Onr country spends annually for
agricultural experiments $725,000.
Mr. S. T. Ashe, late of the To
bacco Plant, has become night editor
of the Wilmington Messenger.
This country will have, after far
wishing biscuits enough for all our
people, 150,000,000 bushels of wheat
to export
The Daily Sun, of Durham, a
well edited morning paper, has en
tered upon its second semi-annual
volume, having completed six months
Success and long life to you, brother.
The drummers cost our merchants
over $1,000,000,000 annually. A
few years ago not one dollar was
spent in this way, and if this large
expenditure could have been foreseen
wise heads would have said that the
merchants could not stand it
GRISSOM GONE.
Dr. Grissom has at last resigned,
and our people are very much re
lieved. Both parties are, or should
be, willing to play quits. We have
beard not much but "Grissom" for
nearly two months, and we are ready
for a rest. While Dr. Grissom was
before the public as an officer, hold
ing his place of trust at their hands,
they had a right to criticise his con
duct and administration, and to de
mand his removal in case of mis
management on his part. This right
they have exercised, and have at
tained their object after so long a
time. Now let him go, and, if he is
willing, let him alone. He seems to
have shown a commendable spirit in
handing in his resignation express
ing a willingness to remain in charge
until the election of his successor in
order that he might have the affairs
of the asylum in good shape.
THE WORK OF THE ALLIANCE. j
The grand object of the Alliance
is to protect the interests of the far
mers, and inasmuch as thorough
organization is an essential factor in
accomplishing ends that tend to
benefit large classes of people, the
farmers are determined to perfect
their organization until its power
shall be felt by all, whether they be
individuals or corporations, whose
purpose it is to grow rich and pow
erful at the sacrifice of the rights
and privileges of the hitherto un
organized agricultural classes. Every
right-thinking man must bid them
God-speed in their efforts. So do
we, mo3t earnestly.
The great question which has been
forced upon them now, almost before
the organization has doffed its swad
dling clothes, is the important one
in regard to the kind of bagging
that is to be used in coveriug the
cotton crop. They have been called
upon to measure swords with one of
the most powerful trusts that have
"been organized a trust that got
control of the jute bagging industry
and deliberately prepared to rob the
farmers of millions of dollars, sim
ply because, as they thought, they
were able to do so. In this they
were mistaken, as the determined
front of the Alliance has already
produced consternation in the ranks
of the jute bagging trust
Late developments show that the
Alliance will not only have to con
tend against the jute trust but also
against the Liverpool Cotton Ex
change, which condemns the use of
cotton material for bagging. This
is a business question, an issue be
tween two great corporations, and
should be carefully considered in all
its bearings. If it will admit of an
amicable settlement, so much the
better; if not, and the Alliance is
certain of the justice of its demands,
and that what it requires is the most
advantageous to our farmers, then
let all its power be concentrated to
carry its point, and we earnestly wish
them success. It is not our purpose
to enter upon a discussion as to the
tnerit3 of either side of the question
of "cotton vs. jute bagging, as not
I)e5ng connected with the Alliance
"we have not had access to the results
of the thorough investigation which
they have doubtless given the ques
tion. We leave that question to the
Alliance, feeling assured that, their
deliberations being characterized by
wisdom, the result will be for the
test and to the advantage of our
people.
Barnum's show has met with an
other great loss, inis time it is a
wreck on the railroad. Friday last,
near Potsdam, New York, the second
of the three trains which were mov
ing the show, wrecked from a broken
tle. This train contained most of
the horses and animals for exhibit
eome of which were killed. Twenty
fmir rinr horses, one ef which was

Another Washington girl has mar
ried a full-blooded Indian. The
girl went to Versailles, N. Y., the
other day, and the next thing her
parents heard was that she had been
married to Nathaniel Patterson, a

that place. There is no accounting
for taste. Winston Sentinel.
It is pleasant to American pride
to see Thomas A. Edison, greatest of
living American inventors, receiving
so much appreciation abroad. In
Paris he received no little considera
tion, and King Humbert, of Italy,
has honored himself in honoring
Edison with the insignia of the
Grand Officer of the Crown of Italy.
Edison's genius is of a high order,
and he is destined to be long remem
bered by coming generations. Wil
mington Messenger.
One William Coble left Anson
county in 1861, saying he never
would write or come back any more.
Some days ago he drove up to his
father's gate, helped out of his
wagon his wife, mother-in-law, wife's
two sisters, an aunt, an old maid,
and twenty-one children, and march
ed into the house as if he had al
ways lived there. He found the old
man a little nervous, but he was
ahead of the son, for he had thirty
four children up to date. Troy
Vidette.
The Asheville Evening Journal
and the daily Citizen of that city
slipped up badly on giving a highly
complimentary account of Judge
Clark's charge to the Grand Jury of
Buncombe. The Judge made no
charge to the Jury not a word !
But the editors took it for granted
tha he had, and complimented him
in high terms for the learning and
appropriateness of his supposed per
formance. Blessed is the enterpris
ing newspaper whose ways are past

A tramp spectacle peddler secured 1
lodging at the house of Mr. Noah
Stewart, of Shiloh township, Wednes
day night of last week, and Mr.
Stewart having shown him his bed
eft the house for a short time.
While he was gone the tramp cursed
his daughter and put an indignity
upon his wife. The calls from the
house brought Mr. Stewart - home
and he drove the tramp away. Peo
pie who entertain tramps may some
times entertain angels unawares but
the chances are mighty small.

A tract of land containing 11,-
000,000 acres at Standing Rock,
South Dakota, has been purchased
by the Government from the Sioux
ndians. Fourteen million dollars
was the price paid, and this splendid
region, iertue and well watered, is
soon to be opened to settlers under
the public land laws of the United
States. The area of the Sioux reser
vation thus made available is nearly
that of the State of West Virginia,
or about two and a half times that
of New Jersey. Another rush can
be looked for. Fulton Republican.
Illiteracy no doubt abounds in the
South, but it has also a home in the
genial, rich, boastful North. There
is much intelligence in the rich sec
tion, but there is a great deal of
downright ignorance of the plainest
economic laws a3 well as of their
Southern neighbors. The Northern
farmers are not fairly comparable in
real intelligence to the Southern
farmers, when you take their man
ner of voting as the proof. Thev
w J
will vote and vote for the men who
smite and rob and grind and oppress
them. They will vote for a high tax
on wool while that interest i3 depre
ciating and suffering more and more
from their folly. The Northern la
boring people have been voting for
a war tariff as their best and surest
friend, when it was making monop
oly more of a monarch from year to
year, and making themselves more
and more its serfs,

lhe Chronicle wa3 startled a few
days ago to read in the Washington
papers that our friend, Mr. Sterling
Ituffin, of Wilson, N. C, who has a
clerkship in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, had been arres
ted on the charge of murder. On
the 6th of July he had a quarrel
(cause unknown) with Col. West,
proprietor of Langham Hotel, who
commanded a Wisconsin regiment
during the war. Mr. Euffin struck
Col. West with his umbrella, break
ing his nose. He then knocked West
down and pummeled him. Col.
West went to Asbury where he died
Aug. 15th. Without knowing how
he died the officers arrested Mr. Euf
fin on a charge of murder and re
quired him to give a $2,000 bond to
await the developments of the Coro
ner's Jury. It now appears that the
doctors who attended Col. W. certify
that he died from Bright's disease

WASHINGTON IiETTEK.
VARIOUS ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
From Our Ilegular Correspondent.
Washington, August 27.
The Navy Department has receiv
ed a cablegram from Rear Admiral
Gherardi, commanding the North
Atlantic squadron, asking that the
New American minister to Hayti
be sent immediately as Legitime had
abdicated and Hippolyte is now on
top in that changeable little island.
The French and English captains
have placed themselves under Ad
miral Gherardi's orders in case of
any trouble at Port-au-Prince. Fred
Douglass is the new minister. It
is expected that he will start this
week. It is said that the Haytiens
object to Douglass a3 Minister; they
want a white man.
Permission has been granted by
the Agricultural Department to
some of the Knights Templar who
will attend the conclave in this city
uext October to pitch their tents in
the Department grounds.
The Postmaster-General is all
alone in his glory this morning, and
he only arrived in town to-day, and
it is doubtful whether he will re
main. No other member of the
cabinet is expected before next week.
A special train left this city Sat
urday night -with a large crowd
bound for Milwaukee to attend the
G. A. II. Encampment The busi
ness men of Washington have in
vited the organization to hold their
next annual encampment here.
Arrangements have been com
pleted for a grand excursion, extend
ing from October 3rd to November
14th, and taking in every place of
interest from Omaha to Massachu
setts, to be given by the State De
partment to the delegates to the
Three America's Congress, which
meets here October 2nd. Some in
favorable comment has been made
here because the South is not to be
visited by the excursionists. It
hardly seems fair to leave that sec
tion out us long as it is on a trip
which lias to be paid for by the
Government.
"Mahone's nomination by the
Republicans," s.iid a Virginia Dem
ocrat of prominence, " has made the
fight m Virgiuia a serious thing for
us. Mahone, as an organizer, has
few equals and no superiors, and we
have got a hard fight on hand to '
hold the .State." The same views
are expressed by many Demo
crats here. They believe they can
win, but only by the hardest kind
of work.
To think of the International
Exposition of 1S02 being held in
any other city than Washington is
out of the question. The Govern
ment owns ample grounds here right
down in the heart of the city to
erect all the necessary buildings
upon. Four-fifths of the Congress
men heard from on the subject favor
Washington, and there is not the
slightest doubt that the exposition
will be held here, as it should be.
Civil Service Commissioner Lyman
says that the report sent out from
here stating that the commissioners
had talked with President Harrison
about the proposed extension of the
rulers to cover the chiefs of divis
ions in the departments is an error.
The subject has not been called to
the President's attention, but will
be when he returns to t his city, as
the commissioners are unanimously
in favor of its adoption. An open
rupture, between the commission and
one of the cabinet is said to be one
of the probabilities of the near
future.
Tho Navy Department has had to
issuo new proposals for building the
five new cruisers provided for at
the last session of Congress, because
tho bids received for those first
issued were all in access of the
amount appropriated. It i3 feared
that vessels of the class desired can
not be built for the amounts stipu
lated by Congress, and that the
matter will have to be referred back
to that body for further action. We
seem to have all sorts of drawbacks
in the buildiDg of our new navy.
Representative Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, was in this city last week.
He dies not think the Republicans
will have any trouble to organize
the House, nor does he-think there
will be any serious contentions over
the contested election cases unless
the Republicans attempted to seat
men not legally entitled to the seats.
Personally Mr. Breckenridge is op
posed to an extra session of Con
gress, but from a political standpoint
he hopes one will be called. He
said "to have discordant elements
together is an element of weakness."
Frank Hatton has " let up" on
the Civil Service Commission
Perhaps he is waiting for Mr.
Roosevelt to return, and perhaps
he had been " fixed."
A new Democratic weekly paper
is to be issued here in a few days. It
is understood that the principal
stockholders are New Yorkers.
If Republicans here know any
thing of the President's intentions
in the matter, the idea of calling an
extra session of Congress has been
abandoned.
A Claim on Mexico. New York,
August 27. Th3 World publishes a
iec-.'it letter from General Lew Wal
hco to President Diaz, of Mexico,
suggesting that Gen. Hermann
Stnrm, of, Indiana, be recompensed
by Mexico for certain expenses in
curred about 1864. The expenses
were in connection with a loan raised
by Mexico in this country by the aid
of the secret influence of Gen.
Grant, President Lincoln, General
Wallace and others, General Sturm
being the confidential agent between
the parties. General Wallace says
that when General Grant saw that
the Confederacy was doomed he
feared large numbers of Confederate
soldiers would, after the war closed,
go to Mexico aud join Maximilian's
army. He persuaded Lincoln to se
cretly aid the J uarez government to
expel Maximilian. Wallace was sent
to Mexico to open the negotiation,
aud was instructed not to let Secre
tary Seward know of his action, as
the latter was opposed to such action.
The result of the movement was the
strengthening of the Mexican army,
and the overthrow of Maximilian.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says that by adopting cotton instead
of jute bagging the Southern plan
ters will save annually $3,000,000.
