EoAn of the more pretentious pa
pers 1T the North are pointing to
the loss of gold from the Treasury
vaults and are saying that it is
caused by the de!uge of silver That
is all nonsense. There is no deluge
of silver. There is no deluge of
any sort Of currency in this coun-
try. There is a dearth OF currency.
There is stringency in currency
matters. There is not enough for
Legitimate business enterprise
Hence we see such establish
ments as the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, whose shares were sell

The silver policy of this country

MKT week the editors meet in
convention at New Berue, and we
hope to avail ourselves of the op-
portunity to spend day or two at
the Athens of North Carolina. New
Berne can boast of many illustrious
citizens who from colonial days to
the present have adorned her So

have her citizens shown more genu-
inc enterprise than ut present, or

The Bostian Bridge cases have
been settled by compromise, the
payments in some instances where
life was lost being $4,000; and the
total cost aggregating, it is thought,
100000. We do not understand
that the railroad company was
guilty OF negligence, for the bridge
was very fine one and the cause
of the accident wss not the condi
ton of the bridge, but something
else.

A DARING YOUNG MAN.
Novel Performance on the Roof of &
IroIly Car.

Novel Performance on the Roof of
rroIly Car.
A Brooklyn, N. Y. paper contains
the following:
A trolley mishap on Fulton street
at noon today gave young man 8
chance to distinguish himself IN the
eyes Of an adniring crowd. Just
as DeKalb avenue car O. 201
reached the corner Of .Villonghby
and Fulton streets on down trir,
the trolley slipped off the wire ano
scraped along the wooden guards.
There was shower of sparks as ii
t IN a skyrocket, and before ths coz
ductor could right matters the wheel
was burned off and dropped into
the street Short projections on
each side were all that was left OF
the socket which held the wheel
A young man with brown trousels,
a light oyercoat and Derby hat. who
had been riding on the back plat
form of the car, took in the situa-
ton at a glance, and grasping the
edge of the roof ever the platform
swung himself up on top OF the car
Several men in the crowd which had
collected yelled at him to be care
full, and policemen told him to come
down.
The young man paid no heed to
the cries, however, and seized hold
of the trolley pole with both hands,
pressing the broken end against the
wire. The conductor gave the sig
nal to 60 ahead, and as the car
started streak of blue fame shot
up and the pole slipped off the wire.
The man~uvre was repeated several
times, the car getting along a few
feet at each attempt. At last the
young man got the broken end sd-
justed to suit BIN and the car went
merrily down Fulton street, with &
wicked looking blue fl .me followin g
along the wire overhead. The youn 9
mans derby hat touched the trolley
wire on several occasions, but he
did not seem to think that he was
in any danger whatever. A crowo
on the street followed the car al
the way to the bridge, and at inter
vals shouted instructions at the mar
on the roof. When the young maj
climbed down from the top Of th'
car he declined to give his nam,
and walked off as if he was used t,
doing that kind Of thing every day
Car No. 2O1 was drawn back to th,
power station in the wake cfanothe
car.
he young man above alluded t,
is james N. Lewis, son of Mrs. r
= g. Lewis, of Raleigh. For the pas
!, year he has been Superintendent o
an electric railway in Brooklyn.)

Marion Buffers Circular.

nv Dear Sir: The outlook for
reform is bright, bus We must stand
to our guns and keep our eye On
the enemy. He is shrewd and cum
ming, and is already offering bogus
measures of relief to fool the people
and side track reformers. The
demagogues and h,pocrits must be
watched and their schemes exposed.
The partisan press will give you no
light, they suppress the truth. The
ro,tenness and corruption OF the
late election is leaking out. The
facts must be collected and given to
the people. The Caucasian stands
sentinel on the watch tower and will
turn on the light. But it is neces-
sary not only for the truth to be
told. but the people must read the
truth after the truth is written. A
majority Of the voters of the State
are following an honest business
and are in favor of an honest gov
ernment- When they know the
truth then justice will be d ne.
Put the Caucasian into the hands
of enough voters and the victory
is won. [ must reach the people
through the paper. Will you get

TIE failure of the Pennsylvania
Steel company, which carried with
it the branch enterprise at Spar
rows Point near Baltimore, vii!
probably have deleterous effect IN
business circles and may involve
other estsblist ments. However, re-
ceivers have been appointed for
both concerns, and we suppose
they will, under the instructions OF
the court, seek to keep up the cur
rent operations of the establish
msnts and thus prevent the conse-
ouences that would inevitably fol-
low q sudden suspension of such d
great business. The capital of the
parent concern is four millions and
that at Sparrow Point is one mil
lion. and their operations have been
very extensive and altogether con-
fined to legitimate business They
needed some ready cash and were
unable to borrow it because of the
| stringency of the times, for the
money market is very tight. On
Thursday shares of the Pennsy :
vania Company sold for 12O-and
it was rated as one OF the
most prosperous as it was
one of the strongest and mos
fourishing of the enterprises II
that State. The failure has caused
great sensation. The immediate
cause was inability to renew papel
made for the purpose of enlargine
and equipping their plant. ha]
they been able to secure accomoda
ton, they would have gone on il
their prosperous career.
