Mr.. Baylus Cade. editor of the
Progressive Farmer. the State ALI
ance paper published at Raleigh, has
retired from it's editorial m~nage-
meat. Among the reasons given for
his retirement is the following one.
Hear him: :.
AFTER careful and patient study
Of the Sub-rressury bill. l am con
WINGED that its enactment into law
wOuld be disa strous to the country,
and especially 80 to the agricultural
interests Of the country, Holding
this view, cannot write one word in
favor OF that bilt.~ The dominant
sentiment in the Alliance upon this
measure is in irrecOncilable conflict
with nv views; and the only manly
and honorably course left open for
me is to retire. and let another editor
take charge Of the paper whose views
are in harmony with those Of the
friends OF the Sub Treasury bill"

Wilmington Messenger says A.:
South Carolina has been trying to
put down duelling and it has about
succeeded. Among other movements
on the side Of lire is an antipis:el
law. The law, however. is to be
fought in the courts: The original
package case decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court is relied upon by the
opposers of the laws. Congress has
the right, It'll argued, to regulate
Interstate commerce. The law TO
he fought requires license be fore
pistols and cartridges can he sold.
The Baltimore Sun states the case
fairly perhaps when it says that
every State has a right to protect
itself from moral and material injury,
bot it must be careful to adopt con-
stitutionai and intelligent : methods
ia doing So. The custom OF carry
ing pistols ard other weapons Ia
uuc,vilzed and productive OF seri-
Gus evils, but no State hiss the power
to di' tate to the country at large as
to their manufacture or sale"

For practical economy we advise
our esteemed contemporary the Econ

city instead Of relying too much
upon their talked of but poorly exc
cuted Electric lights. Had this been
done. and lighted match held near

prising sons, each would have Carried
for the benefit Of himself and neigh
bors. light such as ne dynamo can
furnish. But for the sake OF deiica-
cy Gan unknown quantity to them
they do not care to adopt this novel
idea We can furnish them with pine

when the venerable Editor Of the

Gain of the Urban Population as Noted in
Census Returns.
WAsHIN GToN, April 17.-The mum Der
of cities of the United States having a
population of more than 5000 increased
from six in 1890 to $50 in 1880, when it
leaped to 463 in 1890 In 1880 there was
but one city-New York-which had n
population in excess of 1000, 600. In
1890 there were three-New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago In 1870
thre were but fourteen cities each con-
tanning more than 100, 900 inhabitants.
In 1880 this number increased to twen-
ty and in 1890 to twenty-eight
The north Atlantic division contains
nearly one-half the urban population of
the country, while the north Atlantic
and north central divisions contain
nearly five-sixthS of it. In the north
Atlantic division sis per cent. or more
than One-half the entire population is
contained in cities of 10, 900 or more in
habitants. During the past ten years
the urban element in this district has
increased 43. 10 per cent, while the total
population has increased but 10. SIS per
cent In the north Atlantic division in
OiAC PehoO OCA y blO W
the urban element has nearly doubled,
while the total population has in
creased but 2S.7S per cent The num-
Der of cities has increased from ninety
five in 1880 to 152 in 1890 In the south
Atlantic and south central divisions the
proportion of urban population is COM
parStively small, being in the first
named but 1904 per cent. of the entire
population, or less than one-sixth, and
the second but 10. As per cent. the pro-
portion of urban to the total population
in all the southern states being less
than 13 per cent.
Considered as whole, the urban ele-
ment in the western division in 1890
constituted IA per cent. of the whole
population, while in 1880 it constituted
%. 81 per cent. 1t has, therefore, gained
somewhat more rapidly than the total
population.

Determination Against Canada.

MONTREAL, Que, April 18.-A special
from Capt. Bryan Hines, at st. Pierre
Miquelon, says that the Newfoundland
ers are supplying the French fishing
vessels with bait upon payment of IL
cense fees, and that Americans are sup
piled as freely as though they were
Newfoundlanders, but Canadians are
vigorously excluded from getting bait
nnder any circumstances. This is ter
ribly exasperating to Canadian fisher
men who shave been compelled to put
into St Pierre, French port, and buy
bait from the French at exorbitant
rates. The selling of bait to the Freach
is spite for Canada

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Crops in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, April 19.-The Tennessee
Weather Crop Bulletin for the week
ending Saturday, April 18th, issued by
the Meteorological Department of the
State Board of Health, cooperating
| with the United States Signal Service
is as follows:
During the week the temperature wa:
above the average; the percentage O
sunshins was about the average, per
baps slightly above. The rainfall wa:
very near the average with perhaps
slight deficiency in portions OF the MID
die Division.
The high temperature, plemellEeo
by the fair percentage of sunshine and
average rainfall, had very fine effect
on vegetation and the progress of farm
work of all kinds The work of plant
ing and preparing the soil was pushed
forward with vigor rarely noted be-
fore. This was necessary because OF
the lateness of the season, the unfavor-
able conditions of the weather for the
past month having retarded seriously
the work of plowing and planting. Dur
ing the week a large area in corn
was planted.
The March paintings have in many
places proved almost worthless, the
cold and wet condition of the soil pre-
venting the proper termination of the
seed, and many fields have been plowed
up and replanted. The failure of the
seed to germinate may also be ascribed
to the condition of the seed, as it will
be remembered that much of the crop
last year was affected by kind of blight
which destroyed the terminating prin-
ciple. The crop will necessarily be late
in maturing. An increased area will
be cultivated this season on account OF
the reduction of the area in oats, which
crop is now about all planted. The
early sowings are reported growing well.
Those who failed to SOW early we're
forced, on account of the lateness of the
season and the scarcity of the seed in
many sections, to reduce their usual
acreage, and this surplus land will be
devoted mostly to corn.
The condition of wheat was never
better at this period, and the prospects
now are excellent. There seems to be
no complaint of injury from the frost of
March. In few sections, notably in
the Eastern Division, the area is some
what reduced, but generally there is an
increase. Glover and the grasses are
reported growing luxuriantly. Tobacco
plants are reported looking we'll, though
late. Garden vegetables are making
satisfactory growth, and vegetation of
every kind is growing rapidly.
Preparations fer planting the cotton
crop are in favorable progress, and, with
good weather the coming week, a con-
siderable area will be planted. Fruit
prospects are fine. In the Eastern
Division there is complaint of injury to
peaches by the late frosts, but in other
parts of the State the prospects are good
for all kinds. The present outlook is
quite encouraging.

An Improvement I'm Business Noticed BY
the Commercial Agency.

the Commercial Agency.
New YORK, April 16-H G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
With better weather there is visible inn
provement in trade and collections, and
while it is but slight as yet, the outlook
for the future is generally regarded as
encouraging. Crop prospects continue
excellent, there is less monetary press
ure at points where some stringency
has existed and in the chief industries
some improvement in the demand APP
pears, while the volume of trade con-
tinues nearly as large in aggregate
value as it was a year ago, some de-
crease in quantities of important prod
ucts being balanced by an advance in
the level of prices, which was nearly Is
per cent higher than a year ago April
1, and is still more than 13 per cent.
higher The iron trade shows greater
shrinkage than any other.
Some improvement is seen at Cincin-
natl, especially in groceries, and also i'll
general trade in Detroit. The sales of
dry goods at Chicago fall little below
those of last year, and clothing is quiet
but shoes active, and collections in all
those trakes good. Receipts of lard and
butter show slight decrease, and of
dressed beef and cheese some increase,
with considerable gain in wool. At
Omaha, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Den
yer the trade is fairly good, prices of
lumber and horr improving. Business
is dull at Kansas City and Memphis, but
improved at New Orleans and Atlanta.
In the speculative markets there has
been a general advance in breadstuffs,
hogs and lard, decline in oil, and
no change in cotton and coffee. Large
export demand and reports cf scarcity
abroad have lifted wheat 214 cents &c
S1.194 with sales OF 46, 600, 900 bushels
here, and oats have risen 2 cents to
6119, and corn ~ cents on small sales.
The actual scarcity of corn and oats
makes an advance easy, but of wheat
the receipts at western points continue
larger than year ago, and the exports
until very lately have been much small
er. 1t is worthy that in all winter
wheat sections the prospect is excep-
tionally good and the acreage is largely
increased. Raw sugar has yielded a
shade this week, but all refined above
breadstuffs and vegetables unusually
higher, and wool about the same as a
year ago, cotton is much lower, drugs
and chemicals lower, iron and its prod.
ucts and the range of manufactured
products generally rather lower, not
withstanding the expansion of more than
800, 600, 900 in the circulation during tho
year.
The treasury has again paid out this
week more money than it has taken in.
The exports of merchandise are in-
creasing, and for two weeks at New
York exceed last years by IS per cent
Exports of cotton, breadstuffs, provi-
sions, cattle and petroleum from all
chief ports were in value $50, 400, 637
against $50, 766, 262 last year, indicating
no increase in the aggregate of exports,
while the heavy imports of sugar raised
the aggregate about So, 10000 at New
York alone above that of the same
month last year.

AN epidemic of poisoning cases oc-
Cured at Chattanooga last week, four
teen victims having been reported, but
none will probably prove fatal. The
cause was found to lie in cream puffs

some unexplained way became mixed
with the ingredients of the shells of the
puffs.
