The APPEAL is opposed to Congress,

University. We are utterly opposed to
any East India arrangements IN the

invention of caste to be ground to fine

are admitted at nearly all of our first

is not needed. And in fact, the white
people have no real university, there is
not one such institution in the United
States. A real university, not a mere
burlesque, such as are many of the insti.
buttons which assume the name is the

Some lunatic from the Wild and
Woody West introduced into the late
House Of Representatives loan bill
It provides that the government shall
loan money on farms, loan money to pay
the bonds of cities, towns and Villages,
loan money for sanitary purposes,
loan money for running railroads and
loan money for constructing new roads.
1T is proper to say that we are opposed
to the bill. We do not believe in any
such class legislation. A proper bill
would provide for loaning "a stake" to
a poor fellow who has got broke at craps,
loaning few dollars to every lady who
wants a sealskln sacque and loaning a
handsome sum to meritorlous but impe-
cunious editors. If Uncle Sam is going
into the pawn brobing business, We want
him to ''tote level.''

FI4EECED BY A FAIR FAKIR.
Miss GOrham, of New York. Leaves hel
Charlotte Creditors I'm the Lurch.

A Charlotte telegram was sent to
the Richmond Times last week as
follows: A highly sensational affair
is engaging the interest of society
here at present. A young woman
by the name of Miss Gorham, of New
York, who was a vocal teacher at the
Female Institute the past winter,
skipped the town several hundred
dollars in debt.
She was prettie brunette, with a
bright, attractive face. She recsiv
ed attention. from Young men of the
city, among them prominent phys
ician, whom she ''stuck" to the
amount of $75. She was the leading
soprano in the choir of the First
Presbyterian church, and Of the most
aristocratic in the city.
The merchants whom she SO skill
fully robbed got wind of her little
game the evening before she left for
Morehead City and called and de-
manded payment. She met them
with smile, and boldly looking one
of them In the face informed him she
did not know him. He threatened
to have her behind the bars if she
did not make some redress, SO she
returned some of the goods taken
and paid him a small sum. Her
trunks were levied upon at the sta
tion and are now held by one of her
creditors. She stopped at Morehead
but a day and left Immediately for
New York, her home.

GREAT SCOTTl
THE ADMINISTRATIVE TO CONSID-
Ell, THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
And the Last Report of the Treasurer
Shows the Smallest Cash Balance
Ever Recorded Refore-Other Wash
inGtOn News

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Some of
the Republicans apologists for the
late billion dollar Congress have been
exeusing these financial tinkerers by
boasting that ''this is a billion dollar
country" So it is billion dollar
country, and so the people wish it to
remain. That is why they rebel
when confronted with the enormous
pension expenditures and other use
less Outlays which disgrace the re-
cord of the late Congress.
A meeting of the Cabinet will be
held on the Goth instant, for the pur-
poses of considering the financial
situation, especially with reference
to the extension of the four and one
half per cent. loan and the coutinu-
ed coinage of silver after the 1st
proximo. The President and Secre-
Washington next Thursday.
The Treasurer's statement issued
yesterday shows that the cash bal
ance is $44, 4,4l5, 900 of which 500, ,029,-
600, is on deposit with national
banks and $2O, O,25O, 900 is in fractional
silver, deducting which items, the
cash balance is but ~ ,2333 600, which
is the lowest figure yet reached.
The silver coinage act which pro-
vides for the purchase of 4. 900, 900
Ouaces of silver bullion each month,
also gives the Secretary of the Treas
ury the discretion to suspend the
present coinage of 100000 ounces
of silver bullion each month. 1t is
stated, however, that Secretary Fas>
ter may conclude to continue the
cninage as heretofore,

Columbus, o.. special to the At
lanta Constitution saws: The most
critical campaign in the history
OF Ohio politics opened when the
gavel fell on one of the largest
and most enthusiastic Republican
State conventions the Buckeye COM
monwealth has ever known. The
nomination of Mckinley to the office
of Governor has been a foregone
conclusion for some weeks.
The denomination by Democrats
of James E. Campbell for another
term is also predicted safely, war
ranted by signs in the political sky,
and the contest for the next four
months will be between McKinly and
Campbell, the candidates for the other
State offices being almost lost from
sight in the great interest which CEN
ters in the leaders.
AT exactly 2:45 O'Clock L. w. King,
chairman of the State Committee,
called the convention to order and
introduced Temporary Chairman
Vevin. Near the conclusion of his
address he said:
AT the right hand of the President
stands a man, who, for keen intellect,
broad craftsmanship, and devotion
to American interests and American
progress, is the peer of any man who
has ever lived; who lives today, or
ever will live-James G. Blaine"
The name of J. G. Blaine was never
heard by the convention. Little by
little as the peroration reached it's
height, the audience caught the in
fectiOn and from a gentle hand clap
ping. the applause developed into one
mighty shout that shook the vast
building from the gallery to the
GreenrOOm.

THE GLACIER SOF'TENED
And the Lake Which 1t Formed has
Swept Down the Valley.

VIENNA, June 2O.-An artificial
lake, 1000 feet long, $50 wide and
eighty feet deep, formed by the Mar
tell glacier behind Zeufallferner
mountain in Tyrol. burst its confines
yesterday and flooded the valley.
The huge volumn of escaping water
caused n shock like an earth quake
to the surrounding country and made
a daafening noise. AS the inhabit-
ants had expected for some time past
that this accident would happen,
they had accordingly made prepar-
ations looking to the safety of their
lives and property. 1t is hoped that
no fatalities have been caused by
the flood, but reports from many
villages which have been inundated
are axnioUsly awaited. 1t is known
that much property has been des
troyed. The bursting of the lake
was due to the softening of the gla-
cier. which is 200 feet in thickness.

They do not understand their

any man, whether in country or

their use would greatly increase the
