WHO GETS THE INTEREST,"

Mr. EDITOR:-I wish to call the at
tentiOn, through your paper, Of the leg
lSlaGOrS now sitting in the capital, to a
the city of Raleigh, and maybe else
where in the State, of rObbing the
farmers. A neighbOr of mine went to
one of these and wanted to Dor
row 500 Oh yes, if he was solid he
could have the money. So after exam
ming the records in the court house or
record office, and finding he was a sub
stantial man, he could have the c tsh
Oy giving a mortgage On his land. He
gave the deed and got the cash. less IS
interest, and cost OF drawing deed, $40,
also cost of recOrdingthe same. Just
before the time the money became due
he received a note to the effect that he
hoped he would call and pay as be
needed the money. The man of course
sold his cotton and paid the money. AS
soon as the cash was safe in his grip
he turned to the poor man and said "aII
right, Mr.. S, if you need any more we
have a plenty to loan. We will be glad
to serve you on the same terms" 8 per
cent. $10fOr deed and record fees extra,
making about % per cent aud thus
the poor farmer is bled every time by
the tools Of ~ptutocracy. This man Is
but an agent and no doubt he receives
a per cent. from the capitalist who
furnishes the money. If these so called
friends Of the people, now sitting in the
would pass a law limiting the
fees of the legal fraternity to q per
cent, for such work | think they would
do more good than all this dog and
'possum fuss they have yet made. But
course they are like the shark men
toned above. they are the tools of the
p~IutOcrats. By their acts shall We
know them. The 6 per cent bill. for
instance. But the people are watching
them. Yours fraternally,

From which it appears that one halt
of the credit and business Of the world
rests upon silver. On thus point Mr..
Leech says:
1t is seriously proposed, and the
tendency of all Europe IS In that direc
ton, to demOnetize the silver portion
of the worlds supply of money and
throw the burden of our Increa sing
population and business upon the gold
stock. The annual product of gOlt Is
only about 1925, 900, 600, Of which near
ly one half Is used IN The industrial arts
aud manufactures, so that the annual
supply for monetary purposes Is hardly
in excess of $65. 600, 900. Ii thus plan l.
carried out 1t is the existing stock of
gold, then, that for many years at least
must form the basis of business and
credit, and serve as the medium Of all
exchanges. That such a narrowing of
the basis Of credit and trade is attended
by i~ncalculable difficulties and hard
ships must be apparent"
The DISTRIBUTING Of silver Can not
much further proceed without under
mining the value Of the stocks of silver
coins now existing and destroying
their status - money behind the huge
credit fabrics OF the world. Ii silver
should decline to 50 or 50 cents per

BIrs Olmsted IL Very Anxious Ia HeG
From Her Husband.
NORTH WILTON. Conn. Sept. 90. Mrs.
William A. Olmsted OF this place re-
quests the aid of the press In her en-
deayors to discover the whereabouts Of
her husband. who disappeared on June 20
last. On that day Mr.. Olmsted started
for New York on business. A man answer
ing his description was reported to have
been seen passing through Bayonne, n. j.,
few days later, but since then no trace
of him has been discovered.
Mr.. Olmsted had been working very
hard, and his health was somewhat inn
paired. and as the day of his starting out
vas one of the hottest kind for many
years. it is thought that his mind may
have become affected and that he may now
be in some asylum. He was about AZ
years old. 5ft l0in. high. weighed about
i50 pounds, had full beard and light blue
eyes, had scar on the center Of the fore
head, wore black diagonal suit and
carried an open faced watch. Mrs. Ohm
sted has spent all her money in her efforts
70 find her husband and is obliged to make
general appeal for assistance. Mr.. Ohm.
sted was u steady and industrious man.

Vote on UncOnd itiOnal Repeal May
Never Be Reached.
THE GORMAN-WALCOTT INCIDENT
Believed That the Latter Gentleman Has
Only Aided the Delay and Nipped In
the Bud Plans Mapped Out by the
Senator from Maryland.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 9.---The bitter and
ill- natured debate that took place in the
Senate between Senators German, Wal
colt and Aldrich has served to add fuel to
the fame, and the prospects OF termina-
tion of the silver debate are therefore more
than ever gloomy.
Aldrich and German were especially iu-
dignant at Wolcott, because he undoubt-
edly nipped in the bud plan that was on
foot to reach a vote by forcing sessions next
week lasting until midnight The plan
may yet be resuscltated, but last night 1t
was feared to be of, owing to Wolcotts
premature explosion Of it.
There Is much comment at the Senate
with regard to the passionate indignation
displayed by Mr.. German. 1t was the first
time In his Senatorial career that he 10
known to have been ratified.
German was confused, because 1t Is the
first time his hand has ever been exposed
prsmaturely. It is well known that he is
the real power behind the throne in the
Senate, and it is also well known that he
10 not staying awake o'nights endeavoring
TO pass the repeal bill.
He undoubtedly thinks a compromise
will be the result, and his plan is to lay
low, and when the compromise negotiation
is ripe step in and take charge Of it rs the
Moses of his party. Wolcott interfered
with his plans and ratified the political
sphynx for the first time on record.
Whether the midnight session arrange
ment Is OF a. q result Of the exposure ro-
mains to be seen. Certain it is, however,
that the air OF the Senate is again full OF
compromise and the prospect OF vote as
remote al ever.
II 10 now the opinion Of a good majority
Of the Senators that vote upon the silver
question Of unconditional repeal will never
be reached, but. that before the point OF
such a vote is reached some one Of the
numerous compromise amendments will
have been adopted that will be acceptable
to the conservative silver men.

EDrNBuRo, Sep. 29.-Mr and Mrs. GLAD
stone left here at noon enrouts for Hawar-
den castle, their home In Chester. Mr..
Gladstone showed no sign whatever that
the delivery of his speech had had any iil
effect upon him. Enthusiasts crowds
lined the streets from the hotel at which
Mr.. Gladstone stopped to the railway sta
tion, and his departure was marked by
scenes similar to those that accompanied
his arrival yesterday.
In his speech, referring to the Irish hens
rule bill, Mr.. Gladstone said:
''In spite Of all that has been said, the
last session Of the house OF commons will
not have to be recorded as barren ono.
The many days spent on the home rule
bill will not be without a harvest The
fact that the peoples chamber deliberately
and advissdly passed, after long and
searching discussion, bill OF such. vast
Importance, is the most significant step in
connection with the whole subject OF the con-
tentment, happiness and peace OF Ireland.
The fact is that the present parliamentary
institutions are too weak for their purpose.
luoy OtcTWoiku huu do NV Ahcus eho ~
mands of the country. In spite OF the
sacrifices OF the house of commons during
the past session there has been legisla-
tive famine. There is something wrong
and defective in the great institutions.
The condition Is intolerabls and demands
the concentrated attention Of the nation
with the view to the removal OF the de-
fects. The evil In immeasurable. On one
hand is the nation expressing just de-
mands; on the other hand are the neces-
sary measures to satisfy those demands
But between the two there is great bar
risr. namely, the Irish question, which
nas taken the energy and mortgaged the
time of parliament generation after genera
tion. Why has this question continued to
exist 30 long, and who Is answerable for
its remaining before usi There is only one
reply-ths responsibility rests with the
house of lords. Who has the remedy Ia
dealing with this great evilY'
Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to review
the relations that have existed between the
house of lords and the house Of commons
since the passage Of the Reform bill In
1882.
"Since lS41," he said, "the legislation
of the house OF commons has been per-
petual challenge to the house OF lords.
Sometimes the latter hasdeclined to accept
the challenge and has passed the measure
proposed because unless they had done so
there would have been no house of lords at
this date"

TREFETHEN BROKE DOWN
During the Argument Of Counsel Long In
His Behalf

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept 70. Twice
1uring the delivery Of the argument in
bis behalf yesterday did James Albert
Trefethen break down and weep pitiably.
He had commanded his self-possession
well till the reference Of his counsel, ex-
Governor Long, to the interview Of the
day following Tena's disappearance be-
tween Trefethen and the grief-stricken
mother, who accused him of spiriting
away her daughter. He broke down again
during the peroration.
Elk Governor Long had taken five and
one-haIf hours to sum up the case for the
defense. He had concluded at lilo. and
m intermission Of one hour ensued.
His peroration wSs q fine appeal for his
client, and It thrilled the hearts Of all who
heard It. He laid great stress upon the
contention that murder had not been
shown by the commonwealth.
He argued that the government had not
proven that Trefethen was with Tena
Davis that night. and he claimed that an
plibi had been established by the defense.
Attorney General Pillsbury began his
plss at 8 o'clock, and when the court nd.
5ourped at 5:l5 he had not finished. He
made plain and forcible statements.
He claimed the Maiden bridge theory
was absurd by reason Of the place where
the hat was found, aud also the location
Of the body when discovered mile and a
half away. He argued that it was Ire.
fetben's buggy that was seen at the cor.
ner Of Ferry street and Broadway on the
night Of Tsns's disappearance; that II was
the wheel tracks OF this same buggy that
were seen BY Leahy and Wellington on
Wsllingtsn bridge few days after Tens's
