EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Durham Sun wants to know who
Is the leader of the Democratic party
in North Carolina. Better let it requies-
cat in pace, Bro. Robinson.
The st. Louis Monitor says a general
Alliance boom In Missouri is not an
improbability for the near future. 1t
can and should be a certainty.
The Sultan of Turkey is a stiff necked
ruler like President Cleveland, and his
madness has got him into trouble with
all foreign countries and a war may re
suit.
Cotton will not pan out more than
half a crop this fall and after giving
it an impartial trial before a picked
jury, the farmers have admitted most
of it to bale.
Rush in your stock for the shoe fac
tory. You can't afford to miss getting
your shoes in the future at from 80 to
40 per cent. below present prices. That
is what the factory will do.
You may not be in the drug business,
but if you will place your advertise
ment in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER that
large stock of goods in your store will
not be a drug on the market much
longer.
Congress will meet in two weeks.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER will make
special efforts to give all the important
proceedings in a concise form. You
can't afford to be without it, so don't
let your subscription expire.
The Raleigh tobacco market is still
giving entire satisfaction 80 far as We
can hear. Tobacco is coming in from
distant parts of the State by rail, as
well as from local farmers. Both ware
houses had good breaks nearly every
day last week.
Business failures last week numbered
1888 in the United States against go for
the same week last year. That is the
way prosperity returns. Our readers
can see that we were right in our pre-
adictions. In the meantime administra-
ton papers continue to lie.
1t is more than likely that the repeal
of the Sherman law and the bond issues
all done for the purpose, as alleged. of
stopping the export of gold from this
country to England, will have the de-
sired effect. All of it will o be pona
and the expectation process will have
to stop.
One Of our subscribers has told us
that he has been thinking of writing
to US for a new kind of corn for n of
his n~eigh5ors, who, he says, raises corn
to sell every year and invariably has
to buy shucks. This is a STANCE state
of affairs. He must raise a Populist
7VRriety-all corn and no shuck.
Brethren, get a move on you. It is
apparent to all that the Alliance is the
earthly salvation of this country. Its
principles will never die, and its mem
bership should remain a unit. Let, the
emclals manifest more Alliance lead
eEshlp and less party leadership. Par
are nothing in this crisis withou,
AAllance as a great balance wheel

Senator Teller declares that he will
not go a step further with the R9pub-
lican party if it dominates a gold STAN
dard man for President. Senator Vest
talks in about the same way OF the
Democratic party. TIE question is
can the Republican party do business
without a Teller, and will the Demo,
cratic party dare appear in public
without q VestR

1t seems that the telegraph and DO
litical managers did more stalWart
lying about the recent elections than
ever before. According to their first
reports the Republicans carried every.
thing, The truth is now coming out
The Populists carried many couHaa
in Kansas and Colorado that they
never carried before, and did it with a
straight ticket, the victories heretofore
being fusion victories. They also made
immense gains everywhere else where
any interest was manifested. Manyd
cur Colorado and Kansas exchange
have ~r0osters at the head of their COL
umps The truth can't be conCead
much longer.

The Water Discharged by a River.

Many rules and methods have been given for calculating the quantity of water discharged by a river, but the following appears to be the dearest and best To get a mean velocity of a river or other stream find first the surface velocity in the line of current by observing the rate of feet per minute at which a floating body is earned down. As an approximation Co the truth the mean velocity may be taken at four-fifths of the great est surface velocity, and if this is multiplied by the area in feet of the cross section of the stream the prod uct is the discharge in cubic feet per minute. For military purposes the following rule is given for ascertain ing how many men a stream is ade- quate to supply; Multiply the veloc- ity per minute by the breadth, depth and 900, and this will give the num- Der of men for which the brook is an adequate supply. The velocity of feet per minute is obtained by float ing a cork, noting the distance it travels in a given time. New York DisDatch.

II have just discovered" said the woman who Is struck with an idea every once in while, why it is that the men don't want us to vote. !"
 Why is itl' said her visitor.
 Well, it's too much toexpect that a man should agree with his wife in politics
 Yes" came the answer, with a sigh. Men are so contrary"
 And they foresee very clearly that the simplest way would be for a husband and wife to pair and stay away from the polls altogether, then he wouldn't have any excuse for leaving his home and making a day and a night of it. l tell you there is great deal of scheming in this world.

Linr. at hmm, Cntt.r,.

At Burns cottage, Ayr tAlloway) 1 copied literally the following print ed scrap. It is inclosed in glas, case and without date. The linei were written at the cottage. Burn. was the great poet of humanity: Though Scotland boast thousand names Of patriot. king and peer.
 The noblest, grandest Of them all
 Was loved and eradied here. 'Tis but cot roofed in with straw
 A hovel made with clay.
 One door shuts out the snow and storm: One window greets the day.
 And yet I stand within this room
 And hold all thrones in scorn, For Aere beneath this lowly thatch
 Loves sweetest bard was born. Within bis humble hut feel
 Like one who clasps a shrine When the glad lips at last have touched The something deemed divine.

 A swashing fellow got on a railway train, whirled a seat over and sat down opposite a modest man with face noticeably serious, My name is Saunders, said he, and he looked about as though the statement might meet with opposition, but no one felt disposed to dispute his asser- uon. Yes, sir, ,' be added, my name Is Saunders. and l reckon that I've got a pint of the finest whisky ever made in the blue grass country, but want to say right here that no man gets a drop of it Why, it was hid out by my grandfather durin the war, and there was moss on the keg when he took it. wouldn't take Ss a drink for 1t, and own a distillery too.
 Your whisky does not in the least interest me said the man. 1t might be 10 times as old, might have been hidden out by 80 grandfa- thers, and still I couldn't help looking on it with contempt wish every drop in the world was poured into the ocean

 ''Ah. ha. and we'll soon be there. I reckon a committee will meet you at the depot

 And you'll shake hands all around and call 'em brother this and that, and you'll go home with them and have a great old time runnin down my business-haye a regular love feast of islander. I'm half inclined to shape you up for that committee. Wish 1 had some ordinary ticker. I'd make you drink it.

A Well Paid Author.

There is in Ribe, Denmark, one au- thor who is paid much better for his work than Zola. That man is the venerable bishop of Ribe, Mir. Bal sley, the author of 'Luther's Little Catechism, With Explanatory Re marks" Up to date the little cate chism has appeared in l60 editions, about the same number which Mana has reached. But while ev- cry edition of Mana" only consists of 1000 copies that of the catechisra amounts to 10000, and although it contains only 72 small pages, half of which are crowded with quotations. the bishop of Ribe has derived as large a revenue from Luther's little catechism as Zola has from his own big Mana, which numbers nearly 500 pages, closely printed. An exact calculation will show that one single verse of the Lords Prayer, Give us this day our daily bread, " accompa- nied by the explanatory remark. Pray for that only which you need r is worth $l, 900 to the bishop. New York Sun.

AMERICAN MADE CANDY.
Nothing Injurious tO Health Can Be Pound
 Ia Its Ingredients.

Nothing lptUrtous 10 Health Gan tse Found
 Ia Its Ingredients.
 G. ". Jenkins of Philadelphia, an officer of the National Confectioners association, talked to a reporter abou. the composition of candy. Our Rs- sOciation, he said, with great em. pbasis, will forfeit S100 and anoth. CT similar association will forfeit a ike sum to any one who will find the smallest portion of any substance in furious to health in any American made candy. This offer remains open indefinitely"
 "All American candy is made of pure sugar thenf
 Fl will not say that Some of the cheaper grades are made partly of fine four or of pulyerized starch. Glucose IS also used to some extent. But glucose is simply a clear, hand some corn strup, with no injurious qualities.
 And no saccharine mattergr
 And not a bit of saccharine mat ter.
 And how much terra alba do you coufectioners useF
 Not an ounce of terra alba. Noi an ounce of terra alba is used in any American made candy. We will pay you sl00 if you can find a trace of it.
 Candy Is of various grades thenF
 "oh, yes. The gumdrops arc tho cheapest grade of candy made. Of course they are not made of sugar. There is no pretense that they are.
 Gum arabic, supposeF
 Gum arabic chiefly. And, as l have said. some makers use four or fine starch in some of the cheaper grades-in stick candy especially. But one of the main objects of this association is to discourage the use of any substance that can iniure the public health. and we are sure that we have succeeded in this aim.
 Are branded goods made now to a considerable extentFr
 "Yes; we make them constantly, but there is not So large a demand for the old style brandy drops Gs for merly Brandy is now used chiefly as a fiavoring in various forms of chocolate goods. It is used only as a fiavoring. just as we use rose, vanilla and other forms of favoring in the same goods '
 Do the liquor laws interfere with these goods in any of the statesfn
 Not at all. How could theyi We do not sell brandy by the gallon, quart or glass The laws cannot touch sales made in the way we make them-by the pound And then, again. there is really very little brandy in a brandy drop or brandy not more than two or three drops, just enough to give brandy flavor"
 Where do these brandy goods go chiefy-among school childrenr
 School childrenl No. The goods are too expensive to be bought exclu- 1 sively by school children. They re- tail for 60 cents 8 pound. They go l into the general trade and are sold l with the fine mixed candies just the l same as the other fiavors. WhataTo | known as fine French can. dies are more apt to contain these goods than any other variety. .n-Bos- ton Advertiser.

Friend. and Reputation.

He who believes himself surround cd by admirers and whose vanity is hourly feasted with all the luxuries of praise easily persuades himself that his influence will be extended beyond his life; that those who he thinks are proud to be numbered among his friends will endeavor to vindicate his choice by zeal for his reputation.-Dr. Johnson in 'Idler Papers"
