WHAT SHALL BE DONE We were Informed
recently, by farmer from Sussex, that II was al
most impossible to procure labor to pick out cot
ton and dig ground peas. One farmer adjoining
hiE1, he said, would make at least 900 bushels,
If he could procure the labor to gather them. The
colored people refuse TO labor at any price. He
offered IS cents TO 81 per day, but none were wil-
ling 20 work.
A gentleman from North Carolina last week was
in search of n number of hands, but only sac
ceeded in securing two Now this should not be
tolerated by our people. Those who are idle
ought 10 work or leave for other parts. They
should not receive one cents worth from the char
liable institutions of our city. Every able bodied
man should be made to earn his bread by the sweat
Of his brow. There is an abundance of labor in
the country, but the idle, worthless negroes will
not leave the city in search of it they prefer beg
ging or stealing TO work.-PetersbWr1 Daily NetoS
Please do not urge the lazy negroes to come this
way. Our city and State is already flooded with
them. There no work now for them, and
when there was work they were too indolent to
do it.

With the changes which Republican legislators
Uill make, will come renewed prosperity and en-
Ierprise.-DeI. Republican.
The Republican party mast have been
singulaIly unfortunate in the choice of the mem
bers sent TO the last Legislature from this county
cerainlyf those that TO be elected TO the next will
be able to effect so much VIII the Republican tell
Us what measures its party leaders in the last Leg.
lslature proposed that would have effected all il
says will be accomplished by the next session
Ifthe " Republicans are destined 10 control the
State lOr the coming four year,p we presume
the Reyubliedn can inform us what the ''changes,
will be that will produce renewed prosperity
and enterprise"
Does the Republican meau to have the people
believe the State will enter upon a system o.
bonded debt similar to that which has despoilet
the southern people, for the benefit of the negroes
Il seems to usthat the people have suffered so mucl
already from the Radical financial system Of tht
Grant Administration that they will hardly b,
willing to entrust the State TO the hands Of Radi
Gals, for In that case there is no knowing what
our loss would be. Perhaps good property here
would BE- sold for less than would pay the taxes
as has been done In the South.

For the Gazette.

L or the NaIette.
In the Republ,cdn's leading editorial Of sixteen
lines, this morning, after speaking OF one of your
own correspondents who has suggested the name
Of VIM. r. Lyman, ESQ, Of w. Z. c. HID, as a
good man TO be nominated by the Democratic
party for the Governorship, goes on to say that
the Republicans are destined to control the State
Tor the coming four years, and were it not for
keeping up old forms and customs the Democratic
nominations might just as well be abandoned ;
aud still further On, and at the end, he says in
many words With the changes which Repub-
licAn legislation will make, will come renewed
prosperity and enterprise"
DO you hear that, Mr.. Editor, on this 10Th day
Of December, 1873. after Republican Legislators
have had the entire control Of the general govern
ment, for about thirteen consecutive years Now
would simply ask the question of that notorious
individual, the oldest inhabitant, you call 10
mind in all the history of the past time when
such wide spread ruin prevailed in the eountryf Is
not every branch Of business, and every Interest
Of the country completely Frustrated, with the
single exception OF what the government itself,
IN its convulsive throes, is having done, IN view
of probable war with Spain? In ell the large
cities tens of thousands Of both men and women
are cut of employment, and IN many Of the small
Ter manufacturing ones, such as Patterson and
Newark, ln New Jersey, the churches are turned
into soup houses 10 feed the iamlshed and star
wing poor, and this not only 30, but every where
through the whole length and breadth OF the land
there Is one universal vail OF distress. Merchants
discharging their clerks, and with bankruptcy
staring them in the face, forcing their goods into
the auction, only to be sold at ruinOus prices
are not .hese all facts that are patent TO every
man 1t SO, then please ask the RepU6iican mar
| to say no more about prosperity and enterprise
uudeT the present administration, for some OF ui
think that any change at all must be for the bet

POETRY.
|. Lesson in History.

A. D. 1900.
1t was summer evening
Old Mr.. Smith had come
From San Francisco, by balloon,
To his suburban home
Where, by the shores of klamath lake.
His pleasure he was wont to take.
He saw his grandchild, Colfaxine,
While playing at crOquet,
Roll something large and smooth and round
To her brother, Henry Clay,
And ask the young sport If he knew
where that queer palfeozoic grew.
The old man Smith stepped up and took
The relic in his hand,
And shook it till it ratified out
A gill or two of sand.
mTis some squaw Moaoe's skull" quoth he,
WHO fell in the great victory
''Now tell us what twas all about
Young Henry Clay inquired;
While on her mallet, Co1faxine,
Leaned with look inspired.
"Come, tell us who the warriors were,
And why they killed each other here"
sIt was the Yankees" said old Smith,
''Who made the M0docs run,
Because they coveted the lands
The red men hunted on.
It's somewhat mixed, but all agree
That twas famous victory.
"AIen, babes and women, fifty-three,
Followed the Indian chief;
One hundred times as many whites
Brought Mr. Lie to grief;
And every red was killed." said he,
I'm the great Modoc victory"
''But W hat good came of 1t at last?'
Asked gentle Colfaxine,
"Good? Why, we got their land, you bet
The home you're living in
And many heather scalp won we
In that brave Christian victory"
"Great praise our Colonel Killem gained,
And exc our flag, ween.'
but did they read the Bible then?''
Said plying Colfaxine.
"Why, that l cannot say" quoth he;
But twas glorious victory
