j4i, American people tna
we have entered upon the muuv,..
of another century of Constitutiona
liberty. It is a fitting time, as well
a wise thing to do, to pause and
reflect upon some of the dangers that
threaten that great instrument of
human rights and bulwark of our
liberties. It is apparent that it is now
menaced by the turbulent and in
sane restlessness of the hoards of po
litical Goths and Vandala who are
pouring into this country from Eu
rope by tie millions, and are seeking
to engraft their pestiferous and loath
some issues of every political kind
, upon American institutions. It is
high time to cry a "halt.',
I There is force and truth in the de
claration of a recent writer that we
have too many German" Ameri-
a MT-Jak" Americana who are
CUlio nuu -
German or Irish first and American
only as a means to an end. We
should lay down the broad and in
flexible priuciple and rule that the
moment a man puta his foot on Amer
ican toil he must cease to be German
or Irish and if he becou.es natural
ized he must burn his political ship
and become heart and soul wie of us
a rrmrifnti tn the core. The re-
verse is the case now, and it is all
prejudicial and inimical to American
nationality and must ne remeuieu
As a people we are not willing

trnm of all the cranks oi Europe and

too noisome and offensive and begin
to threaten, as they alt do, the very
foundations of our civil and religious
liberty as well as our lives and pro

FULL BLOOD AND THOROUGH
BRED. A correspondent requests us to ex
' plain the difference between the term
Full Blood and Thoroughbred as ap
plied to stock. In popular language
they are synonymous. But when
used in reference to borses there is a
well defined difference between them
f4ome writers seek to tstablish a dif
ference also when thev are used
-in
relation to sheep, and in this way :
A full blood is one in whose veins
there is no admixture or stain of any
other blood but the Spanish, while a
thoroughbred is all that and some'
thing more. A sheep may be a ful
blood, nure blood would be a better
term, and yet be so deficient in form
or fleece'as to be unfit for a breeder
But a thoroughbred is the outcome
of a long line of ancestors, which, be
guinning with pure blood, have been
so consummately moulded by man to
a special purpose, that this last and
fiuished product, so to speak, is in
capable of begetting or bearing
progeny different from itself.
All lions, all tigers, all animals in
a state of nature are full bloods
pure-bloods, average type of thei
respective races, but nit all of them
are thoroughbreds ; that is, not all o
'hem are so even in their qualities
-"Jl So sound in their constitution as
to be able to produce progeny up to
the level of the race standard. They
are weeded out by natural selection ;
they are ill-formed or weak or lack
ing in cunning, and they perish in
the struggle of life, leaving the best
individual behind to perpetuate the
race. Under a state of domestication
in which man seeks to preserve all
the individuals, good or poor, he
must himself conduct this selection
of his breeders.
Congress should pass laws and es
tablish regulations that will prevent
the coming to our shores of disrepu
table and undesirable persons, whose
pretence here would threaten good
government, disturb the peace and
order, and depreciate the dignity
and rewards of honest labor. Anar
chists, common hits, polygamists, pau
pers, fugitives from justice, and in
sane, vicious and criminal persons
should be vigorously excluded.
The continued -'pernicious activity"
of Demopratic Federal officeholders
is the surest indication cf the posi
tion of the Administration on the
subject .of Civil Servico reform

the vre&ith and intelligence, and,
from what I hear, they are on the
eve of conti oiling the state through
the changes going on in Western
North Carolina among the white
people. The vital questions seem to
be altogether local, and grow oat of
a system of controlling the counties
hxough the Legislature instead of by
the people, which is both novel and
despotic In this way the stock law
has een imposed on the people
against their will, and great abuse
bave crept into the management of
county affairs, for which there is no
remedy except through a political
revolution that will give the legisla
ture to the Republicans. Everv coun
ty In the State is disturbed through
this system, and the le bell ion is
grdwing strong against it ' One of
the most intelligent gentlemen I
have met has undertaken to give me
the situation in this congressiona
district the Ninth. He is a business
man from the central part of the State
a strong Democrat, and has some
honorary connection with the state
administration. I will give our con
versation as near as I can recall it.
How do you think North Caro-
olina will go next year?
1 must contess that the result is
very doubtful. If the people were
to vote to-morrow I think it would
go Republican by a large majority.

the people are fast becoming Repub
licans. They changed last year to
such an extent that we nearly lost
the. state ticket and the Legislature.
And if the Republicans had not been
soid out by some of their own leaders
tney would have swept everything.
We are hoping yet for a continuance
oi the treachery in their own camp
to save us again.

weakness?"
"It grows out of the promises our
leaders have made whieh they can
not fin! fill. For instance, our candi

kept up the cry that as soon as the
Democrats got all the offices the
revenue laws would be repealed.
They got in, and even in face of the
fact that the Government does not
need the taxes now, a Democratic
Congress flatly refuses t' repeal the
revenue laws. Then there is no

Turnips an a Grecu Manure

Pras.
Tht suggestion to utilize turnips as
a green manure crop is' seen with in
creasing frequency in cur ajmcuitur
al exchanges. It is a good one. Tu
mps can be sown in Spring to be
1 i r
turned unatr in June, or as late as
August to be turned under in Au
tumu. The long tap root brings up
much iertihly from below and stores
i n ;he thick, fleshy root near tbe
suifaee : the broad leaves shade the
ground the seed U cheap, and ex
perience has proved what one would
naturally conclude from a study of
the question that round turnips make
a first-rate crope to turn under for
manure.

This new and splendidly illustrated vol

early life, and of his ' rescue' from a drunk
ard s grave, and liow tins or.ee wretcneu
and despise sot becs.mc one ot the most la
nious men of our time. For seven ycars
he stood amid the horrors of delirium tre
mens, an abject lave to the bottle, and his
condition aud wretched apperarance were
such as to cause people to exclaim, "There
is the man who has been in hell I lhe
rich and poor, tee high, the low, the
learned a4id the unlearned, have been
alike thrilled and moved by his burning
words. He swayed brilliant audiences ol
royalty and 1'ashion ; spoke in state prisons
jails, poor hou.-es, penitentiaries,, reform
schools and houses of correction : o tne
deaf, and dumb, and blind ; to audiences
composed, wholly of outcasts ; and to audi
encts numbering thousands of children
At his feet more than ten million l eophj
sat anu listened admiration and wonder.
In his library may be seen a set of large
volumes- a tar better memorial of his lile
and labois than ;niy monument of marble
or bronze containing the original signa
tures of one hundred and tit ty thousand
men and women who were induced to sign
the pledge through his personal efforts.
Th?se names many of them tear-bedewed
and written with trembling hand repre
sents stories of happiness and woe, of ruin
and remorse, of blighted hopes and wa-ted
lives, of battlea fought and victory won.
To gi7e some of these thrilling life his
tories : to depict scenes of joy and sadness;
to iifl the curtain of life's stage and shout
its tragedy and comedy ; and to draw
living truths lrorn the lessons thus
taught, and bi ing them home to every
heart, is the prime object of this volume.
It also contains the hinU.ry of Mr.
Cough's life and career, from the cradle to
the grave, and the story of Ins death told

editor and divine,

story after t-tory, and underneath them ail
