THE UTTER-STATE CONVENTION.
I The indications are that the Soiith-
f ern Inter-State Immigration Con
vention which meets at Asheville on
. the lfth of December, will be largely
- attended, and the probabilities are
6 that every Southern State will be
f represented. This convention will
" be held at the call, we: believe, of
y the I Southern Immigration Associa
; tion wiich was organized a year or
; ' so ago, of which Mr. John T. Pat
rick, formerly. State Agent of Immi-
. gration of this State,
t President. 1
was elected
: The assemblage of a convention
lite this is an important matter, for
; as it will be composed jof live, pro
!v gressive and well informed men it
will be the means of eliciting much
I valuable information inregard to the
South, her attractions, advantages
and resources, information presented
in condensed form such as the aver
age information-seeker would desire.
Whether the Association has made
any progress since its organization
in directing immigration Southward
we do not know, for we have never
seen any report frm it, but with the
- co-operation of the people of the
respective States which it repre
sents it may do much by- exerting its
efforts in getting up exhibits at ex
positions and in other ways of the
products of the South, gathering,
preparing and judiciously distribu
ting such information in reference to
the South as persons seeking homes 4
or , investments here would . like to
.' have. j '
. But as this is an association organ
ized in the interest of all of the
Southern States, or of such as are
represented in it, it cannot be ex
pected to give special attention to
arty particular State, and that State,
therefore, which desires immigration
in any Considerable numbers and de
sires to hasten it will have to use
some efforts in her own behalf. But
there must be judgment shown in
this,7for a small number of the right
' . kind isL better than a j multitude of
tbe wrong kind. An indiscriminate
influx of immigrants if it could be
secured is not desirable. We don't
. believe in drumming Castle Garden
for immigrants, not because we ob
ject to the European immigrant, for
we do not, but because we do not
believe it good policy to encburage
a greater number : of people,
Lmanv of whom are I ignorant . of
i our manners, customs, institu
tionsand language, than can be read
ily assimilated and become Ameri
canized. Of these only the thriftier
and the better class should be sought
v or welcomed. We never want to see
the day in the South ' when a , ticket
' for municipal or State officers will
have to be composed of a half dozen
nationalities to placate the foreign
elements which do so much of the
voting and are in some States such
' potent Dolitical factors. In addition
to this, the character of immigra
tion these days is not what it was
twentv-nve vears ago. Theft' the
bulk of the immigrants were: from
the rural districts of Europe, were of
a good, thrifty and substantial class,
most of whom became cultivators
of... farms and proved good and
us.eful citizens. While now
there are many of that same
kind coming, who are welcome, there
are many from the over-crowded
cities of Europe, believers in social
istic, nihilistic and anarchistic doc
tnnes, j who left their respective
countries for their countries' ,good,
and are not a desirable acquisition
for any country. But few, if any, of
these, however, have strayed South-
ward yet, and there 'is not .much
danger j of their coming while the
breweries in the ' South are as few
and far between as they'are.
Any special effort that may be
made to induce immigration should
be made in the Western States es
pecially, for in them the best results
can be attained and the most desira.
ble class of immigrants; (we mean
farmers) can be found. There
"T " is more similarity ; between the
Southern man and. Western
man than between the South
erner ana the man ot any
other section, and tfor that reason
the Western man woujd be more apt
to become thoroughly identified
with the people amongst whom he
located, would be better satisfied
.. jl :..t a. J
. wouia worn io oeuer purpose ana
would therefore be - more likely to
succeed. As a general thing . the
Western man, like the Southern
man, is tolerant and liberal-minded
rand there would be but little friction
between j him and those amongst
whom he made his home, while
Western jmen are at the same time as
thorough-going, enterprising and
progressive as men of any section
In consequence of i the depressed
conditiorj of agriculture for some'
years in tne west, ana tne poor
compensation derived from it, there
are thousands of these people ' look
ing Southward, who1 would come
without much urging it they could
dispose of the farms they own. Bat
thousands of them will come and
North Carolina should get, with
judicious! effort, no inconsiderable
number of them, ,
THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK.
' Never j in the political history of
this country did the Democratic par
ty approach a Presidential election
with a gneater feeling of confidence,
Land never did the Republicans ap
proach it with more uneasiness and
misgivings: The Democrats have
blazed the way, they know the
ground, and. they, knowprecisely the
directiort which they must take to
get to their destination. But it is
not so with the Republicans. The
most fat-seeing of them are in a
state of jthe most embarrassingand
bewildering uncertainty. The-: Re
publican hosts who placed confidence
in their leaders, followed them and
marched under the McKinley tariff
and Force bill banner, met with
the most overwhelming defeat their
party inj the thirty years of its ex
istence ver sustained. They were
scattered and utterly demoralized.
Thy have lost confidence in tha
leaders whom they trustingly fol
lowed and now there is not one of all
these that led n that contest" that
they would follow as far as they
could throw an elephant by the tail.
The tact is they have no leaders,
for the so-called leaders got such a
set-back when they felt sure of vic
tory that they are in a dazea condi
tion and don't know for a certainty
which end they are standing upon.
There are scarcely any two of "them
that agree as to the causes of their
recent ! defeat and consequently
scarcely two of them who agree as
to the course to be 'pursued to re
trieve (that disaster. Some say it
was jhe McKinley, . bill, some
say it wasn't; some say it
was the Force bill, some say it
wasn't t some isay it was excessive
pensions, some say it wasn t; some
say it was Tom Reed, his black sash
and mallet, some say it wasn't; some
say it was Harrison's idiotic way of
dividing out the public patronage,
others' say it wasn't; some say it was
Jim Blaine conniving at the defeat of
his party to boost himself for the
Presidential nomination in 1892,
Others say it wasn't; some say it was
the protected manufacturers who got
all they demanded, and then didn't
cornel down liberally enough with
the bpodle, in addition to which,
they tan up prices right on the eve
of the election, others say it wasn't;
some say it was the Lord
chastening his beloved children.
others sav it wasn't, etc., etc.
And so as they can't come to any
agreement as to what lost them so
badly away down in the big woods
they! don't know exactly what road
to take to get out nor where they
are goingto. find the guide to point
and lead, the way.
S6me of them advise running the
knife into the McKinley tariff and
ripping it all up, while others say
that would be crawfishing and would
get- them deeper into the woods
than ever. Some say they must let
up f on the pension business, while
others say that will never do in the
world for that would lose them the
ldiers' vote, "and that's about all
they have 'at present. Some
sav that thev will have to
stabd more honestly by the civil
service, while others say that the
only way to deal with the civil ser
vice question is to deal with it hero
ically and bounce every Democrat
who may happen to have escaped
the axe so far, and every Republic
can who may have any timid scruples
about offensive partisanship or who
rqf uses to come down with the spot
:ash at the call ot the machine
manipulators. Some say that Blaine
is the Moses, with his little recipro
city save-all, to lead them out of the
woods, while others say that Blaine
who knifed the party in its last set-to
with the enemy can never be Presi
dent, that his burning ambition and
treachery shall never be rewarded by
piaking him the standard bearer . of
he party which he did his utmost to
defeat to promote his own chances
for promotion.
; And so it goes. They are united
pn nothing except the universally
conceded and very apparent fact that
they are in distress and don't know
how to get out. Their greatest and
about their only hope now is that
the Democratic House of Represen
tatives which succeeds the. present
one will make some . great blunder
which may help them to recover
what they have lost. But in this
they will be as badly mistaken as
they were in so many of their recent
calculations.
There is a good deal of human na
ture in the average man, and there
are very few who are not disposed
when they get the chance to rake in
the shekels at the expense of others;
Dr. Koch, the discoverer of the con-
suption cure, it seems, has entrusted
four physicans in Berlin with the ex
clusive practice of his treatment for
tuberculosis, and they consequently
have a monopoly of the practice, and
taking advantage of this they charge
fees so enormous that only those in
easy circumstances can command
their services. Dr. Koch does not
seem to be of the grasping kind, and
his object . in entrusting his
mode of treatment to a few, was to
prevent its abuse by getting into the
hands of incompetent persons, until
it could be thoroughly tested. .This
he regarded as necessary, as a mat
ter of self protection, and also to his
system of treatment.
MINOR MENTION.
Brayer Shepard,of the New York
Mail and Expresses long been re
garded as the champion journalistic
ass of this country. He has made
another discovery which ;,is almost
equal in brilliancy to the discovery
that it was the failure of Congress
to give the country one-cent post
age which beat the. Republican party
in the late election. Here it is: "The
Democratic party (we suppose he
means the Northern Democrats) has
made a league with the white ruling
class in the South-eastern States
(why not include the South-western
States) to allow them to reinstate
slavery.". About twenty years ago it
was a common thing for Radical ed
itors and stump-speakers to charge
that the South desired to reinstate
slavery, and for some years later
that was said by Radical stump
speakers in the South to scare the
negroes and keep them solid for the
g. o. p., but for several years past no
man has been found who had so lit
tle regard for his reputation as a
man of common sense as to make
such; a declaration publicly. If
Brayer Shepard means this, it shows
his intense ignorance of the South
and of the Southern people, for every
one who knows anything about them
knows that there is not one man in
ten thousand in the South ,who
awned slaves who would reinstate
slavery if he had it in his power to
do so, and no one but a man regard
less of his reputation for sense, an
ignorant ass, or a malicious and wilful
liar, would assert to the contrary. We
don't think that Brayer Shepard be
longs to any particular One of
these classes for he displays the cha
racteristic features of all.
One of the greatestcombines late
ly formed is the American Harvester
.Company, incorporated at Spring
field, Illinois, last week, with a capi
tal of $35,000,000. It embraces sev
enteen of the largest establishments
inthe country for the manufacture
of reapers, mowers, &c, and can, of
course, control the market, fix the
price, and break down any opposi
tion that might spring up. Such of
these establishments as may not be
closed out will be run under the same
management, the new organization
employing about 50,000 men, and
10,000 . agents, among whom the
country will be divided uo into dis
tricts, with a central manager in
each. Here is something which will
interest the farmers of the country
who have heretofore had the benefit
of competition in the purchase of
their agricultural machinery, which
will be destroyed under this power
ful combine.
The West may be behind the East
in some respectsbut'when it comes
to practical politics" she gets there
with both feet. A Dr. Graham who
spent sometime in McKinley's dis
trict during.thejlast'campaign, tells
the Washington Star, how the hust
lers ran things there. The Repub
licans employed a number of men to
go around among the farmers with
printed contracts agreeing to pay
three dollars'a head for sheep, then
worth two dollars, if the Republi
cans carried the election. The Dem
ocrats caught on to this, and sent
out a lot of young fellows with
wagons peddling tinware. for which
they asked about double as much as
tinware had been selling for, the in
crease of ' price being made neces
sary they said by the McKinley law.
As every farmer had use for tinware
and only onein ten had any sheep
to sell, the tinware peddlers got
away with the sheep buyers, and had
lots'of fun at the same time..
Some 'of the Republican editors
-i.
are trying to console tnemseives
with the reflection that they are not
much worse off now than they were
after the political defeats in 1874
and 1882. But the Chicago Tribune,
ReDublican. deprives them of this
small comfort by publishing thefol

all the preceding elections the Re
publicans managed to re-elect a ma

President Harrison's "vigor-

will recommend to Congress in his
forthcoming message, would be like
ly to impress his political antagonists

A-Very VtatldttU SpMoh by Mr. Cleva-
' ; , land. - ; , ' .
The following is ex-President
Cleveland's- .speech in response . to
the toast "Our Country," at the Jew
ellers's , dinner in New. York last
Thursday: ' '; ' : -..f'-'f -vr
"Mr. President and. Gentlemen: The
sentiment assigned to me suggests
a theme so vast and so animating
that I am embarrassed in my attempt
to deal with it.' " You surely will not
expect me on this occasion to voice
all the thoughts and feelings which
the mention of 'Our Country' in
spires. This is four' country because
the people have established it, be
cause they rule it, because they have
developed it, because : they : have
fought for it, and because they love
it; . And still each generation of
Americans hold it only in trust for
those who shall come "after them,
and they are charged for the obliga
tion, to transmit it as strong and
sound as it enme to their hands. It
is not ours to destroy, it is not ours
to sell, and it is not ours to neglect
and injure. It is ours as our
families are ours, and as our
churches and schools are ours-
to protect and defend,- to foster
and improve. As its strength and
ts fitness to reach its promised des
tiny depends upon its unity, one of
our highest duties toward it is to
cultivate and encourage kindliness
among our people, to the end that all
jnay heartily co-operate in perform
ing the terms of our trust. As it ex
ists fflfe: us allso all", should be ac
corded an equal share; in its benefits,
it is so constructed that its work is
badly done and its operation per
verted when special and exclusive
advantages arejfawarded to any par
ticular class of our people. If we
permit grasping selfishness to influ
ence us m the care of our trust, we
are untrue to our obligations and our
covenants as Americans. Our coun
try is 'ours' fox the purpose of secu
ring through its means justice,hap
piness and prosperity to all not
for the purpose of permitting
the selfish and designing to be en
riched at the expense of their con
fiding fellow:countrymen. It is our
duty then to defend and protect our
country while it remains in our hands
from that selfishness which, if per
mitted, will surely undermine it, as
clearly as it is our duty to- defend it
against armed enemies. Nor are we
discharged from our obligations as
trustees of our country if we merely
preserve it in the same condition as
when we received It. The march of
progress and civilization throughout
the world imposes on us the duty of
improving the subject of our trust
so that it may be transmitted to
others in such an advanced con
dition of prosperity and growth as
shall bear witness to our faithfulness
and our devotion to its interests. He
who hid his talent in a napkin and
added nothing to it was condemned
as unfaithful when called upon to
give an account of his stewardship.
Let us. rejoice then in the greatness
of 'our country,' but let us remember
that it will be our blame if it is not
made greater: let us boast of the
country which is 'ours,' but let our
i ooasung De temperea wun mere
flection that its possession is charged
with a sacred trust; let us constantly
bear in mind that while it is ours to
use - patriotically and transmit to
coming generations, our relation to
it is made more serious by the fact
that in its broadest and most solemn
meaning our country is something
which, as an example and interpre
ter of freedom, belongs to the world.
and which, in its blessed mission be
longs to humanity.
A SEVERED TONGUE!
A Remarkable Operation by Which
it
was 8avedt
Northwestern Medicdl Journal.
Dr. N. C. Davis, of Good Thunder,
jyiinn., in septemoer, in 1884, was
summoned to see a boy 7 years of
age, who had been kicked by a horse
on the right cheek, breaking off the
first bicuspid tooth. The tongue
was cut entirely orf at the junction
of the tip with the tip the base, or
the posterior portion of the fraenum
linguae, except a few fibres of
the tongue and mucuous membrane
on the right side. . When Dr. Davis
arrived the end of the. tongue was
protruding from the mouth. The
hemorrhage was controlled by a
dilute solution of persulphate of iron.
Dr. Davis drew -the base of the
tongue forward with a tenacium.
Then the apex was brought into ap-
. T T 1 . I
position wun me oase, ana secured
by five silk ligatures above on the
dorsum, and seven below. The
boy stood the operation well, and
the hemorrhage was trivial
rri i s.t'.
i ne Daiance ot tne treatment con
sisted iu syringing out the mouth
twice daily with a solution of boracic
acid and putting the patient upon a
liquid diet. L he tongue healed
nicely, with the exception of a small
portion on the left side, which
sloughed out and left a small notch,
which was nearly replaced by granu
lationi The doctor discharged the
patient in about three weeks, with
the tongue full length and articula
tion good.

.;- BUG TALK. ; '-. ;
The Savannah News Man Tells What He
Knows About it. ;
Physicians say that we have bugs
in us. ; rney are dapper ana aencaic
white hues, with fierce .hoses and
classic names. They are called phag
ocytes and bacilli. Phagocytes are
our friends, and bacilli are our ene
mies. They are. so" small that 1,000,
000 of them would not make a bun
dle as bie- as a flv. Still they hate
each other verv earnestly. H
o . , .
They generally cavort around in
the human blood, and paint things
red in their own infinitesimal way.
When a phagocyte suddenly turns
( . . ....j x j.
a corner in a vein ana uiscerns a iu.
bacillus trudging through the placid
rippling gore, going to market, he
immediately kicks him in the stom
ach "and straightway hops bh his
neck. Then there Is a scuffle and a
splashing of carmine de vie which
makes the veins tinele. With
a grunt the bacillus stops
kicking so that the tnum
phant phagocyte can j sit on
him and shout tor help, boon yon
might see several thousand friends
of the victor with coat taijs flapping
and eyes bulging, and all a-scout in
.. . : ui:-i..i i:.
tnat airecuon, or pauunng incir m
tie canoes through the larger canals
toward the scene of the scrapping
match. I -
They crowd around. One or two
sounds like a citizen would make by
pounding a bag of metal with the
flat side of a ; bootjack, and all is
still. Pretty soon the gladiator comes
out picking his teeth. i
' Phagocytes are cannibals.
Some times when a roystenng
crowd of phagocytes get after a lone
but long-legged bacillus there is the
liveliest sort of a sprinting conflict
Mr. Bacillus snorts and blows and
hustles hard for an open pore on the
Plaza de Cutaneum on; the keen
jump. If he gets there first he can
dash outside and slip around and
shin up a hair and make faces at the
pursuing phagocytes. As they can't
stand the cold they must get back
But if they choose to waylay him as
he comes in they are mighty apt to
eat him. For he can 1 1 stand cold
much better than thev. - r
Nevertheless he has toi keep those
pores open, because he aoesn t know
when he might come alcng in a hurry
and want to exit quick.
So you may know, when you teel
a stagnation of blood in jyour veins,
that a squad of phagocytes have got
an underhold rapon the breeches of a
bevy of bacilli and they jare having
a tussle and splashing around in your
veins in such j a way. as to interfere
with the circulation. But just as
soon as the phagocyte has had time
to carve and chew up his enemy, and
kick away the bones, things will run
along smoothly again.
