It's said of Senator German that
he is SO cool, nervy and self-posses-
sed that it is impossible to surprise
or disconcert him. Were he, in the
midst ola speech, to put. his hand
into his coat tail pocket and find in
it a California earthquake Matching
out Idaho cyclones, he would go on
with his remarks as unconccrned y
as if be had only found a cough drop.

The New Jersey State Board OF
Agriculture met at Trenton and
heard an address by Professor
Chauncev B. Ripley, of Westfield,
New Jersey, favoring the con-
struction by the State of two
good carriage roads across the
State from south to north and
from Newark to Camden. The
roads would cost from two to
five million dollars, which should
be met by a State loan to run at
least twenty years. This is on
the line of a system OF. internal
Improvement which we hope to
see North Carolina enter upon at
no distant day.

ssonEn DEATH OF SECRETARY Wlnoom.

sSDnEa DEATH CT SECRETARY Wlno0M.
A sadder and more dramatic
incident has rarely occurred than
the unexpected death of Mr.. Win
dom, the Secretary Of the United
States Treasury, at the annual
dinner of the New York Board OF
Trade and Transportation on
Thursday night. 1t may be said
of him that he gave his last
breath in the service of the adj
ministration, for he went to New
York to outline the financialpO
icy OF the government, and he
had just done SO in a speech pre-
pared for the occasion when he
was overtaken by death. Mr.
Window was the Secretary oil
the Treasury under President
Garfield, retiring when President
Arthur reformed the cabinet. In
the same position under the pres
ent government, he directed some
very important transactions re-
curing laborous work and en-
failing weighty responsibility
From the accession of President
Harrison, Mr.. Window, like Mr.
Manning, the first Secretary OF
the Treasury under President
Cleveland, was under a continu-
Gus strain, and his sudden taking
off, no doubt due to OverwOrk
furnishes another arning
against imposing the manifold
duties and multitudinous cares OF
the Treasury Department as it
now exists on any one man. The
strain is more than human en-
durance can stand. Mr.. Win
dom's death and Mr.. Manning's
breakdown should call for con
spicuous reform in the depart
ment.
Mr.. Window was about Ga
years old. He was born in Ohio,
but early removed to Minnesota.
He had been much in public life.
From 1859 to 1869 he was in
the lower house of Congress +;
from 1871 to 1881 in the Senate.
After the death of President Gar
field he returned to the Senate,
retiring in 1888. During his adj
ministration of the Treasury I'M
der Garfield he brought forward
the measure to fund certain bonds
of the United States at 4 per
cent, which was successfully ac-
complished, demonstrating for
the first time the ability OF the
government to float it's bonds at
a low rate of interest. He was
an anniable, able man, and gen
orally regarded as broad gauge
statesman. He worked inces-
sanity when in office; never left
Washington to spend the sum-
mer away, as most cabinet off
GERS do, and at his house, after
office hours, he had his private
Secretary and stenographer at
work.

WHAT Is ksasOf! Going !?

WHAT IS ksnSoE! toifG?
The Mecklenburg Times having
remarked that it has not heard
from Senator. Ransom on the
force bill, the tariff bill or the
free coinage of silver, or anything
else In Congress, wants to know
'what.he.is doingin Washington,
anyhow?'
To this the Statesville Land.
mark, in it's usual good form, re-
plies: During the long session of
he present Congress, in short.
last summer, Senator Ransom
was appointed by a Democratic
caucus as one of five Senators to
take the situation as to the force
bill under advisement and report
to their associates ways and
means by which its passage
through the Senate might be re
sisted. We suspect that if the
truth were known it would be
ascertained that he had aboutas
much to do with theresult of the
vote on the closure rule, as any
other single Senator; but if this
is true the facts will never be
given to the public by him-he is
not of that sort. What his per-
snnal influence had to do with
the action of certain of the Re
publican Senator's who voted
with the Democrats Monday, we
cannot undertake to say because
we 40 not know. But we do
know that it has been potential
on former important occasions.
| No; our senior Senator made
no set speech in the Senate on
the force bill, the tariff bill or the
silver bill. But we recall that
he had something to say to the
people of North Carolina last fall
upon these subjects; and tears
streamed down the faces of
strong men as he said it, and
conviction sank deep into their
hearts.
No votes are made in the Sen
ate by speeches. Speeches made
there are intended for their effect
upon the country-for tbs educa-
ton OF the people and for the
political benefit of the gentlemen
who make them. Though none
of his colleagues can speak better,
it is unfortunately the case that
Senator Ransom can rarely ever
be induced to address himself to
them at all-it would be better
for his popularity at home if he
could be.
We do recall, Just at this mo-
meat, however. that for three
days during the long session, just
before the adjournment of Con-
grese last fall, he pressed and for
three days debated, with much
ability, a bill to establish a court
for the adjudi, alton of private
land claims in the Southwest.
He was complimented by a friend,
while on the campaign after
Congress had adjourned, upon
his handling of this question, and
smiled. He gave it to be under
stood, moment later, that he
was at that time merely throwing
obstacles in the way of the force
bill-killing time with the court
bill in order to put the force bill
Just that much further off.

COST OF THE FORCE BILL.

The force bill is being opposed in
Congress because it is unconstitu-
tional, revolutionary, dangerous and
injurious to the best interests of the
country. 1t is not likely that its
probable cost will affect it one way
or the other, but it is none the less
interesting to note what the bill will
call for anG how great tax it will
impose upon the country. In such
matter the Republicans never take
the people into consideration, and
are willing to vote millions away to
advance their party interests.
In his recent speech on the force
bill Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
pointed out that as there are 81 900
voting precincts in the U. S. -and 70
Federal judicial districts, the force
bill will call for the employment of
4O2, 3O5 additional government Off
Gals, at a cost to the people of ST.

We already have too many Fed
eral officials and we spend too much
money for the support of the gov
ernmcnt. The Republican majority
would treble the number of these
officials and vote large sum Of
money for election expenses in the
hope that this will benefit Them
selves. The people who are pro-
testing against of1icialism and ex-
Htravagance will remember the fact
that the Republicans propose to
spend over $1,000, 600 to disturb
the peace of the country.

Mr.. Blaine has the faculty of
doing his political sleeping with
one eye open. and while he is not
saying much he is probably do
ing a great deal of thinking. The
new leaders Of the Republican
party ignored him in the tariff
legislation, and Mr.. Blaine smiled
in his sleep when he heard some
thing drop on Mr.. Mckinley at
the November elections. He is
now Doubtless smiling again at
the discontinue of the same lead
ers in the matter of the force bill.
1t must make him think that the
Republican party mas not yet
found a bigger man than himself
and that he can still give them a
good many points on pratical
politics.

Origin OF Bird Song.

Tfe origin of bird song is described
by al English writer as follows: Bird
song originated in cry produced by
bodily contortion. This cry was devel-
toped by use in times of danger. 1t then
became warniHg-note that was elabor-
ated into a acall-note. This note. was re-
peated by males in varied tone and
pitch and several influences tended to
make it reproduction of surrounding
persistent sounds. The call-notcs were
repeated by the males to tho females,
and in this manner arbitrary phrases
were constructed. Further. efforts on.
the part of the males induced greater
variety, which took the form Of imita-
tion Of other sounds"

The Columbia Daily Calen-
dar.

An old friend in a new dress, and
an article that has come to be one
of the indispensables of an editors
desk, comes to hand in the Columbia
Daily Calendar for 1892. The Cal.
endar is in the form of a pad con.
tanning 367 leaves, each ST Y %
inches; one for each day of the year,
to be removed daily, and one for
the entire year. The day of the
week, of the month, and of the year
are given, and each slip bears a
short paragraph pertaining to eye
ling or some kindred subject. At
the bottom of each leaf is a blank
for memoranda, every leaf being
accessible at any time. The stand
is an entirely new departure, being
made of sheet metal finished in ivory
black, and is very compact. At the
close of the year the stand will be
available for another pad. This is
the seventh issue of this now we'll
known Calendar, yet all the matter
is fresh and new, having been clre
fully collated from leading publica-
tions and prominent writers, most of
it being specially written for this
purpose. Itcomprises notable events
in cycling, opinions of physicians
and clergymon, hints about road
making, and numerous other topics.

A FIEND in human form, or a crazy
man. walked into the Office of mill
lOua.re, Russell Sage, i'll New York
city, last Friday abost noon, and de
manded 100000 Immediately, and
when it was not given to him he
threw ten pound dynamite bomb
on the floor. The explosion was ter
rife, beyond comprehension. A clerk
in the Office was blown out of a win
dow on the street, others we're Sc
verely injured. Sage, himself, was
severely hurt, aud his clothing torn
into shreds, and the fend bomb
thrower, was torn to pieces, frag-
ments of his body were blown out of
the front window into the street.
The largest piece of him was his head
which was cut off close to the neck.
The force of the explosion was up
and down, and off to the sides, shat
tering the building, and shocking the
several thousand people who do bus
mess in it. There was pen mel
rush to escape from the building, nc
one knowing what had taken place
except those in the Sage office. Who
the bomb thrower was remains to be
learned 1t may sound somewhat bar,
bariau like to say it, but the only
good thing in the whole transaction,
W $ the fact that the bomb thrower
was blown to pieces. His stsnd-and'
deliver demand, was that OF the high
wayman, and if all the highwaymen
when they play their game would
Just manage to blow themselves to
pieces. they would do that much
good in this world, aud rid society
of their fendish presence.
