Ex-CONGREssMAN NORWOOD. Of Geor-
gia, says the Southern negro, as avoter,
is failure, and that the ballot is to him
''toy which he has tired Of" There is
unmistakable evidence in many parts of
the South that the negroes are tired of
trying to vote, but it can hardly be that
familiarity has bred contempt for the
practice. Such massacres as that in
Louisiana a few days ago are apt to
make them tired.

The movement started by the Board of
Trade to make deep boring within the
city limits in further search for natural
gas, or whatever may be found, should
by all means be carried out. The result
of such an enterprise could hardly fail
to justify the outlay, and it might lead
to discoveries of the greatest impor-
lance. Recent developments in this and
other States show that natural-gas res
ervoirs are found at varying depths. At
one point in Ohio great supply has re-
Gently been discovered at a depth of
5000 feet, completely Overthrowing all
previous theories and experience on the
subject. While it cannot be assumed
with certainty that natural gas would be
found here at that depth, it might be,
and there are many reasons for believing
that local exploration has not yet been
pushed as far as it ought to be. A
discovery of natural gas at any depth
within the city limits would be of ines
Unable value, and the mere possibility
of such q thing is enough to justify every
effort in that direction. But even if
natural gas were not found, such a bor-
ing might result in some other valuable
discovery, and would certainly yield a
perpetually flowing artesian well, which
would be worth to the city all it cost.
The fact is, the interior of the earth be-
meath us is an unexplored field. Indian
apolis occupies an interesting section of
country, and discoveries of different
kinds all around us emphasize the i'm
pOrtance of making thorough explora-
ton of the earth in this vicinity to a
depth of at least 5000 or $500 feet. The
boring should be commenced with a dis
tinct understanding that it is to 60 that
depth, unless valuable discoveries are
made sooner. The project is suggestive
of important possibilities, and should by
all means be carried out.

THE discussion of the national flower
question has taken on a decidedly chest
nutty flavor; and, after ALL has amounted
to nothing, and can amount 20 moth
ing, since who is to decide what the

and sensible suggestion made in regard to
the matter was that of some correspondent
of a Washington paper who proposed that
each President should designate his fav-
orite blossom, and that that should be the
Nations emblem while he remained in of

gives all the flowers chance.

WHEN the mother of John Sullivan was
buried, three carriages were required to
carry the floral tributes to the grave. If
ever the floral tribute business was vul-
CARRIED, 1t was in this case. If the friends
of John Sullivan's mother wished to show
their respects to her memory by offerings of
flowers, they had as much right to do so as
other mourners, and it was quite as proper
that such offerings be made IN her case as
in others. But the three carriage loads of
flowers were not given by Mrs. Sulliyan's
friends; they were contributed by the adj
mirers of her son, the slugger; by rouphs.

A merry Christmas to you, Friend,
And happy New Year, too;
May you enjoy all they send,
Is my hearty wish for you,
This Joyous time has once more
Come round to us again;
And it comes alike 20 rich and poor,
AS the sunshine and the rain.
To some, with Joy twill ever fill,
A life already full,
And make the Earth seem brighter still,
When ne'er yet twas dull.
To others tits an oasis green,
In the world s dull stony soil.
And marking only resting place,
In life of barren toll.
This year has lived it's numbered days,
And joined times endless store;
And it's griefs and joys are added too,
To those that are gone before.
Our grand and glorious leaders,
Kings of Nation s make,
Have sacrificed their party,
For truth and honor s sake.
ALI honor to them, just the same,
They did as they thought right;
They are partners IL cur country fame
And render it more bright.
All honor to the Old North State,
From mountains to the sea,
She proves her sons all Democrats
Whate er else they be.
So wei sing the old year to its rest,
And give welcome to the new,
Well laugh and shout with boyish zest,
And welcome Christmas too.
If you are fortune-favored, friend,
And on Christmas joys revel,
Spare moment, now and then,
To think or the printers devil"
Every week of the dying year,
Has found him serving you,
And now he comes with Christmas cheer
To see what you will do.
Ifyou, like him, have worked for pought
And have no cash to pay,
Return his greeting as you ought.
And send him on his way.
But if you can afford mite,
No matter what it is,
May fortune make your Christmas
bright,
AS you will brighten his.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Declaration Of Principles.

Profoundly impressed that we, the
Farmers Alliance, united by the strong
and faithful ties of financial and home
interests, should set forth our declara-
ton of Intentions; we therefore, re-
solve:
To labor for the education of the
agricultural classes, in the science of
economical government, in a strictly
non partisan spirit.
2TO endorse the motto: I'm things es-
sential, unity, and all things, charity.
3 To develop better state, mentally,
morally. socially, and financially.
To create better unders landing for
sustaining civil officers in maintaining
law and order.
3 To constantly strive to secure entire
harmony and good will among all
mankind and brotherly love among
ourselves.
To suppress personal, local, section
al, and national prejudice; all unheal-
thy rivalry and selfish ambition.
The brightest jewels which it gamers
are the tears of widows and orphans,
and it's imperative commands are to
visit the homes where lacerated hearts
are bleeding, to assuage the sufferings
of brother or sister; bury the dead:
care for the widows and educate the
orphans; to exercise charity to often
ders; to construe words and deeds in
their most favorable light, granting
honesty of purpose and good intentions
to others, and to protect the principles
of the Alliance unto death. It's laws
are reason and equity; it's cardinal
doctrines inspire purity of thought
and life; it s Intentions are, peace on
earth good will towards all men.
