WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom Our Reeular Correspondent.
Washington, Sept. 30, 1895.
The White House will soon present its
wonted appearance, with the Chief Ex
ecutive at his desk. There is nothing
grange or new in the situation of the
government to be disclosed to Mr. Cleve
land on his resumption of active work.
The situation as it is known to him.
Events will probably shape his action,
but the assumption that b e has no plans
is not warranted. It is not likely that
these plans involve the calling of an extra
session of Congress. The conditions are
not yet ripe for him to deal with Congress,
and be is probably well pleased that it is
no nearer the regular time oi meeting.
Interest already corners in the character
of his message to Congress when it meetB
in December. If he bad a message to
write now it would doubtless give him
considerable trouble to-frame it satisfac
torily. Ordinarily he would begin the
preparation of material for his message
soon after bis return. It has been his
custom to devote the time be spends at
Woodley, after returning from bis summer
vacation and before taking up bis resi
dence at ihe- White House for the winter,
to thinking over his work. It is believed
that his nessage this year will be written
as late as possible. The development of
the situation is to be awaited before he
frames his utterances. There are certain
recommendations concerning financial
legislation which be is probably as well
prepared to make now as he will be later
on. But what every man who pariicipa-
ted in the last Congress and overy one
who followed those proceeding and has
been an observer of events is puzzled to
surmise is what he will have to say on
the revenue question in its relation to the
condition of the Treasury as it exists.
Of the important work for the new
Congress, one of the first and most im
portant questions to be considered would
appear to be that of defining the powors
and responsibilities of the Comptroller of
the Treasury. It is obvious that the
question cannot be left longer in its pres
ent unsettled condition unless we want to
retire Congress, the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury from aotive
duty. At first it seemed that the trouble
originated in some tempermental quality
peculiar to Mr. Bowler, and that it could
be disposed of by restoring that gentle
man to the aching void in private life
created by his transplantation to Wash
ington. But the recent action of Mr.
Bowler's assistant acting as Comptroller
during the absence of Mr. Bowler on a
much needed period of rest and recrea
tion, in withholding Minister Bansom's
salary against the express decision-of
Secretary Carlisle, makes iteppeartbat
the trouble is not in the individual who
occupies the office but in the office itself.
There is some quality in the atmosphere
of that particular corner of the Treasury
building that reduces the sizo of the Cap
itol and the Executive Mansion and makes
the occupant wholly oblivious of the Su
preme Court. Clearly, Congress must do
something in this matter something very
radical and conclusive. It -was never
presumed until quite recently that an
official, representing nobody a mere
subordinate appointee of the President
could set aside an act of Congress, arrest
an order of the President, and frustrate
the Secretary of the Treasury within the
province of his own immediate authority.
The arrangement is manifestly absurd.
Congress should dislocate and readjust it
on some permanent basis consistent with
common sense, or else go out of the law
making business altogether.
The satisfaction of the civil service re
formers over the extension of the civil ser
vice reform idea into the consular service
is tempered by the fact that the plan ap
plied does not remove the consular posi
tion from the fieldof patronage. The new
- system pretends to do no more than to
require those selected to demonstrate
their fitness for the positions before be
ing appointed. It does not take any
patronage away from the President nor
. offer an opportunity, as does the ordi
nary classified service, for persons of no
particular political influence to win
appointment upon their merits. It rather
extends the President's opportunity to
grant the petitions of politicians, for be
' can designate any. number of applicants
for examination and let the fault of their
failure to get appointments - rest with
them.
There will be a statesman from Medi
cine Lodge in tbe next House. Even
though tbe Hon. Jerry Simpson has dis
appeared below the horizon, there has
risen in his plaoe Congressman Long.
Mr. Chester J. Long is a young man of
sturdy build, with black hair and mus
tache, and he wears sooks. But he is not
as picturesque as the entertaining Jerry.
' . In many characteristice the sage who
. has gone out and tbe statesman who has
; orae in are. radically different. Simpson
.contented himself with a small apartment
'in a tnode&t; boarding house on Capitol
Hill; Mr. Long has secured a brand, new
- house, in an aristocrat neighborhood,
- "just beyond the handsome home of Chief
Justice Fuller. What the sage ofMedicine
1 Lodg laoked in frills, his successor will
fully supply.
The Tomato's Place in Nature.
' Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable,"
is a question frequently put, but which
seldom elicits a satisfactory answer. The
matter was settled several years ago by
that very august body known as the
Supreme Court of the United States of
American ?- The question came up in
this way : ' An American firm imported
several hundred cases of European toma-
toes which came through the New York
Custom House and were classified by the
Colloctor of that port as "vegetables," and
' duty demanded in accordance with tbe
vegetable tariff schedule on that class of
produce. The importers disputed the
point with the Government officials, de
claring that the horticulturalists, pro
. mologists and agriculturists in general
reoogcized the tomato as being a "fruit,"
which if it could have been proven, would
have admitted their importations duty
free. The Custom House officials would
pot concede the point, so tbe matter was
carried to the Supreme Court, which des
cided in favor of tbe Collector, viz : That
the tomato is a vegetable.

Tbe Western. Insane Asylum at Morganton
N.C.
Dr. Charles M. Duffy, of Newberne,
N. C, chairman of tbe North Carolina
State Board of Charities, and myself
having been appointed by tbe Stale Board
at its late meeting at Raleigh, Sept. 6, to
visit Morganton aud examine into tbe
condition of the Insane Asylum and Deaf
and Dumb School there, met there Thurs
day, Sept. 19, and spent Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday in the discbarge of that
duty. We also visited the County Home
and Jail of Burke county. I might as
well say at the outset that the commit
tee were greatly surprised at tbe mag
nificence of tbe Institution and the im
mense work it is doing for the State. We
found there were 629 patients there under
its care and treatment and there is an
other building 150 yards away which is
near completion which is intended for
that clars who are considerably noisy, and
whose noise while in the Asylum proper
hinders the rest of the quiet patients.
One tbinir which impressed tbe com
mittee very favorably was tbe perfect
system and order that prevails in all the
departments of the Institution. We were
present when the male patients were at
supper to the number of 300 and I must
say tbi t I never saw a number of sane
men even to one-fourth that number who
behaved so quietly as they did. The same
order and system which we found in
other departments were displayed here.
There are about 600 acres of land con
nected with and belonging to the Asylum
at present There were only about 225
acres belonging to tbe aayium when Dr.
Murphy, the present superintendent, took
charge thirteen years ago, and since that,
375 acres have been added, but at differ
ent times in small and large lots and at
various prices One hundred acres of
this lying in front and to the right and
left of the buildings have been thor
oughly manured and prepared, and now
nearly all of this is well set in grass and
clover.
The appearance of this beautiful and
spacious front displays in a rcmarkablo
degree tbe skill and taste of the super
intendent. Of this amount about sixty
or seventy acres have been purchased
from Major Wilson, lying west of the
asylum, and through which a small
stream runs, the banks of which are now
being straightened and tbe channel deep
ened, mainly by the working patients.
This large front is Leautihed by quite
a number of native shade trees, and quite
a number of ornamental and nut trees
have been planted but are too small to
furnish either shade or fruit.
Dr. Murphy, tbe superintendent, and
his assistant physiican, spared no pains
to help us in visiting every place and in
specting everything connected with the
asylum. Amongst the many things viss
ited by us was the cattle barn where we
saw sixty head of the finest cattle I ever
saw. Some of the milk cows would
weigh 1,500 pounds. They were engaged
in milking while we were there.
We also saw the s eward engaged in
hauling up from the fields load alter load
of corn stalks all of which was inime
diately taken charge by four hands and
put into tbe cutting knife run by a steam
engine and by means of a belt with stops
on it carried up the chopped corn and
stalks to the top of tbe building, a silo,
where it was deposited in air-tight rooms
for use of the cattle during the winter.
The only corn they buy is for tbe mules
and horses used in the cultivation of the
farm, . hauling wood and provisions and
the driving. We were also shown the
different lots of hogs which are rained
for the use of the asylum. They have
about 100 head of hogs which will aver
age about 200 pounds each, making about
20,0000 pounds of pork, or two-thirds of
the amount needed at the asylum.
Tbe committee came away with the
firm belief that this magnificent institus
tion is well managed, and doing for North
Carolina a most valuable work.

The Late James R Hutchison
Action of the Session of Mallard Creek Church
The committee appointed by the session
of Mallard Creek Church to prepare a
suitable minute on the death of Mr. Jas.
R Hutchison, which occurred at his resi
dence on August 15, 1895, would offer tbe
following paper for adoption :
In the death of this venerable and be
loved brother the church has sustained
the loss of a most faithful, liberal and de
voted servant; the session a wise coun
sellor, a conscientious, judicious brother
officer, a man always prompt and regular,
ever ready for every good word and
work; and tbe pastor a most sj mpathetic
and generous personal friend.
Mr. Hutchison was eminent for his
personal piety and for his spirituality of
mind; for his modesty, gentleness and
charity; for his zeal in the Master's
work, for his love for the vtnerable
church of bis fathers and for his devo
tion to all her interests and her highest
welfare. He loved Zion above his chief
joy; kfor her his prayers constantly as
cended; and wben ottered in tbe public
assembly they were ever to the edifica
tion of the people. For the poor and
needy he. always had generous hand to
help and a word of so much genuine sym
patby and cheer that often his sympathy
ministered more of comfort and help t' an
even his generosity. As an elder in the
church be so magnified his office as to
present a rare model of excellence wor
thy of all imitation.
In his last illness, his sufferings were
very great and long protracted. These
ho bore with a christian fortitude and pa
tience. He was sweetly submissive to
God's will, and he gave many edifying
evidences that he was being made per
fect through suffering. To him death
was only a blessed release and simply the
door through which he passed to the ens
joyment of that perfect and eternal rest
which remains for the people of God.
To the community, tbe church, the ses
tion and the pastor, bis loss is very great.
But while we mourn the fall of a great
man in Israel, we bow in humble sub
mission to the great Head of the church,
who makes no mistakes as to whom he
calls, or as to tbe time and manner of their
calling. Nor do we sorrow as others
who have no hope; for we believe that
those"who sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him.
We recommend that a copy of this
paper be furnished to the family of our
deceased brother, another be furnished
for publication to the papers be. was ac
customed to take for so many long years;
that it be spread upon the minutes of our
session, and that a page of these minutes
be devoted to his memory, being in
scribed kwlth his name, the dates of his
hirth And death and of his induction into
the office of a ruling elder of this con
gregation. Respectfully Submitted,

Hairs Turning to Worms.
No doubt many of our readers have
beard what is sometimes alleged by those
not properly informed, that a hair in
water will turn to a worm, at least cer
tain kinds of hairs under certain condi
tions. Mr. E. -F. Rowe found yesterday
morning in a rain barrel in bis yard
which had cot been used recently, a num
ber of the whitish, repulsive looking,
wiggling worms, upon the" existence of
which tbe story is based.
Some of tbe worms are nearly as large
around one end as a lead pencil for the
distance of about an inch. Then it
bluntly reduces in size to the size of a
hair. This small part in some is dark
colored like a hair throughout the several
iccbes of its length, while in others it is
dark only towards the tip, the rest having
a whitisb color tho same as the body and
giving evidence also of lite.
One suggestion advanced as to the ex
planation wan that some insect bad laid
its eggs on hairs or bristles that had got
ten into tho water and when hatched tbe
product remained attached to the hair and
the latter would be mistaken for a part of
it. lbat migbt be in some cases but not
in this, for plainly the living worm and
the apparently dead hair blend together
forming oneexisting body of whatever
kind that might be.
Dr,C. Duffy informs us that be has
many a time seen the same kind of worm
in a tan ooze, and that they -exist in stil
unclean water which the sun reaches it
takes such conditions to hatch them.
Tbe doctor furthermore informs us that
he would'noi be at all. surprised Fsomf
of them could now be found in cinema
around tin
Tho doetor says tbe hair like project ion
is himply an extension of the woiun.a
kind f tail they have and he tells us
moreover that if a bottje containing
some of them were placed in the warm
ravKofthe sun, it coulii bo eon what
kind of an insect was iho parent of the
worms a they would change to it in a
short time. A'ewbern Journal.

. Technical Education.
Many times within the last decado we
have urged upon the Southern people the
necessity of introducing technical educa
tion upon a permanent and extended
scale. Trained workers in many depart
ments of industry is a prime necessity.
The trained mind, the trained hand
those most olten go together if the best
results are to be obtained. Teach girls
to do well certain household arts and nes
cessitiea and they not only can do them
better than the untrained, but tbey will
always be helpful and resourceful to them
selves, and if seeking places will always
be preferred. Teach the boys the me
chanics and they will eclipse those less
favored. The best work done in any de
partment of labor is that done by experts,
by men and women who have received
the best instruction, have been educated
in the best schools of technical curricu-
um. We think it to be greatly desired
that a fair proportion of the youth of the
South shall be thoroughly taught in well
equipped technical schools. If this were
more generally done there would not be
so many dead failures and dead beats.
Dr. R. a. Thurston is Professor in the
Mechanical Arts College at Cornell Uni
versity. In a recent address he discussed
wisely and well the kind of mechanical,
technical education we have so often
urged as a great desideratum in Southern
education. He is strongly in favor of
State education. He thinks that the only
way for the youth of our country to obtain
technical education is through the State.
In other words, that such schools must
be provided or the education will be lack
ing, we tnink in the matter 01 common
school education in mechanical arts, that
the State must provide way and means
or to a great extent the schools will be
acking or will languish if established.
Dr. Thurston thinks ail education shall
be State help. We are not pr pared to
accept so sweeping a statement. The
technical schools must be supported, we
may not doubt. Dr. lburston says:
"Itfinally comes to this that tbe States
must ultimately be looked to to support
all classes of schools, if all classes are to
Buceed. This is a phase of change that
we now plainly see going on, It is thus
necessary that everyone who has any
power in this matter should do what he
can to secure stronger support for schools
depending upon tuition fees, and in other
cases endeavor to find a way to interest
the Legislatures of the States and to se
cure from them that effective and per
manent support without which our whole
great technical system of education must
eventually fall. This seems to me tbe
most serious cloud upon the outlook for
popular and technic! education in the
future. Education is becoming more and
more costly, and the difficulties in tho
way of supplying it are of the gravest.
Education ought not to become more
costly. When people have less to live
upon, and have to stint at every turn,
there is no reason wby it shall cost more
to educate a boy or girl in 1895 than in
1845. - -.Luxurious living and certain
teaoherswho are extravagantly rewarded
make it higher for the toilers to get
education. But this should not be.
Wilmington Messenger.
Profits on Cotton.
Estimates of tbe size of the present cot
ton crop differ widely, but it is certain
that the crop will be worth to the farm
ers wboraiseu it far more than was the
great crop of last year.
Tbe New York Journal of Commerce
estimates the cost of last year's crop at
8250,971,984 and the cost of tho present
crop at only $204,143,320. If the crop
runs to 7,500,000 bales and sells for only
8 cents a pound it will bring $300,000,000
making a gross pront 01 ya.oob.boU and
a net profit of over $80,000,000.
The Journal of Commerce finds in these
figures the following impressive moral:
"Whatever variations future develop
ments may make in tbe items used in this
computation, it is nearly certain that the
crop of the current year will bring in no
ess money than the huge crop of last
year, and will probably bring in more;
that it will cost more than 1400,000,000
ess than tbe last crop, and that instead
of barely covering the cost of production
there will be a comfortable profit tor tbe
planters. The lesson to the south is to
raise no more cotton than there is a good
market for, and, incidentally, to raise its
own corn and pork instead of buying
them out of tbe proceeds of the cotton in
order to. meet his bill at the factor's."
The Negro Problem
One of tho most notable features of the
opening exercists of tl.e Atlanta exposi
tion, was tho speech of Booker T. Washing
ton, the colored president 01 the lueke
gee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school
wbo.epoke for t-he Negroes. The speech
was at once received with great favor
throughout the country, and it is still be
ing discussed in most of the leading
newspapers, North and South. Ibe main
points in Washington s speech may be
summarized as follows:
"Ignorant and inexperienced, it was
natural for the Negro, when he first got
his liberty, to try to start at the top of
ladder and seek seats in tbe leg filatures
and in congress, rather than n the va
rious lines of industry.
",(. alever may bo the sins that tbe
South may bo called upon to answer for
it must be remembered that when it
comes to business puro and simple, this is
the only section that has ever given the
Negro a man s chance.
"The wisest among tbe Negroes see
and realize tbe utter absurdity of tbe
proposition lor social equality. In mat
ters social, the Negro is as separate as the
ringers on the hand and in matters essen
tial to mutual progress, be is as one as the
hand itself.
"Thd Negro has proved that as com
pared with tbe foreigner he is more
patient, moro faithful, more industrious,
more law abiding and less resentful. He
constitutes one-third of the population of
tbe bouth and he must either be one third
of her progress and prosperity or one
third of her ignorance and crime. The
more intelligent a man is the better citi
zen be becomes, and upon his treatment
depends the destiny of himself and the
people with whom his lot is cast."
