" f "Wax elsewhere a statement
from the Uastonia Gazette, giving a
list of, prices irhieh obtained one
hundred years ago, and which is a
fair sample of prices then prevailing
tb.rtragb.ont this State. It will be
noted that sugar sold for 25 cents
per pound, muslin 75 cents per yard,
powder $1.00 per pound, salt $ 1.50
per bushel, nails 20 cents per pound,
while good whiskey wias only 75
cents per gallon. People were hap
py in those days. We can now un
derstand why times are hard. Whis
key has gone up from $2.00 to $5.00
per gallon. True, we now get about
16 pounds of sugar for $1 00, salt
50 cents per bushel, muslin from 5
to 10 cents per yard, nails from 3 to
5 cents per pound, but the whiskey
ring is about to ruin the people.
Labor m that day was 50 tents a
day, corn 50 cents a bushel, beef, re
tail, 3 cents a pound. And yet they
were contented. Now we have to
pay $4 00 for good whiskey, and
Heaven only knows how much for

Our friend of the Asheville
Gazette has become alarmed over the
hypnotic fever which has been intro
duced into the Mountain Metropolis
by the Lees. That it has assumed,
or threatens to assume, a serious as
pect, the following caution from the
Gazette indicates :
"It would be quite as sensible for un
instructed persons to begin a se
ries of experiments with poisonous
drugs as to trifle with hypnotism for
amusement, and we trust that the out
break of hypnotism in Asheville will
stop with the public exhibitions, and
that the various serious consequences
which have made such exhibitions pro
hibited in other places wiil not be re
peated here."
We would venture to suggest to
the Gazette not to stop the experi
ments until it has been tried on
Chairman Brown, of the Board of
County Commissioners and it is
found out how much he and his Re
publican Board havl? agreed to pay
the Chairman's son and other lawyers
for dishonoring the good people of

The Measure now Before the New Yort
Legislature.
Albany Despatch to N-. T. Commercial Adrertiser
One of the many bills introduced in
the Senate this week of general interest
was presented by Senator Pavey. It
provides that New York city shall ap
propriate $100,000 for the establishment
of an institution to be known as the
"Farm Colony for Vagrants."
A board of five managers to be ap
pointed by the Mayor is provided for,
and this board is entrusted with tbe .es
tablishment and management of the
farm colony. The members of tbe board
shall hold office for the terms of one,
two, three, foor and five years. They
have the right to establish the colony in
any county of the'State and have the
power to appoint a superintendent, who
will hold office during their pleasure.
His powers shall be regulated by the
Board of Managers,
To Utilize Labor of Tramps. Ftc.
The farm colony shall consist of build
ings and grounds, which will be equip
ped with mechanical and other assist
ance as shall make effective the labor of
the inmates. These inmates are limited
to that class of male persons who are
convicted in the courts of New York
city for vagrancy or habitual drunken
ness, but who are not i'nsane nor men
tally nor physically incapable of being
benefited by instruction in agriculture,
horticulture and handicrafts. Commit
ting magistrates in New York city shall
have the power to sentence such a class
of criminals who are between the-ages
of 16 and 30 years. The sentence shall
be an indeterminate one, but the Board
of Managers shall not have the power to
retain a person sent to the farm for a
longer time than three years.
The managers shall have the power of
parole, when there is a reasonable prob
ability that persons to be paroled will re
main at liberty without violating the law;
but paroled inmates shall remain on pa
role in the legal custody and under the
control of the Board of Managers until
the maximum term of three years, as pro
vided for, has expired. If, in the opinion
of the Board of Managers, an inmate on
parole violates the parole or is about
to laose into vagrancv or drunkenness.

"There is vo paper published in America

From "Newspaperdom " (New York). I

with the Journals of many cities and coun
tries, that -The CHICAGO RECORD comes
as near being the ideal daily Journal as we
are for some time likely, to find on these
