uiertland on Cabinet Making.
The Phila. Press, says A special
dispatch to the Albany Journal from
New York states, as one of the political
rumors following upon the official count
that Rosco Conkling is booked for Sec
retary of State in Cleveland's cabinet,
and that this appointment will be the
only recognition the bolting Republi
cans will receive at the hands of the ad
ministration. Gov. Cleveland's atten
tion being called to the statement, said
that this was the first he had heard of
JAi". Conkling'siaving been selected for
the place named, k' I should think," he
remarked, " that they would have con
sulted me before deciding that matter."

sibilities of the Chief Magistracy of the
country, and, it may be, is devising me
thods for his proceedure, and selecting
agents to assist him. But it would on

purposes before the time, and so he per
mits nothing on these subjects to escape
his lips. He is right.
Burning Corn in Nebraska.
Farmers in many parts of Nebraska
are burning corn lor fuel. They have
figured the matter out to their own
satisfaction and are confident that it is
cheaper to burn corn than it is to sell
it and buy coal. Soft coal is worth in
that State about 22 cents a bushel and
corn does not find a ready sale in the
rural markets tor more than 12 cents.
Experiments have shown that two bush
els of corn will produce more warmth
than one bushel of coal, and farmers
are thus burning the former and saving
themselves the trouble of hauling it to
market and drawing the coal as a back
load. Chicago Herald.
There is nothing in this to encourage
a North Carolinian to go to Nebraska.
He can't raise as much corn here as he
might there, but one bushel in North
Carolina is worth from four to eight
times as much as it is there.

U. S. Marshals antl a Free Ballot,
Mr. Foilt'tt, f Ohio, has introduced a
it-solution in. the House to investigate
the conduct of a United States marshal
in his State. It is known that the maiv
shals behaved most shamefully in Cincin
nati and that citizens were actually shot
down and killed. '1 ho hearing of the
marshals was such that people were in-
himidated am) for the purpose of preven
ting a fair election. The matter ought
to be inquired into and then the Con
gress out to wipe out 1 lie infernal system
that lias been used to abuse and brow
beat Democratic electors and to help
fasten upon the country the most de
structive rule. There is nothing repub
lican or democrat ic in rucIi a system. It
is a disgrace to our boasted civilization
and to any free government. Let justice
lie done though the heavens fall. Let a
close scrutiny be had, and hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they may.
Let all Federal intervention in elections
have a speedy end, and let the last of
me rascals uc turned out anil be kept
out.
The Washington Post takes the right
"It is for the ascertainment of facts
that the investigation is ordered. It is
in the interest of peace, justice and lib
erty that it should be prosecuted.
"Federal interference with the machin
ery or local elections has been produc
tive of mischief only, from the outset.
It originated in a spirit of sectional par
tisanship and has been exercised for
scctioually partisan ends--nothing else.
If it has been more insolent or arbitrary
or iudeceut at one time or in one place
than another, it has been no less odious
in its nature no less subversive of free
suffrage iu its operation."
The country demands a free ballot. It
does not exist in many sections in the

An Interview With Cleveland.
Wilmington Review.
Mr. Thomas V. Strange, after an ab
sence of about ten days on a trip to the
North, arrived here Tuesday morning.
During his abseuce he made a flying vis
it to Albany, where he had the pleasure
of meeting with President-elect Cleveland.
Mr. Strange was un earnest advocate of
Mr. Cleveland's nomination for the Pres
idency at the National Convention, and
worked faithfully to secure his election
after he was nominated, aud that having
been accomplished, he had a strong desire
to see the man for whom his labor and
vote had been giveu. Mr. Strange returns
with very pleasant memories of his short
interview with the President-elect. In
the course of the conversation President
Cleveland stated that he desired to visit
the South, and would do so before long if
he could. The President spoke of the
great importance to the country of the
election, aud stated that it would proba
bly give the Democracy a lease of power
for many years.
Our Swamp Lands.
CAN THEY. BE EEVLA1MLD BY
. COS VICT LABOR?
If so, welt Have More Corn and More
Schools, and Show More SAW Than our
Fathers.
From the Raleigh C hronicle.
I see it is stated that several thousand
acres of swamp land in Eastern Carolina
have recently draiued by cutting a canal.
If the statement is true, 1 wish to ask if
it would uot be a good policy for the
next General Assembly to provide for
the draining of the lands owned by the
State Board of Education by means of
convict labor f The railrdad system of
the West has been completed by convict
labor, and would it not be just to the
East to have its fertile corn lands reclaim
ed by the same means f
If these swamp lands of the State
Board of Education can be successfully
drnined, they can be sold for a handsome
sum j and ifthia is done, we will not be
left dependent on the "Blair Bill" and
county apportionments, but cau make a
creditable apportionment from our State
funds for the public schools of the State.
Not only this, but the purchasers of these.
lands would iu future pay a round sum
in State and county taxes on property
which has yielded nothiug iu the way of
reveuaejn tho past
I know that immense suras have been
expended in efforts to reclaim these
lauds, but 1 wish to ask the practical aud
progressive young men of the East if
they have not some plans to suggest for
the successful draining of the "Egypt of
Carolina t"
Seeming impossibilities have been over
come in the construction of our Western
railioads, and it remains to be seen what
engineering skill can do towards the de

It is safe to say here that, so f ar as an
ofhcial example will be set at the White

less pretentious, less hypocritical and
more republican in its tastes and conduct.
W heather President Cleveland wiU

gundy like Arthur, is of little conse
quence, but there is arprofound convic
? Washington that there will not
be a horde ot contractors, spelcuators,
lobbyists and jobbers in the White
House to-help him drink it. The whole
character and conduct of the man in

he will restore to the President's offi

Washington Letter.
From On r Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 0, 1334.
Tho first week in Congress has been
passed iu comparative ieaee. The House
and Senate assembled in the bright dou
ble daw u of a perfect Monday morning
and an approaching Democratic adminis
tration. The President's valedictorv mes
sage was received and read with the
usual foriuallities. The tariff which it
was said might not, could, would, and
should not come up this winter, "bobbed
up serenely" on the first day of the ses
sion, and it is more than probable that it
will bob up again and again during the
pieM.MiL session. The most prominent
question in American politics Uwhiv is I
how to deal with the mi ml us revenues.
and th;s question caunot be treated with
out stepping on the very sensitive toes of
tariff. The revenues of the government
exceed the expenditures by more than
one hundred millions annually. This is
simple enough. What shall be done with
this surplus this dead capital? Ah!
there's the rub. Some sav : build navies.
deepen harbors, dig d tches. Others sav :
apply it to the extinction of the national
debt. A school of homeopathic states
men (and they are not so bad either) wish
to cheapen postage and patents, and im
prove mail facilities. A school of aJJo
blankets, free sugar, and free raw mate
rial. A dangerous quack and charlatan
proposes the unconstitutional remedy of
distributing the "root of all evil" among
the Mate governments. Mr. Hurd and
Mr. Hewitt are anxious to do something
this session. Mr. Carlisle is of opinion
that nothiug can be accomplished in the
sixty-three working days that remain to
the present Congress. But sooner or la
ter something must aud will be done.
The supreme question of the times con
not be evaded by Congress forever.
Mr. Blaine arrived in the city yester
day with his family and drove to the ele
gant house he has rented from ex Senator
Windoiu. It is said he will resume work
on his alleged history. The candidate
looks quite as well as when he left the
city last Juue, 1 mean his health appears
to be as good as then, but the cyclonic
agitation of his vaulting ambitious life
have given him a ruined, demonical
sort of an expression. Gen. Logan
looks that way too, but he is used to
it, aud is not as much cast down as he
appeared to be seven years ago when the
great Western independent party Judge
David Davis beat him iu the race for the
Senate.
The Democratic party members and
Senators are brimful of happiness, but
they carry their joy more decorously than
many expected, only a few of them slop
over.
It is on the Washington government
clerk that the pall of defeat lias settled
like a wet blanket. It may be seen iu
the "dejected havior of his visage," iu
his heavy gait, in his voice from which
the dehant note has departed. He would
be an object of pity if he were more man
and patiiot and less a soulless pnrtizau
aud heartless mercenary. It is impossi
ble to have compassion ou the thieves
who stole the presidency iu 1876, or on
their dependents who have oaten the
bread of theft so long.
There is much talk about the inaugu
ration, and the dedication of the Wash
ington mouumeuc. Admiral Dupont's
monument will also be dedicated this
winter. Monuments bid fair to be the
principal industry of the capital city, aud
the next census will show a wonderful
increase of bronzed Generals, Admirals,
horses, etc. Several more statues are
under way, and it is a curious fact that
uot half of the residents of Washington
kuow who half of the statues are for.
Lincoln, Washington aud General Scott
have two apiece, and a small squadron ot
generals of the late war have equestrian
statues. We are the strongest and least
warlike of all the nations of the earth,
and yet we have a larger number of mon
uments to war than France or Germany.
There is a strong inclination among
Democrats to retain to the simplicity of
the fathers in the inauguration of the
President-elect. Thomas Jefferson be
strode his good horse and rode alone to
the capitol, tied his horse to a post and
went iu aud took the oath of office. Mr.
Cleveland might do the same thing. The
post has been removed, but he could get
a colored citizen to hold tho horse for
five cents.
Completed After SO Years.
Hie Capstone of the Washington Monu
ment Laid and the Work of Many
Year's Finished.
Washington, Dec. C. The long ex
pected completion of the Washington
monument wns accomplished this after
noon by setting iu place the marble cap
stone aud its pyramidal apex of alumi
num. Tho ceremonies were few and
simple, an- elaborate celcbratiou of the
ereut being reserved for Washington's
birth day. Shortly after 2 o'cloek Col.
Thomas L. Casey, government engineer
in charge, aud his assistauts Captain
Davis, U. S. A., aud Bernard It. Green,
civil' engineer, together with master me
chanic, MeLaughliug and several work
men standing on a narrow platform built
around the sloping marble room near the
summit proceeded- to set the capstone,
(weighing 3,300 pounds) which was sus
pended from the quadruped of a heavy
joint supported by a platform and totr
eriug forty feet above them. As soon as
the capstone was set and the American
flag was unfurled overhead a salute of
21 guns was promptly fired by Maj.
Hannemans, militia battery iu White
House grounds far below. The souud of
cheers also came up faintly from the
crowd of spectators gathered around the
base of the monument, while numbers of
invited guests on tlje 500 foot platform
and in the interior of the monument at
that level spontaneously struck up "Star
Spangled Ban uer" and other pat riotic
songs. The steady downpour of rain
had given place a little previously to a
brisk gale of wind at this elevation
(blowiug at about 50 miles an hour) and
very few of the invited guests cared to
avail themselves of the privilege of
climbing the nearly perpendicular lad
der from the 500 foot platform to the
dizzy heigth of 533 feet from which three
or lour jourualists and a half dozen other
adventurous climbers witnessed the sct
ttng of the capstone and subsequently
ascended to the pinnacle. Meanwhile
the Washington Monument Society re
presented by Dr Jos M Toner, Hon Herjfc-
tio Bing, (Win McKee Dunn, Dr
Daniel H C aud T L Harvey, secre
tary, held aeeting the elevator
platform at height of 500 feet, and
when the a cry firing announced the
setting of tlungtone adopted a resolu
tion offered iCen. Dunn, "congratula
ting the Aunjtn people ou the comple
tion of this Turing monument of our
nation's graide to the father of his
country."
Among tlr present today nt the

ner stone of
i hanics who laid the cor
t monument 36 years ago,
d an old Wchinan of the monument
who has bceiifcontiuuously employed iu
that capacity bring nearly the whole of
tho interveuiij period.
The flag oir the monument floated
(and will retain fr several days nntil
the timbers a I all removed) from a flag
stall', the top f which is exactly GOO feet
from the grand, thus displaying the
American coles at the greatest height of
construction ever yet kuown in the
world. Tho nonument itself, with its

on the face: "Chief Engineer and archi

THE METHODIST CENTENARY.
Fonr Million Members and 23,000
Churches.
TJte Prodiyous Growth of the Denomina
tion, Which will be lie vie wed at the Ap
proach iny Celebration .
Raleigh Clironicle.
In the year 1878 the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcapal Church South,
then in session nt Atlanta, Ga., called
attention in a series of resolutions to the
fact that American Methodism was or
ganizL-d in Baltimore in December, 1764,
aud made arrangements for calling a
Centeuuial Conference at that place about
Christmas, 1884. Subsequent conferences,
both North and South, have completed
those arrangements, and from the 0th to
the 17th iust., the Convention will be held
in Baltimore, iu tho Mount Vernou Place
Church, corner of Charles aud Monument
streets.
The wonderful growth of Methodism,
which, though started iu England aud
Ireland by the Wesleys, was immediately
transplanted to America, has been as phe
nomenal as the growth of the American
nation itself. It has beeu called a pecu
liarly American denomination. Its prin
ciples are as broad as the Doxology itself,
and its chief aim is the elevation of indi
vidual character by belief in the great
possibilities for good iu every human
being.
Starting in flic United States with about
sixty chapels in 1764, and membership of
about tweuty thousand in 178(5, just 20
years after the first preaching of the Wes
leys iu England, there arc now in the
United States about four million Meth
odists, with 23,000 churches, and property
worth about $74,000,000. The' whole
Methodist population is estimated at
about twenty five and a half millions,
lis organization is as thorough and effi
cient as that of the Roman Catholic or
Protestant Episcopal Church, and its
mission workers are among the foremost
in both home aud foreign fields.
Mark Twain Visits the Governor.
Albany (N.Y.) Journal.
Mark Twain aud George W. Cable
dined together with the Governor yester
day and made a tour of the Capitol. An
amusing incident occurred in the course
of their travels. They entered tho Adjutant-General's
office to pay their respects
to that official in the afternoon. The Ad
j 11 taut-General was otjj; at the moment,
and the part, which included others than
the distinguished gentlemen named, dis
posed themselves about the office iu easy
positions to await General Farnsworth's
arrival. Mark Twain, with his usual
sangfroid, sat down carelessly ou one of
the General's official tables. The party
were chatting cheerfully and conducting
theinslves when a dozau clerks and depu.
ties of the department came rushing into
the office, aud with unusual vehemence
asked what was wanted. None of the
visiting party seemed to understand the
situation. Au investigation disclosed the
fact that Twain, by accident or design,
had planted himslf squarely on a loag
row of electric buttous aud thus set ring
ing as many call bells.

on a new regime. Ihey are reversing
the order of things and are farming to

ment Mr. John Wadsworth, of our city,
seems to be taking the lead. Two acres
of cotton was all the land he devoted to
that staple this year, but instead he put
down as much of his farm as he could
spare in clover. The result is, that af
ter feeding a large amount of clover to
stock and selling another quantity, he
has made seventy-two bushels of clean
seed, enough to replant all his old clover
land and leave a couple of wagon loads
of seeds for him to sell. His clover crop
cost nothing scarcely and there was 60
