Democracy in Eng and

In the last half century England has
made progress toward plac-
ing her government upon a democratic
basis, so that at the present time her
labor organizations have ten times the
influence in the English house of COM
mons that labor organizations in this
country have in congress-. 1t would be
hard to mention, with the single excep-
ton of the freeing Of the slaves, any
change hat has been made in this
country in the last fifty years which has
had the tendency to give to all classes
a greater and fuller share in the gov
eminent of the country. One risks
little in saying that in fifty a from
now in matters of true social n po-
litical equality under the law, England
will be sufficiently far in advance of us
that we shall seem by comparison like
an old fashioned, conservative coun-
try.-BOSton Herald.

EecIain,ng Zuyder Zee

The scheme to reclaim the Zuyder
sea, which has been mooted in Holland
since 1848, a at last taken concrete
shape. A huge dam is to be built from
the island of Wieringen to the coast of
iceland, and the waters thus impOund-
ed are to be drained off by a system of
canals with tidal locks to prevent the
refow of the sea. The estimated cost
OF the work is $133, OOO, 900, and the time
required to complete it is thirty-three
years. The undertaking will require
the work of many hands and will en-
able the states general for a while to
evade 1.-The problem of the unemploy-

PUBLIC OPINION.

There is no doubt that the condition of
the negro in the south is and has been
steadily improving. In his efforts to Sc
cure education and a ~onSeQuently firmer
footing in the struggle for advancement,
he has, in many southern states, been
generously aided. 1t is only when he is
placed in the position of authority over
the white man, it is when he comes in
close personal contact with citizens, male
tribution of mail, for instance, that the
pride Of race asserts itself and deplorable
events occur.-Washington Post.
Dickens's treasurer of a charitable So
ciety, who read his annual report of ex-
penditures with a c~oughing-fit over the
pounds but coming out clear and strong
on the shillings and pence, has evidently
been employed by The Tribune to explain
in a Washington dispatch how the DE
ficit is Vanishing" The way it is van
ishing is by growing larger. Only about
So, $50, 900 added to- it in September, begins
the dispatch. Then deeper in, and in a
much quieter voice, it is stated that the

dispatch goes on, estimating the de-
ficit for the next three months at ST.
900, 000." The added hint is given, quite
inaudibly and mostly in pantomime, that
there will be exceptionally heavy" ex-
penditures in January; but still, and here
the news is trumpeted, 1.-The treasury Of
ficials confidently predict that soon after
the turn of the year the receipts will
confidently predict that the fiscal year
will close with a deficit Of at least $45,-

A Denver gambler named DOugherty,
while in New York, where he found the
games too slow for him., heard that a
pretty stiff game of poker vas being
played in Persia. So to Persia
Dougherty sailed, and he was soon pop
ular among the young princes, even II
he could not talk Persian. They play
poker somewhat differently there from
what we do in this country. There
never is any money in sight. A mar
sits near the table and records the bets,
and a settlement is made after the
game is over. This bOOkkeeper is also
a linguist, and whenever foreign play
ers play with these princes, he tells OF
the raises" One night Dougherty had
been Trailing in on nearly every hand,
My to be beaten in hi "shoW-dOWn.'
Finally he caught a pair OF SKIES aDOut
the time one of the princes caught tour
OF a kind. There had been a deal OF
''jollying'' and "horse-play" going on
all the night. Dougherty, Of course,
could not understand the words that
were being spilled out around him
every second, but he never said any
thing or looked interested. He would
simply skin his cards, come in when he
wanted to, or lay down just as the no.
ton struck him. When he picked
up the skies, he looked the Persian in
the eye, and the Persian laughed.
,,Truelelu,' said the Persian. "Guying
me, I reckon" said Dougherty, but I'll
give you some Of your own sort of
words. T~rue-le-lum." "True-le-llll-
To-" said the Persian. "True-le-lele-
lili-lole-lum," replied Dougherty; but
before he could get the words out of
his mouth, the young prince, threw
down his four of a kind, kicked the
table over fell forward on a sofa lying
near, and broke out in a sob. "HeaV-
ems, man exclaimed the interpreter,
you raised hin 'leven millions that
timei"-The ArgOnaut.

Bible in Evidence

At Camden, N. j., when Samuel
Bachelor, a youth, was tried for steal
ing bread from a bakers wagon his
lawyer, Mrs. Annie Irving Keller,
startled judge, jury and lawyers by
putting the Bible in evidence for the
defense.
She read to the jury from the second
chapter of st. Mark, wherein the Phar-
isees rebuked Christ for permitting his
disciples to pluck corn and eat it on
the Sabbath day. Christ's reply formed
the text of her argument.

Keller, fought to convict a man OF

Assistant Prosecutor Carson was

should be introduced in court for the
purpose of extenuating crime. Judge
Armstrong read from the Mosaic law,
which counsels the leaving of the
sheaves Of grain in the field for the
stranger and the widow, but said he
failed to find any biblical e~xtenuation
of the crime Of theft. If the jury be-
lieved the boy stole the bread, the
judge said they should convict him..
Bachelor was found guilty.

North Carolina has among it's repre-
sentatives the only negro in the lower
house of congress-George White, of the
Second district. And White is having
negro postmasters appointed all through
his district. The dark shadow has fallen
upon the people of eastern North Caro-
hna.-Charlotte News.
The negro will not be satisfied until
in counties where he is in the majority,
he can become county superintendent Of
schools. From the standpoint of a re-
publican and people who intend to keep
In with the republicans, there is no log
1cal reason why a negro should not be
county superintendent in Edgecombe,
Halifax and twenty other counties. And
they will hold these places If they win
at the next election. The fact that they
are resolved to have a voice in the selec-
ton of white teachers was shown in
Wake county, where the board of educa-
ton voted down a resolution to the effect
that the negro school committeeman
should have no voice in the selection of
white school teachers, the negro member
and the so-called populist member voting
to give the negro committeeman equal
voice in selecting teachers TO white
schools. There Is no end to the encroach-
ments if the negro party is not driven out
of power. The white men only need to
remember the unifying power OF the
campaign of 1876 and the brave leader
ship of Vance, and consider the deplor-
able depths to which we have fallen to
repeat the enthusiasm, determination and
success of that campaign.-Raleigh News

About 1874, we happened to travel from
Charleston to Columbia, s. c., with the
attorney Of enc of the phosphate COM
panies then operating near Charleston.
The republicans were in control in that
state at that time, and the republican
legislature was in session. In the course
of the conversation, the attorney remark
ed that he was on his way to Columbia
to stop threatened legislation increasing
the tax upon phoSphates. We asked him
to explain himself, and he replied: Oh,
it is a Matchmaking movement-we have
got to meet it every sesSiOn-we just go
up, ask how much Is wanted, agree on
the sum-, pay the bill, and the measure is
dead for that session. We asked If he
had done any of that sort of thing be-
fore, and he said: Yes; only last ses-
sion it cost us $4,000. They wanted more,
but we refused to give more, and rather
than lose that they accepted it," What
he paid on that trip we never heard, but
do remember that the bill then pending
in the republican legislature was never
heard of any more. Senator Butler says
the next legislature will repeal the char
ter Of the road from Winston via Mocks-
vile to Mooresville, now being completed
