 President Cleveland has new word. When any one comes to sec him on 8 matter of business now, he says, "Well, now, let's 'spute' about it. " He got the word from a story Professor Proctor, the civil service commissioner, told him of an old negro down in Kentucky who was very powerful in theological con troyorsy and was looked up to by the colored people of that section as tho ablest exponent of tho Scriptures, white or black, they had ever seen The old gentleman had worated all dcbators, and, like Alexander, sighed for new worlds to conquer.

 Good mawning, good mawning I done come up to sec if any of you all white gennermens ud like to 'Sputo cr- bout der holy Scriptures dis mawning. '

Why Is IT /!

That Hercules Gas and Gasoline
Engines are held by the public in so
much higher estimation than ethe
engines? The parties using these en-
gines, and their name is legion, ar
the ones who can best answer this
question. They we'll the ease with
which these engines are started and
the very little care they require to
keep them running month after month
without spark battery, which is ad-
mitted to be unreliable. The simple
ignition tubes. of the Hercules Engines
are far better. If you want seconde
hand engines of other makes at cheap
rates we can supply you. We have
a number taken in trade and cannot

Our season. Changing.

q
"There is no doubt whatever that
our climate has undergone wonder
ful changes during the past forty
years" said Col. A. L. Hewlett, of
Chicago, at tho Laclede. II have
observed gradual lengthening of
winter and fall and consequent
shortening of spring and summer
in these two score years since /
have been old enough to think by
comparison about things. Practi-
cally the warm season has been cut
down to little over four months
in this temperate zone, as the re-
gion in which we live is described
by the old geographers. ] have
been puzzled to know the reason of
this slow but distinctly marked me-
neurological revolution, and it was
not until a few weeks ago that any
rational cause has been assigned for
it.
The papers recently told briefly
of the discovery By an obscure
astronomer in Illinois of violent
storms, resembling very much what
are known on earth as cyclones,
raging On the sun. Then along
comes German scholar with a
mastery description of the nebula
theory, showing the sun is under
going the same physical changes of
our planet. This indisputably es-
tablishes the fact that our climate
is simply marking the changes go
ing on throughout the solar system
and that we can never hope for a
recurrence of these regular seasons
to which the human race has ad-
justed its activeness.
We must prepare ourselves to
put in new crops of cereals and de-
pend on a strain of live stock bred
in and Injured to colder weather
The day is coming when the earth
will be a frozen and uninhabitable

it is. but the thought makes me

Mars from Flagstaff

The initial report sent out from
the lowell observatory located at
Flagstaff by Professor Lowell in
charge is quite interesting.
Observations on Mars so far, he
says, have proven highly satisfac
tory. The south polar snow cap,
which by October will have prao-
tically disappeared, still covers
nearly the entire frigid zone. II
appears to be melting rapidly.
A large rift, 1900 miles long and
200 miles wide now cuts it almost
in two. Upon the smaller seq
ment, and just overlooking great
bay in the south polar sea several
brilliant points have appeared.
Back Of these the snow is shaded
to the rift. Such bright points
and the sha ding behind them imply
a range of mountains there.
A similar spot, less brilliant,
upon the main body of snow sug-
gesUs second range. Intersecting
the principal rift is narrower one

Merry But Not Wise.

by those who ceuld not approve his
actions. IIe was merry monarch
and he was 'good company"
His was an age of nick-names
and he wos widely known as "Old
Rowley," the name of an ill-favored
horse in the royal stables. One
day young lady ct court was in
her apartments singing satirical
ballad called "Old Rowley, the
King" when Charles knocked at
the door.
.sWho is ito" she called.
sOld Rowley himself, madam,
he returned, good naturedly.
He could convey reproof with
wit and gentleness. When Penn
stood before him with his hat on,

ANOTHER BIG A

Il has been said, and it is true, that
this is a rich mans panic. Most of the
poor men failed long ago and others
are too poor to make an assignment.
True, some of the rich are reaping a
harvest out of the misfOrtunes of both
poor and rich, but it is only a question
of time, and not long off, when the
very rich will find their ill,gotten gains
an elephant on their hands. We notice
that some of the supposed rich men
who are failing were known to be enc
mics of the reform movement. They
ridiculed and Kissed the very name.
While we are sorry for them, we hope
they will learn a lesson and act like
sensible men hereafter.
A few days ago certain creditors
asked that a receiver be appointed for
the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail
road. This was done. The liabilities
are placed at about $3.50, 900. This has
precipitated other assignments. Capt.
J.. D. Williams, President of the Fay
~etteville Bank, and Mr.. E. J.. Lilly,
assistant cashier, were the first to
cumb. Since that the julius A. Gray
estate and DIR. D. w. @. Benbow,

road and in the North State Improve
ment Company at Greensboro.

IN UTAH.

Utah is very near outside the limits
of civilization. The farmers there
don't raise any cotton and they don't
buy supplies However, the average
muchly married citizen has not escaped
the mortgage planter. The goldbug
has been there; he came, saw and con
quered.
There are 80, 816 families in the State.
About 81 per cent. rent their homes
and farms while 50 per cent. own
them. Mortgages aggregating 81, 974.
943 incumber the homes and farms of
the State. South Carolina is a cotton
State. Her people raise cotton and
play thunder. Her population is FIVE
times as large as that of Utah, where
no cotton is raised, and yet Uaah is
mortgaged to the extent of s632 415
more than South Carolina. The nor
capita debt of South Carolina is about
81 70, while the per capita debt in Utah
is nearly $24, or about sac times as
much. Another bit of additional nroof
that cotton-raising hasn't ruined the
South, and that something else is the
trouble. Seer

A TRUTH-sEEKER GETS 1T,

The Wilmington Messenger of the
oath says:
A prominent gentleman in a county
near Wilmington wrote us on the 10th
INST, lnclOsiDg us a cutting from The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, headed Reform
as Reform Is" Our correspondent is
an old time Democrat and a member
of the last Legislature. He writes to
know how much of truth there is in
the statement of the Raleigh paper. He
says:
Il want to know the facts, but can't
take The PROGRESSIVE FARMER as au-
thOrlty. l know you will tell me the
truth, and hope to receive your can
did reply in a few days"
We have nc axe to grind. We are
anxious to tell the truth and to be &C
curate in all statements of fact. We
have delayed answering that we might
ascertain if possible the truth in the
matter. We will give the result of in.
quiry.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER stated that
the Fifty Second Congress passed a bill
paying 81, 200 to each member of Con
gress for clerk hire. This is exclusive
Of his regular salary. The bill passed.
The House was Democratic and the
Senate Republican. Such a bill did
pass. A friend suggests that he thinks
the clerks get Sc a day. We do not
know how this is. The members often
appoint their own sons as clerks, and
the amount paid in salaries may posi-
bly, vary, but of that we have no intor-
nation.
The other point of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is that the present Congress
voted themselves under the urgenG
deficiency bilI' the snug little sum OF
10 cents mileage each way for the eXCra
sesslon-the sum thus voted amount
ing to $175, 900. Both houses are DemO-
cratic. The Raleigh paper says:

THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE.

According to previous notice The Ma
tional Alliance will meet in Represen-
tative Hall, Topeka, Kansas, on the 9th
of February. If every State is as ably
represented as North Carolina will be,
the meeting will be as good as any yet
held. The Memphis meeting disposed
of several prominent traitors and there
will be no further trouble from that
crowd. There will hardly be any/per-
son there asking for "vindic'atlon, "
hence we anticipate a pleasant, har-
monious and profitable meeting. The
Executive Committee ANNOUNCE that
the city of Topeka will entertain the
delegates free of cost during their stay.
Also that citizens there have already
raised 81, 900 to help defray travelling
expenses. This SHOWS their ~liberality
and enterprise all of which will be
duly appreciated. The South has had
most of the Dlational meetings and it is
but fair t5haG the great Northwest
should have an opportunity to show
the South and East that they are as
h~ospRtable and fraternal as their neigh
hons.

RoTH STATEMENTS ARE MOOR
RECT.

The miserable makeshift of a Con-
oressman or editor who proclalms to
the world that the Mckinley bill keeps
nm wages or that the Wilson bill Will
reduce the price of manufactured
GOODS. are both guilty of telling what
Is not true. The Mckinley bill places
a higher duty upon most articles than
anv similar measure, yet prices OF
goods have gone down since the Dill
became a law. Wages have gone down
more in proportion than the price OF
goods, and thousands Of manutactur
ino concerns are closed or working on
short time. That alone is proof that
the Mckinley bill cannot make the
manufactures nor his workman rich
without a readjustment of our hnan
cial system. Wages have been cut
down about 25 per cent. in the past
twelve months. If the w~age-earner
don't accept the cut his or her place is
at once filed from the ranks OF the
millions of unemployed.
On the other hand the Wilson bill
will not help any, and owing to the
same reasons. If the tariff was abol-
ished goods could not be sold much
cheaper. But the Wilson bill does not
abolish it. 1t only reduces the duty
on articles bearing a high prOhibitory
tariff and still leaves the duty problbl-
tory. 1t is simply a cowardly make
shift, an effort to deceive the people
and keep alive an issue that is well
nigh burned out and obscured by real,
important issues.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-01-30
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
CHANCE.

The Washington correspondent of
the Statesville Landmark says:
''By the time the Wilson tariff bill
gets through the Senate it's ~prOgenitor
will not be able to recognize it At the
present writing it is overloaded with
amendments. Various interests have
their representatives here to watch
these amendments and add others. The
sugar bounty will be up for considera
tiOn to-day. Louisiana has been rep
resented here a week by lawyers and
sugar planters. Tobacco and whiskey
interests are well represented and will
have plenty of money to spt nd"
Now let's see. "Various interests
have their representatives here to
watch these amendments and add
others" Yes, that is what he says.
Now, before going further, we want to
settle an important question. Some
people say that Cleveland is his own
Congress-" Others say Congressman
are running Congress. But this r
respondent, and he is a very intelligent
one, leaves the impression that the
''7arious interests" are doing the work.
They are watching the amendments
and adding Others" 1t would be a
curious spectacle to see a murderer or
burglar in a court house trying his
OWN case, acting as judge, solicitor,
july and witness. He would be sure
to come clear and throw the cost on
