Wilmington Review.
The Baltimore American says it is
worthy of note that in many of the
Southern cities manufactured ice is
sold at cheaper rates than the natut
al article in some Northern cities.
This is another proof that the South

WHAT THE PI JESS It SAYING
Agriculture never took a longer
stride in advance than it did when the
silo was added to the practical equip
ment of the farm. Most of us were
slow to realize this at first, and a
great many are unwilling to concede
the advantage claimed for the silo
but the utility of the modern silo
cannot be gainsaid, for without it we
are left at the mercy of the elements
in the handling of our great corn crop.
American Farmer.
Any candid person, contrasting the
moderation exhibited by the Demo
cratic administration four years ago
with the rapacity now shown by the
Republicans; must confess that it is
not true that Harrison is no worse
than Cleveland. What a claim that is
for the partisans of the Administration
to put forward! Only nine months ago
Republican organs teemed with arti
cles denouncing Cleveland as so bad
a President that he ought to be turned
out of office, and a man put in his
place who would keep his pledges.
Within three months of this man's
inauguration the press of his party
is reduced to such straits as to beg
indulgence for him on the ground
that he really is no worse than his
predecessor. We do not recall a
more striking confession of a new
administration's failure. N. Y.

Even Convict! Oct Appointments.
The Repnblican party isn't choice
in its appointments. Between Eaves'
"reliables" who are "not afraid of the
devil" and the nigger mail agents the
peopie of North Carolina are having
b hard time of it. The latest disgrace
ful appointment was that of a negro
who lived in one of the Eastern coun
ties. He appiled for a route agent's
place. Soon after making application
he was tried for stealing, was sen
tenced to the penitentiary and was
sent to work the Roanoke & South
ern R. R. at W alnut Cove. A few
days ago a letter from the post office
department was forward from the
negro's old home to Walnut Cove
telling him to get up his bond, that
he would be appointed! Winston
