The President, in thus giving high position to the younger liter Ateores of the Sooth, has done a greater service to our section than be could have done in appointing our greatest politi tidAus. There is a notion abroad that the Sooth is behind other sections in learning, and the literary men of Europe and other countries do not appreciate our couinern insuiuuons ana nouioeru scholarship at theiiOrne worth. These two appotntmenU advertise to the world that some good thing In scholarship can come out of KAxareth, and that Southern scholars are chosen above all others to rrpreaont ns at the eoort of Athens, the time-honored home of song, story and sculpture, and at the Moorish eapiul, which hAA sent out the scholars and priests to teach continents and peoples. Ebeu AleisTvVr at Athena, and Han nis Tsylor at Madrid, are worth more to the reputation of the growing interest in letters at the South thAa any other recognition which our literary rennais AAnce could hAve received. 8ome good men will criticise these appointments be cause the appointees have not made political speeches. There are other posi tions which caa and will be given to de serving public speakers, who made great sacrincea for the party, and whose sacri fices mAkepceible the elevation of such men as Mr. Alexander and Mr. Tsylor. The scholar cannot despise the politician, and the politician cannot say to the scholar, ' I have no noed of thee." One of the chief inflaeneea that operated to secure the election of Mr. ClevalAnd was the trend of all college education toward the true principles of political economy which are embodied in Democratic doe trine. It is meet and proper that such Influences should be recognised, and it is gratifying to us here in North Carolina that such recognition should be given to the persons of Eben Alexander and Ean nia Taylor. A public office is a public trust w and does not belong to anyone. That is the maxim of this administration. But while this is so, there is no reyon why the trustees should not come from all sections of the country, or why some sections should be given advantage over others in administering the trusts. With this idea in view SecretAry Carlyle is preparing a list of employees in the department in order to show what proportion of the of ficers are from the several States. His idea is that the District of Columbia gets more than its proportion. He is said to intend to apportion the places equally to all the Congressional districts in the country. This will give satisfaction and will insure equally as good service. There has long been prevalent a notion that North Carolina has not got its fair proportion of the offices, and some Re publican Congressmen, in times past, hsve caused parties to be put on the rolls who never saw North Carolina. With a view to letting the people of the State know (as they have a-right to) who bold office in Washington from North Carolina, I have taken the trouble to prepare a list of all the office-holders from the State in the different departments here. It may be that all of them are actual resi dents of the State and ought to hold the plAoee they have. It maybe that some of them have no claims on the State, and that they are usurping positions that ought to be held by North Carolinians. If so, the Senators and Representatives in Congress can take such action as is deemed proper. Most of those who hold office from North Carolina, obtained it First Relieve the People Redeem the Prosmiae at Ckieago Expect a M 000,000 DeSeleaey La the First Twa Year A' $30,000,000 Sarplaa ta the x Years FoIIowiag If e Tax oa Sagar. The following letter, addressed by Mr. j Thomas G.

Thus far considerations have been urged which seem to call imperatively for a prompt and radical reform of the tariff, with a large reduction of duties. Bet it is urged, not merely by oppon ents of all " reform, but by some of its timid friends, that the necessities of National revenue axe at this time so great as to forbid any large reduction of duties, since that would involve a con siderable deficiency of public revenue. reau. salary 1 1.200.

This tariff ought, therefore, to be framed in such a manner as to produce during' the next eight or ten years an amount of revenue which shall be fairly sufficient for the wants of that entire period. It ought to be so drawn as not to produce enough revenue for the first two years of its ex istence, because if it did so it would pro duce an excessive arid corrupting revenue in every year thereafter, the. surplus in creasing year by year, to. the oppression of the people and the corruption' of the government It is not merely permissi ble to adopt a tariff, which will, at the beginning, produce inadequate revenue; it is the solemn duty of the new Congress to do so. - : vi:''1 : There are some especial reasons, pecu liar to this time, which imperatively re quire that this policy should be followed.

The grandest sight in the world to-day is the picture given ns in the daOy papers of Mr. Gladstone standing up in Parlia ment pleading for Home Rule in Ireland. His utterances are always luminous and axiomatic. 4f In the civilised world " said he "no incorporated union affected a'td maintained by force has ever prospered.' The opposition thought the grand old man had left a gap open, and Sir Michael Hicks-Reach interrupted him with, Take the ease of the United Sutea.' Mr. Gladstone did not reply by saying "I hare thee on the hip,' but be had him there all the same, and he quietly replied: 'I said incorporated union (cheers). Ton mimed the essential word.' He then went oa to die the instance of Hol land and Belgium which tried incorporat ed union, and after a precarious exis tence of fifteen years, a divorce was ef fected. Austria and Hungary tried incorporation, and after years of sad ex- will give the names in the other depart ments. There are 4,500 employees in the Interior department North Carolina's fair proportion would, therefore, be 122. We have only 84 North Carolinians in that department, which inclndeslhe Pen sion, Patent, Census, Land and Indian departments. We are entitled to have 68 more- North Carolinians to get our proportion. Nearly all these offices are under the civil service regulations and of course can only be obtained by examina tions and approvals. It is evident from this statement that, in the past, either the commission has done North Carolina an injustice, or not enough North Caro linians have applied to fill out the State's fair quota. There is no way to secure these places except a few beads of divi sions, outside of passing the civil service examination. There is no way to evade this law. if thAt were desirable, and if North Carolinians desire places they must stand the examinations which will not be held in the State now until Octo ber. In the Postoffice department there are tii employees here. North Carolina is entitled to 18 of that number. We hare 14 or rather 14 are credited to North Carolina, one of whom lives in Philadel-. phia. NOBTB CABOUXA EXTLOTKES IX INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. William f.

Considered. . - - J,-.. fhA noHanf rwvmlA nf thA TTni- u uvu .uw " ted States to burden -them with a tariff which would provide during its first two years an annual revenue sufficient to meet the 40,000,000 dollars or more which are now being paid out for arrears of pen sions, when all such demands will cease within two or three years. . Even if the revenue did nottend to increase, yet this single circumstance alone would lead to a surplus revenue of 40,000,000 dollars per annum in and after the year 1896. The immense difficulty which has been found in getting rid of a tariff-produced surplus revenue, in the past, constitutes a most impressive warning against the folly of risking such a tariff in the future. The sum of the whole matter is that, so far from, it being your duty to recom mend the adoption of a tariff which will supply the present necessities of the na tional government, it is a duty which you owe to yourself, to your party and to your country, to insist upon a tariff which shall leave an apparent deficiency of ful ly 50,000,000 per annum for the first two years, because any higher tariff will lead to a surplus of at least 30,000,000 per annum at the close of your presidential term. Mr. Edward Atkinson has put the country under obligations by his clear analysis of the financial situation, par ticularly with respect to pensions, and by his excellent suggestion of the issue of exchequer bills at low rates of interest and payable at the pleasure of the gov ernment, by means of which the difficul ties of the next two years can easily be bridged over. Every consideration of party expedien cy, of public policy, of justice to an over taxed people and of regard for the purity of government in the future demands that the tariff shall not only be reformed, but that its burdens shall be promptly and immensely reduced. There is no danger of the reduction being too great; the danger is all in the other direction. verified the profound aphorism with which they began their campaign in 1888 that it is easier to handle a sur plus than a deficiency. The author of that brilliant saying had shown his ca pacity in private life to do precisely that thing, and the statesmen who quoted him, while they had a larger surplus -to handle than he ever had, have also pro duced a larger deficiency. , The first fact which must be looked in the face is that this deficiency is far too great to be filled up by any timid, half hearted measures. It cannot be sup plied by leading the tariff as it is, still less by increasing rates upon an articles now dutiable. Any increase of duties upon articles which are not free under the McEinley act will TJnly decrease the revenue; because duties are now so high as to be, in a multitude of cases entirely prohibitory, and prohibitory duties pro duce no' Government revenue. If the revenue is to be increased duties must be diminished. A reduction of about one-fourth from the present rates on an average and one-half upon prohi tory duties is the only ' method by which any additional revenue can be procured from articles now subject to duty. A mild and timid reduction of this charac ter would probably increase the revenue by from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. But no such increase of revenue would at all suffice to supply the enormous de ficiency which has been created by the reckless legislation of the Congress of 1890.' ' It will be impossible to supply the entire deficiency from revenue without 50perienoa they found that the choka biy I Bureau, SAlary $1,200, in giving it cp or the empire.

I went to .the record to see how he secured his appoint ment It reads:. "Recommended by The. O. Miller and Dr. Pepper, of Phil adelphia. This is a small office. -1 call pubLio attention to it because of the principle involved. . It is wrong to credit any man to North Carolina who does not belong to North-Carolina, and it is worse to let Philadelphia men designate officers who are charged to North Carolina. I am sure our Congressmen need only to know these facts to correct the evils com plained oL J. D. One Maa Wfce Doeaat Waat Office. and probably also upon tea and coffee. It would be foreign to the purpose of this correspondence to state why I am opposed on principle to the restoration of any such taxes. It is sufficient to say that it would be an act of suicide for the Democratic party to attempt any ' such measure, and that there is not a word in the Democratic platform which re quires the perpetration of such an act of political madness. It would turn a vast majority of the women of the country against the new administration and would cause it to lose every Western States as well as, in all probability, the State of New York. Your administration will be, therefore, confronted at a very outset with 'the ab solute certainty that no kind of tariff can be framed which will supply revenue sufficient' to meet the' necessities of the: Government during the next two years. You will be compelled to choose between direct taxation and a temporary, increase of the public debt . Personally, I am strongly in favor of direct taxation. But no scheme of such taxation could be framed and carried into effect so as to produce any great! amount of revenue within the next two years. The immediate pressing problem cannot, therefore, be solved in this way; and this makes it unnecessary to raise an issue upon which your political friends might probably be divided. The logic of facts drives to the inevita ble conclusion that there must be some temporary increase of the public debt. Although it is highly discreditable to the government of this great country that it should be obliged to run into debt in time of peace and prosperity, yet not the j slightest part of that discredit will attach to your administration.

All that you can do is to recognize in a manly and honorable way the damage . which has already been done. The United States government is already, in debt not less than $50,000,000, and has contracted ob ligations which will inevitably increase that debt to $100,000,000. Whatever blame attaches to such a policy belongs to those who have incurred the debt, not to those who honestly and frankly rec ognize it We may therefore, at once dismiss the plea that an immediate supply of new re venue is required, and that for this rea son the tariff cannot be reduced. These facts, moreover, were not unknown to the great Democratic convention, which, in full view of them, nnanimi manded that all the increase imposed , by the McEinley bill should be repealed, and that the tariff should be reduced. .

This absence of a lunar eclipse during the whole year only occurs once in a cen tury. Ordinarily four eclipses take place during a year two of the sun and two of the moon. The greatest number of eclipses that may transpire in a year are seven five of the sun and two of the moon. This only happens once in fifty years. . A Novelty la Advertiniag. RAGGED RE2II5 SCElfCES.

Of all the unsophisticated, incontro vertible, premeditated liars I ever saw he was the best specimen. v Pre known men to lie for glory and for gain, for love and for licker; for the pur pose of concealing their own meanness, but Bustles lied for the fun of it He didnt care a cent what the subject was, and he didnt wait for an opportun ity. - , " v; He ju8tlied off-hand regardless of cir cumstances or consequences. . - ; Then he had the funniest way of swear- in e. He didnt cuss like a common Christian gentleman, but he invented al sorts of subterfuges in the wayof bywords, relevant, irrelevant and neuter. - " "Dadbnrn the luek, sir,." he said to grandpa, one day in corn planting time, "Dadburn the luck, sir, I've had more trouble with them dasted crows this sea son than I ever had afore. " - "Pulled up your corn, eh V "Every dingnation bit o the fust plant in and I do believe that they et some o' the old corn stalks to boot "But I didnt keer so much about that for I put in my crap early and I only had to plant over again. Howsombedever, ding 'em, when they pitched into that I got mad. I sot a snare and ketched one old she devil and was agwine to wring her cussed neck, but neighbor Jones squinch-eyed Jones,' yon know he said how as if I'd split her tongue and turn her loose She'd raise sich a hell of a rum pus that she'd skeer all the rest off.

So that proved that Squinch eyed Jones told me an infernal lie about the tongue-splitten business, and whnt's more, I couldn't git another crow to come in reach of a snare for no kind of bait.'' "Did they bother your corn ?" "Bother blazes t That sctfired old she devil of a Calamity'd wake up afore day and begin to squall, 'squawnk, squonk, squank,' like sump'n possessed o' the devil himself, and she seemed to me to say, 'come on, come one, come all,' and there they'd come like a pack o' durned tories on an onpertected settlement, and my corn Lord geminy ! Some flew east and some flew west, and some, flew over the cuckoo's nest I never seed the like." "What did you do next ?" "Didn't know what to do. Went to the grocery and bought me a jug o' lick er to Kinder ease my mind. 'Long comes Spuinch-eyed Jones. "jNeignoor,' says 1, mgnt and come in and take a dram. Jest as well to take it easy.

" 'Oh, them dingblasted crows pulled most of my corn up and I replanted and now they are a'ter the second, plantin', fn on1 off ' " 'Pass that 'ere jug,' says Squinch-eyed Jones, as he sorter looked down serious like. 'Ahem. That good licker," shore Here, lemme tell you how to do.' "You told me one dingnation lie al ready Jones, an' don't try no more tongue splittin' games on me. That cussed old split-tongue Calamity crow's caused me more pester than torment, for she fetched all her neighbors and their neighbors and their neighbors' neighbors and her kins folks and their kinsfolks' kinsfolks, and they've eat up my corn crop, by shot.
