Statistical information of a most valuable character is being daily. re ceived by tbe Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The forthcoming report will be the fullest yet issued.

It is to be hoped, that we wiU not have a warm spell of sufficient dura tion to cause the fruit trees to bud this month. When such is the case, the frosts of April almost invariably kill the buds, and shorten the crops. A good fruit year is always desirable. A Good Showing. In a recent interview in Washing ton City, Maj. James W. Wilson, chairman of the North Carolina Rail road Commission, is reported to have said that while the commission had only been established about ten months, they have increased the as sets in tax valuation of railroad prop erty in the State about $3,CK 0,000,and by regulating the telegraph tariffs and reducing passenger fares and frei ght charges have saved to the peo pie between four and five hun dred thousand dollars.

The Road Question. Although this Is a year which will seemingly be devoted to p litioal mat ters, yet there are many domestic af fairs which will claim the attention of the people. Among these is the question of proper roads, it being of the utmost importance to all classes. Many of tbe States are now discuss ing the subject in all its bearings. Cominh-sioncr Jno.
