From that excellent and conserva tive literary weekly The Baltimorean, published by Messrs. Crutchfield & Haas, we take the following : rhe recent Democratic cyclone has had in political affairs an effect very similar to that produced in the natural world by a real storm. Many very small men have been whirled by the wind so far above their proper level that they have begun to imagine that they originated the whole convulsion and directed the political forces which put it in motion. A rotten leaf or a piece of chaff hurled through the air by a tempest might probably imagine, if they were endowed with imagination, that they were soaring by their own unaided strength and, could keep on doing so without outside help. Yet as soon as the wind goes down, they go down with it and discover that they were about the very smallest things connected with the disturbance. These reflections are suggested by the impudent and absurd attitude as sumed since the recent elections by Governor Hill, of New York, and that corrupt combination of politicians, known as the Tammany Society. Hav ing been saved temporarily from a sound chastisement by the popular in dignation excited against republican ism by Speaker Reed and the McKin ley bill, these people, reeking, with years of political corruption, and foul with jobs and official wrong doing, come forward and attempt to seize the lion's share of a victory that was won not through their help, but in spite of it. It is calmly announced that Gov ernor Hill, who is nothing if not a trickster, lays claim to the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and I w whP hp i wait; fnr th.nt he will I stay his royal appetite by swallowing the United States Senatorship from ! New York, kicking it away from him contemptuosly as soon as the greater office is vacant. The unblushing effrontery with which these legitimate heirs and successors of the Tweed regime undertake to as sume the leadership and management of the Democratic party is simply with out a parallel, and has already excited strong indignation among the rank and file of the Democracy in all sec tions of the country. In the first place. Governor Hill will be no credit able addition to the United States Senate. He is a man of very ordinary ability, and New York could find a hundred Democrats far worthier in tellectually of the honor. But in ad dition to this his political methods and principles unfit him for such a place. . He is a political sharper, and would carry with him into the Senate his petty trickery and low code of ethics. There are enough small politi cians in the Senate already. Let us have a few statesmen by way of change. 13ut while the rest of the country may not be able to control New York's choice for Senator, it can and will have something to say upon the ques tion of the Presidency. It does not propose to have New York, or rather a small faction of the Democratic party in that State, dictate the Democratic Presidental nominee, nor say who shall or shall not recieve that honor. As for Governor Hill and his friends they might as well lay aside their aspira tions in that direction now as later, and the sooner they do so, the less sus pense and disappointment they will have to endure. For they should clearly understand that under no cir cumstances now conceivable can Gov ernor Hill ever be elected President of the United States. He is so thoroughly identified with the spoils system and all that involves, and with all the prac tices and methods that tend to degrade politics and lower official honor, that the indeiendent voters, who now hold the balance of power in this country, would regard his election to the Presi dency as little short of a national calamity, and would vote against him with a unanimity that would ensure his defeat beyond a doubt. It is absurd, however, to argue seri ously the possibility of the nomination of such a man as Hill. He is at present like the leaf that the wind has carried up into the sky and imagines that he is flying in his native sphere. He will drop after awhile to his true place. The man the country wants as the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1S92 is Grover Cleve land, and the Democratic party will ignore that sentiment at its peril. The recent victory was the reaffirmation by the people of their demand for the consummation of the three reforms which Mr. Cleveland championed so earnestly when he was at the head of the government. They comprise the 1 three chief articles ot the popular faith , . . w, r-, ' . , , and desire, and Mr. LIeeland is too closely associated with them in the s pubiic confidence and hope to permit i i t the standard to be transferred to other hands without the almost absolute cer- . - . r ,. ,, - tainty of disaster. Ballot reform, or i fair and honest elections, civil service in their nature to give way to any others until they are finally and satis factorily disposed of. With all of these Mr. Cleveland is so closely con nected by his public services and by the strong ties of confidence which his character and high patriotism have created that his renomination is almost essential to Democratic success. New York is no longer absolutely necessary to the Democratic party, and even if Hill, Dana and their associates should again attempt to knife him as they did in 1888 their wrath will prove harm less and impotent. The country" de mands Cleveland, and it will have him, and the spoilsmen and the politi cal pothunters had better get out ol the way, if they do not want to get hurt. ABOUT YANKEES. We Want Men of Brain and Muscle and Means, and a Will to Do with these God given Talents to Help Build up the Waste Places and Devel op the: Hesources of the South. TDurham Globe. J Some of the papers of the State are now talking about Yankees, and the Wilson Advance wants permission of the Globe to call Western and North ern men Yankees, but it wants at the same time to invite them to North Carolina to live. The Globe wants to say this about the subject while it is being discussed and while its name is being used : During the war, when passion blind and narrow and selfish on both sides swayed the people, an epithet which still will cause the blood to boil in some of the Northern men was fas tened to the Union soldier. The term Yankee originated, we believe, some time ago a long time ago, up in the pine woods of the New England States long about the time that Yankee Doodle went to town on a load of switches and subsequently lammed the English, but the war title is the ac ceptance these days. And this is why, when the South wants the people from all over the world to come here to lo cate, the Globe thinks that jim crow newspapers should hold their yawp concerning Yankees and what the name carries with it. The Northern man or the Western man who falls in upon this country to live, says nothing J about the " Johnny Rebs;" he says nothing that he might say and which would be distasteful. The war is over and should be forgotten, so far as our industrial interests are concerned. What we want to come here not Yankees but MEN. The word it simple, but it carries all the weight that is necessary with it. Let men of brain and mucles and wealth no mat ter about their religion or politics come among us ; let them become citizens of the Old North State, and let we fel lows already here welcome them. We need them to help us develop our mineral deposits ; to open up rich agricultural land which has never been touched by a plow ; to set wheels in motion which shall fashion our forests into articles of use; to help and aid in a thousand ways to make this what it should be the greatest and grandest country under the sun. And so the Globe believes that any name that might by some be considered distaste ful ; which might cause the stranger to feel that he was not welcome, should be dropped out of the catalogue, and other words, meaning more, adopted. This country is only lacking more men and women lacking wealth to develop, and then she will take no back seat for any state or section in the broad union. She has the resourced, she has climate, she has society all in fact, except the men and money to de velop. So let us hold our yawps about Yankees and Yankeedom let us pre sent our invitation and make it gener al to men and women over all the world to come and live among us. Those North and' West would be more acceptable now, but let them come from the four quarters of the globe, and let us ask them no ques tions. SENATOR VANCE. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, says : "It is a source of general satisfaction among Democrats, who have been here since the election, to know that Senator Vance is certain of re-election. He is regarded as one of the ablest men in public life, and certainly he is one qf the most genial." Grenada, Miss., June 27, 1889. W. McBride, Esq., with Radam's Microbe Killer Co., Nashville.

Our Correspondent Writes. Enter ' tainly of Men audJMeasurea in and Around the National Capital' Special Uorretpondence of the Gold Leaf. Washington, D. C, Nov. 27, 1890. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine can not continue their change of mind on the part of one of them. That be comes plainer and plainer every day with those familiar with the inside workings of the administration. Mr. Harrison has finished his message, and it has been shown to every member of the Cabinet, except Mr. Blaine. The reason for this action on the part, of Mr. Harrison is that he has gone di rectly contrary to the views of Mr. Blaine on at least two important mat ters dealt with by the message, and he has delayed showing the message to Mr. Blaine, fearing that it might cause an open row between them. Of course it will have to be shown to the Secre tary of State before Congress meets but there will be no trouble, so far as Mr. Blaine is concerned. He made his mind when the McKinley bill be came a law that the Republican party was doomed, and since that time he has not bothered his head with mat ters outside of his hobby, reciprocity. The leaders of his party have nearly all turned to him as the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness, and that is what is so galling to Mr. Harrison, in the shape of a re-nomination ; but one of Mr. Blaine's warmest and closest friends told me that unless there should come a great change in the prospects of the Republican party before 1892, Mr. Blaine will under no circumstances accept the nomination, one defeat being quite enough for him. Unless a prominent Government official is off in his predictions, there will be a vacancy in the office of Com missioner of Pensions between this and January, Mr. Harrison having fully decided that Raum shall go. The Congressional lame ducks among the Republicans are all trying to pick out something under the Government that will enable them to keep hold of the public teat after the 4th of next March, but it will be a difficult matter to provide for even a small number of them. One of the principal occupations of the Republican leaders just now is stiffening up the political backbones of the small-fry Congressmen as they get in. About three out of four of them want to revise the McKinley tariff law at the coming session. That, the leaders are determined to prevent if possible. Several of the candidates for Speaker of the next House have opened head quarters here, but there are not enough of the members-elect of the Fifty-second Congress yet here to make any thing like a lively contest. But they will all be here a little later, as an extra session is believed to be almost certain, which will make it necessary to elect the Speaker about nine months earlier than if there were no meeting until December next. The Farmers' Alliance and its future movements is much discussed by re turning Congressmen, and many of them believe that a consolidation of it and the labor organizations will take place before the next Presidential cam paign. The Republicans fear the or ganization most, because it antagonizes the principles of that party most. With two or three exceptions any good Dem ocrat could support the platform of the Alliance. The fight for free and unlimited sil ver coinage is to be renewed as soon as Congress meets and a powerful weapon, in the appointment of a suc cessor to Chairman Conger, of . the House committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures, who resigned to go to Brazil as U. S. Minister, is in the hands of Speaker Reed. Mr. Reed is one of the bitterest opponents of free coinage, in the House, but for all that it is not certain, although it is not probable, that he will put an anti-silver man at the head of that committee. The committee is said to be now evenly divided on the question, so that in de ciding upon the new member of the committee, Speaker Reed will realy de cide whether the committee shall report a free coinage bill. , ; ; Speaking of Mr. Reed, the Republi cans are verv much worried because certain Democrats have determined - . -. that a Democratic committee of the next uouse snaa investigate me metn- ods by which ne was elected. inere is no cumcss, uor m uie w uc, , is Deneveu iuai an uivesuxaiiuu iu that district will show up a great deal of Republican crookedness, and the Democrats propose doing it. Many Democrats think the Repub lican Congressional apportionment bill should be opposed on the ground that : the census has not been correctly totpn Of r-!-irs 5F tIia "Roniihlicana ! can keep a quorum of their own men on the floor of the House no amount of opposition can prevent its passage but it may not be amiss to show up certain things about the census. Mr. Harrison has shut his eyes to the results of the recent elections, and made up his mind to urge in his annual message to Congress the passage by the Senate of the Force bill and by the House.of the notorious ship subsidy bills. In short, he has, in spite of the protests of some of. the moat far-; seeing members of his party, in- i ciuaing Air. .Blaine, determined to cast his lot with the radical wing of the Republican party. That however does v,VTi k;u not mean that the Force bill will . be passed. All indications are against its nassas'e. as it is certain that more rte - publican Senators would now vote against it than would have done so at the last session of Congress had it then reached a rote. . Mr. Harrison will also, it is said, strongly endorse the McKinley tariff act in his message. Democrats fear that these things are too good to be true. They can hardly realize that their opponents should be willing to do so much toward Demo cratic success in 1892. There are good reasons for believing that as soon as Congress meets bills will be introduced by Republican Sen ators trom the .Northwest, modifying or repealing sections of the new tariff law which bear down heavily upon the citizens of the States they represent. it is Denevea that DUls Dlacinsr binding twine on the free list, and reducing the duty on ready made clothing would re ceive the votes every Republican Sena tor from west of the Mississippi river ; ind there is some talk about a combi nation which in return for the votes of several Republican Senators from the Eastern States for these measures, shall repeal all duties upon new mate rials. Snch bills could easily be gotten through the House, as it is a fact well known here that at least twenty-five members of the House voted for the McKinley bill under protest, and only because they lacked the moral courage to stand the lashes of the party whip which was given them unsparingly whenever they evinced a disposition to kick outside the party traces. Mr. Blaine is now engaged in per forming his celebrated reciprocity act. He hopes to save the moribund old Republican party by holding out glit tering inducements to the people of what will be accomplished in the fu ture, and by ignoring the injury inflict ed upon them at this time, which they have resented so effectually by their votes. Mr. Blaine has a long head, and his brain is an active one, but he cannot bamboozle the American peo ple, who know that real reciprocity with the whole world would be a grand thing for us, but who know also that the reciprocity , with a string tied to it, provided for, or rather alleged to be provided for, by the McKinley tariff law, is a fraud pure and simple. Oh no, Mr. Blaine, the people have been juggled with too long in the "protec tion" line to be caught by the false glitter of your "reciprocity." The Treasury surplus has been re duced so low lately that it is said com pleted pension cases are held up in the Pension Office because the Treasury wanted a chance to get in some more money before honoring another draft of the Commissioner of Pensions, who drew $19,000,000 last month. It be comes plainer every day that the de ficit prophesied by the Democrats at the last session of Congress for the next fiscal year will exist. Not satisfied with having served no tice upon Senator Quay that he must vacate his position as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, there is an element in the Republican party that wants to depose Speaker Reed from the leadership of his party in the House, and the proposition has been boldly put forth that the compliment ary nomination for Speaker of the next House be given to some other Repub lican. There might be something in this if there was anybody else to lead the Republicans, but Reed is about the only prominent Republican that was re-elected, and the chances are that he would have gone with the rest if the election in Maine had not taken place before the tariff bill went into effect ; and they will have to follow him or nobody. Tab Heel. TWO PICTURES. LDurham Globe Here are two pictures. Look at them. They will not hurt your eyes. One of them will cause you to rejoice. And one of them will cause you to sorrow. In Nebraska to-day, the Governor of that State is presiding at a public meeting called for the pur pose ot raising money to send to the farmers in the western part of the State, who are suffering. Suffering with cold and hunger. And who are those farmers ? They are sturdy and honest sons of toil, men who went to that God-forsaken and drouth-burned country with money and their families, went there on the misrepresentation of railways and land agents. They ieu mio me cnattie mortgage man s hands poverty drove them in this path, and to-day these men are asking alms. Nebraska has 1,200,000 peo pie. Over a million, and thousands of them are almost starving. They cannot get away ; they have every thing their little household good 1 t . m t mere, ana tne mortgage nena has a 1 clutch upon the chatties and upon the throats who once owned them.

Under Southern skies ; a climate not approached in the United States ; warehouse floors groaning with to bacco ; farmers prosperous, happy, contented ; wheels buzzing and fur naces glowing ; long Saturday night payrolls and ample money to pay them and to spare and yet idiots see politics in the way of coming to this heaven-blessed country.

OF THE FD- An English Newspaper's Comments on tne (irowth and Development Everywhere Apparent. In commenting on the growth of the South as shown by statistics furnished to it by th eBaltimore Manufacturers' Rec ord, an able and conservative English paper the City Leader, of London, says : The city is full of rumors regarding a coming boom in American lands. Extraordinary statements are being made as to the Southern States, which, if correct, must make that district the bonanza of the future. Sir Lowthian Bell's advice to the members of the orn and Steel Institute, to inspect the iron works of the Southern States, ' where the national resources are so numerous," has done much to direct the English mind to the wonderful de velopments now in progress in those districts. The return of the delegates is awaited with some expectation, as their statements will, we think, be fa vorable to the country ; for no one can study the remarkable combination of resources which the South enjoys with-1 out being convinced that, in natural I advantages, this section of the country I stands far ahead of any other country in the world. In climate, soil, rivers, mineral and timber wealth nature seems to have done her very best for the South. Although crippled by a disastrous ana aepioraoie war, she is now again eading the van of American progress. And it is largely Northern capital which is aiding her in her rise, and firmly cementing a union that legisla tion could never perfect. The whole country pulsates with industrial activ ity. Districts which a few years back were wholly occupied by farms, or which were unreclaimed from the for est, are now becoming centers of im portant manufacturing and commer cial industries. The cry is no longer " Go West, but South. Pennsylvania iron masters are realizing the meaning of this Southern competition in coal and iron, whilst many Northern industries are being transferred en bloc to the more favorable district where material and transportation are cheaper. Ihere is no doubt but that the cen ter of industrial development is grad ually being transformed from the North to the South. Mr. Carnegie, indeed, regards " the South as Penn sylvania's most formidable industrial enemy in the future." Another au thority, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, says " the South is the bonanza of the future, while equally potent is the D. the ad- statement made by Hon. Wm. Kelley, declaring " the South is coming El Dorado of American venture." But coming nearer home, and to an authority better known to English people, we will quote Sir Low thian Bell. He states: "Ultimately there seems nothing, so far as our present knowledge permits us to judge, to prevent these Southern States from becoming the cheapest iron-making centers in the Union," a prophecy not far from fulfillment. Despite Wall Street manipulations, 1 despite low prices of steel and iron, and all other causes which generally retard the development of a country, the South is still moving forward with accelerated step. Nothing seems to check it. From the Potomac river to the Rio Grande there is nothing but progress. Ten years ago the wealth of the Southern States was computed at $ 44,000,000,000; now that wealth is estimated to be 64,000,000,000 ; an increase ot Z2.000.000.000 for every year during the past decade. How rapid the tide is flowing South ward a few hard facts will show. The miles of railroad built in the United States during the first half of the pres est year, were 1,898, of which 1,114 were built in the South. Even increased railroad facilities cannot cope with the amount of freight business the Southern States have placed within their hands. During the past nine months upwards of 3,000 new enterprises, including almost every new line of industry, from the small saw mill to the great steel and iron works, have been organized, whilst the first week of last July saw started over 1 2 industrial undertakings, the aggre gate capital of which exceeded I12,- 000,000. Take, finally, the furnace increase. Of the 36 iron furnaces now under construction in the United Slates, 25 are in the South. More over, while there are few or no other new furnaces projected in other parts of the country, there are probably at least 20 that will be put under con tract in the South during the next few months. Such details are significant enough. But admitting all this indus trial activity, the question naturally suggests itself: Is the boom likely to be a real one? or, to use an Ameri- nnicm Vios it rrtm n e3 A ftmr 9 nersonal inspection of those districts affected by the progressive movement, we are bound to confess that we have considerable faith in the boom. Speaking generally, we believe the Southern boom to be a real and solid affair. The resources of coal and iron are inexhiustible. The minerals crop out upon the sides of the mountains and ; valleys and give no trouble in working, whilst trucks can be loaded by gravita tion from the minesThe important point however, is that most of the furnaces of the Southern States have their sup plies of iron ore, coal and limestone at their doors. Consequently, in the im portant item of transportation alone they have a great advantage over their competitors in Pennsylvania and other Northern and Western States, whose freight bills are particularly heavy. And further, the Southern iron-masters have generally water transporta tion of the most perfect kind which has the beneficial effect of keeping down railroad rates. Hence whilst new furnaces are rapidly being blown in in the South, despite declining prices, many of the Pennsylvania fur naces are lying idle" in preference to selling their products without a mar gin of profit or at actual loss. WHICH WILLYOU TAKE ? Entering the office ef a well known merchant I lifted my eyes and found myself confronted with the brightest and most thrilling temperance lecture I ever steered myself against in the whole course of my life. It was an inscrip tion marked with a pen on the back of a postal card nailed to the desk. The inscription read as follows : WHICH? WIFE OR WHISKEY? THE BABES OR THE BOTTLE? HOME OR HELL? "Where did you get that, and what did you nail it up there for?" I asked the merchant. "I wrote that myself and nailed it up there," was his reply, "and I will tell you the story of that card. Some time ago I found myself falling in the armicing namt. 1 wouia run out once in awhile with a customer or at the invitation of traveling men, or on every slight occasion that offered. I soon found that my business faculties were becoming dulled, that my stom ach was continuallyouL of sorts, my appetite failing, and constant craving for alcoholic stimulant, becoming dominant. I saw tears in the eyes of my wife, wonder depicted on the faces of my children and then I took a long look ahead. "One day I sat down at this desk and half unconsciously wrote the in scription on this card. On looking at it upon its completion, its awful reve lation burst upon me like a flash. I nailed it up there and read it over a hundred times that afternoon. That night I went home sober, and have not touched a drop of intoxicating liquor since. You see how startling is its alliteration. Now I have no liter ary proclivities and I regard that card as an inspiration. It speaks out three solemn warnings every time I look at it. The first is a voice from the altar, the second from the cradle, and the third and last from " Here my friend's earnestness deep ened into a solemn shaking of the head and with that he resumed his work. I do not think I violate his confi dence by repeating the story of that card. In fact, if it should lead to the writing of similar cards to adorn other desks I think he will be immeasurably gratified. Saturday Evening Call. Skillful Grafting. A remarkable surgical operation has been performed in the Charity Hospit al, New YorkT which is no less than an attempt to graft the bone of a dog to the leg of a boy. The boy, whose name is Johnny Gethius, has suffered since his birth with a weak and mal formed leg which was surely making him a cripple for life. He consulted a large number of surgeons at difierent limes ana naa seven operations per- lormed. t many, he called upon Dr. A. M. Phelps, of the New York Uni versity, who conceived the idea of replac ing the diseased bone with the healthy bone of a dog. Accordingly the oper ation was performed, but whether it will prove successful or not is as yet unknown. The dog's bone is not yet entirely severed from him, in order to keep it alive until grafted to the boy The dog is encased in plaster of Paris and can only move his head and wag his tail. enterprise is the nic ot a commu nity. Take two cities and contrast them, and it will be found, other things being equal, that the city that is most enterprising is most prosperous.But enterprise must be regulated. It mustbe directed with wisdom and prosecuted with energy, energy win make a busy people, but it takes the combina tion of energy and wisdom to make a a business people. New Berne Jour nal.
