HARRISON AND HALFORD
Bid Each Other Farewell - The Presi-
dents Last Day

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3.-The
last day Of the outgoing Executive Is
always busy and fatiguing one, and
President Harrison'S experience to-day
but served 20 emphasize the truth OF
this statement. At an earlier hour
than usual the President was at his
desk going over the bills ready for his
examination and approval. he was
subjected, however, TO constant inter-
ruptions until late hour in the after
noon, and that he was able to make any
progress at all in his work proved his
unusual powers of application. Before
the hour for opening the House to the
public, the President received a number
OF callers, chiefly Senators and Repre-
sentstves, who were interested in the
measures on his desk awaiting hissigna-
ture.
After the exchange Of calls with Mr..
Cleveland, as elsewhere recorded, and
his brief but touching leave-taking OF
his Cabinet, the President received the
M enibers of the diplomatic corps, who
called in body to say farewell. Nearly
every member OF the corps was present.
At three o'clock he bade adieu to
Major Halford, who then left the house
to take the train for New York. This
was quite trial to both of them.
Neither is much given to manifesting
any emotion, but they are possessed of
sentimental natures which were stirred
to their depths by the severance of rela-
tions which had existed many years and
which during the past four years has
been so intimate.
Major Halford is detailed for duty as
disbursing officer of the Bering Sea
Commission at Paris, and left Washing
ton this afternoon for New York,
whence he sails tomorrow morning on
the French line steamer Normandie for
Havre.

The Next Boom,
HIGGrSs ANSWERS \ QUESTION.

RIGGINS ANSWERS \ QUESTION.
"Riggins, what will be the next
boom?' We have been asked this
question great many times. Our
information justities the statement
that since the monied men of the
East and all over the country are
dis gusted and tired of investing in
railroads, in large Northern
factories, in banks and in bonds,
because of the unproductiveness and
instability Of such investments, they
will now turn their attention to
agricultural lands, and we believe
that one of the direct results Of the
money panic, " i'll be to induce men
of me ans 10 turn their attention to
farming lands. Already many of
the most ssgaeious business men Of
Waco are investing their money
and hunting bargains in lands, The
lands IN THIS country are priced at
nothing like their value. Sagacious
men are realizing this fact, and we
may look for a boom in the price Of
lands in the territory aoj .ceut to
Waco. Nor will any of these men
forget to furnish their homes from
kitchen to parlor during our great
clearing. out sale of Waco Trading
com pany?

How TO Cope with Crinoline.

Consciously OF uncopsciously the Boston
Herald has become possessed of the DE-
pArcH's idea that the threatened revival OF
the hoop-skrt may complicate the rapid
transit problem IN cities very seriously.
1t. too. looks hopefully TO the street-car
corporations TO discourage the fashion.
and suggests that tho companies should
charge crnoline-wearers double fares ana
that the men should combine for mutual
protection and resolve not TO surrender
their seats 20 women wearing hoop-skirts.
We must saw candidly 10 our esteemed
Boston contemporary that the latter pro-
position will not find favor in Richmond.
Besides. how are we poor, ignorant men TO
decide whether a woman is or IS not wear
ing hoops? How are we going 20 get the
evidence necessary to convict? Nor do we
think that the doutle-fare expedient VIII
avail II woman wants 10 wear hoop
skirts and thinks that they are becoming
TO her she will cheerfully pay an extra
fare-and then she will feel quite at liberty
10 occupy from two TO four seats.
Our Boston brother, with all Of his III
eenuity, has not hit upon the true plan Tor
downing" cunoline. We have It. The
hoops will be made Of steel, and the woman
who wears steel in an electric-rsilway car
NAV run the risk of being stunned or OF
losing her life. Dare the dear creatures
court the fearful consequences OF placing
their hoops steel boops-in proximity to
current Of electricity? We trow not.
SO the much-abused trolley Will become
mans friend and avenger. Boston ana
Richmond have such street-car lines a.
ready, and we advise all other cities 70
secure them forthwith.

osooo,,o.o,,ie,o and Commodities.

Monometallism and Commodities
In order to ascertain whether there IS or
is not merit in the contentious OF the oi-
metallists. il s only necessary to learn how
the prices Of commodities have been
affected by the laws which the monometal-
lists have imposed upon this and other
countries. IT, as the bimetalists aver, the
prices Of wheat, cotton. tobacco, &C., have
fallen ms the scarcity of gold has increased
and those articles are now really as hish
measured by silver dollars of 4l2'f grains
each. nine tenths fire, as they were
before the hostile legislation referred TO
took place. then the decline In the prices
Of them must be attributed to the rise IN
the price Of gold which has resulted from
n scarcity Of the yellow metal. IL Will re-
ouire no other argument to convert men 10
bimetallsm than the fact. if fact 1t be-.
that notwithstanding more than thousand
millions of dollars Of the national debt OF
the United States has been paid off slnce
1865. it would require more pounds OF cot
ton or tobacco to pay of the remainder OF
the debt now than it would have required
10 pay off the whole debt i'll 1865. The
low prices must be owing TO the scarcity
of gold and not to the abundance of the
commodities.
