The Opinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. - Many scholar s have been men tioned for the Chair at the Uni- veisity marie vacant by the la mented death of Dr. Mangum, and we have been surprised that all have overlooked the State's mo.st distinguished literatus, Prof. Henry K Shepherd, Pres ident of the Charleston College, It is true that literature is his fort, but lie would fill with dis tinction any station. Why not transfer Dr. Hume to the Chair of Mental and Moral Philoso phy and place Prof. Shepherd in the Chair of Literature ? It'youshoull leceive a copy of "The Faun and VJreside," published at Washington, D. C. do not be misled by its false doctrines. In its leading edi torial it says: "We are now ready lor the war upon all that outrages, robs and oppress American agricul ture. Farmers, will you aid in so glorious a work?" IJut this is a syrens voice it is a lie. The paper is owned by monopolists and is intended to lead the farmer off the track. The Washington Post of May the 21st siys editorially: Few of the Congressmen speaking under the five-minute rule have managed to crowd more logic and sarcasm into their speech.ee than did Mr. McClammy, of North Carolina. From the Democratic standpoint the N. rth Carolina Congressman pointed out the vulnerable points in the pending measure, and he did it in a manner which cannot fail to impress on the minds of those wl'o read his remarks tint it is indeed hard to frame a tariff measure which is not open to sectional objec tion. The News and Observer in a long editorial on the alliance and politics, says: We do not object to the nomi nation of an Alliance man for any office, but we suggest that to outlaw all who are not Al liance men would breed ill feeling that might be verv in convenient hereafter. An ounse of prevention ij worth a pound of cure. We ex pect to work for the election of Democratic ticket and wo would just as lief everv man on. it should be an Alliance man as not, save and excent it would be a great departure to outlaw those ot ourfellow-citizens who do nr t belong to that organize tion. The alliance will "outlaw' no cla?s or professions. But it is the duty which every farmer owes to himself and his coun try, whether a member of the order or not, to see that every man elected to legislate for tbe people is an alliance man in principle if not by membership. The farmer must and will have relief by stopping and blotting out clas? legislation that has worked so terribly to his de triment If the man who can and will do this with the most zeal and effectiveness is not a member of the order, the alli ance will support him, for it will be to its interest to do so. The alliance is not organized to parcel the offices of the country out to its members, but to de mand the righting of wrongs, and the enactment of just laws and the recognition and esta blishments of great principl s. It has been but little more than a quarter of a century since President Linclon predicted that corporations would be en throned, that the property of the country would be concen trated, and that the Republic itself would be overthrown. Al ready the first two predictions have come true with t. e pre- cesion and unerring certainty of the divine prediction of holy- 1L JTJ.IL lUVlO)llio writ, and the Fanrers Alliance may be powerless to prevent the terrible realization of the third. If the order succeeds the dire calamity may beairest- 1 v a . ea. ji it can make any im press on legislation and f-.-rce the government to faithfully observe the execute for all the citizens alike, the guaran tee of liberty, protection of property and the pur suit of happiness, then the gathering storm of righteous indignation at outraged justice will be dispelled before its fury is vent. The people of Charlotte, who are as patriotic as they are inlerprisimr, will erect a monument to the memory of the signers of the famous Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The shaft will be unveiled on the next anni versary, May 20th, 1891. Till MONKY QUESTION. Under this head for the last month we have been publish ing from day today the opinion? ot the world's greatest financiers upon the effects of contracting the currency. Stated in different languages and in varying illus trationn they have all arrived at the conclusion that a diminu tion of the circulating medium to an am tint below what is essential to be the business of the people is one of the very greatest evils that can afflict them the greater because it is insidious and not discoverable except by the thoughtful, and involying a knowledge of affairs not possessed by the average man. The reader who has followed. even with slight attention, the extracts from the wcrksof these great thinkers and political economists, cannot fail to see that they have described as the evils consequent to the scarcity of money in other countries, all those which now so sorely op press our people. They have proved that : (1.) Contraction of the curren cy depresses prices. (2.) MaKes business stagnant. (3.) Encourages speculation and gamblingupon the exchange. (4.) jb osiers monopoly. (5.) Puts th& disorganized classes at the me.cy of the speculators. (0.) Strikes first and hardest at agriculture. (7.) Destroys the faith and credit of those engaged in legi timate occupations. (8.) Pauperizes the poor and makes princes of the rich. lhey show us conclusively. also, (if any proof were needed mac ootn goia ana silver are Hie legitimate measures aud media of exchange, that the de- monitization of either is a fear ful blunder, and that such de mon itization coupled with the constant withdrawal from circu lation of the paper currency is a crime against humanity. We intend to agitate the financial troubles now upon us until some remedy is found. Intelli gent discussion and earnest attention of the people to this matter must result in some practical remedv. To conclude otherwise would be a reflection upon our people. State Chroni cle. Let the voters of each Con gressional District, by all means, seo that the man they send to Congress is sound on the money question. Ed.J IJOYKIN AND ALLEN. We are reluctant to anticipate the actions of any individual as to the exercise of his legal fran chise much less the wishes of a large and intelligent communi ty, but we feel safe in saying however, that the next nominat ing convention for the 6th Judi cial District would certainly fail to reflect the earnest wishes of a majority of the best people, if the convention which is to be held on the 6 th day of July next In the town of Kinston, does not name Hon. PZdwin T. Boykin for Judge and Hon. O. H. Allen for Solicitor, for the sixth Judicial District. From an extended friendsliip with these gentlemen, and being placed in a position by reason of professional duties to make an estimate of the learn ing, capacity, ability and Christian deportment of these gentlemen, we do not hesitate to say that the ermine could not grace more manly shoulders than Judire Bovkin nor could the State be more fortunate in a prosecuting Office than our clever, conscientious Oliver H. Allen. La Grange Spectator. i I J ff ' ' AY A Pure kimoornoy and Wliito CLINTON, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1890. WOMAN'S SPHERE. mtEss. It h every woman's duty, first to hroelfi w-cond to li r family, and third to o-ietr U apjHar near, attractive and to an advantage in every way posioIe. With the approach of warm er weather begins again the reign of the white cambric peM ticoat. The dark silk petticoats that Lave been so much worn during the cold month? will be laid aside, and although light colored silk petticoats will be Worn somewhat, there can be nothing preaier, daintiei or more refined than a prettily trimmed white cambric skirt. They will be worn entirely in the house under gowns of thin and light materials. These skirts are elaborately trimmed with torchon or valenciennes lace, and are ruffled and tucked. The front has a deep flounce edged with lace three inches deep; above this three small tucks and lace insertion two inches de3p, three tucks and insertions; the back of the skirt has three laces on nainsook flounces, the laces falling a lit tle oyer each othe. Another skirt has an edging of torchon lace, oyer this a flounce of em broidered muslin, half over this a torchon lace ruffle on a muslin flounce, with three little tucks; the back with three flounces edged with torchon. These skirts are very similar, the dif ference being in the laces used and in the arrangement of the tucks and insertions, both skirts being made with one deep flounce in front and three be hind. Fancy ribbons in nlaids. stripes or brocaded, are much n demand for warden hats or for hats for every day wear. These hats are usually of coarse straw, in dark colors, and are trimmed with Ioods of ribbon in front of the crown and be hind. Butterflies continue in fash ion, lhey are in jet, steel, tin sel, lace or of ribbon, velvet or of anything that the mind of woman can devise. In fact, we cannot go far wrong in the shaping of trimmings of a hat this season. If the large bat flares and does not suit vour particular style of beauty bend it any way you rdease until vou get the becoming bend, and you are all right. If you do not want a big hat there are innu merable small ones, one of which is sine to suit you. So, too, with gowns. If the tignt-fitting gown does not suit your figure, the loosely draped gown and vest are quite as fash-j ionable. All types of beauty j and all kinds of figures may give thanks to Dame Fashion for this season's styles. FASHION .NOTES. Polonaises are worn a?ain. Jerseys now come with velvet sleeves. Leg-of-mutton sleeves should have only one seam. ihe glory of thh dress now rests in the corsage, the skirt being a secondary consideration. upen-worli ertects are a nota ble feature of this season's dress garniture. Spring bonnets this year are prettier than for a lontr time. The low crowns in bright colors or decked with tasteful flowers area vast improvement over disgusting decorations of dead Dirds or the tall ungainly hat whose chief office it seemed was to prevent half the audience at an entertainment from get ting a glimpse at th stage or periormers. 4ft- THE VALUE OF A "SUPERIOR WIFE." A Virginia jury in a lower court rendered a verdict of 6,000 for the loss by accident oi a "superior" wife, and this finding was affirmed by the court above. So we can have no hesitancy if we have a sup erior wife in adding an extra $6,000 to our assets when nmk- ing our repoit to Bradstreet and Dun.

Our Farmers' Column. something"Tnterestix to those who till THE SOIL. "There U no material iirogrtus that la well baaed and permanent without agricultural progress." The Commissioner of Agiicul ture, Mr. John Robinson, is planning a series of Farmers' Institutes to be held at various points in tho State, to be aided in the work by Professors Massr ey and Chamberlain, of the State Agricultural College. These meetings are entirely practical, and will no doubt be beneficial in broadening the ideas of the farmers and in giving them a better under standing of what scientific far ming is. Many a farmer has used the wrong manure on a given lot or portion of the farm. We saw General David Clark, of Halifax county, buying a ship load of guano in 1860 for which lie paid some $12 or $14 a ton. We asked why he did not use the Peruvian? He said he had had all parts of his vast plantation uualyzed by a thorough chemist, and that his soil contained more thin enough of the prop jrties or elements to be found in the Peruvian. That he used supplied precihely what was lackeng in the soil and that he would not use the Peruvian at any price. By tin way, we saw sixty ploughs running side by side iu his vast river bottoms. It was pretty to see, Which Grass Is Best. Variety of grasses grown in the State. In order to find out which of the grasses was con sidered the bes i. general Durnose grass in the State, the following question was sent out by the State Commissioner of Agricul ture: What variety do you consider best? To this question there were 82 answers favorintr orch ard grass, 58 timothy, 23 red clover, and from 2 to 15 favor ing the following varietes in their order, red top, herd's gress, crab gras., lucerne, John ston grass, native meadow, millet, bermuda, bull trrass. feather grass, pearl grass, dog loot ana blue top. This array shows what varieties are sown. and is some indication as to which are most profitable in this State. Tha "Reidsville Weakly" thinks there is a change for the better in boys leaving the farm and gives it expression in the f -llowing: "There was a time when our young men would flock from the farms to the towns and cities in search of lighter and more lucrative em ployment, but since public in terest is becoming so clearly manifest in argiculture, and the best talent of the country is being appropriated to it, and labor-saving machinery and scientific methods are being so universally introduced, our boys are recognizing farming to be a field for the widest develop ment, and many who have left them like true prodigals a.- returning and are again enlist ing themselves in the "National necessity." God grant that this may continue, and His chosen profession may prosper." Southern Farmer. Bays the "American Farmer," with great truth. It is a re markable fact that a farmer who produces a large or unusu ally profitable crop, oa one thit has been unusually successful, you will find that he commen ced farming with a small farm and only increased in size as his means increased and only as he could give the same care and attention to the additional acres that he formerly gave to the original. Small farms, as a rule, pay better than large ones. -Southern Farmer. Oats are not only the mst natural lood for horses, but are decidedly tbe most nutritious.

THE ALLIANCE. What it i Doing ia North Carolina. The Chronicle had a short interview yesterday with Mr. E. C. Beddingficld, secretary of the Farmer' Alliance,and learn ed the following : There are 2,095 sub alliances on the roll and over 2.0G5 iu good working order, besides 91 county alliances. Every coun ty in the State is now organized except Dare and New Hanover, both of which are expected to be organized during the sum mer. Orer one hundred and twenty alliances have been organized since the 9th of Janu ary. The organization is iu a healthy condition in almost every section of the State aud a good crop of lecturers is at work in those sections where it is least properous. The members are taking moru in terests in public affairs than ever before and it is likely that the primary conventions iu the ruial districts will be very largely attended this summer. The State Business. Agency has been a decided success. The trade has fallen off somewhat in the last few weeks but they still do a large volume of busi ness. It has saved thousands of dollars to the meirbeis of the Order during the past season. State Chronicle. The Progressive Farmer of last week had a thoughtful edi torial upon the proposition laid down by s )me that the present low price of agricultural pro ducts are due to over-produc tion. It asserts that we raised 9J bushels of wheat per capita in 1881 and 7 J per caoi a in 1887, and that the average price iu 1881 was $1 .15 per bushel and now it is 70 cents. We assume that these figures are correct. If so, it is clear that over-prc- duction is not what is the mat ter, and our contemporary calls upon the diagnosticians to guess again. It says the trouble is with the finacial system of our government, and we do not think the correctness of the conclusion admits of a doutt. The ostein which forces the farmer to sell his products in a free trade market and makes all of hii purchases in a highly protected market, is one of tho Ihiugs that is the matter, and another, as we see it attCi" con siderable reflection, is ihe lack of a sufficient volume of curren cy in circulation. The Land mark is a conve.t to free silver coiuage.--Statt sville Landmark. Side Issues. Seveial substitutes for the Sub-Treasury plan have been offered. But our people hIiouM be careful how they bite at the baits thrown out. The strongest advocates of the bill h i ve said time aud again that thr-y would accept anything better. But has such been offered ? Senator Stanford has presented a bill for the government t loan money on i eal estate at a low iate of interest. No !. iiianeat rel'ef would come fro . this We want something th.it .lo ild hist. It is plan ihaitho.su who are not in debt would .oe vc no benefit from that anage ment. This is simply a side iisue, if we be allowed to so term it. Such men as Senator Stanfoid hope to pull ove a portion of people, especially in the Northwest, and getusd.vid ed. "United wo stand, divided we fall." That is t'te game. We must stick to the Sub-Treasury bill or something better. But some of our Senators are not well up in logic. It would be poor economy for us to ask the government to tax us and then loan the money hack to us at even a low late of into.est. If it be loaned at one per cent, we would just be -one per cent, poorer. No, thauk you Bro. Stanford, the "same oil gme" won't work any longer, we mean business.

The Tinners are paying their rents irregular ly, oi not at all; their to?k in trade hxs often to be detrained to recover arrears of rent. The laud o vnt-rs are overwhelmed by moitgages. When at last, In order to extricato themselves, they try to sell their estates; they find no purchasers, or have to bo satisfied with a price on thiul below former estimates. The discouragement is univer sal. No more agricultural im provements are being effected; employment is, consevvently, lacking; and there is great in digence. Hence that increasing emigration, for which special trains and steamcis have to bo arranged, it is a veritable exodus. What remely for so much suffering? M. Herr Vou Barr. Tho Farmers' Alllancu of St. Joseph Mo., has undertaken a gigantic scheme to advance the price of wheat. A largo eleva tor is to be built for the farmer who are members of the Al lianec, and the wheat is to re main stored until it can bo sold at 1 a bushel. Iu order to tide over the farmers who have their wheat thus stored, a now bank is to bo established at St. Joseph, with a capital of $50,000. and the money ue loaned to me nbers at a very lo v rate of interest.
