PRESIDENT GILMAN RESIGNS.
John Hopkins University Will Have a New
President.

DR.. Daniel c. Gilman, who for nearly
twenty-five years has been president of
the Johns Hopkins University-in fact,
its first and only president-has signified
his intention of resig1iing that position
and retiring to private life.
The reason given for his resignation is
that he is approaching seventy years old
and feels that it is time for a younger
man to take hold. By this action, it is
said, he is following the example of heads
OF other great educational institutions
ana complying with a sort of unwritten
law that recognizes seventy years old as
the age limit for university presidents.
Among those mentioned as likely to
succeed DR.. Gilman is Dr. Ira Remsen
head professor of chemistry Dr. Remsen
was acting president of the university
during the term of 1889 and 1890. while
DR.. Gilman was abroad. He then re-
ceived the warm commentator of the
board for his management of affairs.
There is also said to be a strong senti-
ment among the alumni of the university.

ed toward the choosing of some promi-
nent alumnus, such as DR.. Woodrow Will

AN INTERESTING STORY,

The New York Sun prints a story
that makes mighty interesting read
ing, when time, place, circumstances
and personages are considered. The
time was since the election, the place
was the Union League Club in New
York and the occasion was a banquet
to the Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna.
Here is choice passage from the
Suns choice story, purporting to
come from a more or less distinguish
ed Republican who was on the ground
and 'saw it air.
at came time for General Greene to
speak. He was in his best mood. He is
fne-looking, soldierly fellow. He was
very happy because Emperor Dick Gro
ker's estimate of 10000 for Bryan in the
borough of Manhattan had been cut down
to less than 2S, 600. General Greene said
some very handsome things of Senator
Hanna, the guest of the evening. Turn
ing to Mr.. Hanna, General Greene said:
TO you, sir, | owe my army appointment
my selection as a brigedier general, and
my assignment to the Philippines
I" Hold on there interrupted General
Alger, rising from his chair. Where was
|, General Greene, during all that time?
Was | not Secretary of Warp
=" Certainly you were, sir suavely re-
piled General Greene, but you merely
made the appointments recommended by
my friend Senator Hanna
General Alger was still on his feet.
He was nettled.
Let me say to you, General Greene,
rasped back General Alger, that very
appointment you received during the
Spanish war was recommended by my dear
old friend who sits on my right, Senator
Platt, and that without his Endorsement
you would not have been anywhere, for
the reason that you, as a New York Re
publican, was compelled0to receive his
Endorsement before either the President
or his Secretary of War would act
Senator Hanna grinned. everybody else
at the table smiled, and it was an in
teresting bit of the evening""
1t was indeed. If it is true. and there
has been do denial of it, the incident
throws considerable light on some
hitherto dark things, and shows Nc
Kinley and Alger in a most unenviable
light-puppets of Hanna.

ABOUT THE PRIMARY.
Davie Times.

DaV1e Times.
OF course some objections can be brought
up in regard to the primary, but we
are one who believes that "everything
is for the best" and the primary is one
OF those things In the first place we
would have had the same fight in the
various county conventions prior to the
August election if this system had not
been adopted. The friends of each can
dldate for the United States Senate would
nave made the same fight for delegates
to the township and county conventions
who were for the nomination of a man
favorable to their own candidate for the
Legislature and the contest would have
been equally as bitter as it was in the
recent primary. In the second place we
fully believe this primary saved the Dem
ocratic Congressman from this district
and brought thousands of other voters to
the polls that would not have cast votes
for the Democratic nominees. Again, it
inspires confidence and interest in the
party adopting it with the rank and file
of the voters who hardly even go to the
convention, and if they do have nothing
to say-just hold up their handsSfor every
motion. 1t makes them feel that they
have the same say so as to who shall
serve them as any one else. Give us the
primary system from township constable
to Governor.

M'KINLEY AND THE FILIPINOs

A special cable dispatch from Ma
Mia in Mondays New York Sun Rep.)
says:
The election returns in the United
States have apparently had no effect yet
on the insurgents.
Nobody ever thought they would,
though Republican orators and editors
during the recent campaign never
tired of asserting that the FilipinOs
were keeping up their war only in
the hope that Mr.. Bryan would be
elected, and that if Mr.. Mckinley
should be victorious they would
promptly lay down their arms.
The Sun was among these elect-Mc-
Observation-Disclosures howlers. The
election has been over two weeks and
the result is known to the FilipinoS.
What effect has it had upon them?
The Sun says it has had none. Others
dispatches declare that the insurgents
are not combining their efforts to
guerilla warfare in the swamps and
mountains but ''are continually shoot
ing into the garrisoned towns and our
forces have not been sufficient to re-
taliate effectively"
1t would thus seem that if McKin-
ley's election has had any effect at all
in the Philippines it has only stirred
the natives to more desperate resist
ance. Else why the plans now be-
ing laid in Washington to increase our
standing army to 100000 men and i'm
pose on us military burdens heavier
than are borne by any other country
in the world?

TAX ON STATE BANKS.

A case of great public interest is
now pending in the Supreme court OF
the United States-the case of Bank
of Iron Gate V. James ID. Brady, col
lector of United States Internal Rev
enues for the Second District of Vir-
ginia. The ease has been on the docket
of the court for sometime, but it
is. understood that a motion will be
made to advance so that it may be ar
gued and decided at the present term
The case involves the constitutional
ity of the act of Congress, which pro-
hbits the banks of the States from is
suing currency notes. This is general
ly supposed to be a decided case, but in
the case now before the court it is
contended that the decision which
upheld the constitutionality of
the act of Congress (Veazie Bank V.
Fenno, Sth Wallace, S. c. r. $3.50 has
been overruled by the decision in the
income tax case.
1t was decided in the Veazie case
that the ten per cent tax on State
bank currency was not direct tax to
be apportioned, and was therefore
constitutional. In the more recent IN
come Tax cases, however, it is argued
that the court has repudiated this doc
trine and must now hold that the tax
in question is a direct tax to be APP
portioned. and that as the act impos-
ing the tax does not apportion it, it is
unconstitutional.
The Bank of Iron Gate is a banking
corporation, chartered by, and organic
ed under and doing business in, the
State of Virginia. In the course of
its business it issued it's notes as cur
rency and paid them out as such. The
Commissioner of the Revenue of the
United States assessed these notes
with tax of ten per cent. upon their
face value. as the act of Congress re-
quires him to do, and the Collector of
Internal Revenue demanded payment
of the tax. The bank refused to pay
the tax, upon the ground that the act
of Congress imposing it was repug-
nant to the Constitution of the United
States and void. Thereupon the Col
lector distrained upon the banks prop
erty, and, to secure a release of its
property, the bank paid the tax under
protest and sued the Collector in the
United Circuit Court for a malicious
injury for $4,000 damages, the ground
of jurisdiction being the unconstitu-
tionality of the act of Congress impos-
ing the tax, and of the act of Con-
gress requiring the Collector to dis
train for the tax.
If the Supreme court decides the act
of Congress imposing the prohibitory
tax on State bank notes to be repug-
nant to the Constitution, prodigious
change will be worked in our financial
system.
