, THE MANUFACTURERS'1 ASSOCIA
TION. : This is an organisation whose first
! meeting was in unciunau. auout two
years ago. lt has a membership of
about 400, made up largely of the prin-
cipal manufacturers of e United
f States. The first annual meeting was
held In Chicago about a year ago, and
the second annual meeting was held
In PhiladelDhla in January. At this
last meeting it was voted to make th.s
city the heacquai ters of the associa
tion, because it was plainly seen that
it was here in a congenial atmosphere
for growth and or the accomplishment
of its objects, w hich are, very concisely
speaking. (1) the development and en
largement of home markets, and (2)
the creation and development of for
eign markets for American proaucts.
For the accomplishment of these it
has sent agents already to several for-
eign countries and will continue this
work on an enlarged scale. The work
of this organization and the commer-.
olal miiwum will nroaia rilv hm flnan
a nf in.lmuto Thp mnwiim la in Ihe
hands of experts and specialists. The
association is a body of practical man
ufacturers. The pulse of the organiza
tion is a guide to the museum people
while the museum furnishes a well or-
nl.Ad TOar-hln for the execution of .
The organization's wishes, as it were. !
The Manufacturers' 7 Association is
managed by Mr. Theo. C. Search, presi
dent. The membership fee is tab per
year. It is thought tfc&t the membership
to thl. aasodaUon will reach 1,000 in ,
tae neJU year.
These three Institutions, the museum,
tij school and the . association, . are
working in the most harmonious reia-
tions. each wiih the other. Each has a ;
a?;7u!
tion or Jealousies seen out of .the ques:
tlon. Separately each Is doing good
work. - Together the work o all cannot
but be far-reaching - in blazing out the
way "for the United States to become
the rival of the other great nations in
the commerce of all foreign countries.

he wanted it to get his dinner and then

he toid a sad story about himself and
cigatettes. To hear him tell it, he was
a cigarette fiend. All this he had quit
on this pretty Sunday morning, in

The crowd was with him. He held the

they had done a good deed in contrib

that has been In this section lately,
Willie George came from Chicago to
High Point seme time last fall, and It
seems that he has no parents, but ha
an uncle and an aunt, who are very
clever, high-toned people indeed. i
; Willie Is known on all railroad lines
a hundred miles from Greensboro, and
within the last two weeks he has gain
ed his notoriety. He seems to be a i
boy with untiring physical energy and
a somewhat Impaired mind. His am
bi Ion leads towards explorations and
adventures. 1
Some time ago his aunt put him to'
bed at 7 o'clock one night and waked
tie did she know that he bad left his
room early in the night, gone to the
depot, boarded the train for Greens
boro and then, bounced the vestibule
going South and was put off by the
conductor at High Point, or he would
have been in some distant town next
morning. I asked him what his great
est aim in life was. He said: "Well,

that I want to ride under there, but it

President and Mrs. Cleveland, in honor
of the Supreme Court, Mrs. Cleveland

Zulla, Venezuela. .... On
February 8 th, the social tide reached
high-water mark as the Washing
ton assembly ball was held at
the Arlington. This is regarded as the
largest ball of the winter. Mrs. Harriet
Lane Johnston, who formerly resided
at the White House, was the hostess of
the evening. The programmes were in
the foim of card cases, in delft blue and
white. Pink and white was the color
scheme.- After supper, which was serv
ed at midnight, a cotillion was danced.
The pension building, where the In
augural ball is to be held, with its
many brilliantly lighted windows, and
the moon shining upon it, ls engraved
in beautiful style on the Inside pages of
the souvenirs. The three inside pages
of the souvenirs were executed by the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
Each of the cards of Invitation to the
ball, which are to be sent to the mem
bers of the presidential party, and dip
lomatic corps, bears a colored Ameri
can flag in its upper left-hand corner.
There will be between 5.000 and 6,060
palms and other growing plants used
in the floral decorations of the ball
room. The dancing programme is as

Moon-struck folks are finding fault
with the inaugural ball souvenirs. The
full moon in the northwestern sky over
the pension building, is claimed to be
out of place. On March 4th, a very
young crescent mocn wlj retire as early
as 7: ,40 in the evening. A local "poet"
finishes his protest against the souve

"I'll bet if B.y Bryan had a-got there

In the spring of 184 Mr. 1 Page pro
cured some of the seed and sowed at
his place. Up to the time of the Anal
freeze-up last fall not a single sprout
had shown above the ground,: but this
is not considered discouraging, as it
always takes from eighteen, months to
two years to germinate. Decidin then

Mr. rage, in October 189. went to
North Carolina, and there. In Alleghany
cotmty, he remained for two years,
making his home in the midst of the
curious people made known to the
world by Amelie Rives in her novel,
"Tanis, the "Sang Digger." The plant
is colloquially known there as ""sang."
Hast spring Mr. Page dug up such
roots as he could find in the woods and
transplanted them. In June he took
them up again and started home, driv

hopes that the life out of doors would

snaae is a nrsi requisite to ine uccc.ts-
ful cultivation of ginseng. It Is expect-
ed that the first crop of the valuable
root win De reaay to pe narvesieu tor
the market in the summer of 1898, and
from that time on its annual value
should increase rapidly.
"You can easily understand," said
Mr. Page, "that with the seed Belling at
92 an ounce it is easy to put hundreds
of dollars into a small piece .of land.
The plants bear some seed at two years
old. On an average each bright red
berry has only two seeds, which will
produce duly two roots. I plant ont

berries to plant one acre. 'The plant Is

to get started in the business Is to plant

, n ' the Senate and House."
"And what conclusion does this lead
you to?"
"In view of these things." replied
Senator Peffer. earnestly, "it is appar
ent that the Populists as a body are in
serious danger of division, for, as before
stated, a considerable element leaned
to the Democratic idea, and Mr. Bryan
and his friends, including' Tammany
Hall, are organizing and shaping their
course for a solid movement In 1900 on
the lines they adopted In 18S6. We find
in North Carolina, as a representative
own view nas been, and now is, that
the Populists should have taken the
initiative last spring In holding their
national convention and now in torming
a permanent union ot what we call the
reform forces, if that be possible. So,
coming back to your original question.
i gee nothing left for the Populists but
to gather together the fragments of cur
wreck and start again under our own
banner and upon our own essential
principles, and that; I think, will be
done.", it
The Populist party, as a party, then,
will not disorganize?"
5 "I think: not," was Senator Peffer's
reply. hi
"But, from what you say, is It not
fn" parTy may leav youT and U tnis
obvious that the Democratic elermmt
be done wlil It not weaken the party
materially?"!
"Yes." :
In that event you become a hope
lessly minority party, then?"
'"It will leave us," continued Senator
Peffer, "where we were in the begin-
-"m Sif
to impress ourselves upon the country
as a aistinctive political body with a
creed- which, as a. whole, 1b new and of
sufficient Importance to compel the at
tention and ! respect of the best minds
of the country."
"Is no (Populism a practical revival
of the old greenback movement?"
'"I ain aware that that impression ex
ists," said Senator Peffer, "but nothing
could be more erroneous. The green
backer never went to the bottom of his
philosophy.. ? He was dogmatic. He de
manded, but" he did not reason. The
Populists vdemand an entire change of
our monetary system and our land sys
tem, our transportation and our labor
system. Our view ls much broader
and deeper' than that of the green
backer. We take up the Issues of the
times, while the greenbacker had but a
single question, and that was based
upon the rapid retirement of papeh
money. The Populist has a philosophy.
It he is mad; there is method in his
madness, and his principles being vital
they will be agitated until the issues
they involve are settled right.'
ula not the Populists make a mis
take in falling to put their own presi
dential ticket inathe field last year?"
"Decidedly so. It was almost suicidal
not to do so. What we should have
done was t have held our convention
Prior to those of the Republican and
Democratic ? parties. Situate as we

guished men as a candidate 5'or the vice

were doing the best thing that could tie

"In other words, you did the best you
could under the circumstances?"
- "That is 'it." replied Senstor Perfer,
with a smile, "it was Hobson's choice."
"What is the outlook for tiie Populist
party In 1900?"
"It Is too soon," answer! Senator
Peffer. 'to forecast the si tuition three
years hence. Probably; as much his

lists will have on the result of that

will be a sort of balance wheel between
them.!',1 ,
"You told me a year ago, Senator," I
remarked. Ttbat if the ; Poptdists pat a

Mr. Peffer's term expires on the 4th
of March next, and he will leave the
Senate after six years of bard, faithful
service. He was a Republican before
he drifted into Populism, and ls still a
protectionist. He has been a news
paper editor for twenty years. He was
editing the Kansas Farmer, a paper
devoted to the Interests ot the Farm
er's Alliance, when he waa elected to

orator of the day, the Hon. James J.

unknown in all its past history. It has
kept pace with the advances of every
other science or art, and ihas forced the
discoveries In all departments to pay
tribute to its cause, oe appropriated
whatever could be utilized for the good
of medical science. i-i
"The foundation of medicine has beer
laid broad and deep, ita chief Corner
stone being anatomy. Any other foun
dation would have proven unsatisfac
tory, and would have toppled and fall
en through Its own insecurity. Dissec
tion and only dissection can suport the
intellectual structure, -which we thirjk
should be owned by every practicloner
of the healing art. Charts, manikins
and plaster casts are of i much service,
but do not snd cannot take the Dlace
of dissecting the human body. The sur
geon who uses the knife without hav
ing anatomy for his tqrch, would be
criminally ignorant, and' would be held
for mal-practlce. The Solons of North
Carolina have never thought it' neces
sary to enact a law by which dead bod
ies could be obtained for advancing the
cause or medical science; but have
(through neglect of such a law) had
her sons in pursuit of medical knowl
edge, to be styled 'bodyf-snatchers. or
grave robbers, laying themselves liable
to indictments. by the cburts, and fol
lowed with the severe punishment. In
addition to the unpleasant and un
savory slanders always connected with
despoiling a grave. There is no law
prohibiting or interfering with the
study of comparative anatomy, but
the human body has always been con
sidered too sacred to jtouch with a
hand'bent on discovery, j Mr. President,
instead of objecting to ;the utilization
of the kind of bodies w are asking to
be distributed td-the several medical
schools, would it not rather be elevat
ing and ennobling to the body of a
cerlvict to be used 'in advancing med
ical science, thereby enabling the med-
j-lcal profession to apply their skill arith
more efficacy to- their suffering fellow
men. Having done no! good in their
lifetime, it doubtless would be a grati
fication to their disembodied spirits to
know that if they effected no good in
life, at least after death their bodies
contributed something t the benefit of
thope who survive. Mr.1 President, we
should use every effort :to glorify and
dfgnify North Carolina, not merely
boast of her mountains as the 'Land of
the. Sky," or tell of the mermaid's song
as old Ocean laves our eastern shore;
but-to be able to say' to -the world.
'These men and women ;are our Jewels,
thoroughly armed and equipped to pro
tect our people against the enroach
ments of disease in whatever form It
may appear." Other States have fur
nished the great medical schools by
reason of their large cities, rendering
superior advantages in the way of hos
pital facilities. But there is no reason
why we should not have our own
schools liberally furnished with all the
dissecting material they! should need.
'i"Mr. President, we are) living hot only
in a fist but a progressive age. In
which if we do not keep pace with our
neighbors we will be left so poor- there
will be none left to do us reverence.
Pass this bill and let our stu'lents have
equal opportunities with those of other
States, and we need not fear the result. :

among the Scandinavian and German
farmers arriving In the Un ted States,
got less than half as many as went to

The explanation of this increase is to

Saturday and Monday j last, over the
matter of th railroad lease, deserve,
perhaps, more than the mere current
notice-' that. they received. This prls- -mayc
person turned on the light at
every angle.. In a way to bring the "
blush of shame even, to a chandelier.
He "rose and shined' for all. Without
mm tne whole debate would have been
disjointed as a freight wreck; but with
the coupling pins that he dropped in -here
and there,- anywhere, everywhere, .
with the skill of the railroad man that -he
is, the great train of thought was -solid
and complete. To paraphrase a
simile exquisitely wrought out-by Mr.
Howells in sDeaklns: f tb lata Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Mr. Bus bee had to dls- v"
cern only tke thinnest trace of dust on

speaker ow Mr Busbee'- sld would
turn appeallngiy to Mr. Busbee as if to
say: "Mr. Busbee. kindly blow your
breath on my thoughts for an Instant
and let there be light." . ji.
Mr. Busbee ls not to be blamed for
being brilliant: some might be dispos
ed, Justly, however, to sympathize wltb .
mm. . -- . . .
For Mr. Busbee's brilliancy ls some
times as unbearable as it is unquestlon-
able. Of course he intends it : to be
unbearable to his opponent, but no
doubt he might prefer to be-grgteful t . "
his own crowd. But his brilliancy has -one
unusual quality: it is, a hinted,
above, entirely altruistic- -. For example.
when Judge Avery arose, very much
vexed, to remark that a writer -in a
Raleigh morning paper was "dreadfully - '.
mistaken," or words to that -effect.
where do we find Mr." Busbee?; Resting ;-
on his oars? Nein, me in kind. -He was
up In a nonce to defend the absent, to
disabuse Judge Avery of the monstrous .
Idea that any remark had been made. .

("probation, before or after, of Vice Pre.

Andrews would be getting an outlet for
his Ideas through a Republican paper ,
in which he has no financial Interest,
and to whicll, therefore, he would not
be admitted, unllmltedly, in an dltor- :
te.1 way. But Vice President Andrew -ls
a Democrat, first and.second, and he
v,oa n intcroat in the naoer referred -
to. Thus this argument goes to thun-
der, and it would be absurd to say that
Mr . Busbee co-operated in the editor--,
ials. (P. S. If Vice President Andrew
voted for McKinleythat don't In any way
affect his Democracy In many
other respects. This may seem strange, .
but Herr Wittkowsky ana juonsiuer
De le Croix can explain it.)

Again, Mr. Busbee is a Democrat.

deliberations of the ninth district del
egate. From his battery in the gallery
he enfiladed the stage and Chairman
Manly at will,, and lt may not be too
much to surmise that Chairman Manly,
if he could be X-rayed, would show up,
even to this day, some of the brilliant,
burning, brainy Busbee bullets received
that day in the neck and elsewhere.
To prove no, not to prove rvut. to rur
tber accentuate Mr.Busbee's Democracy
of that day. he wrs wearing the regu

the play of Delegate Busbee's Bryan
face. It was cheerful and sarcastic
"and pliant and dangerously playful go
ing over his face as the glint of the,
back of a serpent crossing a country,
road at noon on a hot summer day.
With this Democracy in his make-up,
Mr. Busbee would not run to the edtor
lal columns of a Republican paper, to
give effulgence to hiroself.v

But to return to the Supreme Court
room. Mr. BuBbee's volatility Came as

without telling what, under ,the clr-
cumstances. would become of Shook,
the new character Just Introduced.
Well let's see Shock's head en Bus

more solidity to Busbee's mental ere a- r
tlons. would it not be fair to sayelhat
Busbee's body would give more Color ;
to Shock's already robust cerebration? ,
But no, we take Shook without amend
