The Government Springs a Sensa-
ton On the Eve of Election.
CHICAGO. Nov. IA special
from Winnipeg, Man, says: or
scores OF documents that have been
issued since the parochial school
agitation began, by far the most
sensational has just been pub
lished by the Manitoba govern
ment. 1t has been kept by them
to be sprung on the eve of the gen.
eral election, and the effect of the
startling document is all that has
been expected. 1t arraigns the
Roman Catholic hierarchy for falsi-
flying. The Roman Catholic have
all along commended that their
schools were preserved to them
under the bill Of rights adopted
when Manitoba entered the con-
federation OF Canadian provinces
in 1870. The Protestant conteu-
ton has been that while reference
was made to parochial schools in a
rejected bill Of rights, submitted
in 1873, there was no such reference
in the bill ratified and adopted in
1870 by both provincial and do
minion governments. In answer
to this Protestant contention the
Roman Catholics produced man
uscript bearing the date OF 1870,
which read that the rights of Ro-
man Catholics to their schools
should never be interfered with.
This manuscript bore evidence OF
being reliable and authentic and
seemed conclusive.
Now, however, the government
shows that the date of the docu-
ment was really 1873 and scien-
tific Photographic process reveals
that the figure "3" was changed in
to the cipher 60" The original
figure "3" is by photograph re-
vealed in faded ink like the rest of
the document while the cipher is

FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The Alamance Cleaner is on the right
line in saying that good roads are true
index to the progress of any community.
1t makes a suggestion with reference to
Alamance county which might we'll be
considered by other counties that find it
difficult to make improvements by the
present methods:
"The county is now paying more than
81, 600 year road tax, which would pay
the interest on $50, 900 at six per cent.
and leave 81, 900 which could he put
aside as sinking fund and invested to
pay the principal, or used to further the
road improvement. With $4,000 and
the use of the workhouse forces more
than twenty five miles, perhaps fifty,
first class macadam road could be built.
By this plan the people could at once
begin to reap the benefits arising from
good roads, which would be felt by all
classes"

A FORCE BILL NEEDED IN NEW
ENGLAND.

For a long time certain Republicans
have had a stock in trade argument to
the effect that by DISTINGUISHING the ne
gro vote. the white men in some South
ern States will have as much voice in
legislation as is given to three or five
white men in New England and Penn
sylvania. Some years ago this point
was emphasized and made much Of in
the campaigns. In Mississippi where
the ignorant negroes are constitutionally
disfranchised Ignorant voters are also
disfranchised in Massachusetts,, the in
fluence of an intelligent individual voter
is greater than in a State like North
Carolina.
Whatever ground the New England
Republicans may have had for their con-
tention in the past, table has been pub
lished by Mr.. Geo. Fl. Haynes, that
henceforth will shut the mouth of New
England Republicans. Writing of the in
CAPABILITIES of legislative representatives
in New England, Mr.. Haynes shows that
the Democrats are virtually disfran-
chised, either by the system of rotten
boroughs or district gerrymanders, pre-

THE COST OF RAISING COTTON.

An article appeared recently in the pa
pers stating that Mr.. D. P. McKinnon, a
farmer of Richmond county, would raise
cotton at the cost Of or 81 cents a
pound In yesterdays Charlotte Obser-
yer, Mr.. S. NJ. Thomas, of Laurinburg,
one of the most successful farmers in the
State, does not believe that cotton can be
made 80 cheaply. lie says:
81 think have raised cotton about as
cheap as Mr.. McKinnon, but have not
been fortunate enough to produce it and
put it in marketable shape for 3 or b cts.
per pound. claim to have as good
farm for the production of cotton as any
in this State, and also claim to be an
up-to- date planter. have given close
attention TO cotton culture for the
past thirty years. have kept a
regular set of farm books for the
past II years | fnd the cost Of labor in
1890 and 1894 about the same; fertilizers
about % per cent. cheaper in %. In
1890 | sold my crop OF cotton for an
average price of 8 76. / made twenty
three and a half bales, 500 each; for
each pillow on my farm that crop cost me
g. 81 to put the cotton into bales. The
taxes on my farm, wear and tear Of i'm
elements, wear and tear of stock, rents
or interest on my farm, were left out.
Last year, 1894, made twenty two
bales Of cotton, 500 each, over 200 bush
els of corn and 800 pounds of pork for
elch one horse farm. | estimate the
average price at 12 cents per pound;
that crop cost me $50 to put it into
bales The taxes, implements, stock and
interest were left out, as in 1890. Now
to get at the actual cost of producing
cotton | reduced the value of my farm
one-third of what was offered for it in
1890. / have estimated the wear and
tear of implements and stock, and find
the net profit of my crop, 1894, paid
me % per cent. on my investment.
So to get 6 per cent. on my invest
ment / should get 6 cents per pound
for cotton, in other words, it cost 6
cents per pound to raise cotton, if you
expect per cent. for your investment.
Bear in mind the amount of produce /
raised with each pillow. Lower The price
the more it costs to make cotton, the
price of labor remaining the same. If
my friend, Mr.. McKinnon, or any one
else, will furnish an itemized statement,
showing that they can produce cotton for
3 or 12 cents per pound, will thank
them for it.
We hope Mr. McKinnon will give his
receipt to the world so that all the farm
ers can make cotton at and 8 l 2 cents,
and then get rich. 1t is the information
the farmers have long wanted.

No Leaning Towards POpulism--NO

No Leaning Towards POpulism- N o
Division on Monetary Standards.
From the Morganton Herald.
If the Democracy goes bravely ahead,
true to its principles, and turning neither
to the right nor the left; if it permits the
politicians to adopt no "cowardly make
shifts" in the pursuit of Office; if it acts
conservatively and consistently; if it
don't become ratified and panic-stricken
in the presence of danger and with the
prospect of defeat, it may safely count
on the return to its ranks of the great
majority of those who have deserted,
and it may look forward with confidence
to the time when the people will restore
to it the administration Of the affairs of
a great State whose honor it has con-
stantly maintained AID whose advance
ment and enlightenment has been it's en-
during aim.
But if, on the other hand, it allows
the hope of present success to lure it from
the path of honor; if it forsake the prin-
ciples that have given it life and make
the lust for office its chief end; if it for
get the precepts of the great prophets of
the party and "go whoring" after the
idols of Populism; if it allow the De
lilah of expediency to despoil it of its
seven locks of strength, it will, like
Samson, become the sport of the Philis-
tines and its name will be a by-word
and its me DRY a reproach

Labor-saving inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's bread
out of their mouths. Although experience
has shown the fallacy of that theory the
feeling, or fear, was natural.
But it is not so much the lack of work rs
the inability to work that causes poverty
and suffering. In England and Wales every
workingman averages ten days of sickness
every year, with a total loss of wages for all
Of about SS000000O per year. In this country
the loss is much greater. In all countries
the prevailing disease is indigestion and
dyspepsia and it's conseq as
rheumatism, and other ailments resulting
from impure blood; result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy cure
for this universal and obstinate malady eN.

munity of Shakers placed upon the market
their now famous remedy called the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t is prepared from roots

ing more certain, safe and palatable can be

body by means of the bowels, kidneys and
SKIN, ana 1mpartS vigor and tone to the

For many years the Shakers have given
earnest attention to this subject, and their
final success is thankfully admitted by the
multitudes who have been cured by the
Cordial after all other means have failed.
Their high reputation for skill as herbaliSts
for honesty and religious sincerity guaran-

No invention can ever take your work
