LIBERTY, \. C.-MR. EDITOR -
On Aug. 18th President Marion But
Ter addressed over 1900 people gath
ereo from the four adjoining coun-
ties. 1t was one Of the ablcst speech
IS we have ever heard. He showed
how the Alliance demands are the
true solution for the present troubles.
Before he closed he invited any one
in the audience to ask any question
that might be desired. Prof. Bandy,
of Trinity College, who was present
and who had been an attentive list
ener, asked several questions calling
out fuller explanation of Mr.. But
ler's views. Mr.. Butler then invited
Trinity's able Professor of Mathcma-
tics ID the stand, introduced him to
the audience and asked him to ex-
press his views. The Professor en-
dorsed what Mr.. Butler had said,
but expressed fear that the money
power and monopolists had already
such a hold on the two old parties,
that nothing short of revolution
would ever free the people. 1t was
great day for reform.

We think the people that criticised
President Cleveland for leaving
Washington and going to "Buzzard's
Bay" are unjust, or at least their
criticisms are uncalled for. 1T is the
duty of congress to legislate; the
President is an executive officer. In
fact it is not necessary for the Presl-
dent to even send message to con-
gress. But certainly after he had
sent in his message expressing his
opinion, it would have been very i'm
proper for him to use his position to
pervert the will of the people, as ex-
pressed by their representatives in
congress. Even if there had been
no domestic affairs to call the Presl-
dent to "Ruzzard's Bay" it not only
would not have been proper to have
gone, but in our opinion been very
good taste.

Certain North Carolina politicians
who are recently yelling themselves
holr-r for Grover the Great, and
boa-tlng IF the fact that he was big
ger than his party, have now changed
their time, and are loudly abusing
their puaudom idol. But let not the
prouIr bc deceived; there is a change
of tune among the politicians, but
there Is NO change of heart. The
#samr atLli~hncas, the same greed, the
#samn want Of patriotic principle
which made these politicians bow
down in Tie dust and worship at the
feet Of the Mammoth Goldbug, now
artuatcs them to express their di@-
pleasure and disapproval. It is not
orrause they are disappointed III his
|prinripIes or policy of government,
for they care nothing about these,
bur it is because his course is grow
mg unpopular and they are afraid it
will damage the party. There are
in this State thousands, however, of
the plain practical honest citizens,
who have principles and who act
con8cientiously who are to-day dis
sappointed in the man they supported
for President, for they see that they
did not vote for what they thought
they were voting. For these men we
have the highest respect; but it is
the time serving politicians for whom
We have no respect and who are now
zlrnouncing their President.

Staining Floors.

The popularity of stained floors, says
the National Builder, goes ON increas-
ing. Nowhere are they more appreci-
ated than in sleeping rooms, where
sweetness and freshness are the main
considerations. Just what is the best
stain is difficult question to decide,
although a permanganate OF potash is
believed to possess many advantages.
1t is much used in the navy, and is
very satisfactory in sitting rooms and
sleeping rooms. As most people know,
permanganate not only stains, but
purifies and disinfects, the rooms which
are stained. The mode OF procedure is
this: Procure good quality OF per-
manganate of potash and dissolve about
an ounce and half OF the crystals in
gallon OF boiling water. This will
make quite a dark stain. Use a stick
to stir up the mixture; then, with a
painters fiat brush, lay on the stain,
working the way of the grain of the
wood quickly and boldly.

Great Library OF the United States.
When it is considered that the
largest existing public library, that OF
the French government at Paris, con.
tains as yet but 100000 volumes,
and that ample space exists in the
edifice now rising on Capitol hill for
storing more than twice that number
it will be perceived that the wants oi
the future are we'll cared for. While
nearly every government edifice ap.
pears to have been built only for q
generation and its uses have long
overgrown its limits, this one, through
the farsighted liberality OF Congress,
will provide room for the nations
books for nearly two centuries to
come.
The ultimate cost is limited to &c.
100000, a sum somewhat less than
half the cost OF the Capitol or of the
large building erected for the accom-.
modation OF the State, War and Navy
Departments. The library building
covers very nearly the same space as
each OF these government buildings
(about three acres), and lie constructed
of solid granite, with iron, brick and
marble interior. Its ample interior
courts and numerous windows will
render it the best lighted and best
ventilated library of large proportions.

WIDE TIRES BEsT.-It is a mistaken
belief that wide tires increase the
draught of wagon. On the con.
trary, they reduce the draught consid.
erably, for one reason, because they
prevent the wheels from cutting down
into the soft ground. The ease to a
team is fully 25 per cent according
to the tests made by scientific men,
and corroborated by practical persons
who have used them. The relief to
the roads from wear is so much that
wagons with tires five inches in width
are charged half as much toll only as
those with tires two inches wide. In
fact wide tire acts as roller to keep
the roads smooth and hard, and q
smooth hard road is so much easier
on team as To make the difference
of one-half in its favor, as against a
soft, muddy road or a soft plowed
field. Thus for farm use, the wide
tired wagon is a great economy.

The Sherman Law.

There is so much said about the
Sherman law that it may be we'll for
some who profess to know all about
it-even Senator Sherman is a little
doubtful about some of the provisions
so we print the following synopsis
of the act
Section provides that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury shall purchase
100000 ounces of silver bullion n
month or as much as may be offered
at the market price, not to exceed 81
for 37l.25 grains of pure silver and
pay for the same in treasury notes.
Section 2 provides that the treasury
notes issued in payment for silver
shall be redeemed on demand in gold
or silver coin at the discretion of the
Secretary, that these notes shall be
legal tender for all public and private
debts except when otherwise stipulat-
ed in contract and may be used by a
bank as part OF its reserve.
Section 8 provides that 100000
ounces of bullion should be coined
into dollars every month until July l,
1891, and after that as much as might
be necessary for the redemption of the
treasury notes.
Section A applies to the laws regulat-
ing mintage to the silver purchased
as aforesaid.
Section repeals the coinage sec
ton of the Bland act.
Section 6 relates to the redemption
of notes issued by National banks,
which are directed to be redeemed
from the general cash in the treasury.
Section declares when the act
should come into force.
Section 2 also declared it to be the
established policy of the United
States to maintain a parity between
gold and silver.

Use Few Words.

Nothing is more astonishing in liter
ature than the meager variety of
words to be found in the productions
OF great writer's. The same words
recur time and again in Shakespeare.
His noblest flights Of fancy and his
finest outbreaks of passion are ex.
pressed in simple terms that are in
daily use in every intelligent Ameri-
can household. Addison, q prince OF
writers OF graceful English prose, en-
ploys few words that the average
school child does not understand and
cannot define. The simplicity of lam
guage in the pilgrims Progress" is
proverbial, yet it is sufficient to por.
trary emotions ranging from the ago.
nies OF remorse to the raptures OF the
redeemed. The phraseology of Swift
and Goldsmith, except when technical
subjects are under discussion, is al
most as limited. The Bible is largely
q repetition OF few simple words.
Mastery of language consists in the
proper arrangement Of words rather
than a multiplicity of words. The
use Of simple terms is evidence of the
highest art. 1t is the sole way, indeed
as rule, in which the firmest and
widest impressions can be made. To
attain such command of speech de-
pends in large measure upon the pos
session OF imaginative faculties. Met
aphor is frequently a substitute. not
only for large words, but for many
words. It suggests rather than de-
picts, and from its peculiar measure
makes necessary the employment OF
terms that are readily understood. It
should not be forgotten, also, that
there are few pursuits that demand a
varied vocabulary. Many Of the tech
nical terms used by lawyer are of
little practical worth to physician or
merchant and vice versa. It is
questionable also if the English Ian
guage is not worse for the multitude OF
unnecessary adjectives that have crept
into it from one source to another.
Junius" looked upon adjectives as if
they were personal enemies. Macau-
lay used them under protest. There
is q peculiar force in the familiar OBJ
servations Of Thomas Hobbs: "Words
are wise mems counters-they do but
reckon by them-but they are the
money Of FOOLS"

If your hens cease laying, the first
duty is to search for lice. If you find
lice, it is sufficient evidence that the
hens were annoyed so severely as to
debilitate them. Look in the poultry
house for mites and on the heads and
necks for large lice. II you find no
lice, it means that your hens want
something that you do not give, and
that something is lean meat, fresh,
