According

period in 1804. The failures in the
United States and Canada during

Cotton receipts have continued
large, and the market has declined
1-10 of a cent under the weight of

WW AM) THE HIKDS.
The Eagle an Aristocrat The Hiizzanl
a Democrat.
There seems to be an aristocracy
in all things, animate and inanimate,
and the hunin race is no exception
to this law of nature. The Creator
made somethings for hoimrand some
for dishonor. Jle madi' some crea
tures to rank other creatures; some
people to rank other people, and no
body has any right to make a fuss
about it. The word aristocracy
comes from the Greek word aristos,
the best, and should not be confound
ed with plutocracy, the goldbugs,
who rank money above brains and
virtue. Gold and silver are useful
metals and have always been hon
ored above other metals. Moses tells
us in the first chapter of Genesis
that the gold of that land was good.
The Creator put some gold in Para
dise, and it has ranked all metals
since. Iron and lead and copper are
far more useful, but gold ranks them.
Just so do diamonds and pearls rank
marble and granite. In vegetable
nature we find that mahogany and
rosewood and ebony and the royal
palm rank the woods that are more
j useful, such as the oak, the hickory
j and the ash. The orange and the
Upple rank other fruits. The rose
ranks the flowers and Marechal Niel
j ranks all the roses. In animal life
I the horse? stands at the head of the
list. "'He smelleth the battle from j
afar and mocketh at fear." Among
the fowls of the air we see the eagle
towering in his pride. He is of no
'account to mankind, and yet
sing:
, "Great bird ot the wilder.
lone v
ami proud.
; With an. eye never dimmed and a neck
never bowed!"
j And we stamp his image on our
meat, the other prefers that that is '
dead. But the eagle is an aristocrat i
and the buzzard is a democrat. Com-j
ing. however, down, we find the j
mockingbird ranking the fowls of the
air. He is a charming sinror. and i
best of all, he is game-he will fight. !

I have before me a letter from a man
in Northern Ohio, who says: "Tell
your people who' are discouraged
over the losses by the freeze to be
thankful they are not up here in the
North, where we have been buying
feed for our stock for six months on
account of last Summer's drouth,
and many arc suffering for the com
monest necessities of life. Our char
itable institutions are all taxed to
their utmost to relieve them: snow is
now from 13 to 20 inches deep, 'and
the mercury 20 degrees below zero,
and the icy wind blowing a gale.

spent several years in Europe, and
mingled with the common people in
their humble homes, and found them
more contented in their poverty than
ours are with their comforts of life.
They live on what we would throw to
the dogs every scrap is carefully

son or a father in the army (and
nearly every family has one or the
other), they save every penny to

able. Just think what a drain it is
upon the energies and toil of a peo
ple who have to maintain half a mil
lion soldiers as a standing army in
times of peace. No, we should not j
complain of anything down here in
the Southland, where good crops i
have for many vears blessed the far
toil, and where a man can live i
comfortably on 23 cents a day. There
is no excuse for a man to become a
tramp the laziest negro can com
mand more than that anywhere every
day in the year. Down here in Flor
ida they get from $1 to $1.23 for un

National Capital Matters.
From our Kogular l'urresiondvnt.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 2, 1803.
President Cleveland would much
prefer that Congress would pass a
bill, either in accordance with the
recommendations contained in his
special message, of with its own
ideas of what ought to be done to
enable the Government to redeem its
promises to pay when presented;
but if Congress does nothing he does
not propose to sit idle and see the
credit of the Government injured by
the lack of gold to redeem its notes.
He has given Congress a last chance
to act, but if such leading members
of the Senate as Vest and Sherman
do not misjudge the situation, the
Senate is tied hand and foot and can
not act, even if the House passes the
bill now before the Committee on
Banking and Currency, which pro
poses to carry the recommendations
of the President into effect. That
being the case, it may be set down
as certain that President Cleveland
and Secretarj' Carlisle will act. They
will issue more Ixmds to get the gold
to redeem the greenbacks and Treas
ury notes, under the specie resump
tion act of 1S73, and the President
has said that he would continue to
issue bonds as often as gold is re
quired until Congress relieves the
situation by legislation.
The Williams vs. Settle contested
election has lasted nearly two years.
When it began much bitterness was
engendered, and the two factions
premised to make a lively fight for
the seat. Diplomacy and self-interest
may cause a different termination
I to the affair. There are precedents
for concluding contested election
cases at the close of the session, and
giving the ousted member the seat
and the salary in a lump sum of $10,-
000. One member from the First
North Carolina District had this

A very shrewd politician said to
your correspondent yesterday: 4 The
outlook is that there will bono finan
cial legislation during this session of
Congress. The President is getting
ready to issue 100,000.000 worth of
: bonds. I know this to be a fact, and
that the lnds are now beiiK'nrinted
j at the Bureau of Engraving and
j Printing. The Administration does
! not now"expect any financial bill to
j iK.C((me a law. and" depends on this
large bond issue to
'large bond issue to tide over the
present stringency." Secretary Car
lisle is not in the least disturbed
about the condition of the Treasury.
He thinks there will be an increase
in the revenues of the Government
: in the Spring sufficient to supply the
I needed funds. I hope he is right in
; his calculations.
j Yesterday afternoon the President
'nominated Holmes Conrad, of Vir-
ginia, to be Solicitor General of the
: United States, and J. N. Dickinson,
i of Tennessee, to be Assistant At
torney General. Solicitor General
j Maxwell resigned his position be-
cause he could not get along' with
' Attorney General Olney.

Senator and Mrs. Jarvis left for
their homo in Greenville, N. C, Tues
day. Both were very popular in
Washington. Senator Jarvis made
in the few months he was here a rep
utation for being an honest man, a
sincere friend, a fine parliamentarian,
and a safe, judicious, and able states
man. He had not been here a month
before he foretold the present finan
cial difficulties, and said a joint cau
cus of the Democratic House and
Senate ought to be called to agree
on a financial bill that would relieve
the Treasury. His advice ought to
have been heeded.

with a chicken. The preacher's mouth
watered. "Just take it back to tho
coop, son. won t you ?'' remarked the
preacher. The boy did so.
In a moment another I oy showed
up among the callers, also with a
chicken. "'Johnny, take it back to
tho coop: I can't go out right now,"
said the parson, and Johnny took it.
When lhe preacher turned back to
shake hands again, another boy
come along bearing a chicken.
"Ahem!" said the parson, "thanks."
This was kept up until ho thought
his coop would be overtaxed, but he
said he would look out for that. Next
morning when he wont out to take
a peep and they say it was real,
real early when he made the visit
he found only one little old chicken.
A different Ixvy took the same
chicken each time. As one lxy went
out in the back yard another boy
