NO MOM BONDS WANTED. Whatever the success of the latest bond issue has ben in provng the stability of tliia country's tiuances. such a teat must never be brought to bear again opou the people, nor for that matter must it be necessary for the Government to issue bonds either aa a popular loan er to be sold to syndicates. This Government must go out of the bond issuing and banking busi ness, and get down to a practical way of conducting iw affairs by providing revenae-s which shall equal it expenditure. It ia well euoogh for the members of C'ongree! to rare and denouuee President Cleveland for saddling an sdditional debt npon the country, bnt the faulr ii not his. and the remedy lies in the hand of those wbo are free to denounce his method of securing funds to meet current gorenimental expenses. This country is ouying abroad at present more than it sells abroad, considerably more; added to this the fact that the country revenue do noi equal its expenditures, and the reason for bond issues Incomes plain. The remedy is very plain. Pro vide a sufficient revenue and bond iasnes will be matters of the past. The people demand some sensible and business like action on the part of their representatives in Congress in providing revenues for the gov ernment, ami a cessation oi the present daily arraignment and de nunciation of matters of triml im portance. with no legislation for the conntrr interest or wellfare. The people want no more bond issue, and they demand legislation which shall prevent them. ONI TBXJta PSJBTTT CURTAIN One thin? w hich every voter in l'orth Carolina, to whatever politi caJ party he may belong, can rest assured of is that the Ivenu Oilcans in this State will not be found de claring themselves positively en any National political issue, silver or the tariff, before the National Conven tion meet and Jeclaree its platform. It ia tho worst of idle twaddle for the new manors to declare that the Republican? will give up to-the Pop ulist demand for free coinage in order to secure their co-operation to carry this State again uext Novem ber, for the llenublicun partv has 7 ..,- too perfect an organization and confi dence in its National leaders to act without their knowledge or consent. It reads very prettily in the newspapers that certain Republicans iu such and such a Suite have per mitted the local members to set up lit-tle political shrines at which the ranting populist or the weary dem ocrat may worship and find every thing to suit t heir different taste, but the Republican party is au "art ful dodger, and iU tricks which are played, are usually not in vain. Of conree it may make interesting readiDg to one class to see in print that the Republicans of this State are in perfect agreement with the Populi.U ou silver and also prove equally pleasing to another elas to see it positively staled mat t De two are wide apart ou the silver issue. The wise course, whatever the local interest may be, is to watch and see what the National Republican party will Jo, for ninety nine chances out of one hundred, what it says, "wwl go", and Republicans throughout the country will endorse its action and follow its lead.

Enortn- Pun. a ni-r.pin . result of the arrest .Feb. L. As a of ( 'apt ni n I ,oe- sewitz, of tho steamer Rhynland, early this week for the alleged smug gling of a package, containing about 10.000 worth of diamouds, and his subsequent detention under 3,000 'bail for court, what is thought to be one of the moM. gigantic diamond smuggling schemes ever in existence s about to be unearthed. Herman Keck, of Cincinnati, the head of the largest diamond cutting and dealing establishment iu this conn has been arrested and held iu 3,000 bail by United States Commissioner Bell, charged with beiug concerned in tho smuggling. The warrant was sworn out by instructions from United States District Attorney Ingham, by Special Treasury Agent J. C. Cummiugs, of New York city. Keck had arrived on the Aller in New York ou Friday,and voluntarily came to this city, accompanied by Treasury officers, who had identified him from a description furnished bv Captain Loesewitz, of the Rhyn- LineL CAPTAIN I.OESEWJTZ CONFESSES. When arrested Captain Loesewitz stated that the package containing the diamond had been handed to him by Keck at Antwerp; that he had repeatedly brought packages over for Keck, but had no know ledge of the great value of them. He said he thought they were trifl ing presents. Carles Hess, of New York, coun sel for the Diamond Importers' Protective Association, had a con ference with District Attorney Ing ham prior to the issuing of the war rant for Keek's arrest. Ha said that his clients paid 90 per cent, of the diamond duties of tho country Keek's firm only paid, a small por tion of the re naiuing 10 per cent,, and yet the lattei's firm absolutely controlled the market of the United States, so that legitimate importers were frozen out of tho business. Mr. Hess said that Keek's firm was rated at idO,-000 two years ago, when the duty on diamouds was 10 per cent. Since it was raised to per cent, the firm's rating had increased to 3o0,00o.

Last year the State of Mississippi bought three large tracts of land upon which to set its 250 convicts to work under the direct supervision of the State authorities. The result was that the State received 3,200 bales of cotton of 500 pounds each, 50,000 bushels of corn, 1,100 tons of hay, 45,000 pounds of pork, 55 barrels of molasses and 2,200 bushels of peas, all of which sold for 155,- 000. The cost ol' tire land and the ex penses of the year for farming uten sils, live stock, etc., amounted to $05,000, leaving a profit of 160,00' to the State. fcx.

Morganton Ileral I. RAISING MEAT AT A PROFIT. A Farmer Who Raised 3.00O Pound at a Not Cost of Two Cents Per Ponnd, Tells How it Can be Done The past year has been a profita ble one to most farmers, and it is gratifying to note the decadence ot the popular "calamity howler.'' That the agricultural classes are in better spirits is due to the fact (14 that more supplies than usual have, been raised at home the past, year and the necessity of sending to the est tor piovisions lias been iv moved; (2) that the cotton acreage the supply and increasing the d mand. So long as these conditions obtain thero will be but little cause for complaint aud still less for de-pen- denco upon the merchant for broad and meat. Like the five cent cot ton, the five cent pork lias raised a hue of complaint and many claim that it cannot be raised for that. But it can, and still leave a neat cash balance iu favor of the pro ducer. This I've verified the pst year, having produced 3.000 pounds of pork that cost me only two cents per pound. The tiret requisite for cheap meat is well-bred, thrifty hogs, not more than twelve months old when butch eredeight months being prefera ble. By all means fight shy of the razor-back pine-rooter. The Berkshire stands in the front as a producer of lean meat, and besides being vigorous and healthy. can be fattened at any age. A close rival is tho Essex, equally thrifty, though not so prolific in producing lean meat, and consequently not so desirable for home use. If you want a larger, though less profitable hog, get the Poland China. Don't try to make your hogs weigh 4()0 pounds because you see nl.Ufri.tru.r rArmrlu n f rt 1 1 r u Hninir it. This is a mistake and generally 1 an expensive one. ine nrsc iv o pounds your hog takes on is t tie cheapest; tho next 100 a little m ore expensive, and if you feed on to the 400 mark there is danger of. the balance being on the wrong. nAio of your ledger. For this reason, eight to ten months old hog3 w.eighTmg; from 150 to 200 pounds -jlf give the most satisfactory resul If possible have your pigs- faar rowed in early spring arid see bo. i that the dam is in gooa ooudifcim and well cared for during: the noa two months, aa much depends ufl the beginning of a $5g'a careen J 1 t a y je Id ne es be ng ley on. all get nal weaning time yoaor clover wjIU I ready for pasturiog and they slum have free access; to a lot of it.
