Senator Ransom is ever wide awake
to the interest of North Carolina. if he
does not mo, e in somewhat quiet wa, .
The Senate yesterday agreed to the fol
lowing committee amendments to Il G
river ld harbor bill: to increase Il q
appropriation fer the Cape Fear ut and
below W lining! On, from 100000 10
300, 600; for Cuntentnea Creek, from
81, 600 to 1000: for Neuce river up to
Smithfield. from $l2 900 to 100000 and
for, Mackey's creek. from $4,000 to
$4,000. Of course this is Ransom &
work. He generally gets there when

the victories Of his rival would not
permit him to sleep. l leave this
branch Of my subject lest I arouse
the jealousy Of my brethren.
And I must condense. There is
joy in the heart of the country .editor
when after the church festival. the
ladies come around and ask for bis
bill; when the commencement season
is over; when he is told of the death
Of the man who comes up and reads
his exchanges to him.
But as suggested by my subject
and atmitted at the outset. he has
his sorrows too. There are times
when the grasshopper is @ burden.
The FIRST cotton bloom and tho 6rst
cotton boil, the egg with the crooked
neck and the man with the first
strawberry Of the season, demand
elaborate notice; the chickens with
four legs and a double back, and tha
calf with three legs and An eye in the
top Of it's head, clamor for recogni-
ton. The advertising agent who
wants top Of column on the local page,
With reading matter ON both sides and
followed by reading, and wants it at
half-price less Is per cent, bars the
editors way to strictly religious
life. The subscriber sometimes waits
on him with hickory stick and the
sheriff is not always gracious.
But the bitterness of these memo
ries fade under the influence Of Dur
hams good cheer and in the compan,
of each other and of Durham's 8 charm
ing people.
Now gravely, my country brethren,
I admonish you to magnify your joys
and minimize your sorrows, and to
realize the dignity Of your calling
You have o mission peculiarly your
own and minister to people who
weigh your words. There was never
time when you. responsibilities to
society were greater or when it was
more necessary for US 10 be steadfast,
immovable. At this period, when,
as it would seem, q social revolution
is upon US, when prejudice is about
being enthroned in the seat ofreason.
l commend to you the words of Sen
eca's pilot: 80 Neptune! you may
save me if you will; you may SINK me
if YOU will; but whatever happens, ]
shall keep my rudder true"

You know the lecturer who had for
his subject, "Snakes in Ireland" ex.
hausted it in the six words: "Thers
are no snakes in Ireland" It is not
given to me to escape so lightly. for
though the.e be no snakes in Ireland
there be joys and sorrows in the cup
editorial in lredell.
The assignment to me Of the sub
ject in hand, take to be compli-
ment to my capacity for condensation
for TO be sure the oil in the cruise
would run out with the petience OF nv
hearers should undertake to tell all
that / and my fellow -bondsmer know
Of "The Joys and Sorrows of the
Country Editor" especially the latter;
and moreover, what is now comedy
might become tragedy. as in tho case
Of the Roman Emperor who ,dwelt
with such power upon the sorrows of
life that many Of his hearers went out
and destroyed themselves.
With reference to the joys which
brighten the life of the rural journal
ist, there are certain popular misap-
prehensions which am glad t" have
this opportunity to correct. To be
able to 'jefr' tho printers Saturday
evening out OF weeks wages, is
one peculiarly his own. but in the
main his joys are not different from
those of other men To open a lot
ter which he feels in his bones con-
tains dun, and to find postal note
from a subscriber who is three years
in arrears, awakens sensation
which can be compared to nothing
except the stern joy with which be
halls the appearance of q load of
fuel brought in by wood subscri-
ber when the snow is falling and the
printers are setting type by. fire
made of bound volumes of the Con-
gressional Record. Yet other men
have found agreeable surprises in
the mail and others have been cold
(though not this summer) and have
been warmed again.
AS the strong man rejoices in his
strength. so does the country editor
in his influence l, even l. have the
power Of control over men. No lon.
ger ago than last Saturday afternoon
I attended primary. There were
four men Ill it who waited to see
how l voted and then they went
and voted the other way. I have in
time taken my public opinion moui-
der from behind my ear and advoca-
ted the claims of a certain man in Of
fce and carried every township in the
country against him. In all the
range of my acquaintance I do not
know of but one other man who I
believe could beat this record. He
is a country editor, too. In ancient
Greece an Anthenian general said

ances. And if persistently bored by
those who find pleasure in see.
ing all things at cross purposes and all
people more or less scoundrels unde-
tected, she does her best to mitigate
what she cannot prevent. She has
strong principles, but she is not an
active proselytizer. She lets 9TH
ers think for themselves, and,
only when called on to testify
raises her own private flag aloft. She
knows the difference between constancy
and aggression, which, with the courage
of her opinions, has also the modesty OF
reticence. She treats the servants as, in
a certain sense, her friends, her child
ren, while still keeping the reins of
home government in her own hands.
But they all know when they do their
duty she will reward them, or, at least
recognize by kind word and hearty ac-
knowledgement that they have done
well, and when they neglect it she will
rebuke them. She will be neither in
different on the one side, nor remiss on
the other; and thus her househald feels
and knows that her eyes are open and
her heart is warm.

London Cemeteries.

From the Chicago Post:
This is the alarming extent to which
London has allowed her cemeteries to
become overcrowded, according to the
Medical Press of that city: The sani-
tary committee of the London county
council has reported that no time should
be lost in closing burial grounds such as
the Brompton, which contains 1861
600 bodies, and the Tower Ham
let's cemetery with its 247,00 bod
les crowded into only seventeen
acres. The average grave is 7x3
feet, and contains eight adults and
fourteen children, the covering of each
being about one foot. In one instance
committee OF inquiry regarding this
cemetery found eighty infants in grave
or trench of less dimensions than that of
an average grave. There are twenty-one
burial places, with total extent of less
than 300 acres, holding Ia million
bodies. The soil in most of these places
is clay, and the process of decomposition
goes on SO slowly that bodies buried for
a dozen years remain remarkably well
preserved.

THE Pine Tree state seems to be we'd
ded to her political idols as tenaciously
as ever any worshiper of a miserable
fetch was. Whatever we may think of
Gar Reed, there is no doubt the
rank and file OF his party is at his
back. His policy is that the majority
must rule, and rule in such a way as to
override every right the minority
may claim. In his view the minor
ity has no rights; with Reed it is
we victis as completely as with the
most heartiess old Roman that ever
triumphed over a fallen foe. The min
ority may object to these despotic
methods of this modern Tarquin, but
the majority seem to endure the tyr
amy with an equal mind. Reed is a
most powerful influence in his party,
as it is in it's depraved condition at this
time. Republicanism is going to seed
in these latter days, and Reed is the
seed pod Mr.. Blaine has met the man
who is to succeed him, before he was
half ready to retire. Reed rules Maine
hereafter.

In THE interest of the taxpayers we
wish to point out nice little job that
occurred on the sewer work in this city.
On the Grand-avenue sewer there were
employed one inspector on "invert," +"
one inspector on 'arch." one inspector
on mortar, one chief inspector, (E. Fl.
Hutchinson, present Republican nomi-
nee for street superntendenD; and to
direct these numerous inspectors there
were two engineers. Yet this sewer
work averaged only $50 feet per day. 1t
is also fact that this army of inspect
ors on two days had but two brick layers
TO inspect! The grand jury might look
into this matter, and can secure the
dates whenever applied for. There
might perhaps be some excuse for this
multiplication of inspectors if the work
had been done in accordance with
specifications. But it is fact that the
mortar did not contain the proper per-
centage OF cement, and the inside plas-
tering was four to enc of cement instead
of two to one. If Hutchinson, as chief
inspector, could be party to this kind
of abuse, what will he not do as street
superintendent if elected? Mr.. Nc
Nally, the Democratic nominee, has
made a reputation for honesty, capacity
and superior work as builler, which
will guarantee the people against his
permitting this kind Of shenanigan in
street work.

THE delegates to the United States of
the Irish Nationalists met yesterday in
Chicago and, with only one dissentient
voice, declared against the continuance
OF Parnell as leader, and severely CEN
sured his attack upon Gladstone, Nor
ley and the English Liberals in his re-
cent manifesto. The result of this de-
liberation will be received by the
meeting OF the Irish leaders in London
today, and will accentuate the attitude
of the majority there who are in favor
of deposing Parnell. We would like to
be able to reconcile Parnell's persist
ence in trying to hold the leadership Of
the Irish party, in spite of what has
happened, to mental alteration; but
his spiteful manifesto and his declara-
ton that he will, if the vote goes against
him today, head the minority and treat
the majority as usurpers, and then ap-
peal to the Irish people, shows that he
has become desperate, and prefers to
ruin the cause of his country rather
than yield to the inevitable. That is
not the kind of stuff true patriots are
made Of

MOND DECEMBER L, 1890.
THE ELECTION TODAY.

AS there never has been municipal
election in this city in which tickets,
issues and men have been so chaotic
ally mixed up, so there never has been
one in which there will be more scratch
ing, more voting at cross-purposes, and
less regard for party lines, than in
the election to take place today.
The Republican party, in spite of the
fact that the people OF this city have for
the past year been denouncing the exist
ing city government for its lavish ex-
penditures, its autocratical disregard
of the protests of Taxpayers against it's
premature public improvements, its
grants OF enormous corporation fran
chises in spite of all opposi-
tion by the people and its general
defiance of public opinion, has presented
for the sudrages of the voters practically
ticket COMPOSED OF the same men who
have been thus justly denounced. This
shameless defiance should alone secure
the defeat of the Republican ticket.
The Democratic ticket, with the ex-
ception of the nominee for mayor, is a
much safer ticket than the Republican,
and most OF its nominees are better
qualified in every respect to fill the Of
fees than their opponents. And when
we come to the candidates for council
there are names on the Democratic
ticket that should receive every inde-
pendent vote in their respective wards
We also commend the voters to give
careful scrutiny to the nominees for
members of the board OF education.
There are some very excellent names in
the Democratic list.
No Democrat is required by the rules
Of his party to vote for Ling, because he
has always, whenever it suited his pur-
pose, turned tail upon the party. The
city central committee has seen fit to
issue circular, in answer to the HER
AIDS citation of this well-known char
acteristic of Ling, in which it vouches
for him as ''a true Democrat" This is
an amazing responsibility to take in the
face OF the fact that Ling himself deposed
in the contest of Lynch vs.. Vandever
that he worked all day in the White
House precinct in 1886 against certain
Democratic candidates. But Ling is up
for mayor. What right has he to COM
plain ii Democrats vote against him
when he openly worked against Bryson
when he ran for mayorr
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-01

pretend to be Democratic, and Lownes's
name is substituted for Dockweiler. The
Republican ring will go to any length to
elect Lownes, for as the present deputy
of Mr.. Eaton. he will carry out the pol
icy of the ring in sewer and other mat
ters. This is one of the most important
officers to be voted for today, and the
people will consult the best interests of
their pockets by having new deal in
this department. Mr.. Dockweiler is a
competent engineer and an honest man,
who will enter into no cabal or con-
spiracy to cinch the taxpayers. Look
well to your tickets.

The Color of Trout.

The color of trout's back depends on
the color Of the bottom of the river, but
the trout which grow rapidly differ
greatly in spots and color from those
which grow slowly and thrive badly
and middle aged trout differs in color
from an aged trout. Speaking general
ly. the young, healthy, fast growing fish
will have silvery sides, white belly and
plenty of well defined spots. The poorly
fed fish Will have few or no spots, a drab
belly and muddy yellow sides. The old
trout will be much the same in appear
ance, only more so, and will be particu-
larly lank and large headed. This accounts
for those trout which have access to salt
water being brighter and more beautiful
than others which do not. The variety
and abundance of their food make them
so.-American Angler.
