" KANT "
A TRIP THROUGH HAPPY VALLEY.
Scenes Along the Line oil the Mar
row Gauge Railroad.

Running out from Johnson City,
Tenn, to Cranberry, NC, is the narrow
gauge railroad which runs through
more scenery than is probably con-
tanned III any twenty-five miles in the
United States. 1t runs through the
Happy Valley, along the Watauga
and Doe rivers through to the noun
tain passes peculiar to western North
Carolina
The marrow guage is owned by the
Cranberry IconC ompany, end runs
two trains daily to supply the demands
for the shipment Of the iron ore, the
fire clay, and the large output Of al
most every known hard wood. Bear
ing in mind the grand scenery, the
enchanted valleys that 1t passes
through, the newspaper man went to
Colonel Nelson, the genial superin-
tendent, ami asked for the privilege
of riding on an engine, both for the
novelty of riding on an engine and
for better view Of the scenery.
The train ran with center OF equilib-
rum that almost equalled that of the
bicycle, consequently speed was not
to be had when the power of accom-.
modating gravity lay in the tracks.

The day the trip was taken was an
ideal day for such trip, it was on

with a blush haze That always adds

any talk In him.

any talk IN him.
Our engineer knew every nook and
'possum hole in those pats and his
directions to noted localities as the
train rumbled along helped greatly to
heighten the spirit of the feeling.
Happy Valley? Yes, happy valley
Happy Valley l. the valley of the Wa
tausa river, which flows hrongh COR
geo1s mountain passes. The valley is
well circumscribed by these mountains
which seem to stand ever as a barrier
TO the entrance of trouble aud disap.
pointment from the grief stricken
world without. Those people there
ought to make that place a happy
valley, for, as on agricultural coun.
try, the Watauga valley is unsurpass
ed. The land is fertile aud the climate
~ just the ozone that produces great
crops, and even great men for that
matter. The old fashioned farm

THE REPUBLICAN BOND SCHEME

Last week we congratulated the ma
jority of our Kansas delegation in Con-
gress for their action upon the iniqui.
tous bond bill which has passed the
House by Republican votes. The gold
bug Capital of January 9 deVotes a
half column of its editorial space to q
criticism of that little congrstulatory
notice. The Capital is in a very en-
bsrsssing predicsment in relation to
this matter. Its bondage to gold-bug
interests of course necessltate its sup.
port of Calderhead and Blue, but In
sustaining them 1t must necessarily
condemn the other Republican Repre-
sentatlVes from this State. If Calder
head and Blue are right, then Curtis
and Kirkpatrick and Broderick and
Long are wrong; and if they are right,
then Calderhead and Blue are wrong.
The Capital has our sympsthies In
its present unhappy situation.
But let us look for just q moment at
the main point of the Capitals criti-
cism:
In the month that Congress has been In ses.
sion what remedy have these minority Repub-
licans or their colleagues, the Pops and Demo-
Gratis, offered for the treAsury's troubles2 II

nent cure, whore Is it2 What are they doing

protest against aCtlon9
There is no temporary treatment
available while we have a Republican
Congress that sustsins the present
administration in It's conspirscies with
the "Wall street hyenss." There is
money enough in the treasury now for
all purposes If the government end of
the "hyens' outfit would use 1t, but
as long as it is insisted by treasury Off.
Cisls that obligations payable in coin
shall be paid in gold alone, legislation
In aid Of such q reasonable policy
would be criminal. On the other hand,
to propose legislation for the purpose
of compelling treasury officials to COM
ply with existing law would be the
most consummate folly. There is in
fact no legislation necessary so far as
the treasury troubles" are concerned.
The Secretary Of the Treasury could
put an immediate stop to the raids of
Wall street pirates upon the treasury
If he had the disposition to exercise
the discretion he now has to redeem
treasury notes in silver.
But had the minority in the House
been disposed to offer any remedy for
Mr.. Csrlisle'S troubles they had no op-
portunity. The bond bill was rushed
through the House under the gag rule,
and the right to amend it was srbi-
trarily denied. The editor of the Cap
itGI knows all of these things as we'll

"sound money" crowd will not permit
him to say so.

1T WILL BE INTERESTING.

In the United States Senate, Jan.
ury 3, Senator Allen offered the follow
ing resolution, which was considered
by unanimous consent and agreed to:
ResOlued, That the Secretary Of the Treasury
be, and he is hereby directed, to inform the
Senate II the sum Of $lOOOOOyOO0, or any part
thereof, has, at any time since the establish
ment Of the so-called gold reserve, been Actu-
ally segregated and set apart from other
currency or money In the Treasury Depart
msnt, in gold coin, or gold coin and gold GER.
tihcates, or either, for the redemption Of the
legal-tender notes and different forms Of
paper money Of the government; and when,
and by what act Of Congress, giving the title
Of the act and the date OF Its approval, said
so.called reserve was established, and II not
established by act of Congress, state by what
authority, II any, 1t was established.
Secretary Csrlisle's answer to this
resolution will be exceedingly interest
ing. There are a great many people
who have been slow to believe the
statement Of PopuliSt papers that there
never was any authority Of law for the
establishment or the maintenance of
this gold reserve. If Secretary Car
Isle returns an answer to this resolu-
tion it may open a few more eyes of
the hitherto blind. Many years ago
John Sherman, then Secretary of the
Treasury, sold bonds for the establish
ment of this reserve without q shadow
Of authority, and it has been presump
lively maintained ever since. 1t is to
maintain this illegal reserve that the
Cleveland administration has increased
the interest bearing debt of the nation
more than $160,OOO,OOO and is now
about to add another $10O,0O0,0OO. If
we had American statesmen instead
of partisan gold-bug politicians in
Congress, they would not only impesch
the whole reasonable outfit, but they
would repudiste the bonds that have
been thus illegally issued. Senator
Aliens resolution is a timely and ex.
ceedingly important one.

SUPREME COURT SEATS HUDSON.

In the cases of E. H. Snow VS.. J. X.
Hudson, for the possession of the Office
of State Printer, and E. H. Snow vs..
w. G. Edwards, the Supreme court
last Saturday decided in favor of the
defendants. The latter case was to
compel the Secretary of State to recog-
nize E. II. Snow as State Printer.
In deciding on the different points
involved, Justices Johnston and Allen
hold that Mr.. Snow was duly elected
State Printer in 1891 and 1893; Chief
Justice Martin holds that he was not.
The Chief Justice also holds that
neither Mr.. Hudson nor anyone else
was elected in 1896. Justice Allen
agrees with the Chief Justice on this
point, while Justice Johnston holds
that Mr.. Hudson was elected. This
point was on the question as to whether
there was q constitutional joint session
at the time of the alleged election.
The case then turns in Mr.. Hudson's
favor on the decision of Chief Justice
Martin that Hudson, being in posses
sion of the Office to which no one had
been lawfully elected since G. G. Baker
had relinquished it, he (HudSon) is en-
titled to hold it.
1t is badly mixed decision and will
not fully enlighten the legal fraternity
as to all the points involved.
The advocate., 1896-01-15

The fat of the government is good
enough to make bonds sell above par,
when they draw interest, yet the pig
headed voter is willing to believe that
fat money is dishonest. Fiat money
Is bond which draws no interest, and
the material of which cannot be cor
