Let the Governor Help!

and label it North Carolina" if no
other man or individual donates a penny.
But TIE GLOBE hopes, and 50 do we,
that there will be a great many more pen

contributed for this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this to be brought
about 1t occurs to The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing a start. A powerful adj

pie to a full realization of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
Ously represented at Chicago as to at
tract the attention of a gOodly percen-
We are not going to anticipate the gov

only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be a curious COM

to see what the furthermost nations of

upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER

known-grcatest not only as a show,
but as a means Of making money Of adj.

NOW sow WHEAT.

The election is over and it Is now
IN order to pay immediate attention
to the wheat crop. Much time has
been lost this fall by reason of the
political excitement and the work of
| The campaign; and tie sooner far
| mers begin to make things move for
the next crop the better. They
have been especially favored this
| season with pleasant weather in
which to gather their crops, and re
cent rsia prepared the ground to re.
ceive the wheat. Now let the far
mers plant their wheat at once.
There Is no time lost, but the sooner
it is planted now the better.
The DEMoCRAT mas been asked a
number of times tbs year if the far
mers are going to plant wheat, and
we have invariably answered tbat
they are.
We have reasons for believing
that they are. They have tried cul~
tivating money crop exclusively
until they haY5 found that they are
gettingzin g worse condition all the
while instead Of getting better
They have tried cotton for many
years. Of late years they have tried
peanuts and tobacco, but in the end
1t has been demonstrated to them
| that nothing will keep them in as
! good shape as to have all they need
in the way of provisions at home in
their own barns, cribs and smoke
houses. And The DEMOCRAT be.
lievee they are going TO act upoa
] their conviction.
AS to mills, there will be plenty
Of them to make good -four if the
farmers will just plant wheat enough
to Justify come enc to pat them IN.
A plenty or wheat Will call for
good mills and the farmers have it
in their power to bring good mills
| into operation.
There is no more time to lose.
But some one saws he has tried wheat
| once and made failure and so is
| afraid to try it again. Well, hasn't
he tried cotton several times win
the same result? And hasn't he
| tried peanuts and come out with a
short crop? Let farmers do as much
for their wheat land as they do for
their cotton and peanut land and
they will succeed in making wheat
just as we'll as they do in making
cotton and peanuts.

WE STICK TO IT.

On 18th Of November 1885, just
after CIevelands defeat for the
presidency, we gave the following
opinion edltoriallg in this paper:
"Our candid opinion is that up to
the moment when Mr.. Cleveland

tariff message, his election was a.
sure as his nomination at st. Louis.

way. But all the other causes Ia
ken together would hardly have de-
featcd him had it not been for his
position on the tariff.
"Ihere were several causes to
work his defeat, but we believe
that the great fist that gave force
to them ali was none other than his
tariff message"
Such was The DEMOCRATS oplns
ion tour years ago and such is our
opinion still. We believe that Mr.
Cieveland's message defeated HIM
in 1883 and we believe it elected
him in 1892.

TRAvERs' SOLITARY LIFE.
Over Twenty Years He Existed on q
Little Alaskan Island

Little Alaskan Island
PTTrsBURG, Feb. I'm. Travers, a mem
Der OF prominent Boston family, has been
brought all the way from Alaska In irons
and will be confined in a Baltimore mad
house. He was in charge OF Deputies Will
lam F. Durno and Emory NJ. Foster OF
washington. They told a romantic and
sad story Of Travers' life to Pittsburg re-
porter.
Travers IS about 50 years old, and when
Il years OF age entered the union army. He
served with distinction, and received a
DuiIet wound in the head that in later years
aHected his reason. At the close OF the
war ne entered the navy and soon after,
while the vessel was In the harbor Of Sitka.
Alaska. he was discharged.
A short distance of from shore is the
island OF Japonsky, which Travers pre-
empted, and was ever after known as the
Duke OF Japonsky. There he spent his time
IN writing poetry, reading aud raising vege-
tables. The deputies found in his cabin a
large library composed exclusively of Latin,
Greek and the English classics. He fell in
love with sister of Katta Ann, a native
Alaskan chief, noted for war>like cunning,
and the marriage afterward proved impor-
tant for both the English and American
residents.
In 1867 a wholesale massacre of the whites
WIS planned, but Iravers on the eve of the
proposed slaughter secured delay Of one
day, and the next morning an American
man-of-war arrived in the harbor. A few
months later another revolt was feared.
No American vessels were In the harbor,
but an appeal for help reached the Osprey,
a British war vessel, and it arrived in time
to prevent bloodshed.
Although the transfer of Alaska to the
United States had been completed, the peo-
pie OF Sitka were SO grateful that as a
measure of courtesy it was proposed that
the English flag be hoisted to the top of the
flagstaff, which stood on the public square
This would mean the temporary lowering
OF the stars and stripes, which Travers,
with two revolvers in hand prevented.
For over twenty years he lived on his
little island, attracting no unusual atten-
ton. Last October he became SO violent
that his relatives in Boston and the author
tiles at Washington were notified, and
Messrs. Foster and Durno were sent to
Alaska to bring TraveFs back with them.
They left Sitka on Jan. 10, and while on
the voyage down the coast Travers became
80 violent that it was found necessary to
put him in irons and sometimes gag him,
because his language was SO vile. His
relatives will pay for his Keeping in the
Baltimore institution.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
The Negotiations With the Ministers
May be Broken of.

May be Broken Of.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The reciprocity
negotiations with the Canadian ministers
look as though they might come to sud-
den termination. Secretary Blaine pro-
pounded question Friday which the Cana
dian commissioners found a stumbling
block not easy Go get over.
Mr.. Blaine inquired If the Canadian min
listers IN coming here to propose a recipro-
city agreement. had any power to enter
into an arrangement that would give the
United States advantages In the Canadian
market not accorded to Great Britain. The
Canadian commissioners were Obliged to
acknowledge that they had no such power.
and that they could not give the United
States any advantages in the Canadian
market not conceded to Great Britain. IN
less they should be clothed with such power
in the future.
Secretary Blaine intimated that il was
useless to undertake to arrange a treaty
under such circumstances. Unless the Cam
adam ministers mad the power to negotiate
a treaty which would give the United States
advantages in return for similar advantages
allowed Canada, without extending the
same privileges given to this country to
the entire British empire, it would be a
mere waste of words to talk on the subject
of reciprocity.
Sir Julian Pauncefote was present for
the express purpose, it is understood. of
helping the Canadians over this difficult
point, but As near as can be learned he was
obliged to confess that neither he nor the
Canadian ministers had any power what
ever in the matter, but they expected that
Lord Salisbury would give favorable con-
sideration to any reasonable reduest II
made by the Canadian commissioners.
This was regarded by Secretary Blaine
and the President, as near as can be
learned, as a very remarkable situation.
The Canadian commissioners have come
here on their own invitation, to purpose a
reciprocity treaty with Canada, and they
are now Obliged to confess that they are
without any authority in the matter. and
that Lord Salisbury has not authorized
them, but has distinctly forbidden them to
enter into any arrangement on the SUPPOSE
tion that the United States shall have any
advantages in the Canadian market not
allowed to Great Britain.
1t looks as though this would end the
negotiations. though the Canadian commits
sioners, through Sir Julian Pauncecote. are
understood to be using the cable freely to
secure some expression from the British
premier that will enable them to go on with
the negotiations.

about the willingness of congress to vote

Quite Unlike a Fish Story.

When man begins to tell a story about fish
he IS at once labeled as a-well, as a story
teller, says the Boston Nelcs. This is not fish
story, but a chicken story that comes all the
way from Colorado. A chicken fancier was
troubled exceedingly by the propensity of his
brood 10 scratch up his garden, so he set to
WORK to solve the problem of prevention. After
elaborate experiment he succeeded in crossing
breed or lonR-legged brahmas with short
legged oantams in such way that the chickens
attempted to scratch they lost their balance
and fell over, which, after few trials, was
suffictent to show that scratching was impossi-
BILE, and they gave it up.
