The Democratic party in North
Carolina suffered in the lcwt elec
tion from two poteut disintegrat-
ing influences, to-wit (1) internal
'dissensions and (2) the lack of 8
, contrast ' In fact, the latter large
ly accounts for the former and al
most of itself sufficiently accounts
for defeat'"- - ', ;.
The days of 68-'70-'70 were a
long ways behind.; An unbroken
series of victori s for eighteen
years lay behind the 'Democratic
party. To thousands of itsoldei
followers Republican, domination
was a memory 'and to hosts of its
younger members only a hearsay.
A feeling of r security discounted
danger, and in an hour of pre
sumption, bitter factions arose and
grew more and more bitter. Thf
time had tome for the party's de
feat and it was defeated- '' '
But.there need be no dissension
next year. ' Those who wanted to
see Ransom beaten, saw him go
down with the rest of us. Those
who wanted to ee J wit beaten,
if it wrecked the- whole- State,
ought to be satisfied with the re
sults. The way 'is -open now for
a'l Democrat to get together. New
men, unencumbered by bitter fac
tional affiliations should be sought
out , and will' be sought out as
standard-bearers. As for the con
trast, the Bute got it in the last
Legislature, and the people will
get it from now on. The contrast
will be . tuijhasized every; court
week in nearly every county in
the State until next election, U
say nothing of what 'may be ex
pected in some of the magistrates'
courU. The contrast is here..Tht
State already has a bad taste in
its mouth and will spit it out next
year.- ...-...'. -

er Robinson's method below:
"To prepare bacon for summer
keeping in this climate, very much
more care is required from the
time of killing up to the time of
Honng twy? than is necessary in
states farther north.' Thoroughly
expelling the animal heat before
salting is indispensably and hogs
should not be butchered except on
cold days. The salting must be
heavy to preserve the; meat, but
no previous precautions will be of
auy avail unless the dry meats,
such as hams, shoulders and mid
dles, are canvassed early in such
a manner as to make them thor
oughly fly proof. Each piece
should be well wrapped in coarse
paper aud be tightly sewed up in
heavy cotton cloth, cut to fit it,
and then dipped in thick colored
lime wash and be hung in as dry
and cool a. place- at possible.
Smoking and sprinkling with pep
per are both good for a finish in
curing, but are no protection
against damage from flies."
It will be well to remember that
a rather ilcrw process of smoking is
better than forcing. Some of the
very best curers of bacon ttconi
mend smoking half day at a time

Washington Letter.
Washington, March 29.
Tbomas Jefferson was the au
thor of the Monroe doctrine.
What is called the "Holly Al
liance" of Europe, formed os
tensibly in the interest ot re
ligion, was really an alliance on
the part of the great powers of
Europe to hold their American
possessions against the growing
power of the young republic
known as the United States.
James Monroe was president.
Thomas Jefferson, had gone to
Monticello, his country seat, to
enjoy the honors of a well-spent
life. . Monroe wrote for his
opinion.- He gave it. It was
to let European matters alone,
but when they sought territory
in America, to pursue a vigor
ous policy ofL self protection.
The reasons are plain to anyone
familiar with the geography of
this country. England could
and -her forces ' in Canada or
South America. Spain in Cuba
or HouthAmerica without Moles
tation. Cuba is an important
point. Thomas Jefferson said
the United States ought to own
Cuba. Cuba h in revolt today.
The state department has been
recently advised that three ship
ments of arms have been made
within tbepast few weeks from
the United States to the insur
gents in Cuba. In one case the
arms were sent from Philadel
phia to Savannah.1 1 They were
transferred at that point to a
small fishing smack of ten or
fifteen tons burden and carried
iO the east coast of Cuba, to the
Province of Santiago de Cuba,
which is the hotbed of the revo-
ution. - :
These fishing vessels 'are bo
small that they can hover about
the shore until the coast is clear,
and then make a landing at any
one of a score of safe points.
The administration, it is said, is
doing all in its power to prevent
the shipment of these contra
bands of war, but it is claimed,
they are being made constantly,
- The appointment of Gen. Mar
tinets Campos, the commander
in-chief of tho Spanish army in
Cuba,is regarded here as mean
log a vigorous prosecution of
the rebellion from this time.
Campos is a stern old veteran of
many wars, and will use the
most repressive measures in or-
der to check the growing tide of
insurrection.
But Spain is torn with inter
necine troubles. Now is the
time for Cuba to be free and to
annex herself to the United
States, Hon. Wm.U. Whitney,
one of the foremost democrats
in this country, has announced
himself as unreservedly in favor
of an aggressive foreigi policy.
Europe has no business with one
square inch of American terri
tory. Spain has removed the
naval officer who ordered the
Allianca to be fired on, but th's
is a ruse, ' for ' Spain canni t
afford to antagonize theU. 8
now, It is as much as she ca n
do to take care of Cuba and her
internal dissensions.

Evident Rascality.
.' Mr. R. M- Croom, the Repub

"I have no recollection of any
such bill passing. I never heard
of it. I remember there was a
bill to prevent preferences. The
bill in regard to mortgages must
have been "cycloned1' through,
or e?se the clerks "passed" it,
It might have been wrongly ex

troduced or who was pressing
it. You will remember that a

that an extra ' session of the

Those North Carolinians who
separated themselves from the
Democratic party last year in
the hope of getting something
better in legislation than they
have heretofore enjoyed, have
se m their hopes disappointed. 1
The Legislature, which has just;
adjourned, did not fulfill one
promise in forty, and no honest
man can claim that it met the
just expectations of those who
elected it. t Beyond continuing
the appropriations heretofore
made" by the Democratic party
for the public institutions, it did
nothing that will redound to the
general welfare, and many of
its enactments are positively
harmful, as time will develop
Many ot the incidents attending
its proceedings were openly and j
notoriously scandalous, v 1 1
It must be manifest to everv !
intelligent citizen, in view of
everything that has happened
at Raleigh since the , 1st of Jan
uary, and in considering the
many things that have not, that
nothing is to be expected in fu
ture of the combination which
constitute this Legislature. It
is a bad lot. . It not only failed
to do nearly everything it prom
ised to do, but by what it did it
demonstrated that it is not fit to
govern North' Carolina. The
universal cry throughout the
State should be, Away with it!
Away with it 1 If a man or par
ty fool you once it is his or its
fault; if he or it fool you twice,
it is yours. Surely no stronger
argument could be presented to
the people of this State to per
suade them to turn again to the
party which governed so long
and so well, than is offered by a
review of the proceedings of the
Legislature just adjourned.
