W~AsHIsoToN. Dec. 2e.-rhe division
Of vital statistics of the census office has
prepared a bulletin containing a summary
of the results of the special inquiry con.
corning the Jews in this country. The
inqdirY resulted in the return of 10, 6
completed family schedules. embracing
60.630 living persons on the 3lst day Of
December. 1889. and in these families
there have been ., las marriages. 6.03s
Jirths and 2.052 deaths during the five
years ending with hat date. The social
condition OF the families Is. indicated. to
aome extent. by the number of servants
kept by them. and as about t%wo-thlrds
are reported as keeping one or more
servants the families reported may be said
10 be IN easy circumstances The averaRe
number of persons 70 each family Dec. 81
1889 was ST.. and the average annual
number for the five years covered BY the
statistics was SAT. The average apnual
number of marriages per 1000 of the
total population was much lower than the
roneral rate, being but IA. aud the
average age at marriage was greater than
tmong the general population. The low
marriage rate and the increased average
age at marriage are the principal reasons
tor the low birth rate. The deaths re-
ported for the Eve years glve an average
annual death rate of III per | 900 of the
population, being about half Of the
average rate Tor the general population
Contrasting the birth and death rates with
those of native born parents indicates
that The birth rate is decreasing and the
death rate increasing with prolonged resi-
dence in this country, but the general
results indicate that the jews here re-
tain many of the peculiarities which have
been noted among them in Europe.

Those "Yalier" Shoes.
lFron, the Statesuille Landmark

lFron, the iStatesuHe Landmark
1t is reported in Washington City
that Deacon Polk, the editor of the
Progressive Farmer, is humbug, and
the Winston Sentinel, a responsible
paper, stated last week that Mr.. J. L.
Ramsey, the deacon's associate editor,
wears these "yaller" dude shoes. The
Progressive Farmer has 10000 SUBJ
scribers and Deacon Polk has a So, 900
Office and the world in sling, so a
little ''camp rumor" about his being a
humbug need not concern him. But
the report about Mr.. Ramsey and the
shoes is clearly actionable, and he
should take immediate steps to vim
dictate himself. The Landmark raised
him and feels responsible for him. No
red headed Iredell man who is in the
peace of God and the State can afford
to wear yaller shoes; they are "agin"
his raising and don't match his COM
plexion; and Mr.. Ramsey owes it to
his county to make an example OF the
author of this libelous publication.

POLITICS IN THE STATE.

e. w. Pou, Jr., the Democratic
candidate for Solicitor in the Fourth
Jadicial District, is most estimable
young man, possessing all the quail
ties requisite for the occupant of so
responsible position. He is exceed
ingly popular in his own county, and
adds to lis popularity with every &C
quaintance which he makes.-Har-
nett Courier.
Salisbury Watchman: It is now
reported that r. F. Crooks, who got
left for State Senator at the Demo
cratic primaries, will run as an indie
pendent for the Senate 1t is further
more reported that Crooks has been
and is now, full blooded Republican.
He is an agitator in the Farmers
Alliance, and would like to use the
farmers as cats paws TO rake Senate
rial honors out of the fire for him
self.
AT Asheville, last week, Capt. S.
B. Alexander thus talked to Citi-
zen reporter: "The Alliance as body
will not oppose the election of Sena-
tor Vance, and | am certain he will
be returned. Some farmers will of
course work against him, but the ma.
iority will support him as of old.
"The fact is" he continued, "the far
mers themselves are not solidly for the
sub-treasury bill itself although they
are unit in the support of the prin-
ciples included in it, and we believe
Vance will do just what is right"

DR.. GRISSOM'S INTERVIEW.

Elsewhere we publish, simply as a
matter of news, DIR. Grissom's state
ments to reporter of the Denver
Republican.
When the Doctor left North Caro-
lima there were many who followed
him into his far distant home with the
very best of wishes. These now can
not do otherwise than condemn the
man for the false statements he makes
about the State and the people who
honored him and whom he, in turn,
dishonored.
Every statement he makes bears
its falsity on the surface. He says, in
substance, that no man can be a Re.
pulican and respected citizen. This
Dug hit to be SO, but it isn't. if it is,
how does DR.. Grissom reconcile it
with the fact that he was kept in of
flee by Democrats for over 20 years !?
He was respected until he showed
himself unworthy of respect.
He knows better when he SAYS that
the election law passed in 1883 kills
many negro votes because the negroes
have to cast their ballots without in
struction which, if put in the wrong
box, are thrown out.
The election law passed in 1888 has
not yet gone into effect 1t will not
60 into effect until next November
Under this law, the judges of election
Gone of whom is Republican, are
compelled to tell voter how to cast
his ballot, if be so requests.
Here is an extract from an article
which DIR. Grissom himself published
over his own signature, in the news
papers of New England in 1883. 1t
refutes the statement which he makes
to the Denver Republican,
cat the head of great charity of
the State, retired from active politics
for many years, but necessarily
thrown in contact with leading citizens
of all classes and parties, 1 speak alb
solutely from non-pai tisan stand
point, and it is but justice to say that
while there may have been some indi.
vidual acts of injustice by members of
b)th parties in the State, there was no
concerted attempt by either party to
disfranchise any class of voters; and it
is only the truth to say that in North
Carolina there was free ballot and a
fair count. No honorable man can
deny these statements"

Capt. Williams is known as a very

manner toward all men without dis
tinction-a manner which is natural
because it has been with him always,
and which never reminds one Of the
electioneering trick. His shake is the
same old shake, without any extras,

The Bank of Hickory.

The Bank of Hickory whose failure
has been announced made an assign
ment to Messrs. j. G. Hall and j. d.
Elliott. without preferences. The
bank was private institution, unin-
corporated, owned and conducted by
Mr.. D. w. Shuler, who came to
Hickory from Charlotte, Mich, about
three years ago, and established it.
A citizens bank with capital
stock of $4,000 begun business this
morning. Two thirds of the stock
has already been subscribed. A. A.
Shuford and K. G. Menzies are at
the head of the new bank.
The Hickory Press says the U. S.
postal service is getting worse and
worse. A registered letter was sent
from this place to New York contain
ing 81 900 in N. Y. exchange. It
took five days to go. In the mean
time checks sent two days later reach
ed the bank in New York and went
to protest, and that is what caused all
the financial excitement abont the
Bank Of Hickory.

THE FORCE BILL.

A dispatch from Washington on
Tuesday says:
"a paper was in circulation on the
floor of the House today, addressed by
the Republican members to the COM
mittee on Rules, reciting the necessity
for final action by Congress upon the
national election bill, and expressing
the willingness of the signers to con-
tinue the present session until such &C
ton is had Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio,
circulated the paper, and it was re-
ported that more than forty Republi-
can signatures had been attached be-
fore the House met at noon.
The Southern Republicans, who
have been protesting most strongly
against the Quay resolution, have so
far refrained from any united action.
and it would appear that the counsels
of leading spirits to avoid a sectional
move, and to cast their lot with the
majority of the party, will prevail"
This is the situation in the Houses
but in the Senate Mr.. Quay's resolu-
ton to shelve the bill seems to be
gaining ground with the moderate
Republican.
by the way, Granny Hoar, one of
the Republican extremists, said few
days ago that he would prefer that
every factory in New England should
be closed and every workman be re-
duced to a diet of Goldfish rather than
to see the Force Bill fail.
That's Republican politics

The Weight of a Dollar Bill.
ISt. Paul Pioneer Press.l

Do you know how many one dollar
bills it takes to weigh as much as a
twenty-dollar gold piece? Driving
out to White Bear recently one of
those walking compendiums Of useful
information sprung the above query,
and the opinions that it ELECTED show a
remarkable range. One member of
the party, whose business it is to han
die money in large sums, after pro-
found thought suggested that the num-
Der would be from 1000 to 200.
Others guessed down the line to 500.
but no one less than that number.
After all had placed themselves on
record, the compendium stated that
the number Of bills was thirty or
thirty-one. according to their clnii
ton as to dirtiness and age.
