The New Year does not open up bright for the gold reserve. He is weak indeed who hasn’t the strength to break a New Year’s resolu tion. The Legislature convenes next Wed nesday. Already the Fusion clans are gathering. The famous old suspension bridge at Niagara Falls has been pronounced un safe and must come down. The Parkhill Manufacturing Com pany, of Fitchburg, Mass., contemplates locating at Charlotte a 1,000 spindle mill for weaving cotton cloth. Congress, which re-assembled jester day, has just two months in which tore move the stigma of being a very trifling sort of body. Let it begin by passing the Carlisle bill or something better. Trouble begins in North Carolina next Wednesday, January 9th, when tht Fusion legislature assembles. The lion and the lamb will lie together in peace. Will they rise up in anger ? We shal see. The Springfield Republican acknowl edges that the Soath can now make a fine cotton goods as can be manufactureo in the New England States. It adds: Nor is there any reason why the South ern mills should not make fine good.» with machinery so far perfected as it is, and skilled labor so available as it is oi must soon be in that section. The authorities up in Springfield have intercepted a package sent thither from China. It was ostensibly a book, baton being opened it was found that the leaves had been cut out and a gorgeous silk handkerchief, of dutiable value, wa smuggled therein. The sad thing about it is that it was sent by a converted Oriental to a Springfield missionary. The present Congress has just two months within which to redeem its re cord. Not a single working day should be lost during that time. Upon the action of Congress between now and March 4th, depends largely the standing of the Democratic party before the world. The credit, welfare and pros perity of the country are also, to a great extent, at stake. The Chicago Herald opposes the Car lisle bill because ‘‘it embodies a scheme, which, if it should work according to expectation, would result in a very con siderable inflation of our already inflat ed credit currency.” The best thing about the Carlisle plan is that it does provide inflation when inflation is need ed to move the crops, and provides for such distribution as will prevent conges tion in the money centres. A. You-see-bi-us must be figuring foi the chairmanship of the committee on Charitable Institutions. It is said tba< he proposes to bring forward a bill in the legislature to have all the drunkarde in North Carolina cured at State Keelej Institutes. Already Keeley cure stock is looking up and holders of it are smil ing with approval at this scheme of the mountain statesman for banishing for ever the poisoned chalice from the Old North State. The North Carolina Christian Advo cate’s readers are to be congratulated upon rhe accession to the staff in the vig orous personality of Rev. H. M. Blair, who made his bow last week. He ha religion, brains and industry—the three requisites of journalistic success. We helped to welcome him to his first cir cuit when he became an itinerant. We are glad to see him taking rank with the ablest men of his church. He made a useful and successful pastor and starts out well in editorial work. North Carolina boys go away from h >me and win honors. They stay at home and do the same. This is well il lustrated in the case of two brothers, sons of the late Judge James W. Osborue, of the United States Circuit Court, of Charlotte. This week Mr. James W. Os borne, of New York, was promoted by District Attorney Fellows, Assistant Dis trict Attorney of New York city. Mr. Osborne went to New York in 1885 and is. now one of the leading attorneys of that great metropolis, and one of the leading Tammany men who came out of the crucible of investigation unscathed. His brother, Frank I. Osborne, Esq., re mained in Noitb Carolina and is Attor ney General of his native State. The honors taat have come to these talented attorneys prove that it is ability and not fictitious circumstances that bring the honors for which men strive. WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO t The President is reported to have his back up against the Wall street crowd, and will stand by Secretary Carlisle to the last. It is a probable story. The Washington correspondent of the Chi cago Herald, Walter Wellman; repre sents this scene to have taken place at one of last week’s cabinet meetings: The attacks of the New York men I upon Carlisle were under discussion Their attitude was explained by Mr. Car lisle. “This means, then,” said tie President, “that Wall street says to us we can’t run the government without their friendly assistance, doesn’t it!” “That is what it looks like.” “Well, in that case,” said the Presi dent, “they may go to hades.” We should suppose that under the cir my fn^r 1 that. But if the Wall street gang are bent upon dictating the financial policy of the government, as is plainly their purpose now, what can the administra tion do about it as long as they control the gold situation? Is this not a rather humiliating pass for a great government to be brought into? If there was ever a time when Con gress ought to come to the rescue of the government in its need and the relief of the people in their rights it is now. The crisis demands wise and prompt action. The gold reserve is disappearing at an alarming rate and the notes which are us*d to draw it out must be issued again. The law especially prohibits their retirement. The first principles of correct business methods would require Congress to get rid of these troublesome demand obligations. Then the govern ment would no longer b • required to in crease the national debt to get gold. No gold reserve would fie necessary. SELFISH ABUSE OF MB. CAR LISLE. No man who has ever been Secretary of the Treasury has received more abuse from the residents of Wall street. And he receives quite as much from those who are opposed to Wall street’s financial plans. This proves that Mr. Carlisle be longs to neither faction, but is seeking to do the best he can with the hole the Mc- Kinley tariff brought to the Treasury. We have often disagreed with him, but have had no patience with the gold bugs who clamor for his head because he does not meekly obey their every bidding. It would have been better for Mr. Carlisle and for the party and the people if he had long ago defied them. To show the spirit of those who denounce Secretary Carlisle we quote the following remarks nade by Mr. Fisk, of Harvey, Co , who subscribed for about $6,000,000 of the bonds: “The recommendations to Oungrisssof President Cleveland and Secretary .Car lisle for a new currency system an l the destruction of the present national bank ing system, after the administratioi had secured purchasers for the recent bond ssue as they did, was treacherous. Car lisle took advantage of his friends here to sell the bonds at a high price. “He is guilty of a trick for whhh a big operator in Wall street would have oeen stabbed. “The loss of profit to the syndicate is 1 matter of slight importance. It i 3 the principle of Carlisle’s conduct whic h wo jonsider. We did everything we nould to make the issue a great success. As a reward for our efforts Carlisle imiaedi ttely turns around and stabs us in the back. “It is a pleasing thought that the Gov ernmeut’B credit cannot be serious y af reeted by any one man. I do not hink mother government bond issue will be made in the near future. If it is, i: will oe, sold at a lower price than thejlast. Government bonds can always bt sold mre and abroad and the government's credit maintained, but the return 1 will lot be as favorable as were the last “It is idiotic on the part of Carlisle to irge a new currency scheme. Tbf>re is mne b«tt**r in the world than tbjit we now have.” CONVINCING THE SKEPTICAL. The Boston Journal of sees the beginning of great expansion of manufacturing in the South. The favor able conditions of raw product] low wages, and nearness to market will bring the investment of millions to the South where capitalists and investors are persuaded to visit us and lear a the truth. Concerning the outlook and the opportunities, th® Journal of Commerce says: “The unprecedented growth of naanu facturing industries in the South) dur ing the last ten years is beginning to attract investors of capital to thajt sec tion at a rate that but few hav4 any idea of. In connection with this flpw oi capital there appears to be no Room ing done, nor any especial effort made to attract investors to any special: loca tion. It is said that one of our mill en gineering firms is at present making olanß for ten large cotton mills ■to be b lilt in the South, all at different points, a id most of them in the different Spates. The truth of the matter is that the na tural advantages of the Southern State." are just beginning to be realized not only as a field for cotton manufacturing pur pose*, but for other industries. * * Fifteen years ago, had persons predicted the position the South would have occu pied at the present time, they would have been thought fit subjects for a luna tic asylum, and efforts would havt been made at once to put them there. Yet she is hardly in the dawn of her ( pros perity.” FIGURES TELL THE TALE. The Newbern Journal, in publishing the statement of the Commissioners of Craven county, notes the fact that when the Democrats took charge of the county finances, there was a debt of $165,000 which had been saddled upon the county by Republican Commissioners The Demo orats have kept up the interest, reduced the debt to $50,945.53, and will shortly pay $25,000 on this amount. The Fusionists are invited to ponder these figures well before inaugurating sweeping changes. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report absolutely pure AID FOR NEBRASKA. The people of Raleigh are called upon to do a noble work. The drought stricken farmers of the j West, by no fault of their own, are in a suffering condition. Death and starva tion are staring them in the face. Be sides, many of them are poorly clad, and the weather is intensely cold. The Chamber of Commerce last night held a meeting and appointed a commit tee to solicit aid for these sufferers of Ihe far west. We hope that the people of Raleigh and the surrounding commu nity will respond liberally. We believe that they will. Our people are ever ready to respond to all calls of this nature. From the heart of the great West now comes the ■ 1 py u( iMiw kuft [mmi ,r Hre ap peal will not be in vain. From the heart of the generous South, in her plentitude, to the heart of the great West, in her distress, will go an abundance of good cheer. And we hope that not only Raleigh but the people of the whole State will take up this work. Georgia and other States of the South will send great train loads of provisions, let North Carolina not be behind her sister States in this great charity. The project is one that should appeal to the heart of every man. DEMOCRATIC B \D TEMPER. Official election returns from thirty four of the forty-four States have been obtained by the Providence Journal, which lumps them together with the fol lowing interesting results : 1894. 1892. Inc. or Dec. Rep. 4,886.334 4.622.115 Inc. 264.219 1 1 Dem. 3,848,878 4,794,217 Dec. 945,339 iPop. 1,079,517 828,210 Inc. 251.307 I Pro. 196,393 232,669 Dec. 36,276 'Total 10,011,122 10,477,211 Dec. 466,089 A noteworthy fact about this is that j though it wa* an off year the total vote is only a little (446,089) less than the presidential vote of 1892. But more re ' markable still is the great defection in the ranks of the Democrats. Republi cans and Populists made about equal ’ gains, but tiuse do not begin to absorb the Democratic losses. Just about as many Democrats were too mad to vote ' at all as were mad enough to vote the * Populist or Republican ticket. Which 1 class was the madder it is hard to de cide. But there cau be no question ! about the fact that the above figures rep ' resent a vast amount of Democratic bad ! temper and should be an unmistakable lesson to the Congress which has just re assembled. 1 LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Good Times in Columbus—Prosperous Condition of the Farmers, Vineland, N. C., Jan. 2. To the Editor of the News and Observer. Dear Sir: — l see a good deal is being said in the papers about large hogs being killed in different places. Well, wo have some large hogs down here in Columbus. Messrs. Shade Wooten, Albert Thompson and Dave Suggs have recently killed sev eral hogs weighing from 300 to 350 pounds each. Mr. W. A. Sales has three hogs which will make 1,200 or more pounds of bacon. Sheriff McPhail has one that will make 350 or 400. These are ouly a few among mauy. I think the people here are in better condition, so far as something to eat is concerned, than usual. It is true the cotton crop was short and prices very low, but the people did not go in debt so heavily last year. And if the merchants do take all the cotton, starvation does not stare the peo ple in the face, because they, for the most part have made their own supplie-. Our people are beginning to diversify their crops more. Several made some tobacco last year and found it profitable. More of them will try it this year. More trucking will probably be done this year than usual. Those who ha\e tried truck ing here have found it profitable, as a rule. Several families from Pennsylvania have moved near Cronly, about seven teen miles from Wilmington. I under stand they iutend trucking and stock raising. I think they intend to grow celery to some extent. This is a fine country for growing grasses, and our people ate beginning to pay more attention to improving stock. Only a few years ago you could find nothing here but “scrub” cattle and “razor back” hogs now jou find a great many fine Jersey and other thoroughbred cows, and Poland-Chiua, Red-Jersey, Berkshire and Chester hogs. I am satisfied that a good living can be made here as easily as in any county in North Carolina. There is plenty of laud in Col umbus county that yields from 80 to 100 bushels of corn to the acre and it has been known to beat this, while 40 and 50 bushels is a common thing. I have been in tbe-e corn fields when you could not see a man ten steps away. The people in the upper part of the State have an idea that this section is unhealthy. This is a very mistaken idea aud especially so since the people here have been paying attention to having pure drinking w’ater. Here at Vineland we have an artesian well, and since it has been in operation, what is called malarial fever has been unknown. The Doctors find business dull, and the pat ent medicine vender has had to seek new fields, for that “tired feeling” has been removed without the use of any “kidney cures,” “pellets,” or “sarsaparilla.” Our people are in a position to agree with Mr. James R. Randall. That impure water instead of impure air is the cause of so many diseases, and especially of so-called ma laria, the disease that has been such a bugaboo in preventing people from coming to this section. I could cite sever al instances where visitors from the up per section of the State have come here in wretched health aud gone away feel ing like new creatures. I would like to see the News and Ob server have a large circulation in this county. I consider the Sunday edition alone well worth the price of the daily, aud I hope the articles now being writ ten by Mr. Daniel R. Goodloe will be published in book form. 1 would be glad if every voter, and especially young voter, in North Carolina could read his article on “The Dark Days of ’60,” “The Election of Governor Holden by Carpet-baggers aud Negroes,” and then follow him on the subject of “Car pet big Rule in North Carolina.” 1 have been wanting to read something on this line for several years and I have found just what I wanted in Mr. Goodloe’s articles. R. A. Rockwell. The Sugar Beet Industry. N. O. Agricultural Experi ment Station, < tfice of Di rector, Raleigh, N. C., January 3, 1895. To the Editor of the News and Observer. Dear Sir: I have carefully read your editorial in issue of January 2d in regard to raising sugar beets. While the profits | accruing to the farmer in raising sugar j beef s for the purpose of manufacture of sugar seems to be large, yet the only rea son that they are enabled to make a sale at all is because of the location near them of large sugar plants. It is estimated tha* one of these plants cannot be start ed for much less than $500,000. With out this factory conveniently located to buy the beets, of course the sale after they are produced can not be made. During the fall of 1893, when it seemed probable through the efforts of Congress man S. B. Alexander that some of these sugar factories could be se cured for North Carolina, the Ex periment Station offeri d to conduct all necessary tests in various sections of the State to ascertain what yield per acre could he relied on and what would be the sugar content of the beet after being produced. This offer was made through Congressman Alexander to the represen tatives of the capitalists who were in vestigating the matter. Probably owing to Congressional action in regard to the sugar bounty, investigation in reference to new locations has been discontinued, at least for the present. It is true that we have exceptional ad vantages in better seasons than in the far West, but without the location of beet sugar factories it is impossible to market the beets at all. Very respectfully, H. B. Battle, Director. LIVE QUESTIONS. The Tennessee Governorship. The Nashville Banner, a strong Demo cratic paper, deplores the determination of Governor Turney to contest the elec tion of Hon. H. Clay Evan, as Governor of Tennessee. Says the Banner: “Gov ernor Turney has some miserably bad advisers who have done him an injury in encouraging him in a course which has disappointed so many thousands of his more considerable friends. Governor Turney was defeated by Democrats who refused to vote, and he should have taken his defeat like a man.” Two Achievements in 1894. The Indianapolis News of December 31 says: “The year which closes today has been a notable one in American political history. It has witnessed the beginning of the end of the great struggle in behalf of the principle of civil service reform, and it has seen the adoption of a tariff which, with all its defects, is a recogni tion in several important particulars of the tariff reform idea. . A year which marks the death of the spoils system, which has so long debauched our national life, is a great year.” Congress Must Act. The New York Herald of January 2, says: “Congress met on December 8, and after spending three weeks in doing nothing worthy of mention it adjourned on the 24th ultimo to take a long holi day. When it reassembles to morrow the country demands that, it shall take action upon the supplemental tariff bills, the free-sbips bill and other important measures. The inaction of which the coun try complains is wholly to be laid at the door of the Senate, and all friends of good government demand that cloture shall be immediately adopted in that body. ” The Currency Problem. The New York Tribune saysi “Solu tions and attempted solutions of the cur rency problem are thick as autumn leaves. Some narrow, selfish interest shines out through most of them and pet theories dictate the rest. But men who wish their suggestions to have any practical value whatever need to start with a candid recognition of public opin ion—the actual wishes of the millions, and not the supposititious opinion which theorists think the people ought to have. Next, there must be loyalty to the fact of American history, whether they please or displease. Everybody may as well start with the fact that the American people believe in the legal tender cur rency, gratefully remember what it achieved for them, and have no mind to abandon it. Theorists do not like it, bankers do not, but the millions prefer it. to every other form of money.” HUMPHREYS 7 Nothing has ever been produced to equal or compare with Humphreys’ Witch, Hazel Oil as a curative and healing application.
