The Public Printing.
lGraham Cleaner. !

The public printing has been bone
of contention and fertile subject of
bad blood for number years. 1t
caused SO much wrangling two years
ago and four years ago-parties even
coming to blows and breaking the
peace, that it was thought wise to
eliminate it entirely from the realm of
politics. Steps were taken to that
end, and it was supposed to be ac-
complished; but second caucus put
a new face on what the first caucus
did, and now the last state of it is
worse than the first. Just how the
muddle will be straightened out is
beyond our short vision. 1t is not
pleasant to contemplate the matter in
the shape it is now.
Touching this matter the Charlotte
Observer says:
A sad mess hass been made of the
public printing matter again. The
bonus has been eliminated and the
State thus saves $4,000 per year, but
the overturning by one caucus of the
work of a previous one, and the over
riding of the committee on printing
after it had made a contract as directed,
have caused no end of friction. 1t is
strange that no legislature has ever
been found competent to deal with
this plain businss matter on business
principles, but that it continues a
source or irritation, strife and scandal.
The following from the Wilmington
Messenger is apropos, also:
The Raleigh Chronicle and Nezvs
and Observer are both justly indig-
nant at the final turn the public print
ing matter took in the Democratic
legislative caucus. The first caucus
decided to give the printing to the
lowest responsible bidder, and dis
pense with the services of the so called
"public printer" A committee was
appointed to deal directly with the
job printers, and the newspapers were
served with notice that they need not
apply. Accordingly they did not
apply, The committee got bids from
job printers Edwards & Broughton,
and from E. NJ. Uzzell, and it is said,
made contracts with them. When
the committee reported to the caucus,
for some unaccountable reason it re-
versed its previous action, ignored the
job printers who had made bids, prac-
tically reinstated Mr.. Daniels as pub
lie printer, and gave him the work;
but Topped off the IS per cent. royalty
he had been getting on it. After
ruling out the newspapers, and dis
pensing with the public printer, this
vascillating caucus reinstated the
public printer, and gave the job to a
newspaper. We commended the first
action as proper and "coming down
to business" as the Raleigh dailies
also did, and until we have better
lights before us than we have now we
must entertain the opionion that the
caucus made nice mess of this print
ing business.

Stop my Paper
Lutheran ObSerYer,i

Now newspaper, in one aspect is
like hotel table. 1t pre-
sents to its readers literary viands and
views from many different writers and
many different subjects, to suit many
different persons of many different
tastes. There is something for the old
and the young; for ministers and lay
men, for parents and children, for the
poetic and the prosaic, for the prac-
tical and devotional; and, in short,
for " all sorts and conditions of men"
and women, too. If now one of
these classes of persons object to ar
ticles suited for any of the other classes,
and rejects newspaper on that ac-
count, he is just as unreasonable in
this as if he refused to take his dinner
at hotel table because he dislikes
some article of food which others
enjoy.

President Cleveland and Judge
Gresham.

The selection of Judge Gresham
for the first place in Mr.. Cleveland S
Cabinet was not the result of a hasty
impulse on the part of the President
elect, nor did the Judge accept the
invitation to become member of the
official family of the next administra-
ton without due knowledge and ap-
probation of the characteristics of the
man with whom he is to serve. The
current paragraph to the effect that
Mr.. Cleveland and Judge Gresham
met for the first time in New York
recently is not correct. Their ac-
quaintance is of some years duration
and the story of their first meeting,
which has never been told, is an in
teresting one. Shortly after Mr..
Cleveland's Inauguration in 1885,
Judge Gresham visited Washington
and called at the White House to pay
his respects to the new President. The
Cabinent was in session when he
reached the White House, and Mr..
Cleveland requested the Judge to
await the adjournment of that body.
He did so, and then the two gentle
men met for the first time. 1t was
evidently case of mutual attraction,
for the President invited his visitor
to remain to lunch with him. The
Judge did SO, and they spent almost
the entire afternoon in the dining
room. Mr.. Cleveland was then a
bachelor, and over their cigars they
discussed many matters of interest to
them as public men. Judge Gresham
afterward spoke of the interview as a
most interesting experience. The
new Executive piled his guest with
many questions relating to the manner
of procedure in the consideration of
business under the former admins
tration of Gen. Arthur, with which
Judge Gresham had been connected.
The questions propounded indicated
on the part of the President knowl-
edge OF public affairs which the Judge
said surprised him, and after several
hours conversation he came away with
the conviction that Mr.. Cleveland was
a man of great good sense, as he ex-
pressed it; man not given to senti-
ment, but level-headed and conserva-
tive, one with whom the administra-
ton of affairs would be wholly safe.
This was the beginning of an acquain-
tance and a regard for each others
ability which has resulted in the one
abandoning his lifelong party affllia-
tions and the other appointing him
to the chief seat at the table of his
administration councils.

Bright Wrappers Advancing.
TCincinnati Tobacco Journ all

All our reports from the Virginia
and North Carolina markets indicate
that Bright Wrappers are advancing,
and it looks as if the rise predicted is
now beginning to be realized. There
had been a lethargy in this class OF
Tobacco which we'll posted dealers
could not understand, in view of the
rather doubtful supply of old, and the
comparatively small proportion in the
1892 crop, which early receipts
heralded, and which receipts up to
date have further confirmed. Such is
the confidence of holders of Bright
Wrappers that some have reimported
stocks held abroad, and most holders
look for very decided advance before
prices come to stand, as they claim
visible stocks and the activity in
manufacturing justify.
Some manufacturers on the other
hand claim they are not much con-
cerned about the supply of Wrappers,
but what they disire the most is a
better supply and cheaper line OF
Filters, which neither the Eastern no,
the Western crop affords them.

IF WE HAD BUT A DAY.

We should fill the hours with the sweetest
things
If we had but a day,
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way;
We should love with lifetime's love in
an hour,
If the hours were few;
We should rest, not for dreams, but for
fIesher power
To be and do.
We should glide our waywasd or wearied
wills
By the clearest light;
We should keep our eyes on the hea venly
If they lay in sight;
We should trample the proud and the dis
content
Beneath our feet;
We should take whatever good God sent
With trust complete.
We should waste no moments in a weak
regret.
If the day were but one,
If what we remember and what we forget
Went out with the sun;
We should be from our clamOrOus selves
set free
TO work or to pray,
And to be what the Father would have
us be.

MAKE MANURE.

When we say the farmers of North
Carolina make too little manure and
buy too much guano, we simply state
what every farmer knows to be the
truth. The difficulty in farming as
we'll as in many other pursuits, is not
that the people do not know, but that
they do not do as we'll as they know.
Every farmer knows that to cultivate
poor land is losing business and yet
he will do it. The time has come
when we are bound to resort to the in
tensive system of farming. We must
make every acre we cultivate rich.
When slavery existed in the South and
man owned certain number OF
hands, it may have possibly paid him
to cultivate poor land rather than not
have his hands employed, but it will
not pay under the present system. No
man can afford to hire hands to cul-
tivate poor land. Thus the raising of
manure becomes a vital matter. There
are no people on earth who give as
little attention to this matter, as the
farmers of the South. If the farmers
in European nations were as careless
about this matter, they would starve.
The same is true of the New England
and Northern States. In every other
country the manure heap is something
which receives the closest attention.
In the South this is not the case. There
is scarcely farmer who makes one
tenth the manure he could, if he were
to give proper attention to the matter.
1t is so much easier to buy manipu-
lated fertilizer, paying in the fall,
which can be put upon the land with
so much less trouble than hauling and
spreading manure, that we depend
upon this. We sincerely believe that
guano has been great curse to the
South, and that our farmers would be
very much better off if they had
never heard of it. There are many
farmers with say twenty or thirty head
of cattle, who do not make fifty loads
OF manure from them during the year.
They are not penned, and if they come
up at night they lie out in the lane
and all their droppings are washed
away by the frs: rain. Make manure.
Let this be one of the principal items
on the farm. Devote attention to it.
Be painstaking and careful about it,
and manure all the land cultivated
