THE Missouri State Senate vote

THE Missouri State Senate voted
to rebuild the Missouri University al
Columbia. This knocks out the
House. If the Senate had not saved
the day the Governor would have
done so. 1t is an outrage to even
think of re-erecting the University
anywhere except in Columbia.

ALL THE FAITH.

The little folks they do not know
and the little folks, thank GOD, they do
not care. SANTA CLAUS is their ideal
their b~enefactor and their friend.
There is in the SANTA CLAUS business
a bit of sentiment for this old man-
there is something in that childish faith,
that ~unwavering and absolute knoWl-
edge and belief of SANTA CLAUS good
ness and charity, as the child sees it
that makes this old fellow know that in
human nature there is something grand
but that after c%hildhood's days have
gone, and forever, that goodness and
that faith and that hopefulneSs all are
perverted and amount to nothing.
The second stage of simplicity comes
again when the MAIDEN in her loneliness
and her purity, leans upon the lovers
arm and swears that he 10 all the world
to her. 1t is the same trust-the same
unfaltering and undoubting faith which
led her to believe that SANTA CLAUS was
a nice old man-and that anything she
wanted was hers for the asking.
Then again comes that faith-thathope
that firm belief when the burdens OF
| life have been laid down-and the child,
the lover, the wife, the mother, resigns
| all care of earth and in a grander, yet no
more beautiful faith, says that GOD is
awaiting her and her soul goes out in the
greatest triumph, heavens nothing like
it. Steam can't approach it-electricity
is mo- in it mechanism is blind and bum
Cling and stupid when Faith is out
among 'em.
The man who has faith-faith in his
ability faith in his though
limited they be; faith to dare and cour-
age to do-well show US a steam engine
that approaches it.
And so The GLOBE says that the let
ter which we printed yesterday from the
little girl-the little girl whose modesty
asked for but two small toys and asked
old SANTA CLAUS to please bring them to
her-well she had faith that he would do
it. But that faith was not a realized
hope-it fell along the way. This old
man will make SANTA CLAUS promise
good, because SANTA CLAUS explained
to us that he had not received all his
mail

1T ALL GOES.

Big feas have little feas 20 bite 'em-
and they still smaller ones, ad infinitum.
That is the old saw-and it hits the bulls
eye, rings the bell and collects the money.
There is no need Of the rest being done.
We have peer reading lately of the
most spectacular case of stupid and
roguish assininity that has yet come under
the ]spectacles which this writer wears
over his ears.
Up in New York-up where newspaper
buildings are sky scrapers-where edi-
torial rooms are luxuriantly furnished
in fact where the immortal GREEDY made
his home and where a short-sighted man
agement turned it into q stall and do now
shelter an ass-the city editor of the Tri-
bune-it is in that great city where bright
lights and dim lights have their little
whirls, and where jealousy and little
back-biting occur just the same as in the
office Of the newspaper man out West or
down South who would
Eg- Receive cord wood on subscription.
There is more altitude to the jealousy
there is more Internal about
but like the wingless bed bug, it gets
there just the same. The ass Of the New
York Tribune, city editor is the stall in
which he brays, makes his reportorial
force leave the press club, or quit it, be-
cause Col. JOHN A. CoCKERILL was and
is president of the club.
We are printing this information to
make a point on other things and SO here
it must be ssid that the city editor of the
New York Tribune is just about as neces-
sary to that paper as a bride is to the ass
which lets everybody ride him.
The city editor of the New York
Tribune, and we speak by the card, is an
unknown and ~unrecognized "it," while
COLONEL CoCKERILL is the king-bee of
newspaper men. His name is known in
every printing office, in every newspaper
office, and In all the places where gentle
men discuss and feel acquainted with the
newspaper world. There are two ways
to do things. COLONEL CoCKERILL per-
haps gave the two gentlemen who refused
to be insuited by the Tribune ass a place
on his excellent papers. There is still a
style of the wild and woody West about
us, and excusing the presumption, had
we been president Of the New York Press
club, the city editor of that New York
Tribune would have been covered in the
rear with plasters in order to reduce the
swelling which would have equalled the
swelling Of his head.
We write the above merely to let the
people Of the South know that in New
York there are more or les. esteemed
contemporaries whose editors, like farmer
joe and o~urself, do not always pull to-
gether when hitched to a hay rake.

Our street cars they are idle now,
To run them is against the rule.

But now they claim TO lack a mule.
And as the mud is to our knees,
And cold and chilly is the air,
And grim La Grip does make US sneeze
Or will, at least, make good men swear.
We feel it is q pretty pass
To give for stopping such excuse,
When there is many an able ass
If some one would but tie him loose.
The ~weather-ah, this galOrious weather
but what's the use?
Our erstwhile war correspondent, JUDGE
RUFUS KING TERRELL, called this morning tC
see COL. CHARLEY WHITAKER concerning the
weather. The colonel informed the judge that
he thought it would rain, and the judge took
us by the hand and led us to the Parrish ware
honse, without an umbrella, and said, conf
dentially, II think SO, too"

TOBACCO TALKS.

Rev. Alex walker Gives His Views on the
Tobacco Market.
The weather having been u~nfavorable
for handling, the receipts have been light.
Now We are having stripping weather,
and the land being too wet to do much
farm work, it is reasonable to suppose
the farmers will avail themselves of the
opportunity Of stripping their tobacco
and getting it ready for market, and in .
few days we expect to see large breaks of
tobacco at all the warehouses. AS to
prices, we do net look for any very mate
rial change for some time to come. We
can see no good reason why we should
look for much variation in values. The
present crop will scarcely pay the actual
cost of production at present prices, and
with the fact confronting US that there is
no very large stocks held on the markets
Of the world, we can see no reason to ex-
pect lower prices for the short crop now
on hand for some time to come. What
effect may be produced by the prospects
of the 1892 crop remains to be seen. We
can see no inducement for the farmer to
incur any extraordinary expense to plant
a large crop of tobacco and at the same
time neglect the most important consid-
Grafton, which is family supplies. The
most successful class of farmefs in our
country are those who give family sup
plies their first consideration and her
the question of tobacco and cotton.
These always succeed while others fail.
The farmers that rely upon tobacco Dr.
cotton alone is q failure. 1t is only
q matter of time when nine out of every
ten will fail. Then we would advise
every farmer not only to make a supply
of everything that can be grown upon
his farm that will be required for the
comfort of his family, but make enough
to sell a little of anything that there is
any market for. When this is adopted
as a rale we will find the farming class
the most independent people of the land.
The farmer can if any man at all, live
independent, but not without industry,
not without economy, not when he goes
to town to buy all his fertilizers. Make
it at home, make it all if possible, if not
all, make all you can make. compost
this is what your tobacco needs. We do
not object to your using a limited
amount of commercial fertilizers but it
is money thrown away without compost
or vegetable matter of some kind, the
more of the commercial fertilizer that is
used the more compost or vegetable
matter is absolutely required or your
labor is vain.

THE DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that a fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair.
That was the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was ascertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
not available, and THE GLOBE has earn
estly pushed the idea. 1t has done more
than advise and recommend; it started
the list with a subscription of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such a patriotic lead ?
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of it's president SUBJ
scribed a thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would 60 forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50 =?
1t is true that some provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is one that appeals to the
individual citizen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
of material assistance. Mr.. Leo D.
Heartt, of Durham will receive all SUBJ
sc%riptions. We follow THE GLOBE in
urging our liberal aad patriotic citizens
to take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

Judge Brasse's Twenty Room Brick Res
idence Is Utterly Demolished.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 1S.-A terrific explo-
sion of natural gas, in which five resi-
dences were destroyed, two churches
were partially demolished and about
fifty houses damaged, in which the fam
lily of Judge John S. Brasse had a mar
velous escape from death or serious in
jury, occurred about $50 at Lancaster,
o., twenty-five miles south of here. The
judge was in his study down stairs in his
residence, a twenty room brick struct-
ure, in the centre of the town, when the
explosion occurred, while his family
were in bed. The house was leveled to
the ground and Judge Brasse thrown
about one hundred feet into a street car
track, where he was afterward picked
up in a dazed condition. Mrs. Brasse
and two daughters, Clara and Anna, and
two sons, Charles and Alfred, were in
bed on the second floor. The sons were
hurled $50 feet into the Lutheran church
yard, while the women were caught by
the falling roof. They were rescued
twenty minutes later in their night
clothes, and were found to be. cut and
bruised. There were four servants who
luckily escaped with only cuts and
bruises. Remarkable to relate, none of
the people in the house were even seri-
ously injured. The loss financially will
be quite heavy.

Unless there be some other resources
for North Carolina to be represented at

as can be furnished by our agricultural

THE CLIMATE.

Excuse these tears, yet We are dead in
love with these last two weeks-they
have been so fine for ducks and other
amphibious and web-footed animals.
Yet when we feel that the weather
here has been a little irregular-that it
has rained and the roads were rendered
very bad-let US turn our eyes to the
telegraphed reports from the Northwest,
and read there about the machine being
forty degrees below zero and no wood
insight to warm 'er up-snd then it will
occur to you, perhaps, that North Caro-
lima has some climate after all-even
though it did not get wet.

Will North Carolinians be content for
the State to be represented at the Worlds
fair by the exhibit of the Agricultural
Department only? We should have a
building Of our own, and we should make
a show which will compare fayorably
with those made by our sister states.
THE DURHAM GLOBE is on the right road.

Worlds Fair Fund.
LOXfOrd Day,7

Such an exhibit as the state agricul-
tural Department will make at the Co.
lumbar fair in Chicago ought not and
will not satisfy the people of North Car
DINA.
We want a building of our own on the
grounds-one constructed entirely of ma
tive woOds-sOmething handsome in style
and finish-a place where visitors from
the Old North State can meet and regis
lister and take their friends-a structure
that strangers will notice and admire and
talk about.
At least $25, 900 is needed.
The legislature made "a ~fieeting show"
of enterprise and progressiveness "for
mans delusion given"
Committees have met, discussed,
planned and accomplished nothing.
The last resort is for the newspapers
of the state to pitch in, and appeal to
generous, patriotic citizens for contribu-
tions to a Worlds fair fund.
THE DURHAM GLOBE takes the lead,
Gel. Al Fairbrother subscribes $3.50,
which is promptly supplemented by
$1,000 from the Blackwell Tobacco COM
pany.
Oxford ought to give it something
Ought to help in this good work.
Send the money to Col. II. G. Cooper,
cashier of the banking house of J. C.
Cooper & Sons, who will take care of it.
