CLEVELAND AND HILL.

The fact that President Cleveland
and Senator Hill broke bread to.
gether on the evening of the Sd in
slant, for the first time in a long
while, has become a matter oil
national gossip and has furnished
ground for much speculation. 1t is
now stated that the serious condition
of the country's finances is the real
cause of the coming together of these
two New York statesmen, who have
for quite awhile been regarded as
antagonists within the Democratic
party.
Telegram sent out from Washing
ton Indicate that the President is
thoroughly awake to the fact that
something must be done to relieve
the depressed financial condition of
the country and realizing that there
will be difficulty in getting needed
legislation through the Senate, he
has summoned Mr.. Hill to champion
the administrations policy in that
body. 1t is stated that Mr.. Hill is in
thorough accord with the President
in this matter and that he will do
everything in his power to bring
about the legislation which must be
had to preserve the Democratic par
ty and the country and avoid an
extra session.
It is limited, in this connection,
chat it win be impossible to pass any
radical currency aaw vt this session.

The state Pension Roll.

From the Wilmington Messenger.
From State Auditor Furman's re-
port for fiscal year ending Both of
November 1894, the statistics are
gathered that show the operations
of the law. North Carolina did so
grandly in the war with its 1Z5 900
men to the front. that it could not
without palpable neglect and gross
ingratitude refuse to make at least
some provision for the MANNED and
the poor, and their widows and
children.
For the year the total issue for
pensions was sos, 1872 00-an in
crease OF $5,S1S 90 over 1898.
There was an increase of 131 pen
sions for the year, but also a de,
crease of %, leaving net increase 80.
Under the present levy of 3b cents on
500 worth of property the fund will
be Sill, BOOT for 1895. The Audi
tor says:
"a tax Of AZ cents on the 500
worth OF property at 'ie present
| assessed valuation, and l3a cents on

pay the soldiers and widows OF
