Pelig;0ns of China

Three religions are acknowledged by the
Chinese as indigenous and adopted, viz,
Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
The Emperor is considered the sole high
priest OF the Empire, and can alone with
his immediate representatives and minis
ters, perform the egreatreligiouS ceremonies.
No ecclesiastical hierarchy is maintained
at the public expense, nor any priesthood
attached to the Confucian religion. The
Confucian is the State religion, if the respect
paid to the memory of the great teacher can
be called religion at all. But distinct and
totally separate from the stated periodic
observances OF respect, offered to the mem
ory of Confucius as the holy man of old
and totally tihconnected Herewith, there
is the distinct worship of heaven (tien) in
priest" worShips and sacrifices to heaven"
every year at the time Of the Winter SOL
stice, at the Altar Of Heaven in Pekin.
With the exception of the practice of
ancestral worship, which is everywhere
observed throughout the Empire and was
fully commended by Confucius, Confucian-
ism has little outward ceremonial. The
study and contemplation and attempted
performance OF the moral preceDts of the
ancients constitute the duties of Confu-
cianist. Buddhism and Taoism present a
very gorgeous and elaborate ritual in
China, TaolSm Originally pure phioso-
phy) having abjectly copied Buddhist
ceremonial on the arrival of Buddhism one
thousand eight hundred years ago. Large
numbers of the Chinese inMiddle and South
ern China profess and practice all three
religions. The bulk of the people, how
ever, are Buddhist.
There are probably about 10000, 900
Mahometans, chiefly in the northeast
and southwest. Roman Catholicism has
long had footing in China, and is esti-
mated to have about 100000 adherents,
with % bishoprics besides those of Man
churia, Thibet, Mongolia, and Korea.
Other Christian societies have stations in
many parts of the country, the number of
Protestant adherents being estimated at
$4,000. Most OF the aboriginal hill tribes
are still nature worshipers, and ethni-
cally are distinct from the prevailing Mon
goioid population.

From all sections the farmers
report that farm work is greatly
behind on account of the weather.
The land in many localities is
sobbed. The fact is, very little
land in Eastern Carolina is we'll
drained. Consequently when the
farmer starts out in early spring
with his land full of water, and
June happens to be a wet month,
the conditions are excee9ing1ly un-
favorable for a good crop. In
England, where land is so yalua-
ble, the greatest attention is given
to drainage, and there is a net
work of drain tile underlying the
fields. The results obtained from
the thorough drainage are simply
marvellous. More bitches and
less guano would prove a blessing
to our people.

JUDGE CONNOR'S FAREWELL
An Able Resume of the Work OF
the Session by the Speaker.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The House met at 10 o'clock.
The first half hour was devoted
to the passage of few leftsover
bills that members were anxious
"to get through. - Then the rati-
fication of enrolled bills began.
They came in great stocks, and be-
tween the signing of one stock and
the arrival of another recesses
were taken and members were
permitted to amuse themselves or
occupy their time as might seem
best and most agreeable.
Beyond the occasional inter,
change of a joke across the hall or
other pleasantly among the mem
bers, the last hours of the usually
boisterous House passed away in
a quiet, digniiad and orderly
manner. But for the fareWells
spoken and the goodbye hand
grasp of fellow-member with fell
Iow-member, to one who knew no
better there was hardly any
thing to indicate that the House
would not meet again to-day, in
stead of in June, 1900.
At the close of the session
Speaker Connor delivered his fare
we'll address to the House, in the
course of which he reviewed the
work of the session. He said:
"Gentlemen of the House OF
Representatives:
''This General Assembly met
sixty-four days ago, charged by
the people of the State with a CONS
mission, the terms and meaning OF
which were clear and unmistak-
able. The political conditions
which have existed among us had
eliminated in what might not inc
aptly be termed a political revolu-
tion in the State. The election of
November, 1898, was the en-
phatic expression of a fixed de-
termination of the people of North
Carolina that the peace and wel-
fare of the State for the future
demanded heroic treatment on the
suffrage question. Every member
of the majority of this General
Assembly entered upon the duties
of the session with recognition
of this fact and a determination
to perform this duty. There were
of course differences of opinion in
regard to the wisest and best man.
ner of dealing with the question.
These differences have been dise
cussed fully and candidly. and mu-
tual concessions have been made,
and after long and laborious eff
forts, the intensity of which will
never be known save by those
who engaged in them, a common
position was reached resulting in
the proposed amendment TO the
Constitution. That it is not per-
feet none know better or appres
ciate more fully than ourselves:
that it is the best possible out
come of the situation, we believe
to be true. We also believe that it
is the basis upon which we may

A CONTRAST.
The Present General Assemb V

Raleigh Post.
Before the General Assembly
convened the Democratic caucus,
at first meeting, pledged itself to
economy and reform in the en-
ployment of officers and laborers.
The caucus has been true to it's
promise and has lived up to that
pledge in every respect.
Up to the present time the
Legislature has cost the State
s66,50O. Nearly every bill has
been presented and there are only
a few more minor expense ac-
counts for which warrants can be
issued. These will not approx
mate $500, So that it will be
observed that the General Assem-
bly, will not at the utmost cost
the State over $66,500.
Naturally the question arises,
what did the fusion Legis1.etur
cost the State ? Both of those
disgraceful and never-to-be-for-
gotten Assemblies came high.
They were luxuries that the peo-
pie of the State never care to in
dulge in again. The Fred Douglass
affair, the one of 1895, cost the
State s72,5 ,566.74.
Its running mate-the disor-
derly and turbulent Legislature
of 1997-cost the State $780,
1904.
When it is remembered that the
present General Assembly was in
session three days longer than
either the Assembly of 1895 or
1897, it will be seen that the con-
trast in figures should be even
greater than they appear.
All the clerical departments Of
of the Legislature just adjourned
have been conducted with dis
patch and on business principles.
They have been free from the
scandals that tainted both the
fusion Assemblies. The Legisla-
ture was not made a vehicle of
political reward without regard to
cost and the welfare of the State.
In this respect, as in nearly
every other, the present Legisla-
ture has been as different from it's
two predecessors as has sunlight
and darkness.
The statement was made yes~
terday from a legal source that
the employees Of the Legislature
would be entitled to draw pay
continuously until it reconvened
in June. 1900. It was claimed
that the Legislature had not ads
journed; that it was only taking
a recess; and that by a strict in
terpretation Of the law the em~
ployees could demand salary. 1t
is great pity to destroy beau
tifui story ike this, but it hap-
pens that the presiding officers
of the Assembly have d say so in
the payment of bills.
