Friday Morning. Dec. 28. 1S4 HOEING THEIR OWN HOW One of the great mistakes the Re publican party made was in making Governmental paternalism one of its fundamental principles in practice if not in theory, and one of the great mistakes the Populist party made was in following the Republican party in this respect. The repre sentatives of these parties would probably deny that they taught pa ternalism; but what is the doctrine of protection as understood and prac ticed by the Republicans but pater nalism ? paternalism of the worst kind, too, for it unjustly discrimina ted and took under its fostering care the classes which were best able to take care of themselves, and imposed burdens, upon the weak to enable it to take care of the strong. It not only took care of them but pampered them until they became strong and saucy enough to dictate to the Gov ernment, which encouraged them to look for it and to depend upon it rather than upon themselves. What are the sub-treasuries, Gov ernment ownership of railroads, &c, but paternalism, a discriminating paternalism, too, for they were in tended to be in the interest of a cer tain class. In this case one error and one extreme simply begat an other error and another extreme, for the Populists, who claimed to talk for the farmer and incidentally for the laboring man, argued, and logically, that if the Government took care of one class it was under quite as much obligation to take care of another, if it could take care of the manufacturer it was even more in duty bound to take care of the farmer, for the farm was the foundation upon which many of the manufactories stood, for it was that which furnished them the raw ma terial, without which their wheels would remain idle. This protection, or paternalism tn s done mire to demoralize the American people, to destroy their stalwart manhood, and make them lose confidence in themse ves than anything that was ever devised since the corner stone of the Republic was laid, and it will take years, pos sibly a generation, for them to re cover from its effects. It destroyed the manly spirit of self-reliance which had been characteristic of our people, stifled the more honest and generous impulses and fostered selfishness and the spirit of greed to an abnormal-degree, until the maxim became in practice, at least "every one for himself and the devil take the hindmost." The very moment any man or any industry acknowl edges dependence- upon the Govern meat that moment the man or in dustry shows lack of confidence in themselves. The more they depend upon that protection the less they will depend upon themselves and the more necessary that protection will become. Hasnt this been demonstrated in the actual operation of the protec tive system in this country? Didn't the manufacturers who in the begin nmg were satisfied wtth about ten per cent, protection, keep pleading for it and for as much as they could get? Under the Morrill tarift thirty two years ago," they were apparently content with 19 per cent, protection but continued pleading and demand in? until they got about 60, on the representation that it would be im possible for them to survive with out it. How fortunate it would have been for this country, what distracting and vexatious problems it would have escaped, if it had left every class and every industry to hoe its own row, to look after their own business, in their own way, and let the Government attend to its legiti mate business. There would then have been no entangling alliance be tween the Government and private enterprises, and no knotty, perplex ing questions to solve, questions which can and must be solved by the industries interested after all. The Kim, a a vwjorranKi tie. ore IBl trtne con- Colnmas at any a announcement! data for office, whether in the sha mm in. ma ttajrr,SiadrrtJseiuea sooner all learn that lesson the sooner and the more effectually the problem of self sustenance without Govern tal intermeddling or paternalism will be solved. Here are two illustrations in point. Some years ago when the farmers of Galifornia found that growing wheat did not pay them sufficiently for their time, money invested and labor, some of them be gan the culture of the sugar-beet and the result is that sugar-beet cul ture has become an industry of large proportions in that and several West ern States, and the farmers make three times as much per acre out of their beets as they could out of their wheat. When the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and some of the other wheat growing States of the West found the price of wheat down to or below the cost of production, some of them tried the experiment of feeding tt to stock, in place of corn, the resnlt of which is that about 100,000,000 bushels have been so fed this year. The introduction of the sugar beet solved, to some extent, the wheat growing problem, and the feeding of wheat to stock has to a very great extent solved the wheat surplus prob lem, both of which were very per plexing ones, neither of which would ever have been even partially solved if the farmers had continued to look to the Government to do it, wtth its protective paternalism. The moral of this is that the people are better able to protect themselves than the Government is to protect them, and the sooner it takes its bands off and lets each industry hoe its own row the better it will be for all. MINOR MENTION. Experience is a great teacher, pro vided people are willing to learn. Five cent cotton is doing more for the South in disposing of the cotton question than all that has been written and said for years, for it is forcing a -reduction of acreage, and turning attention to something else. There are . a great many cotton planters in this and ic other States who will materially reduce their acreage, and many wno win plant no cotton, raising wheat, corn and oats instead. In the neighborhood of Rome, Georgia, the corn crop was so abundant this year that large quantities are being snipped West, by farmers whd in past years depended on Western farms for their wheat, corn, pork, &c. A correspondent of the Atlanta Journal, writing from Rome, says a great many of the cotton-planters ill plant no cotton this year, but will .raise wheat, and incidentally calls attention to the fact that that was at one time a great wheat-grow ing section and twenty years ago Rome a large wheat market. There were six flour mills there. Now there is bat one. The cultivation of wheat was almost abandoned, the farmers depending on the West for their flour. Five-cent cotton has wrought the change and brought the planters back to the right road. The average yield of wheat acre in 1? ranee is about 18 Dusneis. In Argentina it is about 17. In the United States it is about 12. In France the 18 bushel yield is the re sult of careful cultivation. In Argen tina much of the land is new and produces good crops without fertiliz ing. In this country where the land was originally rich and produced good crops it has been permitted to run down until the yield on the aver age pays but little, if any, above the cost of cultivation, unless the prices should run unusually high. Isn't there something suggestive in this ? The Frenchman with 18 bushels to the acre or the Argentine grower with 17 can afford to sell his wheat for less money per bushel than the American grower with his twelve bushels can, even if the cost of production were the same. There is little wheat land in the United States which, barring accidents, could not with fair and in telligent treatment be made to pro duce at least twenty bushels to the acre, and in the Sooth, on account of the longer seasons, much more. We have been discussing and advising a reduction of the cotton acreage to get the planter ont of the wilderness, but a reduction of acreage and bet ter culture is quite as much of a ne cessity to the wheat-grower to get him out of the wilderness. at While the Government of the Uni ted Stales is connected with the banks it will benext to impossible to devise any scheme of financial reform which will not meet with stubborn resistance from some quarter. Any scheme which provides for an in crease in the volume of currency which cannot be controlled by the national banks will be fought by the banks, and any scheme which does not provide frr a considerable in crease will be fought by the people who believe that such control should not be put in the hands of any set of men. It is pretty much on this line that the fight against the bank bill before Congress is being made, the friends of the national banks op posing it because it provides for the establishment of State banks and the issue of what they sneeringly call "wild car money. They oppose State banks not because State banks may not be made as secure as the national banks are, but because they would to a considerable extent be come competitors of the national banks, which could not then have the monopoly ot the currency which they now have. It is really a fight of the money power against the peo ple, and that money power will always make itself felt until the partnership between die Government and the banks is dissolved. CURRENT CUMMENT. The Republicans seem to have reached the conclusion that a Force bill would do them more harm than good. It has taken them a long time to learn this, and some of those now living may yet learn that the gerrymander be longs to the same category that the Force bill belongs to. Louisville Courier Journal, Dem. The downfall of Samuel Gompers as leader of the federation of labor may indirectly result in the rehabilitation of Terence Powderly as a labor leader. The United Mine Workers are about to withdraw from the federation, and a revolt has de veloped in the Knights oi Labor in Pennsylvania. It is alleged that these elements will combine and place themselves under Powderly's leadership. Savannah Mews, Dem. It is a notable coincidence that the great Republican victory of 1894 brings the first Congress since the enfranchisement of the negroes in which there is not a single negro representative. There if food for re flection in this for the negroes who regard the Republican party as their especial champion. This yearfthe Republicans swept the country, put did not select a single negro.

His story was that bis old wife died one year ago, and on Janu ary 1. 1895, he is to take to himself an other wife. His intended wife is some what younger than be is. He got about S3 in silver and two dozen oranges. They say that this old negro has really arranged to be married as be said. Newton Enterprise: We under stand that Rutherford College will con tinue iust as it was before Dr. Aber- nethy's death, and that Prof. W. E. Abernethy has succeeded his father as its president. A young man found himself in a very awkward predicament in the Register of Deeds' office one day last week. He wanted a license to get married and for some reason, perhaps the old man was on his trail, he wanted it quick. But unfortunately, strange as it may sound, he had forgotten tbe young lady's name. For a while it looked as if bis matrimonial bark was about to sink in very deep water. But after much cositation it came back to him. - Mr. Robert Roar; borough, of Hickory. brother of Miss Annie Roseborouiih and Mrs. A. J.

Chicago society is con siderably exercised over tbe esae ol Mrs. warren tpnger, wife of a wen known capitalist and man ufacturer, who was indicted the other day by the grand jury for attempting to cor ruptly influence a juror in the suit of her husband against the Metropolitan Elevat ed Railroad company. When the charges against Mrs. bpnnger weresflrst made public a couple of months ago, they caused a sensation because or tne great wealth and prominence in a certain way of her husband, says the Chicago Post. The facts were widely commented on at the time, and there was a dramatic scene in Judge Baker's court when Mrs. oprlng- was confronted with and Identified by Mrs. Joseph Marmon, wife of the Juror who was the object of Mrs. Springer's al- MRS WARREN SPRISGER. leeed attemrt at jury filing. A jury had been for some days, at that time, engaged In the suit of Warren Springer against the Metropolitan Elevated Railway company, In which he claimed several hundred thou sand dollars from the corporation for dam ages said to have been done to one of his buildings by she construction of the ele vated road. One of the jurors was George W. Mar mon, ana one day Derore conn opened ne called on Judge Baker and said that a woman calling herself Mrs. Warren Springer had called on his wife at their home. 8284 Vernon avenue, and offered to pay her money contingent on Juror Mar mon securing a verdict in favor of Spring er. Judge Baker dismissed the jury from further hearing of the case and issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the woman who had approached Mrs. Marmon with the oroDositlon of bribery. It was stated by Mr. springer mar, ma wife could not have been the person who visited Mrs. Marmon, because she was out of town and had been for more than a week. She was identified by Mrs. Marmon, however, as the woman who had attempt ed to bribe her. Mrs. Springer was held for the grand jury, and the recent indict ment is the result. Mrs. springer is a rather comely woman, with a slender face framed with dark brown hair, has large rrav eves and apparently is sot more than 25 years old. Though she came of an old Scotch Presbyterian family, Mrs. bpring- er herself was sent to the Franciscan Sis ters' convent at Lexington, Ivy., when but 10 years of age and remained there until she was 20. Her manner is plainly that of a convent bred girl. She Is highly cul tivated a musician, painter and linguist -and her home Is crowded with books and works of a tan, The legal presumption will be that she acted under duress of her husband. Should this point be sustained it will leave Mr. Springer liable for the acts of his wife, be cause the law says that in such cases the husband shall receive the same penalty that would be inflicted on the wife were she convicted. A SCANDAL AVERTED. Ward McAllister Suppresses a Threatened Breach of Promise Suit. Heyward Hall McAllister, the young son of Ward McAllister, the arbiter of New York fashion, will not be sued by Mrs. Lizzie McCall- Wall for damages for breach of promise. Bather than have his private affairs aired in a court a money settlement baa been made, says the New York Herald, and there will be no litigation. Few women have had such a career as Mrs. McCall, who is still handsome and fascinating. She has been married twice, sued for divorce once and was indicted foi manslaughter in the fourth degree, charged With having killed her husband, George Barry Wall. After she had made her de but in "Bvangeline" sue marriea wan, a young lawyer of New York, and with him went to live in New Utrecht She longed for the society of her stage friends after a time, and her visits to them caused many quarrels between herself and her husband. One day in February, 1BH3, be was found in his room shot His wife was crying over him, and she said he had shot himself. He died In a lew days, nav- ins said that his wife had shot him and had begged him to say It waa an accident She was arrested, indicted and released on $5,000 bail, but the indictment waa after ward nole prosequied. She then went abroad, and, returning, went on the stage and was married to Nestor Lennon, an actor, who secured a divorce from her. Between Childhood aad Old. Age. A writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat says: A strange case that ia attracting the attention of and puzzling the Kansas City doctors is that of Lillian Miller, a girl of 11 years, who has undergone a most remarkable change within the past vear. About a year ago Lillian was a slight child of extreme nervous disposi tion. She had a fainting fit at that time, which the attending physician attributed to nervousness. From that time on the fainting spells grew frequent until finally tbey took the form of convulsions, and with this change came one that was won derful to a degree. The child when out of the convulsion complained of much pain and acted as a child of her age would nat urally. During the convulsion and im mediately after She appeared to become another person. She took on the appear ance of a very old woman is speech and manner. She would converse as an old woman and give advice to those about her. She claimed to be 99 years old and did not know those of the family who were with her. This peculiar condition lasts for an hour or so, and then she returns to her normal condition. These changes have become frequent until now she about equally divides her time between the two conditions. Ser Idea of Time. At the house of a friend of mine the other day a little auburn haired tot had been guilty of some mischief and had disappeared. We searched all over the house for Ler without success at first but at last she was found behind an easy chair. "Why, whereon earth have you been, Annie?" asked the mother. "Been here," came the feeble re sponse. "And how long have yon been here?" "Four daysl" she piped. It had seemed a long time to the child with the guilty conscience. New York Herald. Mushroom Poisoning. It is well perhaps for the sake of a possible emergency to bear in mind that on the authority of Dr. Taylor, chief of the division of microscopy of the de partment of agriculture, there is but one known antidote to mushroom poi soning, sulphate of a tropin. A dose may be given in the usual way by the mouth or by hypodermio injections. Broke Something. Miss Gaswell Have you heard that all ia over between Miss Bellefield and Mr. Hilltop? .

Their BreadatufTs Seem Sail, Solemn, Sod den and Bilious. A member of tbe English parliament, Florence O'DtriscoH, has a lively paper in The Century describing life and street scenes in Canton. Mr- O'Driscoll says: Tbe food purveyors mada a most striking display; the fruiterers exposed on flat trays bananas, pineapples, mel ons, figs, pears (the latter beautiful to she sight, but hard and tasteless), to gether with many Chinese fruits, whose shapes and tastes were familiar to me, but whose names I knew not Some of these fruits were most artistically peel ed, pineapple peeling being quite an art A great variety of vegetables was offer ed for sale. Among them were the white shoots of the bamboo, which seemed to be a favorite article of diet. But to what use indeed may not this wxmderful grass be put? From it Chinamen make almost everything conceivable hats, cloaks, sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings, baskets, chairs, carrying poles, fishing tools; the list might be prolonged ad infinitum. And then they eat it as well. Preserving ginger in many forms was a noticeable trade, rne roots were washed and left in water, as an English cook treats potatoes before boiling them. A number of men and women holding a two pronged xora in eacn nana sat around a table with the rubs of peeled ginger beside them. They picked ginger roots out of the water, and laying them on the table pierced them all over very rapidly with both forks until quite soft The pierced roots were then put into another tub, where they were boiled in sirup The ginger went through various other minor processes on til eventually it was packed in tbe earthenware jars in which it is sold in European shops. The whole process was certainly a clean one, and tbe smell of tire aromatio root in preparation was both grateful and pleasant In tne bakers shops I saw nothing corresponding to onr European loaf. Solid looking little yellow patties, slabs of flabby brown cakes, emblematic of concentrated dyspepsia; scones or an equivalent apparently of fried batter, and great flakes of milk white, slippery looking paste not above an eighth of an inch thick to bo rolled up and deftly sliced with a cleaver shaped tool into Ions strings like macaroni These foods were to bo seen everywhere in the city, hist nothing light and open. To my eyes the breadstuff seemed sad, solemn, sod den and bilious. THE WORK OF HER ENEMY. And It Waa Such ass Awfully Me Thing to Do Too. "It was Miss Miggs; I know it was!" she exclaimed angrily.

'As. that!" sbe cried, holding up a letter and glaring at it "It is an insult -a disgraceful insult but I know that he could not be intentionally guilty of such an affront She must have put him up to it. " ' ' Who is be? asked the dearest friend, anxiously working to get at tbe story . "Why, Roger McGurhan, of course," she returned in the same quick, excited manner. " Who else should it be. Hasn't he been calling here for the last three months? Hasn't ho been almost ou the point of proposing twice? Didn't I have everything arranged to catoh him next time? And now comes this!" "What is it dear? What is it? "Read!" replied the haughty young beauty as she tossed the letter to her friend. It was as follows: "Mr.' Roger McGurhan presents bis compliments to Miss Daisybelle and would consider it an honor to have her company at the polls on registration day. He will take pleasure in calling for her at such time as will suit her conven ience. " 'I'm sure that's very courteous of him," said the dearest friend. "Why should yon" 'Courteous! Courteous!" cried tho beautiful gii I. ' 'And I only 1 8 years old, as I once told him ! Ob, some enemy has done this!" Chicago Post Egyptian Geometry. The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre sents the most advanced attainments of the Egyptians in arithmetic and geom etry. It ia remarkable that they should have reached so great proficiency in mathematics at so remote a period of antiquity. But strange indeed is tho fact that during the next 2,000 years they should have made no progress whatsoever in it All the knowledge of geometry which they possessed when Greek scholars vis ited them, six centuries B. C, was doubtless known to them 2,000 years earlier, when they built those stupen dous and gigantic structures, the pyra mids. An explanation for this stagna tion of learning has been sought in the fact that their early discoveries in math ematics and medicine had the misfor tune of being entered upon their sacred books, and ''hat in after ages it was considered heretical to augment or mod -ify anything therein. Thus the bocks themselves closed the gates to progress. "History of Mathematics," Cajori. Pat's Way of Putting It. Caller Your master's not at home, eh, Pat? Pat No, sir!.

"His copy was always written on common white letter paper in a clear hand and most carefully prepared, with very few interlineations, and these were only put in after the greatest delibera tion. He used to bring his copy to the office himself and would afterward come and get the proofs, which he most carefully and painstakingly corrected, frequently making additional changes and correction therein when .a line in cold type did not exactly suit him. ' 'Our firm did not print The Atlantic in those days. We only stereotyped the plates, but nevertheless we were brought in contact with, the young poet frequent ly. In fact, he was in the office every few days. "He was very particular about his copy, and so careful was he as to detail and the exactness of his facts before let ting matter go to press that he caused us very little trouble, and when any thing was to blame he was far readier to assume the responsibility than to cen sure others. "Ho was in every way one of the most charming men I have ever known, of a very sanguine temperament, al though occasionally sad and reminis: cent "He said to me not long ago that he felt that he was living in another age and generation, and that all the people of his time, with whom he had lived, had gone and left him.
