Atlanta Journal. An important factor in the result was the persistent attack upon the adminis tration by a crowd of Philistines in the Democratic party who placed pell above principles, and offices above party. This horde of disappointed office seekers and ex-protectionists, fought those in power with more violence than they did the Republicans. Their hands were always on their daggers and like the conspir'ar tors of ancient Rome, they were deter mined to 6tab Caesar to death though the Republic fell. All these things have played their part, and the Democracy has learned its lesson. If i$ would regain its prestige with the people, it must 6hake off the trappings of populism, be true to its principles and and its chosen leaders. . The traitors in the senate who cried the Gorman bill down the throat of the house against the noble protest of Mr. Cleveland and all true friends of tariff reform, discouraged and disheartened those who had hoped for the legitimate fruits of Democratic victory. , Much of the blame for the result is due those who spread dissension in the ranks with which they pretend to be marching abreast. They are the Dem ocratic soreheads, the Democratic cal umniators of a Democratic President, men who called him the tool of Wall street and charged him with being re sponsible for five cent cotton. Thir diatribes were gleefully echoed by the enemy who feared no fatal shot from guns carried by those who cursed their commander. ' What the Fops W1U Give Us. Horganton Herald. Of course, the good times are coming. There will be a demand for an un limited quantify of cord-wood at two dollars a cord, corn will bring two dol lars the year round, money will grow on white oak tree and laborers will only have to name their price to get it.

It is found upon a careful examina tion that of the fusionists in the legisla ture the Populists have the majority. It is thought that this fact may have considerable influence in several ways. The Republicans will contend that they did most of the voting and really car ried fusion through. The telegrams told of a new movement fer a new par ty in Texas. W. F. Stroud, f u6ionist elected to congress in the Raleigh dis trict, said there was a eimiliar move ment in North Carolina. Some Demo crats claim that the election fusionists has already depressed North Carolina securities and will still further depress them and municipal securities. Other Democrats take a more optimistic view. ' farmer and have something to say of ' him in this life.

It is 1- ,1 HAt i a iniifltmr wur&mg ttuu iiut niuuug, ik o iiivunj and not indolence, which makes the model farmer ; therefore we say the first essential element in the model farmer is constant, everlasting, never-let-up in dustry. The model farmer is as bUsy in January as he is in June, as hard at it in March as he is in October. To run a farm wisely it is an all-the-year-round job, plowing and planting, cultivating and harvesting are but four things to be done by the model farmer. Everything, including land, horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, claim a part of his time and some of his labor and he must take care of his land, then his land will take care of him. The everlasting taking from and put ting nothing back again has bankrupted many a farmer and ruined many a farm.

Senator Sherman, who was as deep in Kepubhcan campaign secrets and ex pectations as any man, does not hesi tate to express his surprise at the results of the election. He says that the most expected was that the Republicans would! succeed in electing a email majority of the House. If the winners were sur prised it is easy to imagine that the losers were more so. Mecklenburg county is not only sub stantially and reliably Democratic, but it is coming to the front rapidly in in creasing its population, as will be seen by the following from the Charlotte News : ' "Mrs. Green Steele presented her husband with a quartette this week. Wisiiin the past few days three pairs of twins have come to light in Charlotte." Luck is the encouragement of pluck industrious maUi and gives him from ten to fifteen hours' work a day, twenty: six days in the month and twelve months in the year. It gives him very ' little time to attend political meetings and less time to give to politics and politicians. No fanner ever made anything to help him on his farm by his connection with politics or his association with politicians. I know some good farmers who are bankrupted today because they became interested in politics. Politics will bank rupt a farmer, a lawyer, a merchant,; a nreacher or the devil himself. A earn, the model farmer studies tne character' of his soil, the fertilizers adapted to it, and by this meaps he is able to orocure the best results and the most lucrative harvest. The average farmer of this country knows no more of the component; parts of the soil he cultivates than the mule that walks in the furrow ahead of him. I believe a fellow can succeed as a farmer better than in any other profess sion, for a maU must know something in most any other calling or profession to get along at all but I have seen first class fools make pretty fair crops. - Again, the model farmer is a frugal man ; he makes every edge cut. He never buys a grain of corn, a pound of meat, or a bushel of wheat ; he lives at home and lives well. We may talk about Delmonico's in New York, but the model farmer sets the best table to which I ever sat down. The best bread the best butter and milk, the best vege tables. Really, it makes me hungry to write about them. He sells his surplus in everything, and has a surplus of everything to sell that grows upon the farm. Again, the model fanner lives within his means. Ife willtlo it, if no other way, like Pat said he got rich by doing without the things he was obliged to have. Woe be to the farmer 'the day he gives his consent to go into debt, and the farmer who is not in debt is an exception, world without end, to the rule. He must raise cotton, and there are farmers producing and selling it on the market today, as cheap as it is, and taking the money he gets for his pro duce and buying as much with it as the same produce would ever buy ; really a dollar will buy more today than any day in the history of our country, but the dollar today don't pay any more debts than in did in any other day in times of prosperity. He who makes the crop oi this year to pay on debts of last year, and the accumulated debts of this year is left now. One of the finest farmers in Gergia today gave this as his experience. .He said he ran along in debt for several years after the war, until finally the mortgage took his place, the merchant took his mule, and the devil was about to take him : he had no credit and no friends : finally he said to his wife and children : "We have corn "enough to: feed our mules and bread for us, and our cow will give us plenty of milk and butter : on this rented farm we wil. make our crop on bread and butter and milk." He said all through me year he sat down to his table, morning, noon and night, not a piece of meat nor i cup of coffee, nor any delicacies of lux uries went on his table; through the year At the end of the year his part of the crop came to him all in cash ; he settled up his debts and had one hundred dol lars left : the next year he made the one hundred dollars run him, and today he is one of our largest and most prosper ous farmers, and says he has not seen a day for fifteen years that he wouldn' knock a man down who would offer to credit him. He says that the two years that he lived closely, on bread and but ter most of the time, were the two years that gave -him the lessons ot oconomy and frugality which made him today almost a millionaire farmer. If our farmers could learn a lesson like this, quit looking to the merchant for credit and congress for aid, but with frugality, wisdom and industry mix their muscle with their soil, their com mon sense with the management of their business, the farmer of today would be the most independent man in the world. No model , farmer will go into debt. The day he goes into debt, whatever else he may be or may not be, he ceases to be a model farmer. The model farmer is a hospitable man. Some of the most magni'icent hospitality 1 have ever witnessed or shared has been at the good old farm er's home. His genial disposition, his healthy common sense, good wife, his manly boys and womanly girls, charm us with their association, and the table bids us feast and live. The model farmer is a man of general information, well posted along the lines of history, political economy and agri culture ; in other words, he is a pleasant companion, talking sensibly upon all subjects and foolishly upon none. The model farmer has a genius for producing the longest ear of corn, the biggest potatoes, ' the finest hogs, the best wheat, and then he keeps on hand he fattest mules the finest milch cows, her pin money, not to buy sugar and coffee with for the family, but it is hers to do as she pleases with, and she takes a greater interest in these things because they are hers. Xbe model farmer will make ms own boys work, for woe be to him when he and his boys sit up in the shade the year round and boss a poor old crippled nefirro and a stiff-eared mule make a a crop. The model farmer is a true Christian man who recognizes tne iact tna nis farm belones to God and he is but a tenant in possession. . , He totes fair with God, knowing that the sunshine and the rain with the seed time and harvest which they bripg is but the gift of the kind F&tner above. The farmer, above all men, ought! to be the nurest and best man, constantly in contact with sunshine and showers, with fields and forest, with fruits -and flowers, with the bright world all day and the stars and quiet at night. As a rule our farmers are best iri char acter and purest in life. May thegood Father above us multiply the model farmer all over our land, for it will be eivine to them a perpetuity of our purest morals and they will be the main stay of our government and institutions, both the church and state leaning on their strong arms and noble hearts. . Yours truly, Sam P. Jones. Applying the Rule the Other Way. A Chinaman, says the Clistian Ad vocate, applied for the position of cook in a family in one of our Western cities. The lady of the house and most of the family were members of a fash ionable church, and they were deter mined to look well after the character of the servant. So when John China man appeared at the door he was asked ' 'Do you drink whiskey ? "No," said he, "I Clistian man." "Do you play cards?" "No, I Clistian man." He was employed and gave great sat isfaction. He did his work well, was honest, upright, correct and respectful After some weeks the lady gave a "pro gressive euchre party and had wines New York, Nov. 8, 1894, Cotton has declined again to-day, chiefly, I understand, upon the crop es timate just issued by Mr. Neul, of New Orleans, that the crop will be over 10, 000,000 of bales. The crop is undoubt edly a large one, but I confess, that I gm, unable to pee any basis for such a large estimate. The largest crop ever grown in this country was that which was planted in 1890. The yield of that crop was probably 9,200.000. The commercial crop of that season was 8,- 674,000, and the difference between this and the quantity I have given as the probable yield was marketed in the following season. There is no evidence whatever to prove that the acreage of the crap flp.w being marketed was any larger than that of the crop of 1890-91, nor is the;-e any evidence, to my mind, at least; that the weather conditions have been more favorable this year than in 1890. I am at a loss, therefore, to understand to what cause or causes is to be reason ably attributed a yield so much in ex cess of the monster crop in 1890. The acreage in 1890 was about 20,- 500,000 acres, and I do not think any one has claimed or will claim that it was any more this year. The Depart ment of agriculture has been making since Februrary 1st, a careful investiga tion of the question of the cotton acreage, and has employed a special agent for the purpose, who has travelled through the South, and has investigated uij3 matter, as I am told, in the most thorough manner possible. The acting Secretary of Agriculture wrote me on October 25th, that the result of the in vestigation was that the acreage in 1893 was, 19,525,000 acres. There has been but a small increase in acreage this year over 1893, the Department of Agncul ture calling the increase less man l per cent., so that tne acreage, of the crop coming in, according to the Department estimate, is about 19,650,000 acres Let us assume that the Department has under-estimated it somewhat, and .that the acreage is as much as 20,000,000 acres. This, as you will see, is ouu.uuu acres less than in 1890, and yet we are asked to believe that upon an acreage of 500,000 acres Jess than in 1890 a crop of a million bales more has been grown HOUSEHOLD RECEIPTS.

When the late Professor Swing with drew from the Presbyterian church after having been acquitted on a trial for heresy, a large number of his ad mirers purchased me Uentr&l -Alusic Hall in Chicago and for vears before his death Professor Swing preached there to great congregations. When he died his church was eorely troubled to find some one to take his place, for few men can preach as did Professor Swing. A few days ago the congregation peti tioned Dr. Gunsaulus, the most eminent Mothodist preacher in Chicago, to give up his denominational connection and become their pastor. They are nearly all Presbyterians, or rather they were before they seceded with Professor Swing,, but in asking Dr. Gunsaulus to preach for them, they say that they do not case so much for doctrine as for the application 'of the scriptures to every day life. They ask for broad preaching instead of the controversial style. Dr. Gunsaulus has not yet given his answer to this very complimentary request but the Chicago papers predict that he will accept. President Cleveland is now working upon his annual message to Congress, which is expected to be quite long this year. While not -earing to make the postive statement, I have excellent rea sons for the belief that the message will deal very vigorously with tariff reform and will make it perfectly plain that the President believes the defeat of the Democratic party was not for what was done in that direction by Congress, but for what was not done, and will urge in no uncertain language that the omis sions of the last session be partially made up at the coming session, by the passing of the free raw material bill by the Senate which were passed by the House at the last session. It is not believed that anything that the Presi dent can say will cause the Senate to pass those bills, because the Democratic Senators who struck the free Taw - mate rial features, with the exception of wool, out of the original Wilson bill will not vote for them, but the President can at least put himself - on record as still believing incommoa with most Dem ocrats, that the pledges upon which the party was put into power two years ago ought to be kept before the party loses control of Congress, and I. believe he will do it.

AN ESTIMATE OF SENATOR HILL. Independent',' in the November Forum. Mr. Hill is a man of great intelli gence, whose character depends upon circumstance. A clever - newspaper writer once compared Mr. Hill with Jay Gould saying : "Gould's purpose is the accumulation of wealth, .".'Hill's is the obtaining of political power. And for twenty-five years there has been no thought or action of his lif e which has nqt been centered in his purpose." As for Senator Hill himself, he has reached the zenith of his spectacular j and artificial political career. lie has no moral resources. A product of ma chine politics, his career may at any time be closed by the same artificial forces that have made it ; nothing is less secure than a machine built success. Least of all can the party afford to follow the one man in its ranks who has m the most spectacular way repudiated its pledges to tariff-reform, whereupon it won its only victories within the fife time of a generation. The tariff-reform time was the last tide in national poli tics. The next will be a tide of munici pal reform. As Senator Hill is the only Democratic Senator who voted against the party's great principle, so he is the most conspicuous and success ful product of corruption in municipal politics. If the cities of the State of Ner York had not been governed cor ruptly as they have been, no such career as Mr. HuTs would have been possible. A small municipal boss himBelf , it has been by the help of the municipal bosses whom he has served that he has prospered. Every thoughtful man knows that the three subjects of political vitality now before us are the tariff, the curren cy, and municipal government. It is very unfortunate for the Democratic party that its most conspicuous person ality is a man without convictions on any of these subjects, and who has done violence to right thinking and right conduct regarding all three of them PROFESS fOAL CARDS, At these low prices, or anything like them, the tendency wil be to largely in crease consumption oi cotton every where, and there will evidently be upon the part of spinners a general uisposi- tion to buy cotton greatly in excess of their wants for the season, because at these prices they can well afford to carry in the mill warehouses a large supply of cotton into the next season. There can be no question that unless the price advances very greatly by the time for planting the next crop, that the acreage devoted to cotton will be reduced to an extent that it never has been cur tailed before from one year to; another. So great a reduction in acreage would cause, beyond doubt, an advance as great and rapid as the decline has been. vhen preparations were made for planting this crop middling cotton was worth eight cents in New York, and should there be a great reduction of acreage this spring, it will be very likely to go to eight cents again soon after the next crop is planted, and the world has recognized the fact beyond dispute that the acreage has been, and consequently the supply of cotton will be greatly re duced. I sympathize deeply with the South ern people because of the great depres sion which has overtaken their staple crop, and from the manner in which cotton is beinc pushed to market, it looks to me as if, when the "advance in cotton comes, it. will not benefit the planters, because they will have sold all of their crop, and that the spinners and speculators alone will reap the ben efit of the tardv advance.

The Changing Fortunes In PoUiics. Charlotte Observer. There are those who say that the Democratic party will never rally again and there are those who say it is certain to carry the next presidential election Nobody knows anything about it ; the people do all sorts of odd ways. In 1872 lor instance, me JJemocratic party ap peared to be swamped hopelessly and yet in 1874 in carried the House and in J.876 elected its candidate for President, though they did not get the seat. Things ran along so, the-fortunes ,of the two parties varying and nearly all elections being close, until 1884, when Cleveland was elected President. "Ah ! ha! said the Democrats, "we have them now We need only to get into power once and they never will get back." But they got back in . just the same, and then the Republicans said ; "There can be no future for a party, which af ter a banishment of twenty-five, years gets back and then can't retain power for but one term, we will riot he bother ed by these Democrats hereafter." And yet these Democrats carried the . very next election and installed Cleveland as President. In the light of these facts it must ap pear to any one that speculation at present upon the result of the election of two years hence is perfectly idle.. The Democratic party may get back in power then or the Republicans may hold the government for a long period, as they did from 1868 to 1884. As a practical matter the present probabili ties are not worth while talking about, and the only point we make is that there is nothing in the result of Tues day's voting to occasion undue elation oa the one side or undue depression on the other. The thing for Democrats to do is to lay aside bickerings and get to gether, prepared to try conclusions with the enemy in 1896 and to "do their best endeavors." ; Too Much Style. The coming of the "Yankee school mistress into some of the Western States occurred soon after the general establishment of the free school system The influence of the new-comers was particularly manifest in a broadening of human sympathies. People were led to hook beyond the narrow horizon that had hitherto limited their vision. James Baldwin, in Scribner's Magazine, says that the Yankee schoolmistress was seven weeks' wonder to many of her Hoosier patrons. If she knew how to adapt herself to their modes of life, however, and could gradually and without ostentation in troduce what she believed to be better methods, she was not long in gaming their confidence. If, on the other hand, she failed to appreciate the pre judices and deprivations of those among whom she had come, her career of use fulness was not likely to be a long one "They didn't like the Yankee school missus they -Mred over to the Grassy Ridee deestrict," I overheard one farm er say to another. "Why so ? Wasn' t she a good teacher' "Well ' I reckon she did know thing or two, and she could manage the vnnh? fellers admirable. But she couldn't rest content with book teachin'. and wanted to change every body's manner of livin' right off. The Grassy folks just naturally couldn't put im with her wav of learnin me cnu dren complimerfts, anyhow." "Compliments? What's them ?' "Whv. bein' polite, you know. She tried to learn 'em Jo say, 'H you please. mum,' and 'Thank ye, sir,' and I beg vour pardon ' and all that kind of stuff And she was so blamed finicky that she didn't like for the girls to come to apVinni hnrpfnoted. and she wanted the bovs to vank off their hats at her when pvpr thev met her on the road. It was too much style for the Grassy folks, reckon." D.G CALDWELL, M.D., Offers his professional services t the people of Concord and vicinity. Office in rear of bank.

The leas a man looks like a literary man the better literary man he usually is. The Art of CompUmentinff. . How few persons know how to com pliment happily ! Henry IV. of France was wont humorously to ascribe his ear ly gray hairs to the. effect of number less wretched compliments which were paid him by a bombastic orator of his times. It was probably a decendant of that orator, who, announcing at the close of the forenoon session of a minis terial conference that Elder H. would read in the afternoon a paper on "The Devil," added: "Brother H. has a care fully prepared paper and is full of his subject."
