Some curious balls of hair, rolled up
by the action of the waves, have been
collected by NJ Forel, on the beach of

published the following defense: "His
poverty is a monument of glory to North
Carolina, and it is an everlasting proof
of Senator Ransom S stainless honor and
unimpeachable integrity. How many
men have become rich in the senate dur
ing Senator Ransom's term there? Is it
not cherished glory of this proud state
that, with thousands of opportunities,
Ransom, North Cardinals peerless son,
has passed through the fire free from
dross and actually and positively too
poor to pay his debts?''
Senator Ransom is SO years old, and
was born in Warren county, N. G. He
was graduated at the University of
North Carolina in 1847, studied law
and was admitted to the bar. In 1859
he was elected attorney general of North

INCONSISTENCIES.

The following article taken from the
Chicago Times, is an excellent illustra-
ton of the Inconsistencies which occas-
ionally come to the surface in the ac-
tons of public men. It says:
6tatesmanship at Washington takes
curious shoots. Congressman who are
the theory that it Is the duty of the ma
ton particularly to foster manufactures
stand appalled, at 3 suggestion of state
socialism, yet protective tariff is an es-
sential of such socialism. Statesmen of
the same kind reprobate the idea that
the government of the United States
should extend its operations in the direc-
ton of the postal service SO as to include
the more rapid message by wire. They
repeat that this would be socialism. They
object to it as paternaIism, but they never
fail to give their voice for bounties to
steamship companies. They affect horror
at the principle involved in government
ownership of telegraph lines on the land
and are found eager to appropriate the
public moneys for cable from the Pa
cific coast to the Hawaiian islands. Re-
publieans in congress to q man, and some
Democrats. are in favor of an appropria-
ton of 100000 as a mere entering
wedge for the construction of this cable.
Ahey are 0nu0aVoEAnE 10 lack IL on w
every appropriation bill now pending,
ready to fight for it as if it were a life
and death affair. But government tel
sgraph on land would be the adoption of
vicious socialistic ideasl
The Times makes the very common
mistake of confusing the terms paternal-
lam and socialism, or regarding them as
one aud the same thing. when in fact
they are Numerically opposed to each
| other. Paternalism involves the extern
sion of special benefits and privileges to
class, while socialism involves the ex-
tension of the same benefits to all alike
There might be some difficulty in de-
terming where one begins and the other
leaves of under our present form of
government.

CONCERNING the proposed interna-

very sensibly says;
Now, We warn our readers, in spite of
all that has been said on the subject.
that there is not the slightest ground for
hoping that Great Britain will surrender
the vast advantages which the single
gold standard gives to her ruling class,
and which have been practically doubled
by the cooperation of the Cleveland adj
ministration with the foreign enemies of
the republic. For more than twenty
years Great Britain has been endeavor-
lag to secure cheap clothes and cheap
bread for her impoverished workingmen,
and now, having accomplished that by
cooperation with the Cleveland admin
istration, there is no likelihood that she
will take any step whatsoever In the di-
rection of surrendOring the fruits of the
victory she has just achieved-fruits that
are of inestimable value to her.
As a matter of fact. Great Britain has
just succeeded ia forcing her policy of
gold monometaIlism on the policy of the
United States.
Let any honest man pause and ask
himself what interest Great Britain has
In procuring cheap cotton, cheap wheat,
and cheap corn. If the whole truth does
not instantly flash upon his mind he may
conclude that his information needs to
be strengthened, or that something is
wrong with his thinking apparatus.
Great Britain has no other interest in
American affairs than to get our pro-
ducts as as low price as possible. She
has secured this great boon by working
upon the ignorance or the venality OF
