Thursday, January 19th, 1893. The bottom of the jPanarra Canal mud seems to be a far way oft yet. Every day brings out fresh evidence and new names are added to the lists. -Charles de Lesseps testifies that two and a half millions of dollars were placed at, the disposal of the Ameri can committee and used for the best interest of. the Company. Of this amount only about $500,000 was paid in salaries while the'two millions dis appeared, .nobody seems, to know where. . But he intimates that the two million was handed round among friends and well wishers of the Canal. The French Cabinet is as change ul as the scenes of a kaleidoscope. Kven the President is not free from charges bf complicity in the Panama frauds. The ringing editoral in the Char lotte Observer urging Hon. M W. Robbins for foj the Mexican Mission has bean well received everywhere. Everybody in North Carolina is in favor of it, and it is known to all that there is no man among us better quali fied to honor the country in an im portant foreign mission. Maj. Rob bins is not only an able lawyer and statesman, but isalso an accomplished belles letfres scholar. On the stump he has no superior in the State, and when in Congress he made a nationa reputation. There is not a Demo crat in the State who will not be pleased to see Maj. Robbins thus honored. TIL AS OX ANTI-OPTION. vSenator Vilas made a remarkably able speech on Thursday against the Anti -Option bill, in the course of which he threw a strong light on the r it. t 1 j ' . r the measure.' t ' Mr. Washburn the chief defender of the bill,' has been charged with en deavoring, through its passage, to create a grain rust among the ele vator men, and the bill itself sustains the suspicion. He pretends, how ever, that he is simply seeking to prevent gambling in food" products. On being asked by Mr. Vilas if he would accept as a substitute for his bill one that would prohibit gambling only, "he hesitatingly ".responded "No." f ' . The Wisconsin Senator then went on to show that the bill is an uncon stitutional measure for preventing trade in the products of the country He spoke for, hundreds of thousands of farmers and for every produce and cotton exchange in the land. Suppose that Edward. Murphey were now in the Senate, how much aid and comfort would the great ex changes of the j metropolis receive from him in this debate? The prin cipal grain market of the country would have no voice to oppose a measure that threatens the merchants . of New York City with the loss of millions. ' 1 ' The Patriot at Hojnr. For The Advance. Every citizen -be he lawyer, mer chant, " preacher or doctor, is or should be interested in the welfare material and moral,'" of the commu nity" in which he lives. There are "duties which he owes to the world and to his country, and we believe, to his State, in the performance of which, should he prove recreant he would justly deserve the contempt of all', men. cut especially smce his own personal influence extends to its boundaries, does every good citizen owe a high service to his own com m unity and town. The city of Rome oncC dominated to the world, and the loyalty and and patriotsim if every Roman citizen was measured by his devotion to that city.- It would be well in -these tunes of lervid national and state patriotism, of some of its consuming fire could be j transferred to the narrow sphere of municipality, till at least it had worked the needed moral reforms in local - public senti ment ... The plague spots of the United ' States are its cities and towns. The comparative personal' purity of fifty . years ago, is almost, when you speak of men as a class today, "an lrndes cent dream." The country lias moved to town and those that still remain on the plantations come every Saturday or oftener to get their whiff of the pestilence. Can any one give .a logical reason why. the atmosphere rf th rriwn rias hwome SO fetid ? It is not to be attributed to the fact, nrimarilv that vice is enabled to con centrate its forces. Surely if the bar rooms have multiplied and become thick, the churches have multiplied and become thick also. It seems reasonable that these two antagonistic forces would at least counteract each oth'er. Where then is the reason found? It is found just here, that municipal patriotism, what there isof it, begins and ends- in a desire for paved sidewalks, a town hall, water works.electric lights and clean streets. To set in motion any influence that would tend to make clean characters, clean men and women, is regarded as entirely beyond the municipal realm, in fact as undemocratic and sump tuary. Fine houses if not fine men, pure water if not pure women, bright lights if not bright characters-Pro-gressive ! So gloriously progressive ! Individually the town is full , of good men and better women, but as an or ganized social fabric, we are a . sad and multiplying failure. ' Public sentiment is all right ex cept when you want to -find and arouse it for certain purposes. It is easy enough to find t when you mention graded schools and electric lights. The community voice ex presses itself very distinctly on these subjects, but seek to have it give a clear note of expression on any moral question and public opinion is gone offonVa vacation. Mention Prohi bition, whew ! Public sentiment is off on a ten years cruise. And Local option. It would be as undiscover able as the Lost Pleiad. And yet individually the .good christian citi zen bemoans with brimfull eyes the blighting of our youth and the mias ma of death which the drink curse scathes everywhere.

Fertllzlng for Corn. Mr. J. H. Bayer of Fairville, Mo., writes : "I have for some time been very much interested in the "Farm and. Garden" columnof The Republic and have derived a great deal of valuable information therefrom. "I have some rented land that has been in corn for-several years, and I want to plant it in corn again, and thought if I. could fertilize it again, in the hill it would pay me to do so. What do you think of the idea ? What kind of fertilizer would be the cheapest arid best? Also, how should Iapplyit?" First, it would be best to plow the held an inch or two deeper than ever before. Ashes from which the potash has been extracted would perhaps give .the most immediate results. Such ashes rank with commercial fertilizers, and can be obtained in all large cities. Poudrette, manufactur ed from ' night soil, would also yield a eood return. Common salt at the rate of. two bushels per acre, when mixed' with the two' ingredients named, would be very , effective. At this time of year, with the aid of domestic animals and fowls, a com post heap could be started which by frequent turning over and a mixture of chamber slops could be made most available in lime for corn plant ing. As statedroove, ashes and salt could be added in the handling, and these together would form a compdst that could be applied by the fork or shovel full to the hill. Supposing it I to , be intentionally mentioned that the land is rented and m consequence may not be obtainable another season, expensive commer cial fertilizers are not under considera tion, because these benefit the land for y?ars and would not possibly pay for one season only. If, however, these latter are used they should not come , in immediate contact with the seed corn, nor should unleached ashes pure and simple. .1 have a re cord somewhere which certifies that over 115 bushels of corn were raised on a single acre. Barnyard manure only was used. The seed was drilled in one foot apart in the row and the rows three and one half feet apart. Uur correspondent does not state the extent of his field and so we can not determine whether it be practie able to apply the fertilizer in the hill. On a comparatively small patch hthis is certainly best and entirely leasible. ... ... - reruvian guano would be very good, but would cost between $40 and $80 for a 10-acre field. This would have to be handled the same as ashes and should not be allowed to come in immediate contact with the seed. - : Coffee pots, sifters, cost, at Young's. wash tins at LEGISLATURE- Raleigh, N. .C, January I3- This afternoon the Legislature Com mittee on Judiciary decided to favor ably report a strongjaill which strikes at the violation of law by ynchings. It imposes a fine of $500 and imprison ment upon, any lynchers who are detected, and also holds responsible the authorities of the county in which the lynching is done. . " The Senate Saturday tabled three important bills, these being to amend the Code in regard to usury, to re store to the tax lists lands unlisted for three years, and to repeal the home stead law. A bill' passed extending the char ter of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway. . In the House, some important bills were introuced, these being as fol lows: - ... To give the Railway Commission power to assess the property of steam boat companies ; to establish a State Colored Normal College at Winston; to give the Railway Commission power to require the careful handling of baggage; to amed the code in re gard to married women, by placing tnem on tne same looting as a female in actions for the recovery of real property ; to . relieve railway com panies from making annual reports to the Governor. -A resolution was, introduced re questing members of Congress to urge an amendment to the Consti tution giving the people the right to vote directly for President and Senators. 1 A bill to prohibit county commis- sioners- from appointing ignorant or : incompetent persons asjudges 01 elec tion also went - to the table, the Republicans voting against giving it that fate. The House also tabled a bill to prevent discrimination in the sale of commercial fertilizers. A bill for the relief of witnesses in criminal actions, giving the same per diem and mileage as jurors, was tabled. - . . ELECTION CONTESTS. There was an interesting argument bv counsel before the Elections Com mittee in the Senate in the contested- election, case of J. P. Leach (Demo crat) against W. E.Henderson (color ed Republican) for the seat of Senator from Warren and Vance counties. Plffmm on1 Cihaw anneared for Leach and Montomery and Hicks for Henderson.

The House committee heard argu ment jSy the same counsel in the con tested-election case of Long against Wright, from Warren. A bill was introduced to encorpor ate the Burlington and Southwestern railway. . s Buls of prominence introduced in the House were to repeal the merch-ants'-purchase' tax, to create an additional cause for divorce, and to exclude married persons from the benefits of the public schools. - Bills ' passed a final reading to . fn . 1 1 fcT 1 remove tne state colored lNormai College from Warrenton to Franklin ton, northern Presbyterians paving pledged commodious ""buildings and $2,000 a year at the latter place ; to change the date of the inauguration of State officers and make it the third Wednesday after the first Monday in January net after their election.

Mr. Harrison and his Secretary of State have had a serious disagree ment and nothing but the nearness of Secretary Foster's resignation and departure for Europe, has prevented an open row much more serious than that which led to the retirement of Mr. Blaine from the Cabinet last, 'summer. It is said to be a direct result of Mr. . Harrisons action that the Re public of Columbia has positively re fused to renew the French concession for the Panama Canal, which will shortly expire by limitation. Representative Bourk Cockran, of New York, who has come to the front with a rush during this Congress, says me taiK aDout nis going into Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet amounts to noth ing, and that he is just where ' he wants to be, m the House. ; Is tKe country on the eve of "an other whiskey ring scandal ? There are people here who believe that it is, and a resolution has been intro duced in the House providing for the appointment of a select committe, of five to investigate the various charges that have been made against whiskey trust of defrauding the government of money by the use , of poisonous drugs in adulterating the liquor manufactured, and specially instruc ting the committee to ascertain and report the names of all persons con nected in any way with! the trust, ac cording to rumor this investigation, if it he ordered by the House, will re sult in bringing to light a very sensa tional scandal, involving .the good name of many men not suspected by the general public of profiting by the dealings of the wiskey trust. . It is probable that the House com mittee on commerce, will "favorably report a bill providing for an amend ment to the Inter-state Commerce law permiting railroad pooling when ever in the judgment of the Inter-state Commerce Commissioners it. will' be to the interest of the public to allow it, and authorizing the commissioners to put a stop to it whenever it be comes necessary to protect the iter ests of the public. Hon. Henry' Villaid, who has been conspicuously mentioned as probable member of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet is irr Washington, endeavor ing to persuade Congressmen to sup port a bill for the ' suspension of the purchase of silver,. He says that whatever his personal inclinations might be his large business interests would compel him to decline a seat in the Cabinet, should it be tendered to .him by Mr. Cleveland. A report that President-elect Cleveland was consideriug the name of Senator Morgan, of Alabama,rfor secretary of btate was received with pleasure hare. Senator Morgan's 1 . iyng ana conspicuous service as a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has qualified him to make an ideal Secretary of State, if he would consent to leave the Sen ate. ; ( Senator Caffery, who will by the appointment of the " Governor of Louisana fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Senator Gibson, took his seat Saturday. .He made a very favorable impression upon his colleagues. Every bodyJ around the. Senate is glad that the tiresome anti-option bill is to be finally disposed of this week. It will be passed. ' Decidedly the . busiest place in Washington at this time is the head quarters of the Inauguration com mittee.

A long- article appeared in the Savannah News of the 2nd insL, in reference to the plans and movements ofthe Atlantic Coast Line.' Among other things, it is stated that the A. C. L.- desires to turn its passenger and freight business via the South Bound railroad which the Star lerans from the highest official sources is in correct. - It is true, however, that the Atlan tic Coast Line, intends to continue the extension'of Manchester and Au gusta Railroad to Denmark, S; C, on its way to Augusta. Twenty miles of this is already built ; there remains to construct forty-five miles. At Denmark it will connect both with the South Bound railroad and with the South Carolina; Railroad. The construction of the road to Den mark will make, the Atlantic Coast Line the short line from- Washington to Augusta, Macon-, and many other interior Georgia points, using the fifty six-miles of the South Carolina railroad between Denmark and "Au gusta to reach Augusta. The principal object ofthe coqr struction of this road to Denmark by the Atlantic Coast Line is to reach Augusta. . A large amount of the freight business done out of Florida to Northern points by the Coast Line now comes" from the line of the Florida Central & Peninsula railroads which has leased the South Bound railroad. The Atlantic Coast Line, will, of course, be glad to receive this business at Denmark, if it cannot se cure it elsewhere. It is expected that the construction of this road will be completed within twelve months. The article in the Savannah News cantains much "gossip," many guess es and many inaccuracies. But the News . may rest assured that those who direct . the destinies of the At lantic Cast Line are vawake and will spare no effort to profect" the inter ests of that great property in the competition for both freight and pas senger tariffic.

West, secretary of the na tional Farmers' Alliance, has issued an address to the farmers, advising a diminution in cotton for 1893. ! McKinny, Texas, January 4. The work of preparing for the next cot ton crop is already begun. Some cot ton is yet in the fields, much of which will never be gathered. The weather is now fairly good and in some places the ground is sufficiently dry to work but in the black lands the roads are simply impassable. - Yesterday at Navasota lsaw sbme wagons loaded with wood being drawn by ten oxen. The cotton yet in .the fields is much damaged and the condition ofthe roads is such thatit would hardly be worth the labor of gathering it. Next year's crop should be a large one. This black land holds moisture well and it is said that with the amount of water now in the ground a good crop would be made next year without any rain at all. A big crop will be planted for, and all in all, at the present time, as far as such a matter can be judged so early, it looks as if Texas would make about 3,000,000 bales of cotton next year.

Harris, curator of iuc uue museum nas received from a friend in New Mexico, a curious specimen in the shape of a-walking cane. The cane issomething larger than a mian's thumb, and is of natural growth. Seemingly- it is a 'twig or small tree that has been cut, dried and and varnished. But the strange part of it is that the stick is hollowed from end to end like a tube or .cylinder, and that such growth is characteristic of that species' of wood. A1S the knots on the cane have la?ge hoBows showing that its branches also cylindrical. The tube, or shell, of the cane is filled with diamond shaped perforations, also of natural growth , curiously devised , arranged with great regularity. The stick is tapering from butt to joint, with sec tions of the hollow similarly - decreas ing. The carving done by nature on such wood eclipses the rarest speci mens of manual ing en uity.
