Eight hundred dollars a share has been
offered at New York this week for 500
shares of Standard OH companY's stock,
to be delivered Jan. /. John D. Rookie
feller, the head of the company, holds
3S3, 900 shares, so that his holdings, on
the basis of the sale recorded, amount to
$286, 100000. Mr.. Rockefeller's fortune
has increased over s94, 900, 900 in the last
year through the immense advance in
Standard OIL company stock. Mr.. Rookie
feller's income is estimated at $4,000, 900
year. Andrew Carnegie was probably
correct when he stated recently that Rookie.
feller was the richest man in the world,
but Mr.. Carnegie is not suffering from cold
feet. His own holdings in the Carnegie
Steel company are listed at a value Of over
$95, 10000 The affairs of the Carnegie
company have come under scrutiny again
through the ousting of A. NJ. Moreland,
the S6 year old secretary, who entered the
Carnegie service as telegraph operator at
$S5 q month, and in 1b years climbed into
the millIonAire's class. Young Moreland
threatens 70 establish new company.

The legislature has adjourned for good
the good of the state. Its errors we're
those Of omission, rather than commission.
OF the four constitutional amendments,
three were brushed aside and the one of
least Importance, relating to the power to
fill vacancy in the Office of senator or rep
resentative, was acted upon favorably.
Not a single constructive measure of i'm
portance was enacted, although several
came before the legislature for considera-
tion. The talk of retrenchment in state
expenses proved to be largely a blast
through the megaphone. The approprla-
tions provide for an expenditure of $780,
900, but provision was made for only
81, $50, 900, so that a big deficiency bill
will be saddled on the next legislature.
The good which will be said of the late
lamented legislature will be said negative
ly. Aside from being an expensive luxu-
ry it did little harm. In the main it left
the old laws as they were, and few of its
will arise as compromising
and embarrassing apparitions in the fu-
ture.

The rebuke which the legislature ad-
minlstered to Gov. Stickney in passing a
bill over his veto seems deserved. The
claimants against the Central Vermont
railway company on account of the eleva-
tor fire at Ogdensburg ten years ago wished
an opportunity to test their claims in court.
There seems to be no question that the
loss which the claimants sustained by the
fire was liability which ought to have
been paid them. The governor said the
bill was unconstitutional. The claimants
simply desired to get their case before the
court. 1t would seem that the court ought
to decide the question of constitutlonality
of the law, and not the legislature nor the
governor.

Our government is confronted with the
problem of a special Philippine coinage
With the development Of the islands the
existing volume of money in circulation is
proving inadequate to the peoples needs
The Spanish government coined a dollar
especially for the Philippines, England has
a similar coin for Oriental use, but the
Mexican dollar is the general favorite in
the islands. Our soldiers are handicapped
in their financial transactions, because
there is no gold in the islands, and the
American silver dollar is intrinsically no
better than the local silver dollars, which
have purchasing power of only so or 90
cents.

Gov. Stickney is being lambasted for
giving the icy hand to the young men.
The st. Johnsbury Caledonian strikes at
the solar plexus in discussing the throwing
down of Alfred Z. Watson of Hartford,
whose work on the board of railroad COM
missioners merited reappointment. Mr..
Watson became familiar with the work of
the board as its clerk, and his appointment
as one of its members by Gov. Smith was
in the line of civil service advancement.
This is the Caledonian's final blow: Gov.
Stickney was heralded four years ago as
the young mans candidate, but up to date
the young men have had no recognition
from his hands. The young men were in
suited when Jack Mimms was made chief
OF the governors staff and once more the
governor has turned deaf ear to their re-
quest and left off from the board one of
the best men for the position in Vermont.

Secretary Gage estimated that the deficit
for the year ending June 80, 1901, would
be about $1S,00O,000; the present indica-
tions are that there will be a surplus of
about S35, 100000. This increase of rev.
enue has come chiefly from the war taxes
laid in 1893. 1t is understood that the
ways and means committee is at work on
plans to reduce the taxes $40, 200, 600 to
10000, 900 year. 1t is expected that the
changes will be made on proprietary taxes,
kilograms and express receipts, partial re-
peal of legacy taxes, most of the documen-
tary taxes and some special taxes.

1t is stated on good authority that the
President will insert In his message a gen.
eral recommendation for such an amend
ment of the currency law of last March as
will place the gold standard beyond sue
cessful assault. 1t is claimed that this can
be done by making all forms of money in
terchangeable, as was suggested to Con-
gress last winter. This would require
that silver dollars as well as greenbacks
and treasury notes shall be interchangeable
with gold at the option of the holder.

For several years past southern
newspapers have reiterated the war
cry, Bring the cotton mills To the
cotton flelds!' The people of South
Carolina have done more than to
shout the war -cry-they have ac-
eOmplished the marvel, and are now
reaping the benefits Of their enter
Prise.
During the year ending August 81,
1899, South Carolina manufactured
nearly $4,000 bales of cotton, or g..
900 more than during the previous
wear, and I72 600 more than Georgia,
although Georgia was the II 81 south
srn state to engage in the industry.
The consumption Ot cotton in South
Carolina las: year was 43.9 per cent
OF its crop. and the rapid increase in
the number Of mills and spindles
promises to effect the consumption
OF the states entire crop in a few
wears more. In September, 1893,
there were under construction in the
South mills with q capacity Of S23.-
90 spindles, which will increase
southern annual consumption about
l6OO, 900 bales, or to a total Of some
thing like 5000 900 bales, or more
than two-thirds Of the crop Of 1899.
The estimated crop Of South Caro-
lima for 1900 is 72O,OOO bales, of which
the mills, existing and prOject' d,
will consume 625, 600 to $50 600 bales,
or about a per cent Of the crop.
The foregoing facts and figures
are cOllated from an excellent arti-
Gle in the New York Times b. f. G.
Dunnell, who also in the same arti-
Gle gives some very interest
ing information concerning the
history Of South Carolina's cotton
manufacturing industry, attrfbutIng
the progress Of its recent develop
ment largely to the efforts Of Mr.. w.
r. =. Whsley "a nephew of Rev.
Percival n. Whaley OF Christ
church, Pensacola, OF whom he
says:
lie possesses the faculty OF inspiring capt.
tai with some OF his own lack OF timidiJy.
He nrst In 1895, directed the construction
OF the Richland, q steam mill, begun TO be
built with q capital OF Sl5oOOO, ana finished
with $4,000 capital. Mr.. Whaley
started out TO demOnstrate to wOuld-b0 cot
ton manufacturers that cotton could be
economically manufactured with steam
power. This, IN 3 community that had
cherished the idea that it must rely upon
the power 10 be derived from the OOngaret
river. needed confirmation. The Richland
steam mill proved the correctness OF the
claim.
The practical conclusions from the
facts and history Of cotton manufac-
ture in South Carolina, as applied to
local conditions. are, that that indus
trv presents extraordinary advan-
tages 20 capital seeking investment:
that water power is not essential Il
the profitable establishment OF tht
industry, for il can be economically
and successfully conducted by means
Of steam power; that no more prom
Using prospect Of securing the bene'
fits of profitable manufacturing in
dustries exists than those presented
nv cotton manufacture; that the sub
iect is we'll worth the careful study
Of those able to engage in it, and
that Pensacola badly needs a pro-
motor like Mr.. Whaley, to furnish
the benefit of investigation aud eN
perience to those who hesitate L
