OpuIent Dye POTS of the Angels.

When Benjamin Bum of North Caro-
ina came to congress to represent por-
ton Of the people of that state, says the
Springfield Republican, he brought his
oratory with him, and when speeches i'm

state We're in order one day last week
he turned some of it loose. Here is a
sample:
Yes; he has left behind radiant
stream of enulgent glory. Like the bril-
liant sun which sinks behind the distant
hill-tops, and leaves behind a golden
stream Of gorgeous splendors making the
whole western horizon seem as II the
most opulent dye pots in the studio OF the
angels had been upset and had leaked
through upon the clouds. thus givins
them the untingS of celestial glories. so
his sun of existence has sunk behind the
hill-tops of death and left behind a stream
OF memories that viii never fade from the

their brilliancy in the shadows Of deaths

with comparatively small outlay Of

lands Of the county were cleared and
put under cultivation the prosperity Of
the city would be advanced greatly.

OF the county under cultivation. The
tax digest shows that taxes are paid ON
but small number Of cattle and hogs.
and yet thousands of dollars are re-
quired TO keep them out of the fields OF
the farms; and because Of them tens Of
thousands OF acres Of fertile land remain

The country around Norfolk is all plant

The "Mahone lot scheme, mention of
which has so frequently been made in the
Washington dispatches of late is not a
new thing. Some congressman have been
trying to get congress to pay Gen. VIII
liam Malone of Virginia S25OOO0 for a lot
in Washington on which to build a govern
ment printing office. The amount is a
great deal more than the lot is worth.
but inasmuch as Malone is rather 'fn the
hole" financially his republican friends
are trying to give him lift There may
be. furthermore, another and probably
more potent consideration influencing
many Of the congressman. It is said Ma
hone owes certain of them the sum of
$50 GOO. If the lot could be sold to the gov
eminent for d big sum, the crediting con-
gressmen would be able to collect their
money. There are more things in con
sress than Mr.. Horatio ever dreamed

s CoIossnI Enterprisc.

A mammoth and unique enterprise is
about TO be inaugWated in New York city.
A syndicate of New York and Chicago
capitalists have bought, at cost Of sew
eral millions of dollars an entire block,
extending from Sixth to Fifth avenue.
upon which they purpose building a CO.
lossal structure in which to carry on one
of the most comprehensive business ven
lures in ne world. The corporation viii
undertake to cater to very nearly all of
the wants Of mankind. supplying the nee
essaries and the luxuries of life at such
tempting prices as only great capital can
afford TO put upon goods The establish
ment viii handle almost anything that
may be called for, from coal to dainty
laces. 1t will sell milk, groceries. dry
goods, harness, carriages. shoes, furnt-
glass and the dozens of other lines OF
commodities usually found in stores de-
voted to one or two lines.
The venture may be called the legitimate
development of the department store"
idea, which has grown to such great pro-
last twelve or fifteen years. There are
already in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Chicago mammoth mercantile
establishments, in which almost every
want may be supplied The success of
these great establishments is marked.
Having control of ample capital, they
can sell goods at lower prices than tho
small tradesman. They make their per-
centage small, and gather a great harvest
in total profits
The New York enterprise under dis
cussion, however, win so beyond any
Of the great department stores in exist
euce in the magnitude of it's establish
ment. and in the further fact that it will
operate a bank and, in a sense, a stock
exchange, in connection with its other de-
partments. 1t will be stock company.
and viii not only sell the goods on its
shelves, but win offer its stock, in .ts
own exchange, to those who may care to
become investors. And it win provide
safe-deposit boxes for its patrons.
The smaller tradesman of the city. quite
naturally, are exercised with regard to
the establishment OF so powerful a COM
petitor. With an enormous capital to OPP
crate with, the new concern win be able
to buy closer than small buyer can, and
it will also be able to take smaller profits
than a small dealer can afford to accept.
BY way Of Illustrating the feeling of the
smaller tradesmen toward similar enter
prises, it is recalled that when Nathan
Straus, the principal owner OF a great de-
partment store. was a candidate for mayor
of New York last fall, $50 small grocers
banded together to oppose his candida
cy, because his great store contains a
grocery department. The tradesmen who
sell liquors by the bottle also combined 10
oppose him, because there is a wine de-
partment in his store. Mr.. Straus' great
capital enables him to sell cheaper than
these smaller dealers.
