Tbe high license remedy for an excessive supply of saloons is becoming very popnlar in Illinois. Thcncw city council of Jackson ville, by a uuanimons vote, last Tuesday night increased the rate of license to liquor saloons from !4G)to$G00. Jacksonville is the county seat of a Democratic coun ty. On the same night Danville, the county seat of Vermillion coun ty, which with a population of about 8,000 to 9,000 has forty six saloons, by the action of iU city council in creased the rate of saloon license toC00ayear. The Chicago 2W bnne staten that in no place where high license has once been adopted is there any abandonment of that policy; but that on the contrary, the system has operated so suc cessfully and with snch excellent benefits all around that opposition by the saloon-keepers has beeu abandoned, and in numerous places high license has been ro-adopted by almost unanimous votes of Dem ocrats and Republicans. The same principle is making even more rap id progress in Iowa. In Dea Moines, Davenport,. Burliugtou, Clinton, Lyons, Atlantic, Boone, aud all the cities where an opportunity has beeu offered, the high license poli cy has been adopted. The State capital, Ds Moines, with 30,000 population, has adopted a liquor license of 1,000, which will abol ish two thirds of the dramshops in the city, quadruple the revenue from the survivors, abolish pretty much all the drunkenness and crime caused by liquor, and prove a public blessing. The Tribune y from which we gather the above facts, says that the high license in Des Moines is supported by those who imbibe as well as by the tee total era. mm I - . T r.IIaa. I f THE Df )CB17lCr ,ITIO rixin. Iu a'iwer to tbo Wilroingtc:i Star t a ""Raleigh Clserrtr lays down tie orthodox Democratic po sition. The reply is conclusive. We quote : - The people of North Caroliua, withont regard to party,. desire the, "repeal of this internal revenue law. The rank and file of both parties feel that it is odious. j ' rrx. llmrjM t liATA neCUliar reasons foe wishing to have It abol ished. For oar own part we wish to see the government administer ed in conformity with tbo popular desire not being in conflict with the constitution. - And as we believe tbat tbe government should be administered on this basis, we therefore urge tbe repeal of this ob noxious measure That is a gener al view to take of the subject. A more particular view tbat presents itself very forcibly to our mind is that the internal revenue depart ment in North Carolina is ft grave menace to the continueu suprem acy of the Democratic party here at home. In the hands of Repub lican politicians as long as a Re publican administration exists at Washington, it is the most potent foo we have to contend with. Its influences have won from the Dem ocratic ranks thousands of voters and have paralyxed many others who at one timo were anient sup porters of tho Democratic party, oi.ta nri- iiAM idreadv been accom plished more on the same line is in process of accomplishment. The continuance of the immense power aud patronage of .this politi cal bureau under the manipulations of adroit and scheming I Radical leaders bodes only evil to the Dem ocratic party ! in North Carolina. "We have seen the Democratic ma jority of 17,000 cast for 'limen whittled uown to ui w rate of progression covering a ie riod of six years where will we be at tbe end of another six years T We freely admit, however, that the last election was not a fair test of party strength, and we further ad mit that the decline in -Democratic strength la tot entirely attribut able to the sinister influences of the revenue ring and this political bu reau. ' i We recognize the internal reve nue bureau as the roost powerful enemy now assailing Democracy in North Carolina, In our judgment achange of administration at Wash ington is almost inevitable, and with it, unless the internal revenue system be abolished, will come new complications. The . Democratic party caunot maintain the. internal revenue system in North .Carolina and hold the State. The law re maining ou the statute book would foiwd. and if enforc ed by the Democratic party it would lose us our political supremacy. We had supposed that the editor of the Star, who is ordinarily so astute in political matters, would not have been inadvertent to these considerations, which as so obvi ous to auyone who studies the po litical situation in North Carolina. The dilemma is this administered by Itepublicaus thts political bn reau is a grave danger; administer ed by Democrats this odious law would be fatal to tho Democratic party. ' For this reason, therefore, we have considered that it would be snicidal for tbe Democratic party in North Carolina to halt at any half-way house in regard to the abolit'ou of this internal revenue tax. Ou a survey theu of the whole subject it is apparent that nnder our notion of how the gov ernment should be administered this bureau should be entirely abol ished. Tho Star seems to have a different view. Like ourselves it is in theory and in principle favor able to free trade as distinguished from a protective policy, which are both believed to be unconstitution al. But in order to to give effect to its viewA on this subject the Star would have the government administered in a manner odious to the people and dangerous to the supremacy of its own party. Its reason brings it to the conclusion that the proper theory is free trade and the practical effect of its log ic is that the government was ere ated to give effect to free trade aud to be administered on that theory.

At that timo I had made onl o partial compilation of statistics, and was not able to give. but. few facts Vud'Hgufcs bearing upon that in dustry in North Carolina; smee then, however, I have completed the investigation and compilation, and. thinking it may be of interest to our people, I propose to write a communication for the Jfetsengert knowing that buudreds of farmers will read, nud I hopo some will It may be a little humiliating to the enterprising North Caroliniau that the State makes snch a poor showing, but at the same time, it may induce, iu some, resolutions of amendment, and thereby put the old North State on the upgrade instead of permitting her to remain on the down. . 1 In 1SG0 there were C,749 sheep hi the State ; iu 1870, 403,435, and iii 18S0, 401,033. So you will per ceive that, in sheep hntdxaudry, there has been considerable falling off, but uot quite so- much iu the last as in the preceding decade. As statetl above, the number in the State for the census year is 401,030. Tbe losses reported by tbe three principal casualties are as follows : Killed by dogs, 48,175; died from disease, 44,181 ; and by stress of weather, 0,034 making the grand total of 101,390-22 per cent, of the whole uumber of sheep. Thus it will bo seeu that 47.5 per cent, of the total losses is from dogs. j . ... , , jThe largest numucr ameu oy dogs in any one county is in Chat ham, 1,953, but Mooro couniy ioe the heaviest iu percentage, it being 1C.00. The largest loss from dis ease is in Randolph, 2,303; and Union the largest number by stress of weather, 395. ! Mecklenburg lose least by dog, both in number and (per centage, the number is 97, it being only 2.8 percent. j In tbe State there are o2,541 owners, and the average number to each owner is 9 per cent. Ashe, Buncombe, Chatham, Dav idson, Guilford, Iredell, Madison, Randolph, Rutherford and Wilkes, each have upwards of 1,000 owners, and all of these, except Iredell and Rutherford, have upwards of 10,000 sheep each. j " Thirty-five counties have over 500, and under 1,000 owuers. New Hanover has the smallest uumber of owners, 10. I Every county in the State has sheep. Twenty-nine counties have over 500 and under 1,000 each ; 2 counties, Chowan aud New Han over, have less than 500 each, i Nine counties lose npwanls of 1,000 each by dogs; 31 over 500 and under 1,000, nd 34 over 200 nnd nnder 500 each. I The smallest per centage of loss v tne turee casualties iu any uho county having over 10,000 sheep, is in Ashe, the rate being 10.8 per cent The largest per centage of loss, by the three casualties, in counties having over 10,000, is in Randolph, 27.0 per cent., and Bun combe 27.5 per cent, f Randolph has 1,749 owners, and 15,742 sheep ; the average is 9 to the owner., Graham has 04 own ers, and the average is 35 to the owner. 7 The largest per centage of losses in any county is Jackson, is 33.7 per cent, Wayne county has 230 owners 2,020 sheep; 309 killed by dogs, 103 died from disease and 12 by stress of weather. Now, Mr. Editor, I consider this a very bad showing for this indus try in North Carolina, aud ought to be remedied. Is there any other in dustry effecting 52,000 of onr peo ple that suffered so much as sheep husbandry has from dogs, that the Legislature would not redress the grievance! I have wished verj often that the number of dogs had been enumerated, but as they were not, there is no way to get ut the number accurately. I think from my knowledge of tho different sec tions of tbe State, it will not fall short of the accurate number, to as sume that the average will be one dog to each family.) Some.thiuk tbe average would be two to each farm, if so, the number of farms be ing 157,009, would mako the num ber 31518; but taking the number of families, 200,000 and one te each family, we have 200,000 dogs against 401,033 sheep. Entirely too mauy dogs aud too few sheep. 1 am under-tbe impression that Mecklenburg county has in opera tion the "no fenco law," if so, tbe statistics from that county give a strouger illustration and argument in favor of that law than any thing that can be said, for with 3,473 sheep, the loss by dogs is only 97, or 2. 8 per cent. Take for instance the 43,175 killed by dogs, and average them at $2 each, the amount foots up $90350, and sup posing that each sheep killed by the dogs would clip two ioiinds of wool, the average for the State, and at 25 cents per itound, the sum would be $24,035, which added to the valve of tho sheep would make a total of 120.435. j Supposing the uumber of dogs to be only 250,000, a tax of fifty cents on each dog would raise an amount sufficient to remunerate the fanner that loses sheep by dogs. North Carolina has wild pastur age enough to maintain handsome ly, 5,000,000 sheep, and if proper attention were given to it, and stringent laws to protect it, there is no industry in the State that would yield a great income to the amouut invested than that of sheep raising, but until some law - is en acted to protect sheep from dogs, men of capital will be loth to invest in it to any extent, for sheep and dogs do not thrive well together, at least the sheep do not.

N'ea York Three Mr. ConUing spoke cf the pleas nre he felt in listening to General Grant's word concerning the-im iwrtauco of cultivating the most Intimate relations with our neigh boring republic.

Grant had done for .his conmry. xc mfwl curried him back to the last Chicago Convention, at whith ain unsuccessful auempi whs umw to nominate Gen. Grant for Presi dent. That was a Convention to which 420 of the delegates were seut for a specific purpose, "not in structed merely, but bound in honor to God and man to discharge certain obligations," aud those ob ligations were to vote for the nom ination of Geu. Grant for President of tho United States.,! believe as firmly as I believe anything," said the ieaker; earnestly, that the re sults of that Convention have held this country back ten years- Yes, that day's work lias cost that na tion in progress fully ten years." Mr. Conklingsaid that the Demo crats were about to take control of the country, Two years ago the Republican I party came out of a stoutly fought battle victorious from sea to sea, north of the Mason and Dixon line. It fought the greatest political battle ever fought. It was a battle heavily weighted, but the Republicans rallied under their old leaders and gloriously won. That was but two years ago. and now the speaker could think of but three of the Northern Statea in which the Republicans were victor ious. I ( , , Alluding to the growth mid re sources of Mexico, Mr. Conkliug said that it was eminently fit that tho two North American republics alimild live on terms of close intini- atxr. TTa IkhmhI that the neoide of both countries would appreciate the lorce of Gen. Grant's assertion that the interests of the United States and of Mexico should be made identical commercially, social ly, and politically. It might be that the ex-President-of ! the United States would bo recognixed as the leader of the great movement to help the republic of Mexico develop its resources and to bringaboutthe natural commercial union of the two couutries. "But I do not know as I ought to use the word leader," said Mr. Coukling, sarcastically. "The word leader is a term of op probium, an epithet, nowadays. To be a leader: now is to be a boss, and there is no end of iren who think it desirable to deride and ' pnll down bosses. The so-called fight against bosses is the particular form thafa certain class of men give to a raid upon superiority. Point out to me a boss, and I will show you a man who by virtue of his ability de serves to be a boss." If in addition to what Gen. Grant has done for his sou n try it should fall to him to indicate the time, the mode, and the occasion which joined in an al liance tho United States aud Mexi co, Mr. Coukling thought thatrhe would then wear a decoration which would be far greater than the hon ors hitherto bestowed upon him. Rneakinfr of the importance of cultivating the Mexican tra-le, the ex-Senator said he hoped that some of the statesmen who were under tjikinfr to shane the affairs of this country would find time to consider the 1 100.000,000 or trade that a wait ed development in the republic South ofns, and also of the addi tional millions of trade that would respond to the American euter nrise in the other South American countries. ! "When these statesmen shall turn' away from that great issue tbo finding ont of what boy or what girl shall have place iu tho government employ," said ,Mr. Conkliug, perhaps they will give some attention to our commercial relations with Mexico.r Iu con cluding his. remarks the ex-Senator Raid that iiianr of those who were influential in shaping tho affairs of tbe government were merely play ing the pushpin over .the rot and rubbish of low, tricky politics.''

It grows well in eastern Xorth Caroliua, maturity as high as six feet, and will make a yield of from 400 to COO gallons of first class molasses to the acre of cane. This cane is pulled tip and banked iu the fall the same as sweet iotatoc8,and during the mouths of April and May is taken down and planted by laying the cane in a furrow, throw ing a one furrow list over it. The only cultivation it needs is one sid ing aud the middles split out. It does not need any thinning as na ture causes it to send up just a suf ficient amouut of shoots or stalks. It should be plauted in rows six feet apart. At gathcriug time the hand simply passes along and gives the cano a slight jerk and Jets it fall to the earth where it soon with ers so as to easily remove the fod der and roots. The top is then broken off when uot matured and the ripe cane is then ready for the mill. The cane shonld always be al lowed to wilt, as otherwise it will give trouble by break ng off when placed in the mill, j -( 5 I Ji. The next best cane is tho gooseneck. - It should be planted from tho seed iu ! May, in rows about three feet wide and eighteen inches in the drill, dropping froin three to four seeds iu each hill, and cultivated the same as any crop, and when about two or three feet high 8uckered and thinned out to three or four stalks It makes a first-class syrup, yielding from 300 to 400 gallons per acre. This, as well as other canes, should be strip ped while standing and also have the seed cutoff. i M 3. Third comes the red-top cane, similar to the gooseneck, yielding about 250 to 300 gallons per acre, and planted and cultivated, tbe same as gooseneck. : i 4. Last and least is the early amber. This makes a good syrup, but yields only about 150 to 200 gallons under favorable cultivation, the objection to the amber being it ripens too early and owiug to the warm weather when ground, is liable to sour. Any of the other varieties can be cut when ripe and piled up cross ways and allowed to stand from one to two months be fore grinding. The fodder is gen erally allowed to rot on the land. The seed is worth as much for hogs nnd cattle as corn, and one acre in cane will produce from 25 to 50 bushels' of seed per acre. Seed should be crushed when fed to other stock than hogs, as they, are so small and hard they are generally Hv;il lowed whole and therefore are indigestible. ; i By cooking tho syrups of any of tbe above canes over much it will soon granulate, and makes a fine sugar bj boring small drip holes in the liottom of the barrels. The syrup that drips off is first class in every particular. J Seed and cane can be had of Capt. Bell, of, War Raw, Duplin . comity, N. C. Cane is sold at 1J cents, per' stalk and seed at 81.00 per bushel. One bushel of seed will plant six acres of ground 4,000 stalks of the rib bon cane will plant one acre; one stalk. of ribbon cane willrow tvo stalks.
