153,076, not counting Indians. This is
$4,000 more than Delaware has at pres
ent, and three times as many as Nevada.
New Mexico has at present not less
than 10000 inhabitants. The assessed
value of property in 1891 was $45, 1926, 568.
Further, Governor l.. Bradford Prince
of New Mexico tells us that this territory
has greater natural resources, and a
greater variety of them, than any state
now in the Union. She has all the
vegetable and mineral productiveness of
California. and almost limitless beds of
anthracite and bituminous coal besides.
Both the territories have good public
school systfsls supported entirely by
voluntary taxation, since until they are
admitted as states no public school land
grants can be made to them by congress.
Three times enabling acts have been be-
fore congress to make state of New
Mexico, and once the act passed both
houses and only failed for want of time
for the senate to concur in a slight
amendment. New Mexico has been a
territory 43 years this 1898.
Arizona undoubtedly now contains
more than 10000 people, the census Civ
ing her 5000 in 1890. Women vote at
school elections. Her mines produced
50, ZOO, 900 in ore last year, and she has
$S, 900, 900 worth of live stock and over
1000 miles of railway. The soil pro
duces all that grows in the northern
states and the semitropical fruits be
sides.

The Government Gold Reserve Fund.
Matthew Marshall recapitulates the
history of the 800, 100000 gold fund in
the United States treasury as follows in
the New York Sun;
The fact is, and it cannot be too strongly i'm
pressed upon the public mind, that this whole
matter of acquiring and maintaining a reserve
fund in gold for the redemption of legal ten
ders is not q compliance with any act of con-
gress, but is purely tradition of the treasury
department, originating with Secretary Sher-
man, and handed down by him to his success
sors. After congress had in 1878 practically
nullifed the resumption act of 1875 by ordering
the reissue of the redeemed legal tenders, Mr..
Sherman contrived a scheme for making them
as good as gold by accommodating fund of gold
which should show to the world that if gold
should be demanded for them it could be OBJ
tanned.
The amount of this fund he arbitrarily fixed
at 40 per cent of the S346 100000 legal tenders
which were outstanding on Jan. l, 1879, or say
$14O,GO0,OO0, and he actually had at that date
this amount of gold in the treasury vaults. He
procured S95, 0,000 of II by selling bonds, and
the rest he saved out of the surplus customs
revenue, which then had to be paid in gold.
His successors continued his policy, and thus
this so called reserve fund in process of time
came to be accepted as permanent institution,
ana 10 be spoken OF as such. In 1867 q section
was inserted in the act for exfNnding the char
tiers of the national banNs, nm hich the fund
created by Mr.. Sherman is described as being
reserved for the redemption of the legal ten
ders, and in which provision was made that
whenever the fund falls below $l00,OOO,000 no
more gold shall be taken on storage for private
owners and certificates issued for it.
The purpose of this provision Is to guard
against an accumulation Of private gold in the
treasury vaults and its sudden withdrawal for
speculative purposes, but it does not direct
what shall be done to replenish the reserve
when it is less than S10O,0OO000, and much less
does it authorize any sale of bonds In 1885,
Secretary Manning was induced to convert
4 this limit of Sl000O0,0O0, below which the re-
served gold was not to fall without stopping the
! issue of gold certificates into an authoritative
requirement to keep Sl00000,000 gold on hand al
a reserve, and to deduct it from the cash il
the treasury available for general purposes
The practice he adopted has been kept up evel
since.

The Bethlehem Iron company's en-
ployees may feel comfortable in their
minds for some time to come. The
heavy armor plate ordered by congress
for vessels OF the new navy will require
five years to complete. Two million dol
lars worth of this heavy armor has been
ordered from the Bethlehem company,
and 81 100000 worth from the Carnegie
company. Meantime let us hope the
United States viii have no war on her
hands for the next five years at least.

EX PEARsON.
Rev. Dr. =. H. PrftCbarSt' ESei-
mate of the M an.

Rev Or. T. II. Pritchard, writing in
the religious department of the Charlotte
Observer, expresses the following opin-
ions about Evangelist X. G. Pearson of
Ashe vile:
~ have heard many eminent evangcl-
ists-Earle, Hudson, Harrison, Wharf on,
Needham, Moody and others-but the
greatest preacher of them all. by long
odds. too, in my humble Judgment, is
the Rev. X. G. Pearson. i have heard
the great preachers of the world-Spur-
geon. Parker, Farrar. Bcecler, Fuller,
Simpson, Durbin, Talmage. Broadus,
StorrS, John Hall. Lorimer, Ellis, II awks,
Henson, Bishop Atkinson, Hawthorne,
Poindexter, Miller of Charlotte-a very
great rnan-but l am not sure but the
little hard-featured Mississi ppian is
the best preacher of them all. Certainly
no man ever got hold of my conscience
and shook me up like he did. do not
say that he is so great a man as many
of these. Take him altogether, Mr..
Spur0eon was UNNECESSARILY his supe-
rior, and l presume Mr.. Moody is. in
general ability, greater man than
Pearson, but be is nothing like SO good
a preacher-and l say this after having
heard both many times. l say it delib-
erately The most wonderful man have
seen in Il pulpit is r. G. Pearson, and
the beauty of the man is, his character is
as good as his prcaching.'

''Iim, the Westerner," comes to the
Grand on a second visit tomorrow even
ing The play and players will be pleas
ant1y remembered by all who witnessed
the performance on the occasion of
'tJim's'' first visit. The Cincinnati En-
quirer says:
Although Jim is represented as being
a hard working honest miner, from Nc
vada, the scene is laid in New York City,
and deals from the baseball and race
track to the great and wonderful excite
nent that often prevails on the Stock
exchange of Wall street, intermingled
wit h the softer throbs ofthe human heart
w here woman plays the conspicuous
and tender part. Joseph S. Gibbs, who
takes the part of Jim, is we'll at home on
the stage, and completely won the favor
of his audience. Miss Pauline Willard,
in her simple beauty and grace of manner
portrayed so artistically the real nature
of the gentler sex that one could almost
feel himself in the presence of loves ten
derest wooings. The support was fine
from beginning to end"

vorably on the nomination of Judge
Howell L Jackson to be associate Justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States.
When the nomination came up a week
ago today the Democrats entered for
NAL protest to its consideration and
under the rules the matter went over
until the next meeting of the committee,
which was today. The Republican mem
bcrs in he meantime decided that they
would brook no further delay there
were no charges of any kind against
Howell, and the determination was
reached that the nomination should be
acted upon at once. This morning when
the com mittcc met the Democratic men,
bers stated they would no longer oppose
the report to the Senate, but intimated
that they reserved the right to take such
steps as they saw fit when the question
of confirmation came before the Senate
itself.
The committee will make a favorable
report the nomination at the next
executive session of the Senate, possibly
this afternoon, and if there be any
serious Democratic opposition, it will
then have the opportunity to make
itself manifest. 1t is understood that
confirmation.
