OPENING OF THE NEW Chill
DRFN'S WARD"

The daintiest, cosiest little room in
town is the new Children's Ward at
the Rex Hospital. Octagon in shape
and painted a rich brown, with lighter
trimmings, the new building stands
just to the left of the Hospital to
which it is connected. Four of the
whitest iron bedsteads with shining
brass knobs are arranged in the four
wards, the beds spread with spotless
linen.
The walls are grayish-blue in tint,
a shade that is restful to the eye, and
the many windows let in food of
light from seven sides of the room. The
furniture is in antique oak, handsome
and comfortable. A charming little
room it is, spotless in it's purity, and
artistic in its simple harmony.
The new ward was completed yester-
day, and in due form turned over to
the hospital authorities. This addi-
ton to the hospital (that is a chill
dren's hospital in itself is due entirely
to Miss Sadie Tucker. With the force
of real enterprise and the spirit Of
true charity, she has raised all money
necessary, has had this handsome little
building erected and furnished, and
now presents it complete to the hos
pital authorities And the poor chill
dren Of North Carolina are blessed
by her noble unselfishness.
Col. and Mrs Benehan Cameron have
endowed one of the cots in memory of
their little son who died last year,
Paul Darlington Cameron. An excel
tent portrait Of him hangs near the
cot endowed in his memory.
Miss Mildred Cameron, of Hillsboro,
has furnished one of the cots in mem
orY OF her aunts who are dead, Miss
Mildred Cameron and Mrs. George
Mordecai.
Miss Tucker will be glad to receive
any subscriptions for the maintenance
of the ward. In all the catalogue Of
charities there is no worthier one than
this.
To-day IS reception day at the hos
pistal, and all who are interested will
he welcomed To the new ward.

According to the February stateme.r

crease of nearly S24,H0c 600. The cir
culation per head of population is
stated at $s2.4f, or ebout two dollars
less than it was July /, 1899. Yet there
is no complaint of a scarcity of clrculn
ton.
The amount of gold coin in circula,
ton is stated at $499,262,6S6 or abou,
s7.0oO,0cO less than it was a year age.
While there is a decrease as compared
with last year, there Is an increase
as compared with previous years, the
largest total at any former time hav-
ing been S495.a76,730. July i, 1894.
There has been an increase, interrupted
at times but fairly continuous. ever
since the resumption of specie pay
ments in 1870, when the amount brought
into circulation was about $1Io,500,o coo,
according to the treasury department
estimate,
During the period of suspension be-
ginning in 1852 and ending January l,
1879, there was no gold inactive circula-
ton in this country except on the Pa.
cific coast. The amount in circulation
there, including subsidiary silver, Ia
estimated at $25,000,000, without
change for the entire period. 1t is OBJ
yious that this unchanging estimate
for n region continually growing in
population and wealth is not to be ac-
oepted implicitly.
The total estimated amount of geld
coin in the country plus bullion in the
treasury on the list inst, was s613, $685..
42o. Comparing with table showing
the estimated stock ut the beginning OF
each fiscal year since 1878, this is thu
smallest total since 1886, excepting ia
1893, when the total stock was reduced
to $s0y, 1897. 6S5. The stock of gold
reached the maximum of Sos, S1S,s55.
July /, 1888. The total July /, 1879, six
months after resumption, was Sa45,741,-
S37. The Increase in nire years, there.
fore, was $460, or ,01S, or nearly S51, $780,
900 year on the average. Since 1883
we have lost So2,510,435, or over $14,-
100000 year on the average.
We had no difficulty in obtaihing gold
to meet our Increasing currency re-
quirements Until after we had choked
the channels of circulation with great
mass of cheap silver. Then the supply
of gold in our circulation not only
ceased 10 grow, but began 10
diminish with intermissions ever since.
We have heaped up inferief money only
to lose the best hibney and to inflict
enormous losses upon the people of the
country. We have been paying dearly

CHEAP MONEY ROUTED.
A . Result improvement In Trade q
Anticipated.

Anticipated.
Most reassuring was the vote in the
house of representatives Friday refus.
ing to concur ia the senate's free silver
amendment to the bond bill. The vote
stood 215 to 90-a highly authoritative
exposition of the sentiment of this
country against free silver. After such
O vote there is no occasion to doubt
how the United States stands ON the
sound money question, and business
ind credits should advance correspond
ihgly.
In this connection it is we'll to repro
dtice the following from the Washing
ton dispatch to the Times-Herald an
alyzihg the geographical division of
the vote:
"The geographical division of the vote Is
interesting. 1t shows a magnificent pre-
ponderance Of sound money votes in all.
the settled and prosperous sections of the
country. In all the region east OF the Mis-
souri and north Of the Ohio rivers there are
only handful of silver votes. number
ing nine or ten. Georgia, Arkansas, Texas
and California furnished one-third of all
the silver votes. Virginia anf the two
Carolinas furnished nearly one-t,iird moro.
Even In the south the light seems to be
breaking. Louisiana gave a majority for
uound money. So did Tennessee. Secre-
sary Carlisle's leadership OF public opinion
in Kentucky Is shown in two votes for sill
yer and eight against West Virginia *
golidly for sound money.
"a noteworth fact is that the state or
Missouri. represented I'm the senate by twn
rampant silver men, gives only two votes
for silver and IL against. Still more Sig
nificant Is the solid vote of indiana against
silver Notwithstanding the fact that two
senators from that state are free-coinagc
champions.
zone of the unpleasant surprises was tho
free silver vote Of Mr.. Mcclure, republican.
of Ohio, who represents a manufacturing
and sound money district. Another of the
same sort was the vote OF Mr. Marsh, Of
Illinois"
The foregoing shows, what is APP
parent to all observers, that the free
silver sentiment generally is the senti
ment of the financially unfortunate.
II springs from those generally who
have been unable to get on financially
and who turn to cheap money as q rem
edy for their financial troubles. Silver
mine owners and shareholders in such
property are, of course, interested from
special reasons. But in the Door COM
munities and the backward states will
be found the strength of the free sill
yer. sentiment.
With the bond issue a success and
the house of representatives on rec
ord 50 overwhelmingly against cheap
money, the effect abroad should be
stimulativc. British investors, at.least
the shrewd ones, have never doubted
that the United States would redeem
its obligations in gold. But the fact
remains that congress has persistently
refused to substitute the word gold"
for the word "coin." Around this re.
susal there continues to center feel
ing of distrust, and those who are con-
filent the government will adhere to
gold policy are still more or less fear
full lest others may in panicky times
unload their securities and thus impair
the market value of all holdings.-Chi
cago Times-Herald.
