The legislature passed a lull per
mitting the road commissioners of
Monroe township to call an rlivtion
on a bond issue of -J,'. ikki for the
extension of the road 'ik iu this
township. This lull was introduced
at the instance of a numlier of lead
ing citizens of M mri1 township, 'alio
want to see the work of permanent
road improvement go on faster than
it will ever be possible without the
modern method of ImuIs. Another
bill, introduced by Itipresentative
McNeely, and pissed, provides that
ah election may be held f r the w hole
County on the question of a s:'iki,(K
bond issue; that in case it p.vwos.the
chain gang shall become a county
iot'itulion, tbe county commission
er shall have charge of the woik,
that the money shall he spent in
each township proportionately to the
amount of tax paid by each, and that
free labor shall be aUilished. It is
discretionary w ith the commission
era when either of these elect urns
shall be held, and neither will ever
be unless the citizens g t interested
and take the initiate.
The city of Raleigh is enjoying
municipal campaign that outshines
anything in h eal politics in theSut
in many years. The belligerents are
roughly divided into tax payers and
tax eaters. The tax eaters have been
in control oi ir.e city government tor
i long time, and it is pretty well un
derstood that no town could have
been worse governed. Things had
come to the point that a citi.ens'
league, composed of many of the
leading men of the city, was organ
ized tome months ago for the pur
pose of trying to reform the city gov
ernment. Among the leaders in the
movement are Joseph ns Ihiniels, K.
II. Battle, Jas. II J'oii, J. W. Hailey.
Joseph 0. Drown and others well
Miown. So hot lias the Tight become,
that the chief of police has been sus
pended, and Jas. II. Pun declared in
t speech yesterday that it had now
become a question of who was going
to the penitentiary. The primary is
in progress today, and it is expected
that the old office holding ring will
be put out of business.
The discussion of the tariff bill,
designated by Democratic speakers
at the "pillage ot humanity, goes
merrily on in the House. Chairman
Payne, who a head of the ways and
meant committee is nominally re pan
ible for the bill, opened up days ago
in a nine hour' speech, and Champ
Clark, the Democratic leader, replied
with a fire hours' talk. Since then
the email gum have been popping
at random, and after time the bill
will be taken up section by section
When the committee was having
bearings everybody was on band for
aomething except the consumers, and
when the bill becomes law every
body will be protected except the
consumer. That ia what protection

Fulton admitted, with exaggerated
mournfulness, that lie was begin
ning to feel very muih dicouraged
about ever regaining his dollar.
"Ioe it make you feel bud, pa
pa?" asked bis little girl, who al
ways listened to the conversation
with prave attention.
"Of course it does, Hilda. A dol
lar is a whole lot of money. How
would you like t o lose the dollar
you have in your bnnk?"
"I I'pose it would make me mot
ick," !e answered. And her par
ents, exchanging amused glances,
said nothing
When Fulton sat down at the din
ner table the next night ho asked,
as he saw a shining silver piece at
his plate, "What's this?"
"Your dollar," answered Hilda
triumphantly. "I went to Mrs.
Dwight's house today, and the door
was open, so I just thought I'd go in
and ask her if she'd 'tirely forgot
your dollar, but she wasn't around
anywhere. But it didn't matter,
for I found your dollar on the desk.
I s'pose she kept forgetting to bring
it home, so I just tooked it myself
for you, papa."
"My country!" exclaimed the as
tonished father ungratefully. "What
shall I do?"
"What can you do hut return it
and explain, said Mrs. Fulton,
who was laughing almost hysteric
ally. "What a thing it is to hare
a serious minded daughter!"

igamst the pricks, but he had to go

pulsion of duty is awful. Submit to
the unreasonable demands of life,
rather than make war in your heart.
The lowest slave is the one who does
only duty, lie is an unprofitable
servant nnpn ti'able to self, em
ployer, society. The man w ho does
his work w ithout enthusiasm and in
terest of employer at heart, is un
profitable. Such service makes the

such people.
A man of line parts who had given
years of service to bis firm, said to
the manager: "I have served you
faithfully for fifteen years, yet 'my
alary has never been increased one
dollar, nor a mure responsible posi
tion given me." "Xor ever will be,"
replied the manager. "Have I not
served you faithfully?" he asked in
ainaement. "Have I not performed
my duty in every particular?" "l're
eisely," said the employer, "and for
that reason you are unprofitable hi
me. Y ou have never taken the least
interest in improving the business,
