Him in Railway Management.

Sr. Louis, Mo-, Oct. ia report is
current here that Jay Gould has decided
to turn over the bulk of his executive
duties to S. H. H. Clark, vice president
and general manager of the Missouri
Pacific Railway. Mr.. Clark was called
to New York short time ago, and it was
then stated the object of his visit was
TO consult with Mr.. Gould relative to
rate cutting in the West. This, it is
now said, was not the case. 1t is said
that since Mr.. Gould has taken an act

the Union Pacific, as well as those of
the Missouri Pacific, the tax upon hint
has been so great that he has finally
been compelled to take rest.

Resolutions on Education Adopted ny
Kansas Presbyterians.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, oct. 13.-The
Presbyterian synod of Kansas, in ses-
sion in Kansas City, kas., to-day
passed strong resolutions concerning
Catholicism and immigration. The
resolutions state that the synod view
with apprehension the concerted
efforts Of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy to denationalize our institu
tons by substituting the nationaiisms
and customs of continental Europe in
their place; and we insist upon the
teaching Of the English language in all
the public schools as the language of
this country, and we are opposed To the
formation OF little Germanys and little
Italvs and other clannish tendencies
which keep immigrants from becoming
a homogeneous part of our population"

cause for congratulation. No
standing army in the world
costs the people SO much as our
army of discharged soldiers.
Great Britain, with q regular
army of more than 225, 900 off,
GERS and men, and o total force,l
effective and nol-effective, OF
6ls,OOO, pays annually less than
$75, 1000, 900; and France, with Q
regular force of $4,000, besides
an enormous reserve, pays $lll,-
600, 900. The army of the Ger
man Empire, the best-appoin
and best-equipped military force
| in the world, consisting, on .
peace footing, Of 492, 900 officers
and men, costs annually less
than $92, 900, 900; while the acr
tual field force Of Russia, num-
bering S14, 900, is maintaised at
an expense Of less than $94 ,0OO,-
900. These are the annual
charges to which the people OF
four great European nations are
subjected in order to maintain
a neutrality-suspicious. effective
force for their own defense In
case of war, and for the preserf
walton Of the "balance of pow
er" which their governments
consider necessary to guarantee
their independence. Although
we are at peace among our
selves and with all the world,
and have no foreign or domestic
policy to make such an expen-
diture necessary, we are paying
more than $135, 900, 900 annually
to the soldiers of q war that
closed twenty-five years ago.
Thepayment of reasonable PEN
sions, on account Of wounds ac-
tually received and diseases
actually contracted in the mili-
tary or naval forces in time OF
war, is Just and right in itself,
and is, moreover, the wisest
policy that can be adopted by a
government which relies for its
defense almost exclusively up
on the voluntary sefvices of its
citizens; but the gratuitous dis
tribution of public money among
certain classes Of the people is
neither just nor consistent with
the character of our institutions.

A Judge and Jury Combination.
raleigh visitor.

Not a thousand miles from
Raleigh lives a justice of the
peace, so the story goes, who is
as conscientious as he is learn
ed in the law, possibly more SO.
The case was an alleged theft
at a country dance of one derby
hat valued at $3.50. The law
yers on both sides agreed to
dispense with the "twelve good
men" and requested the justice
to sit as jury. He took the re-
quest literally and, mounting
the bench, he considered for a
long time and finally consented.
Then leaving the bench the
| Justice filed himself into the
jury box, had himself sworn by
the clerk and listenened to the
evidence. When an objection
was made ora law point raised
by the lawyers, "the jury" left
| the box, mounted the bench and
passed on it rs judge, returning
to the jury box in time TO hear
the testimony.
After the evidence was all in
he wrote out his instructions as
Judge, and handing it to one q
the attorneys, requested him &
read il to the jury. After lis
tening to the instructions in hi
capacity Of jury he had him
self conducted from the room
by the sheriff and locked up il
the jury room to consider thu
verdict. He stayed out ST,
hours, and at the end ofthat tim
filed into court, reported tina
the jury could not agree, and a
Judge discharged himself AM
taxed the jury fee 50.

Evasion of tine Law Should Not
BE Encouraged.

N. q. infeVig-n'or.
The rate Of interest should
never be made SO low as to
tempt those whose necessities
compel them to borrow to make
themselves parties to transac-
tionindirectlyevasive of the law
fixing the price Of money. And
it il equally as sound a prin-
ciple, that those WHO have mon
eny to lend should not be en-
couraged BY the low rate of in
tercst to send 1t out of the State
for higher prices, or make up
the difference between the ess
tablished legal rate and the
value of their money elsewhere
by charging a bonus on what is
loaned. Any law that tendstp
bring aboEt such a condition in
business undermines the morals
of society and is destructive Of
fair dealing. 1t is important,
then, that the legislator when
legislating ON the subject of in
terest should keep in his mind
the above principles, and with
hold his vote from the support
of any measure the tendency ef
which is to destroy respect for
the law, and cultivate a feeling
of insubordination to it. To de-
termine what the rate of inter-
est should be has always been a
most difficult problem, and our
wisest Legislators have ever
hesitated to change rates which
are the resultof long usage, and
which practical experience has
sanctioned and fainiliarized. 1t
| is difficult to foresee what effect
the legislation now contein-
plated by the General Assembly
on the subject of interestwould
have on business, but we fear
the legislation on the line indi-
Gated by the pending bill would
fail in accomplishing object
desired, and, at the same time,
taint with illegality, if not
fraud, the majority of purely
money transactions entered into
after the passage. That there
should be a fixed rate of inter
est we believe will be generally
admitted, and there should be
a law absolutely prohibiting
overcharges by the penalty Of
total forfeiture, but the pro
gressive tendency of the times,
and the sudden demands fol-
money which often occur, in
legitimate business, would op-
pose the lowering the rate tc
the extent of rendering the Dor
rowing of money uncertain, ol
educating both the lender anC
borrower to practice evasion
What should be the rate of in
terest, is an old question, buf
history teaches that nearly ey
ery country which has taker
steps to prevent usury, ant
keep down the interest Of mon
ley, has invariably increased
Iusury and raised interest. foi
no prohibition, however strin
gent, can destroy the natura
relation between demand anC
supply.

staissvills Land mark.

Elder Editor Elliott f. Shep-
herd, of the New York Mail and
Express, has made a declara-
tion of war upon the South.
The immediate melting cause
was the recent action of several
State Legislatures declaring
their purpose to make no APP
preparation for representation
at the Columbian Exposition if
the force bill became a law.
The valiant colonel says In his
noble paper:
eff gallant Ben Harrison wants
| / 600, 900 men TO end up the new
Southeastern rebellion and en-
force the constitution and laws
of the United States he can have
them in thirty days. The var
| whip is cracked again in the
United States Senate and in reb-
ell Legislatures and blood is in
the air. Let the North, East
and West begin the war this
time and it will be short, and
/ 1000, 900 Of our citizens will be
enfranchised and afforded the
means Of self-protection. Let
us strike before the Southeast
can organize military. She is
moving to that organization
with rapid strides. The deifi-
cation Of Lee in Richmond last
May was one step. The irre-
sponsible volunteer mounted
cavalry in every county in ev-
lery slave State is another.
Threat Of war il Congress does
| its duty and provides for the
lprotection of citizens at the
polls is another. These are like
the mutterings Of 1860, and
ought to be understood by the
American people and answered
by immediate mobilization Of
troops in every State. !"
