An eleven months' old kid in Vir-
finia devoured a whole sewing basket.
t'8 mamma left it for a while, and on
returning the contents of her basket
were fonad in the -kid's stomach.
The articles were : 18 pins, 4 needles,
8 tacks, 7 ads of paper, 2 wwads of
muslin, 8 China buttons, 1 vest but
ton, 4 pearl buttons, 1 shoo button,
1 piece of bark, t5 corks, 1 piece, of
feather, 1 piece of match, 1 brass
panta button, 2 pieces of chips, 1

IT IS HILL.
The Democratic caucus
of the
New Tork
Legislature has
nomi
nated Gov. David Bennett Hill for
United States Senator. This is
equivalent to an election. So Hill is
to succeed Senator Evarts.
This put3 him, it is said, in good
-shape for the Democratic nomination
for President in 1892. This thing
uuvmuuu tvu.au.
It is very strange that some are so
Hilly, when the very mention of the
na ne of a noble, brave, honest son
in most any assembly causes a wild,
enthusiastic cheer but it may be a
theory and not a condition that the
Hillites are following.
JO. O AH IELS STATE PBIXTEB.
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 20. Josephus
Daniels was nominated for State
printer tonight, by the Democratic
caucus by acclamation.
This is a dispatch to the Charlotte
Chronicle. In what shape Mr.
Daniels is to be printer no one can
tell from the dispatch. If he is to
have it, as in the past, wnen it has
been plainly shown that the system
was an expensive one and when the
News & Observer offered to take it
at 15 per cent less then how can
the Legislature explain its action ?
The Standard is not opposed to Mr.
Daniels having it, but to hold it as
he has for four years we consider
squandering $3,000 per year.
THE ESSENCE OF CRIME.
In another column is an article
under title, "Penitentiary Statistics."
Read it It shows, partially, the
summing up of the evil doers of
the State. There are 1,302 at pres
ent in prison, and of these 418 are
tinder the age of twenty years. This
is sad, but it is sadder still when yon
think of fiftysix who aie under fif
teen years of age. The finger of
humane justice points at that and
cries for some better form of meting
out justice and effecting reforma
tion. It ia consoling, however, to know
that only one has a collegiate educa
tion. It is remarkable that only one di
Torced prisoner is found.
It is significant that 759 are sin
gle. Let the report be read with
care.
HE'S. MOT WEANED OF HIS HABIT.
Quite an interesting circumstance
occurred at Milton, N. C, several
days ago. A New Englander didn't
know the war was over and bought
a little colored boy for $5.00 ; he
doubtless expected to make a little
fortune oa him. The Milton Ad-
vertiser says this about it:
A gentleman from one of the New
England States was sojourning here
for a few days and came to . the con
clusion that he would like to take a
little negro back home with him.
lie strftck up with Frank Brandon,
familiarly known as "Old Blue,"
who not only had a boy who would
answer the demands of the case, but
as in a trading humor. The money
was paid (5.00), and when the time
to leave this sunny clime came the
New England gentleman called for
his boy. He could not be found, for
he had been hid by his mother.
Then the New England gent wanted
his money, but that was no go, as
jjine" had invested it in whiskey
and was drunk on the strength of

FEXITEXTIARY STATISTICS.
There's Food for Thought In Them.
Since the opening of the Peniten
tiary in 1870 there have been re
received 8,903 convicts; of whpm
1.302 remain in the insti'Ution : of
these 706 cannot read, 123 can read;
397 can read and wr te ; 13 have a
common education ; 2 have an acade
mic and one a collegiate education ;
5G were under 15 year3 of age; 3G2
were under 20; 544 under 30; 181
under 40 ; 77 under 50 ; 50 under CO;
19 under 70, and 7 were over 70 years
when received.
There are 217 white mals and 7
white females; 1,034 negro males
and 42 colored females, and 2 In
dians. There were 474 married, .j'J
single, 68 widowed and 1 divorced.
New Hanover has 80 convicts in tne
penitentiary, Guilford 44, Wayne 42,
Mecklenburg 38, JUdgecomue ..
Wake, the largest county in the
State, has only 21, there being fifteen
counties with more representatives
than we have, our convicts being
worked on the public roads, aud
supported by the county, our Raleigh
township having levied a tax oi $ou,
000 for that purpose; 41 are in for
life ; 47 for twenty years and more,
and the bulk are for five years and
under; 143 are serving their second
term; 16 their third; 1 his fourth,
and 1 his sixth. These two had hot
ter make a permanent contract. Dur
ing 1889, 26 died, and in 1890, 24
We th nk this death rate is
very small.
As railroad work will soon cease,
ntul flift ronvicta be thrown on the
hands of the directors, preparation
has been made to meet that emer
gency. The -suggestion is U start
jute and tobacco factories inside the
penitentiary; and if that is nrt ap
proved then the CDnvicts will be used
on the farms, ine experience on
the Roanoke has impressed the man-
affement with the belief that each
convict can be made to earn his liv
ing on the farm. The net profit of
the work on the farm last year is
fated at more than $13,000. It is
perhaps due to Col. Faison to say
that he has devoted his time almos
exclusively to tlrs business and that
under the co-operative direction of
the other members of the board, he
has been able to accomplish better
results thin under the old system
when the matters were not speedily
committed to the supervision cf one
man. It gives us pleasure to com
mend this showing and to compli
ment the Board on the success that
has attended their efforts and also to
compliment the faithful officers who
have carried into effect the directions
of the management.

The Purchase Tax,
We hope this Legislature will have
the courage to abolish the purchase
tax. There never was a more unjust
law on the statute books. There is
no more reason why merchants should
pay tax on what they, buy than
manulacturers, louuuers, newspaper
editors, farmers or anybody else. We
believe in equality to all and special
injustice to none. The merchant
pays his advalorem tax like other
owners oi property and that is
enough. To place a double tax on
him and not on others is legal rob
bery.
1 he purchase tax is not only un
just but it makes the burden on
farmers and all consumers heavier.
The more taxes we place on mer
chants the higher will be the good3
they sell and the tighter the mort
gages they take. All such taxes
must finally be paid by the consumer,
Moreover all uniust taxes have a
tendency to corrupt the people by
tempting them to make false returns.
Down with the purchase tax!

FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED.
In most diseases, cure depends upon
the promptness with which remedies are
administered. If the remedy be taken
when symptoms of disease first , mani
fest themselves and before the normal
strength of the body is gTeatly impaired,
the complaint may often be checked and
cured in the beginning, the sufferer thus
escaping sickness of perhaps a fatal
character. This is especially true of com
plaints to which the young are liable.
First symptoms are often neglected,
simply because no effective remedy
happens to be at hand, and it is not
until the disease has gained consider
able headway that means are taken to
arrest its course. Alas, how frequently
these means prove too late!
Every household, therefore and, for
that matter, every individual should
be provided with a few simple remedies
for the common complaints to which
all are exposed. As no complaints are
more common than those of the throat
and lungs, a safe and efficacious ano
lyne should always be within reach.
We have been impelled to make these
cautionary remarks by happening to
notice in a recent paper the case of a
child who would, undoubtedly, have
died of croup had there not been in the
house part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry.
Pectoral. The following incident re
lated by the father of the little one,
should certainly impress every parent
with the necessity of being forearmed
for a similar emergency : :
" One of my children had croup. The
case was attended by our physician,
and was supposed to bo well under con
trol. One night I was startled by the
child's hard breathing, and on going to
his bedside found him strangling. He
had nearly ceased to breathe. Realiz
ing that the child's alarming condition
had become possible in spite of the med
itnivsutfr refheafes would b'e otlfOSfWifid
Having part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral in the house, I gave the child
three doses, at short intervals, and
anxiously waited results. From the
moment the Pectoral was given, the
child's breathing grew easier, and in a
short time he was sleeping quietly and
breathing naturally. The child is alive
and well to-day, and I do not hesitate
t say that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved
Lfc life." f-

SWINK'S TARIFF LECTURE.
:o:-
The sectional discrimination of the McKinley bill, as it
now stands, is even more marked than was that of the Mills
bill, 10 which we called attention in 1888. The three most
important staples that aie peculiarly Southern are cotton,
sugar and rice. On the staples
Northern as well as Southern,
by an increase of rates." We
rate on any important staples, other than rice and sugar.
Cotton is on the free list, of course, as before, but the rate on
cotton ties, made in and used
35 to 105 per cent, so that, in
of the bouth are discriminated against by the bill. They
have agreed that machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar
may be imported one year free of duty. When asked to
admit machinery for the manufacture of cane into sugar and
into molasses on same terms,
from The Voice.
Suppose you are able to elect a majority of the House'of
Representative who are in favor of a jut tariff bill: It will
take ten years to change the Senate, and you may never elect
a President.
What must we do to get
unjust discrimination of the tariff ?
Enccurage the manufactories at home by buying their
goods, the manufacture of which gives emgloyment to the
