she fell asleep. and the theft seeing his
opportunity walked in and secured the
watch, which WAS not missed until they
wanted to see what time it was.
Saturday night they broke into the
"Red Store" an upper Lemon street.
They used an old axe and a beam Of
wood to prize mp the window, and the
noise awoke Mr.. Taylor, TIM proprietor
Of the store, who got his revolver and
started down to see what his nocturnal
visitors were after. Just as he opened
the back door the thieves put out the
light and scrambled out OF the window,
when Mr. Taylor fired At them, shooting
hole through the window sash, but
missed the burglars. They left in such
hurry that Mr.. Tay Tor has the AK aud
they got nothing.
The same night burglars cut a
hole in the glass front Of Capt. j.

enough to admit their hands. They
reached through the hole and secured
two or three empty cigar boxes and
about u dozen cans Of frnits and vcpe-

around and seeing nothing, attributed
the noise to rats and went back to sleep.

the residences of Miss Gardner, Judge

piled the words ''impudent." "insolent"
and brutal" to Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Blaine writes: II was referring
to his Lordship's decla alton. that the
Irish might remain as they now are or
emigrate, and ! said interrogatively, "is
not this an impudent proposition; Is it
not insolent in its terms: Does it not.
indeed. stop short Of being brutal in it's
cruelty" II is parliamentary to say
that statement is not true, but alto.
gether supplementary to say that its

CoNaREss Is favorably impressed with
the idea Of having national celebration
Of the four hundredth anniversary OF the
discovery Of this continent in 1892. But
why should the United States celebrate
that occasionl II wasn't this country
that was discovered then, but Cat island
Columbus never saw any part OF the
country that now composes the United
states. An international celebration
Jointly participated in by all the nations
Of the Western continent, would be more
appropriate. of course the celebration
should be held in the United States, as II

CHEAP MONEY.

A iavorite tenet Of the Greenback doc
trlne was the abolition of interest. The
idea Is borrowed from communistic theo-
rles, based upon system where property
is held In common, and where, therefore,
there can be no inducement to exact in
terest, since no one would be the gamer.
Some of the labor organizations have
been captivated by the thought of money
without interest, and demand its aboli-
ton, forgetting that they could not Dor
row, with or without Interest, because
they cannot offer security, 1t Is worth
noting that there has been steady de-
crease OF the interest rate on our national
debt ever since the war, until now small
portion of it is carried at rate as low,
perhaps, as is possible for money to be
obtained at. And the vast accumulatlons
of capital make 1t probable that in no
other country will the rate of
interest be permanently lower than
in this. When Senator Sherman
was chairman OF the senate committee
on finance he rejected at first the idea
that the national debt could be refunded
at as low rate OF interest as Al per
cent and utterly repudiated the belief
that per cents could be sold at par. The
influence of his views resulted In 1870
/ and 1871 in the conversion OF most OF the
debt of the United States into bonds
bearing and "A per cent. When in 1879
large block of the debt approached ma
turity, and provision for refunding be-
came necessary, the Republican party,
led by the secretary OF the treasury, and
influenced by the bankers of New York,
defeated the policy Of the ways and
means committee OF the house to issue
bonds bearing s per cent. Interest, be-
cause It was held that the rate was too
low. Nevertheless, under executive or
ders, and without any direct provision
OF law, the matured debt was car
ried until 1882, when II was
provided for by bonds bearing only pen
cent. and redeemable at the option OF tbs
government, terms distinctly better than
s per cent. on bonds having a definite
time TO run. AS these bonds now bear .
good premium, Il is demonstrated that
national debt having long time to run
could be carried at less rate OF interest
than per cent--probably al "a per cent
such rate of interest few years age
would have been looked upon as some
thing not 70 be attempted at all. Now Il
could be obtained, II there was any par
Of the debt ready 10 be refunded. But I
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1886-08-04

does not seem possible that the rate can
go below this.
Because the United States can borrow
money at "a OF per cent. is not TO be
taken as evidence that an individual can.
1t is the safety Of the investment
that secures such favorable rates,
and not a desire to make
money out Of It. To realize an
income of even s25oo year at "a per
cent, one must have a capital Of $780,.
900, while the possessor Of $4,000 could
count on only $3.50 year at that rate
II, therefore, the owner Of that money
wants to make 1t productive he will moi
lend II az such rate OF interest. He
may, while looking for good invest
ment, put his capital In bonds because II
is safer there than ia bank; but he will
not let an individual have it, even on the
best security, at such interest The class
Of men who ask for the abolition of in
terest could not get any sum of money al
even 10 per cent not to speak Of less
and they have nothing to gain If theiI

HOIST BY THEIR oWy PRrARD.

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD,
Congress is now on the eve of adjourn
ment without having in any manner mod
flied the tariff law. A majority of the
members are candidates for reelection
among the Democrats. We will Judge
them by their lebors Did they vote for
a reduction OF the tariff
Most Of them can answer yes. But a
minority will have to say no Then when
the question follows, why have you be-
trayed the pledge of the Democratic
platform to revise the tariff? What will
they say?
Some will, perhaps, say that they were
not under subsection to the Democratic
platform, and thought that they knew
better what the country wanted. This
is very good answer for an Independent
to make, but 1t will not 1T the case OF a
Democrat, unless he is willing to adj
vance the principle that no party declara-
ton is binding on whoever chooses TO
disregard it. This opens the way for any
person TO refuse 70 be bound by the ac-
tion of convention; and those free
trade DEM Gratis who do not agree with
the protectionists are, upon that prin-
ciple, at liberty to oppose them, even
though they may have party nominations.
For very clearly, If one man may t up
his Judgment against the wisdom of the
party IN national convention, another may
set up his against the action of petty
congressional convention
protection Democrat has no place in
congress as a representative Of Demo
cratic district, Every one Of the so,called
Democrats who voted against the Morri-
son bill ought to be beaten when he offers
for reelection But the fight should be
made in the convention, and there is the
place to beat him If, however, by virtue
OF having possession of the party organi-
cation, he is able TO win a nomination.
the very excuse, the only excuse, that he
can give for his heretical vote on that
measure condemns him and releases
every free trader in the party from all
obligations to vote for him. He is con
victed upon his own plea, and it is lifting
that he should be beaten,

A NEW ERA.

The disposition manifested by South
ern colleges to arrange facilities for
technical education, leads the Inland
Architect to remark "The steady In
crease in the list Of educational institu-
tlons In the form of chronological and
manual training schools in the West and
South IS one of the best indications of
the progress these sections of the United
States are making in the mechanical arts
and sciences" 1t may be remarked In
this connection that, judging from the
various manifestations of industrial &C
tivity throughout the South, it has been
long time since 1865. The demand for
chronological instruction is indicative OF
new and most healthful spirit on the
psrt of the Southern youth.
