PUBLIC HONORS.
Wilmington Messenger

Col. Pat Donan. who once edited in
North Carolina, and is very pleasantly
and kindly remembered by some of the
surviving editors, is editing the Fargo
Sunday Argus. Replying to a paper
that noticed the big salary of Dana
and said that ''barring the honor, it is
as we'll to be an editor, in some cases as
President the gifted ink-slinger of
the Argus says:
- Barring the honor indeed! The
surplusage u honor is on the side of
the editor every time. The whims and
votes of an unclean mob can make a
Governor or President any day of
the poorest and rottenest material under
heaven or above-the other place.
God alone can make really great
editor.'
We do not like Dana because of his
destitution of principles, but he is a
greater man than two-thirds of the
Presidents. We have never seen
much ''honor" in politics. We have
never seen the day we would not rather
be the editor of a reputable newspaper,
doing conscientiously and faithfully as
we could the duties of the Office. and
earnestly trying to instruct, to bless,
the elevate our fellow men, to help
build up the State and to maintain
civil institutions and organic law from
invasion and corruption. than to be a
member of the House of Representa-
tives. We have long believed with
the English poet Joseph Addison, that

Many have long been dissatisfied
with the cold and stormy climate oi
the North. Printers ink has been
used OF late years, to great advantage.
in advertising the charms and attrac-
tions of our lovely Southland, and,
as a result, thousands are leaving the
rigorous regions of the North, to find
homes under the genial skies of the
South. Never since the stars and
stripes first waved in triumph over "the
land of the free and home OF the brave, "
has there been such a tide of immi-
grafton Southwark.
Farmers are coming to cultivate
the soil, miners to dig from the earth
the wealth it yields, manufacturers for
sites, capitalists for profitable invest
ments, pleasure seekers to revel under
bright skies and enjoy the bountiful
blessings dame nature has bestowed,
and the sick and worn out under the
chilling Northern billiards, to gain
health and strength.
Our skies are bright and sunny, our
climate is as healthy as can be found
on the globe. our transportation facil-
tiles, by RAIL- excellent, our lands
cheap and easily improved, our man
ufacturing advantages unsurpassed,
and our people proverbial for hos
pitalty. Come and look over the
field, and we are sure you will decide
to cast your lot with us. People are
constantly coming here, and we feel
confident our population will soon be
augmented by many from other States,
attracted by our superior advantages.

NEW YORK FARMERS.

A special dispatch from Hornells-
vile, N. Y, to the New York Press,
dated April 22nd, says:
The city is full of farmers to-day,
hundreds of them having come here to
attend the State Alliance. II counties,
embracing total membership of
20, 900, and seven other counties
which as yet have no county organi-
zation, with 5000 more, all represented
by sixty delegates. * x Presi-
dent L. L. Polk, of Washington, called
the Alliance to order in the afternoon,
and used up the greater part of the
time in speaking of the movement in
the South and West. Many questions
were asked him concerning the method
of conducting an alliance, which we're
answered. He completely captivated
the members, and is the most popular
man in the city tonight.
The Press correspondent this after
noon saw President Polk in reference
to the letter written to lieutenant Gov
ernor Jones by his former private
secretary, Rittenhouse. He said: II
know nothing of which this letter
speaks, and l know nothing of the
order which Mr.. Rittenhouse claims to
represent. l have not seen that gen.
tleman since December 2 last, and
have not heard from him by letter or
otherwise for three months. The only
way that can account for his having
my letter heads in his possession is
that he took them my Office previous
to December"

TOBACCO CULTURE.
AND TRANSPLANT
ING.
Some Practical Suggestions from Mr..
F. NJ. Rogers, the Pioneer Tobacco
Planter of South Carolina.

Mr.. F. NJ. Rogers, Jr., the pioneer
tobacco planter of South Carolina,
and who is we'll known to the trade
of Henderson, has been contributing
some timely and Interesting articles
to his home paper the Florence Mes
senger, on the subject Of tobacco cul-
ture. On the subject of fertlizing
and transplanting, he says:
My last article left US with the land
thoroughly prepared, compost heaps Of
woodsmould and cotton seed ready to
be distributed. Lay off the rows three
feet four inches apart. In this furrow
scatter compost; and with it the fol-
lowing fertilizers: 500 pounds acid,
400 pounds cotton seed meal, and, 100
pounds kainit. This mixture, with
the addition of five or six loads stable
manure, put on every acre, with two
burrows on this with turn plow, we
are ready to plant. If the land is to
be planted by hand, make ''pats" by
striking the center of the bed firmly
with the back of a hoe two feet ten
inches apart. If the land is poor it
might be well to give more distance !;
if in good state of cultivation the dis
tance given is about correct. In every
instance, the richer the land or higher
the manuring, the closer the planting
should be, to avoid coarseness. Planting
should commence on the first season,
about the 10th or 18th of April. Let
a girl or boy go ahead of the planter
dropping two rows at time, one plant
on each hill. The setter follows, and
straddling the row, with peg or
narrow paddle about eight inches
long makes the hole, inserts the plant,
and should press the dirt firmly, not
hard, to the roots.
It is not, however, always advisable
to wait for rain. When the plants are
large enough they should be set and
watered artifcially. When this is
necessary, the following plans have
been found most economical: Garry
water to the field in barrels, placing
them convenient distances apart; send
a haud ahead, and punch holes in every
hill with pole bout eight feet long
and sharpened at one end; follow with
buckets of water and dippers, and put
one pint of water in each hill. The
droppers and planters follow as before
directed. Be sure, however, to cover
all the moisture round the plant with
dry earth,
The cultivation of tobacco is similar
to that of cotton or corn, except that
the dirt should always be worked to-
wards the plant-never from it. Plow
with fiat sweep the first time. When
the crop reaches the height of twelve
or fourteen inches, have found the
turn plow to do very effective work,
and especially if the season is likely
to be wet. Usually three hoeings and
three or four plowings will suffice. In
each successive working with the sweep
turn the wings higher each time,
so as to have good bed when your
tobacco is laid by. Commence to cul-
tivate soon as plants have taken root
we'll.

where Mr. Evans was seated. He turned
his head for second when he heard a
shot. Hefaced about and saw Mr.. Evans
hold up the paper with both hands,
and heard him say, Don't Davis; don't" )"
He saw Davis fire again, and Mr.. Evans
fell from the chair forward on his face,
Davis continuing to fire into the body
of the PROSTATE man.
Charles l. White, the man who went in
the store just after the last shot was
fired, says heand Marshal Farmer entered
about the same time. Farmer went to
Davis, who was standing about the
middle of the room. took the pistol from
him and arrested him. White ran to
Mr.. Evans and lifted him up, the dying
man gazed into his face and o gush OF
block issued fromhis mouth. He gasped
and said: "Oh, my God" Again he
gasped and the blood flowed from his
mouth a second time, and in feeble voice
he said; "My God," and his eyes closed
andhis head dropped. He has breathed
his last.

John Hancock.

Mr. ED1ToR:-When Patrick Henry
uttered that memorable expression,
1.-THE next gale that sweeps from the
North will bring the clash of resounding
arms,' he knew such mel as Otis,
Adams and Hancock were preparing
the minds of their countrymen for the
coming struggle for freedom. He knew
they would not shrink from the contest,
however firm and prolonged the struggle.
Well might he say, 'sthere is no re-
treat but in submission and slavery" ;"
The descendants of the pilgrim fathers,
with such a man as Hancock urging
them on, were not going to submit
quietly to aggression. John Hancock
was about the richest man in Massa-
chusetts at the time the question OF re-
sistance to England was agitating the
public mind. No man had more at
stake than he had. The kings officers
seized his sloop .'Liberty'' under the
charge that it contained forbidden
goods" This brought on a conflict
between the opposing parties in which
the English had to retreat in haste to
their port of safety, leaving their
burning ship behind them. Hancock
was one of the party that destroyed the
tea in Boston Harbor. It was a bold
and determined act, but the spirit Of
resistance was strong. He served in
almost every capacity from member
of the General Assembly to that of
Governor. He was president OF the
Colonial Congress when the Declara-
ton of Independence was adopted.
When he affixed his signature to the
instrument in such large and legible
letters, he said, ''the British ministry
can read that name without their spec
tacles.'' A distinguished gentleman
said, s'King George could almost read
it across the Atlantic" He cared
nothing for the offered reward OF the
aggressive foe. He had no concessions
to make to foe that sought to fasten
the chains of slavery on himself and
his posterity. He had no idea OF re-
firing from the contest until the war
cloud should blow over and the bless
ings of freedom should gladden. the
hearts of his countrymen. Like the
renowned hero of old who stood with
his back to huge rock with opposing
foes in front, he could say:
"Come one, come all, this rock shall fly
From its firm bare as soon as /.
I love to think of such noble spirits
as John Hancock who stood at the helm
guiding the Ship of'State over the agi-
tated waves amid the fury of the storm
that threatened to engulf her. He has
a fame as enduring as time. Genera
tions yet unborn will arise and think of
the noble deeds of the great leader that
did so much to liberate his countrymen
from the dominion of foreign power.
The children of the pilgrims should be
proud of the great Hancock whose
voice urged his people on in the darkest
period of the country's history.

WHAT NEXT ?

The New York Press says next to
.what the Republican party has ac-
complished the most satisfactory fea-
- in its history is what it has pro
fassed. From 1854, when the party in
scribed on its banner "Free soil, free
speech and free men," until now, no
principle enunciated by the party has
ever been expunged until it has been
vindicated; and from 1854 until now
there is not a declaration in party
platforms TO hich Repu blican need
turn back with regret or shame.
Secession has been crushed, chattel
slavery abolished, the financial credit
Of the nation established and the pro
lection of American industry main
tanned. The Republican party is not
a party of promise, but of perform.
ance.
With the Democracy, on the other
hand, it has been a curiosity Of politics
TO watch the changes OF alleged
principle from time to time, since the
sage when it held aloft the flag of
avery and passed laws which per-
- ted the hunting down of tugitives
III the free cities of the North, and
since the later period when its organs
howled for peace at any price, even at
the sacrifice of national existence.
BY force of circumstances the Demo-
cratic party has had to repudiate the
principles which it formerly pro-
claimed inviolable, and apparently it
has at length resolved, with much
hesitation and reluctance, to nail to its
mast the flag of free trade. On that
! the Republican party has accepted the
challenge, and is willing to fight out
the campaign of 1892. Meantime it is
evident that the Democracy does not
think the platform sufficiently elabor-
ate. 1t must have another beam to
\ support it. What will it be? All
appearances indicate that it viii be
debased currency in which to pay the
WOrkingman for his labor.
