Everybody's Man.
winston Sentinel, I

1t is natural impulse of mankind
to dwell upon, or even magnify the
faults or mistakes of their neighbors
and to give no publicity and but little
credit to them for any good they do.
The public are always ready to dis
cover and decry any fault or weakness
in their newspaper but the cases where
they credit them with the good they
have done, are exceedingly rare. But
evidences that the masses are aware of
the usefulness of the press, are by no
means wanting.
If one wishes to obtain prominence
before the public; if there is an enter
prise of any kind to put on its feet, or
the favor and good will of the people
to be sought for any purpose what
ever, the newspaper is enlisted at
once, and in most cases is expected to
do the work gratuitously.
We must defend every mans case,
champion every mans cause, serve
everybody's purpose, be every ones
friend.
We must give publicity to every
thing that any one wants uncovered
and suppress everything that any one
wants hid.
we are expected to walk through
the midst of the struggling, clashing
throngs Of daily life, and come in
contact with no one, aiding all men
and getting in no mans way.
This seems to be the general idea Of
what newspaper should be to the
people. But there are men who are
exceptions to this rule, and who ap-
precate the value of their paper and
recognize the difficulties with which
they have to contend. We have our
friends, to them we are grateful. If
we thought we had no enemies we
would feel that we had failed in our
duty to our patrons.

Is prompt and decisive in his deal
lngs, aud does not overtrade his capital.
Prefers short credits to long ones,
and cash for credit at all times, either

OF better gains with more hazard.
He is clear and explicit in his bar
gains.
Leaves nothing Of consequence to

SAMBO FOR CHAPLAIN.
Memphis Commercial.

1t is said that several COlored minis
tiers will he candidates for the position
OF chaplain of the next House Of Con-
gress. We hope that one of them will
be chosen. The colored preacher is
proverbially strong in prayer and has
an unique and original style of suppl
cation that would be revelation to
Congressman accustomed to the stiff,
dry as-dust prayers of the average
chaplain. The style of prayer usually
dealt out to the country's lawmakers
has formal cut, is as conventional as
a clerical coat and as evenly polished
and as nicely rounded as though the
petitioner were contributing to the
literature Of Heaven instead of humbly
begging pardon for sin and seeking
the guidance of the Most High. A
reform in congressional devotions is
imperatlvely demanded. What Con-
gress, especially the next Congress,
needs is good, old fashioned, robust,
plantation prayer-prayer full OF
melody and emotion, that will raise
the conscience of a bald-headed rep
rebate from the dead and knock like
thunder at the pearly gate No other
than negro parson can fill this long
felt want. And if negro chaplain is
TO be selected, let him be sure enough
old fashioned Sambo, full OF the spirit
and strong in the native faculty and
untaught power that belongs only to
the untutored Senegambian of the
lowlands. The educated negro is
rank failure in prayer. He has sacri-
feed all the originality, the fervor, the
JUNCTION OF his race to technical skill
in prayer craft. The genuine, soul
moving negro prayer must not be
tettered by syntax, nor even by the
dictionary. 1t must 60 to Heaven its
own way and on its own wings. There
is an angel there that will correct all
its mistakes and make it read accord
ing to the heart of the supplicant. The
Reed Congress will need a chaplain
of this sort to expostulate the throne of
grace-one that can boldly grapple
with the mercy of the Lord, even as
Jacob did with the angel, and not let
go except with blessing. That Con-
gress, unless all signs and precedents
fail, will be wild and woody and the
chaplain ought to harmonic with his
surroundings.

The Reasonable View.
Charlotte ObSeryer,I


We find the following in the Raleigh
Press, and it has the right ring about
it, having especial force by reason Of
its coming from an alumnus of Wake
Forest:
We see from the Charlotte Observer
that the Baptist State Convention has
appointed a committee to memorabilia
the next Legislature in regard to COM
petition of Baptist institutions wake
ForesD with the University. We are
an alumnus of Wake Forest and we
are interested in every movement that
is TO the interest of the College, but
what good this committee on men,
oraliZation can do is beyond our sight.
Any body with half a spoonful OF
gray matter i'll their heads is bound to
know that the University is not in
competition with Wake Forest. But
if it were. it would be so much the
better for it. Competition. the life of
trade, should certainly not be the
death OF educational enterprises. pro-
'ioS, ihSD NoUiu SUI" 1auSe Iol IN Iue.
If Chapel uill should kill Wake Forest,
the last named owes it to the Young
men of the State to crawl in its hole
and die. All this memoria, business
is pitiful whine, and it is going to
be kept up until the fossils at the head
OF the movement are out of the way.
We are friend to every educational
enterprise and particularly to our alma
mater and our State schools. ANY
man who does not love the University.
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, and the State Normal School, is
unworthy of citizenship among US.

GOOD BACON.
Commissioner John Robinson Tells
How TO Cure and Keep 1t to
Perfection.

Having frequently been asked how
to cure good, sweet bacon, and the
time being now at hand to begin this
nice, particular work, herewith give
my own plan which | have practiced
FOR forty years or more with success.
In the first place, to make good
bacon, hogs must be fat, and the
younger they are the better the bacon
for whites to eat, if they have sufficient
size. should prefer not to have any
hogs for bacon over one year old.
They should at that age be easily
made to weigh $50 to $50 pounds
each.
After being nicely butchered and
cleaned and cold enough to cut out
smoothly, cut up as desired. Hams
and shoulders prefer to have closely
cut that is, leave as much to the
sides as possible. Hams especially
should be closely trimmed. Salt we'll
and pack on platform made for the
purpose, with slope sufficient to pass
the drippings or brine from the meat !;
use about 4 teaspoontul Of saltpetre on
each joint and pack closely on plat
form. After having lain in salt not
more than eight days-if the weather
is favorable and not TOO cold five or
six days is better-take it up and
re salt as at first, except don't use any
more saltpetre, and repack as before.
Here Is where great many fail IN
making good bacon, by not resulting
and at the proper time. The salt be-
tween the meat at the thick parts will
readily dissolve and the pieces will
come together, and if allowed 20 re-
main SO, Will more or less sour, and
the meat is never good and sweet
aft rwards. BY Resulting as above
described this is avoided and the meat
IS kept sweet and palatable.
After having lain in salt four or five
week ks the meat should be taken up
and washed clean and well wiped,
and If it is desired to keep sweet and
perfect, put IN sack made for the pur
pose Of ordinary cotton goods, tying
the mouth OF the sack firmly with a
good, strong string, which should be
used tor hanging It up. Have large
kettle with ashes and water heated to
about boiling point, sufficient to I'M
merse each piece, holding it firmly by
the string with which it is tied.
This immersion is to destroy any
eggs of insects that may have been
deposited upon it, and also fills the
openings in the cloth with ashes 50 as
to prevent any further depreciation
upon it by flies or other insects.
After this the meat should be hung
up to dry with plenty Of fresh air. |
prefer hams and shoulders hung with
the hooks down. The drippings will
thus be absorbed by the hooks. A
sweet, juicy hook is good enough for
the most fastidious.
If your house is a close one, bore
auger holes in the gable ends of roof
SO as to admit plenty of air.
| knew a gentleman, railroad
president, who hung his meat high up
in warehouse in the town where he
lived, to dry, and it kept perfectly
without any further care or attention.
Meat prepared as above will keep
sweet and perfectly indefinitely and
will not become rancid, not even on
the outside, fatty parts. have hams
put up as above last winter that are
perfect.

Nh Harvey ipstl6es the debate thai
L DOW drawing 10 q close IN Chicago
between himself and MI. Horr, Cd five
grounds, which should be constantly
borne IN mind by al Ehe wish tC
think and talk intelligently upon thi:
important snbject- He shows the in-
portanoe OF the controversy, for these
reasons
First-For 200 years prior To .he
demonstration OF silver In 1873, sil-
Yer was seeking the mints Of The
world for coinage into money.
Seeond-For 200 wears prior TO 1873
there was no variation between the
commercial and legal ratio of 15s TO L
During the - years since 1873, how
ever the two ratios had beoeme sepa-
rated widely and gone from l54 to i &c
about 3 10 L
Third-For 33S wears prior 10 1873
the quantity ratio between silver and
gold ranged from SO OF silver 20 ! o.
gold, but Notwithstanding this wide
variation, the commercial ratio and
clung tenaciously TO the legal ratio.
Fourth-The price OF silver IN the
London market, as measured IN gold,
up to 1873, was practically steady,
while since that date silver had de-
cllned from 90 pence per ounce to
2S-7 pence.
Fifth-That this violent f1uctnation
IN the price Of silver had been going
on since It's demonefizaflon, and l.
going on to-day.
