Senator Williams said he was a men,
Der OF the Senate of 1866, and he had
never heard Of such thing as drawing
Tor seats. He was opposed to any such
innovation, and moved TO table the res.

DR.. Twitty, of Rutherford, requested
Mr.. Williams, of Pitt, to withdraw his
motion to table and the motion was
withdrawn.
Mr.. Turner, of Iredell, made the

LONDON, Jan. THE st. James Ga

United States being massed in the waters
Of the Pacific ocean unless it intends to

CrowI Overdraws 100000.
IBy United Press. I

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. -Ex-counsel-
lor H. Webster Crowl has succeeded in
making reputation as sort Of local
Napoleon of finance" by series of in
genlous transactions. Mr.. Crowl had
been extensively engaged in land specu-
lations and failed several months ago,
owing several hundred thousand dollars.
On Monday afternoon at meeting of the
stockholders of the Franklin bank, it was
learned from President Baker that Crowl
had overdrawn his account on that bank
upward of 100000. Further than
this, the bank holds Mr.. CroWl's
paper to an extent to increase his
Indebtedness to the bank to S119,-
600 President Baker said Crowl was
enabled to overdraw his account through
the incapacity and untrustworthiness Of
Cashier Gardner, who had been dismiss
ed Mr.. Baker, in reply to a question as
to whether he thought Gardner had
made anything out of the transaction,
replied that he thought not, but he could
not account for the cashiers action eX-
cept on the ground that Crowl had hyp-
notised him.
What Crowl did with all the money he
picked up around town is a mystery to
those who know him. He borrowed
right and left, subscribed to stock, gave
his notes for it, and in fact, wherever he
could pick up dollar he did 50, and
that was the laft seen of it. CroWl is In
Roanoke, Va.
Gardner was Sunday y-school superin.
tendent, and Crowl was pillar OF the
church.

because it would demonetize gold. More

Repairs Needed at the Library.

1t is stated on good authority that consid-
erable repairs will have to be made upon
library building if the damage done during
last winter is not to be repeated ON more
disastrous scale. Last winter after the
heavy snow storms the work of clearing the
roof of the music hall occasioned much
trouble and expense. The snow drifted
there more than once to the extent of many
wagon loads, and had to be shoveled Off as
quickly as possible, for it soaked through
the roof and ruined the frescoing of the
hall. 1t is said that the specifications de-
manded that the tiles should be cemented,
but they were not and the roof has always
leaked. The roof ought to be repainted at
once. Another thing that must be done be-
fore the big billiards come along is to pro-
tect the skylight of the catalogung ROOM
Last winter mass of snow slid down from
the library roof upon this skylight, broke
the glass and overwhelmed fair cataloguer
and the books on the tables. The roof is not
provided with large enough gutter to pre-
vent such avalanches, and the best way to
protect the skylight below would be to set
mp gridiron of iron to break and scatter
the snow. This will probably be done.

FAILING WALES

The breaking of the storm on Pittsburg
Yesterday, besides the usual results of
high wind in breaking down wires and
smashing an occasional sign, found high
and partially completed wall on the South
Side of the river, which was without the
strength to resist the force brought
against it, It's fall into the neighboring
hoascs and the loss of one life are the in
evitable results.
The case repeats on smaller scale the
disaster TO the Wiley building of few
years ago: and it is instructive to notice
that the same excuse, that builders cannot
be expected to guard against such extra
ordinary storms, is already repeated. But
To that it must be answered that the storm
Of yesterday, while unusual, was not IN
precedented. 1t was preceded by a re-
markably low barometer, and came with a
suddenness that made it especially impress
sive. But the Signal Service reports its
maximum speed at q miles per hour,
while that of the Wiley building was 29.6
miles per hour When we consider that a
speed of forty or fiftymiles an hour is gen.
orally regarded as necessary to establish
cyclone of destructive energy, it is plain
that such winds as these are not an ade-
quate excuse for falling buildings.
The fact is the lesson in this case
repeats that of the Wiley building, namely,
the risk of run ming up high walls without
closing the ends or providing adequate
bracings, especially in damp weather
when the mortar sets slowly Twice in
the past few years haste of this sort has
proved to be waste of property and life as
well. The experience ought 10 be suffi-
cient to produce change in the practice

ficially enhanced prices, or stock-jobbing
manipulations to secure prosperity. If it
does not perform the mercantile service
more cheaply or better than the usual
system, it will speedily lose the support of
the farmers. Beyond that the cash system
which was the sheet anchor of the Roch-
dale plan-is more than likely to prove a
rock in the path of agricultural co-opera-
ton.
Nevertheless, there are many aspects in
which this project shows decided strength.
A cooperative enterprise of that magni-
tude should be able to defeat the many de-
vices by which excessive profits are secured
to middlemen in the marketing and dis
tribution of profits. Indeed, in the present
paralysis of legal principles before the
might of the trusts, it is doubtful if there
is any way to Offset those combinations ex-
cept by organization of consumers on these
lines.

THE FARMERS, COOPERATION

The reported adoption by the Farmers
Alliance of the Rochdale system of CO.
operation is an effort in the most legiti-
mate line OF that organizations existence.
But it will be wise for them to make sure
that they can repeat the Rochdale expert
ment in practice as successfully as they
can adopt it in theory. The history of the
Rochdale cooperation shows that it was
an enterprise which started on the hum
blest scale and worked its way to the
grandest proportions step by step. Its
progress was due mainly to strict adher-
ence to three OF four principles. The CO.
operators were either by the reduction of
expenses or by being made sharers in the
profits supplied with goods cheaper than
they could get them elsewhere; the bust
ness was under the close supervision OF
those interested; and finally all sales were
made for cash, doing away with the
margin to cover losses for bad debts. On
this plan the Rochdale cooperation
worked itself up by healthy growth from
an almost infinitesimal start
1t is easy to see that building up great
business step by step, in this way, is a very
different thing from bringing it into exist
ence like Minerva fully equipped and on
the largest scale from the inception.
Whether the Farmers Alliance can ac.
complish the latter feat the actual experi-
ment only can tell. The greatest difficulty
will be in securing the business manage.
ment which can conduct such an enter
prise honestly and intelligently on the vast
scale proposed. The cooperative organiz-
alton cannot, like the trusts, rely on arti..

THE SPEAKERSHIP RACE.

ROGER @. MILLS came clear from Texas to
help on the Democratic cause in, New Eng
land, and now the New England Democratic
representatives in Congress are inclined to
drop him as a candidate for Speaker. What
ingratitude!-BostonT Traveller.
THE st. Louis Republic says: "Mr. Mills
represents the common sense of the Demo-
cratic party" The party has not of late
years got much of that into its platforms.
The question won't turn on common sense''
but how much Tammany does Mills rep
resent?-Chicogo Inter- Ocean.
Mr.. MILLS has the lead, and runs the usual
risk of precedence. As yet, however, their
are no signs of successful combination
against him. Mr.. Crisp follows closest to
his heels among his competitors, but Mr..
Mills friends are confident and see no reason
for doubt of his Philadelphia Record.
WE do not see how the patriotic Demo-
cratic Congressman Of Massachusetts can
afford to compromise with Mr.. Mills for a
simple postponement of the silver issue. As
Mr.. Mills is supposed to have the Democratic
party by the tail, the Massachusetts, patriots
ought to compel him TO kill the issue at once
and forever:-Ahunta Constitution.
THE New York Times, the Boston Herald
and the Springfield Republican, three news
papers which are Mugwunlps because they
are free traders. have declared for Mr.. Mills
for Speaker. When we have heard from
Larry" Godkin, of the Evening Post that
the true interests of the Democracy require
the election of the free trade and income
tax crank to the post held by Kerr Randall
and Carlisle, the polls will be closed. All no.
there is the Providence Journal to hear from
-Nep York Sun.
In the Judgment of most Republicans. Mr.
Mills has inflrmities of temper which render
