Comparing the appropriations
of the fifty-third congress with
those of the fifty-first, Represen
tative Bayers, of the committee on
appropriations, finds a reduction
of 145,341,418; and in comparing
the'sume appropriations with those
of the fifty-second congress, he
finds a reduction of $36,065,856.
The appropriations made by the
congress just adjourned were $990,
338.C91, as against $1,035,080,109
by the Firty-first, and $1,027,104,

Maj. IlARvev Bingham, a distin
guished member of the StatesviJle
bar, a man unsversally loved and
admired for his many noble traits
of character and in many respects
a very remarkablo man died at his
home in Statea'ille last Tuesday.
He was remarkable for having
risen from poverty and obscurity
against obstacles, before whicn any
other than a hero would have
trembled and finally yeildedin de
spair, to an eminence at the bar
which it is not every lawyer's priv
ilegto occupy and to a distinction
as a scholar of which many a more
polished college-bred gentleman
might bo proud. Maj. Bingham
was perhaps moro learned in the
common law than any other per
son in the State. Though dead,
yet the grand old man still lives
and will continue to live in the
power and influence of the many
.young lawyers who received their
instruction and noblest inepira
tions from him.
A motion has been made in the
Knglish house of commons that
members receivo pay for their ser
vices. The motion while finding
some support yet has met with
strong opj osition from several able
members. Mr.Goschen opposed the
motion and said that the payment
of members would lower tho status
of parliament and taint the purity
. t l i' r . .
m puouc uie without increasing
the number of working men in the
Commons. England is a country
so rich and powerful that, it is said
tho sun nover' sets on her domains
The United States is also a rich
country, but her national debt
ro large that it seems she will never
be able to pay i off, and she
going in debt at the rate of fifty
million dollars a year, vet the
United States has the costliest leg
lslutive body on earth. If we were
ta follow the example of England
the political schemer and swindler
the man who labors, not for love of
country, but for love of money,
would gradually disnppear,and our
nooie uepuoiic would once more
becomo the home of statesmen
like Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun
Clay and Webster.

wo seldom pause long enough

to few persons to consider how
many useful arts and industries o

fifteen years ago. The self-binding
harvester is now doing the work
that would require thousands

the amount of $25,000,000. Who

The Southern Stock Mutual In
surance Company of North Caro
lina was chartered bv act of the
lately adjourned Legislature, with
a number of tho strongest men in
the State named as incorporators,
and l-egan business with its cen
tral oflice at Greensboro and agen
cies all over the State. A number
of its agents were the agents also
of companies embraced in the
Southeastern Tariff Association,
and as the Southern Stock Mutual
did not propose to cut rates but to
conduct it6elf upon a plan of ami
ty with all other companies, it pro
posed to the Southeastern Tariff
Association to pro rate certain
local expenses with it and the pro
position was accepted. A little
ater, however, it received notice
from the Tariff Association that
t had reconsidered its purpose, the
letter from the secretary eoi ir on
to 6ay that in view of tho rebate
clause in the scheme ef the South
ern Stock Mutual it had been re
solved not to co-operate with it.
This was followed by notices to its
agents throughout the State that
they must not act as agents of the
Southern Stock Mutual.
All this has but one meaning,
and that is that a North s Carolina
Company must not compete with
the Southeastern Tan If Associa
tion for North Carolina business
under penality of its boycott. Its
agents are to be coerced, if possi
ble, and it only remains to be seen
how many of them, who are agents
for both, will submit to the coer-
coin. 1 be method adopted of hoki-
ng the North Carolina business
for itself and driving the home
competitors out of the competition,
a thoroughly characteristic trust
proceeding, and it will bo a sur
prise to those who think they
know them well if the people of
North Carolina do not take this
matter up and resent this arrog
auce as it deserves. Charlotte Ob

A Sweeping; Law.
lousiness ana legal circles arc
much exercised over the followirg
law which was papsed by the late
V Lsion Legislature and was rati
fied an went into effect March 13
An act to regulate assignments
and other conveyances of like in
orth Carolina. The General As
sembly of North Carolina do enact:
Section 1. That all conditional
saies, assignments, mortgages or
- i
deeds in trust, which are executed
to secure any debt, obligation note
or bond which gives preferences to
any creditor of the mak6r, shall
bo absolutely void as to existing
creditors.
Sec. 2. That all laws in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed
Upon its face this law declares
every mortgage or other like in
strument in valid as to all deb's
the maker may owe at the time he
executes the instrument. This sub
stantially puts an end to the busi
ness oi Dorrowing money upon
mortgages. The plain reading of
the law prohibits mortgages and
trust deeds of any character unless
every debt due by the maker at the
lima oi me execution oi the in
strument is included in its pro
visions.

Weighed and Found Wanting.
North Carolina has had enough
of Populist rule. They have been
weighed and found miserably light.
During the campaign they were
great "refawmers" and promised
that milk and honey should flow

honor Lee or Washington retire

A Pennsylvania Judge recently
sentenced a chicken thief to ten
years in the penitentiery for steal
ing ten dollars worth of chickens,
and two bank men looted a bank
out of $112,000 in one year and
went free. When the chicken
thief saw that, he wept because he
had not robbed a bank.

A few weeks since a little item
went the rounds of the press about
a man hugging his . wife- so hard
that he broke three of her ribs. A
Georgia exchange commenting on
the above, says that this occur

of thousands ef husbands who
break their wives hearts by uot
hugging them at all. "Neither is
it so bad a6 breaking up whole
families by hugging the wrong par

Strange Death of a Ycnnff Man
Mr. George K. Phifer. son of
our townsman, Capt. Geo. L.
Phifer, died at Charlotte last Sat
urday night of appendicitis, and
his remains were brought here
Sunday for burial. It was a par
ticularly sad death, as the young
man had a bright future before
him. He was only twenty years
of age. He was in the Railway
Mail service between Washington
and Charlotte. A peculiar circum
stance connected with young
Phifer's death, is that about two
years ago, a first cousin of Phifer's,
Alfred Avery, died of appeudic tis
at Durham, and Geo. Phifer often
spoke of it, and expressed the fear
that he iright at some time have
the same dread troubU. When he
was first taken sick, at Charlotte,
and before the doctors had diag
nosed his case, he said that he had
appendicitis.
"Perhaps you would not think so, but n
