be observed that the silver purchase
act is not mentioned as playing an
important part in the matter.
"In some respects, the present
money situation is very extraordi-
nary. Speculative collapses have
in great measure already spent their
force. The 'sindustrial" bubble has
been pricked in New York, the
South African bubble in London,
and the Australian distress has
reached point where at any rate
nothing can develop worse than
what is already known. In both
New York and London, business
embarrassments at one time gravely
threatened have been averted by
the prompt and judicious aid of
outside capital. That the situation
is better, from O. Stock Exchange
standpoint. the recent recovery in
market prices amply attests. Yet
in the face of all this, the money
market continues in state OF most
unusual tension and arrangement.
In London discount rates have
reached the highest point in
months; the Bank rate, always
the barometer of conservative
Judgment, has been twice advanced,
and all the exchanges in Lon
don are near the highest point.
With us, the last fortnight's Equi-
dation has released from Wall street
loans an immense amount of hith-
el to "tied-up" funds, yet these can
scarcely be obtained on any terms
for long time, while for merchants
paper the open market is almost alb
solutely helpless. It is quite true
the banks are properly and eau.
tiously supplying the needs of their
own regular customers, SO that To-
cal merchants generally find thei,
immediate wants provided for. But
this very conservatism leads to the
refusal of s'rediscounts" by New
York city banks of notes offered by
interior institutions. The Western
banks have found themselves quite
unable to increase their own re-
sources by establishing fresh cred
it's in New York. This is the ex'
planation of the suspensions, almost
daily, OF weak or carelessly man
aged Southern and Western banks
The situation, in short, amounts t(
a quiet money scare, extending
throughout the country, and its
outcome fairly battles conjecture"

Issued by the State Weather Service Tor
the Week Ending Monday, June II.
The week ending June 18th has,
on the whole, been favorable for
growing crops. Heavy local rains
occurred during the first part OF the
week, washing lands badly in some
places in the west, and doing more
or less damage in the central and
eastern portions, but excessive rain
was not general. Cool nights during
first of the week retarded growth,
especially cotton, but the last two
or three days gave large amount
of sunshine and warmth. Crops
generally reported in good condi-
ton. Wheat harvesting in full
blast and the yield is excellent.

distip guished Baptist divine, and a
great patriot and friend of Wash

records the details of his trip

gave literally were Huger, Bee,

Col. WATTERsoN is to deliver an
address before the students of the
A. & Nj. College tonight at Metro
politan Hall and the public is in
vited to attend.
While the subject of the address
has not been announced, we feel
warranted in predicting that the
distinguished orator will make one
of his most brilliant efforts, and
that the audience will find it both
wise and witty, eloquent and hum
orous, and thoroughly enjoyable.
No man is harder hitter than the
famous Kentuckian; and none lays
bare with q truer hand the weak
ness and follies of human nature.
Our people will be pleased with the
address,and as highly as they esteem
Col. Watterson from reputation, will
on acquaintance appreciate him
more than ever.

Origin of the "Cracker.o
.ton News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
The South Carolina word "cracker"
has in it some interesting history
about this period of the States pre-
revolutionary prosperity. The orr
gin of the word is said to be thus !:
1t was only people of r,eans along
the rivers and on the islands on the
seaboard that could have mills to
grind corr, since they had to be
brought from England and then
carried by smaller vessels, and in
Hat boats to the plantations along
the rivers and water courses: and
hence people that lived in the back
woods and off from the rivers were
under the necessity of cracking
their corn in mortars with pestle,
and were therefore called "crack-
ers."
(Mr. Williams, in substantiatin g
this, quotes the old refrain
'Oh, Jim Crack Corn. l don't care,
Old massa's gone away.O
got this information about the
origin OF the word "crackers" from
the Rev. Joseph A. Lawton, an aged
Baptist preacher, of Allendale, s.
O., now deceased, who was we'll
posted in the traditional history of
South Carolina. He got it from his
father, a very aged Baptist minister
who died great many years ago
and he got it from his father, who
lived about the time of which am
| writing, and was q planter on James
| Island. JOHN G. WILLIAMS.

Col. FaisOn's Keport.

A Washington special says Secre-
tary Smith has received from In
spector Faison report of the in
vestigtion Of the recent troubles be-
tween the Jones and Locke factions
OF the Choctaw nation. The report
is minute recital of the causes
which led to the hostilities between
the Choctaw militia and the Locke
party, and shows that in a measure
both parties were to blame, but at
the same time much of the difficulty
arose from misunderstanding and
an erroneous conception of the
purposes of each other. The re-
port is accompanied by voluminous
testimony taken during the course
Of the investigation. The course
pursued by Faison meets the entire
approval of Secretary Smith.

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.

The money scare is over. And
now that an effort is being mace
to attribute it to the operation of
the silver purchase act, it is we'll to
take q glance backward and see
what was thought when the trouble
was coming on. It must be remem-
bered that New York had in the
previous months lost some $75,OOO,-
900 of currency withdrawn by the
benks of the West and South, and
could not therefore give such &C.
commodations to business as had
been done in previous years. Bear
ing that in mind, the following ex-
plains the movements that led to
the acute situation of last week. II

The exhibition of feeling against
Col Ainsworth, who was in charge
of the force in the old Ford theatre,
is a very extraordinary develop
ment. The clerks seem to have
hated him. They acknowledge that
they stood in abject fear of him.
We do not understand those rela-
tions. 1t speaks very badly for Col.
Ainsworth, as man, that such
should be the general tenor of SER
timent among the whole force. TIE
strictest martinez is often highly re-
spected and esteemed by his men,
but these men appear to have re-
garded Col. Ainsworth with disfavor
at all points.
They turned on him as if he had
been a murderer, and calling for a
rope threatened to render the bust
ness the coroner's jury was engaged
in a work of proftless supereroga-
tion by hanging the malefactor be-
fore the evidence was in.
It was shocking affair. Col
Ainsworth may be blameworthy; but
we cannot help thinking that the
chief animus against him is because
Of matters foreign to the death o1
the clerks. The crowd wanted tc
hang the Colonel or some othe,
count. They had convicted him or
general principles.
Thus it appears that either the
clerks are bad lot, or that the Col
onel is out of place in control o1
them. It is not to be credited
however much of martinez he ma,
be, or however tyrarnical may bt
his disposition, that he was indiffer
ent to any peril his men might bt
subjected to, for if he were abso
lutely devoid of common humanity
he nevertheless knew that harm t,
his force, arising from his neglect
would be serious blow to himself

NAL. RORRINS.

We are led to hope that some
high Office will soon be conferred
on Maj W. M. Robbins of this State.
He has the ability to fill a post of
distinguished honor and he merits
recognition at the hands of the
present administration. His long
political service on the hustings has
brought him close to the people of
this State. He has ably represented
his constituents in both the legisla-
ture and in Congress, and though
for more than a dozen years he has
not sought public employment, he
has always discharged his full duty
as prominent Democrat by ad-
dressing the people, and he has
rendered the Democratic party con-
tlnued service as wise and patri-
otto leader in its councils.
As meritorious as has been his
entire career, his patriotic conduct
preliminary to the last political con-
fict and during it's continuance
gives him now especial claim to
honorable recognition. When the
current of popular thought was
setting strongly away from Demo-
cratic principles, and the confidence
of the people in our leading men
and in our organization was being
undermined by the insidious arti-
fees of designing demagogues, Maj.
Robbins was the first public man in
the State to seek an opportunity of
addressing the people and ohal-
longing the correctness of the views
they were imbibing. Others may
have seen rs clearly rs he did,
others may have been equally as
patriotic, but the fact remains that
he went forward alone into the vine
yard and manfully undertook the
labor which he thought it incum-
bent on him to perform.
For this the Democratic people
of North Carolina owe him especial
thanks. Nor was it an unimportant
service rendered the National Dem
ocratic organization.
That his action tended largely to
turn the tide and arrest the pro-
gress which the disorganizers were
making is certainly true, and to
that extent Maj. Robbins was in
strumental in preserving the su.
premacy of the party in this State
and in preventing the abandonment
of Democratic principles by the peo
, pie, and the adoption of erroneous
ideas by them.
We think that he therefore de-
: serves well of the administration
and that he ought to be peculiarly
honored, and that any distinction
accorded him should be ascribeo
primarily to the fact that he led tn.
f van in the fight for correct principles
OF Major Robbins fitness for high
: position there is no question. q,
3 is a man of mark, and the press O
the State, as we'll as the whole ar
, ray of our public men, togethe,
with many gentlemen from othe,
, States, have united in requesting
, proper recognition of his faithful
, services. We trust that the wishe
;. of the people Of this State will b
soon gratifed.

Teachers Assembly Notes.

Communicated
The teachers OF music in the
schools throughout the State will
meet at Morehead City next week
to organize a Music Teachers AS
ssociation in connection with the
Assembly work. The programmes
in future sessions of the Assembly
will set apart special Music Day,
all the exercises of which will be in
charge of the Music Association and
will include a grand concert in
which every selection, vocal or in
strumental, will be rendered by
professional teacher.
Members of the Assembly are al
ready gathering at the Atlantic
Hotel and there are now more
guests than ever before so early in
the season.
A great many rooms have been
engaged for members of the Assem-
bly,, and Mr.. Perry is faithfully re-
serving the best of accommodations
for all who apply in advance. A
good number of the Worlds Fair
party will be at Morehead City SO
as to get acquainted with one an
other and talk over the anticipated
pleasures of the trip.
| The Assembly programme is just
from press today and it is replete
with new and valuable features of
educational work, and the scope and
variety OF important subjects dis
cussed have never been excelled.
All the school and college contests
are full of entries and those occa-
sions will bring together many hun
dred friends of each institution rep.
resented.
The work in Physical Culture, by
Miss Carmine Harrison will be OF
the greatest possible value to the
teachers. Miss Harrison is North
Carolina girl, from New Berne, who
by hard work and careful study has
become one of the most expert
teachers in the Swedish system o1
Physical Culture that is to be found
in our country. The instruction
impaired by Miss Harrison will
alone amply repay any ambitious
teacher for the expenses OF the
trip to Morehead City.
| The Association has, by the
courtesy of the rail, oa is, the lowest
rates of fare that are given to any
organization in America, and the
Atlantic Hotel furnish the best
of board and other accommodation
to all who attend the Assembly TO,
only $1.00. day.
