MORGAN IN CHICAGO.
How Gold Bugs OF That City Treat Their
Friend.

John w. Doane gave luncheon yes
terday at the Chicago club in honor OF
j. Pierpont Morgan The Chicago club
is an organization Of millionaires.
therefore Mr.. Morgan was at his ease.
When the gentlemen who had been in
vited TO partake of the hosts hospital
ity and exchange compliments with the
New York financier had stretched their
finely clad legs under the board. MIR.
Doane arose and said
Il propose the health of man whom
Chicago honors as the man who kept
intact the treasury gold reserve and
prevented the country from going to a
silver basis. j. Pierpont Morgan"
Had Mr.. Doane cared less for the OBJ
servance of social form and more for
solid truth he would have raised his
glass of extra dry and said
81 propose the health OF a man who,
with Mr. Belmont aud Baron Roths-
child, so jugg'ed the money market that
the national government was forced to
pay him several million dollars for the
temporary use Of $65, coo 900 of gold,
which amount is already going back in
to his pocket | have no doubt, gentle
men, that our guest is hopeful of again

Gentlemen, Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan"
WhereupOn Mr. Morgan could with
strict regard for truth have responded
after this fashion:
Fellow millionaires: Were | not
otherwise informed | should know,
after casting my eyes about this pala-
tial home of our set, that YOU are firm
believers in sound currency. So am

reason why we should not take a hope

INTRINSIC VALUE.


Glut OF Gold.
From the National Bimetallist: Last
week we called attention TO the in
creased production Of the yellow metal.
and pointed out the inconsistencies or
those gold champions with whom an
increased production OF silver both
prove the same thing. namely; Tho
supreme excellence of the gold stand
ard.
The suggestion was also casually
thrown out, that ere long the demoneti-
zation of gold might be proposed.
An intimation OF that kind comes
even sooner than we dreamed Of
Mr. W. r. Lawson, in the London
Bankers Magazine, speaks of the mat
ter in this way:
Imitation Of paper money and an
over-abundance of silver money are
matters Of common knowledge but =
possible plethora Of gold presents it
self as novel idea. 1t is, however, an
idea which may have TO be reckoned
with shortly.
The right OF free coinage of gold
may have to be suspended in England
as the free coinage of silver was sus-
pended in India and under the Latin
Union. Behind that, again, would
stand the last resort Of ALL limitation
of its legal tender power. IL the gold
shut out from the mint lost value in
consequence, that would be matter
for the producers TO adjust, as other
producers have to do. For the evil OF
excessive currency there is but one rem
edy, whatever the currency may be;
it is restriction; and for metallic mon
ey the only known methods of restric-
ton are, first, limited coinage; second.
limited legal tender"
The American goldite draws all of
his inspiration, primarily, from Lon
don, and he ought to study with care
the language quoted above. IL COM
pletely exposes the unsoundness of the
fundamental arguments in favor of the
gold standard. What becomes of the
intrinsic value" theory, if Mr.. Lawson
knows what he is talking about? Where
is Mr.. Atkinson's fixed and invariabls
Standard" What of the hammer"
and fire" tests of which we hear 50
much?
Mr.. Lawson says that the coinage
may have to be suspended and its legal
tender limited. If the value is fixed"
and 'unchanging" how can such an
act possibly do any good? 1t seems
too, that he appreciates the fact (Which
ought to be self-evidenD that the gold
bullion excluded from the mint would
shrink in value; but he says that con-
Germs the producer only.
What joke it would be if in a few
short years we should have a gold
question" to haunt the souls and har-
row the conscfences of the champions
of honest money! But don't get
alarmed, brothers! We won't let Lon
don and New York demonetize gold in
this country if We can help it. Al
though you call us "fakirs" and "silver
monometallists" we assure you that we
want both metals, and, Providence per-
hitting, we are going to have them one
of these days, not merely in concurrent
circulation, one as token" and the
other as standard" but both as stand
ard.

Build Shipsl

1t is all very we'll to pass reso-
lutions denying the right OF
European powers to acquire ter
ritory on this continent, and it is
all very fine to declare that any
attempt at such acquisition will
be regarded as unfriendly acts
and will be resisted. But the
question is: What are we going
to do the resisting with? Sup
pose, for example, We should
wake up some morning next
week and find that flying squad>
ron sweeping up and down our
coasts, what sort ofdeience could
we put up against it7
1t is worse than folly to pass
such resolutions until we are in
a position to enforce them, if
necessary. The Senate had bet
ter stop the pension payments
for a year, build ships and coast
defences with the money, and do
its talking about resisting en-
'croachments afterward.

Give us a Night Police.

Edenton has three day police
men, and none at night Why
one of them cannot be put on
duty at night is something no
one can understand.
On Saturday night last some
one threw brick through the
window of the store of A. G. &
R. S. Mitchell, through which
they entered and robbed the place
of a lot Of cakes, nuts, cigars, etc.
On Sunday night a brick was
thrown in the store window of
Rosenstein Bros. who discovered
it in time to save themselves
from being robbed. Monday
night E. S. Norman store was
entered i'll a like manner and
robbed.
With all this we have no night
police, but three men who walk
the streets i'll the day time and
draw from the town treasury
each month for their services
$1,000.
We can see no necessity for
three day policemen, but we do
see the necessity of one of them
being on at night. The people
who have property at stake want
protection, and the city fathers,
we hope, will consider their wants
and at their next regular meet
ing, give us such police regula>
tons as to require one of the
three, at least, to be On duty at
night.
At the same time a punch
clock should be purchased, and
the night police should be re-
quired to use it.

lam inclined to think from a slight
experience that the Munson trellis is the
best method Of training vines in this
climate. This is the mode devised by
Mr.. Munson, noted fruit grower Of
Texas. The plan is TO set posts along
the rows at moderate distances, and
from four to six feet high. On these
posts cross pieces are nailed two feet
long, and wires are stretched along the
centre Of the tops Of the posts, and from
the end of the cross pieces, making
three horizontal lines of wires a foot
apart The vines are trained on long
canes along the central wire, and the
fruit wood is trained to the side wires,
and allowed to hang over. New canes
are trained OUT annually TO take INC
places of those that have borne and are
to be cut away. We have some trained
in this way at the Station and they do
well. We never prune grapes here TILL
March, as those pruned III tho fall are
apt to start untimely in the spring ard
get hurt by return of cold. At that
late date the bleeding does not amount
to much, as the foliage soon stops it.
In any mode Of training the main OBJ
ject is to have a good supply of strong
one-y ear-old wood. If you train on
perpendicular trellis, run the trellisAs
north and south, so that one will not
shade the other. Stretch three wir s
starting IS inches from the ground, and
foot apart, and prunc fan shape, CT
ting out annually the wood that hos
borne and train up strong canes four or
five feet long for the new crop.

Cultivation Of the Peach Tree.

The North Carolina Experiment
Station has just published a special
bulletin on the cultivation of the
peach tree, which includes articles
ON the peach tree and its para
sites by Gerald Mccarthy, Botanist
and Entomologist; also planting, prun-
ing and cultivation of the peach, by
w. F. Massey, Horticulturist AS this
bulletin may not be of general inter
est to all parts Of the state, it will be
sent out only to those who make ap-
plication for it. The different subjects
treated include apparatus and remedies
required to check insect enemies of the
peach, as well as fungous diseases. The
special insect enemies mentioned are
rootborer. the curculio, the June beetle,
the rose beetle, peach tree louise, period
ical cicada, the soft scale, West India
peach scale. San Jose scale, parasitic
nematode worms. The fungous diseas-
es described with remedies so far S
known, are the following: Peach yell
lows. brown rot, peach scab or mildew,
peach leaf curl shothole disease, root rot
or pourridie. The New York law for pre-
venting the spread of contagious dis
eases among peach orchards is given in
full SO that when the industry becomes
Of sufficient magnitude in this state,
similar laws may be inaugurated here,
Among the subjects discussed in the
bulletin in reference to the cultivation
OF the peach are: the soil best adapted
for the orchard, varieties of trees to
plant in different sections of the state,
when and how to prune, to fertilize,
and to gather and to ship the crop. The
extensive planting Of the peach in the
east is not advised at this time. The
largest orchards in the state are those
in the sand hill regions of Moore and
adjoining counties, but many choice To-
cations can be found further west by
avoiding low valleys and sunny slopes,
which subject the orchard to destruc-
ton by frosts

is issued and parties in this state desir-
ing to read it had best apply at once to
