Senator Vance, of North Carolina, seems
to be willing to obey instructions from the
farmers alliance il it becomes necessary to
do so TO secure reelection. The president
of the farmers alliance of that state wrote
to him a few days ago as follows: "If the
legislature instructs you to advocate and
vote for the sub-treasury plan of financial
reform, will you carry out such instructions
in good faithp The senator, after studying
the situation, it is supposed, for a reason
able length of time, replied: II have to
say that | recognize the old democratic
doctrine of the right of the people to in
struct their representatives to the fullest
extent to which it has ever been carried Ia
North Carolina. / hold that the will Of the
people, clearly and unequivocally expressed,
must be obeyed unless compliance would
involve the representative in a moral
wrong, in which case it would be his duty to
resign and give place to representative
who would obey. Good faith In the OBJ
servance Of instructions and public pledges
is absolutely essential to n government
based on the popular Will" VIII the voice
of Senator Vance be heard for the sub
treasury planl 1t looks now very much as
if it would, and he will be careful, prob
ably, not to tell funny stories in any speech
ne may make in support of that plan.

It seems that the immediate cause OF the
failure of Bateman & Co. was their con-
nection with the Atlantic and Danville
railroad, of which Mr.. Bateman is treasurer
and director and Mr.. Coon assistant treas
urer. TIE road extends from Portsmouth,
Va, to Danville, Va, distance of POS
miles. The road, however, from the state
ments which have been published of its
financial condition, seems to have been do
ing pretty fair business. But it is not yet
completed, and difficulty in disposing of
its bonds during stringent money market
may have had something to do with bring
ing about Bateman g. Co.'s financial en-
barrassment.

Postmaster General Wanamaker thinks
that the President may have something to
say about the attack which the civil service
commissioners have made upon him. Some
think that the attack will have the effect of
increasing the Postmaster Generals popu-
larity. If it does he will be happy. 1t is
believed that he is anxious for further po-
litical preferment, and, therefore. welcomes
attacks that call attention TO him but do
not injure him in the estimation of his

IL seems that there are many divisions
of the Salvation army. But it is all under
one commander, Gen. Booth, who governs
it despotically. If he didn't govern it that

the hold it has upon the people of England
if there were not profound dissatisfaction

A popular Universalist preacher, Rev. A.
c. White, of Amesbury, Mass, has ere ated
something of sensation in that puritanical
little town by impersonating "Miles STAN
dish" IN comic opera, Priscilla" The
performance was by amateurs, aud Mr..
White won great applause. Very many of
the people of the town, however, condemn
him for appearing on the stage He has
therefore resigned, and proposes to spend
the winter at Tampa, Fla, where he has an
orange grove. He brought the stage and
the pulpit too close together to suit some of
his fellow citizens. 1t is thought that
owing to his success as an actor and singer
he may desert the pulpit for the stage.

The Inst Delivery.
ler-er-nccgktic.

The last delivery of this holiday-time
means a great deal 10 great many
people, and in very different ways.
There are provident people who begin
before the autumn Is fully spent to pro-
vide themselves with all they need for
the holidays, whether in the way of
treats 10 themselves personally, or with
those things which are 10 be produced
for others on Christmas morning as
though Santa Claus had just brought
them down n convenient chimney. But
such provident persons are by no means
the rule, and the shop-lSeepcrs are
doubtless sorry that they should be so
few, for il would be much more comfort
able for all concerned IL tie business
Of the last week before Christmas could
be distributed over the four or five
weeks before. AS IL is, almost too much
is crowded into the last few days, and
how the patient statesmen and women
stand the strain TO which they are sub
ject ut this time and still preserve their
courtesy and good nature is almost i'm
comprehensive. IL must be that the
spirit of the season upholds them, aud
IL is pleasant 10 think that this is so,
for IL must be known TO any one
who has walked through the
great bazaars ut Christmas time
that no amount of training could
so discipline frail human nature as to
make il, without other aid, proof
against the assaults which the men and
women behind the counters have TO
meet with n smiling front hour after
hour and day after day as the time for
Christmas shopping draws to an end.
70 these hard-worlked people the last
delivery means very much. IL means
lighter work and Shorter hours. To
others, alas! IL means no work at all,
for many persons are employed just for
the rush which eliminates with Christ
mas, and the last delivery takes from
them their temporary occupation.

THE END OF 1901.
We Can Now Looh Back at Our successe
And Failures.

To the young the years speed not fast
enough; 20 the old they are too short.
The young employ the closing of one
year in ambitious planning for the next,
the aged muse over the events of the
past and contemplate the mysteries of
the future. In the lives of some the
year has proved n memorable one,
while in those OF others IL is suggestive
OF no special events. The hopes of one
have reached fruition, the aspiration of
another have fallen short of success,
and thus the last day of December
brings alike pleasant and sad memories.
Whatever the year of 1891 has brought
10 MS, there is valuable lesson TO be
learned. II any undertaking upon
which we entered has proved unsuccess-
full, we can now, on looking back over
the ground, see more clearly the cause
OF our failure. No lesson is so forcibly
learned as that born OF experience. A
past failure ofttimes points TO future
success, II we but profit by the lesson.
No year Is wasted which brings 20 us q
clear realization OF our individual worth
and It's best employment The expert.

avoid In the sea OF life. IL our bark has
just ground over rocky reefs with
but slight injury, let us feel
thankful that we were not entirely
wrecked. To be successful, the truth
has been taught that the best success
is that which Is born with modesty
and n humble exterior. IL is "A poor
success that brings with it an outward
self-consciousness of our talents or
gifts. The most admired and beloved
men and women are those who combine
prosperity with modesty. And thus to
all the year can be fruitful Of good re-
suits, IL we but extract from our in

The troops ut Whipple barracks were
paid off the other day. Among them
was company of Apache Indians.
Whites and Indians appear TO have
drunk together. The inevitable result
was fighting with more or less serious
consequences of broken legs and heads
and torn ears and demoralized noses
and lacerated checks and damaged
eyes. A good share of the Apache com
pany are in the guard-hous. and still
more are in the hospital. In ease Of an
emergency demanding the calling out
of the troops on the frontier that com
pany would be considerably short of its
full strength.
The Whipple barracks episode, or
rather eruption, forcibly teaches the
necessity of enforced temperance in an
army composed in any considerable
part of Indian soldiers But there can
be no discrimination. The Indians
will not submit TO that. The aborigin-
al pride Of the aboriginal soldier would
flare up n second against any re-
strictions put upon him to which his
pale-face associate was not also sub
jectcd. Hence the introduction of In

Mai. James Morrison, of Mt. Sterling.
Ala, was wounded at the first battle OF
Bull Run. and has since suffered from
periodical breaking out OF his wound,
which was i'm the calf Of the leg.
Several attempts TO find the ball have
proved unsuccessful. A short time ago

removing the irritating body, when IL
was found not TO be a bullet, but a
small gold button. This was cleaned and
found 20 be inscribed with the legend
"E. To X. Mizpah," in small German
lettering. The button Is perfectly
round and about the size of buck
shot, having small link attached, by
which IL was caught to n garment or
watch-chain, on which IL was probably
worn as charm. In all likelihood IL
was crammed into the owners musket

emergency. The major prizes the
