 Exactly. Fife and two or thrce other girls were visiting a friend in Evanston last month, and this young man proceeded to make himself agreeable to them all-not a very difficult thing to do either. for he was sole poSsessor of a horse and buggy"

An Interesting Theatrical Event.

One of the most interesting events of the present theatrical session is the revival of the "Amorita" by the Calhoun Opera Company. This opera had a most successful run at the New York Casino, that popular home of comic opera, and subse- quently visited the larger cities where it received continued patro- mage of a most substantial character.
 This season its production met with instant and grand success, a proof of its popularity.
 Great pains has been taken in the staging of the piece, and no expense has been spared in the scenery and costumes.
 The company and opera will re- ceive, in all probability, a hearty reception upon their appearance at the opera house.

DURHAM GRADED SCHOOL.

Literature. common schools, cduca-

of he Durham city schools. The com

we would measure the spiritual force
Of amy community we must examine
the contents of the common schools.
The stock market is not a more deli
cate register of the financial pulse fhan

The Durham city schools are contin-
ually moving forward. 'Superiuteud-

are awake as regards public schools
and their needs. The Durham schools
have the most complete system OF

They are the only schools having a
course in Mammal Training In the
zeal for industrial education they do
not overlook the importance of litera-
ture. Every child above the second
grade is provided with the best read

ture. not what some person wrote
about some book
Yesterday the schools observed
Whittier Memorial Day. The pro-

written by Whittier, essays. Prof.
Mimms, OF Trinity College, delivered
an instructive address on American
Literature. The pupils We're greatly
inspired as they listened to the beauti-
full, sublime thoughts Of the speaker.
Prof. Mimms is preparing a course
in English for secondary schools,
which will be welcomed by the schools
of North Carolina.
The spiritual element in our ednca-
ton will be found in literature, and
most effectively in American itera-

n noble work for Durham.

The board of aldermen met in their
regular semi-monthIy session Monday,
all being present except Mr.. T. II. Mar
tin. Considerable routine business
was transacted.
The most important matter, or what
seemed to attract most attention was
the election of a policeman to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of w.

cants and nearly every one seemed to
be fairly confident of success. But
only one could be taken while the 9th
ers had to be left. Since the advent of
the present administration Charlie
Warren has been acting as supply in
case of sickness or other necessary alb
sence of any member of the regular
force. lie was chosen to fill the va
cancy.
In accordance with precedent
Christmas donation OF $40 to each
member Of the Golden Belt and indie
pendent hose companies and SIS to
each member of the Excelsior Hook
and Ladder company was made.
The section upon which w. W. Aus
tin was buried was donated to his fam
lily and all funeral expenses paid.
The enlarging of the fire district was
considered and acted upon. The
boundaries were made as follows: Be

gold than the figures stamped upon 1t,
gold being the money basis after 1884.
That is, fractional coins stamped to the
value of one dollar were worth from
s1.02 to s104. and, therefore, went from
the mint to the melting pot, and from
the melting pot to Europe. where the
ratio was 151z to l, and where, conse-
quently. the silver in our standard dol
lar was worth from s1.03 10 s1.04. For
that reason the fractional coinage be-
tween the years 1884 and 1853 did not
stay in the country or add to the circu-
lation. The act of 1853 was passed. re-

WHERE THE GOLD GOES.

The New York World devotes an arti-
Gle to showing where the gold of the
treasury has gone. 1t calls attention
to the fact that Secretary Carlisle, in
his report of Dec. 70. 1893 asked
Congress for permission to sell short
time. low-rate bonds up to $500. 900 900,
adding that "he be permitted to use,
from time to time, such part of the pro-
ceeds as may be necessary to supply
any deficiency in the public revenue
that may occur during the fiscal years
1894 and 1896" Again, en- Jan. Is, 1894,
Secretary Carlisle wrote the chair
man OF the Senate finance committee,
pointing out that during the preceding
six months the revenues had fallen
1885. 044 short of expenses. and that as
a consequence the gold reserve had run
down to $74.O0O.O00 Then he added:
Il is evident from the condition Of the
treasury that the department will have no
means 10 defray the ordinary expenses OF
the government unless large part of the
payments are hereafter made out of that
fund. II this is done the coin reserve will
be reduced by the 1st of February to about
Sj6.601, S64, a sum wholly inadequate for the
purposes for which II was created
This request was not granted by the
Democratic Congress. which passed the
present tariff law. Probably the Sec
rotary, after the change in the tariff
law, could not bring himself to make
a recommendation which would be a
confession that the Democratic tariff
had failed to give the requisite revenue,
and so continued to put out bonds to get
gold for the gold reserve. to be expended
for current expenditures. The Worlds
closing sentence is that about $685.
100000 of the gold received for bonds
has been used to make good a revenue
deficiency, as anybody can see who can
add and subtract simple figures for
himself
The Journal has thought that any
one who could add and subtract fig
ures' could see that the gold received
for the bonds went to pay the current
expenses of the government, but Ii
seems that the President and a very
limited number of the cuckoo press can
not see so simple thing. 1t remains to
be seen il Secretary Carlisle, in his
forthcoming report, can see, from what
has transpired, the result he predicted
. two years ago.

NO CAUSE For SURPRISE.

No one who has been watching the
drift of our foreign trade should be sur
prised to learn from a dispatch, which
doubtless comes from treasury officials,
that the condition of exchange is such
that large Withdrawals of gold from
the reserve may be expected the first
Of the year. We have sold less mer>
chandise abroad, while we have pur-
chased more than in recent years. The
balance of trade is against us, and if
there is no exchange to be purchased,
gold must be sent to pay what we owe.
That is the reason why gold is needed.
This is realization of the prediction
made when the Democrats opened our
markets to easy competition under the
lower and fraud-encouraging ad va
loren duties. That us the main cause
for the condition of exchange and the
demand for gold to pay foreigners for
foreign goods.
The dispatch further states that the
$751;. 100000 realized from the sale of
bonds has been expended in paying the
current expenses of the government
and that but for these bond sales the
treasury would now be absolutely emp
ty. The deficit since Mr.. Cleveland
started his anti protection policy
amounts to s13O.OOO,OOO If there had
been surplus collected these legal-ten-
der notes need not have been paid out
for current expenses. There being a
deficit, it was necessary.
The treasury authorities are again
telling the country that there will be a
slight surplus at the end of the present
month. These promises are futile. A
surplus of million dollars is of little
account. What is wanted is a surplus
which will enable the treasury to build
up the gold reserve from its receipts
and to hold the greenbacks which
1t redeems. Under such conditions the
gold held by banks and which is hoard
ed would be brought forth to pay the
penalty of the Democratic tariff policy
a large hostile balance of trade.

A FALSE IMPRESSION CORRECTED.

In the December number of the North
American Review ex-Secretary of State
John w. Foster has an article relating
to the Boring sea arbitration, designed
to be an argument in favor of that
method for settling international difficult
ties, but of greater interest to the gen.
eral reader because IL corrects several
current errors regarding the response
bility for the position assumed in the
arbitration of those differences at Paris
in 1893. The most important OF these
errors Is the very general belief that the
Harrison administration raised the issue
upon which this government was finally
defeated in the tribunal. During the
last session of Congress Mr.. McCreary.
of Kentucky. in a speech supporting the
Gresham proposition to pay s425.00 as

an sealers. tainted the Republicans
