bully yet realized by the town, and though all regret the destruction of the industry and have much desire to see it rebuilt there in yet no concerted pay but little attention to anything they publish, feeling that they have very little original matter if they steal from all their exchanges the same as they do from us. Last week our local eotem gave it a place in his columns, “There are people who 5 it andfiwonder why they don't rise more rapidlv in the business work , “etvvc.’ These were the words with which we some weeks ago, commenced an original paragraph in this paper. Two weeks later. we saw the same paragraph in some of our exchanges. and THE CHRONICLE was not given credit. hose exchanges being in the habit of dealing so much from our columns we We must positively refuse to publish obituary poetry only on the bases of advertising rates at ten cents a line.

That some considerable ‘ sacrifice fshould be made by the town to re-es- I tablish the factory is beyond all doubt. | Even now the loss is felt, and this is _| only the beginning. The annual wage bill paid by the Company ran from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars,and 1 a large amount of this money was spent right here in Durham. It is true that some of it may not have passed from the Factory laborer to some par- ticular individual, but from the very fact. of this money being in circulation there was sure to be some of it come your way and some come our way.

To grant a few thousand dol- I lars for the nursing of an infantindus- . try must not be looked upon as a dead iloss, any more than the rent a man action taken on the part of the citizens. The meeting on Friday night seemed to be unanimous in granting assistance far from unanimous in gran-ting terms demanded bv the company. Many it is quite true do not understand the terms, and a large amount of explana- tion and discussion will be necessary to bring the ratepayers into line. It is quite safe to assume that every citizen would like to see the factory rebuilt. on condition that too much as- sistanre should not be required. To make this clear the demands of the company are briefly as follows :â€"â€"They want a ten thousand dollar bonus, a ten thousand dollar loan for ten years without, interest repayable at $1000 a year, the repayments to the town to begin one year after the loan is ad- vanced to the company. If this grant pays for the use of a house. to live in is to be. regarded in any such manner. \Ve'll venture to assert that property values have much decreased in this town since a week ago, and it now re- mains with the ratepayers whether or not a further diminution in value should be allowed to go on. Let the matter now be fully discussed and fully considered in a broad minded spirit, and should a vote be taken on the question of helping the company to rebuild let it be based on the best matured thought. The Town Council met Tuesday night and put through a by-luw to grant the company a bonus of ten thousand dollars and a. loan of ten thousand dollars for ten years with- out interest, the loan to be repaid in ten annual payments of a thousand dollars each. Voting takes place on Friday the. 21st day of April. This is Good Friday and We think the electors will do good work and make it a good Friday for the town of Durham by voting to support the by-law. People are already beginning to feel a dead- ness about the place and it will soon be worse if the factories are allowed dwindle down. Rebuilding would be a great benefit to the laboring now and to all classes Inter on. This was on Friday night, and the iwmnimity of feeling would lead one xsuacquainted with the outbursts of Durham enthusiasm, to conclude at once that building operations might be remmmcnced at once. Saturday, however, revealed the moi-contents and the knots of interested citizens found everywhere on the streets were by the town. A resolution at that meeting was carried unanimously giv- ing the town Council a. free hand to submit a by-law, to cancel the former ten thousand dollar loan, and further to grant another loan of ten thousand or lt'ss for a period of ten years with- out interest. is made by the town the company then agrees to bind themselves to sell non- cumulative 7 per vent. preference stock to the extent of ten thousand dollars, and they bind themselves to rebuild at once provided for increased capacity to furnish annual employment the year round to sixty men, instead of forty us the former conditions demand. The Company feels that a capital of less than $30,000 would leave them handicapped for funds and the busi- ness could not be successfully conduct- ed. 'l‘he experience of the past five years seems to justify them in this position. notwithstanding the opin- ions of some that a smaller capital would put them on a good working basis. The giving of the bonus is the great striking point in the minds 0! many of the electors who express a willingness now that a twenty thou- sand dollar loan he. given free of in- terest and with usual tax exemptions, the town of course to hold a first mortgage on the whole plant as secur- ity for the money advanced. These are briefly the different phases of the use. At time of writing we are un- able tn even guess what will be done, and like others will have to wait fur- ther (levelnpements. 1y, but we have it on the best author- ity that a Furniture-Specialty Factory will be erected here if the other goes on. The Specialty \Vorks will ask no assistance except tax exemptions, and will furnish constant employment to fifteen to twenty-five hands. The Flaneur in The Mail and Empire is worried over a. series of articles on the marriage question, the nonsense of some of which would make your head swim. Men and women alike are pounding away at the subject, but we fail to see what good is going to come of it. There are no doubt some who like to see their “ideas” in print, I and though some of the letters have the appearance of coming from sen-l sible people we have grave doubts whether the literary splurges will re- sult in matrimonial mating. \Vhen a. fellow wants to get married, he should wade in. shut his eyes, pop the ques- tion and hitch on, provided of course that he has enough ambition and com- mon sense to know how to provide for a wife and family. In making his sel- ection, it would be well fo ' a fellow to get a girl with enough gumption to darn her sttwkings. mend the holes in her petticoat and sew on her hubby’s trousers buttons. Some people want to get rich before getting married, and others want to marry a. girl with a rich dad. It isn’t our purpose to advise in the matter, more than to say that a fellow who wants to wait, till all the necessary conditions are right had bet- ter postpone the business for a thou- sand years or so. Among the masterpieces of hlund ering typOgraphy must be reckoned two perpetrated in a Southern coun- try newspaper. An editor at the South. wishing to congratulate Gen. Pillow after his return from Mexico as a battle-scarred veteran, was made by the types to characterize him as a ‘ battle scared veteran ” 'l‘he indig- nant general. rushinginto the editor- ial sanctum, demanded an explana- tion. which Was given, and a correc- tion promised in the next day’s paper. Judge of the editor’s feelings on the morrow when. as if "to heap horror upon horror’s head.” he found the general styled in the revised paragraph, “that bottle-scarred veteran.” 5.356 55 I certify the above to be a true statement of the accounts paid bv me as agent on be- half of John McKechnie on the abov ed nam- ed election.

Spring is at Hand (Mail and Empire) I have been several times recently asked why no opinions of my own have been given reSpecting the dis- cussion on the marriage question, which has occupied so prominent a place in these columns {or several weeks? The question is perfectly fair, but a little unnecessary; because my regular readers cannot help being pretty well acquainted with my Opin- ions on the marriage question. We wanted the views of ordinary men and women on the reason or reasons for the constantly reiterated state- ment that marriage is on the decline; and we had those opinions in super- abundant supply. Never have I re- ceived such a mass of letters on any single topic. Letters from the women were much more numerous than from the men. and the women’s letters were incapably ahead in the common- sense views expressed,in grasp of the question. and in literary style and argument. The men often talked through their hats, but the women wrote feelingly on a subject of deep and general interest to them all. Most of the men evidently shy at the expense of matrimony and the extravagance of the modern woman. The women urge that they are will. ins: and able as their mothers were to make careful and conscietious wives to the right sort of men.and as to the charge of extravagance, they argue, and I believe. with consider- able reason. that the average single man to-day spends more money in selfish pleasures that would well keep a wife, and that it is the men more than the women who want Hto start where their parents left 03.” As far as this discussion has gone the women have led easily in the argument; and frankly. I cannot understand the manner of man who. with eyes and a tongue of his own. has to come to a newspaper editor to find him a wife. My views on the matter are soon stated :--I believe marriage to be the natural. social and moral con- dition for men and women to live under; and that the institution of marriage ensures all round the largest amount of personal comfort, develops what is best throughout the community. and is absolutely necessary to the well-being and pros- perity of the state.
