Keal.. In the Forty-eighth Congress (1883-5) the Democrats had a majority of seven-tj'-one in the House of Representatives. In the next the Forty-ninth they had Only forty-one majo ; . x - In. the present . Congress; they have only eleven majority. , In the Congress which Mr. . Harrison will probably summon in extra session after March 4 the Democrats are in mi nority, the Republicans having seven majority. It is surely a serious matter for a great party to be going down hill at this rate. Democrats cannot help but look about anxiously for tne cause of these losses. Where has the Democratic party lost? Let us see. -i .: m In the Forty-eighth Congress the Democratic side of the House was com posed of one hundred and eight South- era, forty-nine'Wcsteraf add forty-one Eastern members nearly as many Northern as Southern, therefore. In the Forty-ninth Congress it had one hundred and eight Southern, but only forty-three Western and thirty-two Eastern members. In the Fiftieth the present House there are one hundred and three South ern, but only thirty-two.; Western-- and thirty-three Eastern Democrats. :. "In the next house there will- be one hundred and two Southern and only twenty-nine Western and twenty-eight Eastern democrats. Between 1882 and 1888, therefore, the , Democratic party has lost thirty-three Northern seats in the House twent3T of them in the West. In that period it has lost six Southern seats, but piostly in Virginia, which at the last election the Democrats carried by only a little , oyer fifteen huudred majority, and which Is evidently abandoning the solid South, Here is a steady loss of Northern democratic seats during six years, in the last four of which ths Democrat had control of the government a loss which carried the party from a majority of seventy-one down' to a minority of seven. How is this very serious drain, this con tinuous falling awtoy from the " Demo cratic party in the Northern States, to be accounted for ? 1 Nothing has happened in the North ern states in these yeara to make .the democratic party in that section of the country, and there alone, odious to the voters. They have been prosperous and uneventful year.. The Democrats in Congress Lave, to be sure, not done anytliing to distinguish themselves. But that has not been the fault of Northern democrats, as we shall now proceed to 'show. The South the solid South has ruled in the House of Rep resentatives. If in the work of Con gress the democratic party has dissatis fied the people in the North, that has not been the fault of Northern Demo cratic Representatives. They had not much influence. They have stowed away in back seats. The solid South elected a speaker for the House, and thzir speaker placed the solid South in coatroll of every impor tant committee. The committees, as everybody knows, control the House and sliape the party policy. Here are a few figures of the present House:1 The Committe of Ways and Means is the most important in the House. It contains eight Democrats aud five Re publicans Of the eight Democrats five in the last Congress and six in the pres ent represent the solid South, leaving the preht'Cbngrcsohiy'biie Eastern and dne Westarn democrat on the com mittes. " ' . On the Judiciary committee we find in the last Congress and in the present six Southern, one Eastern and one Western democrat. On the Foreign Afiairs Committee - .it- there are five Southern; one Eastern and one Western democrat, ', On the River and Harbor Committee there are seven Southern, one Western and no Eastern democrats, though the East has many, harbors. i , :Y. On the Committee on Post ' Offices and Post Roads there are six Southern, no Eastern and two Western demo crats. - . . - : ' On the Committee on Agriculture there are five Southern, two Eastern and two, Western democrats. On the Naval Committee -.there are six Southern, no-Westarn and two Eas tern democrats. " , v 'The Pacific Rrilroad's ComrnitteeiJias four Southern, one- Western and' two Eastern democrats, . - - These are the most important, com mittees. On all of them, it will be seen, Northern Democrats have only a beggarjy share. But couuuittee places mean influence on Legislation, and the Solid South, having the lion's share on the committees, of course has prepared and carried on the work of the House. Now, we don't mean to say anything against Southern men, but it is natural for Northern democrats to' ask them selves, Are there no sound economists among the Northern members to take their part on the Ways and Means ? Are there no good lawyers in the 'North I to deserve the places on the Judiciary STATE NEWS. Items of Interest Gathered frond all Parts of .io uitc. Nashville is to open up a tobacc man ket. " : th Tafty. A WORD TO OUR FARMERS- To Start a llalky llorve. Committee? Is it necessary to pu' ' Seven Southern democrats and not one Eastern on the Committee which looks after rivers and harbors ? Are not Northern democrats so fit as their Southern bretheren to consider foreign affairs that that committee must have five from the South and only two from the great North? Are the post offices and post roads of such predominantly Southern interests that that committee should have six Southern Democrats and only one Western and two Eastern ones on it? Can Southern men wonder if year af ter year a certain deep irritation at that persistent political anomaly the 4isolid South" lodges in Northern minds, and that it finds expression at Northern poll? MONEY. Wilmington Star. The position that we have taken as'to money is this. The interest in England on consols i? 3 percent. At this time in New York you can borrow on six months for 4 J per cent. Farmers in North Carolina have been paying from 12 to 50 pe cent. A farmer tells us that some times they have paid as much as 80 per cent. Money is lent at 12 to 14 per cent. As long as this is done in the very teeth of the law it is ab surd to pass another lav making the legal interest 6 per cent. Meu and women with small sums to lend 100 to, say, ?2,000 will stand by the law at 6 per cent.. while another class will ignore the law and lend at 12 to 14 per cent or more. We believe that money should fetch what it is worth. If it is worth 20 per cent, let it bring it. If about 3 per cent, let it bring it. If you could compel all men to lend money at 6 or 8 per cent, there mi?ht be soma limtinreitioti. net-' haps. In view of the irreed of ex tortioners to frame a law limitin money t a certain per cent. Bui while conscientious men will lei.d at the law's limit, there are others who will take all they can get, law or no law. So it is best, probab.'y, to have no interest law at all. We have reason for saying that if the State laws were such as to en able Northern capitalists to lend money and without a probability of litigation, tXat it could be secured It is proposed to incorporate the Durham Young Men's Christian Asp-, ciacon.

If there is a quarrel, pour on oil. Blessed are the peace-makers. Hut the oil-can is for the rarer emer- gencies. It is not everybody that has the gift of putting oil on juet the spot that grates; and it is not ever day that quarrels occur which -is -for taa oil can. But blessed be taffy. It is wanted every day and from everybody. It is the universal sweetness of social and domestic life. Husband, have you come home and do you find your wife tired and hot with the day's work in chamber and kitchen? Give her a little tally. Say a sweet thing to her. Praise her for something. Tell her nice the bread is, so much bet ter than the bakers; that the catsup is the beet she ever made;, that the house loosed so sweet and restful when you came in; that she has the dearest chil dren that ever lived and at your leisure before she goes to bed tell her she is your heart's treasure. It will do her good; it will make the smiles come. She may box your ears when you say sweet petting things, and tell you are talking as you would to the cat, but she will like it just the same. ' Wife, does your good man come home weary and burdened, exhausted and no not cross, but undemonstrative and silent? Go up to bim wtyh a sweet wel come. Say something pretty to him. Men all love to be appreciated add flat tered. Give him the sugar stick. Tell him some pretty thing somebody said about him. Tell him how much you admire what he has done; and when you can sit down alone with him take his hand and pet him and tell him you love him more than tongue can tell; don't be afraid of overdoing it and using comical little exaggerations. He may know, and you mas know, that there is taffy in it We all like it; and we all like to be told we are loved, and the saying of it makes it all truer. It is a great deal better to cultivate one s love with warm expressions than to blight it with frost. Pretty nothings? Why, they are big realities, the stuff happiness fseds on. Give us more taffy. Did you ever see doves rub each oth er's bills? What a kiss? Taffy. What is a compliment? Taffy. What is po liteness ? Taffy. The good Lord him self praises his loved one with a well done far beyond their deserts. For quar rels give us oil; but give us taffy every day, all we deserve, much more than we deserve. Don't be over conscien tious about it; let it be full and abun dant and very sweet; sweet with e miles and love and laughter. Give it to your father, your mother, your husband, your wife, your brother, Bister, child, friend, How your child loves it ! So do you. More, give us more taffy.

One thins? we have learned thajhe farmer, to make ft success of his business. must raise' his -supplies at home. Ko farmer who buy? his corn, flour and bjeat can never succeed In 'makiug fanning profitable. The experience and observation of every reader we believe will bear us oat in this assertion. It may figure out on paper that tobacco and cot ton are so much more profitable crops than corn and meat, that it will pay better to raise the crops and but corn and meat, hot this is one instance in which figures lie. It is a shame that a county like Nash which can produce in such abundance everything needed in the way of rupphes should import these things, and yet meat and corn are brought in by the carloads. We beg the farmers of Naah to no linger persue this ruinous system. Make abundance of evety thing to eat, both for &)ur families and your stock, and theo, and not until then, make what market crop you can. A man Is not a farmer who does not do this. He may be a to bacco grower or a cotton ' planter, but he is not a farmer unless he makes his own supplies.

' ' '"' provided it was not a case where sccr.C other person had been tampering with . - '- the will of the horse before I had taken him in hand. It is another- method of . ' ' - - -diverting the bxwiaitttOBai ; Whenever a horse driven by myself . has balked I have got out of my carriage and gone to his fore foot, lifted it from ' " ; the ground and struck the shoe a few ,-' ..- short blows with a e tone or with a , " wrench (which I always carry in my ' carriage). I have never failed to start a howein thatvery simple way, and " I have on several occasions had balky - . -horses which exhausted the patiehoL - of all former owners.- - I have undertaken to start balky : ' horses, being handled by others after- " other methods of starting them had ! failed. I request the ' driver generallY ' to move, out of the way, that his voice or presence may not be recognized b'y ' : the horse. I then first inform the ani- 1 mal, by patting him and talking to him, that there is a new man at the helm, thereby diverting his attention. As soon as he begins to give his attention I take up his foot and tap it a few times, and never failed except in one instance to start the horse. And that exceptional case was one where the horse was over loaded and knew it. The very worst method of attempting to start a balky horse, according my experience and observation, is that of pulling the head of the animal by the bit, and it is a method almost universal ly adopted by the inexperienced users of the horse. The stubbornness of the horse is only increased by that method. I offer this suggestion in the interest tf our cause. J. A. Titus in Our Dumb Animals. i Why the Difference?

If the farmers are op pressed by extortioners they are then driven' into the blavery of mortgaging,. We think money is FAB TOO HIGH IN NORTH CAROLI NA. We do not mean to say that 6 or 8 per cent, is to high. By no mean?. We -mean t- say that it U hard for farmers, to pay 20 to 50 or 80 per ceut. for nripplies above cash-valuation, when money, in England U not more than 3 or 4 per cent:, and in the North not more Jhan 4 or 5; per cent.: Something ought to be done to cheapen money to enable farmer to borrow . at not more than 6, 8 or 10 per cent. They cannot stand more than 8 per cent, probably. ' With cash obtain ed at 8 per cent, they, could buy supplies at that Interest whereas now they pay 20 to 60 per. cent, up on an average.

Tobacco Plant A correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger w.itee that paper from Pitts burg, Pa,, that millions of money there is. seeking loan and investment at "three and four per cent, with few takers. Down South here we have to pay from eight to twelve per cent, with the very best security, and money scarce at that. Why this difference? Whose fault is it that money is so scorce at tho South, while as plentiful as can be at the North? Is it our own fault. A good deal of this money represents the bacon, flour, meal, hay and other products of Northern farmers as well as of Northern factories that we at the South have con sumed instead of producing them at home, and keeping here the money we get from the North for our tattle we sell them. y This will continue to be the way of it as long as we keep our smoke houses, corn cribs and hay ricks at the North and West We have nobody to blame for this state of affairs so much as our selves. If there is ever to be a change for the better with us in this respect we have got to bring it about ourselves.
