HOW far the South still is from the,
density of population of the North- j
States appears at a glance at
the tables above. With the i
t ion of Maryland, which lies close to
the nation's capital, there is not a
State in the South that has one-fifth
the density of population of the lit- i
tie New State of
setts. And would anybody question
the ability of any of the Southern
States to support as large a number
of people to the square mile as
live in Surely not.
This subject of population is a
very topic, it
some further calculations that
may be of interest. The population
of Pennsylvania is which
gives a density of persons to
each mile of territory. This
could not be as over-
crowding, nor could Pennsylvania
considered as in of famine
or pestilence if the population
should reach two or three times its
present figures. Ia many respects
Pennsylvania presents conditions
that are found in tho South, and for
a very modest estimate of Southern
possibilities Pennsylvania might be
taken as a standard. Allowing to
each of the Southern States a
of population equivalent to that
existing in Pennsylvania, would
give to the nearly one

The General Assembly.
The State Legislature meet to-
day in Raleigh.
There is some
Tery important business which
ought to be done. Most of the
members are farmers, and as a
great many of the measures are
demands of the farmers, we guess
they will be put the statutes.
One of the most important events,
if not the most important, will be
the re-election of Se. Vance to
himself. We now believe
there will be no opposition made
to him on the Democratic side.
The Republicans may put up some
one just to be beaten down. W e
think it would be far better to
elect him by acclamation, as was
done six years ago.
The public school law also will
doubtless come up for
and remodeling. The de-
seems to be for more money
to carry on better and larger pub
lie schools in North Carolina.
There will be, doubtless, more tax-
levied for school
and hope the school law will
remodeled so as to meet the
demands of the times. Some of
the teachers and county
favor compulsory
cation, but we hardly think
act will be passed by the present
legislature to that effect, although
it might best for our State.
The railroad commission will
also come and no doubt be pass-
ed. This is a subject that should

We hope they will submit to the

to a much smaller allowance. This
homestead under the constitution
has caused more than
any other one thing in our

sense of honor or scruples of con-

debts when they have no intention

Alliance Matters.
Pitt County Alliance will
its quarterly meeting next Friday
and we learn that some very
matters will be brought
before them, some of which have
already been by the
local Alliance.
One of these is the building of a
scale in Greenville.
They will petition the town to put
up the scale, which the Reflector
thinks ought to be done. It is
useless to argue that the scale will
be a great public convenience,
everybody can see that it is need-
ed.
present system of working
public roads will be discussed
the Board of County
petitioned to order the
Superior Courts of Pitt county to
sentence convicts to work on the
roads. This is another step in the
light direction.
Then the Alliance is going to
offer to build one tobacco
house in Greenville if the people I
of the town will build another so
there may be two. Good Now

town should not only agree to
build one of them but it should
also give tho Alliance a free site
upon which to build- The
men of Greenville will
stand in their own light if
they do not get to work this at
once.
Other important matters will
come, before the Alliance but the

The Hon. William E. Gladstone
recently celebrated another

years he has the most prom-

great statesman he is a scholar of
great literary attainments. We
hope he may yet be spared many
years of usefulness to his country.

For months to come the secret jobs in
the tariff law will be
ally to light. The bill is full
of these jobs, most of them bidden
behind the mere omission of an ad

the far reaching sweep of an iniquitous
It is always some
scheme of indirection by which some
old in the shape of a trust or
other monopoly can directions
A recent decision of the board of
United States appraisers brings one of
these jobs to light, and a very one
it is. This is the decision in regard to
knitted wool underwear and hosiery.
Under the old law these goods came

flannels, blankets, bats of wool, knit
goods and all goods made on knitting
frames, etc. The duties
posed in this provision on knitted wool
underwear and hosiery were fixed at
figures from cents per pound

; per pound and per cent, ad
on all goods valued at above cents a

In the new law a trick was performed
by substituting the word here

made on knitting machines or
The duty fixed by on such
goods is cents per pound and

to be an ample increase to satisfy
an infant industry which has already
fattened on a full century of pro-
But the tariff makers did not
mean to put the infant off with these
duties. The substitution of that word
had a trick behind it which
. meant enormous additional pap for the
hoary infant.
The bill was no sooner in operation
than the infant began to protest that it
must fed with a bigger spoon. It

This rate of duty is so enormous that

The Boston Commercial Bulletin, a high
tariff journal, is moved to say, is
a increase in To give some
idea of what these new rates mean it is
only necessary to state that even under
the old law goods costing a dozen
could not be sold at less than a
dozen.
Another trick put into the bill at the
I last moment is the proviso that all for-
window glass shall be packed in
boxes containing fifty square feet. The
bill as it passed the house last May made
an increase in the duty on all sizes of
window glass, notwithstanding the fact
that the average duties paid last year
i were considerably more than per
t cent., the bill contained
the size of the boxes.
The senate then took hold of the bill
and restored the duties to the rates
which existed under the old law, and the
bill went through the senate with these
old duties.
Meantime the window
glass trust was taking shape. On Aug.
I the very time when the tariff debate
was at its height in the senate, there
was a meeting of the glass men at the
Auditorium, in Chicago. On Sept.
they assembled there again to take the

California In 1840.
In November or December of 1840,
while still teaching school in Platte
county, across a Frenchman
named who said he hod
been to California. His description was
in the superlative degree favorable, so
so that I resolved if possible to see
that land, and with others
helped to get up a meeting at Weston
and invited him to make a statement be-
fore it in regard to the country
At that time when a man moved

spring and boundless fertility, and laid
stress on the countless thousands of wild
horses cattle. He told about or-

Every conceivable question that we
could ask him was answered favorably.
Generally the first question which a
asked about a country Was
whether there was any fever and ague.
I his answer distinctly. He
said there was but one man in California
that ever had a chill there, and it
was a matter of so wonderment
to the of Monterey that they
went eighteen miles to see him shake.
Nothing could have been more
on the score of health.
He said that the Spanish authorities
were most friendly, and that the people
were the most hospitable on the globe;
that you could travel all over California
and it would cost you nothing for horses
or food. Even the Indians were friendly.
His description of the country made it

a blindness that is phenomenal tho
of both parties are already
putting forward tho same old names for
tho presidency in 1892, just as though
the professional politicians, and not the
common people, were to name
dates. So the daily press resounds with
the names of Cleveland and Blaine, or
and or and
Hill. But as it was the vote
that has largely the late tidal
wave, so it is the wishes of the vast pro-
masses, especially of the central
and western states, and of
pi and Missouri valleys in particular,
that must govern, not only the policy.
but nominees of both parties.
Any failure by either party to
this overwhelming element will re-
in such a development of the People's
party as will equally imperil Republican
and Democratic chances in 1892, possibly
capture tho presidency, and certainly
sweep the country like a whirlwind in
1896. Our great

Rare American Stones.
The United States is fast becoming
land of precious stones. Diamonds have
been found in Georgia. Pearls are now
being picked up in Wisconsin, and Uncle
Sam is making arrangements for an in-
voice of some of them for his collection.
There ore some beautiful turquoises in
the cases which were by Maj.
Powell from New Mexico, and these are
quite as fine as the blue turquoises which
the government has from Persia. Of

beautiful, and there is a piece of aqua
marine from Portland, Me., which is as
big as your fist which shines like a

A New Way of Advertising.
One of tho most outrageous methods
of attracting public attention ever adopt-
ed was pat in operation the other day in
Brooklyn. A colored man and woman,
both well dressed, were walking down
Fulton street, when the woman suddenly
turned upon the man like a tigress, and
began shaking him by the collar and
scolding him. The man meekly tried to
stop her. A crowd soon gathered. Then
the woman let go of the man and they
both walked quickly away. As soon as
this crowd dispersed the woman be-
to shake consort again and
another crowd, and this scene was
repeated at almost every corner along
that busy thoroughfare.
Between tho man's shoulders was a
placard pasted to his overcoat
the use of some new nostrum. But
the crowd was slow to understand
whether the woman was really abusing
the man or not. No
man came in sight, though the scene was
unpleasantly well acted, and the crowds
obstructed pedestrians considerably.

Ho said that the farmers both north
and south would stand shoulder to

enemies of
tors and monopolists. There was no
sectional strife among the farmers of the
nation. They were all striving for one
times.
He deprecated class legislation; said it
was injurious to the people, and doubly
so to the farmer, whom the brunt
of everything falls. The farmers were
patriots, not partisans, and whatever
was good for the country they would
ways go for it. He said that the farm-
as a class were that they
were readers and thinkers, and their or-
did not bind them to any
political or religious reserved
to each individual member a perfect
freedom of and religious thought

He further said that the farmers have
determined that parties shall support
the people, not the people support the
parties. And the party in the future
which will gain the votes of the Alli-
will be that party which will

What Young Men Should Read
Once Week.
One of the most frequent commit
mentions from newspaper
is a request for information
touching the best books for young
men to read a view to self-in-
These requests emanate
the part from persons who
have missed the advantages of a col-
education and have been obliged
to leave school at a comparatively
early age in order to earn a
hood. Such young men constitute
the great majority of the rising gen-
and represent not only the
bone and sinew but large
of the brains of the community.
They have not much time to spare
the work of self-tuition, Mid it is
of capital importance to themselves
and to society at large that what
leisure they have should be wisely
used. It is, therefore, a deeply in-
question what books should
be recommended to who
the value of education, and who,
since fortune has denied it, are de-
to secure it tor themselves.
Let us first begin by reminding
the reader that all knowledge and all
wisdom arc self
ed. There is no plutocratic, as there is
no royal, road to learning. The
finest university does but an
opportunity, and only a fraction of
the undergraduates turn it to ac-
count. The students that
credit on a college do so by dint of a
disciplined intelligence and an
industry that any cir-
would in all likelihood
have made their mark. in
those lines of study to which the in-
the example, the appliances
cue of
are deemed particularly
study of the ancient languages and
of the most
achievements are due to self-
educated men. George the
most distinguished and most author-
of the English historians of
Greece, was not a university man.
Neither was Finley, who took up the
of Hellenic civilization, and
it forward from classical to
modern times. Self-taught, also, was
the late Sophocles, of
University, the master
of Byzantine literature in our time
and the author of a unique lexicon of
Byzantine Greek. We may add that
the regretted Mr. Palmer, who lost
bis life during the Tel-el
taught himself Arabic by
talking with Arab tailors on the
London docks, and was subsequently
appointed professor of the Arabic at
Cambridge University.
What is true linguistic is no
less true of mathematical acquire-
Both in pure mathematics
and in its applications to physical
research, some of the most notable
achievements have been n by
self-educated men. Laplace, one of
the greatest mathematicians and as-
that ever lived, was sub-
self-taught. So was Sir
William Herschel. Neither is a
university training needed for
eminence among the builders of sys-
of philosophy. In the list of
modern thinkers no names are more
Illustrious than those of Descartes
and Spinoza, neither of whom was a
college graduate. Some of the best
work done in botany, geology,
chemistry and in biology has been
performed by men who have owed
nothing to universities. With still
more emphasis may the sufficiency
of self-instruction be asserted in the
ease of architecture, ship-building,
navigation, engineering and every
kind of manufacture. Of the dis-
and inventors, to whom we
are indebted for so much of the
world's progress, a large majority
have been self-taught men.
Experience, therefore, reveals
reason why young men should be
daunted by the lack of a college
cation, or imagine themselves thereby
disabled for attaining usefulness
ice in any direction. Be
we approach the
what books should be read
we should say yet
prefatory word to the
method of reading. To rend
heedlessly, as most
a sheer
of time. The purpose of read-
two-fold, to acquire facts and
to thought. do
nor the an
concentration
Than farts or
repeated rehearsals of the
lion gained. To form Man habit of
thinking it will not
suffice to read another man's ideas,
but these must be weighed and sifted
and tested by an exploration of their
premises and consequences. In a
word, to read profitably one
read slowly and thoughtfully. From
a hastily volume one carries
away only a vague recollection of its
gain of no practical
value than the knowledge that in
such and such a library may be found
such and such a book. Many so
called learned men are helpless when
away from their book-shelves. Their
pretensions would be utterly
ed were they subjected to the test
imposed in China on candidates for a
literary degree, who are shut up for
days together in a cell containing
nothing but pen, ink and paper. It.
is one thing to know that
else knows a thing, and another thing
to know it yourself. To know where
to look for a not to know it.
Only a fact producible at a moment's
warning from within the four walls
of your skull is veritably your
session, and only a thought
you have struck out for yourself
truthfully be called your own.
In determining what books he
should read, a young man will con-
sider, first, their relation to the par-
vocation in which he is en-
gaged, or wishes to engage; and,
secondly, their bearing on the
enrichment and training of his
mind. There is no species of em-
no trade, no business, no
profession, which has not its special
literature devoted to an explanation
of its principles, processes and aims.
It is by mastering this and
technical literature, by learning the
shortcomings of handicraft
or and reflecting on the
cal endeavors to them, that
the great inventions hove made;
those, for example, of the gin,
of the spinning and weaving
isms, of the steam-engine, the loco-
motive, the steam-boat, the propeller,
the electric telegraph, the electric
light, the electric motor and the
sewing machine. The authors of
those discoveries were
not content with being accomplished
workmen in the crafts or arts already
in processes
ready known. They did not rest
until they brought to a focus all the
illumination which history and
science could cast their calling
and thus the failures of the past
evoked a triumphant innovation.
There is no branch of mechanics as
to which an ambitious workman can-
not, in his hours, obtain a
great deal of useful information and
suggestion. He will find helpful and
articles, dealing with
the purposes and methods of his par
calling, in all the principal
encyclopedias, and there are special
dictionaries, like those of and
Bran devoted to the practical
of science and art. A
comprehensive notion of what has
been achieved and what is hoped for
in his vocation can be obtained from
such books, and they will refer him
to technical treatises in which the
subject is discussed in more detail.
Besides, however, acquiring the
specific information calculated to
assist him in his trade or business, a
young man, who enters on the work
of self-education, will recognize the
necessity of so storing and
his intellect that he will understand
the world he lives in, and fit himself
to discharge his many duties to his
and to his society. To this
end he needs to familiarize himself
with two kinds of literature dis-
by as the
of knowledge and the lit-
if power. To the former be-
long all those books to which we re-
sort for Among these, first of
all, one should study treatises on
anatomy physiology, since it is
of importance that a man
should know how his body is con-
and how it works. Then he
should acquire at least rudiments
of astronomy and geology, that he
may know something about the solar
system to which this planet belongs
and the successive stages
through which earth's crust has
passed. Then he should master, at
event- the elements of biology,
botany natural history, that he
may the difference be-
tween inorganic and organic matter
and gain tome notion of the infinite
variety and complexity of the forms
of vegetable and animal life. Next,
the struggles of man to improve his
situation through organized societies
are to be followed in history and
political economy. Care,
should cf course be taken to select

Mixed the Bodies Up.

name, had a
Amelia, who had gone to Nice
for her health, and had there died.
The mother telegraphed to an under-
taker in that city to forward the body-
to This was apparently done
and in due time a box arrived en-
closing an elaborate coffin, which was
supposed to contain the body of the
maiden. Just as the ceremonies of
the funeral were about to begin, the
mother insisted upon having the
coffin opened, which rat done forth-
with, and in place of the young girl
there was found the body of an old
Russian military officer, dressed in
uniform decked out with medals, and
holding a naked sword in his hand.
Telegrams were immediately dis-
patched to Nice, and it was learned
that the bodies had been mixed up;
the maiden had gone to
instead of Potsdam. Then
was wired, and the
ties were interrogated in every

that the body of young lady
had been duly buried with full
pomp and circumstance, and a
general holiday had been enjoyed in

supposed to be the officer's memory.

The latest thing in electricity is a

new machines are costly affairs with
a small electric battery hidden
within a carved or polished box.
The slender metal lighters and res-

touching lighter to the gas jet,
the smoker draws it over heavily
charged tongues of serpents, when
a series electric sparks shoot
their throats. These sparks
ignite the alcohol on the end of the
lighter with which in torn yon may
light your cigar with grace and

Senator of Delaware, has
some sensible ideas about reciprocity,
and he has introduced a resolution
in the Senate authorizing the
to open negotiations for
purpose of framing reciprocity
tis between the United States and
Mexico, and tho United States and
Canada. Notwithstanding the fact
that reciprocity treaties with those
two countries would be of more real
benefit to the people of this country
than all of those proposed by Mr.
Blaine with the South and Central
American republics, there isn't the
slightest probability that the
Senators will support Mr.
Gray's resolution. It isn't real
reciprocity that the
favor, but an imitation that will
serve for the time being to blind tin-
voters of this country.

Hon Edward Atkinson's review of
the world's iron and steel trade,
which was recently published in the
Record, of Baltimore,
has attracted such wide attention, in
Europe well as in America, that it
has been issued in a pamphlet of GO
pages by the Record.
Mr. Atkinson the Iron and
steel making resources and require-
of the world, and shows how
rapidly the consumption of these
metals, is increasing. He claims that
it is not n question of where to find a
market for all the iron that will be
produced by the many new furnaces
under construction, but rather, how
shall we build furnaces rapidly
enough to meet the steadily
demand for iron. After review-
the course of the world's iron
trade for the last thirty or forty
years, and showing that England has
reached the utmost limit of its pro-
and that the cost of its iron
making must constantly

He believes that the South
possesses the supreme advantage of
proximity of unlimited supplies of
ore, coal and limestone, which must
insure this section becoming the iron
and steel making net only of
America, but of the world. Mr.
Atkinson's article is probably the
most brilliant paper on any
cal subject that has appeared for
several years, and it is of profound
interest to every business man in the
country. It is of special value to
everyone interested in the South, and
the development of the mineral
resources of this section. The Man-
Record has rendered the
South a signal service in the
of this article, which, since it
first appeared in that paper a few
months ago, has proved of vast
fit to this section. The price of the
pamphlet is cents,

Republican who dared to stand

that he would not be bull-dozed Into
supporting the Force bill, which he
believes can only make trouble, and
very serious trouble, if enacted into
a law. His speech, which war main-
addressed to the Republican Sena
tors, was a strong arraignment of the
bill from a Republican stand-point.
There are several other Republican
Senators who think with Mr. Stew-
