"The farmer trade with natuie
through no middle-man. Nature is
us henest a3 eternity, and she never
fails to meet the jast dues of those
who have claims upon her."
In the city, opportunity to gratify
ambition are more numerous and
greater than in the county. But
opportunity comes only to the man
who makes use of it. For a man
who can do important things and
can do them well, the city will al
ways furnish something worthy to
do. Hence the success of thousands
of men who have gone to tha cities
with their world goods on their
backs and no capital but their brains.
But the great majority of those
who leave the farmer are not of this
type. They have not learned to do
anything well, least of all anything
the people of the cities wants.
Hence the failure of these who go to
the cities without capital of any
kind, cr with capital of other kind
than brains.
Tne great obstacle m the way of
the effective workingman is not or
ganizad capital; it is inefficiancy.
It is the great crowd of those who
can do nothing well, and .whose
presenco causes a general scramble
whenever there is any work to be
done. Capitalists could and would
double the wages of labor if they
were assured of intelligent, effec
tive and loya jmea Brains and heart
are tho servants that a man can
afford to pay for If you cannot
furnish one or the other of these,
there is lo help for you. You can
not hve by the work of your hands.
Lwst of all can you do this is a city,
where competition is severe, and
where three men are struggling for
the chance to do the work of one.
Ttere is no doubt that the con

effect of unwise legislation. We

Womans Exposition of the Carolina.
Ppec''ai Correspondence.
Charlotte. N C.Judp 1. The
opening of tho v omen's Exposition
has marked an epoch in the history
of the Carolinas. One person of
t-bility has aaid that the achieve
ment, of the women has been re
markable. It is at least an assured
fact, that Mecklenburg's women
have given to the Carolinas the best
fair or exposition ever held in the
Piedmont section and have gathered
together rare gems of art, in the fine
urt department. In fact the ezhib
its of every "character far exceed
nnything ever shown in our smaller
expositions. Some have remarked
that greater satisfaction is found in
visiting the affair than in the larger
expositions, where so much is
shown that only a small part of it
can be enjoyed, while in Charlotte
the women have gathered all in so
compact a Bhape that nothing is
missed. '
The S A. L. has granted a rate
of one fare for the round trip from

A rual investigation of the sugar
scandal one that would go to the
bottom of things and not get fright
ened eff when on the track of infor
mation that wonld incriminate Sen
ators would be a good and desira
ble thing to have, bat another fizzle
like tbe laBt one would be worse
than uselets, because it wcnld do
more harm than good. The peo
ple recognize a job of whitewashing
as quickly when it is done by Sena
tors as by humbler wield ers of the
brush. Senator Jones, of Nevada,
who was inferentially charged by
Senator Aldrich with having given
out the sugar schedule before the
tariff bill was reported to the Sen
ate, is Chairman of the Committee
on Contingent Expenses, to which
Senator Tillman's resolution for a
sugar investigation by a committee
of five Senators was referred, and he
says the committee will report the
resolution favorably. That makes it
reasonably certain that the resolu
tion will be adopted, because a num
ber of Senators who wonld like to
vote against it will not dare to do so.
It will all depend upon the forma
tion of the investigating committee
whether it will mean business or a
farce. Senator Tillman will be
Chairman of the Committee. If he
be given four colleagues as fearless
as himcelf, the guilty Senators, if
there be any such, will be brought
to book, and the sugar trust, the
head of which got cleared on that
other indictment will also be shown
up; but if he be given colleagues
who are afraid of their shadows,
nothing will come of the investiga
tion. The Republican Steering Com
mittee in the Senate is slowly but
surely undoing the work of the sub
committee that prepared the amend
ment to the Dingley tariff bill, and
by the time the bill gets through
the Senate, the rate of duties im
posed thereiu will average almost or
quite as high as the Dingley bill.
The tax on tea and the increased
tax on beer are doomed, and we
are likely to have an internal reve
nue tax on bank checks, mortgages,
etc., in their places, unless the Re
publicans get frightened out of the
idea by protests.
Speaker Reed's readiness to re
verse rulings made by him as Speak
er and opinions given by him as au
thority on parliamentary law would
be amusing, if the matter was not
of too serious a nature to be so re?
garded. Whatever standing as an
authority on parliamentary rales
and practice Mr. Reed had previous
to the present session of Congress,
has been lost by his decisions, which
have made it plain that he recogni
zes nothing higher than his own
will in making decisions. Hereto
fore many people who disagreed
with Mr. Reed's parliamentary ru
lings in many particulars have been
willing to give him credit for con
scientious belief in them himself,
bat they are not now. After all,
Mr. Heed is not solely to blame. A
few of the Republican members of
the House could at any time rebuke
the method pursued by Mr. Reed,
by voting with the Democrats, bat
they have not done and are not like
ly to do so, On the contrary, if
Mr Reed should role that Mr.
Chaplain's prayer was oat of order
and a Democrat appeal from the
ruling, the Republicans would al
most to a man vote to sustain the
Speaker. With the Republicans in
the House, it is not a question of
what is right to do, bnt of what
Reed wants them to do. Senator
Morgan was doubtless oat of order
when he made that stirring attack
upon Speaker Reed and the House
on the floor of the Senate, but the
attack was certainly deserved and
Senator Morgan's assertion that the
present methods of the House are
not constitutional is receiving close
attention, and may result in a
ohange.
The selection of Whitelaw Reid

TillDin iftir the Sugar Stock Senators.
Washington Dispatch, May 23.
After a long period of silence,
Senator Tillman, of South Caroli
na, startled the Senate to-day by a
speech no less dramatic in its deliv
ery than sensational in its allega
tions. He preceeded it by present
ing a resolution for the appointment
of a special committee of fivo Sana
tors to investigate charges of specu
lation by Senators while the tnff
bill was beforo the finance- commit
tee. In advocating the resolution
he threw aside the usual conven
tionalities of the Senate, and with a
plainness of speech seldom heard
about the halls of Congress, called
on his associates to investigate the
published cla-gcs of senatorial
speculation, and if found iruo, purge
the Senate of thv'Se who d.bcuched
it. The Senator had publieted ar
ticles read from the desk stating
that Senators hid recently made
large sums of money in speculating
in sugar stock, and in one instance
the name of a Senator was men.

nearly an hour, every line of his
speech being punctuated with in
tense invective.

Oir Homes
A more pleasant thing can not
bo found than a happy and conten

tends tojmake such homes should
be encouraged and fostered. A
home can not be entirely satisfac
tory where the little ones are com
plaining and peevish, as they are
sure to be when they are troubled
with worms. Mrs. Winslow's Ver

wonderful help toward making
homes happy.
