THE VALUE OF STATISTICS,

The South Carolina Legislature last
week refused to appropriatA9 900 for
the establishment of bui of sta
tistics. on the ground that It was u
useless expenditure and the entering
wedge to q much larger appropria-
ton"
The proposed bill was modelled
somewhat after chat under which
North Cardinals very efficient Bureau
of Labor Statistics is conducted, but
was promptly killed, after short dis
cussion. without so much as refer
ence to committee. The Charleston
News and Courier. commenting ON TINS
decision of the Legislature, that the
State could not afford to be economical
at the present time, and should tu!n-
bic along in any sort of way IN It's

public concern, including even the
making and administration of public

Legislature who knows even the num-
Der of his own constituents or the

or the birth-rate, or the sick-rate, or
the death-rate in his own township, or
town. There is not q member who
knows what is the present number OF
banks, or mills, or factories, or stores,
or farms, in the State, or whether
there are more or less of all or any
than there were last year or the year
before. No member has the least idea
of how many people are engaged IN
any bushes or occupation in the State,
or in his own neighborhood, and the
official head of the State is no better
informed. Nor is amy subordinate
officer, or any public or private citizen.
The means for obtaining the informa-

of the Senate as expressed by its action
on Friday is that we should continue
TO do the bushes of the State lin the

ourselves about such things. We
know as much about our condition as
our granthers and who could ask for

STILL STUCK IN THE SAND.
No Further Efforts Will Now be Made
to Float the St. Paul.

New York, Jan. est was said at
the office of the company to-day that
an attempt(will be made to float the
st. Paul until the tide and seas are
favorable.
The ship is resting easily, and Capt.
Merritt, of the wrecking company, still
says that she is in no present danger.
The sand has packed up against the
port side of the ship, as she has formed
a big breakwater, and it will probably
be necessary to drag her short dis
tance up the shore to get her from
behind this bank. There is a posi-
bility that deeper water will also be
found. The passengers booked TO sail
on the ST. Paul will all sail on the St.
Louis tomorrow.
The 81 100000 in gold which was
brought over the Atlantic by the St.
Paul was to-day transferred to a
lighter and reached this city this af-
ternoon. 1t was sent directly to safe
deposit vault.

WHO WILL SUCCEED Mr.. COwEN
Democrats and Republicans Both Hope
TO Elect Their Man.

Baltimore, Jan. 28.-Repubheans ana
Democrats of the Fourth Congress dis
trict are greatly exercised over the an
nouncement of John X. Cowen, the
newly elected president of the Baltl-
more and Ohio Railroad, that he will
shortly resign his seat in the House OF
CONSERVATIVES. The Fourth district
is the wealthiest and mast important
i'm the State. Governor Lowndes has
intimated that he does not see the ne
cessity of calling Il special election
when Mr.. Cowen resigns, but II rs more
than probable that he Will be per
suaded to do so. Some OF the most
prominent men in both parties are
named as candidates for the nomina-
ton. On the Republican side they are
William r. Malster. John V. l.. Find
Law. Robert II. Smith, who was Mr..
Governs opponent last fall; eX-Con-
gresham II. c. Stockbridge, State Sen
ator Frank StrObridge and Capt. j.

are Ex-Governor and eX-United States
Senator William Pinkney White, eX-
Judge Fisher, w. Cabel Bruce, presi-
dent of the State Senate, and ex-Con-
gresham Isador Rayner. On the Re
publican side the name of Mr.. Findlay
is received with particular favor, espe-
cially by the older heads in the party.
Mr. Findlay has represented the
Fourth district in Congress before, BUT
as a Democrat.

Cold waves" so-called compre-
hensiye phrase for which we are in
debted TO recent meteorological re-
search and investigation are waves
of heavy air, following the rarified
track of low barometer" and chang
ing the conditions from mild oppres-
siyeness to clear, cold skies and heavy
air full of life-giying proprieties, says
the New York Advertiser. These
waves" are as marked in their move
ments as vertiable sea waves, rolling
over the surface of the ocean. Exactly
where they originate is a mystery, but
it is altogether probable that their
starting point is somewhere on that
bleak plateau lying between Hudson 8
Bay and Boring Straits. When the
wave reaches the outposts of civil
zation in the Rocky Mountains, the
telegraph heraids the news over the
whole Of the United States, giving the
impression that the home of the biz
zard is in the mountainous regions OF
the northwestern States OF our own
country. When these waves reach the
great plains and the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi valleys, they spread out and
cover the whole country, striking the
Atlantic coast in streak, extending

MILLION OF LOSS
Caused by an Elevator Fire mt Chi
caEO.


CHICAGO, Oct 26-The Pacific ele-
vator at Hines street and the North
Branch of the Chicago river was burn
ed this afternoon. The elevator was on
tne Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway, and a large amount Of grain
was stored in it. The flames threat
cned the large mailing house of Hules
q CENTS adjoining and ten extra fire
engines were called.
P. D. Perry, the superintendent of
the Pacific Elevator company, said
that there were 100000 bushels of
wheat stored in elevators A and B.
He estimated the loss to be at least
$1,000, 600. Shortly after the fire broke
out the south wall of the elevator gave
way and thousands of bushels of wheat
fell into the river. Directly to the
west of the elevator are the yards of
the F. r. Crane Hardwood Lumber
company, and several times small
blazes were discovered among the piles
OF lumber, but, as fast as they were
discovered, they were extinguished.
The greatest danger experienced by
the firemen was the flying debris. The
burning buildings were covered with
corrugated iron, and large sections OF
this metal, heated to white heat. fell
as they were loosened from their fas-
Jennings by the fire. It was with the
greatest difficulty that the f1remen kept
lodging these.
The loss on the wheat in the eleva-
tors is appropriated at 1851, 900: on the
corn the loss will be about S34 800
Most of the grain was the property Of
the Pacific Elevator company. The
insurance is said to be about s75O.00O.
