Sham Reform.

The democracy are doing great bust
ness in the way of reform. They are re-
forming republicans out of Office and
democrats in as fast as they can. The
President has issued his order in the
name OF reform, instructing officeholders
to keep away from caucuses and conven-
tons, but the ofliceholders manage eau.
cuses and conventions just the same since
the issuing of the order as before. Col
lector Redman made speech in the dem
ocratic convention at Ellsworth the other
day without having the least fear of the
''pernicious activity" order before his
eyes The Vermont Democratic State
Convention was entirely managed by
officeholders Mr.. Holman OF Indiana,
who has been renomnated for Congress,
secured his nomination and hopes to get
his election by offices, promises, patron
age, whiskey. and the largest amount of
'pernicous activity. and yet Mr.. Hol-
man is leading member of President
Cleveland's reform administration.
The most recent stroke of reform, how
ever, by the democratic party, is in the
method of raising funds for campaign pur-
poses. Its leaders are too virtuous to
assess the officeholders, and so they have
got up democratic text book at 81 a
copy, the circulation OF which they expect
will bring in dollars enough to fill the
treasury to OVERLOOKING. When this book
is placed before a clerk he is expected to
take copy and paw tor it, if he fails to
do this he will doubtless be a marked man
and his place will be needed for some
other person.
This last step in democratic reform is
very ingenious. The party will expect to
reap a double benefit from it First. they
will claim to have abolished the assess
ment system. Second, they will accom-
plish in an indirect, evasive, sneaking
manner, the same purpose tor which the
assessment plan was employed. OF the
two the assessment plan is the least OBJ.
iectionable, but if that were used where
would the claim of democratic reform

A boomerang.

The New Age could not have done a
better thing for the republican party than
the publication of the two columns OF
SANDER which it publishes this week
against Mr.. Bodwell and other prominent
republicans, and against the citizens OF
Hallowell including the employees OF Mr..
Bodwell. This article will prove boom
erang of large force and effect. 1t SIAN
ders Mr.. Bodwell because he is the re-
publican candidate for Governor: it SLAM
ders others of the best citizens OF the
place because they are active in support OF
Mr.. Bodwell it ISLANDERS the Baptist
church it ISLANDERS the employees OF Mr.
Bodwell, many of whom are Knights OF
Labor; and it ISLANDERS the Rev. Mr.. Den
nett OF Wayne, who was nominated as
candidate for Congress by the third party
prohibtionists and declined the nomina-
ton.
The effect of this will be seen in the
increased republican majority in Halo
well on election day. Our sister city will
resent at the polls the ISLANDERS cast upon
the place and some of its best citizens, and
especially will Mr.. Bodwell's employees
resent the SANDER upon them. And its
effects will not stop with Hallowell. 1t
will be felt in all parts of the State
among Mr.. Bodwell's friends and decent
men of every party who are in favor of
fair play, decencv and honesty in cleo
tons.
1t is easy TO see that NJ. bennett is as
sailed because he refused to be candi-
date of the third party. The New Age is
as much interested in that party as in the
democratic party. understanding it to be
only an annex to the democratic party. If
we are not mistaken Mr. bennett and his
friends and many who were inclining to
the third party will rise mp in
judgment against the New Age and
its unhallowed course on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. From what we learn of Mr.. Den
nett he is not man to sit down tamely
under the insult placed upon him. He is
power in the communities where he has
labored and is known, and will be felt
against the party which abuses him be-
cause he would not be its candidate against
his honest convictions of right and duty.

WHAT SHALLpB BE DONE?
RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 1, 1885.

The situation of our Farmers and
more especially of those in the Eastern.
Counties, is a serious one. With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else in the
same proportion, it is doubtful whether
our people can make cotton at all
with the old method. Thousands of
thoughtful men all through the
South are considering earnestly this
question: WHAT SHALL BE DONE?
With prices of their products way down
duced in. the same proportion, what
shall be done to feed the family, buy
clothes and send the children to school
during this New Year? All this time
sensible men are cutting down every ex-
pense and resolving that they will make
more at home. Milk, meat, vegetables
must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved corn, oats and grass
must be provided for the horses, COWS
and hogs, High-priced fertilizers and eve
ry extra thing are entirely out of the
question. The wise mar will buy the
cheapest and best ingredients only and
make fertilizers at home this year.
At this time, THE NORTH CARROLL
MA PHOSPHATE COMPANY, an ex-
clusively North Carolina.C Company, work
ing nothing but North Carolina material,
wants to inform the prudent men just
described how they can help themselves
and help a home enterprise by buying
LINE PHOSPHATE, the cheapest Phos-
phate ever sold in North Carolina. 1t is

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Insdaysy gone byTa citizen of De-
troit who has lately been gathered
to his fathers was a justice of the
peace for one of the townships of
this county. One day as he sat in
his office with nothing to do a friend
came along with a young horse.
The squar was somewhat conceited
on the horse question, and when
informed that the equine before him
would let no man ride him, he at
once determined to accomplish the
feat. A crowd gathered, a saddle
was brought, and his honor pres
entity found himself astride of the
beast. The next thing he knew he
was lying in a muddy ditch, and a
dozen men were laughing to kill.
"I declare this court in session."
yelled his honor, as he struggled up.
At this there was a fresh burst of
laughter, and he continued:
"And each and every n of you
Is fined So for contempt of court!'
They laughed harder than ever,
but the fines were recorded and col
lected, and for years after it was I'M
derstood that court was in session
except when the squar' was in bed
and asleep.-Detrot Free Press.

HI CANAL.

The protector of the Panama
canal and the President OF, the com
pany estimated the cost of the work
at $120,0O0,00O, and delared at the
outset that it could be completed
in 1888. In May last, the com
pany had raised $111,375,O 900 nearly
all of which had been spent, and its
obligations amounted to $153,238,-
600. 1t had only begun the work
Of digging the canal. By it's own
admission less than 13,0O0,O 900 meters
of earth had been removed, while
the entire cube of excavationsrepre-
sented 100000 600 meters. More
over, the digging had been confined
to earth near the surface, and the
more difficult part of the work had
not been touched. In the opinion
of Engineer Menocal, the work
done did not represent more than
4! per cent. of the total cost Of eX-
cavation alone, to say nothing OF
the cost of controlling the Chagres
River and of improving the harbors.
Nevertheless, the company has
spent 800, 600, 900 and was paying
interest on liabilities amounting to
$153, 600, 600. Now M. de Lesseps
calls for $14, 600 from his share
holders, and proposes to issue bonds
for S12O, 600, 900 more.

unrepealed law of New Jel


An unrepealed law of New Jer-
sey passed while the State was a
British colony, reads as follows F.:
"That all women, of whatever age,
rank, profession or degree, whether
virgins, maids or widows, who shall
after this act impose upon, seduce
and betray into matrimony any of
His Majesty's subjects by virtue of
scents, cosmetics, Washes paints,
artificial teeth, false hair or high
heeled shoes, shall incur the penalty
of the law now in force against witch
craft and like misdemeanors."
The immense new granite build
ing devoted to the State, War and
Navy Departments at Washington
is nearing completion--that is to say
will pretty certainly be finished
within two years. It has already
cost about 5000, 900 and when
completed will foot up at least So
100000. It is the largest granite
building in the world and covers
about four acres and a half or an
acre more than the Capitol! There
will be more than twenty acres of
flooring, and the pipes will stretch
nearly forty miles in a straight line.
It comprises four wings, and is per-
fectly fire proof.
