The pending Lodge bill adds to the list
illiterates. Perhaps hereafter it may be
deemed wise and desirable to draw the
reins still tighter, but for the present this
will serve. 1t is the right and duty of each
country TO consider and protect the in
terests of its own people, and these in
terests are not served by allowing a too
great influx of an alien and unassimilable
people. This is the view that both
branches of the last Congress took, and
there is abundant reason to believe that
the present Congress shares this opinion
and that the Lodge bill will receive its
vote and the approving signature of Presi-
dent Mckinley.

1t is gratifying to the party and the
country that the Republican leaders in the
House are determined to keep the expen-
ditures down to the lowest figure compat-
ible with the efficiency of the public SER
vice. All propositions in the House for
appropriations are to be closely scrutinized
and the disbursements provided for in the
bills passed by that body are, it is under
stood. to be kept at lower level than in
recent years. Moreover, strong fight is
to be made by the House against all ex-
pansions of the appropriations by the SEN
ate. The latter task, of course, will be far
more difficult than the other, but if the
House Republicans are vigilant and reso-
lutte they will succeed. In both sessions
of the Congress which expired last March
the powerful influence of Speaker Reed
was actively enlisted on the side of econ.
omy, but his work was largely neutralized
by the Senate's extravaganza. The in
centive tor economy is equally great in
the present Congress and the opportunity
to work effectively for it is better than il
was in 1856 and ISe6-7.-.St. Louis Globe

1t now seems quite possible, if not prob
able, that the United States Senate may
accept President McKinley's currency
plan, in which he proposes the destruction
of the ''endless chain" system by which
gold is drawn out of the treasury, and a
gradual transfer of the gold responsibility
to the national banks of the country, in
conjunction with an increased circulation
on their part.
Prior to the presentation of the Presi-
dents simple and apparently feasible plan
it was believed that nothing could be Of
fered which would be accepted by the sill
yer element in the Senate, unless a free
coinage proposition were attached to it.
The unanimity of popular sentiment in
favor of the Presidents plan, however,
seems likely to lead this element of the
Senate to assume an attitude towards the
proposition similar to that with which
they accepted the protective features of
the tariff bill, permitting it to pass be-
cause of their recognition of its popularity
with the people.-State Gazette.

Paddy Hollow

Wilmington, N. c., November 8.
Editors Messenger:
1 notice in today's Messenger you
have the murder of last Sunday morn
ing headed Paddy Hollow Murder"
This is not the first time reflections
have been cast on the name Of Pad
dy," unjustly. Why call the Carolina
Cooperage works Paddy Hollow, when
it is four or five blocks from the place
designated as the Hollow" Every
true, upright Irishman bushes when
the name of Paddy is coupled with
lawlessness. To those not acquainted
with this city it would seem to them
a low, mean place, composed of Irish
men, when there is not one Irishman
living or doing business in it.
The Y. M. C. A. building now stands
in the place where an irish lady kept a
respectable boarding house some thir-
ty years ago and it got the name of
Paddy House, for the reason that
most Irishmen coming into the city
stopped there. Some of as good n
upright citizens as you have in Will
mington today boarded in this same
house. Yours Very respectfully,
M, O'BRIEN.
The Messenger gladly publishes Mr..
O'Brien's card, and takes the opportu-
| nifty to say that no reflection was in
tended in the use OF the heading. We
| simply designated the place Of the
murder as a locality named fifty years
or more ago.. We do not know wheth-
er those who named the locality did so
| as a reflection on the name Paddy"
but certainly a murder there WOul re-
fleet no more on the name than it would
on Market street, one of our principal
thoroughfares, where an innocent
stranger was murdered a few days ago.
We are proud of our Irish citizens, and
| doubt not that nine out of every
ten people in our great commonwealth
have Irish blood in their veins. Who is
| it tina cannot boast of Irish lineage?

NSIlSo6O
At frequent intervals during the long
reign of Queen Victoria statements
have been published showing the great
loss of the royal family to British sub
jects, or, as they have now become,
British citizens, for the queen is a SOW
ereign only in name and the English
are but nominally subjects.
Upon her accession to the throne
Victoria made the easy concession of
all the hereditary revenues OF the
crown and the proceeds of the royal es-
tates in exchange for a permanent civil
list amounting to something more than
50, 600, 900 annually. These
were greater than this sum-, but the
cost and annoyance Of collection were
such that the trade for the queen was
a good one. These millions are to the
queen, but the British people must,
in addition to supporting the queen
thus handsomely contribute to the sup
port of the immense number of Hano-
verians of the royal house for whom she
is responsible. The expense of these
amounts to nearly 81, 1000, 900 more an
nually. Certain of the princes of the
blood royal, headed by the heir appar-
ent. are chargeable upon the army n
navy as generals, admirals, colonies,
etc.; they also "a various allowances
for keeping up palaces that appertain
to their place.

From Parsons Week.:

The story is told that there has recent
ly dice in the East End of London an old
gentleman "a ~centenarian) who is locally
reported to be the last person in England
to wear that curious fashion of eaddres
common in George ITS time, a "pigtail."
With his queer queue of white hair,
nattily tied behind with a knot of blue
ribbon, his corded knee breeches and low
buckle shoes, a lage Powered waistcoat
down to his hips, n plum-colOred open
coat that showed the big frilled shirt and
tight stock, the old man was a picture
sque feature amid squalid surroundings.
He had been considered quite a dandy
in his youth. He was very vain of his
tail, and often prided himself, in his
weak, quavering voice, of being the only
gentleman left that was dressed as a real
gentleman should be-"
His sole regret was that he was obliged
to have his hair braided by others, When
his own hands grew too feeble to perform
the duty, but to the very last he always
chose his own particular tint of hair rib
bon, a certain correct" shade OF dark
indigo blue.

New York Stock Market.

New York, November 3.-Heavy
prices and a dull market were the con-
ditions on the stock exchange during
the greater part of the day. but in the
later dealings a more active liquida-
ton set in and the trading became
more animated than at any time pre-
viously, prices falling to the lowest
of the day and remaining there practi-
cally till the close. The low point rep
resented net declines running all the
way from a point to SIS, the latter in
Sugar. A great many prominent stocks
have lost over 2 points on the day, sew
eral of the grangers and the coalers
being conspicuous in the list. The
prices for American securities in the
London market at the time Of the
opening here showed sharp declines
and the later reports showed that the
results of the elections yesterday had
aroused considerable unfavorable sem
timent among security holders abroad.
This market took it's cue from London
IND the opening showed declines rather
in excess of some Of those reported
from abroad. There was some buying
in this market at the lower level for
London account, but this probably rep
resented arbitrage operations to cover
sales made in london earlier In the
day. 1t had the effect, however, of
steadying prices. A sensational jump
of IL points in Consolidated Gas and
gains Of 2A in Manhattan and Of the
same amount in Metropolitan street
railway also served to check any de-
Ginning tendency. These gains were ac-
companied by rumOrs that the proper
ties affected were assured of immunity
from hurtful measures as a result Of
Nyncfnr6ou 'o 1Or01 a1nnfinn IN Nauv
York. That the gains were manipula-
tive was shown by the fact that they
were wiped out during the day in the
case of the two last named, and Con-
solidated Gas reacted 81 points. Sugar
was a centre Of weakness all day n
it developed that this was due to a
prevalent rumor Of the illness OF an
officer of the company, which was used
with good effect by the bears. The
stock fell successfully SIS points, clos
ing at the lowest.
The ~coalers were ali very notably
weak in the latter part of the day, and
their net losses ranged all the way
from 2 to 4 points, the latter in New
Jersey Central. Northwestern, Omaha,
ST. Paul n Burlington also lost over
2 points on the day. The special
weakness in the coalers was caused by
statements of the continued u~nfavora-
BILE condition of the coal trade The
trading was largely confined TO the
professional element who are bear for
the time being, and who urged that
I yesterdays elections indicate a growth
| of sentiment in favor of restrictions on
| capital and corporations. The later de-
| cline in the market dislodged some stop
| orders, but the fact that the total
| sales for the day were only about
| 800, o00 shares shows that the liquida-
| ton was not heavy.
Business in railway bonds was not
on a large scale. but prices were weak
in sympathy with stocks. Kansas Pa
| cific consols fell IL. Total sales were
! 81, 200. 600. The total sales of stocks to-
| day were 324, 319 shares.
