Charles.ons trade for the season ending

for the business of that city. The trade and
commerce of the city amounted to sos, 554-
us, an increase over the business of the
previous year of nearly $4,000, 900. This
increase was nearly three times the average
annual increase. and justiies the most
enthusiastic predictions relative to the city's
future prosperity.
Charleston has very solid prosperity
Her growth in wealth aud population is not
rapid, but it is steady and sure. She has

1t is worthy of notice that Charleston is
becoming quite a manufacturing city. The
value of her manufactures for the last year,
exclusive of fertilizers, approached Sl2, 900,
900. The increase over the previous year
was something like $1,000 900. Such an in
crease indicates a condition Of affairs that
ought to be very gratifying to the citizens

Train Rohhera.

1t begins to look as if the express COM
panies and the government would have to
send an armed guard with every train in
which money packages are CARED. The
robbery of mail and express cars is beoom.
ing remarkably frequent. Every few days
an account of one appears in the papers. A

on the Central road between Atlanta and
Macon, and yesterday our dispatches con-
tanned an account of the robbery of an ex
press car on the Rio Grande railroad near
Cotopaxi. Col. The robbers secured So, 500.
These two robberies occurred within a
very few days of each other. But such
robberies are occurring all the time, and it
is seldom the robbers are caught. 1t is not
to DO wondered at that the robbers are 50
bold. AS general thing they run bu
little risk and the chance of getting large
sum of money is good.
And these bold rob5eries are not con-
fined to express and mail cars Banks ara
robbed in broad daylight Several banks
have been robbed recently. The robbers
enter a bank when most of the emplo les
are absent, and force those present, at ii,
point Of pistol, to hand over all the
money in sight. And sometimes they take
all there is in the safe.

A Perplexed Collector.

Mr.. Fassett has been collector of the port
of New York only few weeks. And he is
quite young man for SO responsible posi-
ton. 1t is understood that he was made
collector by Boss Platt, who purposes to
run the custom house as a political machine.
He couldn't use it as he wanted to while
Mr. Erhardt was collector and so he had Mr.
Erhardt removed.
But Mr. Fassett is bright man. He is
quite a friend OF Russell Harrison, the Presi-
dents hopeful son. The chief idea that Mr..
Russell Harrison has is that he is a man OF
much consequence because his father is
President, and he cannot be made to under
stand that the government is not run
for his especial benefit.
The other day he appeared at the custom
house and made request Of the collector
that perp!exed that official. 1t was nothing
less than that the revenue steamer GRAFT
should be placed at the disposal of himself,
his mother aud few friends to 90 down
the bay and take his wife, Mrs. Harrison,
and his sister. Mrs. Mckee, together with
their baggage, off the steamship Majestic,
which was expected to arrive from Europe
the following day.
The steamer Grant had never been used
for such a purpose. and, beside, never
except in two instances, had women
been transferred from European steamer
arriving ia the harbor. In one instance
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris was trans
ferred because her father, Gen. Grant, was
dying az Mount McGregor, ami IN the other
Miss Folsom was returning from Europe TO
become the bride of President Cleveland
The collector did not ike to refuse Rus
sell Harrison's request, and therefore be
said he would refer it TO the Secretary of
the Treasury. That official peremptorily
refused it, and when Russell Harrison heard
of the refusal from the collector he was a
very mad man. He couldn't understand
what benefit there was in being Presi-
dents son if he couldn't have the use of q
government vessel to aid his wife and sister
in avoiding the delays that attend the land
ing from European steamer in the usual
way.
But aside from the breaking Of the rules
to crafty the Presidents son, the Secretary
of the Treasury is altogether too shrewd
politician to do anything that would have
given the Presidents enemies the oppor-
tunity to make capital against him. The
President is seeking denomination, and
cannot afford to make mistakes that can
easily be- avoided even to crafty his son.
! The son, however, doesn't take anything
! into consideration except the qualification
| of his Immediate wishes
