The Garden

When the gardener knows his flowers
widely, he will even begin to see that
cOlOrs nave their special OdorS-that there
is an analogy between all purple flowers,
all blue flowers, that we must not expect q
red flower to smell like a white one. He
will find that textures have also their in.
fuence; at least that flowers of a certain
texture have some similarity Ct odor. and
that also certain texture incline to certain
cOlors. Inc strongest similarity of Odor
is between all white flowers of a thick
smooth teKture-the white lilies. the
jasmine, the tuberose. They are not alike,
out their dissimilarlty is a matter of de-
gree, not of kind. It would seem to
amount to ference of kind; to me, at
least, the white lilies are exquisite ouG-of
doors, the jasmine is so heavy as to be I'M
pleasant, and the tuberose is horrible and
deadly. Sumacks smell like raspberries,
which they resemble in color.
To study d garden is to feel that the
study is without INIT. 1t is an education
in itself. To make garden is to be born
again; to find ones self suddenly become
d person without prejudices lin regard to
this thing at least;) to find that one has
begun to build a great temple, in which
the flowers are the building stones, and
each must count for its real merits, ire
spective of tradition. A rose shall be a
rose, but not the queen of flowers, unless
it builds better into the general scheme
than any other flower.
You will not despise the lowly mieno-
nette which may cover your bare ground
with tender green and subtle fragrance,
and make fine ground work for a Shower
thing to spring up above and be seen
against it. You will find the blatant
dahIia or the magnificent peony as full of
sentiment as the lily-of tbe-vaIley. 1t will
depend on It's placing how much you will
value it above the flower you have always
loved most; for somewhere, you will find,
you must have this telling note of color to
make your harmony complete.
Ehe wise gardener conceives his garden
in relation to his soil, his capabilities, and
his climate, and bis taste will be hemmed
in, and at last modelled by these eonsid-
erations He will have the garden that
he 6ads possible, not that which he con-
eeives apart from all limitations. and it
will be none the less beautiful. We learn
to love most the flowers that grow will

Washington yesterday Mr. Hill had
a conversation with Representative
Mills upon the subject of the tariff. He
stated that the Great Northern Conn

were superior to the American, and
cited the fact that out of the thousands

used only one had broken. 1t was
question of safety of life and property,

WASHINGTON, March 26.-President
Harrison has not yet decided to become
a candidate for denomination. He may
even decline to let his name go before
the convention. Senator Proctor, who
was given some time ago as authority
for this statement, afterward denied IL.
There is, nevertheless, the best authority
for saying that the President made the
statement himself early this week
Whether he was sincere or not is J.
question which cannot be answered.
Suffice it to say that he did make the
statement. He added that he might
accept denomination if it came to him
without opposition, and concluded, in
answer to a question, by stating that
his preferences were for Mckinley or
Allison.

MR.. CLEVELAND.

The country will recognize in the
election of Mr.. Cleveland the triumph
of purer sentiment in American poll
tics. Since his entry into public life
he has reflected lustre on American
citizenship, and he has never deviated
from the principles which the founders
of the republic made the corner stone
of its safety. Mr.. Cleveland is to-day
the highest type of the American citi-
zen. The exalted station to which he
has been elected by the almost unani-
nous suffrages of his countrymen does
not hide the sterling worth of his man
hood. He has filled this station
before, and his stern virtues outshone
the splendor even Of that great office.
And when his unbending integrity
failed to receive the proper reward
four years ago it seemed that the re-
public had entered upon its down.
ward course, but the people have
rallied and summoned from private
life, and reinvested with the Chief
Magistracy the quiet citizen whose
broad patriotism and wisdom blotted
out all sectional lines and taught
anew, as it we're, the lesson that this
was indeed Union of coequal and
independent states. There is not a
man in the broad limits of the Union
who does not feel that its business
interest can safely be entrusted to the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland, and
now that his election has been con-
coded the best results may conf
IDENTIFY be expected from his domestic
and foreign policy. Within a few
months he will enter upon the dis
charge of the duties of his high Office,
and then We will hear no more of
official plunderers and government
extortions.-State Chronicle.

SHAFFER AS HE IS REMEMBERED
HERE

There is one citizen of Charlotte
who would shed no tears if A. w.
Shafer, the chief supervisor Of cleo
tons for the eastern district of North
Carolina, who was arrested at Raleigh
Saturday, should be sent to Jail and
from there to the penitentiary. The
citizen in question is DR.. ]. B. Alex
ander. Shaffer was the chief officer of
the Freedmen's Bureau here just after
the war. DR.. Alexander had a case
before him and, without the slightest
provocation, was cursed and abused by
him in the most outrageous manner.
He invited Shafer into the street for
an adjustment, but was seized by
Mayor Harris and reminded that the
vulgar tyrant had 5000 bayonets
behind him and that for him to resen,
the insults meant that he would find
himself in Jail. Shaffer may have his
admirers and friends but, DR.. Alex
ander is not of the number.-Char.
lotte Observer.
If Shaffer gets his deserts (and the
prospects are good for his doing so) he
will find himself in just about the
position DR.. Alexander would like tc
see him by the time the law and the
courts of North Carolina are done
with him.

The sorry figure cut in Viewers
vote ought to make those who allowed
themselves to be led astray by the
soreheads and disruptionists of the
so-called Peoples party ashamed of
themselves. 1t ought to teach them
that the people of North Carolina, as
well as of all the South, are not going
to allow themselves to be divided on
any preteXt whatever, while the Re-
publicans continue to pursue them
with Force bills and impoverish them
with Mckinley taxation. Another
lesson may be learned from the re-
suit, and that is the fact so often
pointed out that the whole thing was
one OF Republican origin to defeat the
Democratic party and get the Repub-
licans in power again. With this fact
open and apparent, it is needless to
deny the charge that there was a Sc
cret combination between the Third
party and the Republican party.

WEEKLY PAPERS WORK.

The Atlanta Constitution gives great
credit to the Democratic weeklies OF
that State for what they did in win
ming the victory achieved in the late
election, and declares that they
deserve a "faming laurel from the
Democratic wreath.'
No doubt of it. The "Country
editor not only writes and talks and
spends his money tor his party, but
his Office is headquarters" and in
consequence vast amount of mis-
cellaneous labor is imposed upon him
but he rarely complains, though he
knows that others will reap where hi
has sown, and that when at the close
of the contest "honorable MENTION i:
to be made of those who have rem
dered great service his name will
hardly be thought of. So far from il
he will be asked to pay tribute te
dozens of persons who have not con
tibuted to party success one-tenth a:
much as he has.
Lack of appreciation is bad enough
but the climax is reached when the
editor is asked to sit down and aware
the credit to others for what he him
self has done. There is where hal
should be called Dis
b1fch.
