Wi are (acl to note the entry Of the Graham Gleaner on its fourteenth volume. I is a sterling Democratic paper. M$y it are long and prosper. oolteacher for J anuary . contains articles by Prof. E. Alexan der, Sttpt. ft C. Branson, Maj. Robt. ; Bingham ad others. Wm. A. Blair, leditor'and proprietor, Winston. Ex Gov. DuBTiN, of Pennsylvania, .thinks it wl be the same old ticket ' ' Blaine and Cleveland. Certainly he is i right in easing the Democratic na tional convention will be a unit for -our preaelt patriotic executive, ! ! and certainEy he is right in saying - that Cleveland will be elected. He , 'says fur the "The Republicans, of 9 course,' willgtry to make the President i out a free tlader. But he is simply a . tariff reformer. If any one could see . the difference that has been made in the price ot steel because the duty : has been rejluced it would certainly i convert hint to the principles of tariff reduction.,! Steel was once very high, j ' and now it fa down to a price per ton ( that makes ;it reasonable." And this from a l'ensylvanian! The reason , ableness, the necessity, the urgency of tariff i efrm must be apparent to ' every honest and unbiassed mind. HO LAjlD VS. COTTOJI SEED. ' Whenevef a set of men have an axe . to grind nw they run to Congress. ' ' The powerf of Congress are limited , tj securing! certain national objects of a strictly governmental character, 1 but the fashion is growing for the interferenc of Congress to be in ; ! ' voked whenever one's business falls into a decline and protection is need ed. The lteet phase of this mania is well set ct-it in the following extract . from an editorial in the New York ' , World: I - " "The Selgtte committee on agricul ture is giving hearings to individuals interested ro and con in the pro pooed law tfgainst the adalteration Of lard. The advocates of the measure ' are endeavoring to induce Congress to repeat it erjor last year in laying a heavy taxf on a valuable food pro- - duct, i Their motive is not to protect ;' the public Against unwholesome lard, ' but to increase the price of what they ' themselvesjhave to sell. Cotton seed oil is as clan as hog fat. The mix ture of the; two in the shape of lard I ansv era th same purpose that the animal proqjuct alone does. The con ; Burners find no fault with it and the manufacturers maJie no secretof its use. . The use of f olive oil as a food might as well bep prohibited iu Italy arid j Spain as cltton seed oil legislated ' . against infthe United States. In I either case there would be a sense- - - less rejecion of the bounties of i Providencef ' In this the World is right. Indeed . the people inay be let alone to accept or reject anew article of food, for traditional rejudices about food are ! strong andfaew products will not be 1 introducedinto consumption unless J they W a tfaed. , ; "There is It strong prejudice against - oleomargarine, and yet, for those who like it, it Serves an admirable pur f pose; beinglcheap, good and valuable f to those wEo cannot afford dairy but- Jf But cotfpn seed oil stands, altd ,gether on fa different footing from ; oleomargaine. We rather think it is, ; (in the akhmy of nature, far superior to hog fat lor culinary purposes. It Is is stated infthe "Medical Classics," of New fork for December last, that . some time go the Baltimore Grocers' ' Exchange Appointed a committee to 1 investigate! the eotton seed oil and they repor&d its "great superiority in eery refpect over lard for cooking purposes. IThe oil is cleaner, does ' not become! rancid in any season, is ' more neairay ana numuous, is en- tirely free fjrom any unpleasant taste or odor, ges over one-half further in cooking nd costs less in the pro ; portion of seven to twelve." 1 There aiga millions of people to whom a pue, cheap, good substitute for hOg lar would be a blessing. We do nt countenance any adul , teration, bit neither do we counte 1 nance any ar on this Southern pro duct whicij -is now making its way ' into the mat ket as a healthy food, sup- . plying a ned which every humanita rian snouldwish to see supplied. Nor do look with favor on any ' effort to chick the demand for this Southern ploduct. ( The manufactured products of the j cotton seedire now a source of profit to the coungry at large and especially to the-So.ut$. . It is estimated that, from a cropfof G,0ti0,000 bales, after reserving aj the seed necessary for planting, titp gross value of the pro ducts of the cotton seed oil mill is ,233 and the excess of value product over tne cost ot seea ,79G,9G3gVA-b the demand for seed make oil f ncVases the market price seed larc&lv. cvr boutnern farmers ore interested tuM no unfavorable legislation hall be adopted. We want to see the manufacture of this oil largely increased, and mills spring up fnear the plantations all over the Seuth making , the oil and "producing .Ihe cotton seed meal, which is sof-aluable as food for stock and as a fertilizer, being far superior to the unground cotton seed in both respeots. Taking tis view of the subject, while in nowise advocating any food adulteration, we submit to our South ern Reprentatives in Congress whether thfy had not better go slow Da advancing legislation whoso effect will bo harmful to their section. As between th hog fat of the Northwest and the clejjn, savory oil of the South, we would stand by the latter all the time So fir as the adulteration is concerned, Ihe States by means of in spection laws and police regulations tan deal safief actorily with that.

THK STATR UfAVX ASVLVH. Eugene Oriesom, in his report as j Superintendent of the North Caro lina Insane Asylum, for the year end ing Nov. 30, 1887, a copy of which w4 have justj received, expresses gratification in being able to say that in-no year of its existence has the In stitution "accomplished more satis factory results in the successful treat ment of its patients and the extent of necessary improvements and re pairs judiciously made upon the building and premises for the sani tary comfort of those entrusted to its care." The tables accompanying the report Show that there has been a larger daily average number of pa tients under treatment than in any previous year of the existence of the institution and j that there is also a larger number remaining within its walls. I The number bow under treatment, including rather more than usual atj home on probation or on trial, amounts to 292. "So it will be sejen" eaya Dr Grissom, "that our means for accommodation have been utilized betond what has heretofore been considered expedient or safe; two hundred and fifty having origi nally been considered the utmost ca pacity of the institution." The total number of admissions since the Opening of the Asylum, February 22d, 1856, amounts to 1,892. Of these 1,043 have been males and 849 females. The total number of discharges for the same time is 1,600, of which 897 were males and 703 fepales. Of those discharged 503 were considered cured, 260 much im proved, 3135 unimproved and 501 died. jThere are now under treatment, including hose on probation, as be fojre stated, j.46 males and 146 females, making a total of 292, and the Superintendent says: "Beyond this number it bill scarcely be possi ble to go in our admissions. At the beginning of the year we had in charge 248, and upon this basis our appropriation was made, with the as surance on our; part that we would increase the number if possible. The daily average of 273 shows how well we have redeemed this promise." The admissions during this year have been 74 in number and the discharges 3fl(. The whole'number treated dur ing the year 322. There have been sent home cured 17, improved 2, un improved 2, and not insane 1. The greatest number under treatment at any one time, including those on pro bation, was, on the 29 th of Novem ber, 1887, ted It amounted to 292. The smallest number was on the 1st of December, 1886, and amounted to 218. The daily average number was nearly 274. . IThe number of deaths during the year was remarkably small, amount ing to 8 only; a percentage of less than 2 of the whole number treated and "a vindication," Dr. Grissom thnks, "of the propriety of the ex penditures of the Asylum authorities for sanitary purposes." Jin general terms it is stated that "the institution in all its departments is in a better condition for the health, care and cure of its inmates than it has been in twenty years," and the total dailjper jpapita expense of the institution for the past year for every thing, except improvements and re pairs, has been, it appears, but 51 cents including all repairs 64 J cents. I I Dr. Grissom pays a very just trib ute to Dr. F. T. Fuller, First Assist ant Physician Of the institution, who now lies ill to the great concern of a host of friends throughout the State, when he says the gentleman referred to "whose faithful services in the in stitution .extend through a period of over thirty years," ''has entitled him self to the gratitude of the people of the State by his fidelity and useful ness." Many will join him in the hdpe he expresses that "time and rett will restore hjm to the position he has filled so long, so faithfully and so efficiently.' Dr. Grissom also refers in eloquent terms to the services in behalf of hu man eharity of Miss Dorothea L. Dix, whose death has recently been announced, to whom North Carolina owes in great measure the first move ment in behalf of the insane of the State and in whose honor the emi- 1 nence on wnicn tne asylum nere stands is named. i He says well that "for more than half a century she stood in the van guard of humanity, working valiant ly and unceasingly for stricken iu sane. Difficulty never stopped her, opposition never daunted her, refusal never subdued her, pleasure never tempted her, ease never lured her, fame never attracted her. Her objects were the wretched insane her field was the world-j-her thought the re lief of the Buffering her success was their redemption, and her crown shall be the gift of Him like whom she "went about doing good.' " Dr. Grissom makes no suggestion as to the public1 necessity in regard to further provision for the insane by an increase of accommodations to meet the unfortunate increase of this disease in the 1 State. He says very appropriately that "these questions may well be relegated to the Legisla ture of the State, when it shall assem ble. With that body lies all the re- Sonsibility, involved in their high legated powers, and upon it we are dependent for the means of accom plishing the great good which the public necessity requires." We trust the confidence thus im plied will never prove to have been misplaced. That the report an a whole shows the continued excellence of Dr. Gris som, in hit own administration and in his choice of subordinates, it is hardly necessary to say. His eminent fitness for the position he hoi do is so well known in North Carolina and o gen erally conceded that it has become a household word. In the country at large he stands among the first alien ists of the day. Gov. Hill, of New York, is a mighty good man, a thorough Demo crat, and weighs much, but his influ ence in the scale as against Cleveland for the nomination is as nothing. Rarely, if ever, in the Listory of the country has there been such general and willing acquiescence in a candi dacy for the office of President as in the caBe of Mr. Cleveland. And the reason is that our Democratic execu tive fits the ment'J requirements of J this great and patriotic and progress- I ivA onlafor tL rJaoe like thr ' Mr, Cabl and lha Crla. Cor. of th News and Obwrer. And now tie author of "Old Creole pays," and the "Grandissimes," tiring !erhaps of the adulation of eastern ecture rooms, and his Northern Bible Class, taught so effectively before a multitude of admiring eyes, will ance more wing his way to the Sunny South to bark iu the smiles of his quondam coun'ryman the Creole. , What welcome he will receive M Us rather imagine than predict; wLut motive brings him hither, diligently consider ; Has the old cry, "Curse m- this Seople," broken out afresh at the forth, and does Mr. Cable come seeking new material with which to gratify itt Have not the appetites of all such epicures yet been satisfied with the tempting fare set before them by Mrs. Stowe, Tourgee, and this same Cable, in the past! Nay, so long as this black Baal hangs like a millstone" about our necks, his vota ries will keep the demand ringing and false .prophets will not be want ing io do their bidding. What motive any man who calls himself a native of Louisiana, and as auch gives authenticity to his Creole portraitures, can have for falsely painting the State and people bo black, any reader of "The Grandissimes", will surely ask, and in Mr. Cable's popularity at the North, as well as his. prosperity, lies the answer. According to the Philadelphia TiiMs "the chief merit of Mr. Cable's books is derived from their being so minute and faithful a description a peculiar people in the United States, with whom we are so little acquainted, and to which the author himself belongs." I am afraid that none of these Creoles whom he has painted so truthf ully(?) as little better than the Yahoos in Gulliver's Travels, will ever clasp Mr Cable with the true spirit of brotherly love to his bosom, or rise up and call him blessed. But Mr. Cable is not a true son of the soil, and the mere accident of his having been bom of Northern parents in New Orleans, gives him no right to speak, as he does, in the name of Louisiana, or, indeed, of the whole South. ; The Chicago Inter-Ocean bewails the lament able hostile spirit shown by the Creoles toward Mr. Cable, "who has done as much for New Orleans as Dickens did for London and mote for tne boutti tnan any. Other writer of fiction. Notoriety, such as the Black Hole of Calcutta need not envy he may have given Us, fame never. New Orleans he has characterized as a picturesque, but vile and "hybrid city;" and not con tent with spreading hi descriptions of its gloomy marshes, and ghostly, moss draped trees tl rough the medi um of his novels, he must needs write up for a recently published encyclo pedia, an account of the State and city that would frighten away the Wandering Jew, and that the oldest inhabitant of the section would fail to recognize. f The Creoles, so famous for grace and beauty that the Empress Jose phine often boasted of being a "cri ola," and whose women distinguished men of all nations have sought in marriage; this people, famed for ele gance and refinement, ho has branded With ignominious origin, and put upon their lips a heathenish patois and jargon, which when quoted or read before them they cannot trans late or comprehend. Referring to the early Southern settlers, he speaks of 'the "Gallic recklessness with which they chose their wives, from all Sades of all colors," thus gratui usly insulting in the same breath two nations ! What manner of man is this, that he should hope to win from us a wel come, after such words as these ? It is an impression common among people neither widely read nor highly educated, that the Creole race sprang from a mixture of white, black, native and foreign elements, and all such accept Mr. Cable's account of them as gospel truth. The word Creole really means a child of European parentage born upon foreign soil, and New Or leans, originally settled from France, contains much ol the cream of Paris ian society. Of this society Mr. Cable probably knew little. Strangers visiting the Crescent City will near Lorn ladies whose faces and manners recall the portraits and characters of "The Grandissimes" that Cable "knew little of the Creoles, because he had no Creole acquaintances," and men With the Creole eyes that he has made so famous, will aver with true Creole emphasis that he "lies like the very arch fiend " ' A party of Northern gentlemen were walking about in the streets of New Orleans the other day, when one of them, having been shown the houses made famous in his stories, expressed a wish to see his own place Of residence. Their guide, a courte ous gentleman of Creole antecedents, conducted them, without a word, to onfi of tVin wnrsfc and narrnwpHt streets, and stopping in front Of three slovenly-kept, rickety shanties, said, with a Bmile, "I am not sure which of these was Mr. Cable's place of residence." The Comment. "This is irony," made even the Creole laugh. Was Mr. Cable then, like Judge Tourgee, an exile, and a carpet bag ger, during his stay among us? Aad has he begun a second pilgrimaga South, to thicken the plot for a new revenge upon our inhospitality? The truly wise, who hope f or the healing of the great civil breach, will let Mr. Cable's books as well as Tourgee's and Mrs. Stowe's, lie neg lected upon the publishers' shelves, and seek elsewhere for a true account of the Creoles of History, leaving him to paint as darkly as be may the Creoles of Romance.
