The News and Observer, one of
the monopoly organs of North Caro-
lima, commenting on the failure of
the Bank of New Hanover, says:
"It is to be deplored that the de-
positors should have wrecked an in
stitution which doubtless would
have been of great uoe to the people,
in these times, if the people had not
wrecked it."
This is just about what we might
expect from such a paper. When
prices are low it says the people are
to blame for either too much laziness
Or too much industry making over
production. When a bank fails,
"the people wrecked it." When the
people fail, they wreck themselves.
No, it will not do to lay any of the
blame to "the best financial system
the world ever saw"

SECRETARY CARLISLE DOES WHAT HE
CAN TO LOOSEN MONEY.

CAN TO LOOSEN MONEY.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 22.-
Secretary Carlisle to-day directed
Treasurer Morgan to anticipate the
payment of the July interest on the
4 per cent. United States bonds aud
the Pacific railroad bonds. Checks
in payment of the interest will be
placed in the mail Saturday after
noon and all the sub-treasuries in
the United States will be instructed
to cash them on presentation. The
total interest on both classes of bonds
aggregates $7,534,0 900, of which ST.
100000 is for the Pacific railroad
bonds and $5,634,000 for the 4 per
cent bonds.
This action of Secretary Carlisle
is taken to relieve the tightness in
the money centres"
"Anticipated the interest" That
is new way of giving the people
'relief." The people are in debt
and are hard up for money, so We
will give the people "relief" by fore
ing them to pay the interest on their
debts before the interest is even due.
Great financiering that. Let every
mortgaged farmer try it and see how
much relief it gives-the other fell
low. Well that is just what Carlisle
did, he gave the bondholders "relief'
to the tune of seven and half mil
lion dollars, while the people footed
the bill.
Since the election, we have seen
the suffering politicians, who loved
the dear down -trodden people SC
during the campaign, getting gre,
lief in the shape of fat offices; and
now we see the poor oppressed bond
holders getting relief by having the
peoples taxes paid to them in inter
est before it is due, but the people
who needed the relief are 'not in it. ,

| There is good deal of talk and won.
der as to just what the meaning of all
this fashion tyranny is, and very few
| people seem to comprehend the main
spring Of the situation. 1t is purely
commercial affair. There are in all com
mercial centers men and women whose
business it is to originate novelties and
modify existing styles so that they shall
have the effect of novelty.
There is q sort of understanding, a
kind of fellowship, among all of these
people. Ii is agreed that each one shall
to some extent, play into the others hand,
and some day some one strikes an idea.
OF course it is necessary to have the Co
operation of these others in order to make
it go. This is secured without difficulty,
and then comes the task of making every
thing conform to this one central idea.
1t is often the case when some eccen-
tric novelty is to be put out that exist
ing styles are so taken out Of the mar
ket, broken mp or changed that it is
scarcely possible to refuse the one thing
that is brought out. Everything else is
made to accord with it, and the fashion
is therefore to a certain extent forced
upon the women of the community.
They do not know it, of course. If they
did, they would be much less likely to
accept it, but they find it, and nothing
else is as convenient and manageable.
All of the persons interested in the
new style have their families and friends
who adopt the idea, or on some plea or
other some royalty or leading actress is
persuaded to lend her influence in its
favor. Of course it starts, and it's the
old story. If one sheep jumps over the
fence, the rest follow. And this is the
way that some of the atrocious fashions
become popular,-New York Ledger.

Landed a Big Bass by Horsepower.

Matthias Ketchera, hostler of the Seal
Rock House on the ocean beach, has
caught the largest sea bass that the coast
has seen for many long day. 1t is
Ketchera's business to rise early each
morning, and hitching horse to a wagon
patrol the sands for couple of hours in
search of driftwood.
When he has collected his daily pile,
he returns to the hotel. unhitches his
horse and awaits customers. But Ma
thias, or Mike, as he is more Familiarity
termed, has other callings. He is the
''lone fisherman" of the beach. Every
one knows him, for he is famous. Each
day as he scours the beach for wood he
takes a long line with him, which he
throws out into the sea and awaits re-
suits. A few days ago he got more than
he bargained for.
Matthias had scarcely thrown his line
when, to his establishment, it was pulled
from his grasp. He had some to spare,
however, and grasping anew endeavored
to land his prize. Soon the jumpings
and writings of large object came to
his vision, and Matthias concluded that
he had hooked some sea monster.
Pull as he would he could not haul in
his line. Then his inventive genius as
serted itself. Hastily making fast the
line to the axletree of the cart he yelled
for his horse Pompey to "getp Pompey
got. The result was that the prize was
landed and proved to be an enormous
sea bass.
Matthias put his catch into his wagon
and started for home. There his fish
was weighed. 1t proved to be A feet

caught ON that part of the coast.-Sar

The Grand Naval Review.

We are all glad and proud that our
country is so large, and there are those
who hope to live till they see it bigger
yet. But there are always few incon-
veniences attached to greatness of every
kind, and one of our inconvenience just
now is the impossibility of even thou
sandth part of the people of this great
country seeing the magnificent naval pa
geant which will be displayed the last
days of this month all the way from
Hampton Roads to New York hmbor.
April 81 the vessels will perform their
evolutions in New York bay and the Hud-
son river.
The old countries of Europe are SO
glad Columbus discovered America and
gave them a spot on which to dump their
surplus population that they will join
heartily in the review, proceeding to
Hampton Roads for that purpose. The
first to arrive on the ground was the
Russian flagship Dmitri Douskoi, and
she gave a salute at Fortress Monroe
which included one gun for almost every
thousand Jews we have taken off the
cars hands. Brazil and Argentina will
be represented, because on their part
they are SO glad Columbus discovered
continent where great republics could
be founded and every man of common
blood, il he had brains, could have a
fighting chance for the best this world
has to give. Yes, the guns ought to
boom long and loud, over the waters and
through the hills. Let the eagle scream!
More than 40 war vessels will partici-
pate in the review, besides scores of small
craft. The largest vessel built for trav-
Ell will be the monster British protected
cruiser Blake, 5000 tons. There, too,
will be the quaint little "caravels" Santa
Maria, Pinta and Nina, built in imitation
of the vessels constituting the feet Of
Columbus. Eight of our new cruisers, all
named for cities in this Union, will take
part, besides the combined dynamite
cruiser and harbor defense vessel, the
Vesuvius. 1t is safe to say that the We
suvius will be the ship of the American
navy which will attract the most atten-
ton from foreigners, she being of type
that is unique. The flagship will be the
Philadelphia, and in this Admiral Che
rardi will lead all the rest, home and
foreign. Our gunboats Yorktown, Con-
cord and Bennington will also be in the
show.
The grandest sight of all will be wit
messed in New York harbor. There all
the ships will draw up in two lines. Be
tween them will pass the hinge monitor
Miantonomoh, having on board Presi-
dent Cleveland, and as he passes each
vessel will fire a salute until 800 guns
have burned their powder in honor of
this glorious republic and its president.
1t stirs the blood to think of the booming
guns, the waving flags, the splendid ships.

Choctaw Troubles.

The two political parties in the Choc-
taw nation, southeast corner of the In
dian Territory, have shown their capac-
lily for the white mans statehood.
They prepared to fight for their respect
I've rights, as contending parties in some
of the sovereign states of the Union
have done. The treaty made in 1855,
however, between the United States on
the one hand and the Choctaws and
Chickasaws on the other provides that
the United States shall protect the two
nations from internal disorder as well as
outside attacks. In pursuance of the
right given by the treaty our govern
ment has sent regular soldiers to keep
the peace.
There are two political parties among
the Choctaws-the conservative, called
the National, and the Progressive. The
National party wants to draw the tribal
line sharply and discriminate against
negroes and outsiders of all kinds. Be
tween red, white and black the Nation
ais decide in favor Of red and against
white and black in the matter of priv
ileges of residence, citizenship and trad
ing. The Progressives, on the other
hand, encourage a generous policy of
immigration and citizenship. Their in
fiuence has been so strong in the national
councils that some years ago citizens
rights were given to the negro men
among the Choctaws.
Since 1890 the Progressives have been
victorious at the polls. W. w. Jones has
been twice elected governor, but last
August the Nationals made fight over
the counting Of the votes. This is the
origin of the present trouble. The votes
were counted again at the council of the
nation in October, and the Office again
was given to Governor Jones. In the
bitter quarrel Immediately following the
election in August four Progressives
were assassinated by Nationals. Ever
since then there has been imminent dan
ger of pitched battle until the United
States troops were sent. to keep the
peace. Several Nationals were arrested
for the murder of the Jones men. Il
was in the attempt to arrest others thai
the battle took place at the house of Dicl
Locke, a National. The arresting ant

The rumor is being industriOusly
circulated that the school directors of
the Bay cities are discussing the propo-
sition of general reduction Of salaries,
in order to curtail expenses and put
the two school districts on as economi-
cal a footing as possible. Doubtless
the gentlemen filling the important
duties of school director have given
the subject more earnest consideration
than those on the outside, and will not
pursue such a measure without being
guided by their best judgment in the
matter, and yet it must seem to every
close observer, and especially to those
who have children attending the
schools, that economy in this direction
might prove more expensive inlthe end
than the payment of a sufficiently high
salary to command the best talent that
can be obtained in the line of teaching.
The state is very exacting in its de-
mands upon those making application
to teach, the requirements growing
more and more severe each year, and
necessitating considerable preparation
and ability in order to obtain certifi-
Gates, and to place the remuneration
at lower figure than that paid
elsewhere on the coast, can have
but the effect of driving away
the very ones upon whom we depend
to give our public schools that degree
of efficiency required and to maintain
the high standard which we have here
tofore enjoyed. 1t has been stated,
with what degree Of accuracy the HER.
AID is not able to say, that the reduc.
tions made in the salaries of the teach.
ers last year have had material effect
upon the present years work, and that
the results are not as flattering to either
the teachers OF their pupils as in the
preceding year. There is doubtless
some exaggeration in such statement
the present corps ofteachers on the Bay
being very efficient and faithful in.
structors, and yet it cannot be denied
that competent and desirable teachers
will not find much of an inducement tc
seek employment IN our schools if the
impression once gets abroad that oul
directors suffer from an annual desire
to use the pruning knife in the salary
department.
