Canada is considering a bill
in her Parliament to allow the
United States to capture and
bring back to justice all tlio ab
sconding bank cashiers and
presidents and all criminals
who have lied from the scenes
of their misdeeds across the
St. Lawrence. The criminals
and defaulters are raising a
corruption fund to prevent the
passage of the bill. Canada
would honor herself and do us
justice by the passage of such a
bill.
A fewr Aveeks since The Cau
casian condemned public hang

pleased to see such a wio and
able editor as Brother Kings

take the . same position. He

Down with public hangings.
It is a relic of barbarism. Pub

unseemly displays. !

domestic fertilizer than for the
past dozon year.-. This is a
good sign, it betokens a per
manent improvement of the'
fanning lands of our whole
section of tho State. Wil. Mes
senger. We have insisted that our
fanners ehould buy less chemi
cal fertilizers and pay more at
tention to making their own,
and we are glad-to see that in
other sections this wis" course
is being followed. Read our
article on "Fertilizers" in Far
mers' column this week.
We are glad that tho House
refused to concur witH the Sen
ate to sell the Governor's Man
sion. An appropriation of only
$3,000 was needed to fiuish it,
but neither branch was willing
to grant eyen this small pittance
after the building is nearly fin
ished. Though a bill was at
last passal allowing certain
state property around Raleigh
to be sold for that purpose. We
have no patience with that class
of politicians who, blind to
state pride, believe in economy
to parsimoniousness for policy's
(sake. It may have been a mis
take to commence such a costly
structure, but now since it has
been nearly finished it should be
completed. We do not think
a governor is any better than
a private citizen, but wo have
a (jreat deal of slate pride for

The practice of the American
people in daily flocking to the
White House at Washington, to
gaze, stare at and shake hands
with the President, is one
the most abomniable and dis
trusting exhibition of snobbish

guilty of. It is becoming intol

HOW HARRISON'S CABINET
LOOKS TO OUR WASH
INGTON CORRES
PONDENT. Excep'.ing Noble, Their Record is a
Little Tainted.
EXCEFTING BLAINE AND WINDOM,
THEIR ABILITY IS OF A LOW ORDER.
Washington, D. C , 1
March 11th, 1839.
TVv. new administration is
slowly getting down to work.
Tho inaugural address was fair
ly well received here. It exci
ted no enthusias'ni among the
Republicans and little criticism
from the Democrats. He was
c ireful to make no promises,
contenting himself with general
statements.
The Cabinet is a queer sort of
a combination, when von take
the trouble to go over it Individ
lillv, uifofullv noting the per
sonal characteristics of its mem
bers. Like this for instance.
"Jiago.Tbn' otliwise known
Tam-s G, Blaine, Secretary of
State
I his is the man who de
liberately wrecked the Garfield
administration in order to pay
off au old personal score, and
who was himself wrecked in
1884. If he does not have the
new President in a hard place
very soon the new President
will prove himself to be the
possessor of much more strength
thin ho is generally credited j
with having.
'Dorsey's Billy," alias Win.
Windom, Secretary of the Trea
sury. This is the man who
stood by Blaine in the Garfield
wreck. Having been repudia
ted by the Republicans of Min
nesota, he went to New York
and became a sort of stool-pigeon
for Steve Dorsey, of Star
Route notoriety, in the floating
of speculative, or, as some peo
ple call them, '-wild, cat"
schemes. A few years ago Mr.
Windom had the Presidential
cue buzzing in his hat at a ter
rific rate, and it would not be
surprising if he should follow
the example of John Sherman,
who, when he v as Secretary of
Treasury, turned the depart
ment into a political machine
to boom himself for the Presi
dency. Whether this would in
terfere with the. future plans of
Harrison or Blaine, I cannot
say.
"Old Monopoly' alias Red
field Proctor, Secretary of War,
is a man that fow people out
side of Vermont ever heard of
before the last few weeks. He
controls all the marble quarries
in Vermont and has thereby
become rich, but nobody yet
has been able to discover any
good reason why he should have
bean made a Cabinet ofheer.
"Coon Benny," alias Benjamin
F. Tracy, Secretary of the Navy,
is a man of somewhat unsavory
record. lie was colonel of a
negro regiment for awhile dur
ing the war. and was afterwards
in command of the militarj
prison at Elmira, N. Y., whore
10,000 Confederates were confin
ed. He gained more notoriety
as one of Reseller's lawyers in
the great Beecher-Tilton scan
dal. He" has been a chronic
candidate for office in Brooklyn,
but has always failed of elec
tion, even when he succeeded
in getting the nomination. He
knows nothing about the Navy
and why he should have been
selected is a question that is
puzzling everybody, New York
Republicans ipcluded.
John W. Noble, of Missouri, is
the Secretary of the Interior,
lie is well known in St. Louis,
where he has practiced law, but
nobody in this section ever
heard of him until he was men
tioned a few weeks ago for his
present position. -
"Me too," alias W: II. II, Mil
ler, of Indiana, is Attorney
General, lhe only reason for
his being in the Cabint is that
he is Harrison's law partner.
"Cheap John,' alias John
Wanamaker, of Pennsylvania,
is the Postmaster General. Of
course, everybody knows why
he is in the cabinet. He bought
the place iu3t""as he wo aid any
"job lot" of goods m which he
thought there was a profit The
price he paid 100,000 was a
big one, and it is to be hoped
that he does not expect to re
aiize a profit on the transaction.
"Fighting Jerry," alias John
Rusk, of Wisconsin, is the seb-c-
tion for the new Agricultural
department. His first promi
nence was obtained by the pro
clamation ordering out the
railPia during the anarchists ex
citement in his state. That is
how Gov. Rusk got hia title of
"Fighting Jerry." lie will have
r.o anarchist to deal with in
his new posit'on, however, and
no troops at Lis disposal.
Xow there is tha while lot.
What d you think of them?
Tho office rockers have jump

notwithstanding h's pathetic
appo.il to theni in his Inaugural
address to -ive him a ilttle

House fairly wrani3 with them
from the time it is opened in
the mornim, until it is clo.-ed

tion3 in freights in the future.
The bill completely covers the
RTound and has the endorsement
of th Governor and tho Presi
dent of tho A. &X. C. Railroad
The following is the bill and
the Chronicle hopes that it will
pas without a dissenting voice:
Sec. 1. That it shall be unlaw
ful for any railroad in North
Carolina to difcriminateagainst
the freight received from the
Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad and to make rates by j
which, either directly or indi-i
rectly, by rebates or otherwise,
freights may be delivered at
les rate wLen received from
other roads than from points
along the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad in proportion
to distance hauled.
. Sec. 2. That any violation of
this act be deemed a misde
meanor and shall ba punishable
by a fine of not less than 100
for each and every violation
thereof.
Sec. 3. That all laws and
clauses of laws in conflict with
this act are hereby repealed.

paramount questions with the
farming world are, "What vhatl
manure with?" Shall I buy
guano?" "What brand?" "Caul
allord to pay the increase in
price?" Now these questions
should have been asked sooner.
Wheu ? Why, last summer, last
fall, last winter; in fact every
mouth since last ear's crop was
started. Yes, if each farmer had
asked himself these questions
all along during the year, and
had answered them by proper
management on his own part, it
would not now be necessary for
him to be concerned ab,,ut such
mattersjfo his barn yard orcom
post heap would contain all the
fertilizer needed for his farm.
But s.tys Mr. A. "I have used
guano and it paid me. I made
500 pounds of lint cotton per
acre whore I would have made
only 300, if I had not used it."
Now that may be all so, but if
t pays to purchase guano at
from 20 to 50 per ton, besides
paying freight on it, and haul
ing it from the depot, how much
better would it be for us if wo
could manufacture our own fer
tilizer at home at one-foui th the
cost, by simply saving and using
to an advantage what is wastiug
around us. It is generally con
ceded that the original pure
Peruvian guano was the best and
cheapest (even at from 50 to
00 a ton) of all fertilizers. Now

which a fresh layer of earth
should be plaeod often. In this
way a mott excellent and valu
able heap of fertilizer cau be
formed.
Abovb we have simply point
ed out how manures might be
saved at little expense. Though
after pursuing this course, wo
will still not have enough ma
nure for the prospective crop.
Then it is advisable to use in
addition some valuable ingredi
ents, tl ough much cheaper than
guano and about these wo will
have something to my in this
column next week. In tho mean
