MORE ABOUT WATER.

Pure water has come to be regarded
as sine qato non for good health. This
is especially true for Eastern Carolina.
The DEMOCRAT hopes to see some
movement set on foot soon which will
be the means of securing better drink
ing water in this region And we
know Of no better opportunity for this
than the State farms on the Roanoke
river afford
We hope to see the authorities make
an effort for purer water for the use of
the officers and the convicts. This
would be quite humane In itself, and
if successful 1t would demonstrate the
possibilities of better water for this
whole region

THE TRUE FARMER.

The Raleigh correspondent to the
Charlotte Observer makes the follow
ing observations about agriculture
The agricultural Moses is not yet
come. The agricultural and mechan-
zeal colleges built by the various States
came chiefly from demand that
something be done for the farmers.
Yet, although,lt was the aim to make
these schools agricultural they are all
gradually turned by their trustees, fac
ultles and students, into training
schools for mechanical and industrial
pursuits.
The ante-bellun Southerner made
great success of farming. SeIf-reliance
was probably one of the most import
ant factors IN the success of the old
fashioned planter. To-day the me-
chanic has come to the front and he
Is succeeding very much as the ante
bellum planter did, by careful atten
ton to his business and steady, perse-
vering work. L would seem that
there Is room for somebody to open up
a new way TO success IN agriculture.
When the new farmer comes he Will
probably come with little noise. He
will be known by his success rather
than by the noise he Will make de-
handing that the tariff, the financial
system and all the laws of the country
be changed to suit him. And he
won't want any political Office"

Mr.. II. a. London, OF the Chatham
Record, who was here yesterday, tells
us that his printer, Mr.. J. Morris, who
has printed the Record for fourteen
years, In that time has saved more
than thousand dollars, and will
shortly leave to reside in Texas. He
will take his family with him. He and
his wife came down to Raleigh shop
ping, bringing with them their son
Henry London Morris. -Neecs and o.

An ORDINARY BOY, But HI 5

Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The new Attorney General, Judson
Harmon, is described as a splendid
man physically and Intellectually. He
is truly q man whom the office sought.
instances Of which are unfortunately 50
rare in our political history. He was
in Washington in business III 1886,
and, without seeking an introduction,
met Mr.. Cleveland, who desired to
question HIM regarding an Ohio appli-
cant for office. The President, 1t seems,
never forgot the man.
Being interviewed recently as to his
past, Mr.. Harmon said There isn't
anything in my career that makes it
interesting or particularly remarkable.
It's lust the career of an American 10y
who inherited good name and good
constitution, and who hustled for the
rest" And in this sentence lies a
whole sermon for the ambitious Amer
lean lad who cares to heed 1t.

A GOOD APPETITE

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong, The loss OF a IA
tiOnal desire for food is soon followed
by lack Of strength, for when the supply
OF fuel is cue off the fire burns low
The system gets into a low state, and
Is liable to severe attacks of disease.
The universal testimony given by those
who have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as
to its great merits in restoring and
sharpening the appetite, in promoting
healthy action Of the digestive organs,
and IS a purifier of the blood, consti-
tutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine.
Those who have never used Hoods
oarsaparlla should surely do so this
season.

IS IT SURGICAL?

Almost every day we read the utter
ances Of some silver man, saying that
unless a silyer-standard platform Is
adopted for the next campaign he VIII
NOT suppOrt it. Almost every day, also,
ve road the utterances Of some gold
man. saving that unless gold-standard
platform is adopted for the next cam
paign he will not support 1T. Only
few DAYS ago a meeting was held in
Wilmington in the interest Of the gold
standard idea. IN which some gentlemen
said positively that unless the gold
standard platform is adopted they Will
not support it. They declared they
would not vote for free silver, even If
the Democratic party should make it a
part OF its platform.
THE DEMOCRAT wishes to know what
all these strong assertions mean. DO
they mean that the Democratic party
is in such bad plight that 1T needs
the surgical operation which their dec
larations threaten in order that 1t may
he cured of some cancer that is knaw-
ing at the party's vitals? II so, 1T Will
be necessary to decide first which
cancer is the more dangerous, the gold
or the silver.
But it seems from the strong and pos
tive declarations of certain men that
both the cancers are to be cut away
The silver man is whetting his lancet
to cut away what he regards a gOlC
cancer, and the gold man is whettinE
his lancet to cut away what lie consid
ers silver cancer Now, suppose eacl
man holds to his opinion and When The
time comes he shall suit his action t.
his promises and thrust in his lancet
Can the Democratic party, grand as it
record has been, bear up under tive
such operations at once? 1t seems K
us that with the surgeons knife cut
ting away at the party on two side
at once the patient VIII be SO weakened
that 1t will have little strength Will
which to fight the battle that await
it in 1896.
-----14 .-..,nlns VIC
tory easy for the Republican party? |
seems to us that, inasmuch as neithe
has all the evidence on his side tina
his diagnosis is absolutely correct
1t would be wiser for the gold surgeon
to say that he will do all in his powe
to show that the real cancer is on th
silver SlQe. ana get the silver aONOcat
to let him cut 1t out but If he cannO
do that he will let the silver surgeon
cut and withdraw his lancet until tn
good old party shall recover from tn
first operation. Or, it seems to US i
would be well for the silver surgeon t
do all he car to show that the real car
cancer is on the gold side, and do al
in his power to get the gold advOcat
to allow him to cut it out but If h
cannot do that, let the gold surgeo
cut and then wait for the patient t
grow stronger before he thrusts in hi
lancet.
In any event, it seems to us that fC
both surgeons to operate at once wi
so weaken the patient that disaster wi
follow. And the Democratic party ha
no strength to waste.

NEW )aK sroCK MARK ct

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Trading up
on the Stock Exchange to-day was re-
stricted owing to an indisposition to
make ventures pending the receipt of
definite news from Washington, re-
garding the expected bond issue and
the vote of the House on the bill be-
fore it providing for financial relief.
In the early dealings prices receded on
lower quotations for American securi-
ties cabled from London, and on sell
ing for that account in this market.
The declines were important in only
one or two instances and a firmer tone
soon developed on buying for both ac-
counts, causing sharp improvements,
especially in leather preferred, sugar
and Manhattan. The closing was
strong.
At the top figures and with general
substantial net gains final prices al
though showing liberal concessions
from the highest of the week. reveal
material net gains extending to 10H
per cent in consolidated gas. The ag-
gregate sales were 1887, 100 shares.
To-day's railway bond market was
