It was distinctly a farmers, and a Democratic Legislature. Dem- ocrats of other than the agricul- tural class were as conspicuous- It absent as Republicans, and the Democratic: party and the Farmers Alliance must equally . between them take the .rexion sibility for the deeds "done .-y the body, whether they be good or whether they be evil. w It was a liberal-minded body, progress slve in its ideas, and though it had niggardly fits these were of short duration and no public in terest will suffer from legisla tive close-fistedness. : It is stat ed by the Raleigh News ' and Observer that tbe appropna tions exceed those uf the last La?orislature by S150.00). Mr. Hotinan. chairman of the House finance committee, says tne ex cess is but 150.000 to $75,000 ... . There has cropped tut here and mere a aisposiuoa u criuuiDc the body for having increased expenditures, but people should bear in mind that States do not stand still and that as popula tion increases the demand for increased expenditures increas es necessarily. But while the appropriations were increased the tax rate was not it was left at 25 cents on the flOO. It would teem that there will ne cessarily be a deficit in the treasury before the next Gener al Assembly meets, but Mr. Hol- a . 1 fc. man nopes not, pasing m u.u in part upon the fact that there will be a new assessment of pro- ert this year. ' It would appear to nave been tare, in view 01 tne increased appropriations, to have raised to the tax rate to say 28 cents, but Mr. Ilolman is A safe and careful man in finan cial matters, and wo accept his action in this Instance) as pro dent and right. ir-t t , , i The body enacted some nota Uy commendable legislation. we refer nartlcnlarlT to its re- establishment of the geological surrey; to its appropriation of 125,000 for an exhibit of the State's capacities and resources aiine iucago bxjwaiuuB, tw k . 1 .t aj. ..! a. the law nrohibitintr tbe sale of ctiTttMttM t tainersf tb w makinar comTmlsory the teach in&r in the public schools of the nature and effect of alcoholic stimulants upon the human sys tem. A former Legislature having established a College of Agriculture and JUecaanic Arts for white boys, the 1 establish ment by this Legislature f a similar institution for the col ored race and also of an Indus trial and Training 8chool for white girls, followed as a mat ter of course, ine imposition of a tonnasre tax on fertilisers for the support 01 tne Depart ment of Agriculture was of course proper and expected. 80 also was the increase of the school tax to la cents. The body dealt in a spirit of liberal' ity wltn me cnanaDie inaura' tions of the 8tate. The f amili es and friends ' of those upon whom God has laid his hand,! deorivino? them of sieht, hear tng or reason, snouta .uu n for this, and those who control these institutions should justify the confidence it reposed in them by increasing their effici . w . i. ency if possible ana oy an econ omical and judicious use of the funds appropriated for their sup !. . , a.,.-. Utner imponant bvchoo aueu was the re-apportionunent 01 the State in congressional and senatorial districts and the change of law by which each solicitor Is hereafter to be elect ed by vote of the whole State in stead of by tbe vote ot bis own dietrict as heretofore. Important measure which failed were the bill to reduce tbe rate of interest from I to per cent and the bill to pay solid- tort salaries instead of by tne fM svstem. ' .Upon the whole the body was conservative in iu action and doubtless meant to do w bat was rlcrht. The darkest blot Upon iu record is the public printing transaction, and this was not an "original sin." It simply perpetuated it wrong of twenty fiva vears' standintr. but it was marl tne mora consDicuous BY .- . the fact that this Leffislature went in on the "reform" Idea and that a responsible man and one whose party record Isnn- imoeachablo made a direct pro position to taksthe printing at a price IS per cent, neiow mm. evi which tbe contract was given and to furnish a satisfactory bond for the proper and rauntu t arformance of -the work ac company tog this proposition with the bromine not to reduce ttm nav of the workmen below the woek for tMDastfoap years. it WUQ'(MHenC0iU tlUUk u new bklderUa thacraathre of . a corporiatiw-TIklkt isCitfe true and evejUf it we.heor sohie one else who would have gladly done so should have been given the opportunity to save the State the 14.000 which has been riven ; to the public printer as .sub- sidy. The Landmark tries not to So small about these public matters an f,00 a year is not much to a great state alter ail. Moreover, ff any; one individual is to get it there i no-one in the State whom we woijld rather tee have it than our ubie and genial young f ri. ad of the State Chronicle. Bnt is it right? j 1 . ' A tact which needs to be em phasized in speaking of this Letrielature and its work is this: that whereas it was elected to "reform" things wer find upon its adjournment that it has left things very much as' it found them. It has not reduced taxes it could not do that; it undid nothing material that had" been done heretofore, because-notby ing very wrong had been done. It Bimtrly in the main took the course of the other Legislatures we have had for twenty years, which was an admission that its predecessors for that period had managed things prett well. We do not say these things to belittle the body which has fust adjourned, but to point out that the people have been targely misled by clamor into btltevinir that the State needed to b fum ed inside out. The fanners have for . - years been sending their most trusted men of all clas&es to the Legislature. ; ' This year they sent' their most .trusted men, but only of their own class and order,' and lol . results 'an the same.

The Manufacturers' Record of the 7th instant says: 1 be past week has shown an activity in the industrial life of the south that is amazing.

C; a 4,000-spindle mill at King's Mountain in North Carolina, and a mill at Salisbury in the same state; a $200,000 company has been or ganised in Philadelphia. to es tablish pine straw bagging- fac tories and soap works in con nection in the south, while a $75,000 pine fibre company has been chartered in south Caro lina; a $50,000 horse collar fac tory, $50,000 brick works, a 250.000 electric comoanv at Cisco, $1,000,000 town building company at Halves ton, are some of the new enterprises charter ed in Texas; Staunton, Va., is to have a 400 liarrel flour mill and Shendun a $40,000 plaster company, while a f 100,000 steel . a " company and three land com names with an aggregate of 1500,000 of stock have been or ganized; West Virginia shows a 100,000 nre-brick company, a $30,000 coal mining company. and also a $30,000 chinaware company to be organized; in North Carolina a $50,000 slate company and a $35,000 quarry ing company are among the week's new enterprises: a 200.- 000 coal mining company and a $100,000 quarrying company in Kentucky: a ra.wo cotton-seed oil mill in Camden, S.

While this list briefly summarizes a few of the more mportant enterprises of the week, as long as it is, it does not by any means cover the whole field nor give a full iJoa of the remarkable activity which is everywhere being shown. As the spring advances and good weather enables build ing operations to be resumed. the south will be the busiest part of America, and its ad vance during 18'Jl will, in ai probability, far surpass the re cord of any previous year.

The large and beautiful chrys anthemum known as the "Mrs. Alpheus Hardy," which has re cently become such a favorite, .. has an interesting history. Sevi eral years ago there came to ,t Boston a voung Japanese boy.' Joseph Neesima, who was very ' anxious to obtain an education that would fit him for mission . ary work in his own- country.,, ne attracted the notice 01 tne , late Alpheus Hardy, whose.. philanthropy was well known,' and by his kindness . the ' poor bov received a thorough , colle giate and theological education. tie returned home, where ne abored with great acceptance ' until his death, a few months . ago. soon alter his return , to- Japan, wishing to make some . expression of his gratitude, voung Neesima sent to Mrs. . Hardy, a collection 01 thirty chrysanthemum plants which' he had gathered in his native country. Mrs. Hardy placed these with an experienced florist, who gave " the aonarentlv worthless plants excellent care, and was reward ed by a rich collection of bios , soms. Among these was .the queenly flower which has at tracted so much attention, and is said to be unrivaled in the st of chrysanthemums through out the world. To this Mrs. Hardy's name has been given. it is of a pure white color, very, arge, and has incurving petals. On the outer ones are fouaa small but distinct spines. Great pains have been taken by florists to discover its origin, and pho tographs of the blossoms have been sent to japan, out at last accounts no plant producing such flowers had been found in ; that country.
