Harper fe Brothers, tbe well known publishers ot New York, have failed. The liabilities of the firm were five and a half million dollars. The bus iness was established eighty years ago ana was in the family for three genera tions. S. S. McClure, a rival publisher, gives the following as tbe cause in part for tbe failure : "They have kept on their staff men past their usefulness. They hare been too good-hearted and proud to discbarge men practically penniless." Commenting on Mr. McClure 'a ob servation, the Baltimore Sun, with good significance, said : "If it is true that misfortune has overtaken the Harpers because they were unwilling to turn away men who had grown old in Jheir service, it will add to the general sympathy for them and to ihe honor and esteem in which they are held. But, while It may be true that some money might have been saved by discharging men who had spent their lives in the service of tbe firm and had reached a time of life when: it was impossible for them to get etcployment eieswhere, it is not likely that the small sum spent upon these faithful men caused the collapse. It is more than likely that the business of the house was undermined by cheap competition." Justice Walter Clark's dissent from Justice Furches' opinion in the Bed-dingfield-Abbott case has been the sub ject ot wide and general comment. The decision of the Supreme court as rendered by Justice Furches ousted Mr. Beddingfisld from the office of Cor poration Commissioner and gave the place to Mr. Abbott, on the ground that the act of the Legislature in abol ishing the office of Railroad Commis sioner and establishing the Corpora tion Commission did not by right de prive Railroad Commissioner Abbott oi tbe office, as both were practically the same. Justice Clark's dissent has been pro nounced a very able one throughout the State ; and he has thus gained a new hold on the people's confidence as an able and learned jurist. And The Commonwealth again rises to say its little piece about the Railroad Commission, to wit : That we believe the said Railroad Commission to be one of the greatest farces that North Carolina legislation bas ever played. There has been more useless and unneccessary litigation over it than over any other question of as similar importance which we remem ber to have observed. All things con sidered, if there has ever come one scintilla of advantage to the State through the Railroad Commssion we plead guilty to such obtuseness of per ception as not to have discovered it. It bas been tbe subject of contention from the very first, and one of tbe chief features of importance has been all the while, Who shall hold the of fice ? We candidly believe that if there had been ho Railroad Commission or Corporation Commission in North Carolina the State would be the better for it. After all, the expense It has been to the State has been only another means of wringing taxes out of the hard earnings of the people. And many a poor man who never rides on a railroad train or hears even a locomotive whis tle has to bear his share ot the bur- den. The Commonwealth would like to see tbe next General Assembly, or the session of the present Assembly when it meets next June, abolish the whole thing and put railroads under law like individuals.

Washington's Self-Forget fulness : In his youth Washington was a roy alist of the royalists, ever delighting to talk of his duty to his king. At lorty he was actively arrayed against the king though every selfish interest would have prompted him to remain quiet. In brief, the change of attitude amount ed to this that he would rather fight for justice than live in peace with dis honor. WThashington was slow in making up his mind regarding the contest that was to be, but when once sure of his mind be was willing to risk eyery acre he controlled and every dol lar that he had. Still waters run deao, and Washington, though not a man of violent oratory, like Patrick Henry, nor of polished rhetoric ana scholarly attainment like Jefferson, risked all when chosen by Congress as command er-in-chief, and he would not at any later date admit that the dispute was wrong, or that the method was wrong, or that the outcome was uncertain. Men of boundless enthusiasm at the beginning of the quarrel came and went ; the complexion? of Congress changed with almost every changing piece of news. Men who with great flourishes of ink signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, were within a few months bickering among themselves and hindering the work of the very man whom they had chosen to lead the American forces. But de spite Congressional disputes, under hand cabals, distresses within the'eamp or discouragements outside in the country, quiet Washington still held to his purpose. It seems as though it were a blending of the unreasoning tenacity ot the English bulldog with the unmoved certainty of a phophet of good who with an eye keener than the eyes of those around him could see through the darkness and the discour agements, to a brighter and more per fect day. It is during these eight years that the mature-miuded Wash ington takes on his most inspiring form. As a young man he was loll oi the peculiarities ot young men ; as president and statesman his way was full of the difficulties that come to greatness. But during these eight years when, hoping against hope, he led the forlorn, himself forlorn, and working against ail sorts oi untoward workings, he toiled to build up an army only to see that army melt away again and then with courage began once more to toil to the very self-same end, he shows us who know what it is to bear burdens just how much more courage and self-iorgetfulness he had than the average man has. He seems to have become almost impersonal in his feelings, for we cannot deny that the insultsto him were many, that the plottings against him were such that tbe normal impulse would have been to wash his hands of tbe whole affair and retire to the comfort and peace and joy of a country existence. Yet never did he for more than a single moment yield to the impulse to turn his back on the cause he had espous ed. Horseshoers' Trust in Illinois. Chicago Tribune. The situation in the horseshoeing industry in McLean county, Illinois, is typical of present trust methods. The blacksmiths and horseshoers of that county met Tuesday and organized what they call a "county protective association." but which is in efleot a trust. They have adopted a new scale of charges that provides for an in creased 20 per cent, in the price" of horseshoeing. The excus9 given for the increase is that the prico of ma terials has teen raised by the manu facturers. One would expect that the maintenance of a blacksmith trust would be difficult, but the farriers have the aid of the manufacturers in carrying out their plans. The Hard ware Association, from which they buy their goods, has agreed that it will charge a prohibitive price to all biacK gmithsand horseshoers who ase not members of the association. The re onltwillbe that the public will be forced to pay the increased prices, and possibility oLcompetition is prevented. a n fnr rhnnmati Chamber- Iain's Pain Balm is gaining a .wide n Tt Johnston of Rich- s tj k hoan troubled with monu, iuu. uoo ----- hot .ilment since 1S62.

There's been a lot to say about tbe man behind tbe gun, And folks has praised him highly for the noble work he done, He won a lot of honor for the land where men are free, It was him who sent the Spaniards kitin' back across tbe sea. But he's had his day of glory, had his little spree, and now There's another to be mentioned he's the man behind tbe plow. A battleship's a wonder, and an army's rttghty grand, And warm's a profession only heroes understand. There's somethin' sort o' thrillin' in a flag that's wavin' high, , And it makes you want to holler when the boys go marchln' by. But when theihoutin's over an' the .figbtin's done, somehow We find we're still dependin' on the man behind the plow. In all the pomp and splendor of an army on parade And all through tbe awful darkness that tbe smoke of battles made, In the hills where jewels glitter ani where shout in' men debate, In the place where rulers deal out hon or to the great, There's not a single person who'd be doing business now Or have the medals it it wasn't for the man behind the plow. We're buildin' mighty cities an' we're gainin' lofty heights. We're winnin' lots ot glory an' we'er set tin' things to rights, We're showin' all creation how the world's affair should run, Future men'll gaze in wonder at the things that we have done, An' they'll overlook the feller, just the same as we do now, Who's tbe whole concern's foundation that's tbe man behind the plow.

A solemn looking Irishman entered a business house the other day and walking up. to one of the men employ ed on the lower floor, asked : "Is dbere anny cbanst fer a mon t' get a job of wur-rk here?"

"Shall Oi walk up an talk t' him?" queried the seeker for employment. "No need of that," replied the man. "Just whistle in that tube, and he'll speak to you," pointing at the same time to a speaking tube. The old Irishman walked over to the tube and blew a mighty blast in it. Mr. H. heard the whistle, came to tbe tube and inquired : "What's wanted down there?" "Tis Oi,- Paddy Flynn 1" answered the Irishman. " Ar' you tbe boss?" "I am," replied Mr. H. 7 "Well, thin," yelled Flynn, "sthick yer head out av th' second story win dy whoile Oi sthep out on th' side walk ! Oi want to talk t' ye !" Cin cinnati Enquirer. DR.

V. Brumfield, and be is a member of the Gastonia Coffin Manufacturing Company of that City. He is not directly interested in the cot ton manufacturing business, but talks enthusiastically about it because he knows that cotton mills have been tbe prime factor in building up Gastonia from a village of 200 inhabitants to a city of more than 5,000 population in a very few years. Mr. Brumfield said : "In 18S0, when I moved to Gastonia, it was a village of 211 population. About that time a movement was started to organize a cotton factory there It was to be a 1100,000 mill, such you propose to establish in Yazoo City, and was or ganized on the same co-operative plan.' It was a hard struggle to raise the $100,000 for the first mill, because our people were not then familiar with tbe almost fabulous profits which have since been made out of the business. However, tbe mill was finally organ ized and put into operation. The first year it paid off a debt of $20,000 and had $16 000 besides to carry to the sur plus fund. Since that time other mills have rapidly followed in the wake of the first one, until now wo have 27 mills in operation in our county. Tbe growth of the town has been steadily upward keeping eep with the prog ress of the cotton manufacturing in terests, as j'ou may readily see from these figures. In 1880 the population of Gastonia was 211 ; in 18S5 it was a little more than 500 ; in 1S90 it had grown to be a town of 1,100 ; In 1805 it was about 2,300 ; while now it can boast of a population of more than 5,000. Thus you will see that our pop ulation bas more than doubled every five years since the eetablishmment of our first cotton mill. "Are these mills paying investments for your stockholders?" the reporter asked Mr. Brumfield. "Yes, they ate all making big mon ey." Of course they don't always take tbe public into their confidence in these matters, because were their enor mous profits generally known, it might create dissatisfaction among their em ployes. I have personal knowledge, however, of how pome of these mills are paying, and witi cite you a case which I would hardly expect you to believe, without corroborative evidence. This, however, you may obtain by writing for a copy of Tbe Manufact ures' Record of April 7 or 14 last. A young friend of mine, Mr. John Love, was thirteen years ago a book-keeper in a hardware store in Gastonia, at the munificent salary of $50 per month. His uncle owned a cotton mill, and in order to get bis nephew interested In tbe business, offered to sell him some tock in it and take his notes for the payment of same. With some mis givings as to undertaking such a re sponsibility, young Loye bought the stock $19,000 worth giving bis notes, covering a long period of time, for the payment. That was thirteen years ago. Since that time the Btock has paid for itself out of the profits of the business, and Mr. Love has drawn in additlou thereto $9,750 in cash as dividends. This magnificent showing of the profits of cotton manufacturing opened tbe young man's eyes to the vast possfbilitiesof the business and he now owns a mill of his own, is interest ed in other enterprises in our town, and though only about 33 or 31 years of age, is worth probably $100,000. And this is not an isolated case. 1 could mention several almost as nota ble It is no trouble to get takers of stock in a cotton mill in Gastonia now. Recently eevc ral mill men hap pened to be talking together in our Ktown when one of them suggested that tbey build another mill. The stock foa $150,000 mill was subscribed right there In five minutes. When it became known about town, there was a general clamor among clerks, farmers and other small investors to get in, and the capital stoce was increased to accomodate them. "A mill has just been orgaized at Gastonia with a capital stock of $100, 000. As an evidence of the prosperity which is bound to follow the wake of cotton factories, I may state that there are now in course of construction in Gastonia two cotton mills, 200 dwell ings and eleven brick storehouse. "One of our mills, the Avon, which manufactures the fiuar grades of goods, ' gets its cotton from Mississippi, some ! of which comes from Yazoo county. Ssantiw . Bi(a&lus i " Ttid K-ri You Haa Always Bought The freight from your faction to Gas tonia is probably $3 per bale, yet this miii is credited with making a profit of 33 per cent, or more. You can readily, see how much more profitable a mill would be in Yazoo City, where ail grades of cotton would be supplied without having to pay this freight." Oil in Eoad-Making. Asheville Citizen. Buncombe county will 60on have a practical illustration oi the value ot oil in the making of good roads. Wil liam K. Richart returned yesterd iv from a trip to Philadelphia and New York, in which latter city he sesursd license from the Dastlesa Roadbatl company for the application ot Iho process in roadmaklng in North Car olina. The oil is applied to the rou.i? from a tank wagon with a sprinkler attachment. Mr. Ilichart will i o be fully equipped with this apparatus beforo spring, but he expects soon demonstrate the valua of the oil piocess by applying it by hand to some ot the private roads in thin vicinity. The oiKproceas has passed beyond tbe experimental stage. It has been found that a macidatiiizs.1 road after being oiled does not lose its top dress ing and that practically none of tbe fine stone i3 carried away by the winds. It remains in permanent re pair longer than the road not eo treat ed. The ordinary dirt roads are vaelly improved by the process, mud being almost unknown. Mr. Richart drove over a mile of oilf-d road out of Bryn Mawr, and over an other boulevard, an oiled "mado dirt" road in Chester county, Pennsylvania, and both wore in fine condition. In California there are more than 100 miles of road built in this manner. There tbe oil haa been applied to roads having four or five inefcesof dust with fine results. In nwd work the oil is applied only once a year. It is claimed that the ex pense is no mora than the cost of sprinkling and ordinary repair cn a dirt mad, while the greatest saving is claimed cn macadamize! roads. The public will await with interest the road work under the n$w procc-ss and il the results are a3 expected there will doubtless Le a marked improvement in the roads hereabouts ere many months. Ccund't Catch ths Old 2an. Selected. Mr. Kuhn was thrifty in mouey matters, and cared liltla for his arm personal appearauco. lie had worn the same old shau' y overcoat until fc:p sons were ashamed oi him, and tried to induce him to buy a new one. "Oh, no," t'.iOold gentleman would always say ; ' I would rather have the ten dollars that it would cost." One dav the sons determined that he should wear a new coat, and, be lieving that if he could get one at a good bargain be would buy it, arranged with a tailor to sell him a ten-dollar coat for seven dollars ond a half, they to pay the difference. Then they went home and told their father what a handsome coat they had seen, and what a bargain it would be to buy it. So the father went and looked at it, and. alter beating the tailor down to six dollars, took it and .started for home. But when he reached the door he had no coat with him. "Didn't you buy the coat, father?" "Yes ; got it for six dollars." replied tbe old man. "Where is it?" "Oh ! I was fchowing'jt to a friend on the street-car, and when he offered me eight dollars for it, I let him haye it." It Worked. "Mama," said Bobbie the other day when he came home from school, "has irony anything to do with iron?" "Nothing whatever, Bobbie ; irony means that we mean tho opposite of what we say." "I don't loye you a cent's worth, mama. Is that irony?" "I suppose so," replied the mother, with a smile that she didn't attempt to reoret-5. "Then," said Bobbie with an air of triumph, "wasn't it irony when you said the other day that you would'nt give me a quarter to buy a ticket for the circus to-day?"
