THE DOOR IS OPEN.

The voters of North Carolina may
differ as to whether we should have
high tariff, low tariff, or free trade;
they may differ as to whether the
currency should be based upon a sin.

standard of both gold and silver, or
upon fat money; they may differ as

dum," and the imperative man.
date" and hundred or more other
things, but every patriotic son of the
State should be agreed that North
Carolina should have fair, honest
and upright administration of
affairs, and there should be mighty
getting together to kick out the
scallawags that are bringing dis
credit upon us by base and incompe-
tent and trading tactics. Past ex-
perience amply demonstrates that
the desired results can be accom-
plished only through the great Dem
ocratic party, whose doors are wide
open to all who would take part in
the grand work of saving the honor
of the State and giving all her people
safe and good government.

For Stamp Collectors.

Afghanistan stamps are Cancelled"
by having a piece torn out of each
stamp. Incidentally a piece of the en-
velope or letter is torn out at the same
time From collectors point of view
this is a barbarous proceeding, and we
hope that the new idea of canceling
stamps by branding them with red
hot platinum wire will not be adopted.
Yet this has been suggested in some of
the German papers. If it is ever adopt
ed, we shall have to collect unused
stamps only.
A German philatelist Classics col
lectors as follows: /. Beginners. 2. Av-
erage collectors. 3. Serious collectors
(whose albums represent a value of
$40, 000). 4. Important collectors (col-
lections worth $25, OOO). 8. Prominent
collectors $3.50, 00O). 6. Great collectors
(who have spent over 500, 900 ON their
collections).
The report that the government pur-
posed to change the color of the 2 cent
stamp from red to green as a measure
of economy brought out food of pro-
tests. Any intention to use green in
stead of red could be carried out for a
few months only, as all the governments

Now and then the bloody shirt is
brought forth from it's hiding place at
the North and Haunted with q great
hullabaloo. The latest demonstra-
ton of this kind was at Boston. 1t
was at an annual re union of three
military organizations. One of the
causes for the CORY outburst was
that President Andrews, of Brown
University, had spoken in very
laudable terms of the military genius
of General Robert E. Lee. In the
estimation of the aforesaid play
sold ers this was high treason and
they proceeded to resolute, setting
forth the transcendant ability of the
Union leaders and ssthat it is the
duty of all friends of the Union
soldiers to set the seal of condemna-
ton against such utterances," ct
cetera, ad nauseum. Doubtless, the
CORY resoluters felt relieved after
their braying, notwithstanding they
were making themselves the laugh
ing stock of many sure enough
soldiers on both sides of the Mason
& Dixon line, who met each other on
the field of battle and who said the
war was over away back yonder in

DEMOCRATIC POSITION.

The position OF the Democratic
minority in Congress upon the more
important questions that may en-
gage attention at this session was
pretty clearly outlined at caucus
held a few nights since, when the
following resolutions we're adopted ::
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that the Democratic
mem bers of the House of Representa-
tiyes ought to resist all efforts, direct
or indirect, to retire the greenbacks
and Treasury notes.
Resolved, Second, That we are
opposed and will resist all attempts
to extend the privileges of national
banks or to reduce the taxes which
they now pay.
"Resolved, Third, That we favor
the early consideration and passage
of the Senate resolution recognizing
that condition of war exists in the
Island of Cuba, between the govern
ment of Spain and the Cuban people.
Resolved, Fourth, That we favor
the early enactment of a just and
wise bankruptcy law"
Each resolution was considered
separately and each was adopted
unanimously except the last, which
met with some opposition, but final
ly prevailed by a large majority.
From these resolutions it is appa-
rent that Republican efforts to still
further contract the currency will be
shown up and resisted, and further,
that the Democrats, unlike the Re
publicans, stick to their declarations
in reference to Cuba and, if Car Reed
will permit, they will go upon record
as favoring prompt recognition of
belligerency, which is the proper
course for the United States to pur-
sue in the matter.

Row 20 rasteur,ze hrr1k.

A milkman who has to do his own
milk pasteurizing puts the milk into
any ordinary bottles. nearly filling
them and placing stopper of cotton
batting in the neck. He then sets them
on thin strip of wood or inverted pie
plate which has been perforated in q
tin basin or pail of water and heats
them until the milk shows a tempera-
ture of nearly 100 degrees The bottles
are then stoppered and removed to the
back of the stove for 90 minutes, during
whiche they should be covered with a
dry towel or the pail cover. At the end
of that time the bottles are removed
and set in warm water, which is gradu-
ally cooled and then iced. Many people
use tin vessels, the advantage of which
Is that they may be plunged from hot
water to ice water without danger Of
breakage and with possible benefit to
the milk The best form is a double
boiler oatmeal cooker. The inner tin
contains the milk and the outer the
water, which can be easily brought to
boiling point. For killing the bacillus
OF tuberculosis a minimum tempera-
ture of 149 degrees should be main
tanned for 15 minutes, of 140 degrees
for half an hour. If the milk has been
obtained from a herd known to be free
from tuberculosis or there is no fear OF
this trouble, a pasteurzing temperature
of from 1873 degrees to 140 degrees,
maintained for 90 minutes, is sufficient
to give good housekeeping qualities.

Ridicnled Abroad.

Raleigh News and Observer.
Governor Russell's silly explaDa-
ton as To why he accepts railroad
passes has made him notorious on
both sides of the Atlantic. The
London Globe has an elaborate
art icle in which it says:
"We ask our readers to enoeavor
to conceive a case in which an
Englishman occupying any position
analogous to that of the Governor
of an American State, would accept
favors which could only be offered by
breach of the law, and then defend
his action by saying that it is the
custom for every man to take
Whatever is offered
North Carolina is not only dis
graced at home by the present ad
ministration, but it is made the
object of ridicule abroad. One of
these days the men who elected
Vance, and their sons, will rise up
and drive out those who haye pol

Fireproofing Wood.

Another method of fireproofing wood
has been brought forward-this time
at Nottingham, where the British Men
infiammable Wood company has given
an exhibition designed to demonstrate
the security against fire of buildings
constructed with timber treated by
their new process. For the purpose of
the experiment two buildings about IL
feet square and 80 in height had been
set up-similar in all respects, except
that one was made of treated timber
and the other of ordinary timber, each
being also furnished with chimney for
the purpose of creating strong draft
and facilitating combustion. Outside of
these houses, on the windward, firewood
and shavings were piled, which were
set on fire simultaneously. In five min
utes the building of ordinary timber
was well on fire and in about half an
hour reduced to ashes, while the other
structure remained intact save for the
charring of the woodwork ON the side
exposed to the direct action of the
flames. A further test had meanwhile
been applied by igniting a pile of shaw
ings and fagots inside, but again the
effect was merely to char the wood,
which did not break into flame box,
too, made of the treated wood and
which had been placed in the midst of
the ignited material was afterward
drawn out practically uninjured. New

$50 FOR A POEM.

With commendable public spirit
and patriotism, the Charlotte OBJ
server offers fifty dollars for the poem
which shall be adjudged the best, to
be read at the unwilling of the monu
ment to the signers OF the Mecklen-
burg Declaration of Independence,
which event will take place in that
city on the goth of next May.
In the event that any of our readers
may be inspired to give expression
to their patriotism in poetic strains,
with incidental reference to that fifty
dollars, we copy the following condi-
lions from the Observer:
"The competition Is entirely open;
there are no restrictions as to State
or other lines. All the poems re-
ceived will be placed in the hands OF
a competent committee, to be an
nounced hereafter, and it's decision
will be final. The poem must not
exceed ten stanzas in length and it is
preferred that the stanzas should be
of four lines each, though this is not
arbitrary; they may have six lines
but not more. The manuscripts re.
iected will be returned to their
authors. The committee will not
know whose work they are judging,
hence the name of the writer must
not appear on the manuscript of any
of the poems. The manuscripts
must be sent to the editor of the
Observer not later than the LIST of
April next and the face of the en-
velope must signify it's contents. On
a sheet inside the envelope the writer
must give his or her name. The
name of the winner will not be an
nounced until the poem is publicly
read in the order of the unveiling
exercises, when the reader will give
the name to the audience, and the
next day check will be sent to the
successful contestant"
