Growing Vegetables Frostbitten-fcans
 and Early Potatoes Destroyed.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 7.-In an inter- view with prominent farmers and produce dealers in this and surrounding town ships, the following was obtained:
 "The frosts of last and the night previ- ous,n said produce merchant, "have, as was anticipated, injured crops wherever they were sufficiently advanced to feel the effects. Acres upon acres of early beans and potatoes were destroyed. It is feared that the early peaches have suffer- ed like fate. It is too early to tell whether the apple crop has been affected by the blight. Places further inland have suffered more heavily than those near the lake shore. A gentleman who came in from Portage said to me that his though apparently perfect without. He did not expect any peaches this year."

IT is said that the increase in the high price of beef may prove to be perma- nent. The immediate cause of the in crease is a scarcity of the supply, which in turn is due to the failure of last years corn crop in the west. The consequent feed famine has prevented the ranchmen from fattening their cattle for market in anything like the usual numbers, and the wholesale dealers have taken advan- tage of the opportunity to mark up prices to a point where they are higher than at any time during twenty years. This scarcity is, to a certain extent, temporary; but there are those who say that the meat supply can never again be as cheap and plentiful as it has been in the past. There is much to support the theory. The great cattle ranges are be- ing gradually encroached upon by the advance of the army of homesteaders, and the population of the west is in- creasing at a rate that rapidly diminish es its surplus of meat, as of other food products. Some day the export of beef to Europe may cease ,and the east be obliged to rely upon its own resources for its steaks and roasts. Then, of course, the price of meat will be higher than it is now, and the farmers of the east will again have, as they once had, a great and profitable industry of raising cattle for the city markets.

Rapidity of movement is apt to be &C., companiea by sacrifice of dignity, es- pecially if you happen to have vicious dog at your heels. It would be stretching a point to say't that our spring suits have any dignity because the term is not usually applied to inanimate objects, but if they have ne dignity of their own they at least impart dignity to the wearer who in return may be said to invest then with sort of personal animation. If there is anything in this life that is positively depressing, it is the unfortunate who is condemned to wear an unbecoming suit of clothes. He may tryto appear unconscious of the atteA- tion he attracts, but he is victim of in ward embarrassment, even though he gives no outward evidence of it. You will have no cause for embarrassment if you buy your clothing at our store, without stretching it particle. We can say that we show the snobbiest and best fitting line of Suits, Spring overooats and Pants to be found in this city.

THE evident Harrison stampede, which has set in among the big repub- licans, is exciting the curiosity of politi- cal observers. Even Quay, Clarkson and Dudley have announced their ale glance to Harrison, and their determi- nation to see him nominated. The only reason that we can see for it is that no other man wants the dubious honor of leaping the republican forlorn hope next year.

PRINCE RUSSELL B. HARRIsoN's illus. trated newspaper prints all the inside news nowadays.

Mr.. Aycock said that as this was a
most important question, he hoped
that full time would be granted to all
who desired to speak. Mr.. Turner,
chairman of the special committee on
the proposition, explained the propo-
sition and reviewed the legislation.
When chartered the ". 4 ". railroad
was absolutely exempt from taxation.
Now they are willing to pay certain
tax amounting to about $40, 600
year for ten years, and after
that about $50, 900. | came to the
conclusion to favor acceptance with great
reluctance, because all property should
be taxed equally But this is a business
proposition. The North Carolina Su-
preme Court and the United States Su
preme Court have decided that these eX
emptiOns must hOld-that it is contract
between the State and the road. Fol
twenty-five years We have thrown our
selves on our legal rights and got no re
dress whatever. In the original chartel
this road has ample power to construc
lranch lines anywhere. Under thu
thew can build a road from WeldoI
to the Virginia line. The limit of thel
capital stock is 50, 500, 600, bnt in add
ton to that under the act Of February
1867, they are allowed to subscribe So,
600 per mile to any branch road. Prio
to the Constitution Of 1868, no charte
could be amended or repealed. All th
authority to build roads and have eI
emption from taxation was passed bef0r
1868, and We cannot repeal them bt
cause Of the United Sta-es Cor s-l.utloI
We cannot tax the franchise, aud ou

valuable names in the field as candidates
for Railroad Commissioner, but there is
one man whom it would give me and
great many others pleasure to see elected
and who, [ do not suppose, has ever
given the matter thought
I refer to Capt. Dallas 7. Ward, of
Franklin county. he served the railroad
from boy and was faithful in all his
duties so that when he resigned his po-
sition, about two years ago, it was a
source of genuine regret TO the public
at large. His thorough acquaintance
with the requirements of tie Commits
sion and his fairness towards all would
make him very valuable. He is farmer,
too, and has the farmers interest at
heart. In the prime of life and full Of
