A society for the prevention of cruelty to dumb animals was organ ized in Raleigh yesterday in the tent where that wonderfnl horse, Jim Key, is being exhibited. There needs to be many societies in this State for tbe prevention of cruelty to dumb animals. Tbe children need to be trained to treat every dumb creature with kindnoss and gentleness, and a man who will not be merciful to a dumb animal and regard its life needs to be made to suffer at the hands of the law for bis cruelty. We may be a little over trained in regard to tbe kind treat ment of the brute creation, but we cannot see how any man can wilfully abuse and torture a poor, defenseless thing which can utter not even a word against its torturer. We need a society whose duty it is to look after the hardened men who deal unmercifully and cruelly with the dumb animals. Monroe E' quire A Sure Thing.'

A roused by the Brookl yn Etgle'i zealous rxploitation of Mr. Clave land's claims to tbe Democratic nomlration next year, the New York Herald puts in a rtnost for information ; "The Brooklyn Eagle, which ad vocatcs the tiominatit n of Mr. Cleveland for the 1'residency thinks Judge Tarker is unavailable ss a candidate lx cause he voted for I'ryin. Docs the Eagle believe that any Democrat can be elected who did not vote for Bryan f" We have not stcn the Eagle's ro ply to this iuterrogatory, supposing ttiht one bss been made, and should be very slightly ii flucnced by it iu any event. Possibly a Mugwump may occasionally set right on a question of party sentiment and policy, but the chances are all against It. Tho Herald should have applied to some Democratic organ or authority. Our own opinion is that the fact of his having repudiated the party est didate and platform in 18i)0 and 1 900 will, it least, not strengthen Mr. Cleveland, or any othcraf pirant, wi'li i lie convention of l'.)04. It is more than likely that tho policies which en US' d a few thonstnd of sol disant Democrats to vote against Mr. Bryan will be omitted from tho party declaration next year, and that the bolters of lhl0 will once more find themaol vos in harmony with the organization. We ooite expect such a (onuuriiination. But that will not change any one's opinion of the de sertion and the deserters. What ever may be (he Democratic plat form next time, the fact remains that the Chicago platform was the party creed eight years before and that those who denounced and aban doned it were party recreants. This is not to say that Mr. Cleveland's nomination is impossible. He is too strong a man to be disposed of by an argument that would effectually obliterate I). B. Hill. But certainly his attitude iu lb90 will not help him in the pursuit of any further aspirations he may cherish. Tho Democracy may forgive his apostasy. They will not applaud it. As for Judge I'rkor, of New York, of whose eminent qntlifica tions many of our Sonthern friends are talking so fluently chiefly, wo imagine, for the reason that tbey know nothing whatever about them we do not think he will be seri nnaly considered when the conven tion assembles. The fact that "be carried New York" some years ago is of no real significance. He was not running for a political office. The election involved no question of party policy. He was a candidate for the bench : he possessed con- spicnous qualifications for that posi tion ; everybody regarded bim as an honest and enlightened gentleman ; his election meant absolutely noth ing beyond that. Had be been the Democratic nominee for Governor, be would in all probability, have been beaten out of his honorable boots. He has made a good judge, no doubt ; but how is any one to say that be wonld nuke a satisfactory President ? What does the country know of his convictions as to the , great questions of statesmanship with which Presidents have to deal l What does Judge Parker, himself, know of them ) Because he inter prets Iswb with wisdom and integ rity, it does not follow that he will succeed in recommending the enac tton of wise and useful ones, Tbe two functions are not related to each other, even distantly. Tbe sum of our acquaintance with Mr. Parker is that be has made a worthy judge. He has exhibited none of the quali ties desirable, if not indispensable, in a Chief Executive, lie may possess those qualities ; be may have within himself the material of patri otic, courageous, enlightened states mansbip; but who knows it is he sure of it himself ! Coming back to the Herald's conundrum, we venture to reply in the affirmative. We believe it pos sible, but the Democrats will be wise, all tbe same, to avoid experi ments of every kind. Washington Poet. Was It Incendiary? A Greenville, N.

The dividends cannot amount to less than $1,000, 000 per annum, and may be much more. - Mr. Sage is a frugal liver. He pays $13, (MH) rent for his Fifth avenue home, and spends perhaps $10,000 more on beefsteak, ham and egits, breakfast food and white socks. He is very fond of horses, and keeps a blooded pair which are the pride of his heart. Mr. Sago's parsimony has been greatly exaggerated. Stories to the llect that he pays five cunts for his breakfast and carries graham crackers in bis pocket To munch For lunch, are fabrications; as are those rumors which credit him with using the same memorandum book over and over again, erasing former entries with a hard rubber. Russell Sage spends $25,000 a year on his living expenses. But wbon it is remembered that his in come is at least $3,000,000, this amount soems rather modest. It may be said without fear of contra diction, that Mr. Sage's income is 12,000 per cent, in excess of his ex penses. In other words, out of a yearly revenue of $3,000,000 he puts aside for "a rainy day" at loast $2,050,000. Atlanta Journal. Big Irrigation Scheme. Mr.C. M. Pri'chetf, formerly with tho D. A.

Privhett will leave for Montana, where he will a corps of engineers who have been detailed by the United States gov ernment to execute an interesting scheme for irrigating a large section of government lands. The engineers propose to turn the St. Mary's river in Montana into the Miik river in Dakota, and to do thia they mast dig a big canal between the two rivors, which are 40 miles apart. Tbe St. Mary s river is a large, bold stream that rises in tbe Rocky Mountains and flows into Canada without blessing a foot of land in the rugged soil that it tra erses. The Milk river fbws through barren soil and has not enongh water for irrigation purposes. Mr. Pritchett states that by combining the two rivers there will be a snfficieut qnantity of water in tho nearly empty bed of the Milk river to irri gate and enrich a very large acreage. It is estimated that tbe turning of one stream into the other will cost the government $2,000,000. It will require two years to complete the work. Charlotte Observer. An Open Secret of Success. Mr. John Wanamaker, who be gan business with confidence, a fsw goods nd a wheelbarrow, will erect in Philadelphia a twelve story building to cost $5,000,000. He never undertakes anything unless he has a rasonable assurance that it will succeed, and his expectations are generally realized. Mr. Wanamaker has great faith in advertising, lie says be has never found anything to pay as well as the money be bss spent in news papers in letting the people know what he has and what he is doing. He nees thousands of dollars yearly in this way, and it is clear that he finds it pays. No matter how able a business man may be, the wisest finds he must go before the public through medium that reaches the homes. Competition may be sharp, as it generally is, bnt the man of business who tells the people what he has and always keeps faith with them will surely reap the reward of hu energy. Mr. Wanamaker's success has been an incentive to many a man who has found, as he has, that noth ing pays better than advertising. Baltimore Herald. The Value of Expert Treatment.

A crop of Lettuco from two and three quarter acres of land sold a short time ago for the handsome sum of $5,000, says a writer in the 1U1 eigh Poet. The statement sounds, to the aver ago up-country farmer, who has worked brawn and muscle for five or even ten years with les returns, like an Imp ihlu story. Yet it is a plain, unvarnished statement of the fact. It wis not accomplished by theordinaiy, haphsztrd manner of farming that has so long prevailed in tho Stato among the tillers of tho soil, but by carefully studied plans, based upon scientific principles id which brain cut a more important figure tliau brawn. It was on the farm of Ilackburn and Willett, near New Bern, that we saw a novelty in tho way of modern farm equipment. They have a ateam plant by which thoy protect their early crops of lettuce. The area over which the steam pro tociion extends embraces two aud three-quarter acres. The plot is laid oil in sections or beds about ton feet wido, and through the center of each bod a steam pipo is run tho entire length. Each bid is enclosed by boards about two frut high on the north side and about one foot high on the south, and covered with heavy canvass which is removed ss the weather conditions permit. When there is danger from front or freeze the canvaes is spread and the temperature regulated by steam furnished from a largo boiler. Tho pipes are arranged so as to answer for irrigating this favored section of the farm. About every twenty or twenty-five feet a short section of pipe run up is equipped with a spray nozzle. In the boiler room is stationed a modern force pump and water is brought through a large pipe from a creek about throo hundred yards away, the sprinklers set to work and the land is thus kept at a proper degree of moisture. From this brief description the reader can see that early crops can be grown in spite of cold weather or lack of rain. From the above described two and three-quarter acres Messrs. Ilackburn and Willot finished gathering and shipping a crop of lettuce about three weeks ago that brought them the round sum of 5,000 dollars in cold cash. Since the lettuco was shipped the same ground has been prepared for encumbers and the plants or vinos are now growing rapidly. With comparatively good yield and price tbe cucumbers are expected to suit for almost as much as the crop of lettuce. Tho cucumber crop will be marketed in about sixty days, and the soil will then bo allowed to rebt till late in the fall when another crop of lettuce will be started. Mr. J'Weph Poininville, of Still water, Minn., after having spent over $2,000 with the best doctors for stomach troub'e, without relief, was advised by his druggist, Mr. Alex. Richard, to try a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. He did so, and is a wull man today.
