Two prominent dealers Just arrived
in Richmond from North Carolina by
the afternoon train. speaking of the
new growth say: I'VE do not think the
crop is showing as much color as 1t did.
Breaks are heavy. There were lots of
wagons coming through Oxford this
morning. No wroppers and filters.
The tobacco which Is being sold Is def
cient in JOdy, and the color does not
compare with the first curing. There
are no mahogany wrappers Ia the crop.
The crop around Raleigh Is little late
on account Of its being cured on the
stalk, instead of printing. and IS about
the same as is reported on the other
markets.
The Durham Daily Globe Of the 10Th
has the following:
DURHAM. September GIVE have TO
report rather small breaks and some
grades a shade lower. Nearly all was
new on lne maj net ~ td1. thc tofOi
was not 50 good as heretofore. The late
cutting Of tobscco has not cured S
bright as the earlier curings. We saw
some red filters on the market TO day
aud they sold well. We hope to see
some good sun-cured red filters soon.
II is what the manufacturers need for
special brands of chewing tobacco. and
let our farmers bear this in mind. Some
good sun-cured filters are very much
needed and would sell for fine prices
Let our farmers look to their interest
and make no mistake.
The Ashevile IOb0cco Journal made
It's bow to the public on yesterda,
The specimen copy is most readable
and interesting, and if that standard IS
maintained it will be a valuable addi-
ton TO our tobacco literature.
The Richmond Tobacco market is ac-
tive for wrappers and filters. Several
large dealers in wrappers have been ON
tie market for the past few days, AMI
sales have been greatly in excess Of
those reported by {. Mel.

NEW MEXICO IN THE UNION.
An Urgent Appeal From the Governor Of
the Southern Territory.

An Urgent Appeal From the Governor Of
the Southern Territory.
WASHINGTON, October 31.-L. Bradford
Prince, the Governor Of New Mexico, in his
annual report to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, calls special attention to the subject of
land titles in that Territory. The Governor
reviews the history of Congressional action
in the matter, and states what action on the
question is necessary. Upon the subject of
Statehood the Governor says, in part:
New Mexico was a much older Territory than
either Of those admitted; its population largely
exceeded that of Montana or Washington, it
had special right to self-governmentu under the
treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo; it had only
failed of admission in 1876 by an accident; its
resources were both greater and more varied.
and its population was better adapted for safe
and conservative self-government than that OF
other sections of the West. This refusal TO ad-
NIT he T has forced us to recognize that there is
g. prejudice in the older States against New
Mexico. which, although based solely on ignor-
ance of our condition, yet it is none the less
powerful and injurious.
The Governor answers, at some length,
the statement made by persons opposed to
the admission of the Territory, tending to
show that she is not yet prepared for State
hood He shows that, while the older ma
tive population is more or less illiterate,
this is not true of a very large proportion of
her people. The ratio of illiteracy, he says,
has been reduced 20 per cent during the last
five years. The Governor makes an earnest
plea for the admission of New Mexico into
the Union,

WHAT is PROHIBITED.
The Commission Called on to Define its
Reading of the Law.

The Commission Called on to Define its
Reading fthe Law.
WASHINGTON, October 81. Mayor
Thomas n. Hart, of Boston, recently ad-
dressed a communication to the Civil
Service Commission, asking what part the
members of the civil service may properly
take in politics. In reply the Commission
calls Mr.. Hart's attention to the regulation
Of the President of July IA, 1886 president
Cleveland's letter to heads of departments
in the service of the General Government.
and to the subsequent instructions of the
Postmaster General to postmasters and their
employees. The reply continues:
Beyond prohibition as to political assess
ments, the civil service act and rules confer no
authority OF duty upon the commission to inter-
fere in the conduct Of ofiiceholders. The COM
mission has no part IN removals, except where
removal is made for the reasons forbidden by
the act and the system does not impair the
legitimate and salutory activity of parties or
abridge the right of officials to vote and freely
express their opinions. As TO where
the precise line dividing the proper and improp-
er participation of officehOldeTs and public ser
wants in party politics is to be drawn must evi-
IDENTIFY be left to the discretion of the President
and appointing officers.
The commission has also semi a reply to
the query of clerk in the New York post
Office, who asked whether political con-
tribution made at the request of the secre-
tsry of a political committee would be in
violation of law, and whether, if a person
were degraded or cropped from the service
for not making such a contribution, the
commission would investigate the matter.
The commission, in its reply, says:
That the act and rules do not prohibit a con-
trbution by an oficeholder for political pur-
poses, and that the commission will investigate
aod report concerning any dismissal or degrada-
ton of any person in the civil service, or any
change In his official rank or compensation, be-
cause he has given or withheld or neglected to
make any contribution of money or other Yalu-
able thing for any political purpose.

Nearly a score of Persons Injured, Some of
Whom Will Die.
KANSAS CITY. October 31.-At day
break this morning rail gave way under
the west-bound vestibule passenger train on
the Chicago, Santa Fe and California. The
engine passed over in safety, but all the
cars were derailed, except the dining car
and sleeper. The baggage car was thrown
on its side across the track, the smoking
car was overturned and the chair car was
stood almost on its end. There were not
many passengers in the latter cars, but they
all received injuries that were more or less
serious.
D. Campbell, of Chicago, an expressman
in the baggage car, was crushed by the safe,
and will die. Thomas Beck, livestock
dealer of this city, had his ribs broken, was
also injured internally, and cannot recover.
The others seriously injured are: George
Kerchenmayer,' 'of this city, left leg broken;
f. W. Mason, OF Kiowa, Kan, badly
crushed about the body; Mrs. G. H. Good
win, of Independence, Kan, bruised about
the body; Charles Newhouse, of Peoria, ILL,

A CIVIL SERVICE VICTORY.
The District of Columbia Commissioners VIII
Make No Political Appointments.

Make No Political Appointments.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, October 31.-President
Harrison's Board of District Commissioners
has adopted civil service reform with a
vengeance. There are three Com
missioners-one Democrat, one
a Republican, and the other an
army officer, supposed to be without any
politics whatever in his makeup. The
Democrats and the army officer have COM
bined against the Republican Commits
sioner, and issued an order announc-
ing that hereafter no appointments will be
made for political reasons. This unusual
proceeding is being hailed with joy by the
civil service commissioners and their
followers, but not by the rank and file of
the Republicans Of the District of Colum-
bia who spent their money for the election
of Benjamin Harrison.
Mr.. Douglass, the Republican Commits
sioner, while not announcing himself
spokesman, emphatically expresses surprise
that his colleagues should find it necessary
to announce in advance what their policy is
to be with regard to appointments. He
bases his objection to the order on this
ground. He says that no such thing was
ever heard of before as a body of Govern
ment officials forestalling their official acts
in the newspapers.

corsets is neat enough to have
been made by a woman; it is
loops of corset lace instead
of metal eyelets.
Eyelets cut the laces; the
loops don't.
Eyelets rust; the loops
don't.
Eyelets make the lacing
show through thin dresses;
the loops don't.
We call the loops soft eye
lets; but they are tough;
they won't wear out in the
life of a corset.
Soft eyelets are used in the
Ball and Kabo corsets, which
are sold in most of the stores
in this way: you pick out
what you think you want and
wear it two or three weeks;
if not right you return it and
get your money back; and, if
a soft-eyelet corset-either
the Ball or the Kabo-fails
in a year, in any part but the
steels, you get your money
back.
