While conversing with a reporter of
the West Chester News few DAYS
ago the Rev. G. l.. jefferson of this
city said: "Our greatest curse is our
floating population. We have con.
tinually among us large proportion
of colored people who are there only
for time, who can secure work with
a great deal of ease, and who care for
nothing but to have good time when
their money is earned. | think that
much of the effect of this is neutralized
by the steadiness of others. who work
regularly at their trades. Wilmington
has a great many skilled workers who
are colored people. They are to be
found in all kinds Of work, especially
in the morocco factories, where we
have large numbers of intelligent work
men. In the stove and tinware shops
there are many others. In fact, they
are 10 be found in about all the trades,
for | believe it is probably easier for a
hoy to gain admission TO Il trade in
Wilmington than it is in Philadelphia,
certainly than in any city farther
north -

Commercial Retaliation.

It is to be hoped that tho president of the United States will never be forced to have recourse to the sweeping power the law made i'll 1890 gives him over the products of foreign nations import ing goods into this country. When Ger many discriminated against our pork few months ago, some zealous souls urged Mir Cleveland to make use of his extraordinary power at once, but he was wise enough not to do it. Again when Spain began to discriminate against American flour the president was urged to issue a proclamation which would have stirred up a great breeze, but again it was decided to let Spain have time to see the error of her ways.
 The power in question is contained i'll the congressional meat and food inspec- tion act passed by congress Aug. 30, 1890. The act reoites that whenever the president of the United States is satis- fed that any foreign government is making diseriminations unjustly against "any product of the United States, food or otherwise, in the matter of it's impor- tation with that country, then he may issue proclamation directing that the goods of such nation shall be excluded altogether from entry into the United States. This law is formidable enough to prevent any country of Europe from discriminating against our products. We could stand doing without their goods much better than they could stand not selling them to us.

THE .DEBTS OF NATIONS.

Notwithstanding the present pe- riod of gloom in commercial and other business circles, the following statement should be sufficient to base confidence upon. The public debt of the United States Govern ment, on January 1, 1895, $1, , 064, 241, : GOO, as against the public debts of the following European Nations: Austria, Hungaria, $2, 996, 339, 539; France, $4, 446, 794, 998; Great Britain, $3, $50, 119, 563; Germany Russia, etc, $2, 324, 826, 929; Russia, $3, 491 ,O18,O94
 The United States Government therefore, has not only the smallest debt, but is also the richest in re- sources. The debt of Canada per capita is $60. The English Austra- Han colonies of New Zealand and South Wales average 1850, per capita, while the United States debt, per capita, is only $15. It would appear from this showing that we are better off than are our neighbors across the "pond. Hot Springs NeaoS

R. Minor Wallace Coming.

On next Thursday evening that master of classic and fguratiye lan- guage, k. Minor Wallace, can again be heard at Merrill Institute.
 Some months ago Mr. Wallace de- livered his lecture on Educated Citi- zenship" in that building, and for fluency of speech, beauty oflanguage and mastery of words, a finer lecture has not been heard in that popular leeture-room. On "Prentiss and Grady" his subject this time, he even rivals those celebrated orators thenl- selves and their rare eloquence is ac- tually reproduced by this gifted young Arkansian.'
 The proceeds of the lecture go to the Riverside Methodist Church, of this city, and for this reason, if no other, he should be greeted by Il large house.

Minneapolis still has 6, 900 unemployed, but this is not near ly so many as she had year ago, while the number of out of works has greatly diminished in Milwaukee. The middle west seems to recuperate more rapidly than tho Atlantic states do. What with the labor strikes and idle factories, the lot of working people in eastern cities is not happy one this winter.

A Magnetic Cannon.

It is wonder that nobody heretofore has thought of making hugo magnet, as large, say. as a Cleopatra needle, and seeing whether it's force could net in some way be applied to industrial op- erations. The nearest approach to such magnet has been made by Colonel King of the United States army at Willett's point, which juts out from Long 1s- land into tho sound. Colonel King has magnetized q cannon IF feet long by wrapping it closely with insulated cop per wire and then passing electrical cur rents through tho wiro. It took more than ten miles of tho wire to wrap the cannon.
 The effect is very strange. By con- necting the huge magnet with another cannon alongside two electrical poles are produced The weight of the two oan- mons together is IS, 900 pounds When currents of electricity are made to pass through the copper wire wrapping, the magnetic needle is bent from it's course at distance of 200 feet away. Within 6 certain distance of the big gun heavy erowbar will be whirled up and drawn to the cannon as if it were thistle down. If man tries to hold the crowbar from moving toward tho magnet, it simply drags the man along too. The power is so strong that the magnet holds fast five cannon balls, each weighing 325 pounds. One sticks fast against the muzzle; the others cling fast one to another in 8 row, chainlike, and hang suspended. One curious fact concerning this big magnet is that its neutral point has been found. At that particular point pieoe of iron will not be held by it under any circumstances.

TO Make Plants Grow.

4 Frenchman-M. Ragonneau-says he has discovered how to make Yegeta- tion grow as much i'll 30 minutes as it ordinarily does ill 30 days He claims to have got the secret from tho yogis of India, who go from place to place giv- ing exhibitions and picking up few cents by making mango sprout and grow several feet in & few minutes. If the yogis of India have at last put some of their magic to a useful purpose for humanity, ono is glad to know it.
 The Frenehman says the secret agent that bursts the seed and heaves the sprout up through tho earth like Jonah's s gourd is formio acid It is secreted in large quantities from the body of the ant. Pour boiling water over q pile of ants, and tho resulting infusion will taste sour like vinegar It dissolves away the sheaths of seeds and makes them burst into greenness. The yogis say the earth they use is obtained from ant hills Earth moistened with q liq- uid containing one part of formie acid to 5000 parts of water will make the plants just hop, skip and jump. the Frenohman says. If the effect on plant is anything like tho effect on man when he gets few red ants up his trousers leg, one can we'll believe the story.
