Year, after vear the Democratic Cou- jiv-sineii from North Carolina have aiade efforts to have the intern;;l reve nue system. repoalfd, but tbrrepreseiit itives from the Northern States were not so minded; and iespife their per sistent advocacy, in se.on and out of season, of nieasur.yealciiUiteil to afford our people relief in these matters, the siiystein remaiiied a lasting mouion to of the time when the Republicans put the law on "the staute boo!:. But while the jsy stem remaisis, some thing lias been' done to make it more tolerable. Duly a few years ago tin Kid era I court used lo.be crowded with defendants diagged from their homes oeeause of some 'ailed god infraction of the tobacco laws, and crowds of wit nesses Hocked to the court, from all over the district. " Men 'were arrested for blockading tobacco and infamous spies infested the land, re;idv to swear nvav the libertv of men. We have seen here in Ral eigh hundreds of witnesses detain; d day-after day, while 'cases against al leged '"blockaders were bein. tried, were- and the , miserable informers sneaking around, too contempible to be believed by an honest jury. Hut .gradually our representatives in Congress got the law so m tali tied and changed that these despicable scenes became less common and even; u;V.!y t! e worst .feature of the internal revenue svsfein in regard to the tobacco tax were abolished, and these outrages are no longer committed. For this the people of North Carolina have to thank our North Carolina Democratic Con gressmen and Senators. By their con stant exertions they succeed in having the law so changed that every man who raised tobacco could- sell it like other property. Hut that is not ill: the tax lias oeen greativ reduced, ane tin ring the "present session of Congress it lias been repealed ?o far as the Deni-Ov-ratic House could repeal it. except as to the tax on cigars and cigarettes. The luxury of the rich 'men is still taxed, but those items do not amount to much, and we may say in g"iieral terms that the entire revenue system in regard to tobacco lias been wiped from the statute-' book so far as the Democratic House could enact. If our Democratic representatives had never accomplished anything ' else, for those things they deserve the thanks of 011 entire people. Rememler how a few years back our people were? harassed And annoyed I ecuise of this matter and see tlu 111 to-day free from all cause of irr.tatit 11 and annoyance in regard to it.' Such is one of the. results of Democratic work. Truly ye shall know a tree by its fruits. As the to bacco branch of the internal revenue infamy has thiio been eradicated, let us turn to the other branch, the whiskey part of it. It has been much more difficult to get that part of the inter nal revenue .-system .modified because thej Republican administration said at first that if the law was changed ever so little, there would be no chance to aonyict ahy man no matter how guilty. This idea' was so much repeated that at last it fume to be believed, and al though our roprt's. litatives would argue and appeal f'jr a change in the law, the answer would come back, that it is im possible to change the lav without throwing op?h the doors for every guilty man to walk through But during the present session good work lias been done. Mr. Henderson, Col. Cowles, Tori iJohrison and ethers, but especially thoe three North Caro linians whose nanjes we have mention ed, prsisted and persisted until at length they managed to accomplish something. Let us see what they have done. Mr. Henderson is a member of the House judiciary committee, and he reported a bill on January 2th, loSS, fr.)in that committee t6 amend the in ternal revenue law's (House bill r931.) That bill provided; that; there shall he no minimum iimit to punishment, but in trivial oases the judge may impose such punishment its he thinks proper. It also provided that no warrant should be issued on information and belief unless the oath was made by the col lector or his deputy. That aU war rants shall be returnable in the county where issued, if a judicial officer resi :es therein, otherwise in Mhe nearest county where such an officer resides; and such officer shall have exclusive authority to hoar the preliminary ex amination. That the judges may re move United States commissioners. That the commissioner of the internal L ' i e venue system mav compromise cases and remit lines and penalties. That stills of less capacity than loO gallons. etc.. shall not be Cut up and destroyed. 1 hat whenever it may appear to the judc that the health of the prisoner is endangered, he may make such provis- nut, in tne matter as .may oe proper These are some of 1 he provisions. On rebruary 7th Mr. Henderson called that bill ini and it was passed. Now these provisions strike at the very root of the great 'abuses which make thofrinternal revenue system so odious Hut altnoiigh enr North Carolina niemberj had passed that bill through the House they feared it might fail in the Senate, and so when the bill reduc ing taxes was beings matured they worked unremittingly and secured the engraftment into; that bill of exactly the same provisions. Nor did they stop here, for that bill might also fnil. And so on June 22d when the house was considering H. R. 10,o U), making the appropriations for sundry civil expenses, when the clause was reached making appropriations for fees of U. S. commissioners, &e., Hon. Thomas I). Johnson offered tin amend ment amending it to tne effect that no part of tins mains' should be paid in lees to any commissioner, marshal or clerk for any warrant issued or arrest made, or other fees in prosecution un less the prosecution lias been com menced upon a sworn complaint setting forth the facts constituting the offence and allcdging them to lie within the personal knowledge of affiimt except where the affidavit is mad 3 by the col lector or deputy collector of internal revenue." A sharp debate 'immediately follow ed. Mr. -Johnson explained that he wanted to keep the deputy marshal from harassing the people and making frivolous complaints simply to get the fees. My object, he said, is to prevent frivolous prosecutions brought for the fees alone. He wanted to stop having the people harassed as the' had st long been, that. He wanted to put a stop to Let no warrant be issued unless the party making the oath know the facts personally, he said. After strenuous opposition the amend ment wr as adopted by a vote of (33 to 43. It was. a great victory for Mr. Johnson. It was a most important provision and will have a great effect in stopping those frivolous prosecu tions which have s long been the bane of the jejple ami which have made the. iuterind revenue system so odious to all. It has robbed the system of thp very thing which has harassed the peo ple In this work Mr. Johnson had the cordial co-operation of Henderson and Cowles and other North Carolina Democrat ie members all honor t them. . But that did not. end their efforts. When the Mills bill came up, they of fered amendments repealing the inter nal revenue system outright; which, however, failel. It was on that occa sion that Johnston, remembering that the Republican party at Chicago the ther day declared in favor of abolish ing the lnternalrevenue system rath er than to interfere with protection hoped for so.ne Republican votes. But the Republicans were insincere; they I had put this plank ia their platform r 1 1 e 1 a merety 1:1 nopes or ueceivuig uieis in North Carolina and West Virginia, V irgini 1 a a J l enii?sie. 1 was a mero bid for vQtes:i a miserable, base cri piece ot deception. Onlv thfete Republicans voted for rv . die proj -osition to repeal the internal revenue. i And Mr. Johnson well excbiimed "where is the Republican -party, vhen only three Republicans vote for my proposition?"' Amendments were offered by North Carolina Democrats to repeal the tax on fruit brandy without avail. But yet the bill contained, and they got through, tta provisions first above quo ted, being the same as tlie bill to amend the internal revenue laws passed at the instance of Mr. Henderson on February 7th, 1SSS. : 1 litis we see what our 'Democrats nave at last been iible to accomplish. Tl c tobacco part of the internal ivven- ne systeml waS gradinlly Jightened by them, until At length it has been "vir- uany wipea out ot existence. The House has passed in three diffpr- ent bills a!n amendment to tbphiw w. 1 ng out ilio-ie frivolous proWt ut'tn that so haras.4ed nnd annovl nnr nnr. ple; and it; has passed in two different 0111s tnose. important provisions modi fying the nkcnal revenue law in par ticulars tljat will relieve it of much of its harshness and remove those features which, hate been so oppressive. It re mains with the Republican Senate to say whether the peopleshall have that reuer. stJiir Democratic, mpmhprs lave doije their fuH elnty and the eople should recoirnize in them faith ful servants. How to Can Fruit. &OJIJS TIMELY SUGGESTIONS AND VAI.r ABLE DIRECTIONS. The secret of successful cannin 1 rr Cf veeiaoies is an ODen one. j. n . . and can le possessed by every intelli gent and careful housekeeper. Certain conuiuons oeing insured, lailnre is out of the question. The fruits (and vege tables) must be iiist ripe, fresh v fath ered, andjperfect of their kind. All I germs in; the cans, received by contact with theiir or otherwise, must be ele stroyed by heat, in the forni boiling water, and all germs of microsopie ani-r mal or vegetable lite inf the fruits germs of j fungus growth or of fermen tation ajuust also be destroyed. Then me air must be effectually excluded from thej cans, so that all germs will be kept dut. The surest way ofr secur ing all these cemd.tions is to put the fruit intrj the cans, and after partially sealing them put the cans, into cold water, rdi.se this to a boiling point and keep it tjiere till the contents are suffi iently ctioked, then remove from the water, ser.l tightly, and turn the cms on end. j! If th -y'le ik they are liable to fermentj if they do not leak no air can enter to jcarry the seeds cf fermenta tion intd the can. But tis is slow work where one car ries on tjhe business in the family on a large scajje, and with suitable precau tions on can can two, three. or a dozes: cans at nee, as safely as'one, and wit 11 as good! results. iLve a kettle in. a will hoht at least two cans, nnd a larger i 111 " I ! 1 .

The shorter time consumed in getting tne mm lrom tne tree, or the vegetables from tlie garden into the can. the better.

For ordinary canning prepare the fruit, twip cans at a time, cook it till done then ladle it into the cans, let them stantl for a time with their covers on till they "settle down," fill again with boiling hot fruit or water, ami seal tightly, j In this case, as in the former, cans, covers and rubbers should be im- mersed in boiling water betore the cans. aie fillet. Boiling hot fruit or water may be poured into cans without break ing them if they are first placed on a very wet cup towel and a silver spoon ii put injtheni. (A glass tumbler with a silver teaspoon in it may have boil ing water poured into it without break ins. We mention this here, as every body may not. know it.) A funnel just fitting the mouth of the can,with a very short tube, a very flaring top, is a great convenience, and facilitates rapid work. Any tinman earr mak'e one, and the cost is trifling. There is jiio need of using sugar in can ning fruit. But fruits that need sugar to makejjthein pali table are nicer if it is cooked: into them. It is as well to do this vthen the can is opened as when the fruitjis first put up. We mention this because in canning and preserving time the) price of sugar always goes up, and t will be easier for many fam- dies to sweeten their canned truit as they use it than all at on'e time. The hat we buy in the stores in peaches tin cans ;have no sugar 111 them. it when op'ened they are' turned into a kettle aid sugar cooked into them, then coofed and served, their flavor will be greatly improved, and so of all fruit canned jwiinoui sugar. rveiues. ut granite, jj iron w a r e, porcelai n-li ne J kettles, dew -tin nans or kettles, are' suitable ilfor canning and preserving. The mohJd that often coracs on the top of fruit iu cans when the rest of the frait is iji'niiijured,' has its origin in the germs from the air that settle on the 11ncovertjidcanbefore.it is sealed up. Hence a soon as the jars are filled, the coverr, f fresh from the scalding water, should . it !' . Ti. : bjC put over' them. It is well to j r,iuckcd out the fangs of that dire mon i (filled from the kettle stand 1 Bter intemperance." let cans awhile aiiid settle, then fill full audsea! Bat the covers of cans when the fruit is ccoketl in them are best undisturb ed. I '-r 1 . r Vote for Cleveland, Improving Coitntry Eoads. ; A writer in Waaou Maker, on "thrt abovp subject, concludes that it -ia" woric too little thought of, too negli gently done, and often so misapplied as to make roads worse rather, than better. To see the black, mucky soil on the sides of roadways plowed up and scraped into the center, there to remain an impassable ridge during the summer, finally degenerating into an unfathomable slough of mud the next winter or spring, is enough to discour age the man who kuows how roads should be made, and even force him to regard laziness in working out the road tax one of the excusable sins, if not actually a positive virtue. ," i In our climate, deep freezing com-bined-with too much water is the bane of roadways. We cannot altogether prevent deep freezing, but if there be ample underground drainage, it will not effect great damage. The first ob ject, then, of the road maker. should be to secure good drainage. Without this, ridging the road only makes the mud deeper, aiid even stone or gravel do little gotd. It is often forgotton that the chief advantage from using an abundance of stone and gravel in road making is the incidental draiu igi which these afford, even when piled i. road with no idea of this use. If the center of the road is underlaid with stone, and then ridged up wth earth or gravel, it does for years form a good drain to keep the roadbed dry. But sooner or biter frost will penetrate to these stones and upheave them, lhen the last condition ot the improved roadway will be worse than the first. lhe fact is often forgotten that in a dry, compacted road, well ridged up. the soil freezes deeper, than it does in the fields. This is especially so when tne road is exiiosed to winds ana svept bare of snow. The drain undei the roadbed should be not less thai. three feet deep, and. if possible, four teet would he still better. Whet hi i made with tile or stone, it shouldU ia d as carefully and the joints covered as closely as if it were laid in the fields. Tiieit, with goxl outlets. and Mile dram ro conduct the water lr.wu the centei in all the low place-, .m-i wit ii imp t. ativeiy ii; 1 ie rnig:n h; wu.i s'on gravel, the routine i wiU ; - . tuuiiiioti for ) ears. . It is not the amouni oi a ; -i,i-- the ridge in the center ;U;;t 'otar. road.'. av good, but the ch: a.- ter id ii suriaces anu its unirorm sione loei-uei side. Ruts spoil roads qui ker thai anything else. They are the reser voirs for water, which, mixed by heavily loaded w heels, grinding it into the soil and making un;d, renders it im iir 1 1 .1 i possible lor water to ureaK its way through. Over the dram should b a foot or more of subsoil to keep th frost out, then followed by stone to a depth of six or eight inches, pounde tine on top and covered with gravel There will always be an outlet. under the stone to drain below, and if its out let is kept open in low places, the sur face cf the roadbed will always be dry isuch a road caiinot become muddy ex eept for an inch or so on the surface. It costs something to thoroughly unelerdrain a roadway and improve 1 aftej; this manner, but, once done, will last practically forever if the drain outlets are kept open. Doing a little piece each j'.ear, the people in any road district may in time have, good roads, that will need only trifling attention to keep in repairs. It is far better than the wasteful way of trying to im prove long sections of roadway every year, and doing generally quite as much harm as good. The difference between having good and bad roads to market does practically affect the value qf t heir-land more than most farmers think. If they appreciated this as they should, thousands of them would take, a greater interest in the way their road is worked out than they have ever done, before. Why Men Drink. The wonderful humorist, Tom Hood, once remarked. "There are five reas ons why men drink! Good wine, a friend, because they are dry, or ut least they may be bye and bye, or any. other reason why." " The lust is perhaps the most common reason. James Partou once beaded an article, wnt uiet 11 . i ..r;ti it I coming man drink?" but as he failed to answer the query we will express a decided opinion, that until the coming man learns to prize home, social tamily ties above all others, will he learn not to abase his own organism. In March last a writer in the Medical Age made some practical remarks upon this sub ject, nnd offered a timely hint which prohibition advocates would do well to note. He savs: "As long; as the impcrfectious of humanity remain unfitted to its surroundings and condi tions so long evil and misery will con tinue, and men seek refuge in strong drink. Increase the sum of human happiness by whatever means possible, lesson the burdens and ameliorate the woes of mankind, remove hunger, 1 s ease and pain by a better physical and mn'rul ndneatiotl. and VOU Will have Among the worst morbid conditions resulted from the , use of alcoholic li nuors. as well as from improper food nnd customs of eating, are inflamma- UH'I "" r-l" g .
