firm the doctrine Of The par
ty AS ennunciated by the Chi
cago Convention of 1892; and
desire to signify as follows
what is the construction plac
ed by W. upon the section
thereof relating to silver, viz:
We hold that it is the duty
of the law-making depart
ment to the government now
in the hands OF Democracy,
to take immediate steps to
restore by legislation the e.
quail privilege OF silver with
gold at the mints. by the free
Il n d unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver ut o ra-
ito of 16 to |, such being the
ratio of coinage which Ii a =
heretofore held in the United
States.
Resolved End, Thntwe urge
upon the said law-making d,
partment of the government
t he abolition of the constitu-
tional and prohibltive tax
of 10 per cent. uponthe issue
of State banks.
Resolved 3rd, That in view
OF the depleted condition in
which the Republicansa1Inin
istration left the Treasury of
the United States--present-
ing as it did such Il lamenta-
bic contrast to the overflow
ing condition in which it was
delivered by Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration to it's re-
publican succeSsOr-we urge
upon the said lax-making de
partInent, the immediate en-
actment of an income tax.
Resolved 4th, That we en-
pha tically approve the tariff
doctrine enunciated in t b ?
Chicago platform.
Resolved 5th, That while
we are opposed to the slight
est qualification, in favor OF
the federal government, OF
the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on State bank issues, we
nevertheless advocate as n
matter OF State policy such
regulation and restriction OF
the issues of the banks char
tered by North Carolina as
will secure a sound currency.
Resolved 9Th, That we ad-
mire the courage and lofty
patriotism of the President,
and that we most heartily
commend his prompt and ef-
fective action under the law
for the suppression OF the al
len anarchists to disturb, by
force and violence, the true
relations of labor and capi-
tai; his sturdy efforts to Sc
cure the enactment Of tariff
reform as called for in t h g
party platform; his prompt
approval of the billrepcaling
the Federal election law; the
notable reduction of the ex-
penses of government under
his administration, and the
freedom from scandal which
has been such a marked fea
ture OF his return to t h e
head OF affairs.
Wepoint with pride to the
record Of the Democratic par

dorse the present State ad-
Iministration. For eighteen

BEANS AND PEAS.

There is need in our farming rota-
tion to use more fully the leguminous
plants, such as clover, peas, beans.
lupines, etc. These plants not only
furnish with hay and corn more
complete ration for feeding stock than
hay and corn alone, but they also
furnish means of improving the land
in manner that can not be done
without them except by buying ex-
pensive fertilizers. There is nothing
that furnishes better preparation
for a good crop of corn or potatoes or
almost any other crop than good
clover sod; where land is too poor to
start clover it must be enriched either
by manuring or by green manuring
with lupines and vetches, which will
thrive on poorer land than clover
Peas and beans are grown largely
by our market farmers for selling
green, and any surplus is often dried
and threshed but large part OF the
supply OF dried beans and peas used
in our city markets comes from Cana
da and various European countries
where the culture Of these crops is
better understood than here. The
climate of our Northern States is we'll
adapted to growing these crops. and
there is no good reason why our farm
ers cannot grow at profit large part
of the million and half of dollars
worth of these crops now imported.
One drawback TO the successful grow
ing of beans of late years is the blight
or rust which attacks the leaves and
pods and seriously damages the crop
in many cases. II is now well under
stood that this disease is caused by
par ,sitic fungus and can be success
fully warded off by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture.
There is danger that Boston baked
beans" may have TO be called by some
other name if we have TO import our
supply of them. Rally, then, all We
patriotic farmers, and save us from
such humiliation
The use Of peas as field crop sovr
With oats and harvested either In the
green state for fodder or made into
hay, later, is increasing in New Eng
land and deserves 10 increase still
more. There are few crops that will
give better satisfaction in the long
run, we believe, than these on the
dairy farm.
There are also many farms at a dis
tance from market where the growing
OF peas and beans To be threshed and
sold dry would prove an important
addition TO the marketable products
and n valuable addition to the farm
rotation. -Masssc husetts Ploughman.

BEGIN WITH CALvRs.

A cattle feeder insists that as prep
aration TO the desired end-the pro-
duction of cattle large and fat at the
least expense-feeding should begin
with ths calves. They should be
taught to eat while they are drinking
milk. Keep oats in trough near by
for this purpose. Their future growth
depends largely upon the care given
the first year. After they are weaned
continue TO give them oats chopped
on ground feed, have them we'll housed
in cold weather, and keep them in
good growing condition all winter.
Yearling calves are more easily win
tered. but they should have the same
sort of regimen and care. 1t takes no
more feed, when properly and regu-
larly given. TO keep the calves fat all
their lives than to half do it, Then
they can be fitted for market, il de-
sired, in short time. Chicago Times

II is said that German officer has
invented motor in which n fine
stream of coal-dust is utilized to
drive n piston by explosions in the
same manner as the gas in the gas
engine. The Krupps are now max
ing their works at Essen. 1t has
long been known that finely pulver-
lied coal in suspension in the air is
highly explosive. and il has been held
responsible for some OF the most
frightful colliery disasters, but this
is the first attempt to utilize it in
this way New York Witness.

lutes and MandoIins.

The Lutte is supposed to be origi-
nally Persian instrument, and it
was during the Middle Ages that it
was first known in Europe, where it
became a great favorite. Poets sang
its praises; Shakespeare puts lutes
in the hands Of many of his heroines.
This beautiful instrument is now
out of use, and all the specimens in
existence are very old. The difference
between the lutte and the guitar is
principally in the body, which in the
Lutte is pear-shaped. This made it a
very delicate instrument and trouble
some TO keep in order, as the peculiar
shape made the wood warp and
crack An English writer, early in
the seventeenth century, recommends
that the lutes be in bed covered up
from the air, when not in use. and he
says that with very good luck the
body will not need TO be repaired
more than once year; and n famous
French lutenist, as q Lutte player was
called, declared that it cost him as
much to keep his lutte "a it would to
keep a horse. 1t is no wonder that
lutes went out of use. In 'Eyelyn's
Diary" it is stated that lutcs Of that
period were made mostly in Germany,
and that they were very costly. An
old Lutte Of rich, mellow tone would
sometimes be valued as high as one
hundred pounds.
The mandolin is similar in shape
10 the lutte. but il is a very much
smaller instrument. 1t has been a
fayorite i'm Italy and Spain for cen
turics. and it is now very popular in
America. 1t is a beautiful little in
strument. The strings are in pairs,
and are played with a plectrum OF
tortoise shell, whalebone, or ostrich
quill, held in the right hand.-LSt.

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES.

In the majority of cases, the spring
of the year is the best season for plant
ing strawberries. When the plants
are received from the nursery, they
should be unpacked at once and spread
ont In cellar, to prevent heating,
and in planting the roots should not
be exposed TO the sun or air. The
ground should be free from weeds, and
well fertilized. The rows may be thirty
inches apart, plants one foot apart in
the row. They need to be frequently
cultivated to keep down all weeds,
which are the strawberry growers
greatest enemy. In the autumn, after
the ground has become firmly frozen,
the plants shoNd be covered with
leaves, clean straw, or corn fodder
Stable manure should not be used on
these beds, because full of seeds
Strawberry beds should be renewed
every two or three years if the best
fruit is desired. American Agricul.

The watchcase was made Of two

The watchcase was made Of two
circular pieces OF cardboard, Joined
together with a strip Of the same ma
terial three-fourths Of an inch wide,
but only three-fourths of the circum-
ference Of the disc in length, the
opening at the top allowing the watch
TO slip into the pocket thus formed.
The back and front Of the case
were covered with pale green silk,
and upon the front was painted an
owl, with this motto in irregular let
ters: IN keep watch" The side
formed the sachet, being overlaid with
scented wadding and covered with a
full puff of violet silk, forming ruff
fie at the back. 1t was suspended
by violet ribbon.
The favors at recent lunch party
were three-cornered sachets OF wide
MORE apple blossom pink silk. A
square of the ribbon was folded into
a triangle, with two sides of the tri-
angle fringed for half an inch. After
filling with scented wadding, the
name of the recipient and the date of
the lunch were painted across in gilt.
A pocket sachet cushion which you
may have to carry in your bag, is

the border are worked solid in q

Gus arrangement OF the seat, which

able parts, so that il need be it can

judging from the appearance and
cost, it is hardly probable. 1t re-
