I'iikkk are now living two ex- Incidents, and, we believe, only one x-viee:pre?ident. -Kx-1'kksidknt Cleveland- will & lebrate his fifty -second birthday an the ISth of this month. Hilly Chandler, of Vermont, is no :!iLfT a inucu Mates senator. i'anks to the Governor of his State. l 'uncord is to have a street car ne from the depot to the center of je town, -which will haul both pas- tners and freight. ' t this writing we have received information as to the Cabinet ap- jointinents ol President Harrison lat were to be made to-day. oxnoN newspapers, contain ad- rtiscmenU of "American cast steel V tools." Does this look like our let il industries need protection? Ki'isox, the electrican, came near -in: his eyesight a day or two ago v having particles of some chemi il he was bT5iT int to flv in them.

The rw England manipulators of tin are opposed to the Republican 11 on tin plate. Next!

This is f Way t0 get rid of the surplus, but ; L5 not help us down South. We 'ing into the treasury all the hut do not ever get any money VI 11. The Morehead Banking Company will be about as solid a concern as it is possible for a bank to be. Its new Stockholders will be from among Durham's best business men. President Harrison should not forget that Cleveland received nearly hundred thousand more votes than he did in an election in which the tariff was the main, we might say, the only issue. We are glad to see the Farmers' warehouse again crowded with to-bacco;to-day. We wish the Alliance could see its way to starting a plug factory here. It would undoubtedly be a great success. If the Republicans keep up the present high tariff for the next four years, ana the .Democrats are not able to carry the next election on that issue, the party will be gone for ever as a national party. t j The Philadelphia Record says: "When it comes -to importing Chi cago dressed beef our Pennsylvania protectionists are no longer for pro tection. I hey yell for free trade with the loudest." That is the way with all of them. They want pro tection as long as it means robbing somebodv else for their benefit : but just there their desire for it ends. "The Senators do not attend pray ers. Of the 7C but 14 were present the other day. We do not know a. body that needs more the prayers of a truly pious people than the U. S Senate as now constituted." Wit mingfon Star. "Our Sam" Jones ought to devote about thirty days each year to preaching to these fel lows. You bet he would wake them up. Our legislators seem to be in good spirits, notwithstanding the many lectures they have been read of late, for having dared to vote according to their convictions on the Senator ship and railroad commission ques tions. The News & Observer of Sun day, says: "A spirit of levity pre vailed in the House of Ilepresenta tives during the session last night which manifested itself in shooting paper balls, until a well directed shot of a lemon caromed on a page's head and closed the amusement." , TOWN TALK. Shrove Tuesday. Xo Northern mail to-day. G'loncr with the new lactorv . CD projects. Telephone Exchange nearly ready for service. To-morrow will be Ash Wednes day the beginning of Lent.

The County Commissioners have ordered that "all persons charged with double tax be relieved, pro vided they settle with the Tax Col lector by the 1st of May. Take ad vantage of this offer and walk up; to the Collector's office and settle. Read the new advertisement of Mr. S.'R. Perry, dealer in groceries, in this issue of The Plant. Mr. Perry is clever and reliable and will sell you good goods at rock bpttom prices. Don't forget to drop in when on the lookout for internal improvements. DURHAM, N.

The building was to have been finished by the loth of November last, and it has been or- dered that all rents for btokes Hall, for county use, be charged from that date td the contractors.

' ; le j funeral service was' held from the College chapel at 10:30 a m. Monday, a large audience being present. ; Among them a good uum ber of Prof. Simmons' friend from Raleigh. It was . especially fitting that Dr. Y m. Rbyall, who is now the only surviving member of the first faculty of the college,- should conduct the exercises. The text for the discussion was, 'If in this life only, we have hope in Christ we are of all men most miserable. uTh6 sermon from the beginning was full of that pathetic tenderness for which Dr. Roy all is sermons are much loved.
