REMARKS.
where; Gathered by the
Advance Reporter.

Country Subscriber: I would
like to make a suggestion, that the
mayor of Worthington, some fine
day, when he is not busy with
those crossings referred to in your
last issue, should put on his specs,
mount his cycle, and take whlrl
down on the lake shore and take
a look at the road between Pan
neps ice house and r. w Moberly's
residence. This, last spring, was
one of the worst pieces of road in
the country, one farmer breaking
his doubletree trying to get
through with ali empty wagon
and bids fair, should it not be re-
paired, to become nearly or quite
impossible at the spring breaking
up next season.
Aug. Falk: 1 look for as good
trade this fall and winter as
Worthington ever had. We are
making preparations to take care
of a good share of it.
Mr.. Ouaintance, of Slayton: [
get down to Worthington quite
often, not because 1 expect to 40
a large business here but because
I like the Worthington people. Its
good to associate with them.
Sam. Haislet: Idon't consider
shat there is a county seat ques-
ton before the people at present.

ENCOURAGING Words.

We understand that provisions,
me ats and lard have gone up very
high. The chief reason given tor
advocating the sDti-option bill was
That it would put the prices of such
things up, and even as it is they
are getting to be beyond the reach
Of ordinary people. What, then,
wonld haye been the result if the
anti option bill bad passed and
the reasoning above mentioned had
proved correct! But that is by the
way, for what we wish to do is to
call the attention OF The farmers of
North Carolina to the benefit tia
will accrue to them from making
provisions
TIE present crop of cotton will
be sufficiently short 10 make the
market stiff and prices will rule
higher during the Spring, and also
during the summer, if the pros
poets Of the new crop are OF too
favorable. If our farmers shall
adhere 10 the rule adopted last
year and limit the cotton acreage,
hey will make money and be plca~
teroue. Tie fine prices for meat
and provisions should induce them
to turn their attention to the old
channel Ut farm fe, and to raise
their own bac "a and have some to
sell. Then By limiting the cotton
crop, they will also obtain good
prices for their cotton, and they
will make money.
One good year OF sensible farm :
ing will relieve the South of her
troubles Oae good year of plenty
of provisions and eleven cents for
colten will pay off oue millions Of
debt,

Farmers are actively engaged in

raised SO mnch larger food crops

4 Needed Amendment.

Senator Sherman has re;ntro-
duced what is apparently the same
Iroposal Tor an amendment To the
Cons nstitntion that was offered by
Senator Evart5 tive years ago, fix
ing April Both, as the date upon
which the term OF office of the
President and members of Cons
gress shall begin. Tne avowed
object Of this proposed change is
to put inauguration day at a sea-
son when the weather is less likely
to be stormy. Desirable as this
may be in itse f it is not worth
while to 20 through all the long
torutalities of changing the Con :
stitution merely to improve the
chance Of tine day for the parade,
especially when the change wonld
increase instead # removing the
serious objection to the present
date.
That objection IS, q course, the
long interval b6t ween the ectlon
of members Of Congress and their
entrance upon their duties, allow
ing and requiring session OF the
old Congress after the people have
vo ed it out. To proiong the term
of the diec:edited repre- sentatives
two months further wonld aggra~
vate this evil, putting Congress al-
most ont OF the reach of the peo-
pie it is supposed to represent.
There can be no doubt that the
trainers OF the Constitution, in
fixing the first Monday in Decem-
Der as the time for the meeting OF
Congress. expected that the e-ecs
lions won]d bo held IN the autumn
immcdiave.y preceding. Ii hap
peued, in getting the machinery OF
the Constttu ton starred, that the
1e2 gove1 nmeut could not be ors
ganized uati S2ring, and thus an
accidental date was fixed from
which the terms OF two years and
four years have since been counted.
The Constitution does not fix this
date, but it does fix the length of
the term. which cannot be even
temporarily extended or reduced ,as
would be required to change this
date, without the formality Of an
amendment.
The difficulties Of commcnicas
tion that caused 50 much delay a
century ago do not exist now. a
newly elected Congress and a new
President also, might jus; as well
come into office o. the 1st of Jan~
uary as OF the 4.h cf March. Is
could then get Immediately to
work under It's instructions, in
stead cf waiting, as now, an entire
year, and allowing a morally de~
funct Congress to do any amount
Of mischief in the mean while.
This is the reform shat is really
needed. The necessity was never
more inperativelr shown than
this year, and If Senator Sherman
OF any n>af' Of similar authority in
either house will only take it u.
earnestly he could carry constit
tu7louat amend mcnt to this effect
that would he promptly ratified by
the States.-Phdladelphta Times.

A PAS SFORAL.

Along the lane beside the mead
Where cowslip-gold is in the grass
I matched the milkmaid's easy speed,
A tall and spripgipg country lass,
But though she had merry plan
To shield her from my soft replies,
Love played at Catch-me-it-ycuCan
In Mary's eyes.
A mile or twain from Varley bridge
plucked dock-leaf for fan.
And drove away the constant midge,
And cooled her forehead's strip of tan
But though the maiden would not spare
My hand her pretty fin inger-tips,
Love played at Kiss me -if-you Dare
On MarY's lips,
And now the village flashed ir sight,
And closer came I to her side,
A flush ran down into the white.
The impulse of a pinky tide,
And though her face was turned away,
How much her painting heart con
iessed!
Love played at Find me-if-you May
Ia Mary's breast.

Father, guide them;

Walking, sleeping, Lore, we pray,
Go beside them.
When in prayer they cry to Thee.
Do Thou hear them;
From the stains of sin and shame,
DO Thou cleal them;
Mid the quicksand and the rocks
Do Thou steer them;
In temptation, trial. grief
Be tbou near them.
Unto Thee we give them;

In the world we know must be
Much to grieve them
Many striving oft and strong
To deceive them.
Trustful in Thy hands of love

Groundless Fears.

Our morning neighbor bas wors
ried itself into the belief that
''tariff reform has been dropped"
by The Democratic party and is
"a dead issue for the time being,"
and it derides the "mugwumps and
free traders" for their supposed in
consistency in this regard. Oae
would suppose that our neighbor
violently opposed Democratic tariff
reform bills heretofore supported
by the party aud aided the little
Randall faction in defeating them,
it woulu now iud cause for rejoic-
ing and congratulstion oyer this
fancied change of purpose instead
of gibes and lamentations. But
times change and men have right
to change (for the better) with
them. So we will let that pass
The idea of the Democratic
party abandoning tariff reform! 1t
mIght Just as reasonably be said
that they intended abandoning
their organization, for tariff reform
is the political issue that holds its
clements together-the issue upon
which they won their splendid
victories Of 1890 and 1892, and
which has now secured for them
full control of the government.
But, as we took occasion to say
severa! weeks ago, there are serious
imp ediments to the speedy realizas
ton of full measure Of tariff res
form The finances of the governs
lnent are in precarious condition,
to say the least. The Harrison ad>
mipistration has had to avail itself
of funds always previously held as
reserves to enable it to ''1nake both
en- Is meet or show a favorable
balance in its financial statements.
Whether this was legally and
properly done or not. it was done
as a meast re OF necessity,
The question then arises, are the
revenues OF the government now
sufficient to meet expenses impose!
by Republican extravagaDce,
This question must be settled bes
fore the precise measure of tariff
reform that may be safely under
taken at this time can be deterr
mined. In some instances. dou bt-
less, a reduction of the duties
would hing in more reven ue; in
others, il would have contrary ef-
feet.
Then there is complication
arising from the several reciproc-
ity treaties already entered into,
1t remains to be seen TO what ex.
tent they will reduce the revenue,
and whether the benefit to the
people derived from them is sutfis
cient TO justify the continuance or
extension of tie po icy.
The heathen may rage and the
whangSdood e mourn. but we
think we may safely rcassure our
perturbed neighbor that its new
born fears OF the abandonment OF
tariff reform are aroundIess, and
that thu Democratic party will, as
soon as it can intelligently and
safely do SO, accomplish the great
work which the people have en-.
trusted to its hands.-AtI0nta
