The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1899-06-08

The success of the State Universe
ty for the past year must be highly
gratifying to every North Carroll
man. Over Eve hundred students
were in attendance, which is, We be-
lieve, about twenty-five above the
high water mark that the University
received in its palmiest days before
the war whom it was the leading
Southern University. Besides, an
other most gratifying fact is that
nearly half of the Toys in attend
ance were working their way through
college either in whole or in part. It
is indeed the peoples university.
The outlook for the next year is that
ct least six hundred students will be
in attendance.

The Spanish government has just
ceded to Germany the Caroline ISL
ands, the Paloas Islands, and that
portion of the Ladrone Islands re-
naming to her after the relinquish-
ment of Guam to the United States.
This cession to Germany comes as q
surprise to Americans, but Germany
has Of course had the matter under
consideration for some time, and this
no doubt accounts for her unfriendly
attitude toward us during peace ne
gotiations with Spain. This new
requirement by Germany is likely to
add further embarrassment in our
relations toward Germany, as in the
Ladrones for instance she now sur
rounds us, owning all of the islands
Of that group except Guam which We
retained, thus furnishing constant
opportunity for disagreement These
islands which the Spanish govern
ment has just ceded were about the
last left appendages of Spain's an
cient empire.

GOLD.

The commercial papers on the main
land point out as one of the most note
worthy features of monetary circula-
of gold coin which has passed into the
currency. According to Bradstreets
the gold coin and bullion in the United
States, taken together, is the largest
stock of the yellow metal of any coun
try in the world, yet it constitutes very
little over half of the circulation.
The most powerful European nations
have each a larger ratio of gold to the
entire circulation than the United
States, however. The percentage of
gold to the entire. circulation in the
United States is 50.03, in France it is
$3.50, in Great Britain 65.2 and in Ger
many 65.96
Treasurer Roberts of the United
States has in recent address to the
Bankers Association made this a plea
for the increased use of gold in COM
mercial transactions. The objections
to the actual use of gold coin are its
abrasion, the danger of mistaking it for
INFERIOR COIN ana, IN large sums, ltS
weight. AS. lar as the Pacific Coast is
concerned gold has ever been the fav-
Orite medium of circulation, and it will
be here, when our treasury certificates
cease to exist, as they will do when
our status is distinctly settled In all
large transactions here gold is the me-
dunn, or it's equivalent in u. S. paper,
The use of paper is a convenience,
because large sums can be carried in
small compass, but paper of small de-
nominations NJ is Objectionable. Even
five dollar bills are too small, for they
pass so constantly from purse to purse,
that they Become crumpled and dirty.
Moreover; IL a circulating medium is a
means OF spreading disease, paper is
infinitely more dangerous than coin.

The possibility of the Yaqui war
crossing the border and bringing about
a collision with United States troops is
on the boards. 1t will be extremely dis
agreeable--for the Yaqui. Weasel wars
of this kind are, extremely exasperat-
dng. There is, absolutely no glory in
them. 1t is worse than fighting Fill
pinos. Good men are lost, a few I'M
known Yaquis are killed and that is the
end of the war. The Yaquis had better
confine themselves to knocking over
Mexicans. The Mexican is polished
and civilized, but at heart he is very
little better than the YaQui he is now
lighting .. ,,..

If the French physicians really have
discovered a cure for tuberculosis they
will have accomplished what has, up to
the present, been unattainable. 1t will
be the greatest boon conferred upon the
human race since Jenner's greatd is
covery, which though it has not stop
ped the ravages of smallpox, has stop
ped it's power to disfigure. What we
consider that one seventh of the deaths
among the human race are from tuber-
culosis, any one that discovers a cure
for it is an International benefactor.
But this is not the first time that a cure
for tuberculosis has been proclaimed, so
we shall have to await confirmation.

Ex-Hueen Liliuokalani must have

The statement that the native has not

advantage of being tried by jury COM

of how things really are here.

Some of our, citizens have been COM
planning of the, heat here, where the
highest recorded temperature during
the summer has been 81 in the shade
and this only on one or two days. On
the mainland they have had something
like hot weather, and it makes one
positively perspire to read of it.
On August 81 Wymore reported 1O7 in
the shade, at Springfield 81 at Cincin-
natl 991a, at Peoria 9S, at st. Louis 1O5.
Of course a large number of people have
succumbed to the heat. And not only
do people suffer during the day, but
they have hot, close nights, when sleep
becomes impossible, while we, who have
no such extremes of heat, always have
nice cool nights Talk of the tropics
We don't begin to have the heat that
they get in the Temperate Zone.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
The Features Of The Days Dealing in All
the leading Stocks.

New York, March 1.-Stocks were again
opened up and then worked lower with
some rallies. Dealings were on rather d
less extensive scale than of late. The
specialties displayed extreme irregularity
and the standard stocks weakness most
of the day. Inc opening rise was associ-
ated with the more favorable aspect of
the Philippine situation due to Germany's
withdrawal of her cruiser supposed to
lessen the chance of complication.
The $500 900 in dividends and interest
which was payable today had but little
effect upon the money market. Atchison
preferred and Burlington had an early
appearance of strength, but large vol
ume of selling orders appeared which
rightly or wrongly was attributed to
some of the leading bull interests which
had been conspicuous purchasers for two
months. The same interests appeared to
be sellers of the standard stocks. AS the
market ran off, stop loss orders were
reached in some cases. while London was
a source of support, taking about 10000
shares on balance.
The effect of this purchasing was re-
Elected in weaker tone for sterling ex-
change. Prices after the decline rose on
moderate dealings and then wavered
downward and upward in sluggish
manner. there appearing little pressure of
offerings or urgent demand. The market
weakened toward the close. the activity
being at the expense of values. with con-
siderable selling of the Changers. and the
in most stocks with the tone weak.
Trading in bonds, today, was consider
ably mixed, weakness and strength de-
veloping in important issues. Total sales.
$670, 900. United States bonds were un-
changed on bid quotations.
