How to add STONE 10 Your homestead.

| HOW 10 nuu stone 10 Your Homestead
Cyrus IL. Bates, at present visiting
in England, writes long letter tc
the Boston Journal in which he laws
bare the wage question, showing what
free trade has done for England and
protection for the United States.
We quote brief paragraph:
''But there is an argument used at
home that often carries great weight
to a laboring man. That is, that if
all goods were admitted free the la
boring man could buy his food,
clothes, &C., much less. Granted
for the sake of argument but would
the difference in price you pay for
these things anywhere near equal the
difference in prices of labor, the diff
ference between two dollars to three
dollars per day for skilled labor and
three shillings to four shillings per
day under free trade rule?
Last week a woman in Northern
England (name given if necessary
said to me, 'What a blessed country
America must be. My brother was
unable to earn enough here to supprt
his family. He was cabinet maker.
So he went to America. Works in
Lawrence, Mass, and is sending
home to his wife 50 every week
The English merchants acknowledge
these facts, but many said to me,
with knowing shakes of the head,
1T won't be SO in 20 years. 1t rests
with us whether it shall be so or not,
and if the laboring man votes with the
party that favors protection to Amer
lean industries he is adding one more
stone to the little homestead he is
trying to bnild for himself and family.
| tell you, friends in New England,
they see these things much clearer
over here than we do at home, and
are waiting patiently to see which side
the fence the pear will fall when it
becomes ripe"

MIDNIGHT.

'Tis nights midglory- Earth, SO calm, SO still,
On couch OF space Is wrapped In slumber's spell
HOW SOFT and pure her bosom's rounded swell
Meath fieecy robes, and placid radiance shed
From silver orb, like watchers lamp, o'erhead:
While starry regions dimiy throng and MI
Her airy chamber, whence all sound Is fed
Save breath OF rising prayer, or whr Of wings
As angels viewless pass, or heavenward springs
The guardian who hath wrought the Fathers

Midnight and moonlight, silence stars and God

A Non-rransferable Railroad Ticket.

A young railroad man of Atlanta has
come to the front with an invention in
the way of a ticket that will bring him
fame and an enviable bank account. It
is simply this: The purchaser of an iron
clad ticket is not to be required to write
his name or make any formal declaration
as to his intention in regard to the ticket.
Nothing of the kind. The agent who
sells the low rate round trip points his
little camera at you while he gives you
your change 1t records the image of the
purchaser in an instant. The agent pulls
out the slide. rubs his chemical sponge
over the sensitized paper and-there you
are In the upper left hand corner of the
ticket he pastes that picture. puts it in
under stamp that embosses the edges,
and unless you can find somebody that
looks enough like you to risk the chance
of a return on your image the ticket will
carry the original purchaser and nobody
else.-Atlanta Constitution.

1t was a care-worn beast of burden,
who had long but narrow pasture
on the highway, and he looked over
the fence and addressed a well-fed
horse in rich meadow: "My equine
friend, open the bars and let me in
and will assist you in lowering the
surplus"
GA surplus does not worry me as
much as deficit would" remarked the
horse, as he slowed away some more
clover.
"But look at the blessed law of
competition, and how it would equa-
lie the burden of mastication," said
the stranger.
"There is no competition aboutit, %
remarked the horse. 81 am in the
meadow and you are in the road"
"But," remarked the stranger,
"don't you think few more feeders
would stimulate business?'
"Without doubt, when the feed got
short" slyly remarked the horse.
"Well, but this fence was only a
war measure, and now we are at
peace, why not take it down." the
stranger sighed.
"The fence works tip-top and the
feed gets longer every year jog along,
my friend"
And the stranger picked another
thistle in the road and moved along.
He was free trade ass, with ears
like pair of cavalry bootlegs.-South

THE REGISTERS IMPROVEMENT.

We don't think it is an absolute ne
cessity for us to call the attention of
our readers to the improvement in the
REGISTER this week. for we think they
can see it for themselves But we feel
too proud of it not to refer to it. Such
a handsome new dress of type as we
now wear should not be sighted. 1t
is a. clear and bright as any we have
ever seen. and we feel sure our readers
will enjoy reading it. In another week
or two we will have every line of old
type weeded out of our paper. We
want to shine, and if new material
and careful work will accomplish it,
we cW shine. We have also made a
change in our editorial del artment,
and will give our best attention to
keeping it wide awake and interesting
in this year of politics that we have
now begun.
When we started on our editorial
career we announced our intention of
striving to make the REGISTER one of
the best papers in the State. We will
be- pardoned for saying on our own
behalf that we are surely getting
there" We don't think Shepherds
town folks or Jefferson county folks
need feel ashamed TO compare this
paper with any country journal in the
land. In its editorial conduct, in its
typographical appearance, and its
general makeup, we feel that We have
something TO be proud of, and we
shall steadily endeavor to maintain
high standard in all departments

support We are able to make these i'm
provements, we extend our hearty
thanks, and We trust that our pleasant
relations may be continued. \ first.

the community that supports it than
