The English people have a deep seated
love for their old churches and cathedrals,
and they spend money lavishly for their
preservation. In the last 90 years not less
than $40, 900, 600 has been expended in the
restoration of these edifloes, and this does
not include any sum below 1900.
In London alone eSO0 600 has been thus
spent. In addition so, 600, 900 has been
devoted in the country at largo to the cree
ton of new churches Another notable
fact is that most OF the money raised for
these purposes has been derived from pri-
vate gifts.-London Letter.

NO BREAK IN FUSION.

The Republican and Populist State
Senators and the chairmen Of the
Republican and Populist Executive
Committees and the Populist mem
bers of the House of Repre- sentatives
in Cleveland county have issued a
formal statement, published in another
column, declaring that it sis essential
FOR the welfare of the State and the pre-
servation of the laws passed by the Leg
islature that we have continuation of
co operation between the Republicans
and Populists next year in North Caro-
lima. They declare further that the
Republicans are entitled to the Gov
ernor and that Judge Russell, of Will
mington, ought to be the fusion nomi-
nee.
This is no chance endorsement. 1t
comes from prominent Republicans and
Populists who are in close touch with
the leaders. A short time ago, Mr.. For
tune visited Judge Russell in Whining
ton. 1t is probable that he was there
when Butler and Skinner were there to
confer with Russell and other Republi-
cans. AT any rate, nobody who knows
them will believe that Fortune and
Hamrick have issued this manifesto
without consultation with their leaders.
1t is the beginning of the cut and dried
programme to nominate Russell, bitter
and malignant old time Republican, for
Governor, and the official announcement
that fusion will continue in 1896.
While all this is going on in Cleveland
county, Butler is trying to convey the
impression among Democrats with whom
he talks that his party is anxious to join
forces with the Democrats, telling them
that the Republicans are mostly gold
bugs, and he prefers Democratic cooper
alton. If Butler was in earnest in his
criticism of Republicans for their advo-
cacy of gold, and had any devotion to
principle, he would never have fused
with them last year, or he would, now
that he has received his price, openly
renounce all connection with them in the
future.
Fusion will continue until the people
rise superior to the politicians, and
smash it in thousand pieces. They can be
depended upon to do this sooner or later.
The fellows who have ''put money in
their purse" by endorsing fusion, viii
never agree to drop it until the masses
drop them.

$500 in Gold browns a Man.

AT the burning of a steamboat ON the Hud-
son river forty years ago, many of the pas
sengers were drowned. Among the bodies
brought up from the bottom of the river by
graphing was that of man known to have
been an excellent swimmer. Around his
waist was belt containing nearly $500 in
gold. That told the story

ran, proprietor of the Hickory Inn. The
Inn stands on the site of residence oc-
cupied years ago by Ex-Collector Kope

eral troops went to Hickory the Elias
family silverware was buried in the gar
den. The point of concealment was for
gotten and search for the silver was
fruitIess.
Recently while workmen were makirg
excavations near the Inn they unearthed
ten or twelve silver spoons which bear
the Elias family initial and which have
been in the ground for more than thirty
years. -Asheville Citizen.

BONDS ANDTHEGoLD RESERVE.

In a recent issue of the Concord Stan
dard, there appeared an editorial relating
to the issuing of bonds to maintain the
gold reserve, and this question was
asked
Does the editor of the Raleigh NEWS
AND OBSERVER believe, if the views and
principles chose he espouses relative to
the solution and correction of the finan-
cial troubles) become laws in their fullest
and completest meaning and scope, that
the government officials would not be
compelled to again issue bonds to pro-
tect the reserve fund or to maintain the
credit of the United States or to make
its promises to the people goodI
/. There is no statute requiring the
maintenance of a gold reserve. When,
as Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Sher-
man began the line of policy looking to
perpetuation of the gold standard, he
put aside one hundred million dollars in
gold which he called "the gold reserve. "
Though the amount of Treasury notes in
existence had been much larger than at
that time, no gold reserve had ever be-
fore been deemed necessary, and none
had been necessary.
2. There being no law for the
''gold reserve" there is likewise no law
that requires the sale of bonds to keep
up the reserve. In the last Congress
the Judiciary Committee of the House of
Representatives prepared an able paper in
support of the position that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury had no legal
right to issue bonds. The bonds are is
sued under the old resumption act of 1875,
and by strained construction of that
Act
g. The obligations of the government
are all payable in coin at the option of
the government. AS long as we pay our
debts according to the written letter of
the contract it cannot be justly said that
we are not preserving the faith and
credit of the government.
The government has made mo
promises to the people" except its bonds
and its various notes. and none of them,
except the gold notes, are payable in
gold. The coin five dollar notes contain
this contract on their face: "The United
States of America will pay to bearer five
dollars in CON-" The silver certificates
contain this stipulation: "This certifes
that there has been deposited in the
Treasury of the United States five silver
dollars payable to bearer" The Treas
ury notes, 'greenbacks", have this
PROMISE "The United States viii
pay the bearer five dollars" The
bonds of the government are payable in
any kind of money.
1t is therefore seen that there is no OBJ
legation of the government payable in
gold; no authority CT law for gold re-
serve; 10 clear legal warrant to issue
bonds; and no need to do any of these
things to preserve the contracts and
credit of the government. The bonds
having been issued to preserve the gold
standard, the necessity Of further issue
is done away with when debts and notes
are paid according to the contract, and
not according to the selfish demand of
the creditor.
