Monstrous Apples.
I owners

North Carolina sends to the southern
markets, especially those Of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, magnificent red
apple almost as large as a good sized
cantaloupe. This apple is SO large that,
it is said, the greediest Of small boys
could scarce eat whole one at one
meal. It is grown in the mountainous
regions Of the old colony, where it re-
quires little cultivation. Asheville used
to be famous place for these apples,
but the influx of summer visitors has re-
duced the output. Before the war the
backwoods farmers would drive in their
queer old canvas covered wagons all the
way down to Augusta, Ca, which was
then the largest market north of Charles
ton, with great loads of the big, juicy
apples.
These should have commanded high
price, but they were SO plentiful in that
section that they sold for five cents
quart. Still, as quart measure would
hold only one apple, the backwoodsmen
made a good profit, for the fruit had cost
them nothing save the labor of picking.

Doctors but Not Reverend.

DR.. Samuel Eliot often appears in the
newspapers with the prefix "Rev." be-
fore his other title. A recent mistake of
that kind recalls a peculiar incident in
which DR.. Eliot, Charles W., the presi-
dent of Harvard university, was the cen
trail figure. It was at meeting of Bos-
ton Methodist preachers, and President
Eliot had finished the reading of an
essay. The meeting was about to end
when the chairman announced, "The
exercises will close with the benediction
by DR.. Eliot"
The assembled ministers arose, bowed
their heads and waited, but no words of
benediction were heard. Looking up
they saw DR.. Eliot covered with con-
fusion, speaking earnestly with the
chairman. The cause of the delay was
made clear when the presiding officer
said, cdr. Eliot informs me that he is
not clergyman and I will therefore
ask Brother Trafton to pronounce the
benediction. Boston Journal.

A Powerful Sewing Machine

A sewing machine has been invented
which stitches easily and rapidly through
layers of leather fve-eighths of an inch
in thickness, this having been accom-
plished on first exhibitory trial. In a
second trial stitches were made evenly
and rapidly through piece of birdseye
maple three-eighths of an inch thick;
and in third test the still more remark
able feat was achieved, VIZ, that of sew
ing through layer Of brass one-eighth

Last night the Democrats elected the
Hon. George Walker, city treasurer, Mr..
John S. Russell, city clerk, Mr.. Charles
S. Deake, city auditor and Mr.. B. A.
Norton, chief of the fire department.
Mr.. Walker is understood to have been
exceedingly reluctant to accept the treas
urership, and only consented to do SO to
save the party from the confession that
they could not fill it with competent
man. Of Mr.. Walkers responsibility
there can of course be no question, but
we are inclined to think that unless he is
given perfect freedom to select as his
subordinates such men as he deems COM
petent to perform the duties of the Office
his resignation viii be promptly sent in.
IF the party undertakes to select his
assistants for him there will be a
row right off. Mr.. Russellis undoubted-
ly qualified to perform the duties of city
clerk, but his eligibility to that Office
under the statutes of the state is in grave
doubt. The weight of opinion, among
OClnOCIdt dS VIGIL cbo 4tCpuDllStsi1 4cN w
yers, is against it. Mr.. Charles S. Deake
will make satisfactory auditor, and if
a Democrat was to be chosen we don't
know of one whose selection will give
more general satisfaction. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Norton for chief engineer of
the fire department is one the fitness or
unitness of which time alone can deter
mine. While Mr.. Norton has been con-
nected with the fire department off and
on for many years, it does not
appear that he has ever held any
responsible position where his
Judgment or executive ability could be
put to the test. His friends claim he
possesses these qualities in high degree,
and we certainly hope such will prove to
be the case, for the Office of chief engin-
eer of the fire department is one of the
most responsible in the. government, and
lack of judgment or of knowledge there
will be likely to be very costly to proper
ty owners.

rolls have been padded with thousands
of bogus names. While 81 counties show
a decrease of 20,211 compared with 1890,
the other 80 counties show an increase of
504, 125. Of the net gain of 483,914 over
1890 in the state as whole, New York
and Kings counties are credited with
100000, or nearly SO per cent. By includ-
ing thousands of aliens and other thous-
ands of sojourners at the hotels and on
the shipping in the harbor, and by double
counting of men doing business in New
York city and residing in Brooklyn, as
well as by bare-faced padding, this
fraudulent total of Inhabitants in the
cities of New York and Brooklyn has
been rolled up.

Hills mid winter enumeration in New
York is likely to accomplish the result
intended-that is swell the Democratic
vote and cut down the Republican. In
the interior the enumerator has had
great difficulty in getting round owing to
bad roads and bad weather while in the
cities he has met no such difficulties.
The result is that in the interior the
names of thousands of citizens have been
omitted from the rolls; and they will be
DISTINGUISHED by being excluded from
the population that will be taken as a
basis in the new apportionment of legis-
lative districts In 27 counties of inte-
rior New York population of 20,211 less
than in June, 1890 is figured out. The
decrease extends from % in Orleans
county to 1850 in Orange county. In
Columbia, Madison, Oswego, Rockland,
Saratoga, Seneca and Steuben counties
decreases of more than 1000 since 1890
are reported. While the citizens of the
interior by the thousand have been dis
franchised, the aliens in the big cities
have been included, and, in addition, the

The Portland correspondent, of the
Boston Herald intimates that Hon.
Charles F. Libby shall not go to Mime
apolis as delegate from this district
because Mr.. Libby in his candidacy sis
heartily seconded by ex-Speaker Reed"
1t has commonly been supposed that
the question of who should represent the
Republicans of the First district at the
national convention was one to be settled
bv the Republicans of that district. But
Judging from the above, it has been taken
entirely out of their hands and settled in
advance, and the announcement Of the
settlement proclaimed to the Republic
cans of the First district through the
most obnoxious Democratic paper in
New England. The fact that Mr.. Reed
is friendly to Mr.. Libby may be, in the
eyes of the Boston Herald, good reason
why Mr.. Libby should not go to Mime
apolis. Bun the Republicans of this dis
trict may conclnde that this is matter
to be settled by themselves, not by the
Boston Herald or any other self-consti-
tuted authority.

The Boston Herald, abiding to the de-
bate on the Bland bill which is to come
this week, and the attitude of the Re
publicans, says that when the sound
money Democrats needed Republican
help the most because it could be most
useful to their cause, they could not get
it, although they asked for it earnestly
in the name of the pensioner, the work
ingman and workingwoman, and the
business interests of the country" The
help which the sound money Democrats
asked of the Republicans was not help to
defeat the Bland bill. They could have
got that, and they can get it now. 1t
was help to postpone consideration of the
bill until after Presidential election, in
order to enable the eastern Democrats
to go about the country as they did a
year ago pretending that the Democratic
party was the party of sound money and
that the Republican party was the party
of free silver. The Republican party was
appealed to to help prevent an act on the
part of the Democratic party which the
Mugwumps and eastern Democrats be-
ieved would be equivalent to political
suicide. The Republicans refused to
give this help, and because they did so
this little band of Mugwumps, whose
special organ is the Boston Herald, are
shouting themselves hoarse over what
they allege to be a desertion on the part
of the Republicans of the cause of sound
money. Very properly the only response
to their shouts is derisive laughter.
