Many students of politics fail to make their work ns eilicient ns it might be. because, fixing their at-tention chiefly upon the purpose of the state, they look at the forms of organization of the political par-ties anil of the different depart-ments of Government, without giv-ing sufficient attention to the char-acter of the men tilling the otlices, and to the way in which these officers really do their work. They see a Government bureau organized to conduct the business of the Treasury Department, of tho Bu-reau of Insurance, of the Bureau of Statistics, or what not ; they do gee that often the clerks and stenographers and subordinate of-llcials are personal friends of in-fftiential politicians, and that they draw salaries double those paid in ordinary business life for corre-sponding work. They do not see that in many cases the officials ap to wish rather to invent more work in order that more places may he filled, than to do a cheaply as rk that it is neces-sary to do. On the other hand, many of the practical politicians, even of the i sort, look upon Government i- a working organization and fail t i see clearly just the purpose for which the Government is organized, the end toward which it should work. Without any especially evil intentions, they arc often very liberal with the money of the State, not seeing clearly that too liberal an i spenditure for carrying on the work of the Government means taking money from many people who cannot afford to pay it and tig ii to others who are less deserving, while at the same time they fail to accomplish the real purpose for which the money should be expended. When abuses in Government are vered, most good citizens wish reform, but they see only the pres- ' »il conditions and have not in '.heir minds a (dear conception of what they wish to accomplish by the aid of the Government. In the business of Government, as well as in private business, it is necessary lirst to have a definite aim to work for. If. for example, a municipal league is formed to improve city government, it is not sufficient that • -• p corruption among the city officials. That is good, indeed, and necessary, hut, beyond that, it is of prime importance to see just what - the city government ought to I i rform, in order that the mochin-f government may be adapted to the work. The citizens wish sewerage, rapid transit, pro-tection against criminals, clean [00d lighting, possibly beautiful parks, and art galleries or museums. If the reformers see these wants clearly and ask them-selves the questions, What is the most direct way to accomplish ends- How would a private corporation that had similar work to do undertake the task? the problem becomes much simpler. Many of our reformers arc now aiming merely at honesty in our city officials. Honesty, of course, is expected, but efficiency also is needed. So, too, it will not do, if we are to have an efficient Govern-ment, to see only the needs of the day. We must look forward and plan for the future as well, and this means that our Government must be organized so that it will be fitted to carry out far-reaching plans. In order to be practical, we must first get our ideals estab-lished. Patriotism involves hard work, unselfish work. In our historical studies we have read so much of bravery in battle and of the self-sacrifice of the eoldier that we do not commonly associate the idea of patriotism with the work of the citizen in time of peace. But I am not sure that it is no more difficult to be patriotic in our everyday life than in war time. In time of bat-tle most soldiers are brave. They nerve themselves for theencounter. They know that the eyes of their countrymen are upon them. In times of peace, to do one's duty as a citizen is to be thoughtful and attentive to little things, to be a good neighbor, as well as to attend the caucus, to take a great deal of trouble with no thought of reward, and this is a good deal to expect of most people. In ordinary life, most men think first of themselves, of their fami-lies, of their immediate interests. In our business life we are trained to care first for ourselves, and our habits of business we carry into our polities, often into our religion. The practical politician looks upon his work in politics as a means of earning his livelihood, or of gain-ing an influence that will gratify his ambitions. He does his work well from that standpoint. The well-to-do business man accom-plishes more for himself by confin-ing his attention to his business and letting politics alone. If the politicians are corrupt it will often pay him better from a financial standpoint to buy immunity from thieves or the accomplices of thieves than to take the trouble to secure, by patriotic action, an effi-cient, honest police force. The motives of the business man and of the politician are practically the same. Each is seeking to make his living in the most direct and easiest way. The politician may be honest in his methods or lie may not be. The business man presumably is honest in most of his methods; but if he is buying pro-tection from the police, he is dis-honest. Certainly in this genera-tion we must expect most citizens to act in tho main from motives of self-interest, except when abuses become very grave so that the ex-istence of the State seems to be | threatened, or so that their moral! or religious feelings are powerfully | aroused. The business of the! practical reformer, then, should be | to secure, if possible, from the working of these same interested motives, good results from the pub-lic at large. But how? It is clearly practicable and wise to give to our citizens more general information than they now have as to what can be done for them by our governments, local and Na-tional. A comparative study of what has been done and what is done in different countries will lead them to see more clearly what may be done for them if they will take the trouble to secure the right kind of officials. It is clearly practical politics in the best sense of the word to give this information in our schools, in our colleges, in lec-tures, in university extension courses, in articles in our periodi-cals and elsewhere. Again, the interests of different business and social classes are often so diverse that each should have fair representation in our legislative bodies if it wishes. Un-der our present system of plurality elections and singlc-membered con-stituencies this is practically im-possible. Our Congress just elect-ed shows how unfair our system is. The Republicans casting 48.1 per cent, of the total vote elected OS 8 per cent, of the Congressmen; the Democrats with 3S.1 per cent, elect-ed 20.1' per cent., while the 12 per cent, of the Populists secured only 2 per cent, of the Representatives. The 1.6 per cent, of the Prohibi-tionists has no representation. In a democracy it ought to be practi-cable to let the people speak, each pa'ty in proportion to its numbers. Otherwise we have in reality an aristoeracy. Tho movement toward proportional representation may well ward off more revolutionary schemes. The system is simple, and in Switzerland at least has proved practicable. From the standpoint of the public good, every movement, such as ballot reform or civil service reform, that tends to lessen the temptations in the way of the politician, and to make preferment dependent upon faith-ful service to the state rather than to the politician, is wise and prac-tical. Judging from the exper-ience of the last few years these reforms will comparatively soon be accomplished. The patriotic citizen will find enough to do in working along the lines suggested above, and he may be sure that in so doing he is mak-ing himself in the best sense of the expression a "practical politician," one who, with far-sighted view6, unselfishly devotes himself to the good of the State.—Public Opinion. A. Qodden, Druggist, Birmingham, Alabama, writes : "Please publish some of the lestimonal I have sent you for Japanese l'il° Cure." Richardson i Farias, (Jreensboro. Makes Pure Blood. These three words tell the whole story of the won-derful oureaby llooirsSarsaparilla. It Is the bc9t blood purilier and spring medicine. FTJSI0NISTS SURPRISED. The Democrats Continue to Hold Control of the Penitentiary. The Democrats were winners yesterday. The Pusionists were furious with impotent rage. There were several surprises in store for them during the day. They had resorted to revolutionary proceed-ings, hitherto unknown in the state, to make places for their followers, in the penitentiary and state library. They had parcelled out the places to their satisfaction, and after the caucus action of se-lecting the head men, thought that they already had the pie in their mouths. But it now turns out that the disgraceful proceedings of Tues-day night were of no avail, and that the Pusionists could not bag their game. They had the "coon," to quote the words of Henderson of Wilkes; they had the inclina-tion to "skin him," but their ma-jority had, Arab-like, folded their tents, and "stolen away" home, upon the expiration of the sixty days when their pay expired, and their partisan schemes, for the want of a quorum, failed. KITCH1N FALLS OUTSIDE TUE UKEAST-WOKK8. Capt. Buck Kitchin fell outside the breastworks. He wanted a job. He wanted it bad. He spent sixty days in Ral-eigh lobbying for it. He finally got the caucus to agree to change the penitentiary law so that new Poptilist directors would elect him to Mr. I.eazar's place as superin-tendent. The Republicans were not very anxious for Captain Kitchin to have this job, and appoint Popu-lists to all subordinate positions in it. Three of them told a Demo-cratic member that they would like to see Kitchin defeated if it could bo secretly done. The Re-publicans had already gotton their share of the spoils, and their ardor to secure a place for an objectiona-ble Populist was not great. Their pay had given out and their desire to get home was greater than their desire to give Kitchen and some others an office. And so, when tho vote for directors of the peniten-tiary was taken, many members had gone home, and the new direc-tors received only 77 votes, while it required 86 votes tc elect. When this fact became apparent, the wrath of the Kusionists knew no bounds. They were consumed with impotent rage, and were be side themselves with disappoint-ment, chagrin, and fury. Their faces presented a study of baffled rage. When the tellers presented their r. ,)ort in the Senate the Lieu-tenant iiovernor stated that there had hem no election. If he had hit Senator Rice in the face with a brick, that Senator could not have reeled more than he did when the significance of the Lieut. Gov-ernor's plain statement was realiz-ed. He gasped for breath, and asked if the Senate, regardless of the fact that less than a majority had voted, could not adopt a reso-lution declaring the Kusionists elected. Senator Paddison took up the cold trail twice, and argued that immemorial usage ought to be set aside, if necessary, to enable the Fusionists to put in their cau-cus nominees. The Lieut. Gov-ernor asked the Senator if he could cite a precedent in any St»te in the Union for the position he was contending for. He could not. He eat down, a sadder if not a wiser man. Speaker Walser, although he well knew there was no election, declined to so rule. He dared not rule that the Fusionists had been elected, and he was not brave enough to render a decision that the Bosses did not want. BAFFLED ON STATE LlliRAKIAN. The Fusionists had passed a bill to turn out the present State Li-brarian, and elect E. H. Stanford, a clerk, in his tdead. When the tellers reported the vote, Stanford, like Kitchen, had fallen to the bot-tom of the well to keep him com-pany. He received only 74 votes when 8G were necessary. F.WAKT AND COOK MUST WAIT AWHILE. The next surprise that stunned tiie Fq?ioni8ts was a communica-tion from the"Governor appointing Hon. O. P. Meares, JudgeT.f ;he Eastern Criminal Circuit, (Cook has been elected by the Legisla-ture), and Thos. A. Jones, Judge of the Western Criminal Circuit (Ewart has been elected by the Legislature). This was an unex-pected bomb that exploded, and scattered the Fusionists in con-sternation. It was tho Governor's notice that he intended to stand upon his constitutional right to appoint to all Judgeships, and to frustrate the scheme to foist Rad-ical legislators upon the bench in violation of the Constitution. Ewart was so nervous all day that he waddled about like a chicken with its head off. Cook is at home sick, and, of course, his rage could not be 6een. UEN LACT COMES IN AHEAD. The next surprise was the con-firmation by the Senate of B. R-I. acy as Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The caucus had de-creed to abolish this office, but there had been some kicking. The Governor did not send the appoint-ment in until yesterday morning, and then, with no quorum, the Fusionists could not have repealed the law. Rejection of Lacy meant to leave the office unfilled and th the Governor could reappoi With this state of affairs staj them in the face, the Fusi made a virtue of a necessity. Star-buck and Carver said it would bo very unpopular to reject a me-chanic, particularly since they were appealing for the labor vote. And so Ben. Lacy, like a brand saved from the burning, escaped, much to the satisfaction of all Democrats. BTATE RAILROADS UNTOUCHED. The hungry ones who wanted a chance to wreck the A. and N. C. railroad and the N. C. railroad are disappointed. Both bills to that end failed, and the management of these two roads will remain un-changed. REPUBLICAN TREACnERT AND TOI'U-LIST F0LLV. "The Democrats have fairly beat us," said an extreme Populist last night. "It was due to Repubicane treachery and Populist folly." Never mind the cause. The peo-ple will rejoice that something was saved from the wreck.—News and Observer. The Bessonette Cotton Bale. A recent issue of the New Orleans Times-Democrat contains a de-scription of a new system of ginning and compressing cotton, called the "Bessonette system," which has been tried at Waco, Texas, with results that seem to promise large savings and improved net income for cotton-growere. The system will produce,eays our contemporary, "such a reduction in the cost of handling cotton and such an im-provement in the quality of the staple as it reaches the mills as to give the grower more for his cotton than he gets now. A careful cal-culation, which leaves out of ac-count all doubtful, uncertain or theoretical advantages, makes the saving over $4 a bale, wlmh would give the farmer 4-5 cent a pound more for his cotton, save the South over $40,000,000 a year on a crop like the present one, and convert an industry which now returns little if any profit into a very pay-ing one. It saves, the farmer bagging and ties, hauling to the press and back again, and sends cotton to the mill in better condi-tion than it ever went there before." The Bessonette bale is round, but octipiea less space, costs less for carriage and insurance, and is in every way more satisfactory to the manufacturer. The mills that have tried the Bessonette cotton give, it is said, one-eight of a cent more per pound for it than for cotton hauled in the old way. The experi-mental stage of the Itessonette sys-tem has been passed and 10 per cent, of the next crop of Texas will be ginned and compressed, it is stated, by that system. The new "system,, is very simple. It consists in winding cotton as it is received from the condenser of the gin on a spindle into a cylin-drical roll under a pressure that secures a density one-third greater that can be produed by the iuoet powerful compress. The spindle is a small iron tube, which is with-drawn when the bale is completed. The covering of the bale is nine yards of eight-ounce cotton duck, which is applied in strips, one fold overlapping the other until the bale is entirely enveloped. It is applied while the bale is still between the rollers and is fastened at the ends with short nails. This mode of covering the bale is so much better that than commonly used that it must lessen the complaints made in Europe a8 to the loose and ragged condition of American bales on reaching market. The cotton is easily unwound, coming off in sheets of a firm, cohesive character, resembling cot-ton batting. Present bales occupy a space of 22 cubic feet, while the Bessonette "log of wood" has a volume of but 15 cubic feet. A large indirect benefit is promised from the substitutions of cotton duck for jute bagging as a covering, the change making a market for some 150,000 bales of low grade cotton. Though the Bessonette system puts :t2 pounds of cotton into a space of one cubic foot, as against 22 pounds in the ordinary bale, the fibre, is less injured by pressure, it is said, than in the old style bale. The bale, however, being more solid, in less inflam-mable. From the mode of its prep-aration it is less exposed to adul-teration with huge stones and chunks of wood—a point of some importance from the buyer's point of vie*- An Interesting Exhibit. One of the most interesting ex-hibits in tho machinery department at the Cotton States and Inter-national Exposition, will be the p-actical exposition of the process by which gold is extracted from the soil. Mr. John Wilkes, of the Mecklenburg Iron Company, of Mecklenburg, N. C, has completed arrangements for a separate build-ing in which the company which he represents will exhibit the new chlorination process, of extracting gold from the soil. The building will be a large and attractive one, and will house one of the most in-teresting exhibits ever seen at any exposition. It will be kept in oper-ation during all hours when the gates of the Exposition are open, and will be of peculiar interest to those interested in the new gold fields which are being opened in different parts of the Piedmont section, as well as to gold miners from a';l parts of the world.

Richard-son & Farias, Greensboro, AS TO APPROPRIATIONS. Money Provided for by the Fifty-first. Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses. Chairman Saytrs, of the House committee on appropriations, has made a statement of the appropria-tions of the Fifty-third Congress. He presents with his statement tables showing appropriations of the past three Congresses, as fol-lows : Fifty-first—$1,035,680,109. Fifty-second—$1,027,104,527. Fifty-third—$1190.338,661. Mr. Sayera says: "The aDpro-priations made by the Fifty-third Congress, including permanent ap-propriations, show a reduction of $:il>,765,856 under the appropria-tions made by the Fifty-second Congress and $45,341,418 under those made by the Fifty-first Con-gress." The bills as they become laws appropriated $16,431,480 less than the estimates, $8,030,909 more than as they passed the House and $6,- 121,955 less than the laws for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. Mr. Sayere, making a compari-son with last year, shows that there is a net increase of $5,877,- 320. The principal increases are : Navy, $4,388,950; postoflice, $2,- 309,398; sundry bill, $12,884,584; account of permanent appropria-tions, $11,999,276'. The principal decreases are : Indian bill, $1,685,- 017; pensions, $10,200,000; rivers and harbore, (no bill having pass-ed this session,) $11,643,180; defi-ciencies, $2,072,024. IIS, SAVERS' VIEWS. Mr. Sayera, discussing the ap-propriations, says: "Notwithstand-ing the considerable reduction made in the total appropriations at the last session under those of both the preceding Congresses, it will be noticed that the appropria-tions for deficiencies at this ses-sion are less than they were at the last session, and even lees than the average for the two sessions of the Fifty-firct Congress—a result which is to the credit of the pres-ent economical administration of the government. Wasteful and ex-travagant methods in administra-tor have heretofore made large deficiencies in annual appropria-tions to be supplied by Congress at each session. The sum charged under permanent appropriations— $113,073,956—includes $31,771,796 to pay interest on the public debt, including Pacific railroad indebt-edness, and $49,250,000 to meet the requirements of contracts author-ized by laws passed during the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Con-gresses. Appropriations were made this Congress as follows: For fortifications, $1,016,000; for increase of the navy, 122,747,896; for rivers and harbors, $1,837,115. Total, $13,611,611. RIVERS AND HARBORS, "The present Congress has au-thorized no contracts for river and harbor works, though it has had to provide nearly $20,000,000 to meet contracts authorized by the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses. Toward the new navy this Con-gress has appropriated nearly $23,- 000,000, while the new ships it has authorized to he constructed in the future will not cost within $6,000,- 000 of that 6um. The new public buildings authorized, including one in Chicago to cost $4,000,000' will not all exceed in cost $5,660,- 000 beyond the sums appropriated therefor, while the Fifty-first Con-gress left to its successors more than $8,000,000 to be appropriated r public buildings which it au-thorized, l-'.xcept an increase of 1,000 enlisted men in the navy, rendered necessary in order to put into commission the warships au-thorized by laws enacted during previous Congresses, and for an additional force of men in the in-ternal revenue service required to enforce the collection of the in-come tax, the salaried list of the government has been reduced by this Congress more than 600 per-sons, with annual compensation amounting to quite three quarters of a millior dollars. OROWTII OF THE COUNTRV. "Considering tho growth of the country in millions of population since the close of the Fifty-first Congress, four years ago. and the enormous obligations entailed by the legislation of that body, I con-fidently assume that the reduction of expenditures, amounting to more than $1.1,000,000 made by this Congress under those authorized by the Fifty-first Congress will meet the expectations of the peo-ple and will elicit their cordial ap-proval. "To have checked the biennial billion-dollar pace set by the Fifty-first Congress is an achievement in itself. To have done not only that, but to have reduced the appropria-tions of the Congress below the billion mark is a triumph vast in its proportions and significant of a return to economical and honest government."

AND THINK IT OVER! ■ .'III Mini dB>, I>n _"//i orrfi r r< ally to know anything unment, yon mtwl tee it - ffoodroir Wilton. Many students of politics fail to make their work ns eilicient ns it might be. because, fixing their at-tention chiefly upon the purpose of the state, they look at the forms of organization of the political par-ties anil of the different depart-ments of Government, without giv-ing sufficient attention to the char-acter of the men tilling the otlices, and to the way in which these officers really do their work. They see a Government bureau organized to conduct the business of the Treasury Department, of tho Bu-reau of Insurance, of the Bureau of Statistics, or what not ; they do gee that often the clerks and stenographers and subordinate of-llcials are personal friends of in-fftiential politicians, and that they draw salaries double those paid in ordinary business life for corre-sponding work. They do not see that in many cases the officials ap to wish rather to invent more work in order that more places may he filled, than to do a cheaply as rk that it is neces-sary to do. On the other hand, many of the practical politicians, even of the i sort, look upon Government i- a working organization and fail t i see clearly just the purpose for which the Government is organized, the end toward which it should work. Without any especially evil intentions, they arc often very liberal with the money of the State, not seeing clearly that too liberal an i spenditure for carrying on the work of the Government means taking money from many people who cannot afford to pay it and tig ii to others who are less deserving, while at the same time they fail to accomplish the real purpose for which the money should be expended. When abuses in Government are vered, most good citizens wish reform, but they see only the pres- ' »il conditions and have not in '.heir minds a (dear conception of what they wish to accomplish by the aid of the Government. In the business of Government, as well as in private business, it is necessary lirst to have a definite aim to work for. If. for example, a municipal league is formed to improve city government, it is not sufficient that • -• p corruption among the city officials. That is good, indeed, and necessary, hut, beyond that, it is of prime importance to see just what - the city government ought to I i rform, in order that the mochin-f government may be adapted to the work. The citizens wish sewerage, rapid transit, pro-tection against criminals, clean [00d lighting, possibly beautiful parks, and art galleries or museums. If the reformers see these wants clearly and ask them-selves the questions, What is the most direct way to accomplish ends- How would a private corporation that had similar work to do undertake the task? the problem becomes much simpler. Many of our reformers arc now aiming merely at honesty in our city officials. Honesty, of course, is expected, but efficiency also is needed. So, too, it will not do, if we are to have an efficient Govern-ment, to see only the needs of the day. We must look forward and plan for the future as well, and this means that our Government must be organized so that it will be fitted to carry out far-reaching plans. In order to be practical, we must first get our ideals estab-lished. Patriotism involves hard work, unselfish work. In our historical studies we have read so much of bravery in battle and of the self-sacrifice of the eoldier that we do not commonly associate the idea of patriotism with the work of the citizen in time of peace. But I am not sure that it is no more difficult to be patriotic in our everyday life than in war time. In time of bat-tle most soldiers are brave. They nerve themselves for theencounter. They know that the eyes of their countrymen are upon them. In times of peace, to do one's duty as a citizen is to be thoughtful and attentive to little things, to be a good neighbor, as well as to attend the caucus, to take a great deal of trouble with no thought of reward, and this is a good deal to expect of most people. In ordinary life, most men think first of themselves, of their fami-lies, of their immediate interests. In our business life we are trained to care first for ourselves, and our habits of business we carry into our polities, often into our religion. The practical politician looks upon his work in politics as a means of earning his livelihood, or of gain-ing an influence that will gratify his ambitions. He does his work well from that standpoint. The well-to-do business man accom-plishes more for himself by confin-ing his attention to his business and letting politics alone. If the politicians are corrupt it will often pay him better from a financial standpoint to buy immunity from thieves or the accomplices of thieves than to take the trouble to secure, by patriotic action, an effi-cient, honest police force. The motives of the business man and of the politician are practically the same. Each is seeking to make his living in the most direct and easiest way. The politician may be honest in his methods or lie may not be. The business man presumably is honest in most of his methods; but if he is buying pro-tection from the police, he is dis-honest. Certainly in this genera-tion we must expect most citizens to act in tho main from motives of self-interest, except when abuses become very grave so that the ex-istence of the State seems to be | threatened, or so that their moral! or religious feelings are powerfully | aroused. The business of the! practical reformer, then, should be | to secure, if possible, from the working of these same interested motives, good results from the pub-lic at large. But how? It is clearly practicable and wise to give to our citizens more general information than they now have as to what can be done for them by our governments, local and Na-tional. A comparative study of what has been done and what is done in different countries will lead them to see more clearly what may be done for them if they will take the trouble to secure the right kind of officials. It is clearly practical politics in the best sense of the word to give this information in our schools, in our colleges, in lec-tures, in university extension courses, in articles in our periodi-cals and elsewhere. Again, the interests of different business and social classes are often so diverse that each should have fair representation in our legislative bodies if it wishes. Un-der our present system of plurality elections and singlc-membered con-stituencies this is practically im-possible. Our Congress just elect-ed shows how unfair our system is. The Republicans casting 48.1 per cent, of the total vote elected OS 8 per cent, of the Congressmen; the Democrats with 3S.1 per cent, elect-ed 20.1' per cent., while the 12 per cent, of the Populists secured only 2 per cent, of the Representatives. The 1.6 per cent, of the Prohibi-tionists has no representation. In a democracy it ought to be practi-cable to let the people speak, each pa'ty in proportion to its numbers. Otherwise we have in reality an aristoeracy. Tho movement toward proportional representation may well ward off more revolutionary schemes. The system is simple, and in Switzerland at least has proved practicable. From the standpoint of the public good, every movement, such as ballot reform or civil service reform, that tends to lessen the temptations in the way of the politician, and to make preferment dependent upon faith-ful service to the state rather than to the politician, is wise and prac-tical. Judging from the exper-ience of the last few years these reforms will comparatively soon be accomplished. The patriotic citizen will find enough to do in working along the lines suggested above, and he may be sure that in so doing he is mak-ing himself in the best sense of the expression a "practical politician" one who, with far-sighted view6, unselfishly devotes himself to the good of the State.—Public Opinion.

The Democrats Continue to Hold Control of the Penitentiary. The Democrats were winners yesterday. The Pusionists were furious with impotent rage. There were several surprises in store for them during the day. They had resorted to revolutionary proceed-ings, hitherto unknown in the state, to make places for their followers, in the penitentiary and state library. They had parcelled out the places to their satisfaction, and after the caucus action of se-lecting the head men, thought that they already had the pie in their mouths. But it now turns out that the disgraceful proceedings of Tues-day night were of no avail, and that the Pusionists could not bag their game. They had the "coon" to quote the words of Henderson of Wilkes; they had the inclina-tion to "skin him" but their ma-jority had, Arab-like, folded their tents, and "stolen away" home, upon the expiration of the sixty days when their pay expired, and their partisan schemes, for the want of a quorum, failed. KITCH1N FALLS OUTSIDE TUE UKEAST-WOKK8. Capt. Buck Kitchin fell outside the breastworks. He wanted a job. He wanted it bad. He spent sixty days in Ral-eigh lobbying for it. He finally got the caucus to agree to change the penitentiary law so that new Poptilist directors would elect him to Mr. I.eazar's place as superin-tendent. The Republicans were not very anxious for Captain Kitchin to have this job, and appoint Popu-lists to all subordinate positions in it. Three of them told a Demo-cratic member that they would like to see Kitchin defeated if it could bo secretly done. The Re-publicans had already gotton their share of the spoils, and their ardor to secure a place for an objectiona-ble Populist was not great. Their pay had given out and their desire to get home was greater than their desire to give Kitchen and some others an office. And so, when tho vote for directors of the peniten-tiary was taken, many members had gone home, and the new direc-tors received only 77 votes, while it required 86 votes tc elect. When this fact became apparent, the wrath of the Kusionists knew no bounds. They were consumed with impotent rage, and were be side themselves with disappoint-ment, chagrin, and fury. Their faces presented a study of baffled rage. When the tellers presented their r. ,)ort in the Senate the Lieu-tenant iiovernor stated that there had hem no election. If he had hit Senator Rice in the face with a brick, that Senator could not have reeled more than he did when the significance of the Lieut. Gov-ernor's plain statement was realiz-ed. He gasped for breath, and asked if the Senate, regardless of the fact that less than a majority had voted, could not adopt a reso-lution declaring the Kusionists elected. Senator Paddison took up the cold trail twice, and argued that immemorial usage ought to be set aside, if necessary, to enable the Fusionists to put in their cau-cus nominees. The Lieut. Gov-ernor asked the Senator if he could cite a precedent in any St»te in the Union for the position he was contending for. He could not. He eat down, a sadder if not a wiser man. Speaker Walser, although he well knew there was no election, declined to so rule. He dared not rule that the Fusionists had been elected, and he was not brave enough to render a decision that the Bosses did not want. BAFFLED ON STATE LlliRAKIAN. The Fusionists had passed a bill to turn out the present State Li-brarian, and elect E. H. Stanford, a clerk, in his tdead. When the tellers reported the vote, Stanford, like Kitchen, had fallen to the bot-tom of the well to keep him com-pany. He received only 74 votes when 8G were necessary. F.WAKT AND COOK MUST WAIT AWHILE. The next surprise that stunned tiie Fq?ioni8ts was a communica-tion from the"Governor appointing Hon. O. P. Meares, JudgeT.f ;he Eastern Criminal Circuit, (Cook has been elected by the Legisla-ture), and Thos. A. Jones, Judge of the Western Criminal Circuit (Ewart has been elected by the Legislature). This was an unex-pected bomb that exploded, and scattered the Fusionists in con-sternation. It was tho Governor's notice that he intended to stand upon his constitutional right to appoint to all Judgeships, and to frustrate the scheme to foist Rad-ical legislators upon the bench in violation of the Constitution. Ewart was so nervous all day that he waddled about like a chicken with its head off. Cook is at home sick, and, of course, his rage could not be 6een. UEN LACT COMES IN AHEAD. The next surprise was the con-firmation by the Senate of B. R-I. acy as Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The caucus had de-creed to abolish this office, but there had been some kicking. The Governor did not send the appoint-ment in until yesterday morning, and then, with no quorum, the Fusionists could not have repealed the law. Rejection of Lacy meant to leave the office unfilled and th the Governor could reappoi With this state of affairs staj them in the face, the Fusi made a virtue of a necessity. Star-buck and Carver said it would bo very unpopular to reject a me-chanic, particularly since they were appealing for the labor vote. And so Ben. Lacy, like a brand saved from the burning, escaped, much to the satisfaction of all Democrats. BTATE RAILROADS UNTOUCHED. The hungry ones who wanted a chance to wreck the A. and N. C. railroad and the N. C. railroad are disappointed. Both bills to that end failed, and the management of these two roads will remain un-changed. REPUBLICAN TREACnERT AND TOI'U-LIST F0LLV. "The Democrats have fairly beat us" said an extreme Populist last night. "It was due to Repubicane treachery and Populist folly." Never mind the cause. The peo-ple will rejoice that something was saved from the wreck.—News and Observer. The Bessonette Cotton Bale. A recent issue of the New Orleans Times-Democrat contains a de-scription of a new system of ginning and compressing cotton, called the "Bessonette system" which has been tried at Waco, Texas, with results that seem to promise large savings and improved net income for cotton-growere. The system will produce,eays our contemporary, "such a reduction in the cost of handling cotton and such an im-provement in the quality of the staple as it reaches the mills as to give the grower more for his cotton than he gets now. A careful cal-culation, which leaves out of ac-count all doubtful, uncertain or theoretical advantages, makes the saving over $4 a bale, wlmh would give the farmer 4-5 cent a pound more for his cotton, save the South over $40,000,000 a year on a crop like the present one, and convert an industry which now returns little if any profit into a very pay-ing one. It saves, the farmer bagging and ties, hauling to the press and back again, and sends cotton to the mill in better condi-tion than it ever went there before." The Bessonette bale is round, but octipiea less space, costs less for carriage and insurance, and is in every way more satisfactory to the manufacturer. The mills that have tried the Bessonette cotton give, it is said, one-eight of a cent more per pound for it than for cotton hauled in the old way. The experi-mental stage of the Itessonette sys-tem has been passed and 10 per cent, of the next crop of Texas will be ginned and compressed, it is stated, by that system. The new "system,, is very simple. It consists in winding cotton as it is received from the condenser of the gin on a spindle into a cylin-drical roll under a pressure that secures a density one-third greater that can be produed by the iuoet powerful compress. The spindle is a small iron tube, which is with-drawn when the bale is completed. The covering of the bale is nine yards of eight-ounce cotton duck, which is applied in strips, one fold overlapping the other until the bale is entirely enveloped. It is applied while the bale is still between the rollers and is fastened at the ends with short nails. This mode of covering the bale is so much better that than commonly used that it must lessen the complaints made in Europe a8 to the loose and ragged condition of American bales on reaching market. The cotton is easily unwound, coming off in sheets of a firm, cohesive character, resembling cot-ton batting. Present bales occupy a space of 22 cubic feet, while the Bessonette "log of wood" has a volume of but 15 cubic feet. A large indirect benefit is promised from the substitutions of cotton duck for jute bagging as a covering, the change making a market for some 150,000 bales of low grade cotton. Though the Bessonette system puts :t2 pounds of cotton into a space of one cubic foot, as against 22 pounds in the ordinary bale, the fibre, is less injured by pressure, it is said, than in the old style bale. The bale, however, being more solid, in less inflam-mable. From the mode of its prep-aration it is less exposed to adul-teration with huge stones and chunks of wood—a point of some importance from the buyer's point of vie*- An Interesting Exhibit. One of the most interesting ex-hibits in tho machinery department at the Cotton States and Inter-national Exposition, will be the p-actical exposition of the process by which gold is extracted from the soil. Mr. John Wilkes, of the Mecklenburg Iron Company, of Mecklenburg, N. C, has completed arrangements for a separate build-ing in which the company which he represents will exhibit the new chlorination process, of extracting gold from the soil. The building will be a large and attractive one, and will house one of the most in-teresting exhibits ever seen at any exposition. It will be kept in oper-ation during all hours when the gates of the Exposition are open, and will be of peculiar interest to those interested in the new gold fields which are being opened in different parts of the Piedmont section, as well as to gold miners from a';l parts of the world.

Richard-son & Farias, Greensboro, AS TO APPROPRIATIONS. Money Provided for by the Fifty-first. Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses. Chairman Saytrs, of the House committee on appropriations, has made a statement of the appropria-tions of the Fifty-third Congress. He presents with his statement tables showing appropriations of the past three Congresses, as fol-lows : Fifty-first—$1,035,680,109. Fifty-second—$1,027,104,527. Fifty-third—$1190.338,661. Mr. Sayera says: "The aDpro-priations made by the Fifty-third Congress, including permanent ap-propriations, show a reduction of $:il>,765,856 under the appropria-tions made by the Fifty-second Congress and $45,341,418 under those made by the Fifty-first Con-gress." The bills as they become laws appropriated $16,431,480 less than the estimates, $8,030,909 more than as they passed the House and $6,- 121,955 less than the laws for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. Mr. Sayere, making a compari-son with last year, shows that there is a net increase of $5,877,- 320. The principal increases are : Navy, $4,388,950; postoflice, $2,- 309,398; sundry bill, $12,884,584; account of permanent appropria-tions, $11,999,276'. The principal decreases are : Indian bill, $1,685,- 017; pensions, $10,200,000; rivers and harbore, (no bill having pass-ed this session,) $11,643,180; defi-ciencies, $2,072,024. IIS, SAVERS' VIEWS. Mr. Sayera, discussing the ap-propriations, says: "Notwithstand-ing the considerable reduction made in the total appropriations at the last session under those of both the preceding Congresses, it will be noticed that the appropria-tions for deficiencies at this ses-sion are less than they were at the last session, and even lees than the average for the two sessions of the Fifty-firct Congress—a result which is to the credit of the pres-ent economical administration of the government. Wasteful and ex-travagant methods in administra-tor have heretofore made large deficiencies in annual appropria-tions to be supplied by Congress at each session. The sum charged under permanent appropriations— $113,073,956—includes $31,771,796 to pay interest on the public debt, including Pacific railroad indebt-edness, and $49,250,000 to meet the requirements of contracts author-ized by laws passed during the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Con-gresses. Appropriations were made this Congress as follows: For fortifications, $1,016,000; for increase of the navy, 122,747,896; for rivers and harbors, $1,837,115. Total, $13,611,611. RIVERS AND HARBORS, "The present Congress has au-thorized no contracts for river and harbor works, though it has had to provide nearly $20,000,000 to meet contracts authorized by the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses. Toward the new navy this Con-gress has appropriated nearly $23,- 000,000, while the new ships it has authorized to he constructed in the future will not cost within $6,000,- 000 of that 6um. The new public buildings authorized, including one in Chicago to cost $4,000,000' will not all exceed in cost $5,660,- 000 beyond the sums appropriated therefor, while the Fifty-first Con-gress left to its successors more than $8,000,000 to be appropriated r public buildings which it au-thorized, l-'.xcept an increase of 1,000 enlisted men in the navy, rendered necessary in order to put into commission the warships au-thorized by laws enacted during previous Congresses, and for an additional force of men in the in-ternal revenue service required to enforce the collection of the in-come tax, the salaried list of the government has been reduced by this Congress more than 600 per-sons, with annual compensation amounting to quite three quarters of a millior dollars. OROWTII OF THE COUNTRV. "Considering tho growth of the country in millions of population since the close of the Fifty-first Congress, four years ago. and the enormous obligations entailed by the legislation of that body, I con-fidently assume that the reduction of expenditures, amounting to more than $1.1,000,000 made by this Congress under those authorized by the Fifty-first Congress will meet the expectations of the peo-ple and will elicit their cordial ap-proval. "To have checked the biennial billion-dollar pace set by the Fifty-first Congress is an achievement in itself. To have done not only that, but to have reduced the appropria-tions of the Congress below the billion mark is a triumph vast in its proportions and significant of a return to economical and honest government."
