Reporter and Post. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE AUered at the Dtmbmy X. C., Po»t-oJllce as Second Clam Matter. THUBBDAY, JANUARY 0. ISB7. TBSB PAPEB SIS&SS St.). whi'ro lulvoih.t- .; gM* b» Mia tor U lN_WiiW_ l'DltK. President Cleveland is again suffering fron rheumatism, though his condition haa become somewhat easier. There are two-hundred and fifty-five million dollars in solid gold on deposit at the Federal Treasury in Washington, that is more than any government on earth can show. President Monroe practised tho same kind of ' Jefferson it n Simplicity" that Thomas Jeffcrsou himself practised-- that la, he was extravagant, was pro fusely hospitable, and spent his income freely in other ways. After having cx bauated all bis own property, and bor rowing from r his relations, no was dependant the last years of his life upon charity. Temple Theatre in Philadelphia was daatrayed by fire Dec, 27. It was own ad by William Singcfly, proprietor of the Philadelphia Record. The building was formerly known as tho Masonic Temple having.been build by the Grand Lodge of Masons of Pennsylvania and occupied by the Masons for lodge pur poses from 1855 to 1873. At that time it was the finest Masonic structure in this country, and probably remained each till the new and still finer Masonic Temple was finished in 1573. Loss up wards of half a million dollars. Two fireman were killed, aud another sustain ed severe injuries. TOK MORMON PROBLEM. A Correspondent at Ogdcn of the Washington Post espressos his belief) that the Mormon problem is slowly solv ing itrolf. It seems soma prominent and wealthy dignitaries of tho Church have renounced polygamy. Last Spring Laater Merrick, a wealthy Bishop of tha Church suddenly went west on a trip to (Im aoast taking his legitimate wife and three separate families buhind him for whom, however, he had abun dantly provided. John Sharp, another' brother of the Church in Salt Lake City, auperintendont of tho Utah Cen tral R. decided a year ago to "leave his religion'' on the occasion of his hav ing to plead to an indictment charging him with unlawful cohiabitation, The I d tg away of John Sage, first presi dent of the Church, to escape trial under indictment, and the bail jumping of John Cannon, second president of the Church, seem to have occasioned much unfavorable comment among the more intalljgent Mormons. Sage is reputed to be a p)%n of more than average abiii ty 9 shrewd but honorable in his dealings. Wo are prepared from our own inowl edge to eharacrenzc Cannon as being a j man of more than average ability, pos sessing a capacity of adroit management and akilfnl fetch. He once wrote us j pleasantly referring to our visit to Salt Lake CStf, in 1871, in the following words : u*•.• « • • » I remember with ploasure your visit, to Salt Lake City. lam not at present ' connected witb the Desert.Yews I'poa my election to Congress I found it in, t compatible with my duties as Delegate l)» maintain my connection with that pa per but I shall take pleasure in bringing the subject [of oolleoting beads arro heads and other Indian relics] to the attention of the Editor, who will 1 am •ore render all the aid in bis power through the columns of his piper to bring tha subject to the notice of the people. I shall also request copies of soma of our works that are printed in the phonetic alphabet to bo sent to Pro/, ilaldeman. 1 may say, however, that It ia sot the intention at the present time to continue tho publication of our worka in that alphabet. We have tc ooma oonvinced that the letters are too aaiibrm to easily njad and that they an trying to the eyes. The Board of Regents of tho Doxrt University bad Mt decided when I left home, what fhMWtm (bey would adopt; but I think the; will eventually decide upon Pit man's alphabet, with perhaps, a fsw alight OMages, as the best adapted i for the purpose. The subject of pbone- I tio •pelling is one that is very near the i heart of President Young and he look-* upon it as n mission which himself and , people aro in a better position to carry out practically and successfully tliau any other comarunity." THE CAUSES OF DEPRESSION— THE HOMKSTEAD LAW. Theie is a widespread opiuion that the piesont law as tj homesteads is a source of great evil to the State Whether sound or otherwise there is no j denying that tho conviction exists aud is widening that no little of the hard times is to be laid at the door of the "Homestead Law." That the people of North Carolina aro not as well off as 1 tho tosc-colorcd pictures we have seen ; presented in our exchanges would have I people to believe is not to bo denied j Northern papers that kuow very little of North Carolina and its people have ' represented a degree of prosperity that j we felt convinced did not exist. These highly tinted accounts were caught up and went the rounds of the State press, i The Star copied none of theiu for it was 1 well persuaded that they were false and misleading. So satisfied were we of this that a few mouths ago we wrote upon it j and also gleaned a column of opiuions from exchanges, in and out of the State, j to nliow that the so-called Southern boom was exaggerated, aud that farmiug j in the South did not pay. Of course there are individuals in every community that make money and j prosper. Of course there aro signs of t genuine prosperity in certain seotions of J counties, and some of the towns are ! growing and flourishing to au unwonted ; degree. For this wo are glad. But j the systeri of farmiug has not been such as to make those engaged in it prosper ous as a class. Tho mortgage system has had more to de with the depressed . condition among the farmers than the "Homestead Law," we are well persuad ed. It is simply impossible that farmers , should thrive in cultivating poor, uuim , proved lands, with prices of products ( low, and interest on money very high.: , Let it be tried when it mav, aud the! I man who pays f«>iu 12 to 30 per e«nu j extra for supplies, and mortgages land and crops to be grown hereafter, will j always "como out at the little end of the horn." , In times of financial distress there are . always many tbeoriscrs and theories as . to what causes the deoression. Each • ! person thinks he bas discovered the . true cause of the embarrassments of the r country. We have no idea that any f one cause brings about the bad results. , There are usually several causes at' work, and must be considered in discus , sing remedies to be applied. I The mortgage system is a curse. There will be no sound financial health among | farmers who resort to it. Then the , system of makiug prosperity reat upou . one crop is dangerous and often disas trous. The plan of keeping smoke-1 houses aud corn.cribs in Illinois, Ohio ' and Kentucky is not a wise one aud has not "panned out" rickly. Looking to 1 the North for a hundred articles to be | purchased for home usa when they can all be produced at horns is another bad sign. Extravagance and fast liviug are other causes at work to keep people! down. The credit system begets ex-! travagan.o. Tbc "Homestead Law* is thought ; to be potential iu the direction of pover- , ty. This view widens with the months, i If true then i he Legislature should take holt} and suhjict tho law to heroic treat- I ment. i As indication of this sentiment we note tho issuing,of a circular by Mr. H. A. Forney, of Newton, N. C. It is a ' discussion of and a protest agiiast the j present "Chattel Mortgage system of ( credit," which it is claimed "ia the child j j of the Homestead system." In a letter ' to us of the 11th it., Mr. Forney says : ( ' "Our people want to be rid of the I' ,Homestead,' which we allege is the i' sause of all this trouble and bard times, 1 1 not only in Catawoa county, but all c aver the Btaie. Something must be j done, or we are a ruined and bankrupt I people. I don't know whether our Leg-1 c islatoi's have the manhood to face the a storm or not, they are about as afraid of " the 'Homestead' as they ar« of the dog |, tax, but our farmers aro going to take this matter in their own hands sooner or alter, despite of the paltiictant. You 1 will see the ball is rolling now.''— Wit-jo mington Star. j _ L STATU NBAS. i Sampson county jail is 102 years old. - It is »*i.t there are 7."v0 R; isoiin.i!:- , ans in ibe state.
