to-day, for the purpose of learning what truth
there is in the reports that he proposed resign
ing from the ticket on account of the treatment
he has received from Cleveland, have been una
BILE to see him. There are many evidences that
he has the matter under serious advisement and
there is no question but that he will withdraw
from the ticket unless Cleveland yields
to his wishes in some respects The Cleveland
managers profess the utmost contempt for Hem
dricks's suggestions. They say; .Mr. Hendricks
has been meddling in our pie. He should keep
his fingers out of what he doesn't understand
The idea that Mr., Cleveland and his friends will
be dictated to in any way by a wild West
Hooser is absurd
This is said of man who is the only element
of strength there is to the ticket Hendricks
feels keenly his humiliating position. He has
made many friends among Democrats and Re-
publicans, all Of whom are indignant at the con-
temptuous manner with which the Cleveland
crowd refer to him.
The prevailing sentiment is, that he would do
the most manly and statesmanlike act of his life
to withdraw from the ticket

All intelligent men concede the great strength
of Mr.. Hendricks candidacy in his own State,
and in view of his commanding position and in
uence, it is idle to talk of Democratic fractional
troubles; the party will come to the support of
its recognized leader with enthusiastic unani-
nifty But quiet, yet great change has been
going on in Indiana during the past ten years.
Not only have the farmers come to see the fall
lacies and peril of free trade but the growth of
manufactures has been steady and rapid, and
the workers IN these shops and mills are intelli-
gent enough to know that all their interests lie
with the party of protection. In local contest
this issue has only relative place, but the Re
publican candidate for Governor is pressing the
question home upon the people, and those who
propose to vote the Republican ticket in Novem-
Der will see the wisdom and necessity of voting
the same way in October. The contest will be
close and earnest, and Governor Hendricks may
find that while he has been taking his ease at
Saratoga, and by the sea, the leayen Of cardinal
Republican doctrine has worked a permanent
revolution in the hitherto Bourbon stronghold

CIGARETTE NAMING.
ADEXTROUS EMPLOY MENT THAT
is VERY PROFITABLE INDEED.


The busiest fingers YOU can find between
Nottla and Nags Head are the fingers that
make cigarettes III the factories AZ Dur
ham There Is. or at least there used 10
be. popular notion that cigarettes Were
made by machinery and SO they may be
somewhere. But the machines are not
very successful at least they do not do
such good work as is done by hand.
The tobacco set apart for cigarettes Is
first stripped of the stems. Then IL goes,
after proper manipulation to make il
moist, through a cutter-on the general
principle Of a fodder cutter-which cuts
ii into long cut" Thereafter il Is pulled
apart by hand and made of proper moist :
ure or dryncSs. Then it is weighed out
into parcels, five pounds say, and given 10
the cigarette makers.
Every cigarette maker has a space at a
table. His parcel of tobacco lies before
him. Beside it is bundle Of cigarette
papers, and near by a smooth piece of
wood, on Which there is a little pure corn
starch He draws paper In front OF him
and rolls the tobacco in it, and pastes it
before you can say Jack Robinson" He
lets it fall down in slide lii front of him,
and it rolls into a box at the foot of the
other side of the table.
There ''clipper" picks them up and
| cuts off the tobacco which protrudes from
the ends of the paper-cnts it with scis-
sors, the tobacco falling in a receptacle to
be used for cigarettes again or put up as
| smoking tobacco.
! The parcel of every cigarette maker is
| labelled with his name or number, and car
ried to the selecting room. There they
are again handled, one by one, and all
that are not perfect are thrown aside and
torn up. There they are wrapped by hand
in packages of five or ten or twenty. Next
they 90 to the table where they are
stamped. After all this they are done uI
| into packages of wax paper and put in
! pasteboard boxes; then enclosed in wooden
cases, they are ready for shipment.
1t is hand labor from beginning to end
1t is all paid for by the quantity of work
done. There are a good many persons
therefore, who get a profit out of every
cigarette, even after the tobacco is pre-
pared-the maker, the clipper, the selector
the wrapper, the stamper and the packer
all paid so much per cigarette, (Or so much

The Core of the Natter.

From Ne Chdrlest0n NeOs and C6urteT.
There is really only one way to protect
American labor against ''the pauper labor
of Europe" and that is to prohibit Euro
pean immigration, or place heavy tax on
European immigrants. But the manu-
facturers, who are very anxious for the
protection of American labor have no love
for any such arrangement. They want
labor to come in freely, because they are
thus enabled to hold the American work
men in check. Their ojection is to the
introduction of European manufactures.
They insist that iron and linen and all
manufactures shall be dear, and flesh and
blood cheap
