Concord, March 29, ’94.
Ed. Journal: It has been published
in a strong Atkinson paper that
there were only three men in this
part of the county who would not
vote for Coi. Atkins >n for governor.
If this was true at the time there
has certainly been a wonderful revo
lution in sentiment. Already It. J.
Turner, Levi Mann, and W. F. Mad
den, leading young men, have said
they were change i to Gen. Evans.
I have heard of a number of others
on the Atkinson list who have made
similar statements.
In my opinion the term, “Evans
clod-knocker,” applied by some ol
Billie’s elastic supporters hag not
made him many frisnds. But the
dignified and courteous manner in
which Gen. Evans meets his oppo
nent is gaining him friends every
day. Peter.

The United States government has
taken its stand with reference to an in

while this country will take the initia

be ready to join European powers in such

Report of Court House Committee.
VVe, the citizens appointed by the
Ordinary, in conjunction with the
County Commissioners, to take into
consideration the building ot a new
court house have liad the same un
der consideration and hog tc submit
to your honorable body the follow
ing as the result of our investigation:
We are well aw»re of the great de
pression that exists in all branches
of industry and trade; end we arc
advocates of strict economy in public
expenditures, sud opposed to any
increase in taxation uulossa necessity
exists for such increase. But a court
house for the county, adequate for
the sale and proper transaction of the
county’s business wo believe to be a
necessity that cannot, without great
risk, be longer delayed. Believing
this, we think it would be in the line
ot true economy tor vour honorable
booy to recommend the building ot a
new court house. As such a house
would be tor t lie benefit of comiug
generations, and for the further reft
son that our citizens would have an
opportunity of expressing their will
on this subject atihe ballot box, we
suggest that the money Bhould be
raised by an issue of bonds not to
exceed $25,000 to run 15 years at a
rate ot interest not to exceed 6 per ct.
A special act ot the legislature would
lie necessary in order to obtain this
aulborty, in which all details ol issue,
sinking fund, redemption, etc., could
be itieor]K>rated, ami which would
be a contract between the holders of
the bonds and the eounty authorities.
Tlans and estimates ot a modern
courthouse is herewith submitted,
which we think would fully meet the
necessities for hall a century and
more, show that such a building ten
years ago was built at a cost of $25,
000, and with the low prices that
prevail ntpiosent a considerable re
duction could bo made from these
figures on the same class of work.
It is unnocossary for us to go into
details in this report at this stage of
the proceedings, but we venture to
say that in less time than 15 years
an issue ot $25,000 bonds can be re
deemed, principal and interest, with
out increasing tho Ioa rato more
than one mill, or 10 cents on the one
hundred dollars.
There is a truo and false economy,
illustrate'! by the man who lost a
match in the dark aud struck two
to find it. The wise expenditure of
money often demonstrates the truest
economy.
An Invention has been made which
promises much for the finishing of
houses internally. It consists of a proc
ess by which marble dust from quarries
and yards is collected, made into a paste
with water end cement and then put un
der tremendous pressure. The resulting
substance resembles marble in a marked
degree, but it can be molded into any
shape. Inkstands, workboxes and other
small articles are formed from it as well
M mantels aud panels. It can be pressed wTiich
into very thin slabs, the paste of
it is made being colored and veined in
Imitation of any desired kind of marble.
It can to a great extent replace wood in
the insido work of buildings very advan
tageously. Roaches, rats and other ver
min that infest wood could find no hid
ing place or nest in this artificial marble.
It would be cleaner, safer and more
wholesome Ilian woodwork almost every

In the Hawaiian Islands are many
Portuguese. They lately held a mass
meeting at Honolulu for the purpose
of giving public expression to their
views on the political situation. They
passed some resolutions, of which the fol
lowing was one: “The sentiment of the
Portuguese caleny is unanimously in
favor of the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States of America." Another
waa to the effect that the Portuguese
colony would remain unalterably loyal
to the provisional government and fol

What We Did For Brazil.
The New York Sun aptly calla atten
tion to the service rendered by the Unit
ed States to the republic of Brazil dur
ing the recent rebellion. The sympa
thies of European nations were undoubt
edly with the insurgents from the first.
In the beginning it was only because, on
general principles, anything that tends
toward the downfall of a republic is
agreeable to a monarchist or imperialist.
But after Da Gama declared his desire to
see the Brazilian empire restored this neg
ative sympathy prepared to take active
shape. If certain Gorman and English
naval officers at Rio Janeiro had had
their way, the insurgents would have
blockaded the port., cutting off from
Peixoto his customs revenues and sup
plies.
At once the United States government
gave notice to Mello that no interference
with American merchant ships in Rio
harbor would be permitted. Then the
British government followed in our
wake and notified Mello and Da Gama
to the same effect. The Sun says:
That (he status of belligerency was never nc
quired by the Brazilian rebels was duo to the
fact that the United States not only refused
the desired recognition, but taxed all the re
sources of Its diplomacy to prevent any such
proceeding on the part of other foreign gov
ernments. It ts a truth of which President
iYdxoto is perfectly aware that during the last
six months, when his own late and (hat of re
publican institutions in Brazil were at slake,
no has had no well wishers In places of pow«»r
in Europe, and that nothing but the steadfast
friendship of the United StatoB averted a con
certed concession of the rights of belligerents
to the robels, which would probably have as
sured to thorn success.
It is not likely that either he or any of those
Brazilians who are slncvru republicans will
ever underrate the magnitude of their indebl
roent to this country. They are ns likely to
forget the sympathy with the rebel advocates
of monarchy which the British naval officers
at Rio took no trouble to disguise.
The service which we rendered in their hour
of need lo the Peixoto government and to the
catute of republican institutions in Brazil
ought to have a profound and permanent ef
fect on the future commercial and political re
lations of that country with the United States.
That Silver Churn.
That silver churn story concerning the
youngest daughter of tho Prince of
Wales, Princess Maud, whom Lord Rose
bery is to marry, is truly touching if it
only touches the right spot. It seems
that tbe Princess of Wales has ut, one of
her country places a dairy fitted up,
where she and her daughters play at.
butter making. The fact that Alexan
dra comes from Denmark, the leading
dairy country of Europe, inay perhaps
account for her fondness for buttermilk
and churning.
At any rnte, in this royal dairy there is
a silver churn, which the princesses ply
with their own hands to make the but
ter come. The milk and cream are kept
in silver jars, porcelain lined, and the
dairy itself is lined and floored with pea
cock blue tiling. After the Princess of
Wales and her daughters have brought
a little pat of butter in tbe silver churn
they retire to an elegant tearoom ad
joining, fitted with every luxury, spread
the butter they have made upon some
bread and have a feast, while Homebody
else cleans up the dairy things.
This proceeding is supposed to indi
cate to the British public tho tremen
dously domestic tastes and industrious
habits of Mrs. Wales and her daughters.
If it was a plain, decent dairy, such as
the girls of Great Britain earn their liv
ing in, and if these royal ladies did any
real work there, certainly it would be
commendable in them thus to show their
interest in a useful occupation. But the
little humbug they practice is only in
tended to throw a little dust in the eyes
of the British public as to the sweetness
of royalty, which it apparently does do.
A grand farce it is. We somehow re
member in reading of it that thus Marie
Antoinette and her conrt ladies played
at being dairy maids on the very eve of
the outbreak of the French revolution.
In some respects an American presi
dent has more power than the British
sovereign. He can prepare his own mes
sages to congress out of his own head
and does it if he is sufficiently well up
in grammar and composition. And he
would die before he wonld let a con
gressman move an amendment to it.
But any*me-nberof parliament can move
an amendment to tbe queen’s speech in
the commons' reply to it, advocating even
measures most hateful to her, and if a
majority favors it it stands. It is not
unlikely, however, that in their secret
hearts the members of the English royal
house are rather tickled at the blows the
commons are dealing at the lords. Some
of these ore arrogant, even to the royal
familv.
Many wonder wlmt we want a nation
al board of health for. aud why the pub
lic health cannot be left to the individual
states. A national bureau of health ia
wanted so that all quarantining muy be
put under one authority. Congress ought
to pass the national bureau bill.
The gross receipts of the Irving-Terry
company during their American tonr
the present season were $600,000. Half
of that sum must have been net profit.
When shall we have an American the
atrical company that can take that much
money out of Great Britain?
