The question, explains the Washing ton Star, is not whether the United States shall permit or refuse to permit the Panama Canal to be d g, bat whether the work of completing the canal shall be attempted bj F ranee at a Government instead of by frenchmen as individuals. F. C. Wines, in a recent number of the TnUrnational HtcorJ, of Char. tin andCor- teelion, says that in 180 the ratio of prisoners to population was 20 to the million. Ten years afterward it was CO 7, a decade later, So; , and eight years ago 1169 to the million. 1 The convicts in the S ate prisons and prison reformatories of this country amount to nearly 100,000, and Involve an annual Tost r.f about $15,000,000, which, according to the New York h- drpcndtnt, is only a small part of the actual loss to the people as the conse quence of crime caused mostly by strong drink. Says the New York Oraihlc: "The fact that Congressman MofTatt, of Penu lylvanis, is confined in a private asylum, the result of overwork and excitement incident to the recent campaigns, has called attention to the fact that over a half dozen Congressmen who were de feated foi either re-nomination or re election have to far this sesuon not ap peared In 1 ho Homo. In several in stance they are reported a suffering from melancholia . incident to their de feat." Within late years the demand for hemp has incieabt-d enormously, owing, states the Time hemocr.it , to its use by farmers fur Li r. ding grain by machine. Borne Idea of the incre-tsed use of hemp twlno for this purpose may be found when it is ihown that the total amount of hemp manufactured Into binding yarns in IV.O was only 100 tons, while in 1868 tho consumption was 42,000 tons. What i known ms the 'Rope Trust" have ndvanced the price since last August of Manilla and Bisal hemp from four to five seats a pound. In the Serbian Constitutional Conven tion there are 03 peasants, who appear (n the dress of country people, most of them wearing sandals on their feet, and all of them, without exception, having a long knife either dangling at their side or stuck in tho girdle. The wearing ot this weapon is the historic distinction ot a freeman in tervla, and the fashion is followed by some 1C0 other Deputies be longing to the class of merchants and artisans. This Great Bkuptschina,' as It is called. Is to revise the Servian Constlutlon. The annual report of the tomato pack of the Lnited States and Canada, as compiled by the American Grocer, ind catcs a second era of over-production. In 1889, in spite of cold, a backward season, heavy periods of rainfall in some States and long drouths in others, and early killing frosts in October, there was put up the unusually large pack of 8,319,437 cases of two dozen cans each, or a total of 7P, 006,488 cans, costing at points of production $0,000,000, and reaching consumers at a total expense of $,000,000. Shis is against 2,817,048 cases in 1887. The canning industry has grown rapidly in the Western and South ern States, largely reducing the demand upon Baltimore, Philadelphia and New 1 oris for such goods. In a few years each section of the country bids fair to apply Its wants from home canneries. The leading points of production are Maryland and Virginia, credited with 1,118,783 cases; New Jersey, 789,868: Delaware, 227,030; New York, 107,482; Western States, 706,599; Eastern States, 8,3C0j Canada, 78,090. From the following statistics It will be seen that there is plenty of room on the earth for all the people who inhabit it, and that there is no fear of our planet becoming overpopulated at present. Ths enure population of the world (now es timated at 1,400,000,000) could stand on the space occupied by New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City. The State of New York would in this way accom- I xnodate 500 times the present popula- tion of the world. The entire popuU f tion of the world, placed side by side, and allowing two feet to each person, would encircle the earth twenty times. The States of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, taken together, are ai large as England Any one of the States V of -.Georgia,-' Illinois, Iowa and North .Carolina is as large as England. Kan- Saa is as large as England and Scotland together. Ireland is about the size oi Ifaina. France Is more than twice aa large as England, Wales and Scotland . together. Texas is thirty.five times ai j large as Massachusetts, or as large aa Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas I eachusetts, Rhode Island, Connectxut, New York," New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tela ware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana com Dined.

Mr. vllliers. the .English war corre spondent, scents the battle from afar off even now He is convinced that sooner or later Britain will have to submit the ?uestlon of the Russian advance on ndia to the arbitrament! of the sword. Like many Englishmen, he is doubtful, sry doubtful, of the result. Mr. Vllliers regrets that England did not clutch Turkey when she had the chance to do so, not because of the added wealth that the Turkish possess ons would give to Britain, but because f the splendid qualities of the Turkish soldier. In his appreciation of 'these qui dities, he agrees with every war corresp mdent who has seen the Turks : in battle. The First Napoleon said of the British army $11 xr A mss rhaaa vnAn vriiY TTvv nVk French offi- cers. and I shall conauer the world.' So of the Turkish soldier Villiers says : "Give me this fighting material, under British officers, and the advantage to us would be tremendous." But the Turkish soldier is not wholly dependent upon his officer. ! "I have seen them," said Villiers, "when their leaders were shot down, continue to press forward with irresistible fury. JKot so with the Russian soldier, when his officer is dis abled ; he stands still, and at a loss. -The church is dominant in both armies. The Russian fights for his Got 1 and his church, and the Turk .fights for his God and his church. And this is one of the greatest difficulties that Britain, with its volun teer army, would have o meet in a con flict with Russia and its impressed aimy. Though dragged to unwilling service, the Russian soldiers, by conviction and training, are steeped is a superstition that makes them regardless or death.

Mr Jefferson Davis writes concerning! the race riots in Mississippi: : J j "The tendency to change seems to grow upon the negroes prith the Indul gence of thtlr right o leave at will. The accounts of riots in this State have been greatly exaggerated.

It is estimated according to the direc tory almost completed for Charlotte that she will show a population of 15,000 souls. Col R Y JIcAdcn, who recently died at hi home in Charlotte, left an estate valued at $850,000, not including $110, 000 life insurance. The steamer Tahoma, plying between Newberae and Broad Creek, burned at the latter place. The steamer is owned by F M Huasey. 1,500 negroes gathered, at Goldsboro to migrate to Arkansas, being induced to do so by emigration agents, but as the agents were run out of the country by a posse cf determined white men the col ored men were unable to secure passage. Five prisoners, all colored, escaped 1 uj county iau at aneiov on j Wednesday morning. They were Char- lie Armstrong, implicated io the murder 01 warmer I'miDecK last .November, John Logan, Cicero Eskridge, Joe Span and McCampbell. The Legislature passed a bill abolish ing all the white normal schools in the' State, eight in number, and applying the funds set apart for them to the county institutes, which will be held under direction and control of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Another negro who stands charged with the brutal murder of Mrs Candace Earp, in Robeson county, has been caught. S E Park took " his man to Lumberton. He got news before he ar rived there . that a mob was waiting at the town of Roland to take the negroes and lynch them . This made it necessa -sn ry to take them by another route. He got them safely lodged in Lumberton jail, but so great is the indignation against them that they may yet be lynched. In the Legislature the joint committee on the railway commission reported a bill to create a commission. There was a meeting of the leading railway officials at Raleigh with the Legislative commit tee. Among the railway men present were Sol Haas, T M R Talcott and A B Andrews, of the Richmond and Danville system ; II H Waters, of the Coast Line, and John C Winder, of the . Seaboard system. It was agreed by the railway J fetticiais that the provision in the bill that the commission should make all rates was harsh and improper. It was also contended that the minimum penalty for a violation of the rules of the com mission, which was one thousand dollars, was excessive. In the bill as reported, the minimum penalty ia made one hun dred dollars. Another ; change made in the bill as finally presented Is that the right to elect members of the commis sion shall alwajs rest in the Legislature. More interest is felt in this measure than any before the Legislature. SOUTH CAROLINA. A Building and Loan Association has been organized in Chester.

COTTON CROP NEARLY ALL IN Latest Report of the United States Department of Agrlcultrne. The cotton returns of the department 01 agriculture at Washington, D. U make the average close of the picking season six days later than last year on account of the later maturity of the crop and frequent rains. In many counties in the Southwest the crop has not yet been fully harvested.

The staple is shorter than last year, and there is more discolored and trashy fibre. The caterpillar and boll worm have been widely distributed, but the destruction by them have been greatly limited by insecticide.

Japanese sacred nuts are the latest fad in the market, and are having a large sale as curiosities. Their intrinsic value is small, but in former times the uneducated Japanese used to worship them. They are to be seen at most fashionable purveying stores that aim to keep up with the pro cession. In shape they are exactly like a pair of mounted ox-horns. They are two inches from tip to tip and are 'black in color, looking not unlike a black butter fly. The taste is very similar to that of a Brazil nut. They retail at from ten to twenty-five cents apiece, according to size. The remarkable quality about them is thaa they will keep sweet and palatable for twenty years from the time they are gathered. These nuts grow in the marshes of Japan. On cracking the shell -a heart-shaped kernel is revealed, and this shape is what gave rise to the superstition as to- the celestial character of the nut. Nno Tori' World. The Texas Pony. The most inexperienced horseman will not have to walk around the animal twice in order to tell a Texas pony ; that Is, one which is full bred, with no ad mixture. He has fine, deer-like legs, a very long body, with a pronounced roach just forward of the coupling, and pos sibly a 'glass eye" and a pinto hide. Any old cowboy will point him out as the only creature suitable for his pur poses. Hard to break, because he has any amount of latent devil in his dis position, he does not break his legs or fall over backward in the 'pitching" process as does the cayuse" of the Northwest. I think he is small and shriveled up like a Mexican because of his dry, hot habitat, over which he has to walk many miles to get his dinner. But, in compensation, he can cover leagues of his native plains, bearing a seem ingly disproportionately largo man. with an case both to himself and to his rider which is little short of miraculous.
