southern Women as Guides.

SALISBURY, N, G., Oct. 3d.
Mrs. Charles Price, Of Sails
bury, third vice president Of the
lady managers of the Worlds
Fair, has just received q letter
from Mrs. Potter Palmer, high
ly approving an idea originated
by Mrs. Price Of employing for
guides at the Fair number Of
Southern women, who will thus
be given an opportunity Of pay
ing their expenses during the
Exposition and perhaps of earn
ing a handsome sum. Their
duties will be to take people
over the Exposition grounds
and also to act as interpreters
for those who do not speak our
language.

THAT humorous publication,
Exchange. got off the following
horse sense: Credit is simply a
loan without interest or securi-
ty. No one expects to get mon
ey, even from his best friend,
without giving good security
and paying interest until it is
returned. But everybody asks
the merchant tradesmen, who
have turned their money into
goods, to let them have goods
and wares on the bare word
that they will pay for them in
time. None expects to return
the goods or pay interest, and
so many do not pay at all that
the financial records Of this
country show eight out of ten
die bankrupt Dc you see the
reason why the credit system
is a fraud and ought to be
abolished.

Missouri schools, though other

Growing Armies.

Just at this time when there
is so much discussion over the
CHILEAN affair and the PROBABLE
tiles of a marine war, we are
reminded of the fact that every
year the navies and armies OF
Europe grow larger and their
guns heavier.
Another fact is also connected
with this idea. Every year the
Universal Peace society meets,
passes its resolutions and ad-
journ again. This year the So
ciety will hold its annual inter
national congress under the
very nose of some the greatest
guns in the world at Rome,
Perhaps their gentle speeches
and papers may in course OF
time start a movement in favor
of universal peace, but things
donot look that way.
1t looks rather as if the ar
maments of the nations will in
time become so monstrous, aud
their weapons so destructive,
that they will be afraid to fight
enc another, and So adopt un-
iversal disarming.
II the armies of Continental
Europe continue to grow as they
have been doing, there will
come a period when nearly all
the ablebodied men will be sol
diers and not a sufficient mum
Der will be left to feed the rest

Negro Picnic at Fair View Park.

The Dover Inder is in trouble. It
says: The announcement of the negro
picnic to take place on the Fair Grounds
about the middle of June has created
quite little furry among the people
OF Dover. What does this pic. mic
mean? Is it for the purpose of giving
an opportunity to few individuals to
pocket nice little pile of shekelsP ? or
is it political scheme engineered by
the "accidentap' SenatorP 1t is we'll
known that the negroes of this Penin-
sula have nothing out of which to
make great exposition and indus
trial display. That part of the per-
fOrmance is all mOOnshine. But the
negro LangstOn who was in Congress
for few weeks by reason of the arbi.
trary rulings of Speaker Reed, is ex-
pected, no doubt to be the chief figure
Oh attraction. He is to harangue the
molly crowd and stir up all the ignor-
ent prejudices of the race by carrying
them back to the scenes in 1868. +
There now seems to be a very
considerable difference of opinion be-
tween the Board of Directors and
the Secretary as to what things are OBJ.
Jectionable. If the Directors had
known anything about the character of
the show, it is reasonable to suppose
that if they had felt inclined to let the
grounds and buildings for this purpose
more than 800 would have been
charged as rent. But something ought
to be done to put an end to this whole
business. Fifteen thousand negroes
turned loose in town what will be-
come of us? We can hardly get along
with what we have now. Our wives
and children are not safe upon the
streets after dark now, and the Lord
only knows what will happen if this
thing is allowed to be carried into exc.
cutlon. Knives, razors, slungshots
and pistols will be the principal things
displayed, and it will be a miracle if
much blOOdshed is not the result.

HOnOrs to a Delawarean.

John B. Moore, son of DR.. John A.
Moore, third assistant secretary OF
state, has been unanimously elected
by the board of trustees of Columbia
College, New York City, to the chair
Ofinternational law established there.
This is looked upon as great distinc-
ton, and is probably due to the rep
utatiOn attained by Mr.. Moore from
the publication of his treatise on inter.
national law. Mr.. Moore is we'll
known in this community. He was
appointed to his present position by
Mr.. Bayard, soon after his admission
to the bar of this county.
He was registered here as a student
under E. G. Bradford, Esq, about 1881.
Mr.. Bayard's selection of Mr.. Moore
has been fully justified, as was shown
by hiS rapid promotion in the state
department, where he was at the first
under the direction of the well.knoW n
writer, DIR. Francis Wharton, and by
his subsequent retention in office by
Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Moore was born in FELTON,. Kent
county, Delaware, in 1860. The pro-
liabilities are that he will leave the
the State Department and go on duty
in his new position next Octoher.

1nquiring for Baby Mckee.

How is baby McKee," lisped a lit.
tie fOnr-year-Old chap, as he put out
his hand to the President in the East
room at the White House Wednesday.
1t was during the public reception and
the room was filed with excursionists
and the president was shaking hands
with the crowd at the rate of forty-five
shakes aminute. The inquiry of the
little fellow was the first break in the
monotonous ceremony, and a broad
smile appeared upon the presidential
face as he replied that Baby Mckee
is very well. As a matter Of course
the crowd laughed, and the little fell
lows parents realizedthat he had scored
quite a hit.
There was a number of small chill.
dren ia the throng, including several
crying babies in arms. None were
slighted by the president, for he took
care to tumble around among the baby
garments for the little hands. There
was one yongster who made himself
conspicuous while the reception was
going on, by an almost incessant bawl-
Ing. Its mother was anxious to see
the president, but no amount of walk
ing up and down in the southern end
Of the room, or coaxing could induce
the child to be quiet. Finally, when
the reception was nearly over, the
mother with her baby still bawling,
approached the president. Almost
instantly the bawIing ceased, apd q
smile played over the baby face as the
president took the little, pink hand.
The fond mother was delighted.

SENATOR EDMUNDs ON lS92.-Sena.
tor Edmunds, in an interview with a
Star correspondent in Washington.
says he thinks the policy of his party
IN 1872 will continue to be what it has
been-tO maintain the Mckinley tariff
and pass a force bill at the first oppor-
tunity. He does not think the Demo
Gratis will be carried away by the free
coinage idea. As for the Farmers'
Alliance movement in protest against
the legislation of recent years. the
Senator sees no just cause for it. "a
large part of it arises" he says sagely,
from intrinsic qualities of the human
mind" One of these intrinsic quail
tiles, he thinks, is its liability to periods
Of excitement. Storms come and 20.
and nobody can tell exactly why. So
OF the Farmers movement. It is a
species ofrOugh mental weather, that
has blown down good many Repub-
lican fences, but there was no real
reason for it and it will ultimately
subside and leave things about as they
were. One possible bad result of the
Farmers Alliance in 1892 may be, he
thinks, the failure of any party to elect
a majority of the whole electoral col.
lege, in which case the election of
president and vice-president falls to
the Democratic House of Representa-
tiVes.

Money Taking Care of Itself.

AT board meeting of one of our
savings banks last evening, it was an
nounced that the agents of certain
Philadelphia financial institutions.
from which money had been borrowed
in this state, on bonds and mortgages,
at per cent, has given notice to the
holders of this money, to the amount
of SOC, 900, that the mortgages must be
paid or the rate changed to per
cent.
This call for $4,000 in per cent
mortgages, is merely the first response
OF outside capitalists to the schemes
for "equalizing" taxes in this state.
The Immediate practical effect is to
advance the price of money l per
cent. What has already been done in
this case of the sum of $4,000 of out
side capital invested in this state, will
be done by the owners Ofevery dollar
of outside capital which has been lent
mere at hVe per cent.
We print these facts without the
least feeling. Borrowing money and
paying interest is not mater of feeling
but of business. The owners of money
can do what they please with it. They
can leave it in this state or take it out.
just as their interest directs. 1t is
evident that the owners of money,
living in other states, will not lend
money here at 5 per cent, and pay
tax on it. The effect of an effort to do
SO is an advance of one per cent in the
rate of interest. The effect of an ac-
tual application of the theory that a
lender can be made to pay taxes on
such monies as he hires out for the use
of the community, will be that the
outside owners of money will take
their money out of the state and lend
1t elsewhere. This Is in accordance
with human nature.-Morning News.

The Hayseed.

We can all Of us remember
How along about September
The papers used to tell of the caucus or the
fair
And those fellows from the city
Used to get almighty witty
On the fellow with the duster who had hayseed
In his hair.
They had fun in Legislators
With the man what raised pOtaters,
Ifby any hook or crook or chance elected and
sent there.
And those repOrtoriAl friskers
Used to comment on the whiskers
And the carpet-sack of Billion, who had hay
seed in his hair.
Yes. by gum he rode his pass out,
And he used to blow the gas out,
And he used to drink hard cider when he went
out on a tear;
And he used to squeeze the dollar
TIL the buzzard used to holler,
Thecut up ridiculous that had hayse0d in his
hair.
But by gum. if you've been reading
You'll observe a strange proceeding
"Tis the fellow with chin whiskers that is
slowly getting there;
And it won't be too surprising
II, by slowly organizing,
Old parties may wake up and find the haysesd
in their hair.
When the fashions change, you fellers
Will all carry green umbrellas,
And trousers wide across the seat to, make the
dudelets stare;
And in those days, ifyOu pass master,
You must wear linen duster
And if you want to show on style, put ha yseed
in your hair.

CHINESE STILL POURING IN,-The

Hoffman, de6nately locates in CallfOr-
MIA some seven hundred Chinese who
have no business there under the re.
striction act, and opens the door wide
for more coolies, a rapid immigration
of which may be expected very soon.
In other words it seems, the exclusion
act does not exclude. The almond
eyed Celestial somehow, finds a way
to break through the most iron-clad
restrictions, but the Report does not
despair but calls upon the whole coast
to unite upon the expiration of the
present treaty, to unite for the passage
of total exclusion act, the only way
by which the Chinese can be kept out
