DragamiroH's Downfall.

When there are no Indication,
of war it is easy to find signs o.
peace in events of no great sigEifi
canoe. The retirement of Genera
Dragomiroff by the Cz ,r is Z
case in point. Drsgomiroff Rus.
sia's most distinguished soldier.
No, elly throughout Russia, but
in military circles all over Europe
he is regarded as an oracle in all
matters pertaining to the art oi
war. In case of the European war
in which Russia should take
part it was generally expected that
Dragomirof would command the
armies of hie imperial master. Now
all these expectations are at an end
and great Russian general has
learned, as many greater men had
learned before him, that no soldier
or statesman is necessary to an en-
pire.
While it is not likely that Drag.
omirofs downfall is due to con-
siderations either of war or peace,
it does not follow that in case Of a
Russo German war he would not
receive the command from which
he is now apparently debarre ed.
The very qualities that caused his
retirement are those that especially
fit him for high military position
in times of action. He is man
whose earnestness and zeal some :
times made him harsh-when
these were checked he was too apt
to display hasty temper. Nat
urally the display OF these quail
tiles made him enemies both
in the army and at
court In giving cfence
to other men II high rank in the
empire it was inevitable that he
should annoy and in the end offend
the Gar. III This is now averred has
been the case and his downfall is
the result.
The incident is only interesting
on this side of the Atlantic as the
latest of many similar affairs in
Eu ope during the last few years.
The most noteworthy Of these, of
course, was the downfall of Prince
Bismarck. No man of his time
had given such valuable service to
his King, upon whom the states
man bestowed an empire as well
as the title of emperor. But Bis
marck found that the hereditary
authority of an emperor is stronger
even in Germany than that of the
great Minister by whom the em-
pire was created. Signor Crispi,
in Italy, also imagined himself in>
dispensible. only to discover his
mistake. In France, Boulanger
was one day the man on horseback.
the idol of the army and of the
multitude, to find himself the next
self exiled and to die beemircbed
and degraded on q suicides grave.
General Dragomirof now affords
the Russian example.-Phila.

then the Republican managers who

confronts you of tnrn ng over our
State government to men who fa-
vor the National Force bill with it's
attendent eviIs, and the vote Of
North Carolina might decide that
contest. Let me beseech you as
patriot, rebuke that spirit by
your vote, and let us stand tc-
gether and maintain invio.ate the
rights of the States which are es-
Genital to "that balance of power
on which the perfection and endur-
ance of our political faith depends.
That balance of power once SUBJ
verted any destroyed, we may bid
a long farewell to the Constitu-
tional Republic. We may expect
too, in its stead, to be governed by
orders from the headquarters of a
military chieftain, such as your
own eyes have seen in this South
land not very many years ago.

worst system of civil government to

ther say that, as evidenced by the
books, the financial condition OF
your property has very materially
improved in the last three years. At
the beginning of the present admin
istration three years ago there was a
floating debt of $56,115.9S. To day
there is a floating debt of about
$1,1OO, with a cash balance in the
Treasury of $43,48S51 and bills re-
ceivable amounting to $l2,149.61-
making net cash assets or its equiv
ulant of $54,528.13. We note also
that there has been extraordinary
expenditures during this period
(from the receipts of the road),
amounting to $57,1S8.27; said
amount was used for permanent i'm
proverlents,suc as new engines, new
passenger coaches, parlor car, steel
rails, new depot buildings, car sheds,
etc. We find also that there has
been an increase in taxes in the last
twelve months of $3,O94.O7.
Expenses have been reduced ma
terially, and your interest has been
carefully looked after, and we can
but congratulate you in haying a
wise and efficient management.
Officials, subordinates as we'll as
the head, have carefully, cautiously
and zealously managed your pro-
perty, and as result it is in better
financial Condition than it has been
for many years past.

Milk.

The care of the mich COW in summer is
apparently simple thlng-so simple that
some farmers appear to think the only
thing to do is turn her out on a pasture
and milk her twice day, but there are
one Or two things more that 1t will pay to
observe. Unless the pasture is ample it
will add to the profit to continue feeding
small ration OF grain. Some dairymen
even seem to find this advisable of full
summer grass, and the grass is not the
only thing that determines whether the
pasture is good or bad, there should be-
provisions fol- permanent supply Of good
pure, drinking water. When the COWS
are left to drink from small streams and
ponds they are apt to getstagnant water in
the summer, ana this will not only make
the milk impure, but will endangar the
hea tn of those who drink it, ana breed
disease In the cows as well. Another
thing that is often neglected wi h COWS
out at pasture is the regular supply of salt
In the summer this is more needed than
IN the winter as so much ucclent food
calls Tor greater portion IF salt than
dry fodder. Common salt, however, Is
one Of the constituents of milk and COWS
require it at all times If the salt is given
to them regularly, or is kept at all times
within their reach. they will never eat too
much, but if deprived of it for time and
then allow access to supply they may
take enough to iDjure them seriously.
