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 udUeBtialaad more msefol man. v I WASHINGTON.

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 L - 1 1 1 .... . nis men waien ne aomittea to nave made, that the members of the polioe force should actively interest themselves to ix flue nee legislation.

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 which they receive to eommunreations made by them to persons at theirusual nl.N. jv kn.in.ca m .Via mmmvm w V lMaa0 IIP m mj .

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. Tna Baodlo Jary Ptaagr . 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. THE KNIGHTS ate Hart. 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 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.

The very well written artiole signed '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.
