The President’* Proper Title. In the first congress under the prep ent constitution, in 1789, the question of the titles of the president and vice president was muoh considered, and a joint committee of the senate and the house reported that it would not be proper to employ any titles but those “expressed in the constitution;" and f nth was the oonclnsion adopted, though not enaoted in a statute. A special committee of the senate, how over, anxious for something like mon archical gorgeonsness, proposed that the chief magistrate should be oalled "His Highness, the President of the united States and the Protector of their liberties,’’ bat the level headed republicans of that day would not see it. The appellations of “His Excel leney” and His Honor" were spoken of, but those who wished for distin guished titles did not hold them ade quate. The debates on the proposal were animated and the result was that the official tide and the etiqnettieal ad dress of the president have ever since been those of the constitution abae He is the president of the united states sod be is addressed simply as Mr. President That is the usage and the unwrit ten law to this day. No foreign min ster, no member of the president’s oab- i not, and no officer of the army or na vy would be allowed to employ any other form of speech. It is the frm of speech. It is the form of offioial, legal polite) ess. and the cu-tom of good -oriety; and every'hing beyond is snobbishness —[New jToik sun. The Latett Trust. The latest and rnos infamous trust which has been formed in this country for the purpose of swindling the peo pie out of their money is the cotton bagging trust, and the high lords of the bagging profession have begun to put on the thumb screws at once. There are hot few concerns in this country who manufacture baggiog, and as far as might goes they have things pretty much their own way. The synd oate within the past few days has raised the price of bagging from 7 to 11 cents, or nearly one hun dred per cent. Business men say it will go even higher, for being now up on the very eve of the crop, the farm et s are c< mpletely at the mercy of these combination thieves There can be no reason urged for this sudden increase in the price of bagging except the one which moves most moDopolis‘B and manufacturers and that is the greed to get rich at the expanse of the people. The cotton crop is almoit ready to lie ga hered and put npou the market. It in too late now to import the bag g ng from foreign countries and have it reach 'be United States in time to save the present crop. Tbie trust falls entirely upon the farmers of the South. The cotton of the country comes from the*South, and this sudden increase fal’s heavily upon a people poorly able to bear i\ It is more than polite to ray that this swindle is an outrage. It is noth* ing more nor less than high handed robbery. When any corporation, or individual, takes advantage of the ne cessities and helpless condition of the people to extort money from them it becomes theft, pure and simple. Some people wander why the farm ers are banding themselves together How ean they help it, whei upon ev ery band the capitalists of the country are gouging and plundering them ont of their hard earned money? This bagging trust is only one among many, but coming at the critical time it does, is ‘fleets are more keenly felt. Sugar, paper, coffee and other combinations were equal in fraud, hut none of them were forced at such a time, and none of them have been as open and high banded as this latest turn of the mo nopolistic screw. There can be no wonder, in the fsoe of these things that the farmers band themselves together to protect their rights, and demand, likewise, that the tariff which further aids these thieves in broadcloth, be amended or entirely repealed. The simple thing is that the trust mast be “downed," and the farmers are going to do it, if to use the lan guage of a distinguished general, “it takes all summer," or several sum mers.--[Greensboro Sun Pet Problems to the Ano ents Among the problems with which it pleased the anoients to perplex them selves was one which bears in an in structive manner on the dootriue of limits. It may be thus jda'ed; The swift footed Achiles started in pursuit of a tortoise which was 10,000 yards from him, Aohiles running 100 times faster than the toitoiee. now, when Achiles had traversed the 10,000 yards, the tortoise had traveled 100 yards; when Achiles had traveled these 100 yards the tor oite had traveled one yard; when Achiles had traversed this yard the tortoise was still 100th part of a yard in advance, when Aohiles had traversed this 100th part of a yard the tortoise was still the 10,000 th part of a yard in advance, and so on forever —the tortoise being at each stage in advance of Achiles by one hnndreth part of the distance Aohiles had traversed in the preceding stage. The tortoise then remains al ways in advance of Aohiles by some distance however minute; and there fore Achiles can never overtake the tortoise. But knowing Aehiles travel ed faster than the tortoise, will over take it. Therefore, Aohile> will and will not overtake the tortoise; which is absurd. The anoient were strangely fond of problems of this sort. Thus there was ths famous problem about the ass between two exactly equal bundles of hay, at exactly equal dis tance. “This ass,” says the sophist, ■‘will attempt to eat neither bundle; for, by whatever line of reasoning it could be shown that he would tnrn first to one bundle, by a line of reason precisely similar it may be shewn thst he would turn first to the other. But he cannot turn first to both; therefore, he will tnrn to neither/’ another of these problems was thus worded: “Epimenides, the Cretan, says that the Cretans are liars. Now Epimenides I is himself a Cretan, therefore Epiuten I ides is a liar. Therefore the Cretans Are not liars, therefore Epimeni tes is not a liar, theiefore the Cretans are liars, therefc re Epimenides is a liar. Therefore," etc., ad infinitum. Others stated the probltm in a more uimp’e form, thus: “when a man says 1 lie does hi lie or does he not lie? If he lies he speaks the tioth, if he speaks the troth be lies." The Manufacture of Ribbons. It is known that the manufacture of ribbons was fairly established in St. Etienne, France, in the eleventh cen tury, and that the place remains to this day the centre of industry. Dur ing the attacks of the Hugnenots in that country, many of the Bt. Etienne operatiyes went to Basle, Switzerland, and established the industry there, where it became second only to Etienne The third most important centre was Coventry, England, but Crefeld and Yienna are also large pro ducing centres. To-day there are man ufactured ia this country quite a* mary ribbons as are made in S’. E one. The pioduots of Switzerland consist mainly of plain styles, that of France largely of fine and fancy millinery goods, that of Crefeld mainly of black silk aQd black velvet ribbons, the lat ter a specialty, that of England largely of plain goods, while this country tries everything with much success, though dependent chiefly upon Europe for the lead in styles It is a curious fact that for 500 years ribbons were worn mostly by men lather than women, especially duiing the long period of effeminacy in the male attire. In the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries their uss in England was restricted to the royalty and gentry by statute. Iu the time ot Charles 11. and James 11. tbs whole attire was covered with ribbons. A fop in those days was described as “wearing more than would stock halt a dozen shops of twenty country ped dlers.’’ It is another oniious fact that in the manufacture of ribbons the self acting loom was in use 100 years be fore Cartwright’s invention, and that iu more reoent times little has been added in that branoh of the silk indue try —[London Times.
