The newspapers of Sui th Dakota bare been rather vigorous in their denials of the reports of destitution among the farmers in that State, but now comes the State com missioner of agriculture asking assistance for the farmers of several counties.- Jest- how the North Dakota newspapers hope to serve their eonstitue'nts by as sisting to withhold aid ia not clearly understood. Washington Post The North Carolina penitentiary farm on the Roanoke river is as suming large proportions, ine general supervisor reports that the new quarter for the convicts are nearly ready. There are 19G hands on the farm, 70 on the Halifax side and 12C on the Northampton side. They will work 75 horses, will plant 1,000 acres in cotton, 800 acres in corn, 400 acres in clover, 400 acres in oats, and have now 100 acres in wheat, besides some rye and clover already in Baltimore Sun. The Republican Philadelphia Telegraph hopes' Mr. Cleveland will be nominated by the Democrats in 1892, because, in that case, if the Repablioans ebould be beaten which, of course, it treats as wildly improbable "the Evening Tele graph, in common with the entire country, would have the satisfac tion of knowioe that a man of signal ability in statecraft, as in other things, a man of strong con victions, with the absolute courage to maintain tbem, a man honorable, patriotic and sincere, would be the Chief Magistrate of his country for another four years." Mb. Sioth is one of the foremost men in this country in intellectual culture. He occupies a conspicu ous position amonc leaders of thought. Powerful as a writer. gifted as a speaker, he is also one of the first newspaper men in the country in executive ability. Be sides tlh this, Mr. Smith has tact, real diplomacy. Of course, it would better for this country, and for civilization, to ' have a Democrat lunch every day with the Czar; but since it must be a Republican, why, then, God speed you, Charles Emory Smith, polished scholar and genial gentleman, that you are. Charlotte Chronicle. The planters in upper Halifax and lower Warren are getting stirred, in the matter ol negro agents and their designs, and they are making it somewhat lively for these terrors to the farmers. The Messenger foresaw and forewarned that if these nuisances pertinacious ly continued their work that they would seriously injure the farmers It was therefore urged that after January the work of tolling off be discontinued until the next crop had been made and gathered, or there would be great embarrass meats and loss visited upon the farmers of the State. Bat driven from the New Berne section they turn up in the Halifax-Warren sec tion, and seem bent on woiking their scheme in spite of protest or injury. The people are long suffer ing up to a given point, and when that is gone beyond lookout. Wil mington Messenger. M0BXOXISX. Once it was said that "slavery and polygamy are twin relics of barbarism." Without considering the truth fulness of this assertion, we know that slavery is dead, and it now seems that polygamy has received its death wound. Mormonism was intended to give the sanction of religion to polyg amy, ana unuer me protection eagis of "liberty of conscience," it has been tolerated in this Chris tian land. But its days are num bered. At the late eiection in Salt Lake City the Gentiles swept the field (or the first time. Leading Mormons profess to be lieve that the issue of the election will have no effect eu the question of polygamy. They may deceive themselves ; they cannot deceive others. The judgment of the Christian world is opposed to there, and now, since the local election has gone against them, they must go down before the on lightened senti ment of mankind as the grass falls in a prairie fire. The tenacity with which the Mormons have clung to their faith has been one of the most striking incidents of history ; but now their doom is sealed. The result was inevitable. The Mormons could no more check the inarch of civilization and Christi anity across the continent than they could dam the Niagara. Let us trust that here is added testimony to the ever accumulating evidence that the kingdoms of this world will Boon become the kingdoms of our Lord. 'kingdoc THE END DOES NOT JUST THE MEANS. That the end does not justify the means is too often forgotten. When some meatus ago it was said that Cap. Burke, of New Or leans, was a defaulter to a very large amount our whole nature revolted against the accusation. We had known him as an accom plished gentleman; a man of spot less honor ; an editor who was an ornament to his profession. But it is established indeed admitted that be is guilty of the criminal ap ropriation of State bonds that had been committed to his care because of the trust and confidence reposed in him by his countrymen. Why did be do it! Was it van dalism born of native villany t How could so chivalric a gentle man so. lower a flag emblazoned with the record of a noble life 1 j An explanation has been given. ft is said that in a critical moment in the affairs of the great New Orleans World Exposition, when it seemed that there was no other way to escape ignoble failure, Cap tain Butke was induced to deposit the bonds of the State of Louisi ana as collateral security for the payment of obligations that had been . assumed by the managers of the Exposition, lie did it reluc tantly, and upon the assurance of men of, capital and charaeter that it was a mere formality, and that the bonds would never be used, lie had confidence in this assurance, but it was fatal to him. It was of the nature of Eve's yielding to the Seductidus oi 'Satan, and he fell. "O, what a fall was there, my countrymen !" Our hearts bleed as we reverently bow at the shrine of justice ! Will other men be admonished by the lesson 1 Will the young men of the conntry learn that "the end does not justify the means t It so the terrible crime will not be without its antidote. r WO AMERICAS NOBLEMEN. A few years ago a very warm friend and admirer of the ex- Speaker called on Mrs. Randall and informed her that he bad de termined to make a provision for Mr. Randall for the benefit of his family to the extent of $75,000. He did this, he said, after having learned he was a comparatively poor man. He bad been in public life for nearly thirty years, and was then as poor as. when he began. He, therefore, had made up his miod to Bet aside the above sum as indicated. He requested Mrs. Randall to broach the subject to her husband in' her own way, and hoped that he would get a favorabie reply. Some days after he saw Mrs. Randall. She informed him that Mr. Ratdali would not listen to any such proposition at all and requested her to say that under no circumstances would he accept. This has been Mr. Randall's in variable attitude concerning all benefactions for his benefit. The SmUeman was. much surprised at e reply, as he hoped that he might be permitted to do this do served kindness. The gentleman has since died and leu an estate worth several millions. He re mained np to the time of his death a devoted friend of the distin guished Pennsylvania. Philadel phia Inquirer. We have always held Mr. Ran dall in high regard. We have no patience with bis tariff ideas, but for his ability and manhood we have the highest admiration. No Southern man should forget Mr. Randall's splendid conduct when the infamous Force Bill was before the Congress. Although it looks like hoping against hope, we trust that bis valuable life will long be spared to his country, his family and his friends. "TAKE THE TARIFF OUT OF POLI TICS." Joseph Medill, one of the oldest newspaper writers in the United States, and proprietor of the Chicago Tribune, is in Washington. In an interview with a representa tive of the Post on he situation political, Mr. Medill said: "Con gre&a is in the hands of the Re publicans, but by a very slender majority, and this may be wiped out in 1890 if promises made to the farmers and working classes are not kept. First and foremost, there mast be a revision of tbe tariff, the war taxes must be taken off the necessaries of life and placed on the luxuries." This is what Mr. Medill calls taking the tariff out of politics. It looks very much like a surrender to the Democrats on the leading issue before the country. It is Democratic doctrine and can no more be eliminated from politics than light can be separated from day. The DODular verdict is with tbe Democracy, and the only effect that can be -produced by the advocacy or tariff reform by leading rtepuo licans is the bringing of Republi cans to the Democratic column. Mr. Medill has an idea that Alger will; be-elected President in 1892, by- calling him a tariff re former. JuSt as well paint an Indiana mule with stripes down his sides and attempt to pass him off as a Kebra. . The thing can't be done. There should be no politics in the Qnadri centennial of 1892. It ia a national, not a political affair. It rises above all party considera tions. It is not in honor of any party or any administration. It is for the glory of the people and the government of the people. Wash ing ton Post.

THE N EURO. orth Carolina is the ouly State in the Union at this time which has oue of its Congressional dis tricts represented by a negro, aud I Istranpe as it mav amenr. of thai large number oi negroes who have! t recently emigrated iioui that State to Mississippi and other portions of the Southwest (said by report to be in the ne ighborbood of twenty two thousand), the major portion resided in the counties em braced ia the iit'oresaid colored representative's district. That the loss of such a large portion ot the Republican vote will, if the exodus continues much louder, trausler the , district to the Democratic column, is a well ascertained fact bur does not the lemoval i.-t such a large ' number of negroes from North , Carolina to Mississippi tend to discredit the report of bad treat- ment, crnelty, xe., which are peri- odicaljy sent North Irom the latter State to inflame the publrc mind T Norfolk Public Ledger. Here are remarkable facts. The only Copgressional district in the United States thnt is represented by a negro, is the one from which the largest number of negroes are migrating, aud the State into whice they are mostly goiDg is the one most vigorously assailed be cause of injustice and cruelty to the negro. What does tbi show! Why, Simply, that influences other than political considerations control his action. It is not a question of politic, but it is a matter of wages. The negro, like every other mau, wants money. He goes South or West in the belief that his material prosperity will be increased, and be does not stop to enquire whether the State into which he is going is Democratic or Republican. What he wants is money, lie may be dis appointed. The agent may de ceive him ; but he trusts him, and goes Westward or Southward with vieions of wealth and happiness alluring him on. What is the gasconaded Ingalls, the rigmarole of Blair and the fus tian of Chandler worth in the pies- ence of such JVu;:s.l Justice! exclaims Ingalls. Jus tice! shouts Clair. Justice! echoes Chandler. And that is just what tbe negro is having. Represented by one of his race in the second Congressional district of North Carolina, be Buds his pockets emp ty. He is a free man, and has been free for thirty years. If he wants to go to Mississippi, where white men and Democrats only are sent to Congress, what's to hinder him from going! Justice says, let him go: and, for once, we aro on the same platlorm with Ingalls, Blair and Chandler. As long as Mississippi is Demo cratic it will be an iuvitiug field for tbe emigrant, but if it ever becomes Republican we may txpect to Bee uegroes flying from it as from the jaws of death. It is a remaikable fyct that there is no considerable number of ne groes in any Republican State Id the Union. It they prefer Republi can government, why don't tbey go where Republicans are in the m8jorityT Why do they stay in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas f Why don't they go to their friends? The fact is they want money. Tbey can make more money in these Southern States than they can anywhere else, and they are goining to stay here. The more Democratic the State is the better for them, for Democracy affords the best protection to the laborer and secures the largest return for his labor The negroes tried Kansas, the State of Ingalls, but they could not live there. The rigor of the climate and the disposition of the people were against them, and they have come back to live in the South and enjoy the blessings of Democracy. ELIMIXAIIO-V. It would seem that elimination is the hope of Republicans. Foi i sometime they have been demand ing the elimination of civil service from politics, and now tbey insist that the tariff and the World's Fair be also eliminated. They may be on the right track, bnt they have not gone far enough. Tbe eliminatioa of Reed, Ingalls, Blair and Chandler wonid improve tbe political atmosphere of Vasbing; ton, bnt nothing loss than the elimination of the Republican party, from American j olities, will satisfy the country.- The Republican par? iiapnity of expedients. Having; Eo great principles, applicable to all times, it is driven to tbe necessity of shifting its policy to meet the ever changing conditions of public opin ton. It is necessarily inconsistent, the incidents of todav clashing with the events of yesterday. A little while ago Republicans championed civil service, and now it shakes its gory locks at Harrison and will not down at his bidding. It has been mot futilly murdered. We never thought it promised much. All along it lias been a poor and sickly creature, but this does not wipe out the deep damnation of its taking olF. If it had been slaughtered in tbe interest of the public the unauthorized act would have received tbe kindly judgment of a sympathising people. But it was done in the interest of uepo tism ; to give place to conspirators, and to reward the purchasers of floaters and the manipulators of ballot boxes. Iu this condition of affairs civil service will not be elim inated from American politics. Of the tariff wo have spoken elsewhere in this issue of tbe Journal. The World's Fair has no legiti mate place in the politics of the country. It should bo a great exhibition Illustrative of the tri- umphs of civilization throughout the woild. Democrats tried to keep it out of politics, but the Kepubliean managers of thei State of New York thought; that they saw in it an op portuuiry to advance p irfy inter esrs, and to this end they exerted timir ii.fr,nirr or,.. i energies: but now, since Piatt has provoked the censure of business meu ami aroused the indignation of the people of New York, Depew and other Repubbcaus assi rt thar the p.wty is not responsible for the dilemma.

Never tell anybody an unpala table truth when it can answer no good purpose. This sort of un necessary candor is sometimes prompted by malice, sometimes by mere looseness ot tongue, -like that which Iago imputes to Cassio when asleep. Sydney Smith says, and very justly, that friendship is frequent ly made an excuse for unpunish able impeitinence by people who pride themselves on speaking their minds freely. The truth, malicious Iy spoken, maybe libellous; and when volunteered in relation to matters with which the ntteier has no concern, it is very often unman nerly. As surely as pleasant truths, kin-ily meant and said, are pass ports to friendship and affection, so surely do bitter ones provoke the enmity and hatred of those to whom they are addressed. If you have a taste for sharp repartee, restrain it It is better to lose a jest than a friend to miss an op portunity of saying a "good thing," thau to make an enemy. Ex. CAUTIOST TO MOTHERS.

What is tlie Uit- of Sunday to a business man or a working man 1 It often seems to put a stop to his work just wheu he wants another day ; but a sensible mau knows that he cannot get on wit hout his Sunday, or day of rest and change and recreation. Men have tried to do without it, and some 'inen have no real Sunday. Napoleon tried to make his army do without it, but was obliged to give it up. The men wbo do not keep Sunday are generally bitter, discontented, hard and disagreeable. v by is if. so, and what is the use ot Sunday '! 1. Sunday is a day of rest. No man was ever iutended to go on at his work day alter day without change. It is not healthy. This was partly the reason why one day in seven was appointed for rest. The Sabbath was made for man. God considered man's health when he made the law. He told him to do things because they were good for him, and not to do other things because they were bad for hitn. 2. Sunday is a day of worship. Man is an animal, and needs rest. Man is a spiritual animal, and needs to lift his mind to God, and bold communion with Him, and offer sacrifice and thanksgiving. Without these things there is no worship, aud Sunday is day on which he can do this without the distraction of business. 3. Sunday is a day of instruction. Sermon hearing is not worship, however much we may learn from it or be moved by it. Bnt we ought to knew idiom and tchy and how we worship. Willful ignorance is a common vice among Christians, and many men who think that tbey worship uod do not know as much abotft t beir leligious as they could learn irom a five cent catechism. 4. Sunday is a day of good works Our Lord aud Master healed the sick on the Sabbath, and preached that the right use of the day was rest from work for self, bnt not from work for others. Sunday may be used as a day for works of mercy. All spiritual works of mercy may be done on Sanday. lo convert the sinner, instruct the ignorant, counsel tbe doubtful comfort the sorrowful, bear wrongs patiently, forgive injuries all these are Sunday works, and every man can do some of them, if he will But that is not all. The corporal works of mercy can be done on Sunday, and few men do them ex cept on Sunday. A man may feed the hungry, clothe the naked, en tertain strangers, visit the sick, go to see prisoners, even if he has no other opportunity. Iron Cross, The Farmer's Garden. Thg farmer's garden has been a good deal written about of later years. The garden sustains inti mate and consequential relations to tbe family; it ministers to the house hold in do round about, immaterial way, but directly and substantially. That big field of wheat, product of long labors and anxieties, may bring loss or gain as tbe freaks of the market may determine, but that tender lettuce, that healthful asparagus, those delicious peas that made the family dinner so enjoy able, gave no uncertain benefits, were of no doubtful value; they found the best market in the world the home market, and gave the best of all possible returns, satisfac tion and support. XVe Care! There is Dang r Ia alloc iag inactivity of tbe kidnfj-i to grow through neglect. The deadly shoals of Brigbl'd diHeaee and diabetes will wreck tha goodly bulk of health if it ia alio we J to drift rudderli as upon them- Tbe bladder, too, if inactive. aDd judicious medication does not speedily direct tbe helm toward the port of safety , will be whelmed by the quicksand of disease. In selecting; a diureiic. let your choice fall upon Ltos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which-stimulates the renal organs without irritating and exciting them, two effects to be ap prehended from the unmodicated stim uli largely resorted to. 'hese have a tendency to react prejudicially. The Bitters invigorate the kidneys and bladder, in common with the nerves and the digestive organs and so afford lasting aid. It also affords dual assist ance in preventing and curing intermit tent and remittent fever. Biliousness. constipation and rheumatism it alto subjugates. Retaliation is like the storm which sweeps through the forest in destruction. Kindness is like the combined influence of the sun aud the rain of the cloud, which germinates seed and upholds their leaves, flowers and odors. Found In the Newspaper.

Chisel in hand stood the sculptor boy, With bis marble block before him; And his face lit up with a smile of joy, As an angel dream passed o'er hiro. He carved that dream on the yielding stone, With many a sharp incibion ; In heaven's own light the sculptor shone, -He had caught that angel ision. Sculptors of life are we as we stand With our lives unearved tefure us, Waiting the hour, when at God's com mand.

Grady Memorial Volume, containing the life, writ ings and speeches of the late Mr. Grady, is now under process of preparation by the well known publishing bouse of Cassell & Com pany (Limited) of New York, and will probably be ready for delivery during the month of March. This Volume will contain an interesting sketch of the life of Mr. Grady from the pen of Mr. Joel Chandler Harris, of tbe Constitu tion, and the introduction to the work will be written by Hon. Hen ry W. Watterson, of Louisville Courier Journal. The work is com piled by Mr. Grady's former co workers on The Constitution, aud will contain all of bis great speeches, some of his most impor tant, letters and writings and many features of interest concerning the lamented young Georgian whose death is a bereavement to the whole country. The proceeds from the sale of this book, after deducting the ex penses for its publication, will be devoted to the benefit of Mr. Grady's family, a wife, two chil dren, mother and sister, who will be the sole beneficiaries ot this work. This is the only volume relating to the life of Mr. Grady that ia published by authority. It is cov ered by a copyright applied for by Mrs. Grady. It is said that there are other volumes in preparation containing parts, of Mr. Grady's speeches, with imperfect biograpni cal sketches. The Constitution desires te give due notice that tbe above is the only authorized edition of a work of this character and asks the public to wait for its ap pearance. The book will contain from six to eight hundred pages, printed in three styles, each in good shape and containing four handsome steel engravings. j The southern agent lor the sale of this volume, is Mr. D.

A leading New York city phy sician distinguishes himself from his iellow mortals by inveighing against carpets. He denounces them as ugly in appearance, and worst of all, as unclean and un healthful. He says : "The carpet holds the poison of all diseases, such as Bcarlet fever, diphterfa and the like, long alter the rest of the room is disinfected. I always re move the roe, even, from a sick room, where I can find a rug to remove. The carpet retains dust and dirt and the most careful housewiie cannot keep it clean. It is impossible. Now, the rug may be taken up and thoroughly swept on both sides whenever tbe house keeper wants to do so. Then there is nothing in the way of bouse- furnishing so handsome as a paint ed and highly polished floor, deco rated with Persian or Turkish rugs. No carpet ever made it so pleasiBg to the eye. Yes, the carpet must go, aud I only wonder that the crusade against it has been delayed as long as It has.77 Grass and Clover. It is a good sign oi the times as pointing to a more prosperous ag ricultural future for this section to find the demand for grass and clover seed so steadily increasing. The soil and climate are so admi rably adapted to both that it seems strange any argument were needed to urge the farmer to what seemed a plain duty or the exercise of plain common sense. Hat -old rats are hard to get out of; and when the wild range was so wide and so rich, and when there was little demand for beef except on the hoof, and no Drofitable market ior bntter. it is after all not surprising that the tarmer suunneu the seeming super- r a uuuua muui ui ocnuiug w " g 1 ""o dui an iuis is cuuugiug now. xue it... ..ii i i . . : m i i range is becoming poor and re stricted.
