THE Splendid COLORS
That Make the Carolina Autumn n
Subject Worth Talking About.

How much not only of their physical
yioor and longevity but also OF their hap
Diness the people Of North Carolina owe
to the pure air and to the glorious sunsets
and the magnificence Of the forests, who
will undertake to say This autumn l.
even more splendid than usual. The sun
sets Of two weeks ago have been subjects
of very general conversation ever since,
and the newspapers have nearly all con
tanned descriptions Of these indescribablc
scenes The lateness OF the frost this
wear permitted the foliage to die slowly,
and then when the frost did come and
touch the living branches with such splen-
did colors-what n magnificent sight it
made even of our barrens.
THE CHRONICLE gets news OF this, too;
and whatever makes the people glad, 1t
gladly publishes. eXhorting its dcordant

A DAIRY.
Rotation in Office.

To TIE CHRONICLE.-Th are few men
in our Democratic party IN North Carolina
who will not agree that they can count on
the fingers of one hand those who have held
the higher officers in our State siHce 1865
To be Governor Of North Carolina, or
United States Senator. or Congressman, or
State Treasurer, or Judge, is an honor to
be lightly esteemed by no one. There are
few Gentlemen who would not be glad to
serve their State in any Of these capacities.
10 some Of these positions we find the field
has been occupied almost exclusively by
the same men or those closely allied with
them. And yet we put in our platforms,
and talk loud and get red in the face on the
stump in prOclaiming IS Rotation in Office
Rotation in office"
The founders of our General Government,
and of our State Government fixed bounds
to all the offices, and they were to be of
short duration, too, except as to one Of the
very large number necessary to conduct in
safety public aft airs. Even the law break
ing and Consttutlon-destroyin Republican
party, which prior to 1880 hesitated at
nothing, stood in mixed terror and desire
in presence of third term.
In the counties where rotation is the cry
and no rotation is the practice, what do we
see? A handful of little offices filled by
men year after year, whom to oppose is to
make enemies, and who are so thoroughly
satisfied with themselves that, not unlike a
magistrate of neighboring county shortly
after the war, they can feel the pardoning
and other powers of the President Of the
nation as they are diffused throughout their
mental and physical structures And like
all men who have been in any office for a
long time they become careless of their du
ties to the public, and very particular to re-
quire of the public strict performance of
lis duties to them.
What is the difference except in extent
between him who is Autocrat Of all the
Russias, and him who is sole Monarch of a
Kingdom of thirty miles square? And how
short is the distance from a Republic COM
posed Of little Soverignties to absolute con-
troll by the General Head:
1t will be impossible for great while 10
keep the minds Of the people adverse to a
Third Term or even an indefinite number
of Terms for the Presidency if We persist
emily ignore the little principality system
that is growing among US with the rapldity
of bad seed on good ground.

Mohave County miner., 1883-11-18

The Rio Grande Republican very justly criticises the custom of miners Tn ignoring the local papers and glV- ing their money for articles to be published in some distant journal which has no interest in mining mat tcrs, and which, in many instances, exerts its influence to the injury of the mining interest. Those owning mining properties can ind DO better friend than the paper published in their own camp and it should firstre ceive their patronage. Next repre- sentative journals in the financial centers devoted to the mining inter est should be sought and used. The attempts which have been made to write up the different parts of the mining country by strangers for publication in some distant and to- tally disinterested paper, fully proves the uselessness of such operations, and the foOlishness ofwastiDg money in this direction. Fifty dollars paid to the local journal will bring Letter results and do more to advance the interest of mining camp than $500 paid for such bungling and worth less attempts as have been made in recent publications in the Eastern cities. It is about time that the owners of mining properties had learned to know and appreciate their best friends.

There was a novel trial of speed on the farm of James Lawton, near Car rolton, Mo-. during the recent hay vest. At six minutes and ten seconds after 4 the reaper stood at the corner of the growing wheat Men were stationed every few feet along the line of grain ready to seize an arm ful as it fell from the reaper, and to rush with 1t to the thrasher close by. The mill was just sixteen rods dis tant. At the drop of the hat the mules spraug to their wnrk, and in a minute and a half about a peck of thrashed wheat was in tue sack and on horse that began race for the mill. A minute and seventeen sec- onds later the flour was delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and in three minutes and fifty five seconds from the start ing of the reaper the first grlddle- cake was eaten. In four minutes and thirty seconds from the starting of the reaper pan of biscuits was passed out to the spectators.

Bradstreet's has an exhaustive ar ticle on copper, and the summing up is the belief that, at fifteen cents per pound, the very bottom has been reached. It explains that the copper of Chili cannot be produced at that price; that the mines of England, Portugal and Spain are rapidly be- ing worked out, as is manifested by their great falling off in yield, and concludes that henceforth the, United States must be the chief reliance for the metal. It admits that Arizona and Montana are making extensive showings; flat great deal of work has been done during the past year in exploring for copper near the Cal umet & Hecla, but thinks tIS,dt no pro can make the price. fall lower, while the demand for copperi is being greatly augmented, and there is a strong prospect of still further aug mentation by applying it in places where 1t has not heretofore been used on account of its costliness. These facts should encourage the owners of copper mines in Arizona to thor develop their mines.

\ Monster of the Deep,

Cap. D. Seymour, of the American whaling bark Hope On, which an
 chored in the bay the 7th from a four-months' cruise, with 400 barrels of humpback on board, reports hay ing encountered a strange marine monster off St. Elme. This is one of the Pearl Island group, situated be- tween forty and fifty miles from Panama The boats were out wait ing signals from the vessel as to the direction in which the whales were heading. Capt. Seymour was steer
 ing, and he make ready to catch a whale, but to his surprise and that Fof the men in the boat, who ceased pulling and looked around when he
 uted to them, an animal some
 t like horse slowly rose out of
 water and then dived apparently
 rmed at the sight of the boat.
 pne of those present had ever seen
 h animal like it before, although they are all old sailors, and they agree in saying, as do another boats crew who saw 1t the following day, that it is an animal which has never been previously encountered. The glance which Capt. Seymour ob- tained enables him to describe 1t as about twenty feet in length, with a handsome horselike head, with two unicorn-shaped horns protruding from it, with four legs or double
 jointed fins, a brownish hide, pro tusely speckIed with large black spots. and a tail which appeared to be divided into two parts. The ami nal was seen on two different days, ald an effort would have been made to catch it had 1t not been that whales were about at the time, Capt. Sey- mour and his officers agree in be- lieving the monster is peculiar to the locality and that 1t could be easily killed with lances md bomb guns. Officers of the Pacific Mail company say they have seen this animal on several different occasions, although they never had the opportunity of close observation which was obtained by the Hope On.-Panama dispatch.

Tke Next Platform.

Upon the nature of the platform adopted by the next Republican Ma tionai Convention will hinge the sue cess or failure of the Republican party in the next Presidential cleo tion.
 The Republican party can no longer live upon its past history. It must champion new and live issues, or ''step down and out" However great its achievements in the past and this Nation owes its very exist ence to the Republican party,-its virtues and memories will be forgot. ten in the stirring necessities of the present.
 It will win, if at all, by proving itself, now, and again, as it has ever been in the past, the champion of the dearest rights and interests of the people. Its platform should de clare, in no unmeaning terms:
 First-In favor of tariff for the protection of American industry.
 Second-In favor of the govern ment owning the main lines of rail roads and telegraphs, and operating them in the interest of the people,
 Third-In favor of wholesome leg islation by the several States restrict ing the sale of intoxicating liquor.
 Fourth-1n favor of a postal say irgs system, similar to that now ln use in England.
 Fifth-In favor of disposing of the public lands to citizens of the United States only.
 Sixth-Against all further dona tions or subsidies of public lands for private or corporate uses.
 Seventh-In favor of changing our naturalizatio laws, requiring resi- dence of ten years as a condition precedent to citizenship.
 Eighth-In favor of an education al qualification in the matter of sui frage.
 Ninth-Agalnst taxation without representation.
 Tenth-In favor of graduated tax at;on, thereby placing the burdens of government on the shoulders of those best able to bear them.
 Eleventh--In favor of a system of public education that will make more useful citizens than il spells.

A curious accident occurred re- gently to two large sea going torpedo boats while maneuvering in the bay of SpeziH. They were steaming rap idly around one of the large Italian ironclads, in opposite directions, and came suddenly in collision with one another. The bow Of one boat actu- ally passed completely through the hull of the other, projecting a con siderable distance on the other side. After a few seconds the boats were separated and both steamed safely back into the harbor. The accident Illustrates how excellent their means are for preventing their sinking in case of any accident to any part of the hull forward or aft of the space occupied by the machinery.
