Happenings of Interest Gathered
From Oar Exchanges.
The Senate of Arkansas passes
the Woman's Suffrage bill. The
fire insurance companies cancel all
their, risks at Antlers, I. T., in con
sequence of the threats to burn the
town. The number of men seek
ing office from the President has
by no means diminished and the
President's list of daily callers is
still as large as ever. Virginia leads
all the States in this respect. Mr
Cleveland appointed Mr. Hannis
Taylor, of Alabama to be Minister
to Spain. The Senate elected the
Senate officers chosen some time
ago in the Democratic caucus.
Their terms of office are to begin
with the first day of the next ses

isfaction to all parties, especially of

Peru invade one of our Consulates,

Tn
the Federal Senate Mr. Voorhees in
troduced a resolution, which was
referred to the Interstate Commence
Committee, reciting the decision of
the Ohio courts in the engineers'
strike cases and directing the com
mittee to report what legislation is
necessary to amend the interstate
commence law so as to protect the
rights of organized labor. The
resolution offered by Mr. Hoar last
Monday declaring it inexpedient to
propose a constitutional amendment
for the popular election of United
States senators was taken up in the
h ederal Senate, and Mr. Hoar con
cluded his speech, in support of it.
It was a scholarly, historical, and
statesmanlike argument, and as such
was listened to with profound atten
tion. The three negro highway
men who robbed Arron Wade near
Durham not long ago, have all been
captured. Secretary Grresham,
under instructions of the President,
has sent instructions to our Minis
ter at Constantinople to take strin
gent measures for bringing about
a satisfactory settlement of the out
rages committed by a Turkish mob
on American citizens. A State
bank at Sibley, Pa., closes its doors.
In the indictment against ex-
Sheriff Rogers, of Wake county for
embezzlement, the jury renders a
verdict of not guilty. The State
of Nebraska votes unanimously to
impeach the ex-Attorney General of
that State. Reports from the
Northwest show that much damage
has been done by prairie fires and
wind storms. The county insane
asylum at Delaware, Ohio, was burn
ed. No lives were lost. Rev. T.
C. Tupper, rector of St. Philip's
church, Atlanta, has resigned. He
performed the marriage ceremony
during Lent, contrary to the express
orders of Bishop Nelson. This
caused the resignation. At Coal
Grove, Ohjo, Friday fire destroyed
50,000,000 feet of valuable lumber,
besides other property to the value
of $750.000. The Law and Order
society of Pittsburg is indicting ed
itors of Sunday newspapers by the
wholesale. There is substainial
opposition to the confirmation of
Mr. Ecles as Conptroller of the
Currency on the ground that he is
entirely unfamiliar with the duties
of the office. The House Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
asks for a sub-committee to sit dur
ing recess to investigate the contest
of the seat from Kansas. The
President thinks North Carolina
has an overplus of candidates for
foreign missions. Civil war is
assuming dangerous proportions
In Nebraska prairie fires destroyed
everything over a track twenty-five
miles long by four miles wide.
The newspaper men of Pittburg,
Pa., who have been indicted under
the "blue laws," are going to see to
it that those laws are enforced to
the fullest extent against street
cars, steamboats, and everything
else that works on Sunday. The
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has is
sued an order restricting the impor
tation of fire arms and ammunition.
J. E. Prince, of Norfolk, Va.,

passes the bill abolishing the death
penalty. Sixteen new cases of
cholera are reported from Galicia.
R n. William
Coller, while asleep on the railroad
track, had both legs cut on: oy
train, causing his death.
a
FARMERS TROUBLES A A I AEEDS.
In looking over the reports of
some Farmers' Institutes recently
we were struck with the many ob
stacles which agriculturists are call
ed to encounter: 1. An uncongenial
or improverishod soil. 2. Bad seed.
3. Unprepitious season for planting
4. Imperfect cultivation. 5. Drought
or freshet. G. Cutworms and a my
riad like enemies. 7. Late and early
frosts. 8, Sudden storms and winds.
9. Unfavorable time of harvest. 10.
But not least, if all other obstacles
are surmounted, a low and depress
ed market, says the Durham Sun.
It will be observed that the most
of these obstacles are such as ordi
nary prudence cannot prevent, and
only persistent labor and much ex
pense can overcome; over some they
have no control. Is it to be wonder
ed at, that farmers camplain of a
hard lot, or that boys run away
from the farm?
And yet, it is upon this class that
the prosperity and even the susten
ance of the community largely de
pend; if crops are good, business is
good, or the reverse. Again, it is
upon this class that the burdens of
the community fall with greatest
weight, for the land has taxable
value and is always in sight.
Should it not be the aim of legis
lation to make the farmers' burdens
light as possible? to aid him in ex
changing his products, at fair re
munerative prices, in good, honest
money, to
encourage
our young
men to stay upon the farm, and thus
to aid in creating a sound and
thorough basis for permanent, gen
eral and growing prosperity?

Wives
and Daughters
Often lose the benefit of life
assurance, taken out for their
protection, because of ill-advised
investments. Again,
the intentions of the assured
sometimes fail of realization
through the prodigality of a
son to whom the sudden pos
session of so much money
proves too great a temptation.
The
Equitable Life
has provided against these
contingencies by offering The
Tontine Installment Policy.
The premiums per thousand
are much less than under
older forms of insurance, and
the amount is payable in 20, 25
or 30 annual payments, thus
securing a comfortable income
for the beneficiary. Write to
