An interesting contest is going on
in New York city. Mr. DeLancey
Nicoll, whose untiring efforts in the
prosecution of Jake Sharp won him
many friends in all parts of the
country, is looking to be District At

force of its great power on the side
of Nicoll and honest. The friends
and sympathizers of and winkers at
the boodlers are opposing Nicoll.
The eternal conflict of good against
evil is receiving an illustration. We
are for Nicoll against the field.

she? Why just raise a few prize

in what we ought- to do." Yes, we
live on the glory of our possibilities,

brag and more work will do lots of
good.

THE GUBERNATORIAL It ACE
Many papers are busying them
selves fixing up. slates. There is
plenty of time.' Those who may
now appear available men have
nearly a year to do something that
may relegate them to the seclusion
of private life, and those who are
not now mentioned have time enough
to develope into strong candidates.
It is well enough to throw out feel
ers, and make enquiries and endeav
or to ascertain the drift of public
sentiment, but it is too soon to "set
the west on fire," "solidify the east,"
or. put up "winning tickets," the
convention will attend to all that in
due season.
Important question. What sort of
platform ought the Democratic party
adopt next year? There is some di
versity of opinion. All do not agree
on the internal revenue. There are
many shades of opinion on the tariff.
There are some m titterings on the
county government question. The
working men and knights of labor
and prohibitionists fancy they have
cause for complaint, and are either
setting up for themselves or joining
the' Republicans. The platform
ought to be drawn in all h on sty
and fairness, and then some men
nominated whose character and ca
reer are the embodiment ofthe prin
ciples set forth in the platform. We
are always too hasty about this mat
ter anyhow. The platform ought to
be settled first, before any nomina
tions. Our sister States usually at
tend to that matter first. We go into
a convention, appoint a committee
on resolutions, proceed ' with the
nominations, and when nearly all
interest in the convention is dead,
the committee reports,with a hurrah,
the platform and the motion to ad
journ are almost simultaneously car
ried, and we go home not knowing
what principles we have avowed,
thinking only of the success of the
candidate for that one campaign, giv
ing but little thought to the cam
paigns that follow. We must try to
adopt a platform that declares what
is right for all time as well as what
is expedient for the present -
If the press will go to work and
provide planks for the use of the
committee on resolutions, a good
work may be done.
Who
ROTATION OF CROPS.
The time i3 almost at hand when
preparation for another year's plant
ing must be made. The Farm, Field
and Stockman in a pointed manner
reiterates the doctrines that have
been advocated for years. Diversify.
Pvotate. Let the reasons of the wri
ter be studied :
Prof. J. W. Sanborn, of the Mis
souri Agricultural college, in a bulle
tin lately issued, reporting experi
ments in crop rotation, gives the fol
lowing which are valuable upon the
philosophy of rotation.
Flotations are valuable because
plants vary iri the area ofthe soil in
winch the roots grow, and from which
they derive the sustenance of the
plant, thus more completely utiliz
ing the soil within their reach.
There is a remarkable variation in
the power of plants to appropriate
the various elements of plant growth,
due, at least in part, to the character
of the acids secreted by their roots.
Thus, one plant, like clover, has a
high power of gathering uitrogen,
and another, like wheat, a very low
power.
Plants vary in their weight of roots,
as an illustration, clover, carrying
several times the weight of roots that
wheat, does, it will be seen that inas
much as clover roots are very much
richer in nitrogen than wheat, and
carry enough nitrogen to grow a crop
of wheat, that wheat will most ad
vantageously follow clover. Thus,
likewise, other plants follow -ach
other advantageously.
Rotation of crops baffles, in a large
measure, the root enemies, both in
sect and fungus, that prey upon them.
Each plant having its own peculiar
enemies, changing of plants remove s
them to fie'ds unoccupied by such
enemies. This is true of the above
ground growth of plants to an im
portant degree.
Plants vary in the amounts of the
varying elements of nutrition actu
ally taken up in growth ; thus while
wheat takes only one and one-fourth
pounds of potash for every pound of
phosphoric acid, potatoes take three
and one-fourth pounds of potash for
each pound of phosphoric acid. Con
tinuous " growth of potatoes would
exhaust the potash of the soil or of
"supplied manure long before the
phosphoric acid would give out
The leaves of plants vary in their
power of gaining food and of vapor
izing water, and are roughly divided
into broad and narrow leaves.
Leaves vary in their season uf ac
tive growth. Those plants maturing
in mid-summer and early fall gener
ally gather nitrogen (corn and tur
nips are good examples), following
in their growth the decomposing in
fluence ofthe sun, more easily and
fully than other crops' do.x
Rotation conserves soil fertility
and yet aids in soil decomposition
by alternation of grass, or cover
crops and hoed crops. Under a con
tinuation of plow and tillage crops,
leaching, volutization and washing
of fertility is rapid and nlay be, or is
more than carried away by crops,
especially so of nitrogen.
Rotation of crops distributes labor
over the year; and therefore econo
mizes labor and gives regular help
and aids in the solution of the labor
problem of the farm.
STRAWS.
The Washington Star enumerates
a few straws that seem to indicate
the direction of the wind :
"Mr. Powderly's supporters iri the Knights
of Labor frankly admit that the membership
of the order has suffered a considerable re
duction during the year; but they point with
satisfaction to the fact that the twenty per
cent, who have left are people whose loss will
not be felt except for good. 1 hey are gener
ally, the malcontent element, who joined the
order without understanding its objects, or
with the notion that they would find little
difficulty in running it after their own fashion
and for their own ends. Ihese men have
found fault With the rarity of strikes and the
crushing out of boycotts. There are threats
ot -fresh trouble, moreover, because the I ow
derly faction insist on conducting the delib
erations of this society like thoseof any other
orderly American body, while a certain clique
want to bring in beer-drinking as one of the
regular attractions, and give the meetings of
the Knights the air of foreign socialist gath
erings. It seems to be pretty well settled in
advance that there will be a .battle at Min
neapolis, ending in a victory for Mr. Pow
derly, who will probably not only be con
tinued in office, but have his powers materi
ally extended. The order may not be
strengthened in numbers by the controversies
which have been waged within it for some
years, but it is certainly improved in every
other way."
The Wilmington Daily Messenger
is 3 months old. We have never be
fore seen so lusty an infant It is a
great paper, full of news, excellent
editorials and bright locals. If we
were to say exactly what we think
it would be to the effect that the
Messenger is the best newspaper in the
State. 'It certainly keeps both eyes
and ears open.
Charlotte Chronicle: Mr. Egbert
Harty, who was so brutally assaulted
by a waiter in the Eutaw House,
Baltimore, about September 5th, ar
rived home yesterday, having suf
ficiently recovered as to be able to
travel. His mother, who has been
writh him constantly since the day
following the affair, accompanied
him home. The wound on Mr.
Hartv's head is healing rapidly and
he will soon be himself again. Mad
den, the waiter who assaulted him,
has never been heard from since he
disappeared from the Eutaw dining
room.
A drunken engineer on the Wa
bash southbound train was prevented
from creating disaster, and also from
committing suicide, Wednesday last,
by the vigilance of his fireman. He
tried to jump from the car window.
Michael Davitt, the famous Irish
agitator, and Consul-General Walker
have arrived in New York. Mr. Da-
vitt says he is in search of rest and
recuperation, and will make no pub
lic appearance there.
God is entitled to the supreme
place in our hearts. It would de
grade him to accept less, and would
be unworthy of us to offer it.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
An Interesting Melange of Newsy
Items.
Mrs. Cleveland's imported Jersey
heifer, recently presented to her by
George W. Child's, has arrived and
is now in the stables at Oak View.
This heifer, which is said to be a
perfect type of the Jersey cow, has
had considerable experience in trav
eling, having been bought by Mr.
Childs in its native island in the
English Channel. As soon as Mrs.
Cleveland heard of the arrival of her
present, she went right out to see it
and patted it and caressed' it until
they were in a fair way of becoming
friends. During the summer, Mrs.
Cleveland has attended a small
Episcopal church, known as St. Al
ban's, near Oak View. The rector
of this church is the Rev. A.J. Falls,
formerly of the Diocese of North
Carolina, and a son-in-law of Col.
Walton, the proprietor of the Glen
Alpine Springs, near Morganton.
The yacht race between. the This
tle and the Volunteer excited So
much interest in New York that the
offerings of bonds on that day fell
below a million for the first time
since September 21st, the. date of
the issue of the circular. The total
amount offered on that day was
717,S5. The demand for money
has j heavily decreased, and it is
thought the recrnt action of the
Treasury Department has entirely
relieved the stringency of the money
market.
Secretary Lamar has returned to.
the k-ity very much improved in
health.
- I learn on good authority that the
President will not fill the vacancy
on the Supreme court bench until
after his return from his Southern
and Western trip. One of the most
strongly endorsed men for the posi
tion j is Judge Semmes of New Or
leans. It is generally conceded by
those who have no political axes to
grind that a Louisiana man ought to
have the place. One of the strongest
reasons urged for this is that Louisi
ana ias nearly twice as many cases
before the Supreme court of the
United States as all the other States
composing that judicial circuit put
together. Judge Semmes is a broth
er of the late Confederate Admiral
Semmes of Alabama fame. He is
considered one of the ablest lawyers
in the South and has amassed a for
t une! from a law practice whichyields
him an income much larger than
the salary f a Supreme court judge.
Major McClammy and Col.'F. W.
Clnrk are in the city.
The endorsement of the President's
policy by the Saratoga convention
is very gratifying to his friends in
this bity. ( )f course it was expected,
but it is impossible to count with
certainty on some of the elements
which compose the New York De
mocracy. An ovation will be tendered ex
Governor Shepherd by the citizens
ofthe District when he returns to
the (,Mty. The development of theJ
most beautiful parts of the city is
said jto be due to the efforts of Gov.
Shepherd. The workinmen in the
city :have Tefused to allow their or
ganisations to take part in the pa
rade because they object to the con
traetjor w ho builds the stand ! The
Labor party will be a powerful lac
tor in the politics of the future, if its
leaders will pursue a reasonable,
conservative course. But if they
continue to quibble about such tri
fling matters as the above, which is
only one instance out of fifty that
has Recently come under my notice,
they will never secure the support
of the mass of plain-thinking men.
Secretary F'airchild is in the city
and Jwill have an interview with the
President to-day on the financial
situation, before the Chief Executive
leaves.
The special train hired by the
President for his trip, is said to be
the handsomest and most complete
in the world, and although it con
sists of only two palace cars, a bag
gage and supply car, it represents
$2U0,(J0O. The work on these pal
ace cars is said to be the most elabo
rate ever done by the Pullman com
pany1. An engine and dynamo in
the forward car will furnish electric
lighti and bells for the train.
Chief Justice Waite and Justice
Matthews say the case of the con
demned anarchists cannot be brought
before the Supreme court unless the
constitution or some Federal statute
are; involved. The fact that the trial
was one of extraordinary importance,
they say has no bearing on the ques
tion ofthe Supreme court's jurisdic
tion oyer the case.
Flat River Item.
Rev J. R. Underwood has iust
closed a protracted meeting at Mt.
laoor cnurcfi on the (ranvule cir
cuit, with about fifteen converts as
the result of the meeting, all of
whom joined the church. Mr. Un
derwood is very acceptable to our
circuit! Yours, M.
Stop and Weigh.
One(mofning an enraged country
man came into Mr. M.'s store with
very angry looks. He left a team in
the street, and had a good stick in
his hand.
"Mr M.," said the angry country
man, "I bought a paper of nutmegs
here in your store, and when I got
home hey were more than half wal
nuts ; and that's the young villain
that I bought them o" pointing to
John, j
"John," said Mr. M.,"did you sell
this man walnuts for nutmegs ?"
"No, sir," was the ready reply.
"Yod lie, you young villain !" said
the countryman, still more enraged
at his assurance.
VNow, look here," said' John. "If
you had taken the trouble to weigh
your nittmegs, you would have found
that I put in the walnuts gratis."
"Oh, you gave them to me, did
you?"
"Yes, sir I threw in a handful
for the children to crack," said John,
laughing '.at the same time.
"Well, now, if you ain't a young
scamp," said the countryman, his
features relaxing into a grin as he
saw through the matter.
Much hard talk and bad blood
would be saved, if people would stop
to weigh things before they blame
others. , i
"Think j twice before you
once," is an excellent motto.
