The Philadelphia Times says: The
growth OF many of the textile industries
during 1892 was marked. The summary
of new mills for 1892 shows a total of
272, with combined list of employees
OF 800. In other words assuming
that none of the new textile mills were
erected to replace those destroyed by fire
or abandoned for other causes, 81, 500
new employees were set to work, and the
productive textile capacity Of the coun-
try was increased seven per cent. An
examination of the statistics showing the
textile growth of the year reveal some
interesting facts, the first of which is
that there were seventy-three new cotton
mills employing Is, 900 hands. The
new cotton mills do not number one
half the total of new mills erected, but
the mills were of greater capacity than
in any other branch of the textile trade,
thus absorbing one-half of the new la
bor employed. Massachusetts erected
nineteen new cotton mills, employing
5775 hands. The next greatest in
crease was in the South, North Carolina
building sixteen new mills, employing
1885 new hands, South Carolina eleven
new mills, with 2040 employees, Georgia
five new mills, with $40 hands, and Ala
bama four, with 740. New York and
Pennsylvania built three new mills each.
Connecticut two, and Illinois, Indiana,
Maine, New Hampshire, New jersey,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, YER
meat aud West Virginia each one.
rhere were forty mine new woolen an
ninety three new knitting mills erected,
the first employing $500 and the second
$500 new hands. Massachusetts leads
with eight, Maine follows with seven
and Pennsylvania third with six new
woolen mills. The South does not
figure much in the new wooden industry,
Kentucky with three aud Missouri with
two mills being the only Southern States
represented. OF the ninety-three new
knitting mills Pennsylvania furnishes
thirty-two, or more than one-third; New
York, twenty, and the rest distributed
among twenty-five other States. Silk
figures fourth in the list of new plants
to the extent of twenty-one new mills,
the majority of'which are in New York,
New jersey and Pennsylvania, with
Paterson, N. j., as the center of the in
! dustry, both old and new. In the mis-
cellaneous list are six new plush mills,
six making shoddy, seven cotton batting
three linen, three lace, two upholstery
and two gimp and dress trimming (al
four in Philadelphia), and scattering
list. including dye, bleaching, jute, bag
ging and few others. New England
Pennsylvania aud the South seem to bC
the most prosperous manufacturing sec
tions, if the erection Of new plants fol
manufactures can be accepted as an In
dex Of prosperity.

1t is related that a man who was writ
ing history of New York employed an
expert to fud out for him how many
spectators in Wall street succeeded in
the long rur. After a laborious inves-
tigation the expert reported that the
only single instance which he could dis
cover was a man from Rhode Island,
named Smith, who had actually won
$50, 900 in a speculation in the street
and carried the money away to sAecu-
late no more. 1t was the single bright
instance in long line Of wrecks, adds
the New Orleans Picayune, aud was
written down in the book TO hand the
name of Smith down to immortality.
Unluckily for his reputation, however,
hardly was the book published before
Smith turned up on the street and put
his $50, 900 into another speculation. He
never heard of it again, and the sole in
stance OF successful speculator was
Tuthlessly destroyed.

The timber used in the construction
Of the Chicago Exhibition buildings is
estimated to exceed 75,0O0,OOO feet,
which represents the wood from ten
square miles Of forest. All the buildings
are covered with composition of
plaster, cement and hemp, and the
amount of this work is equal to covering
the wall of four-story building fifteen
miles in length. The electric lighting
will require 5000 arc and SO, 600 incan-
descent lamps, which is about ten times
as much electric lighting as the Paris
Exhibition was provided with. The
electric lighting plant has cost over
$1,OOo,O 900.

1t occurred to the long-headed, pub
lic-spirited citizens of Pennsylvania that
the time had come to devise measures
for the preservation of the forests of that
State. Accordingly they procured the
introduction of bill in the Legislature
which provided for the appointment of
a forestry commission whose duty it shall
be "to examine and report on the con-
dition of the slopes aud submits of the
State aud the presence or absence of
forests thereon, for the purpose OF de-
termining the influence on the stage of
the water in the rivers, the amount Of
timber remaining standing and how the
supply can be increased ane maintained" 3"

The New York Sun figures that il si1
men were to start on successive days from
SIX American cities, and travel in a
straight line around the world to the
point of starting, the Chicago man would
probably claim to have made the quick
est time, while the Ohio man, IL there
was one, would be the first to arrive home;
but the distance travelled by all six, if
added together, would fall 10000 miles
short of the railroad mileage of the
United States, double tracks not counted.

the sundry civil, moreover, carries only

The minority next attack the averaging
of deficiencies adopted by the majority as
grossly misleading, for the reason that
there is such great variation that there
can be no average. The miscellaneous
appropriations arrived at by the majority
are also attacked. on the basis that the
statement of the Secretary of the Treasury
would seem that the amount either of a
surplus or deficiency in the Treasury on
June 30, 1894, would be very small. The
revenue from customs on basis of per-
centage of increase each year ought to be
larger than estimated by 81 100000, GER
tainly there is no justification whatever
for the majority's deficiency estimated at
the close of 1894 OF $50 600, 600 to $40, 100000.
The remarks of the majority relative to
the sinking fund are commented on as
follows: '.This credit could not be made
TO that fund from the current revenue
this year without increasing our taxation
sufficiently to retire S50,000,000 bonds per
annum. Do the majority of the commit
tee advocate any such scheme? Other
wise, why do they bring the matter into
the report, for they certainly know that
prior to July l, 1891. the requirements Of
this Act were anticipated by nearly
81. 900, 600, COOP"
In conclusion the minority says: "We
cannot escape the conclusion that the
majority of the committee have, whether
Intentionally or not, put the worst possi-
BILE phase upon the condition of the
treasury, overlooking important points
in the statement of the Secretary and ex-
perts examined in arriving at this un-
warrantable conclusion"

ATLANTA, March THE Atlanta Jour
nal comes out with explanations of the
policy ahead of the country. In lead
ing telegram from Washington, signed
by Hoke Smiths editor, Richardson,
there is a warning served upon the office
seeking brigade as follows: lone thing is
certain; appointments will not be speed
lily made. This is necessarily SO, because
of the great number of applications and
the clash OF Influences
This news is backed up by an editorial.
in which it is stated that ION the ques-
ton of civil service" Cleveland is even
more explicit than he has ever been be-
fore. His declaration that appointments
to office instead Of being rewards of per-
sonal activity, should go to those "whose
efficiency promises fair return of work
for the compensation paid them," is cited
as a fair warning to the pie Brigade"
that this is going to be business admin
istration and not huge partisan ma
chine.
Prominence is also given to the fact
that 1.-THE President has served distinct
and emphatic notice that he would ham
mer with his veto any free silver bill that
Congress might pass, and there will be a
crucial test of the Administration"
Having thus interpreted the Presiden-
tial mind upon the question of Office
seeking and the establishment of a gold
standard, the editorial declaration is
made that tariff reform would be indefi-
nitely postponed. The reasons therefor
arc stated as follows: There are serious
| impediments to the speedy realization OF
the full measure of tariff reform. The
| finances of the Government are in a pre-
carious condition to say the least. The
/ Harrison administration has had to avail
itself of funds always previously held as
reserved to enable it ''to make both ends
meet" or show favorable balance in its
| financial statements. Whether this was
/ legally and properly done or not, it was
done as measure of necessity The
/ question then arises, Are the revenues ot
the Government now sufficient TO meet
the expenses imposed by Republican ex-
travagance? This question must be set
tied before the precise measure OF tariff
reform that may be safely undertaken al
this time can be determined. Then there
| is complication arising from the several
reciprocity treaties already entered into
1t remains to be seen to what extent they
will reduce the revenue, and whether the
benefit to the people derived from them
is sufficient to justify the continuance Oh
the extension of the policy.

CARSON New, March Z. - The six
teenth session of the Nevada Legislature
adjourned last night 1t was silver
Legislature throughout the entire session,
and the lawmakers kept their promises
to the people. The Board of Equaliza-
ton, which had become very obnoxious
to the taxpayers, was knocked out, and
the Penitentiary still remains in
Ormsby County, although the Washoe
delegation did everything to effect a
change
The only incident of importance after
the adjournment was the loss of Senate
Bill No. II, providing for reduction of
State officers deputies salaries from 81 600
year TO 1900 year, the reduction to
commence January l, 1891. It appears
that the bill was never even enrolled, as
the Clerks disclaim any knowledge of it,
and the Governor states that the bill
never reached his office.
The State Controller says: 81 will
draw warrants on the State Treasury the
remainder of this year at the rate of
Sl66 Cog per month, and at the beginning
OF the following year for Sl33 33i. The
law passed both houses, as the journal
shows, and propose that the purpose OF
the law shall be carried out. 1t seems TO
be mystery all round, but as other cases
similar to this are on record where the
loss OF a bill would do no one particle
of good, 90 not feel justified in accusing
anyone of using chicanery in the matter.
1t may be taken into the courts, but I
think the journal will hold good. 1t is
proposed TO enter the bill on the statute
book, and certify that the original was
lost. The Governor can then sign the
certificate, and L am of the opinion that
| the measure will hold good"
