JUDGE HARVEY, of the Cabel
county Circuit, has announced that
hereafter $50 will be the minimum
fine imposed in his court for carry
ing concealed weapons. Referring
to this the Kanawha Gazette says:
1.-The truth is, the average viola.
tors of this law do not care fig
whether the fine is $50 or $50, 200, as
they seldom ever pay the fine, that
is if no more fines are collected in
his counties than are collected in Ka-
nawha county, whore out of the sey-
eral thousand dollars of fines i'm
posed by Judge Snyder's Criminal
Court during last year only one dol
lar was paid into the State Treasury
and that dollar by some poor wo-
man.

The Popular Loan,

The unprecedented success of the
popular loan of 500, 900, 900 in gold
TO maintain the reserve is a clear
demonstration of the peoples faith
in the Government and of the wis
dom of the administration in APP
pealing to the people for the gold
needed. The opening of the bids
for bonds at the Treasury depart
ment on Wednesday, the 9Th, shows
that 4,6l0 bids were made aggregat-
ing sos, 269, $50 worth of bonds.
when only Sl0O,0OO,OOO worth was
invited. These bonds will bear 4
per cent. interest and will run for 80
years from Feb. 1st, 800 This tre-
mendous aggregate of bids was a
surprise to every one and most graft
flying to the administration. 1t
shows, too, that there is an immense
amount of gold in the country Sc
creted by the people or locked up in
the vaults of the banks. Such was
the desire to get the bonds that no
bid at figure lower than 1905 is
likely to be accepted. The bids
came from individuals. banks and in
surance companies, and the great
success Of the issue, Mr.. Carlisle
thinks, will have most beneficial
effect upon the financial and business
interests of the whole country.
Various are the opinions expressed
In regard to the loan. Mr.. Elkins
is pleased because he thinks its sue
cess Vindicates the wisdom of his
resolution aimed at loans by private
contract. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Carlisle are highly gratifying, claim
ing that they have always favored
the popular loan. Senator Pugh
thinks 1t a clear demonstration of
the great amount of money shut up
IN the banks. Some think that the
bids have killed Mr.. Cleveland, 9TH
ers that they are a conspicuous
feather in the cap of the admistra-
ton. The silver men declare that it
proves every claim they make to the
effect that al American policy can
be sustained against the world. The
gold men are satisfied because they
think the loan shows how high is
the credit of the Government and
also that it proves a desire of the
country to maintain the parity of
the precious metals. ]. P. Morgan,
the New York banker, is pleased,
not only because his bid will secure
big batch of the bonds but because,
as he says, the loan will greatly
strengthen the credit of the Govern
ment. So it appears that men of all
shades of opinion are gratified at the
success of the loan.
Notwithstanding all this we be-
HeVe the people will condemn the
inactivity of Congress which has
done and will do nothing to avoid
this continual issuing of bonds and
increasing Of the public debt.

Washington, D. c., April ?, 1896 -
The supervising architect of the treas
ury department has filed with the senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds a recommendation that $780,
600 be appropriated for public build
ing at Salt Lake city. He also recon-
mended an appropriation for a public
building at Ogden, but the action of
house in.fopposing all public building
bills, and especially when two are for
cities in the same state, make the
chances for Ogden's claim being favora-
bly, considered not bright. The de-
pleted condition of the treasury and the
anxiety to keep down appropriations
have been potent so far this sessi on in
preventing favorable action upon public
building bills, but there is some pros
pect that before the session is ended the
barrier will be broken down, and one or
two public building bills passed.
The case of Thomas Matthews, appel
liant, VS.. Mary E. Hanks, administrators,
coming over to the Supreme court from

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

liz - "A - -hHts -
The campaign commenced on iaSi
Monday at Manning. From the ac,
counts in the various papers the crowd
seemed rather small, and more decent
ly behaved than in former years.
There were some surprises on that
day. The main surprise WAS when
John 4. Duncan the clerk to the
Secretary Of State announced himself
as candidate for United States Scna-
tor. DuncaE is from Newbcrry
county, has been Il member of the
legislature for several terms, is a
howling reformer, and has lately been
admitted to the bar. In his hrst
speech he pitched into Governor
Evans right and left, but his remarks
seemed mostly to be insinuations and
not direct charges. He insinuatcs
that there is something wrong in the
whiskey purchases, and the State :
insurance, whereby &. B. Evans, the
Governors brother, insures nearly
everything connected with the State.
He says he has something terrible if
,he could only tcilit. We don't know
what it is, and doubt if he has any
thing, if he has, probably his courage
will grow sufficiently to allow him to
tell it before the campaign is over.
Govoncr Evans seems to try to hack
him from the way he crows about
being game cock and talks about
,aaffs; he must crow to keep his
courage up. 1t is a great pity he
had not have been about twenty-five
years older and been in the late war,
lic would have had such a fine chance
to use his gaffs. lie could have been
tested, and we would have known Of
what kind of metal he is made, as IL
ID we are inclined to think he is made
mostly of brass. Not knowing either
man personally we size Evans ".I
Duncan nr at about the same, both
:sas bags and blowing horns. and
about as we'll suited 70 be United
States Senator as school 10y,
Evans has the advantage of Tillman 5
assistance We suppose, as he has had
in the past. for everybody knows
John Gary Evans would ncvor have
been heard of outside of Aiken coun
ty but for Tillman. The question
now presents itself, will the men of
South Carolina allow Ti!lman to vote
them, or will they claim that privi-
lege themselycs, this is the whole
question and nothing more: and you
cant make anything else out Of it.
At the second meeting Judge Earle
was announced aS a candidate. ""
