1t is matter of great surprise to see
how soon the American peoples native
genius adapts itself to the occasion and
brings order out from chaos, civilization
out from wilderness and schools and
churches and their attendant blessings
from a small beginning. No sooner does
community get settled anywhere than
their native genius, their desire for adj
vancement and their unsieeping energy
are all put to work in harmonious con-
cert TO bless and grow and beautify,
and nowhere is this trait so often and SO
easily observed as in a new country,
characteristics said to be the most
marked in the Panhandle and No Man 5
Land communities.

Senator Cullom seems bent upon mo-
nopolizing the attention OF congress with
his postal telegraph scheme. He would
serve the people he represents and of the
country at large infinitely better by sit
ting an idle spectator while the senate
proceeds with business matters of vital
concern to all.

From the report telegraphed from
Topeka it seems that Judge PETER will
not have a walk-over in the matter OF
securing the position of secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture soon to be
vacated by Mr. Sims. Our neighbor,
Col. ST. Clair, of Belle PLANE, SHES his
castor into the arena. and Will contest
the appointment with Judge PETER.
Col. st. Clair is veteran in the service
of practical agriculture, as well as in
that department OF the state govern
ment, having served ten years as a mem
Der of the state board. His practical
knowledge of the science of farming
and long experience in the management
of affairs devolved upon the board give
him fitness for the position of secretary
not excelled by any one. These are facts
known to the appointing power, whether
they avail anything in making the APP
pointment or not.

There seems to be a strong sentiment
in favor of the proposition to try prohi
bition in the District of Columbia before
attempting any national legislation on
that subject 1t is urged that the condi-
tons are more favorable in Washington
than in any other large city. The city
has no politics of its own, its citizens
not being allowed to vote. hence the Is
merits. 1t certainly could not be made
an occasion for partisan advantage there
and could not be involved III partisan in
tereSts that would prevent a fair trial.
The government of the District of Co
lumbia is under the direction of Con-
eresS. and if prohibitorv law
We're enacted the men charged with
its enforcement would be amenable to
no party Sentiment and to no authority
except the power that controlled them,
Ii prohibition can be enforced in any
large town. ii ought 10 be able 10 be en-
forced in Washington 1t Is not known
vet whether or not there is a sentiment
favorable to such a law there. or
whether a majority of the people would
cheerfully comply with 1t. 1t certainly
is a good subject for discussion, and
those prohibitioniSts who want the gov
eminent 10 take hand in the new re-
form are very anxious that it should
make the trial there. However. our no
ton is that congress viii not do any
thing of the kind: that is, not the pres
ent congress. or any other wherein the
Democrats have a majority.

SO il has come to that in free America
where public Office is (or has been re-
garded) a public trust" that bureau in
a department is transformed into an
almshouse. Commissioner Atkins, of
the Indian bureau, admits as much III
denying the report that he intended to
resign that position when he says: u
have no such intention. | can't well live
without being in some office. and | am
getting too old to go at anything else
Generally speaking, | am quite well sat
isfied here and have not expressed any
intention of resigning? We dare say
that if the government should remain in
the hands of the present regime another
four years, many an eX-COnfederate
would be provided with the same sort Of
pension, in the dispensing of which the
law provides that worthy and well quail
fed ex-soldiers of the Union army shall
be given preference, and which has been
faithfully observed under Republican
administrations. The statement of the
facts and conditions is the strongest COM
mentary thereon that can be submitted.

tain: LIST. The money is there; and
I'd. there is no use for it.
Are the people willing to keep in
power party that thus reckless
grinds from their hard earnings
such vast sums Of money We
think not.
Let North Carolina, then, see to
it that her full duty is done towards
securing the success of the only
party that will bring the Federal
government to the same strict econ
omy the State government uses.
But think for moment what a
vast sum sl50,OO0,0O0is. lift were
in silver it would require $4,000
horses and mules and wagons to
haul it to Raleigh, twice, as many
as there are in all the country, and
after it got there no building could
be found to hold it. Why, there
would be enough Of 1t, and more
than enough, to lay a double row Of
silver dollars along every railroad in
the State; enough to lay a double
row Of them all around the State;
being much more than enough to
buy every foot of land in North
Carolina at its assessed valuation.
Think of it, North Carolina tax
payers!
A surplus revenue is a public nui-
sance. II gives TO the government
a dangerous control over the mon
eytary affairs Of the country. and a
control almost certain to be used for
the promotion Of party purposes. 1t
takes productive capital from the
hands of the owners, and vests it in
hands where there is every tempta-
ton to use it uselessly if not VIC
iously. The world has never known
a government so pure that it would
not become corrupt if a surplus rev.
enue were permanently placed at its
disposal.
Let North Carolina, then, see to
it that her full duty is done towards
securing the success of the only
party that favors the destruction Of
surplus by reduction Of taxation.

A CORRESPONDENT of the News
Observer tells US that John Nichols
and 7. r. Purnell opened their can
vass in Alamance county, .at Lea's
Store, in Pleasant Grove township,
on Monday. Thecorespondent goes
on to say: This is a Republican
township and after beating the
bushes and covering all the public
places with hand-bills they were
greeted by six negroes, four white
Republicans andtwo Democrats; the
last two being there for the purpose
Of asking division Of time in the
speaking. Johnny and Tommy
looked sick and when they hear from
Alamance in November next Johnny
will be past recovery. They drove
OF to their next appointment with
out speaking at all. The SIX ne
groes and four whites went away
disappointed, and the two Democrats
followed the footsteps of Johnny
and Tommy very much amnsed at
the air Of disappointment manifest
ted BY the two distinguished and
magnetic Republicans"

Ma. HARRIsoN's idea of dis
posing of the surplus is that 1T
should be used in the purchase of
bonds" That is good financial wis
dom. A Republican administration
funded the bulk of the debt in bonds
that are not now redeemable and
that can only be bought now at a
premium approaching thirty per
cent. and the people are now to be
taxed a hundred and thirty dollars
to pay each hundred dollars of debt.
No doubt it would be better to spend
the surplus in this way than to give
it away or than to keep it locked up,
but it would be better still not TO
collect any surplus.

The Third Partyites seem to be
dividing among themselves as to
whether Prohibition or Woman Suf-
frage is the dominant issue in ma
tional politics" Their party plat
form says Prohibition is, and so
says General Fisk in hisletter of ac-
ceptance; but Prof. Samuel Dickie,
Chairman of the National Commit
tee Of the Prohibition Party, thinks
there is greater evil to overcome
than the liquor traffic-namely, the
subsection of women. Mr.. Dickie
speaks out thusly: lam profound
ly convinced that for women to be
unrepresented in the Government
at this late day in the nineteenth
century is a relic Of savagery re-
naming to us from the age Of ply
steal force more barbarous and more
harmful than the liquor traffic."

WHAT Is NEEDED in Texas and
other portions Of the Southwest ter
rorized by highwaymen and train
robbers is a few more women like
Mrs. Lizzie Hays, Of Banndero
county, Texas. Mrs. Hays not only
knows how to shoot, but dares to
shoot. A masked highwayman pre-
scented himself at her house one
morning recently, when she told him
to leave or she would kill him. He
didn't believe she meant business
until she had snapped her gun at
him. He then tried to kill her, but
in the battle which ensued her tardy
needle gun was induced to 20 off
with such good effect that the rob-
Der went of, too, with a bullet in his
thievish body. Mrs. Hays bullet
was like the gun from which it was
fired, a little slow in getting in its
work, but by the time the robber had
ridden twenty miles it finished him
and saved the hangman a job.

Not satisfied with furnishing most
delightful example Of harmony to the
Republicans of this state. the Ramsey
county democracy, after having first
held its anti boss convention, now is
sues a circular denouncing their dear
friends and brothers as scheming trick
sters, and fully recognizing that M
and Mike are yet somewhatto strong
to be thrust overheard by q handful OF
eager reformers they appeal to the fair
mindedness of the rest.
The whole movement clearly portrays
in what sad dilemma the democrats
at headquarters are, and it is apparent
that the hatred now existing for each
other will never be forgotten in time to
enable concerted action for the state
campaign.
Thisis strongly in contrast with the
for here tits but the aspira-
tons of few .preminents, which
furnish subject for debate, while the
party as whole is falling quietly and
in determined fashion into line to ex.
ert Itself for Minnesota's welfare, which
will most surely be secured by the cleo
ton of their candidate.

Reports from the south indicate that
the colored troops will fight this year
for Cleveland and Thurman. They
have endured too long the bondage in
which they have been held by the g. o.
psf. PETER HERALD.
If we have ever read q democractic
assertion which savors of brazen eff
frontery it is the above of our st. Peter
contemporary. Why gentleman, what's
up Have you nothing else to cast
windward except such spiritless and
ridiculous statement
Not alone that the grand old demo-
cratic party has for the most part the
hearty assistance of the former slave
: bolders and copper-heads, it has also
denied the black of the south the right
of free ballot. These are facts. and
stern ones too, and we would caution
all to carefully consider these enthusi-
astic, bombastic enunciations so liber-
ally bestowed on a smiling, better edu-
Gated public.
Never before in the history of the
rand has it been the happy lot of any
one American to be so honored as is
General Harrison by the unabating
throngs of visitors of all classes and
stations in life, which pay him homage.
1t is demonstrated that the people re-
cognize what is at stake. and popular
opinion asserts itself most clearly and
eloquently in this wise. And what a
difference is there between the two can
didates! The democratic demagogue,
politician, backed by the united efforts
of scheming office seekers, travels over
the country in pompous array, visiting
every western metropolis and exhibiting
himself as the only on earth.
Yet Harrison, who has infinitely more
claim for the support and esteem of the
people, stays modestly at home.
Cleveland sought and battered the
masses; in Harrison's case the masses
sought and battered HIM.
