Professor Palmer, of Harvard, discuss
ing the teaching of morals in the public
schools, says that excess Of conscience
has desolated New England like a
scourge. Conscientiousness becomes a
moral disease and takes the place in the
spiritual life OF prostration in
the physical life. People who are always
lingering their motives, and unwhole-
somely ~preoccupied with directing their
acts. lose spontaneity, sense of proper
ton. But what is more important to
human society is their tendency to be-
come'bores. whose virtues are worse than
their vices. A better rule of conduct is
that of a PERSON who says. 1--WE made
reasonably sure that my instincts are all
right. SO | let my acts take care of them
selves."-New York Evening Sun.

a Rainmaker Ia BE Depended Upon.


Frederick w. Root is a good deal of a
hoodoo. He gracefully acknowledges
the charge himself. Il is a singular fact
that whenever he appears to deliver a
lecture the rain begins to fall. He is so
good a rain producer that he has serious
~ considered the idea of utilizing his
talents for that purpose in the arid re-
gions of the west.
While at Silver Lake Assembly, in New
York state. he delivered a lectured on
musical tastes or a kindred subject. He
bad delivered the same lecture a half
dozen times in the west, and the refresh
ing shower came along each time before
he had half finished it.
But when he reached the Silver Lake
Assembly grounds the sky was bright,
and Mr.. Root congratulated himself
upon having shaken off his evil spirit.
He mounted the rostruin, cleared his

courage and went on, and before he had

he could hardly choose between the

Intimately and he describes them as

Maj. Struggled suggests the building
of line along the top of the Pisgah
ridge round to the Ralsam forests,
and possibly even to the head of the
Pigeon and French Broad rivers.
This, he says, would be not only
practicable but could be easily done.
The route penetrates some of the
widest scenery in our mountains
and the view from Pisgah is SO beau
tiful and awe inspiring tha5 no ord1-
nary pen can describe it truthfully.

WINSTON'S CLAIMS.

According to the United States
Blue Book, the collector for this In
ternal Revenue District receives
$500 per year; he has two deputies
at $500, one at $1,000, one at
$14OO, two at $1,000, two at $1100,
nine at $1,000, ten at 5000, one at
5000, one at 500, and one at $500.
Besides these there are four distillery
surveyors who get $3.50 per day,
one clerk at 5000, another at $500
and a messenger at $3.50. There are
also employed at different times
throughout the year 427 store keep
ers and gua gers who receive from two
to three dollars per day. These figures
will give an idea of the Importance
of this office.
This district is much larger than
the Fourth Internal Revenue dis
trict which has its headquarters at
Raleigh There are many more
deputies here and 316 more store
keepers and gaugers, the number in
the other district being only Ill.
The revenue for thisdistrict is UNDER
stood to be in round numbers a
million and d half per year, which is
from % TO 35 per cent. greater than
that OF the Fourth Internal Revenue
district Winston contributes about
half the revenues of this district and
if the Office would locate here the
business done in Winston would in
| crease 5000 600 a year; in other
words Winston would contribute
one third OF the whole Internal Rev.
enue of the State.
Every body knows that Winston is
the great tobacco manufacturing
town of North Carolina. 1t is well
known also that the counties which
contain large numbers of distilleries
are within easy access of this city.
There is, therefore, every important
| consideration in favor of Winston
Salem as the headquarters for the
Internal Revenue Department of this
district. It ought to be here; the
people of this city and the neighbour
ing counties ought to fight for it and
to secure it here.
1t is not only on account of the
magnitude of this Office that we de-
sire it here; the large patronage, the
many people that it will call to our
city, the prominence it will give Win
ston Salem, but another argument
exists why our efforts should be
strenuously directed to the attain
ment of this end. and that is that a
conspicuous and costly public build
ing would undoubtedly be erected by
the Government IL case We could
secure the office in this city.
The Importance of these things is
evident when these facts are given
due consideration, and the benefits
to follow ought to spur our citizens
to determined effort.

a RIGaTEoUs MEASURE.
what Editor Caldwell Thtnks of Mr.
Waas0m's Bill.

From the Charlotte Observer
Mr.. Watson, of Forsyt tn, has very
important bill before the Legislature.
1t is "a bill to be entitled an act to
license tobacco warehouses in this
State and to protect tobacco grow
ers from fraudulent combination to
reduce the price of tobacco sold in
such warehouses. The license tax
is nominal, being but 81 per year,
and is levied, We take it, only for
the purpose OF bringing the ware
houses within the control of the law
in order that the provisions of the
act may be the better enforced. The
evident design of the bill is to reach
such conspiracies as the Cigarette
Trust, known To the public as the
American Tobacco Company" and
the Observer wishes Mr.. Watson
golspeed in his righteous crusade.
Ii the only purpose oftnis conspiracy
was to keep up or ever to furtherput
up the price of cigarettes We would
have no word to utter against it,
but whiIe doing this with one hand
ir presses down with the other the
price OF the leaf tobacco which goes
into the cigarettes, until what was
formerly the best paying grade of
tobacco grown Is now raised at a
price but shade above the cost of
production The cigarette trust
dominates the cutter market, and
the tobacco raiser, deprived of com
petition, must take for his cutters
whatever this Internal monopoly is
willing to give. It isnot asgenerous

THE CABINET COMPLETE.

President-elect Cleveland has final
ly announced1all the members of his
cabinet, and the complete list is as
follows:
Walter @. Gresham, of Illinois, sec
rotary of state; John g. Carlisle, of
Kentucky. secretary of the treasury;
Daniel S. Lamont, of New York, sec
rotary of war; Hilary A. Herbert, of
Alabama, secretary of the navy;
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, secretary of
the interior; JSSterling Morton. of
Nebraska, secretary of agriculture;
Wilson S. Bissel, ofNew York, post
master general; Richard w. Olney, of
Massachusetts,, attorney general.
The cabinet is generally regarded
as a very strong one, although two
or three members of it are men who
have never achieved much notoriety
and are but little known outside OF
their own States This is especially
true ofHoD. Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
and Richard 0lney, of Massachu-
sets, the latter of whom has never
been prominent even inlocal politics.
Mr. Cleveland has been particular
~ kind TO the South in making up
his cabinet, giving us three import
ant portfolios. Carlisle, strictly
speaking, is not Southern man, but
in all matters political his sympa-
thles and his influence are with the
Southern peofle.
There are many Southern Demo.
Gratis who do not axe kindly to the
appointment of Judge Gresham to
the chief place in the cabinet, but
there is, even to them, consolation
in the fact that Mr.. Cleveland gener-
ally has good and sufficient reason
for any public act that be does.

As TO SENATORS.

The Legislatures of the States of
Washington and Montana are still
balloting for United States Senators.
In Wyoming the Legislature, after
fruitlessly balloting for weeks, adj
journed without electing Senator,
and in Kansas there is a middle over
the election that it will take a PhiIa-
delphia lawyer to unravel.
This ALLEGES teprove theunwisdom
of electing Senators by the Legisla-
latures instead Of by direct vote.
Let the people vote for their Sena-
tors the same as they do for their
Representatives and these dead-locks
and bubbles will be avoided and the
people will then be able TO get men
of their choice, and the stigma would
be removed from the Senate~of being
d body of plutocrats who buy their
seats, irrespective OF tn ir fitness for
the position.
