Tuk question of work on Sunday
is agitating Europe to a consider

been under legislative considera

the propriety of some official action
is talked of iu France. There is
nothiDg iu tbis movement however,
to give encouragement to those
who desire a stricter religious
observance of lh day. The move
ment is secular rather than
religious. It has arisen from a
belief that men and women neep
one il.iy m the week for relaxation
from toil. The custom of working
on Sunday as well as on other
days in the week is proving too
exacting even for Europeans. The

"Among the resolutions adopted
by the Republican State Convention
of Alabama on Wednesday, was
one to the following effect:. 'The
Republican party is a true friend ol
tbe workingmen everywhere, and
the Republican party of Alabama,
composed mainly of farmers and
skilled mechanics and workingmen,
expresses its profonnd sympathy
with these classes of wealth-producing
people, and pledges itself
to aid them in every way to better
their condition,' to encoarage tillers
of the soil to own tbe land they
cultivate, to promote home getting
free from the burdeus of debts, to
help emancipate the toiling masses
Irom tbe imputation that honest
toil is degrading, to give honor and
dignity to labor, aud to the labor
ing man his rightful share in shap
ing tbe laws under which be toils
and lives, and finally to secure for
the most favored citizens equality
of citizenship throughout our vast
republic We favor that just and
protective government policy which
gives protection alike to American
industry of all kinds, and Aineriean
labor of all classes and affords tp
our farmers a remunerative borne
market for all their products."'
All this is superlative impudence.
In its early days tbe Republican
party took from the toiling millions
of this country a magnificent do
main and gave it to the Pacific
Railroad Company. Iu doing this
it violated inalienable rights of
citizens to pander to the cupidity
of a soulless corporation.
The only Democratic Administra
j tion with which the nation has been
i blessed, since 1800,restored millions
i ...
, of aCres of this land to the public
domain, thus returning it to tbe
people for homes in a land of golden
harvests and delicious fruits.
The Republican party has passed

i A Cure for Dinhtherla
1 Medical science has long sought
'r a sovereign remedy for the
sconre of childhood, diphtheria,
5 er the co!ored people of Louisiana,
nu pernaps ocuer locaiines in tne
south, have for years known and
used a cure which is remarkable
for its simplicity. It is nothing
more orless than the juce of the
pineapple.
"The Remedy is not mine," said
a gentleman when interviewed; "it
has been used by negroes in the
swamps down outn lor years
Oae of my children was down with
diphtheria, and was in a critical
condition. An old colored man
ho heard of the case asked if we
had tried pineapple juce. We
tried it, and the child erot well.
I 1 have known it tried in hundreds
of -cases. I have told my friends
1 about it whenever I heard of a case,
; and never knew it to fail. Yon
et a riPe pineapple, squeeze out
the juice, and let the patient swal-
i low lt;- Ihe juice is of so corrosive
a nature that it will cut outdiphthe
ria mucus, and if you will take the
fruit before it is ripe and give the
ijuice to a person whose throat is
; we'l it makes the mucus membranes
I ofn'8 throat sore. Among those
wno nave tried the cure on my
recommendation I may mention
Francis J. Lennett, the Beard of
Trade man, whose children were
all down with diphtheria i nd were
cured by this remedy."
Mr. Kennett confirmed this state
ment. Chicago Tribune.

A good team on a farm is worth

No farmer should allow his eggs
to accumulate, but should hurry

Public Koart and Public Sentiment.

roads iu bis address "'he Programme
of Progress" delivered at New Berne
last week.
There need to be a etrouKer public
8' ncirueoi agaiuet ihe careless way our,
roads are kept. If public seuumerii
would refuse to tolerate such roads as
tbe public generally bave to travel on, .
tbe remedy is at nand, and tlw Uw 1
would be enforced. '
Very few road overseers work their
roads one tbi d of the time the law ;
allows them to keep their roads in
I ord
More liaie is Iobi on many of our
roads, by tbe travelling public, by tbb
roads Doing in bad coodition, tnau it
would tke to put tbem in good condi
tion. We lose by tho slow rate of travel.-or
if we try to go fast, by broken Hpriuno
etc. w kUo losM by being unable tu
carry full load a without damage tu
earns, and aouie love part of their pros
pects of walking tbe streets of that
"Better Country ' on account of the
mud aud other impediments, often tu
countered on our public roads.
Mr. Editor 1 suppose you are too
closely confined at your office, to cei
muce of our couuty roads, especially
duung tbe lively month of Decern be
but i guess some of the Doctors could
testify to the truthfulness of my state
ment whin I say that there are bridges
on public i o.id s wuhiu ten miles ol
New Heme, that have chronic ailment
at least eight months iu the year. 8 juit
even raaue ot twisliug fence rails oi
pine poieo. wun cracks large euougl,
for a horse's foot to go through
Tnere are also many chronic holes,
some of them a foot deep 10 summer,
and perhaps two iu winter.
If tbe road masters would make the
I middle of their road ways the itiyhist
instead of tbe lowest part, as mauy art
uow, they might avoid ail thee hole
on the plain principle of gravitation;
water does not now up hill, neither
will it stand- on a properly constructed
road bed, till the whole pluce is
flooded.
Good roads are a great financial ad
vantage, bad ones are a serious hind
ranoe ' to success. Uood roads are a
treat social advantage, we vimt more
and learn more when we cm travel
with ee and rapidity.
Good roads are great educational
facilities I have known children
hindered several days from our very
short school terms for want of a porei
ble foot-way across a branch.
And last bat not least, good roads art
very helpful in obtaining moral aod
spiiitual strength.
Many stay away from church. Sun
day schools, and other means of mora)
advancement, on account of bad road
who would attend them and perbps
grow better if the road muster had
dona his lull duty in making the road
good.
Whoever wants better roads, let him
assist in awaking a batter public senti
ment in thnt direction and we shad
bave them. Lecturer.
