some STATISTICS.

T. c. Sherman. the great statistician
Of New York City has given out some
interesting figures on the distribution
of wealth. The $4,000. 600 people. he
divides for the sake of convenience
into three class of families. The fam
lilies of the rich. the families of the
middle class and the families of the
working class.
There are S95.S1O families of the
rich who own an aggregate of $49,-
900, 100000, or $1s6, 900 per family.
There are 1900, 600 families of the
middle class, who own an aggregate
of q; 800, 100000, or Sc, $50 per family.
There are II ,565. 900 families of the
working classes who own an aggregate
of S11, 1T5, 000,000 or 1868 per family.
Orto recapitulate almost $44, 600. 600
900 owned by the 235, 600 families of
the rich. while only $I8. 900. 600. 900 is
owned by the middle and working class
which embraces I2,765. 900 families
II is is not an estimate of a calamity
bowler but of an eminent republican
statistician. The American Economist
says that 5he number of people in the
United States who own their own
homes has in twenty-five years fallen
from tive-eights TO three Fights. Tho
Progress, of Boston, says that when
Egypt went down 2 per cent of her
people owned 81 per cent of her
wealth. When Persia went down l
per cent of her people owned all the
land When Rome went down | 800
men owned all the world. In the
United States in 1850 capitalists owned
374 per cent of the wealth. In 1891
capitalists ownd Is per cent of the
wealth. Farmers own % per cent of
the wealth and pay 80 per cent of the
taxes.

KANSAS WHEAT.

Monday Secretary Mohler of the
state board of agriculture issued the
following special report of the condi-
ton of wheat in Kansas: From re-
ports recently received at this office
from correspondents we learn that the
eastern portions of Kansas, about one
third of the state, has suffered from an
extended drought, rendering it i'm
possible in many counties to pillow or
prepare ground in other ways for
wheat-sowiug. In consequence the
area sown to wheat this fall is reported
at only 64.7 per cent of last years
area. Much of the wheat has failed
to terminate and all is in the poorest
condition Mt this season for many
years. The central belt is reported i'm
better condition and wheat-sowing has
progressed during all of October and a
part of November. The area of wheat
sown this fall compared with the area

FOXSKCA OUSTkn,
The Brazilian Dictator Forced to
Resign by ReVOIutIOnists.

Recent dispatches from Rio de
Janerio to London bring the intel
ligence that the opposition to Dictator
Fonseca has gathered sufficient force
to break through the barriers srses4d
by the government to hold H. in check
and to make itself master of the situa-
ton. No details have yet been re-
ceived rs to the methods adopted. All
that is known is that the uprising was
so formidable that Fonseca decided
that it was impossible to longer main
tain his ascendency aud surrendered
mis- authority.
In retiring or resigning, as he called
it, he declared that he did so in favor
of Floriano PeixOtto, the vice-pres-
dent or vice-chief of the provisional
government, of which Fonseca the
head. Whether the opposistion will
be content to allow Peixotto. about
whom little is known TO assume

will be permitted to act as chief ex-
ecutive, even temporarily, unless he is
in sympathy with the ideas aud princi-

Rio de Janerio is in a state Of great
excitement, but no. reports have como
as yet indicating. mob law or serious
disorder. The uprising, however had
the effect of putting a stop for the time
being to all kinds of business. The
exchanges are closed and every body is
so interested in watching political de-
velopments that no thought is given to-
commercial pursuits or business ele-
ments. The news that FOnseca had
resigned spread through the city like
wildfre. Everywhere it was received
with enthusiastic cheers and exclama-
tions of satisfaction.
The provinces have not yet been
| heard from, but il is believed from the
advices hitherto received in regard to
the growing opposition throughout the
country to Fonseca's supremacy that
| the news of his downfall will every
where be received with the same salts
faction as at the capital. The revolu-
ton at Kio dc Janeiro only broke out
Monday morning. ami its work was
quickly accomplished.

and eloquent words were spoken for

tongued orators. Senator. Stewart of
Nevada, aud Walcott of Colorado
spoke before the congress. The Am

to be sadly in the minority. The vote
taken showed $50 for free coinage end

BERMUDA GRASS.
penSeS.
B. Battle, p. 81. d.:

II. B. Bottle, p. 81. d.:
DEAR SIR:-Nany thanks for your
Bulletin No. 70, which I prize very
highly and look upon as the most valu-
able pamphlet on grasses I have ever
seen. Still discover some mistakes,
according to my experience.
Take for instance Bermuda grass,
which I look upon as of our best
grasses. Your Bulletin speaks very
highly of it as a pasture grass, but not
as being valuable for hay.
Now l was born, and am now living,
about four miles from the spot where
the Bermuda was first deposited in
North Carolina soil. When I was a
small boy, an old gentleman by the
name of Lenox, who owned what was
then called ""The Rockingham Springs"
which was a considerable resort years
ago for eastern North Carolinians in
b~adhealth; wentto Cuba for his health,
and on his return brought afew settings
in a box and planted it in his garden.
From this old gentleman my father
got some of it, and I have it on nv
place and would not exchange it for
any grass within my knowledge for
hay. It will grow, on a lot made rich,
three feet high and over, as I have
measured it, and make the softest and
most nutritious hay Of any grass I
have ever known, and horses and
other stock are fonder of it. Now it
depends greatly upon the name of
managing this grass, to prevent itfrom
becoming a great pest. It produces
very few seed in this section, and is
not apt to spread as other grasses,
which would be a considerable OBJ
lection if it were like other grasses,
conveyed by seed. It is cursed by
some persons on account of the diff
Guilty of cultivating land that is well
set with it. It is not so difficult to
manage if you don't use the turning
pillow. It will not grow deep in the
ground unless you put it there; runs
on top of the ground with small
sprangled roots, which are easily
pulled up if not pastured too much,
which should never be the s in a
lot intended for hay. 1 am feeding on
Bermuda hay now; my horses r in
good order and 1 wouldn't give 100.
pounds of my hay for 125 or $50 pounds
of this West Virginia or Pennsylvania
hay, that many of my neighbor farm
ers buy every year. Most of the hay
used in this section, brought by rail
roads, is suffered to seed for the pur-
pose of selling the seed. The man who
manages In that way gets pay for his
seed and also for his hay, but grass for
hay ought ever.to be suffered to seed.

tell Lucius the next time he gets out
into one of those old fields to paw up

melodies of the bulls of Bashan won't
begin to compare with our racket, for
we are all mad about it. But keep on
with your education and we yet hope
to swing around about right. l find

THE UNREST.
S. E. COLE.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-Thinking that you
would like to hear from our young
babe that is only a few months old.
We organized the Eureka Alliance at
Bogue, Carteret county, with only five
members, now it numbers thirty and
still they come.
The great political revolution that is
now agitating the country has enthused
them, and the American people are
bruising to pieces the peace of those
that are held responsible for this
great unrest. Much speculation is be-
ing made who will be the next ruler.
But the prophet has not been born to
tell our next executive chieftain. If
the political student will read the his
tory of the prophets of the Old Testa-
ment he will there find the overthrow
of cities and countries foretold. But
we have no prophets to foretell the
future political outlook, rs a result be-
fore the American people at this time.
1t was MegOsthenes, we believe, who
states that one of the Assyrian kings
told, on his death bed, that his empire
would be overthrown by the Modes
and Persians. Such were facts. Silver
is not SO rich as gold. The Mace
domains who v~anquished and succeeded
the Persians, yer inferior to them in
wealth. Brass falls below silver in
value, still the Macedonians used that
metal on their armor to such an extent
that they were called brazen soldiers
In all Europe. Let us not forget these
were all governments, and the human
family we're factors to them. A king
dom of brass was to rule over them.
This was also said of silver. The Medo-
/ PoTacInn HY0o1Rn MIN UI1l low hoE
this shall be a kingdom of gold to rule
over us? Would not the man be re-
membered with more extremity than
Periphery, while writing the book
against Daniel? This government was
handed down to us by the little band
of Alliance pilgrims from DELPHI Haven
under h~eartrendings, and the clears that
were shed On that memorable parting
have had the happiest influences on
the present generation. But still we
have prophets who say we are failures
and will remain so. It was Alexander
who headed the brazen soldiers to con-
quer the world. But where is an Alex
ander who will head the golden soldiers
to perish this country by oppression9
[ merely throw out these hints be-
cause they go along with civilization,
and have their influences, and will con-
tiuue until the gods of averice have
been sufficiently throttled In their I'M
holy purposes In shaping the legisla-
lures of this country for their benefit
alone. The Alliaace has been miscon-
strued by many as uncharitable in its
objects. But the prayers of all good
Alliancemen are for bountiful success
for all Christian enterprises In every
land and CLINE.
Respectfully,
r. w. HUMPHREY.
