of all of them he was
innocent and ignorant Such are assertions
made by New ork letter-writers, and it is but

allegations Sweeney Is a man of taste in let
ters, reticent, charitable, thinker and philoso-
pher, unostentatious, but All intense hRter. His
habits of life arc fsultleSs. and his sympathies

THE State debt of North Carolina is
thirty-four million. There was never
more glaring, downright piece of thiev-
ing and rascality than on the part of those
TO whom the bonds OF the State were is
sued. If they had been used as they
were intended, in constructing internal
improvements, it would not have been so
serious matter; but instead thereof, they
were appropriated by individuals-stolen.
The ends Of Justice will never be attained
until some gentlemen who are now play
ing the role of gentlemen are incarcerated
in a penitentiary, and serve a term of
twenty years at hard labor.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

If there is any one thing that develops
the contemplate hypocrisy of President
Grants enemies than another, it is their
everlasting whine about civil service re-
form. They say that he has made profuse
promises on the subject, and point to his
appointments as an evidence of their vio-
lation. 1t is nothing more nor less than
the old cry of the outs against the ins,
which may be expected as long as there
are office-seekers, We say it boldly and
without the fear of contradiction, that the
civil service of the United States is just
as efficiently and just as economically
performed now as it has been at
any time since the 4th day of March,
1899, when Old Hickory Jackson took the
oath of office and assumed control of the
affairs of this government. We do not
pretend to say that all men who hold of
flee under the present administration are
examples of virtue and intelligence, but
we do say, there are fewer thieves and
sinecures under this administrator than
under that of James Buchanan. The cry
of civil service reform is all well enough,

whose history is that of official vice and
corruption. 1t makes little difference to
them who President Grant appoints to po-
sition, they intend to keep up their cry
until the doors of the public crib are open
ed to them, and there is afforded an OPP
portunity to crafty their propensity for
public plumber.
All the men who are moving in this
matter are not of this class. A great many
true patriots all over the land are anxious
to see none but the best men in office but
these are not the men who make the noise.
They proceed in a proper spirit to give
their views, while the greedy pack who
desire nothing but to get into position
themselves, resort to low, mean, vindic-
tive and scurrilous abuse of the President
and his friends

The editor of the Press and Herald en-
lightens us in long article, in his issue of
Sunday morning, on the subject of The
Senatorial and Representative Apportion-
ment." He no doubt speaks advisedly on
that question, as it is understood that he is
one of the committee that is looking after
the interests of the Democratic party in
that matter. For, be it known that, not
withstanding the party has a majority in
the State so large that it makes one grow
dizzy to contemplate it, and, notwith-
standing "the little band of Radicals in
the present Legislature numbers little
more than dozen, Democracy does
not feel safe to let things go on
without the closest supervision. And
it appears that the committee appointed
by the Legislature cannot be trusted to
settle the question. Therefore the valu-
able services of the editor of the Press and
Herald, together with such gentlemen as
Isham G. Harris and w. c. Whetthorne,
are brought into requisition, and they are,
it is said, re-districting the State. That
every other interest except of that of
the motley crew, known as the Democratic
party, is lost sight of, is pretty clear
case, ... .ft........ j.stlI.

ment of the colored race. $50 much for

TRIAL BY JURY.

Who can tell what resolutions are to
take place in the near future, in the juris-
prudence of the country?
On Monday, a bin was introduced into
the Lower House of the Tennessee Legis-
lature, providing for abolishing trial by
jury in civil causes, except. where it was
demanded. The bill was rejected, but the
minority in favor of it was large and re-
spectacle. The arguments used in favor
of the bill were very plausible to say the
least of them. The principle argument
made against the measure, was that it was
an innovation on the long established
usages of the country. Its friends insist
ed that the presence of juries in civil cases
entails needless expense on the country,
and that judge, learned in the law, was
more capable of deciding upon evidence
than men who never made such things a
study. After the rejection of the bill by a
vote of SO to .23l one of the oldest MEM
bers Of the House made motion to recon-
slider, which lies over under the rule.
Whatever may be said about innovations,
the time has certainly come when there is
two sides to the question.
