DamagIng a ohIneso laundry.

The Delaware street Chinese laundry
man has been Of late very much annoyed
by the bad boys about town. They bolt
into his place Of business on Delaware
street and play all kinds of games on
him. On Wednesday night several we'll
known youths were in his laundry vex-
ing him. After they went out one of
them threw a turnip through one Of the
window panes. John II. Pedrick, the
owner of this property, now declares
that be will bring suit against the city
for damages If this business does not
cease. The laundryman claims to know
three boys and will make their parents
pay for their malicious mischief If II does
not come to a close.

Under the above caption the New

following communication addressed
to its editor:
"In your paper of this day you
refer to intolerance as being the
cause of the backwardness of edu-
cation at the present day in North
Carolina.
I think you do North Carolinas
schools and teachers an injustice.
See what North Carolina boys have
done this year:
At West Point, Howell took first
honors in general merit, and john
ston won the distinction of being
the best soldier. At Yale a North
Carolina boy took first honors in
scholarship. No student at Har-
ward did better than W. J. Battle
of the postgraduate department.
At the medical schools of Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, North Caro-
linians are found among the best
men, and at Johns Hopkins they
take highest honors.
These are instances coming under
the writer's limited observation. A
glance at the lists Of honor men OF

was tremendous.

LIBERTY BELL DAY.
A Great Celebration Arranged for the
Fourth of July.

A Great Celebration Arranged for the
Fourth of July.
CHICAGO, June 21.-In pursuance
of resolutions introduced in the
City Council about three weeks ago,
Chicago will have a gala day at the
Worlds Fair. The event will be
known to future generations as
Liberty Bell Day." and the time
fixed for the celebration is July 4th.
In general way the arrange
ments for the occasion are already
completed. They include the pa
geant of military parade, the vo-
tive offering Of the city's school
children, speeches by leading ora
tors, music, and over the whole will
be sort of hale of glory for Chi
cago that will make it conspicuous
among the cities of the world. How
far the plans conceived can be car
ried out is, of course, as yet un-
known, but from present indications
Liberty Bell Day" will exceed in
interest any observance thus far
held in the White City.
The "Song of Liberty Bell' was
especially written for the occasion,
and the person who will sing it has
not yet been chosen. The addresses
by Gov. Altgeld, Mayor Harrison
and President Palmer will each be
limited to ten minutes. The poem
"Liberty Bell" will be read by the
daughter of the author. Chairman
McDowell's dedication of the bell
which is being cast in the East from
various relics contributed by people
who have struggled in the interest
of freedom, will be accompanied by
fitting ceremonies Col. McClure'e e
address will be the feature of the
day. It will be so timed as to lead
up to climax, at IL o'clock, at
which time a signal will be given,
and the Star-Spangled Banner will
be run up to the top Of the Admin
istration Building. AS soon as the
breeze has caught its folds the lib
erty bell will give utterance to its
first notes, and every gun in the
harbor will belch forth thunde,
of response. The bells of the city
will take up refrain, and will pea
forth for some time.
Arrangements are now in pro
gress and will be completed in 6
few days by which the public bells
in all the great cities in the United
States will ring at II o'clock Chi
cago time. The key note viii
thus be pitched in Chicago and the
music will be taken up the country
over.
The idea of this celebration al
over the land was taken from {
Christmas story on the Columbian
Exposition, written by W. T. Steai
and printed in the Review Of Re
views, in which it was said that tht
issue fairly and squarely before
mankind and marked by the expo
sition was whether or not the tim'
had come for the United States O
America to displace Great Britain
from the leadership of the nation
of the earth, and whether the cen
tre of power of the English speak
ing people should be Washingto,
or London. In recognition of
prophecy Of Mr.. Stead's it was de
cided that the bells of the Unite,
States should join in union with tn
Columbian Liberty Bell July 4 il
marking, for the six months of tn
fair Chicago as the capital OF tn
world.

The PROPER ACTION,

Elk Senator Edmunds, who favors
the use Of silver money, suggests
that a new ratio of coinage value be
fixed, which he thinks would remain
for twenty years at least. He says
that "he has been at loss to know
what can be done if the next Con-
gress repeals the Sherman act"
AS matter of fact whether the
Sherman act is repealed or not, Is
matter of moonshine SO far as the
present condition of the United
States is concerned.
The Secretary of the Treasury
finding several months ago that the
Treasury was losing gold very rap
idly made the mistake of attributing
that fact to the Sherman act; but
now, while that act still remains in
operation, Mr.. Carlisle has the salts
faction of seeing gold begin to flow
back to the United States. His in
terest in the repeal Of that act will
hereafter be only theoretical.
The trouble with the country
however, is not theoretical; it is q
dearth of currency. Now it is boot
less to enquire why-the fact stares
us in the face. What is needed is
to impart some elasticity to the
currency.
The speediest relief is to be OBJ
tanned by permitting the banks to
deposit good bonds-State and Ma
tional, in the United States Treas
ury, increase their circulation on
that basis. This is no time for
swapping horses. We are in the
middle of the stream and should
do quickly what can be done to ex-
tricate the country from the peril
that is plainly in view.
Theoretically we have discussed
this matter of the want OF elasticity
in the currency ever since the pan
ic of 1878 when the Government
threw out $25, 1000, 900 of groenbacki
to meet that emergency. Now w
have practical exempli6cation o.
the theory.
The country needs a considerable
increment to the circulating me
dunn, and the relief SHOULD be Civ
en- Immediately. The quickest wa,
is through the National Banks
Nor must we take the cue from
New York. Modern Gotham is in
tensely selfish. There is no way t
bring that city to it's senses bnt TO
the banks in the provinces to dc
mand their deposits which have fo
thirty years enriched that commu
nifty. The country banks it is tru
have already called for $3.50. 100000
of their deposits, and New York ha
curtailed her loans nearly to tht
amount. As we said a month ag'
let this process continue, unit
Modern Gotham shall come to
realizing sense of the situation
When that is done, her voice wi
perhaps be heard in advocacy
proper financial measures.
But whether 30 or not, the Pres
dent should at once convene Co
gress and that body should, witho,
delay, arrange for an increase
currency, simultaneously from Il
three thousand points where N
tional banks are situated throug
out the entire Union. New York

THE BANK OF NEW HANOVER.
Mr.. Junius Davis Appointed Receiver
by Judge Conner.

Mr.. Junius Davis Appointed Receiver
by Judge Conner.
Wilmington Messenger.
A bill in equity in behalf of
Holmes and Waters, grocers OF this
city, and all other creditors of the
Bank of New Hanover, against the
Bank of New Hanover and Junius
Davis, Esq, assignee of the same,
has been filed in the Office of Col.
John D. Taylor, Clerk of the Supe-
rior Court of New Hanover county.
This bill alleges that the Bank of
New Hanover is insolvent; that it
has made a general assignment of
all it's property to Junius Davis, Esq
tnat said assignment was invalid
under the law of North Carolina;
and that there is reasonable ground
OF apprehending that many of the
smaller creditors of the bank would
get Judgment against the bank, and
sell it's property at a sacrifice, and
to the great injury of the general
creditors; that the assets of the de.
fendant bank are trust fund which
in law and in equity ought to be dis
tributed ratably by the court for
the benefit of all the creditors of
the bank.
| On the aforesaid bill of equity,
application was made before his
Honor Judge Connor at Wilson on
Monday afternoon for the appoint.
ment of a receiver of all the prop
erty of the Bank of New Hanover.
After hearing the argument Judge
Connor set aside the assignment
and granted the petition of the
plaintiffs. He thereupon appointed
Junius Davis, Esq as receiver, and
required of him bond of $4,000
conditioned for the faithful per.
Torrance of all his duties as recel7.
er. The bond of Mr.. Davis was ex.
| ecuted, approved and filed before
COL Jno. D. Taylor, Clerk of the
Superior Court, at his Office at the
court house in this city on yester'
day afternoon.
George Rountree, Esq, appeared
for the plaintiffs and Iredell Meares
Esq, for the defendants.
THE SIT UAT1oN.
Beyond the appointment Of the
receiver, it might be said that the
situation with regard to the sus
pended bank of New Hanover is un
changed. Some of the bank officers
declare its assets to be in good con
dition and they are confident tina
the depositors will be paid in full
? with even showing for the stock
holders. Many of the depositor'
| are also confident, but many O
them have no hope of getting more
than fifty cents on the dollar. I
may as we'll be said, however, tina
. the whole thing is but a matter O
speculation and simply nobod,
knows what the depositors will ge
out of the wreck, ii it can be 81
