Sam Kandall's visit to the South seetns.to trouble some of the papers; but this is is a. free country and Sam has as much right to travel South as any other man. And if Southern peopio tsee lit to get up a demonstration in his behalf let them do it. It is their privilege. A movement is ou foot to make electricity , the motive power for yachts. The move was intended to demonstrate that artificial motive power could be. substituted for the force of the wind. Experiments made in England indicate that it can also bo substituted for steam, and thus abolish the dangers of fire and explosions, and increase the comfort' of ' passengers by doing away , with heat, smoke .and the smell of oil coming from the engines and boilers. While Ueadstueet compiles froin special reports statistics showing the great depression in in dustrial pursuits, the Manufac turer's Record, of Baltimore, shows remaikable activity in Southern in dust rial interests. It there is no set back to the present boom, the South will astonish the world wheii tho census returns ot lb'jo are hi ade. Alabama seems to betak ing the lead at present in develop' ing her iron industry. General TnoMAS, of the Thomas Iron Com pany, Philadelphia, has decided to build a $1,000,000 furnace there. while at Birmingham andAnniston there are already large furnaces. We hope North Carolina will keep pace with her Southern sisters in this era of progress, and we are sat isfied she will do it if our legisla tors are wise enough to avoid objectionable laws. . A BOOM FOR CLOCK AND WATCH :r MAKERS. ' The Directors of the lloyal Ol sesvatory at Greenwich announce that on January 1st they will change the plan of reclaming hours, mak ing the day to begin at midnight and the hours to ran up- to 24 in stead of placing 12 hours on each side of the meridian as at present. Tho English Government, it is said, will adopt the system iu all its de- artments, incladiug the telegraph nd post-office, and the railroads are expected to follow suit. J When this is done the public- generally will conform, and the system will, we presume, be adopted by t whole' civilized world. This will do away with tho "A. M." and T. M. Twelve o'clock at night will be 24 o'clock; 1 o'clock p. in. will bo 13 o'clock and 8 o'clock p. in. will "bo.

CONUKESS AND THE CAC1XET. . Iiuportanre of Not Bcdnt-ins Drino- crnltc Strength Iu llonae or Senate. ' (NewYork World. ' 1 Washington, Dec. 25. A Dem ocratic public man who. . is greatly iutcrested in tho future of his party said to-uight that Mr. . Cleveland's work of making his Cabinet was of such vital importance to tho future of the party that the' party leaders could not think of or discuss much else besides tho men- who may bo xissibly selected. He thinks that rresident-elecfi Cleveland should consider well before seeking Cab inet officers of ' either branch of Congress, ou . account of tho weak ening effect upon tho management of the party In that branch of t ho Government Ho said: Vv-v-viM - President Cleveland shonld have in his Cabinet those who aro familiar not alone with public men aud their methods, but with the men who ruin and. wreck all with whom they como in contact, engulfing in their tall parties aud principles, hut let the I'resident be ever so strong and his Cabinet ever so able an admin istration is powerless without strong support in the'. House and , in the Senate. Think for a moment what would bo the Democratic House without Carlisle, Hewitt, Randall, Morrison or Cox, . and the Senate wjthout Bayard, Garland, Pendle ton, Harris or Beck.1 ,The Republi can party is led by Edmunds, Sher man, Erye, Allison, Plumb, lngalls, Jlale, Hoar, Wilson and Logan. It is important. for the President to consider this view of the situation in Congress. Every administration measure will havo to run the gaunt let of the most experienced of the Republican, veterans., Therefore it is of the utmost importance when we are, so to speak, on trial, , tliat we should bo as strong, as possiblo iu Congress, , whoro our principle fights will have to be made.
