' Prof. Morrow, of the Illinois Indus
trial University, s.id truly in an addres
delivered recentl) : There is increasing
need for wide intelligence and education
on the part of the farmers. In the gen
eral past it. has been comparatively easy
to make a livelihood by farming. This
i becoming less true. There is a nar
row profit. It is more diffioult to be
oome a land owner. The rate of advance
in the price of land deor eases. There is
more! intense competition. Oar systems
of farming are becoming more eompler
A wider intelligence, more knowledge
of business in general and of his special
business in particular will be essential
to the sueoessful farmer. The average
standard of edueatkn is advancing.
There is much more general recognition
of the valaa of special eduoation in
schools for those designed to engage in
many otber oallinga. There will be ia
ereaaed appteoiation of agricultural
schools. The farmers of the United
IStates are the equals of their fellows in
any land in intelligence and in adapta
tion 'of effort to circumstances. They
are much better appreciating the value
of many means for agricultural eduoa
tion than they did formerlv. The
aeriealtural press aad societies are do-
inar more than ever before, and are held
in his-h esteem. But as a class farmer
are conservative. There is need for ct
ample and precept to induce adoption of
better methods, mere is slowness to
reioeniai changed conditions which
make changes in methods deoirablQ.
Rather than captious and unreasonable
jritioism: rather than ignoring or delay
ing their possibilities, it would be wise
to give to the agricultural eolleges of
the country coram support ana aia in
their! efforts: to ioarn what they can and
are trying to do for agriculture; to p Mat
out to young men that the welfare of this
nation will largely depend upon the
arosperity of its farmers the molt
aumerous class of ' ch ains; that the
arosperity of ihe farmers will largely
depend upon their intelligence and edu
cation; that the standard which suflhed
in the past is now too low;thatany usefu
knowledge relating especially to his
calling will ba especially helpful; that
theae colleges while they can never
make unnecessary praotioal know lege
and! exoorieaoo gained on the farm can
do tery much to help one to be a better
farmer, a better eitiien, ft wiser, mdre

Was hih 0 tom , D. C. Nov. 24. The
distriot oommitaionera today announced
their decision in the matter of the
Washington polioe investigation. Major
Walker, chief of polioe is allowed to
resign: .Lieut. Arnold is dismissed;
Lieut Kellev is reprimanded and sus-
S ended for three months without pay;
ergeaht Diggins is reprimanded and re-
duoed to ranks fcr three .months,
and private Edelin is diemissjed. Ar
nold was charged with false statements
in referer.ee to his tuperior efficer, to the
efftct that Sunerintendent Walker tuui
given instructions which amounted to
the establishing a system of espionage
ever the private life of public men to the
end that the information so gained
might be used in influencing legisla
tion, such as the police authorities
might desire hereafter. Kelly was a
witness in the oaae and his testimony
to some extent corroborated that
of Arnold. In his own behalf
a a.--- oa
ne nad gained somewhat a simi
lar understanding of Walker's remarks
as Arnold had; but the reason aaiigred
for bis punishment is, that hustat
ments to the commissioners in a prior
informal investigation, disagreed with
his sworn, statements upon , the official
and open investigation.
sergeant Djggros is the man to whom
Arnold gave his version of Walker's
remarks to his lieutenant Diggins'
offence was an indiscreet speech! in re
peating Arnold's remarks, after being
cautioned not to do so.
Private Edelin is the man to whom
Diggins talked too freely. Edelin had
grudge against Superintendent
vValker, txcauf e Walker had taken him
fx cm deteotive duty snd put him on pa
trol.. He ppedily spread among the other
disaffected persons Arnold's story, as
repeated by Diggins, and it became
public, very muoh amplified, necessita
ting this investigation. Mji-r Walker
had tendered his resignation when the
affair became publio scandal. It is
accepted because of the suggestions to

St. Louib, Not. 24 The oourt of
apnea's has rendered a decision holding
a ire are binding. Suit was brought by
the Globe Printing Co. against State &
Co. on a bill for advertising. The de
fendants pleaded the contract not bind
ing, because made over a telephone
wire. Judgment was rendered against
defendants in the circuit oourt and an
appeal was taken. The oourt of ap
peals affirms the judgment of the lower
court. The opinion was delivered by
Judge Thompson, who says: "The tele
phone, although a recent invention, has
come into anon common use, that we
think eourts may take judicial notice of
the general manner and extent to which
it is made use of by a business commu
nity. No doubt many important busi-
ness transactions are every day made by
telephone of precisely the same charac
ter as that whioh the witness was allow
edjo testify in this ease. A person is
called up by one desiring to communi
cate with him by means of the connec
tion in their respective wires, through
what is known as the central cmoe. A
conversation ensues. It may relate to
most important matters of business.
The use of the instrument facilitates
business to such an extent, it would be
very prejudicial to the interests
of a business community, if the eourts
were to hold that business men are not
entitled to act upon the fact of beicg
able to give in evidenoc.to juries, replies

Richmond Dispatch.
Mr. James B. Pace, who, with Gen
eral Logan and a number of Riohmond
and Northern napatalists, acquired oon
trol of the Riohmond and Danville sys
tem by purohase, on Thursday last, of a
majority of the stock of the Danville
Company returned to his home here
from New York yesterday (Tuoeday)
morning. He is represented as being
well satisfied with the situation.
Colonel A S. Bufbrd, president of the
company, left here for New York last
night, and today will have a conference
with some of the new owners . It is not
certain that Colonel Buford will be re
tained in the presidency, but the value
of his servioes seem to be so well appre
ciated that there is little doubt he will
be offered some place of oonstquenoe in
the re-organisation. GoloJul Buiord is
on terms of friendship with Mr. Paoe
and General Logan, and is alao well
known to, and highly esteemed by
several of their iiflaential associates in
this enterprise.
The prospects are bright for a re
moval of the offices of the 00m pan)
baok frcm Washington to Richmond,
but it may take several months to make
the change
The R ohm nd stockholders in the
Riohmond and Danville are: T. M.
Logan, James H. Dooley, J. B. Paoe,
and E. D. Christian. General Logan
and Major Dooley began to work up the
scheme quietly last March to get con
trol of the great southern system. The
Danville stock was then selling at about
70 per share.
It is stated now by those in a position
to know, that the Standard-Oil people
are not in the new sjndioate to a very
great extent and that the road will cer
tainly be managed by General Logan
and his associates in the interest of Vir
ginia, and not in the - interest of Wali
street. That muoh has been agreed
upon officially. Formerly the Terminal
Company was controlled by the Din-
vilie Company. Hereafter, under Paoe,
Logan & Co., the Terminal Cvmpan)
will control the Uanville, and throab
it all of its lease-holds.
To unify their debt and otherwise ad
vance their interests, the Richmond &
Danville railroad have put upon reoord
a mortgage-deed conveying their pro
perty and lease-holds to the Central
Trust Company, of New York, to se
cure the payment of $11,000,000 of 5
per eent bone-, which they propose to
issue in lieu of bonds outstanding. This
oourse the company have long meditat
ed, and the sales of a msjarity of stock
on Thursday last did not change their
Jurpose. Ine tax on tne reeu was
11,000.

Nnw You, Nov. 24. A few minutes
after 11 o'e'eck Beoorder 8mythe made
his appearance in court, and at 11 40
the jury in the MiQaade ease came into
the room. Foreman Linn stated that
they had not agreed upon a verdict,
adding: "We have remained the same
sinoe 12 o'clock Monday night."
Recorder Hmythe said he did not
think it was worth while to keep the
jury longer, and aaxea distnot at
torney Martine for his opinion.
Mr. Martine thought that if the status
of the jury had remained unchanged since
12 o'olock Monday night they had bet
ter be discharged.
Recorder omythe thereupon dis
charged the jury.
District Attorney Martine then ad
dressed the oourt. He felt that he had
perfoimed his whole duty in this mat
ter and his assistants had worked man
fully. They had presented a full case,
and he is at a loss to understand how
the jury or any jury could fail to agree
upon some verdict. He felt that the re
sult of this trial was a public calamity
and the case should be called for a
speedy retrial. He therefore moved for
a new trial Monday next. Mr. New
combe5 thought he needed more time to
prepare for a new trial. The Recorder
thought that the lawyers had had ample
preparation and he therefore granted
the motion for a new trial to begin
Monday next at 11 a. m.

Washihqtoh, N. C, Nov. 24. A dis
natoh from Columbia. S. C reports that
Senator Wade Hampton and a party of
friends started out bunting Monday
morning. The party became separated
and in the afternoon, while riding
through thick woods, Hampton's gun
was caught by a vine and discharged.
A load of buckshot entered the head of
his horse and killed him. tThe horse
fell on the Senator, and he was severely
hurt, his leg being badly matmed. Af
ter several hours painful effort he got
loose, and, with the aid of a stiok, hob
bled on one leg, weak and almost ex
hauBted for five hours through the dense
wood toward home. The party reached
the Senator's house about o 0 clock, ex
Eeoting to find him there. As it grew
ite and he did not return, they started
to look for him, and found him a short
distance from the house limping slowly
toward it.

applied to the President for reinstate-
irtamt. lumiKf that hi a (vffnduia ha 1
been no greater than that of Benton.
and that he (Stone) was entitled to Lki
treatment with Benton.
President Cleveland declines to rein
state Stone, pointing out that the two
eases are not parallel, and that mitigat
ing circumstances in JSenton s ease do
not exist as to 8 tone. The President
accepts Stone's statement' that his cam
paign speeohes were few in number, aud
made at times which did not interfere
with his official duties and that his
duties have been faithfully dkohsrgod.
But St ne is a republican, an appointee
a previous administration, allowed to
retain his omee. His campaign work
was in opposition to the existing admin
istration. Tnder this state of facts the
President affirms his former action in
suspending Stone, for reasons which be

'Curator" in your issue of the 24th,
will upon examination be found, not
to be so muoh an argument against the
reduction of interest by statute law, as
a defence of the national banks for the
high 'rate of interest charged by them
And in this view the artiole is strong
A bank with a capital of say $50,000 to
$100,000, with officers whose united
salaries amount to say ftl.000, whioh
annualW doclares a dividend of 8 per
cent, and is subject to the burden and
restrictions imposed by the national
bank law, .maybe obliged to declare
tha. the "necessities of the times 'will'
make it neocssary habitually" to violate
a law which reduces the rate of interest
to a point whioh will improve the con
dition of the people. : I do not mean by
this illustration to suggest that ''Cura
tor' is eonnccted with one of these
banks; and I really think our Raleigh
banks have done in the matter of in
terest as well as eould be expected of
them, considering the way they are
hafflperel. ' There should be an amend
ment of our banking law, so as
to : relieve those institutions from
the pre s'ng necessity of demanding in
North Carolina eight per oant for the
use of money when every candid man
must admit ihat suoh a rate is destruc
tive of regular systematic agrieultural
and commercial enterprise. Now leav
ing out of consideration the necessity
whioh it may he compels the natio tal
banks to charge eight per cent, lr t us
examine the grounds upon whioh long
loans, by individuals not banks, not
sixty days paper, it is contended should
bear eight per cent interest. Sayt
Curator":!
f The character of our laws, whioh
enables a debtor to delay and hinder a
creditor almost indefinitely in the col
lection of his debt when the debtor
forces his creditor to a lawsuit "
Now 4 Curator" wants a lower rat
of, ioterest than eight per eent, and he
says; "a man can bo forced to loan hit
money," &i. What is there in our
laws' whioh prevents an individual
from loaning- on mortgage, at a
reasonable rate of interest, say fou
per emt and having it secured 1a snob
a Way that there can be no delay in the
foreclosure of the mortgtge in eise of
default? If there is anything, let
'Curator" suggest it, and the legisla
ture will no doubt make the amendment
But there nothing in the present leare
which will prevent the speedy oollectioT
of a debt pr -perly secured if the lende:
will only take the trcnble to see thai
the papers are properly drawn and re
oorded. li the unwillingness upon the
prt of the lender to take this trouble s
sufiisient reason for over-burdening the
active, industrious business men of the
Rtte by exaoting an excessive rate o
i?ifbuTa'BBay, 'aiTVant "Y
lower rate of interest.
The other arguments in favor of the
present law may be examined hereafxr

INO IN A HOBJUBLB DIATB
A few miles from Liberty Hill, in
Williamson oounty, Texas, is the plan
tation of Charles Baker, a well to do
farm??, who recently lost his wife.
About a month ago the neighbors
found that Baker's mind was becoming
affected. Suddenly he developed into
a raving maniac, and his servants fled
from the place. Officers visited the
plantation but could(not find Baker. Two
weeks passed and every day the neigh
bors heard the firing of guns on Baker's
plantation. Investigation showed that
the maniao was amusing himself in kill
ing his live stock. He would shoot
everything he saw moving, even the
chickens.
Tho neighbors finally determined to cap
ture him . They saw himnter the house
Sunday, nd immediately guarded all
avonues of escape. A, J. Miller, John
Miller and P. 8. Eg an entered the house
while others stood guard. Eg an and
Miller started up stairs, where the ma
niao suddenly confronted them at the
top He opened fire, shooting Miller
ix the shoulder, iiflicting a serious
wound. Both men retreated before the
desperate man, who kept up a continu
ous firing. Several times Baker tried
to leave the house, but finding every
door and window guarded he became
perfectly furious, and rushing to the
upper chamber, seised a riior, plaood
himself before the window whore the
neighbors, could get a good view of
htm. and then deliberately cut his throat
add stood there bleeding to death.
Hearing Egan oommg up ptatrs he
taraed, and notwithstanding the gaping
wound, attempted to kill his neighbor
but the bullet missed the mark, where
upon he turned the pistol against his
head, fired and fell dead. Baker was
highly respected. He eame from Illi
nois and leaves valuable property.
