'd hie comprrlieiisive srtido is outfjioken and j lain. Ha takes otfcasion to commend Pieaidunt t'levfiand'a movement toward tgtablieliinff a more permanent connular serviee. The tx-rrCHideut sajs: "The need of a better consular service lias been getting a strong hold njwn tlio public mind. The practice hits been to make fiequent changes in thdse offices indeed an utmost ooinplute change upon the coming in of administiation of a different paity. The duties ot 8 consul re late almost wholly to our commerce with the country where lie serves. The recent movement by Mr. Cleveland and in Congress for a Letter qualified and perma nent consul 11 force is to be com mended. "It is remarked that changes in the home administration in oilier countries, such as England and France, do not involve changes in the ministers or amdassadore or consuls, as they do with us. The English ambassador at Washington holds riht on whether the Liberals or the lories are in power, lie repret-ents his country, not a party, and cariies out the instructions from the homo (toveruiiient loyally, lie is never heard to make speeches at tacking the policy of 'ho opposing party -or criticising his owu peo ple. Perhaps one of the chief difficulties in our getting a per manent diplomatic and consular service grows out of the fact that the tanff question is one that is always acute in our politics, and the reports of our consuls naturally take on the views held by them upon this ques.ion. We cannot have a permanent diplomatic and consular service until we can find diplomats and consuls who will leave their party politics st home. If they Hie to be aired or exercited abroad then it follows that they must be in harmony with the party in power at home. He Needs Watching. The New York pajiers are dis cussing the wonderful business pre cocity of a small boy in a down town broker's office. The boy 6Hiled in the other day and made $0,000 by expending 2 cents. He did it in this way: When Secretary Carlisle's bond issue notice was published the youngster read it closely and saw that his bid would stand as good a chance of being considered as any of the others. So he took a sheet of letter paper hearing the firm iiHine of his employers in the com er and put in a bid for $150,000 at a figure which caused it to bo awarded to him. Then ho 6old his right to receive the bonds to a Wall street broker for $6,000. The incident shows what the up-to-date small boy en do when he humps himself. Jiiit it would be a good idea to keep an eye on this youth. Wtien a boy develops 6tich phenomenal sharpness and makes money so easily the chances are 1 tint tie will be tempted into snecu Intiorn of a doubtful chaiacter. Ive6, the young Napoleon of fi "aiice, was just such a boy, and be J .re he was twenty-one lie was en gaged in the work of wrecking rail roads. A little later he went to prison and came out still young with a blighted career before him. It is a bad thing lor a boy to barn the art ot money making loo early in lite. Atlanta Constitution.

Six months hence ho will receive $00,000, as the sum just received is HJ per cent, and tho annual rate now paid is CJ per cent. It is learned that the two Walker brothers, who were burned to death Saturday night, near Henry, Va., were tanners. One leaves a wife and three children. The other was unmarried. Before going into the barn, in which they loot their lives, they flagged freight train on the lloanoke and Southern and came near being run over. There is great indignation in Daviecounty over cruelty to a white girl named Graves, who was about to become a mother. She was driven from home and neighbors refused her shelter. Her child was born in an abandoned tobacco barn. She dragged herself to a house near by and fell fainting at its door. The next day she died of exposure and lack ot care. Jude McMillian, negro woman and little cbiiti, were drowned in New Uiver, not far from Potato Creek, ono day last week. C. J.

Some days ago Henry Phunt was on the cars on his way to fill an engagement, when his attention was attracted by two smart Alecks who were ridiculing everything they saw in North Carolina. Seeing a tobacco barn, they asked if that was 8 North Carolina residence, whereupon Henry Plotint, who is quick at repartee as he is good at compliment, retorted that it was a dry house. They w&otcd to know what was a dry house. 11a replied, 8 house where we put green-hums to dry them out to keep the cows from eating them. It is needless to say they made no more remarks about North Carolina. Rocky Mount I'lio'tiix. Mr. E. Wallace informs the edi tor of the North Wilkesboro News that his wife had a hen to hatch a brood ot chickens about two weeks ago, and to protect then: from the bad weather, Mrs. Wallace put them in th cellar. The mother hen got hold ot some poison that had been olaced there f.r rats and died. Mrs. W. was at a loss to know what to do for the motherlett biddies, but remembering an old hen, that in the bit my days ot auuviicr lud 8 ten dency to steal little chickot s from their mother, she concluded to try an experiment So on Saturday night she went to the hen-roost, captured the old hen, carried tier to ihu cellar and covered her and the little darkens up. Sunday morn ing the adopted mother acted rather awkward and hardly knew what to do, I ut cccaeioiially clucked to tho little ones. I! Monday, however, she n'A down to "bias tacks," and was hovering, feding and c! ticking to thfe little chicks with as much earnestness and solicitude a though tbej were her own. 'HAL" DIXON MONUMENT. It is.of Mount Airy Granite, Tail and torn manding. Sam Browne, our artistic mason will troout to tho Battle Ground to morrow to lav the foundation for tho monument to Col. "1111" Dix on, the hero ot Camden, who "stood at bay like a lion, when hie Ameri' can ranks were melting away under shot and shell, never deigning to retreat until lie had exhausted every cartridge and then facing his heroic little band of North Carolinians around him sounded the charge and made his way cut at the point of the bavonet." The monument is of Mt. Airy granite, dressed, on which is fixed fine bronze plate reciting thebattles in which the cuivalnc colonel oore conspicuous part and closing with this tribute to Ins character : "Tho embodiment of chivalry The idol of his soldiers, The trusted of the peoplo." Tho funds to erect this monu ment were furnished by his des cendents in Kentucky and Cali fornia, throniih Col. Henry C Dickson, his great grandson. It is expected that the tine additioti to the Battle Ground will be dedicated at our next annual celebration. The whole ;n'.T'iment is quite massive in appearance, being about six feet in height, and is located very near the C. F. k V. V. Kail road, just south ot tho keepers lodge. Every year yet has brought some striking improvement to the Battle li round. It s very desirable to have a big time on next 4th of July celebration. -The Greensboro Itecord. The Facts in the Case. There are some statistics pub lished by Bradstreet's that are in structive and corrective. Its facts and conclusions are based on 1,300, 000 individvals, firms and corpora tions all over this country, it is not true as often printed and that, as we well remember, originated with Hunt's Merchant's Magazine in the forties, that 95 ot all busi ness firms fail out of evury 100. Before 1S93, tho records show that those failing to pay what they owe and those which merely failed to succeed amounted to about 11 per cent, annually of the total num ber of concerns recorded as having an established place in business, while the total number of those failing owing more than they could pay was only a fraction more than 1 per cent, annually. 1 lie total number of concerns failing in busi ness annually nuable to pay their total indebtedness is, we may say, 1.15 per cent, or 1.20 percent. In 1895, there were 1,154 failures through frauds practiced, 1,022 in 1S94, 1,142 in 1693, and 1.0C5 in 1892. The proportion of failures due to lack of capital was 33.2 per cent, in 1895, against 34. G per cent. the year before and 3.i.5 tier cent, in the year 1693. Wants Damage. At a meeting of the Salem Com missioners Friday evening, Mi. J. S. Grogan, counsel, appeared be fore tlie coinmiifioners and stated that suit would I brought for damages, by Hugh Beason, whose horse became frightened at the street cars, near Timothy Vogler's residence and btcked off the side walk some time ago. Mr. Grogan intimated that the .own ought to have railings alog the street at this point as 8 safe-guard against future accidents. The Republican would also add that a precaution equally as effective would be the opening ot tho Southern extremity ot Liberty Street which hangs fire amazingly long. This done and ;agon travel would only be too glad to make the exchange for Main Street and the electric cars. As an election will be held in Sa lem in May it is hardly probable that the present Board will take any farther steps toward comple ting tho opening of this much needed thoroughfare. An order to this effect, however, would be op portune aud prove an incentive to a new Board and even the present body, if re-elected. Vii.6ton lie publican. - They All Praise It. Tiev. C. S.

EMPEROR WILLIAM BACKING A GERMAN SCIENTIST'S GREAT INVENTION. Leading scientists in Bi-rlin, Ger many, predict that before tho close of the century half of the world's passenger traffic will bo conducted in the air. Trusting in the judgment of some of the most eminent meteorologists of Germany, a number of capital ists of Berlin and other largo citiea are forming a big syndicate for the construction of airhlnpa, patterned after tho invention of Count von Aeppelin, a well known and pop ular Wiii tembcrg officer. The inventor has now, after yeara of assiduous labor, perfected liij contrivance and it is approved by all who have seen it. It is pro nounced the greatest achievement of tlig age. The people of Stuttgart, where the inventor resides, though praise ing tho Count for his brave services during the Franco Prussian wnr, have always ridiculed rum lor spending bis time and money on what they thought was a pseudo- scientific chimera. History credits Count von ep pelin with having contributed much towards the success of tho German army in 1671. with a lew com rades he undertook a rcconnoiter ing tourof the Alsatian strongholds. He was the only one ot tlie par ty who escaped ; tho oti.crs wero either killed or taken prisoners, He managed to place important information in the bauds of General von Moltke. Count von Zeppelin has spent all his life and energies in seeking to solve the problem of controling teri al navigation. His enormous es tate has been spent in the coiibtruc tion and trials of airships. During all these years be took but few into bis confluence. Among theso were the great Stuttgart sci entist, Professor Foerstcr, and tho late specialist, Dr. von Huluiholtz. Theso friends prophesied great things for the inventor. They an ticipated that some day Von Zep pelin would announce to the world that he had overcome all obstacles. Now, after decades of hard study and financial sacrifice, ho invitts the scientific world to examine the results. But it is also known that le is at the end of his resources, and that he has not money enough left to build another ship which sci entists say will cost t least 60,000 marks. Tho Zeppelin airship is a cigar- shaped vessel, and can be steered upward and dewnvard, right and j left, forward and backward, in tact all tho difficulties of a-rial travel are mastered. The buoyancy of the ship is ea sily obtained, rising 20,000 feet without ditlicultv. and it can be dropped lightly by a few simple manipulations. So far the load to be carried must not exceed 5,000 pounds for each vessel, but it ii believed that im provements in this matter will be made at an early date. A Daimler kerosene motor, con structed entirely of aluminum, fur nishes power for wings and screws. It is said that the means of propul sion are perfect in every detail. Several inventions socially adap ted to pievent the waste of gas are adjusted in tho vessel, allowing it to temain above ground for a week or more at a time The kaiser has shown a deep in terest 111 the invention 01 Count von Zeppelin. He intimated that it should be utilized at once for coast defense. Despite official deuials, it is also learned that France is on the eve of Serftcting a similar invention, lone appreciate latter than the German military the value of such vessels in case of war. Marine vessels would be helpless with a craft above them able to drop explosives on their decks, and towns and forts would also be at their mercy.

There lw-4 in tha town cf Kcr nersville, gays the Winston Seotine', one Kerner, (better known as "Reu bin Rink") of whom it is said no man lives ctonth ot Maine with whom more enthusiasm can be aroiued than to mention in his pros ence the name of Abraham Lincoln Some years ago Mr. Kerner in stituted a custom for hie own house hold and th so in his employ, of making the loth ot April a memo rial day to Mr. Lincoln by draping the windows aud balconys- of his resilience (better known as "Ker ner's Folly") with largo black fes toons, and below one of the large draperies in front was formed panncl and containing the following inscription : "ivoranain Lincoln, died April 15th, 18G5." He has now added a link to the memory of the deceased President by setting up the 12th of February (Sir. Lincoln s birthday) as a na tional holiday to himself and those in his employ, and to-morrow (Wednesday) morning the 12th, 'The roily" will be decorated in different manner, from thetopdeck roof, 50 feet high, will float a largo Hug of "Stars and Stripes," and at night all the windows and balconys will be lighted to burn all night, Tho SHino bulletin used on the 15th of April will hang out in front, bnt the opposite side will 13 used, which wi'l have the following inscription: "Abraham Lincoln, bom rebruary 12th, 1809." It is said that Mr. Kerner has re- ijutsted his wife to observe these two dtys in the year and carry out tf.e decorations as described, at his residence as Jong as he has any pos terity to bear Ins name. But the strangest feature of the mn is though he is 45 years old and fbe most uncompromising "Lincoln- Abolition -Republican," yet ho has never registered, nor voted for any man.

According to the statement ot the president of the National Prison Congress of the United States, crime is increasing out f all pro iwrtion to the population. The record by decades shows: 1850, 6,737 prisoners, or a ratio of 1 to 3,442 of tho population ; 1SG0, 19, 08G, ratio 1 to 1,647; 1870, 32,901, ratio 1 to 1,171 ; 1880, 5S,6o9, ratio 1 to 655 ; 1890, 92,329, ratio 1 to 757. Whatever the cause of this alarming increase, it is evident that penal laws are not sufficient to ar rest it. The fact lays new em phasis upon the necessity for more efficient Christian work. Christian ity is the only preventive of crime. Biblical Recorder.

The train, consisting of a parlor car, day coach, baggage car and locomotive, was proceeding up the leavy grade toward Georgetown, when the high wind, roaring down the canyon lifted the cars from the track. The parlor car turned com pletely over and landed in the creek; the others were turned on their side, including the tender of the ocotnotive.
