A Reduction of 1C2-3 PcrConr. Sludo --Cotton Rate Reduces oa wjr. C. Hallway. Tha netv railroad commissioners will carry cut Governor Hassan's idea of reducing passenger rates in tha State. At a meeting last vreek resolutions were introduced by Chairman Caldwell cf the commission that notice bo served cn tho Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Lino and Southern0 P.ailxvay to show 'causo why the fares for tho transportation of rassengers should not be rednced. The Seaboard Air Lino ia summoned to show cause before tho commission Jan. Sjtb, tha Coast Line and its branches Jan 28th, and the Southern and its branches Jan. 2?th, why rates, should not bo reduced. ! The divisions of the Seaboard sum moned to appear before tha Commis sion and sho-v causo why passenger rates should not be leducod. aro the lale?gh and Gaston Baiiroad; the Sea board and Eoanoke; Georgia, Carolina and Northern, from Monroe, N. C. , to the South Carolina lines. Tho divis ions of the Atlantic Coast Lino that notico will be served cn are: Wilming ton aad Wcldon; Petersburg, Norfolk and Carolina; Wilson and Fayetteville; Tarboro Branch. The divisions cf the Southern Pai!tvay summoned are: Western North 'Carolina; Atlantic,, Tennessee and Ohio; North Carolina; Piedmpnt; Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line; Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta; North Western North Carolina. The commission passed an order ro asting the old rate cn cotron on the Western North Carolina and tho Atlan tic, Tennessee and Ohio read. On September 21st the commission issued an order making a uniform rate en cotton on all roads ia tha State. This, in some instances, lowered tbe rate very much, and especially on branch roads. 13ut it raised the rate on the Western North' Caroline railroad, that road having now a specially low rate for the purpose of developing mills, etc., in Western North Carolina. The action of tho commission gives tho shippers on tbe Western 'North Corolina road and O. T. & O. , an ad vantage cn the shipment of cotton. A hcwl will likely come from other; ship pers in the State. . j Commissioner Pearson said his idea was to makethe reduction 15 per cent. , but that 1G made the reduction one sixth of tho present rate, and such re duction would make the labors of the clerk lighter. " Mr. Pearson aid: "This is a peculiar class of goods, and the rate should be made as light as possible. It will help the factories in this Slate, at llaleigb, Wilraintou, Charlotte, Durham and clc-ewhere, and enable thern to compete with liichmondj" Dr. Abbott said ho was always in favor of reducing the fertilizer rates. t The commission issued an order re ducing fertilizer rates in the State iu car load shipments 16- per cent from tbe rates now in effect, tioa of one-6ixth, and Feb. 1st. This is arecluc will take effect Smallpox ar, Wilmington. Smallpox has developed at Wilming ton. This is the first genuine case of the disease reported in the Etato during the present epidemic.

Manufacturing Activity a Feature in the South Uush for Alaska Begun. Bradslreet's Commercial Eeview for the past week says: 4,Distribative trade remains rather quiet, mild weather throughout the oountry tending to check the distribution of winter goods. Prices generally remain steady or tend upward, except for some grades of iron, and orders for spring trade, where re ceived arc encouraging. Industrial ac tivity i3 most manifest at the West, where tho demand for iron is large. Tho feature cf the week was the plac ing cf an order by one railroad for 100, OOu tons cf eteei rails, with smaller orders aggregating inthe neighborhood of 2d,0tk tons more. Pig iron produc tion is now at an unprecedented rate, the furnace capacity being estimated at l,00U,tUO tons a month. . At the South manufacturing activity is a feature, sales of iron being very heavy. A good export demand for cotton and grain at steady prices is also a feature. At tha East a number cf strikes against wage reductions are reported or expected in the coiton industry. Some woolen mills, working on heavy men's wear goods, are refusing orders, their capacity be ing fully booked. Anthracite coal pro duction, it is hoped in that trade, will be restricted sufficiently, to allow of the advance of 20 to 40 cents per ton being maintained. Thq weather has been dis appointing at the Northwest, but an improvement iu the demand developed at some centres as the week advanced. The rush to Alaska ha3 already begun oa tha Pacific coast. Freight charters are reported lower. Expert trade con tinues large, a gain of 8 per cent, on the total j export of breadstuffs, cotton and mineral oils, cattle and hogs and provisions boiu shown both for De cember and the calendar year.

In speaking of the next presi dential election, Mr. Bryan said : "It may be we will bo strong enough to win without any outside help. But, nevertheless, I prefer to win with the Populists on cne side and the free sil ver Kepublicans on the other. And we must not forget when the victory is won,1 that in the campaign of last year it took mora courage on the part of the free silver Republicans to desert their old party, and mere self-sacrifice on the part cf tbo Populists to go . outside cf tboir organization for a presidential candidate, because he agreed with them oa the paramount issue, than it did for the Democrats to support the ticket which was nominated by their own na tional convention.
