DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOBO AND TRAMP

The difference between hobo and
tramp was a subject of discussion on
the streets of Raleigh yesterday, growing
out of a local notice referring to fe-
male hobo" 1t was contended that
'hobo" was always man, and man
with a trade. A gentleman, who claims
to know all about these species of perl
petetic individuals, says there is nothing
in common between hobo and tramp,
and thus defines them:
"a tramp is a man who will not work
under any circumstances, takes pride
in living without work, and despises those
who do work.
"A hobo is a person who will work, but
on account of his drinking habits cannot
keep a job. He is merely skilled me-
chanic who has been overcome by strong
drink. A tramp has no use for him ana
regards him as a pestilent fellow whose
actions tend to bring the tramp profess
sion into disrepute."
The future dictionary makers will do
well to preserve these definitions.

"AND THE BLOW ALMOST KILLED FATHER

Tho onen letter that j. Wiley Shook
wrote to the President some weeks aso
was mild and lover-hke in tone COM
Jared with the expletives he douotiess
,,so5 rasterdav when he read the Presl-
dent's civil service order senator
pr;tchard. who promised out every ofhce
in tho State to secure his election, will
feel quite as bitterly as J. Wiley but
will speak in more diplomatic language.
If these two. who are already living on
Government pap, will be sorry that the
President has stood by his civil service
reforn nledge. what shall we say of the
hungry horde, who still hanging ON the
ragged edge, see the last chance for
a slice of pie slip away from them! Ihe
Republicans will find it hard enough TO
hear the disappointment but those Pop
Mist legislators who sold out for rev.
enue positions, will find themselves
stranded on the political shoals, without
even an office to compensate them LOT
the betrayal of their professed principles.
They sold their birthright for a mess
of pottage. and now they will not get
the pottage.
President McKinley's order not only
protects all civil service clerks now in
office from removal-a protection none
have ever enjoyed before-but 1t also
includes more positions under the civil
service wings of safety. Heretofore,
while no cabinet officers could make an
appointment except from the list OF those
certified to have passed the required
examination, their power OF removal
was unlimited. They did not have to
give the officer removed the cause OF
his removal, and the unfortunate man
had no redress whatever. This is all
changed and "the accused shall nave
full notice and an opportunity to make
defense" This means that but two OF
the men in each of the district now IN
the revenue service in North Carolina can
be removed by the new collectors.

FRIDAY,
A TRUST MADE TARIFF.

We have seen the hand Of the sugar
trust. the beef trust, and the other trusts
in writing the different schedules of the
tariff law. They contributed the money
that elected Mckinley. 1t is fitting that
they should get their pay for it, and they
have all obtained carte blanche to tax the
people.
1t is now said that an attorney of the
cigarette trust drew the provision in the
law that prohibits the giving Of pictures
or anything else with cigarettes or smok-
ing tobacco. Under the all-embracing
clause. no manufacturer can even put a
package Of cigarette paper in with his
tobacco. 1t is a blow in the dark, aimed
chiefly at the new cigarette companies
that are fighting the trust, and trying to
obtain a foothold.
1t is doubtful if there is a single para
graph in the new worse than war tariff
that was not inspired or written by some
trust or other syndicate representative
that wants to tax the people for private
enrichment, or to strike a blow at some
younger competitor. That's the way laws
are made under the Hanna Mckinley
regime.

Virginia are favorably inclined toward
the election Of a president. Heretofore
a member of the faculty has acted as
chairman, and the institution has had no
permanent head. The present chairman,
DR.. Barringer, is in every way qualified
for the presidency, and if the plan es-
tablished by Jefferson is to be changed,
DR.. Barringer will make an ideal presi-
dent. If the Board Of Visitors should

sHERlFFS BIGGER THAN THE SUPREME
COURTS.

Writing about the law that requires I'M
prisonment for non-payment Of taxes, the
Hickory Mercury says:
"But the law is for the sheriffs; it's
their business to harmonic it with it
self and to enforce it as they see 1t.
Live and learn. Never before in history
has it been contended that sheriffs could
enforce law "as they see it." If these
officers have the right the Mercury
gives them, then they can annul all tax
ing laws at will. The true idea, the legal
requirement of their duty is that of sol
diers,
''Their's not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die"
The thing to do with a bad law is to
enforce it. No power below the Supreme
court can construe it out of existence.

Nutmeg of Obscure Birth.

Merchants wonder that the nutmeg
of commerce is able to sustain its gen.
eral appearance when they consider
the story of its early life. Unlike most
members of the spice crowd, the nut
meg is raised and reared in obscurity.
It does not see daylight, gaslight, cleo
trio light or any other kind of light
until it is thrown upon the world to
shift for itself. 1t Is not given an op-
portunity to prepare itself for any spe-
cial purposes. Its mission on earth, the
dealers assert, is laid out without it's
being consulted and 1t must either fill
II creditably or be exiled from the graf
err in the pantry.
The nutmeg of commerce is nothing
more than the kernel of the seed of the
pear-shaped fruit Of the nutmeg tree.
The seed of the fruit is covered with an
arillus which, when stripped and dried,
affords the spice known as mace. The
shell of the seed Is cracked and the
long imprisoned kernel is found The
kernel is dried, polished little and
given place in some housewives pan
try. The kernel is not extracted until
the fruit splits into halves. When the
fruit thus separates part from part of
itself 1t is a sign that it is ripe. Then
the kernel receives its first impression
of out-of- the-seed life.-Chicago Rec

which is largely utilized on account of
its special properties. 1t is prepared by
subjecting the residue of olive kernels
to chemical processes under the action
of sulphuric acid, after all means of
extraction by pressure have been ex-
hausted. OF this substance, 1t Is stated
that during the year 1894 the quantity
produced amounted to about 1000 tons,
the medium market price for which
ranged at some $50 per ton. The arti-
Gle in question, which is of little value
as a lubricator, has ready sale among
soap manufacturers, and in years when
the oil crop has been favorable, consid-
cradle quantities nave been exported to
this country. Great Britain and North
ern Europe. This oil is locally known as
"olio sulfureo," or sulphur oil, from the
method of its extraction. The refuse re-
naming after the extraction is used
for fuel for steam boilers by mille~s as
a matter of economy.
