DoDGING THE MONEY QUESTION

At the last session of Congress Sena-
tor Dubois made himself conspicuous
by his earnest and incessant advocacy
of silver Then he wanted Congress
to pass a silver bill, send it TO the
President, and let the responsibility
for its failure rest on him.
Now he sings a different tune, and
says he does mot believe any special
effort will be made in the direction of
silver during the present session Of
Congress- The wisdom of making Il
prolonged fight with the full kpowl-
edge of its hopelessness," he said, was
much doubted by the silver men, and
it was altogether likely that they
would content themselves with re-
affirming their allegiance to the cause,
rather than prolong the session when
no substantial good possibly could re-
suit"
Mr.. Dubois is the most conspicuous
silver Republican in the country. His
present attitude shows that the Re
publicans are going to dodge the
money question.

FOOT BALL CONTESTS PROHlB-
TIED.

Football contests have recently been
forbidden by the faculties of Wake
Forest and Trinity. Students in these
colleges are still permitted to play on
athletic grounds of these colleges, but
they are not permitted TO go away
from home to play match games
There is little room to doubt that
the action of these colleges We're taken
in response to strong public senti-
ment against the practice. As mat
ter of fact the majority of North Caro-
lima parents have acquiesed in rather
than approved these contests, and the
college authorities have held out long
time in permitting these games before
prohibiting them. This inhibition
does not pass upon the good or bad eff
fects of football. 1t does not condemn
it, but specifically approves it by con
fining it to the college athletic grounds
it NAV be for the reason that good
thing ought to be kept at home.
The objection of the teachers is to
the demoralizing influences of going
away from college TO play. Not the
least of these influences is the habit of
extravaganza and large expenditures
engendered by these excursions. If
there were no temptations to wrong
doing, the expense is sufficient IN a
State like North Carolina to prove a
heavy burden TO those called upon to
meet it.
The faculties of Trinity and Wake
Forest seem to agree with Mr.. Casper
w. Whitney, well known athletic ex-
pert, who wrote in recent issue of
Harper's Weekly:
The state of affairs, not only iii
isolated eases here in the East, but fire.
quently in the South, and almost in
variably in the West. is this year such
that amateur athletics are absolutely
in danger of being exterminated in the
United States if something is not done
to cleanse them. Men are
bought and sold like cattle to play on
strictly amateur college eleyens. :.
When / consider the condition of
affairs this movement over the whole
country in football alone, | am com
PEELED to acknowledge that it is a cri-
ticism of the seyerest kind on the NOR

The presentation of the Confederate
flag to the 32d regiment at Carlisle,
Pa, as described in the sketch of that
regiment published in this issue, was
a conspicuous compliment to a body OF
North Carolina troops, of which our
State should feel proud And it should
also be source of State pride that our
North Carolina troops, as described in
this sketch so admirably by Mr.. Fl. a.

approached nearer to Washington than

STATE BANKS AND PARTY UNITY
OXFORD /. N. G. Dec. s.

OXFORD n. c., Dec. s.
To the Editor:
The writer is entirely in accord with
the editorial expression in the News
and Observer of the 5th inst, to the eff
feet that an insufficient currency is
very deleterious to our weitore, and
would like to submit the following for
consideration to your readers, viz:
That a superfiuity of currency. as
well as a scarcity, are alike adverse to
commercial interests.
That as no more currency can he
forced into circulation than is required
by the demands of trade.
That as the requirements of trade
vary at different seasons OF the year,
therefore no fixed sum will exactly
supply all needs at all times.
That an ideal currency must possess
the elements of safety and elasticity,
and be at hand when wanted, that is
not become congested at the monetary
centers when not in use.
That the first step toward attaining
this end is the repeal of the ten per
cent. tax on State bank notes.
That the notes of State banks, under
proper supervision, would be equally
safe and acceptable everywhere as are
those of national banks.
That they would possess elasticity
equal to all legitimate demands and
automatically adjust themselves to the
fluctuations of trade.
That being in the hands of local in
stitutions, they would both be forth
coming on the spot when wanted and
evenly distributed through the coun-
try, for small banks would spring up
wherever the population and business
would support them.
That in the above is to be found the
basis of Democratic unity now, and the
issue which will result in victory in
1896.

that deputy marshal gave man
money to buy whiskey from Beal, who
had a jug full of whiskey in his wagon
for the use of himself and friends.
1t would have been more fitting to
arrest the marshal for this miserable
practise.
