How About IL

Two announcements made with
in the past few days, from reliable
sources, are derserving of most Sc
rious contemplation. The first is
that the government has in the
last two months contracted the
circulation to the extent of $oo,-
100000. The other, that there
has been about 700 more business
failures the last vuarter than ever
before known in this country.
The latter is the sequel to the for.
mer, and should be an impressive
object lesson on cause and ef-
fect.n
There are facts that the sophis
try of political economy or party
chicanery cannot logically over
come.
II is fair to say that the contrac-
tion Of 500, 900, 900 circulation
means shrinkage in values Of at
least three times that much, or in
round numbers the products Of the
country are worth S27o, ,ooo, 900
less now than they were three
months ago; and this in face of the
that the government has recently
put an additional mortgage upon
its property and people in bonds
for 1000, ,ooo, 900, in order to get
cash. 1t is an unsightly picture
to view. and yet we are told by
those whose business it is to at
tend to these affairs, that the gov
ernment will hardly do anything
to alter existing conditions this
congress. It holds out no hope to
a distressed and desperate people;
and .here is no reasonable hope
from the present administration.
What about itl The country is
going to perdition on the fast ex-
press, and If it keeps up the sched-
ule Of the last three months year
longer, the freight will be deliver
ed at its destidation by special
messengers-the men who have
violated every pledge made to the
people, every instinct of human
justice, yea--even their oaths-
men who have sold .hemseles and
their country with less cause than
had Esau when he gave up his
birth right for mess of potage.
Be they idiots or knaves the result
is the same. 1t Is through their
action or inaction that people are
driven to starvation, desperation
and death, and they nust answei
for the consequences here and
hereafter.

THE GAME YESTERDAY.


When the second game between the
Trinity and Wake Forest baseball teams
was called at Trinity Park yesterday
evening at $50 they were greeted by a
large crowd whose interest in the game
increased as it proceeded.
The game was closely contested
throughout and was tie down to the
9th inning, when Wake Forest, which
was last at the bat, got on her mettle
and did some magnificent playing.
Williams made hard hit, splitting the
ball and bringing his basemen home.
This closed the contest, with the score
standing II to 10 in favor of Wake For
est. Trinity beat in Saturdays game,
and now the honors are easy between
these two teams.

Legal Inconsistency

The Washington Times says:
A quiet laugh is being enjoyed
at the expense Of Justice Field,
the veteran Of the Supreme
Court, whose memory at times
is rather faulty. According to
the story being told on this dis
tinguished jurist, a lawyer was
recently arguing a case before
this high tribunal, and he had
occasion to read from various
authorities. In the midst Of one
citation he was interrupted by
Juftice Field with the remark
that what he had just read was
nonsense from the legal point
of view. Inquiry showed that
the authority so sweepingly
condemned was nothing less
than an opinion Of the Supreme
Court of the United States
which Mr.. Field had himself
rendered a quarter Of a century
ago.

A Thief In Trouble.

Another thief is in trouble. A
few days ago John Geer, colored,
was arrested, tried and jailed for
larceny and receiving Goods
were found in his home that were
stolen from the stores of the West
Durham Store Co, w. T. Slade
and o. w. Belvin, and he was
bound over on all three charges.
Now his son, Wesley Geer is
in trouble for the same offence.
Friday morning about 2 O'Clock
George Rhodes, night watchman
at the D. & N. depot, 'phoned the
police that tramp was asleep
under the old store house of j. w.
garkham, on Green street between
Five Points and the railroad
Officers went down there and
{; uld that it was the very one
they had been looking for several
days. He was taken into custody
and he had on a pair of suspenders
stolen from the West Durham
Store, and in his pockets was
found pistol and ring belonging
to w. T. Slaie.
Geer was charged with larceny
in three cases, to all of which he
plead guilty and was sent over to
court under a $50 dollar bond in
each case. Two of the cases were
tried by Mayor Peay and the West
Dlrham caye was heard by Squire
D. G Gunter.
Friday afternoon Isaac Rob.
ertson, colored, employed by l. S.
Christian & Co., lumber dealers,
found lot of goods under an old
building on the side OF the South
ern railroad, which is used to store
lumber in. The find was eported
to the police and they went up and
got the goods. Among the lot
we're ten or twelve pair pants, be
longingto the West Durham Store
Co., and a lot of other goods some
of which were the property of W.
T. Slade. The goods must have
been put there by Wesley Geer, as
he was arrested under a building
on the opposite side of the street,
and he told the authorities that he
had hid some of the stolen proper
ty under a prize -feom.
So far most everything stolen
from the West Durham Store Co.,
has been recovered and also the
larger part of what was missing
from Slade and Belvin.
