LET US ALL GO TO WORK.

We find the following sensible
and timely piece of advice in an ex-
change, the name Of which we do
not remember. However, we will
use it and endorse it, as it is an ap-
plicable to this as another place.
We trust our people will not only
read but heed it:
Whatever may be the differences
among our people, there is one
common ground upon which all can
meet and work together, and that is
the building up of our town and
county. In this we have mutual
interest, and there is no time in the
year that Seems SO appropriate for
both individuals and towns to make
new beginnings, repair old under
takings, and put new life into en-
terprises that lag, as the spring of
the year. 1t is here now, bright
and promising. Let us put our
fences in repair, replace the old
shingles, put on a clean coat of
paint and give the sagging gate new
hinges. There comes with the
spring breezes, new life and vigor.
The town that shows no new paint,
no new roofs, an untidy, unkempt
appearance in the spring, shows
that the people have lost their grip.
Let us all go to work and gather
strength in the small repairs around
our homes Tor the larger enterprises
that affect the prosperity of the
community. What is most needed
in this city and county to, day is the
re- establishment of confidence
among our own people. A general
business depression destroys cour-
age and energy and sets every grum
bier up in business. We want to
stop the prophet of evil and get the
wheels al home to going round"

Some genius in Syria, named
Mousa Rhourt, has discovered the
secret by which the silk worm makes
silk. He can make the silk by ma
chinery without the aid of the silk
worm. In this way the cost of max
ing silk can be reduced one half. A
mandatory is to be started in G cor
gia soon by a Syrian colony. To
manufacture silk in this way large
tract Of land has been secured on
which to plant mulberries and the
emigrants expect soon to make
their fortunes.

Gov. Campbell, in his speech at
Providence, r. l., Saturday, effect.
lively spiked one of the big guns OF
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a high tariff
keeps wages up, AID the higher the
tariff is the higher wages will be.
From the census reports, official
documents complied by republicans,
Gov. Campbell showed that in 1860,
under the democratic tariff, the
average import duty was "a cents
on the dollar and the average wages
paid was IS cents on the dollar for
all American manufactures. In
1890 the tariff was up to so cents on
the dollar and wages down to II
cents. Instead of following the
tariff up wages have taken the op-
posite course. 1t is needless to say
who has pro6ted by the increasing
gap between the average tariff tax
and the average rate of wages.

A collapsible life-raft has been
brought out, which is likely to be of
great service in cases where the use
of a lifeboat is impracticable or UNI
availing. The raft is built with 80
water-tight compartments, and is
practically unsuitable. 1t can be
sailed or rowed. A clear run, fore
and att, is secured for naval and
military purposes, and il joined front
to end the RATS will form a bridge

TIMELY WORDS.
NOR Jones, of Alabama.

Governor Jones, of Alabama.
These are not times when demo-
Gratis can afford to trlfe with the
peace of the great white race. A
crisis has arisen in its history. No
true democrat can fan the fires of
passion that they may light his
pathway to Office.
These fair women, these little
children, these schoolhouses, this
altar of justice, these churches, the
memory of our past sacrifices, and
and all the proud hopes that beckon
us to glorious future cry out God
forbid" The veal or woe of this
generation, and of generations yet
unborn, depends upon the unity
and success Of the democratic party
of Alabama. Shatter it or rend it
in twain, and all the woes of our
past will be bright compared to the
future which awaits us. What man
shall deem himself so great or so
low that he will consciously be made
the instrument to work out our
ruin?
Men are nothing. If there is
nothing in this contest but the per-
sonal ambition of Reuben F. Kolb
and Thomas G, Jones, it would be
better for them and better for the
State that the lightning should
strike them down than either of
them should strike the blow that
will break down the walls of our
civilization, which be guarded only
by an united white race. No ex-
tremity can drive me to take the
party by the throat, no matter how
wrongful might deem a decision
against me. Whatever the voice of
the party uttered by those whom
the party appoints to speak for it, l
will heed and obey it.

There is only one person that is
worse than the tattler and that's the
man or woman VINO listens without
protest. The trouble is you hold
the sack while they fill it. The re-
ceiver of stolen goods is just as bad
as the thief. An ancient writer says
that slanderer and he who receives
the SANDER ought both to be hung,
the one by the tongue and the other
by the ear.

Have the farmers ever studied
the st. Louis platform !? What do
they find in il that pleases them
Do they find demand for the re-
duction OF the tariff? Do they find
any condemnation of the force bill ?
They find no reference to either of
these things, because the men who
framed the platform were republi-
cans, and they still demand high
protective tariff and favor force bill
legislation. The chief leaders of the
third party hate the south. They
put in the platform q demand that
union soldiers be paid the difference
between the price of the deprecated
currency in which they we're paid
and gold, but they made no demand
for confederate soldiers. And these
same third party leaders have tried
to mislead southern farmers with
respect to the St. Louis platform.
They have had platform with the
Objectionable feature left out made
up for distribution in the south, but
the platform as it was adopted is dis
tributed through the north. What
do southern farmers think of this
attempt to mislead them Is it not
an insult to their intelligence that
makes Stheir blood boil ?-Savannah

voted twenty-five years search to the coll

ARu..I.n Traveller.

NorosH Dnyd OF st. Petersburg tstis OF
an old townsmany who, according TO its
judgment, is the most noteworthy traWler
~ the present time. d. v. OF ijtchevka,
government OF Smolenska, does not travel
| for fame or to win prize, but he makes
long journeys on foot merely for the love
Of travelling. He is sympathetic old man,
shoemaker. and Of q very charitable dis
position. For many years V. has made It
his practice to start from home early In
the spring and TO travel about In the coun-
try until late In the autumn. He has COW
cred many thousands OF versts through
out the length and breadth Of Smolensk
and neighboring governments. He carries
with him In hand cart change OF cloth
ing, supply OF provisions for two or three
days, a little samovar Russian tea KETTLE,
and q few tin utensils 1t makes no
difference to him where night overtakes
him, in the fields or In the forest; he quietly
builds little fire, prepares his modest
meal, drinks few cups Of tea, and lies
down to sleep until the morning wakes
him. Rain does not disturb him. he COW
ers his wheelbarrow and himself with an
oil-eloth and travels on or sleeps peace
ably, as the case may be. II he stays over
night In village, or makes q stop at q
farmhouse, all the children he meets gets
little presents from him-toys or pieces Of
sugar for which he has special compart-
meat In his vehicle. In September he re-
turns home. The first thing he does is to
buy number Of sheepskins, which he
works up into fur coats and gloves and
distributes among the poor peasants who
have to chop wood In the forest for liv-
ing. When this Is done he sits down at
his cobbler's bench to work for himself"
He always gets plenty Of work to do, and
lays by during the autumn and winter as
much as he needs for his travels In the
fair season of the year II he has more
than he thinks he may need, no gives it
| away to the poor peasants before he starts
ON his regular trip.-N. Y. Sun.

faces and threw her cigarette away with a
merry laugh. Then she arose, gravhly

A Drunken Country.

Denmark is the most drunken country
in the world. She consumes per capita
more than double the amount OF spirits
OF either Germany or Switzerland, and
almost double that OF the heaviest
drinker, viz, Holland. Denmark drinks
4.99 gallons of distilled liquor, .26 gallons
of wine, $50 gallons Of beer per capita
annually. Statistics show that from 1871
to 1888, 20 per cent OF the divorces were
caused by drink; that, among the insane,
10 per cent OF the men and per cent OF
the women were unbalanced by drink,
and that three fourths OF the arrests and
one-third OF the pauperism were due to
drink.
