JAY OUL DEAD.

JAY GOULD, the wizard of Wall street,
| and the greatest fnancier Of two coun-
tries, has finally passed in his last check
and grim and grisly Death cashed ii, can
celed Il, and sent a restless and avaricious
soul on its way rejoicing.
As We recall the record Mr. GOULD
was about 60 years Of age
In financial walks for several years he
has been a terror. He has been to the
| financial world what Edison las been
to the electrical world-a wizard with
no end to what he conceived and he end
to what he could do
JAY GOULD has wrecked more rail
roads than any other man. He has been
what Americans would call an absolute
dissembler. 1t used to lie said of him
that "in republican distaicts GOULD was
a republican; in democratic districts
GOULD was a democrat in prohibition
districts GOULD was a prohibitionist'-
but always and forever GOULD was for
the Erie.
Some forty years'ago, in a little New
Jersey town, JAY GOULD peddied mouse
.-~., ..x -, H.. Ioca.,oo cnruor0r
and in one of the small New Jersey
counties he walked and rode and made a
map Of that county. Then he wrote a
book. In after years his utterances in
that book we're so much at variance with
what he practiced, that his preaching, as
we would say, heartily shamed him, and
it has been stated that he paid as much
as 500 a copy for the book which he
wrote and which he termed a youthful
folly. 1t was his life effort to suppress
that volume.
Mr.. GOULD, when the yellow fever
struck the South, sent the most liberal
chcck-thOusands Of dollars-and while
the world has seen him in his wrecking
business, it should not forget that he has
many times responded to the call OF
charity.

MERIT

The many friends of Col. \. y. An
DREws in and outside Of railroad circles
will be pleased to hear of the continued
recognition Of his worth as a man, and
manager Of railroad matters, in his re.
election as president of the North Caro-
lima Midland railroad at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders at Winston yester-
day.
Having demonstrated such marked
ability in the administration of the large
and intricate interests Of the Richmond
and Danviile system as had made that
line sc popular in North Carolina, and
having at all times rendered every con-
Citation, accommodation and courtesy t o
patrons consistent with the interest he
served, it is bat meet he should wear the
honors his merit so richly deserves.
His policy has been to develop and
build up North Carolina, and perhaps
no man in her borders from ManteO to
Murphy, has been of such real benefit to
the state in this line, and we repeat, it is
but just, he should be rewarded.
