How to Secure Tickets to the Conven-

1900 Letters Day.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 14.-An army of
workmen are busy preparing the huge
Exposition building for the reception of
the "MaY Festival" which will be fol-
lowed closely by the meeting of the Ma
tional Republican Convention, beginning
on Tuesday, June Sd. An auditory is be-
ing partitioned off in the main building,
which will be about half the size of the
Convention Chamber used four years ago.
AT the previous convention there were ac-
commodatons for about $4,000 people,
but ii was only on the opening day that
the seats were all occupied. 1t was soon
discovered that the chairman's voice
could not be heard in the north end of
the hall, and thereafter the seats in that
quarter were deserted.
THE SEATING CAPACITY
this year will be nominally 10, 900, but, of
course, great many extra people will be
crowded in on the gallery benches. The
acoustic properties of the great building
were never satisfactory at the best; in
deed, it was not constructed with that
end In view, and its location is unfor-
tunately so near the Central Railway
Depot that the noise of the moving trains
is source of annoyance to a dehberative
assembly within its walls. However, this
is the only capacious building available
for the convention. The changes and
improvements this season will be a small
er auditorium, the removal of the stage
to the opposite end of the hall, and the
erection of an immense sounding board
over the stage. The latter innovation will
enable every person in the audience to
hear

THE CHAIRMAN's VOICE,


but it is feared it will be most unsatis-
factory to the speaking delegates, whose
voices will be echoed and re-eChoed from
the sounding board The National Re-
publican Committee appointed a sub
committee to take charge of the forth
coming convention. The subcommittee,
in turn, selected a local committee at
Chicago, and the latter has several branch
committees. Headquarters have been
secured for the various conventional
committees at l27 Dearborn street, and
the work of soliciting funds for the
necessary expenses of the great meeting
is in progress. As the expense OF trans
forming the Exposition building will be
borne by the May Festival people, the
Republican National Convention and the
Democratic National Convention, the
share of each is not over SIC, 900, but the
Republican National subcommittee has
instructed it's local Chicago offshoot
TO RAISE $685.
in order that the tickets Of admission
may be engraved, orchestral music OBJ
tanned and other Improvements inst-
tuted over the last session. The local
committee and its branches are not in
the most complete harmony with the
sub-National Committee, and there is
sure TO arise trouble concerning the
distribution OF tickets sooner or
later. Indeed, the situation has al
| ready become so strained that mem
| bcrs of the local committee have re-
quested AL applicants for tickets to
write directly to Hon. John g. New at
Indianapolis. This has evidently been
followed, as it is now reported that
MIR. New has four mail pouches of un-
opened letters, and is receiving about
1900 fayors by every mail. 1t was
originally intended as a joke, but peo-
pie oil over the United States have
entered into it with such spirit that
the volume Of mail matter flowing
towards Indianapolis is becoming enor
nous.
The hotels are making extraordinary
preparations to house the hosts of yisi-
tors expected at the conventions. All the
regular boarders must 90, and every room
will hold from five to ten cots. The
Palmer House, already eight stories high,
Is building temporary wooden shed on
the roof, in which to place 500 people. If
the elements are propitious it will be a
delightful resort, but in case of cyclone
or fire the destruction of human life
might be appalling.
CHANGE OF NAME.
The Daily Press, the official organ OF
the city, and the only straight-out Demo
cratic paper printed in English in this
city, will be changed to the Erening Mat
and the establishment will be moved
across the street from its present Location

Some "Tar Heel" Reflections.

The writer has often wondered at the
great success of the farmers at the North,
particularly in the Eastern and Middle
States. Here we can make nothing IN
less we raise cotton. We, as a class,
have a poor opinion of the cereals and
grasses as a money producing means, and
know nothing of making butter and milk,
except occasionally for our own imme-
diate use, content to have our dairy,
| smoke, house and meadows in a far dis
, tant section, and resting satisfied with
any little surplus which may fortunately
| accrue to us from our cotton after set
Ting up at the end of the year, if, per
chance, we are SO successful as to accom-
plish that happy result
Colonel Thigpen, a successful farmer,
makes the assertion that perhaps one
| half of the land In cultivation throughout
the State during the past year has paid
no profit, and then, to be within bounds,
modifies his statement and makes it One-
third-and this is the observation of a
skillful agriculturist upon the means EN-
ployed for many years IN producing the
great staple" There must be some
thing wrong in such a system.
HOW wADswoRTH SUCCEEDED.
A man of intelligence, who was raised
in the country, but settled in a flourish
ing mart in North Carolina, established a
livery stable, and, after following it for a
few years, concluded to buy a farm 10
the suburbs, which plan he carried out,
and yearly emptied has Accommodations OF
stable manure upon Il, at the same time
ploughing his land aoth the heaUiest ploUs
hecouM buy, and raising grain, corn and
grasses. His farming operations were
eminently successful and attracted great
notice. His neighbors, who did not sue
coed so we'll, said everybody could make
fine crops who had plenty Of stable ma
nure and alivery stable to make it, and
hence he deserved no special credit. 1t
was easy for the friends of Columbus to
make the egg stand upon its end after
he had shown them how.
How is 1t that farmers in the Eastern
and Middle States have so much manure
to put upon their lands? Their lands
are certainly no better than ours. In
fact, the soil Of New England was origin
ally the most sterile and, for six months
in the year, are almost compelled to live
indoors yet, with all these disadvan-
tages, their farmers make money, build
fine barns and good dwellings, educate
their children, and at the end of the year
have a surplus. This teaches a~lesson.
Since the mode Of preserving green
crops by ensilaging has been discovered
the plan is comparatively easy. Our
people must have their meadows, smoke
houses and granaries at home. They
must keep more stock, raise more forage
and make their olCH milk. buttc7, corn and
bdcoa. The e~nsilage will raise cattle, the
cattle VIII make the butter, the butter
milk will make the bacon, and the ma
nure will enrich the land, and the sur
plus in cotton will then be en- the right
side, and the farmer can lift his head,
smooth his brow and say amen with
something of the light heartedness of his
earlier and better days.

Blatant Profanity.

Some men are profanely familiar with
God. In the prelude to his lecture of
Febru airy Is, Mr.. Joseph Cook In Boston
said we asked tamely what could be
done about the abolition of slavery.
When God turned 4LoIttt0ntst zee Uere
forced to put oursetueS on HIS side" Such
an expression about the Great God
strikes one as unwarranted, if not bias
phemous. How does Mr.. Cook know
that God stands smiling on the raving
sachems of negro abolitionism, and glories
in being enrolled as one of the truculent
order. He generalizes rashly, as he has
done before about Southern affairs. As
well might God be called, with stentorian
lungs, a Mohammedan. For centuries
the Crescent shone in triumph, while
the Cross went down and still it rises in
bitter and successful hostility to Jesus
If success proves right always-as when
the wicked fiourish-if success is divine,
then God is a Mohammedan, and FL
Mahdi is His vicegerent. While slavery
is a dead issue, still on that subject many
Christians and patriots, as true, pious,
learned and honorable as any men, hold
views quite opposite to those maintained
by Mr.. Cook and other abolitionists, and
DO not enjoy d~enunciations.
Though the prelude is headed Law
lessness, North and South" it looks as
if his animous was TO kick what he is
pleased to term the ''shot-gun dristocracy"
10 these Southern States, all dominated
Gas he emphasizes) by illiteracy. Poll
ties are not discussed in this paper We
advocate and uphold no violence or law
lessness. Yet We repel with contempt
such allegations against the South as a
people; and especially against our Gull
tured, upright and loved leaders in social
and public life. Many of our noblest
aristocracy are at the plow-handle. and
toiling by word and example to build up
our fallen fortunes In Church and State.
Our a%ristocracy rely not on the shot gun
for redemption more than Mr.. Cook him
self. Fanatics, far removed from US. and
unwilling to see the truth, little know
the terrible burden under which the
South labored. and still labors, to some
extent, from what many whether Justly
or not, we do not now argue) regard as
measures of an unjust, rabid and tyran
meal majority. To save life and prop
erty, perhaps extreme means have some
times been adopted. B4i If NJ. Cook.
ct III ma genus, could have been forced
to occupy our position, it is questionable
whether they would have borne .hem-
selves more righteously than the SO.
called shotgun aristocracy.'
