STRAIGHTFORWARD ACTION OF EX-
TREASURER WORTH.

Raleigh News and Observer, 25th
And now it turns out that the surety
company in which Major Martin, the
defaulting Treasury clerk, was
bonded will resist payment of the
claim against it..
But if the company does the mean
part in the affair, ex Treasurer
Worth will do the honest one, and
therefoe he deserves the respect and
admiration of all good citizens.
Something like a month ago the
present State Treasurer made de-
mand on Mr.. Worth for the amount
of Martins shortage. Worth in
turn made demand on the surety
company, expressing confidence that
it would pay it.
Now it turns out that the com
pany will do nothing of the kind, if
it can help it. On the per1diOus
other hand it will fight the claim on
the ground that the Treasurer's
books were each year examined by
a legislative committee and pro-
nounced correct, and but for that
the company would never have re-
bonded Major Martin year after
year. 1t will be commended that each
one of these examinations released
the company from all obligation on
the accounts examined.
AS soon as this position of the
company was ascertained Mr.. Worth
called IL meeting of his bondsmen
and surrendered to them all his prop
erty to insure them from loss in the
event the surety company should
successfully resist the cl i'm
Mr. Worth's action in the matter
has been commended by all who
heard of it, and it is sin erely hoped
by all that be Will be able to make
the surety company paw a claim
which by all principles of justice and
right it ought to pay.
The exact amount of Martin :
shortage was SIC, 434.88. OF this
S374.S4 was taken under Treasurer
Lacy's administration and he will
have to make it good. This leaves
S16, O6O. GA to be made good by ex
Treasurer Worth. Mr.. Worth holds
a s., 900 bond in the surety company
for each of the four years Martin
Was in his Office.

SENATOR MCLAURIN's 3
ASKED FOR.


Tillman Supports the Resolution Which
Charges That McLaurin Misrepresents His
State and the Constituency Who Elected
Him
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 26.-The
State executive committee, late last
night, adopted a resolution ruling
Senator McLaurin out of the Demo-
cratic primary. The action was to-
tally unexpected. Senator TIllman
supported the resolution which was
unexpectedly offered as a substitute
for a resolution over which there
had been much debate, presenting
the oath to be taken by candidates
for Congress in the approaching cleo
ton to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Congressman Stokes.
of the seventh district. The rules
proposed in that resolution were
plainly intended to cover the senate.

ton follows:
WHEREAS, The Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin, Jr., elected to represent the
State of South Carolina in the nation
al Congress, has by his Civilizations and
votes in that body, ignored the
national Democratic platform and
thereby misrepresented his State and
his Democratic constituency who
elected him, therefore be it
"ResOJved, That it is the sense and
conviction of the State Democratic
Executive Committee that Senator
MoLaurin, from the standpoint of
honesty and self-respect, should ten

CIRCULATED AS CURRENCY.
Bills of a Bank Dead Fifty Years Ago.

Bills Of a Bank Dead Fifty Years Ago.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Chief
Wilkie of the secret service has re-
ceived a number of bank notes prin-
ted from the original plates used by
the State bank of Newbrunswick,
N. j., over so years ago. The bank
went out of existence some time in
the SOS, and it was supposed that
the steel plates from which it's notes
were printed destroyed. It seems,
however, that these plates have fall
len into the hands of parties who
have printed from them large guam
titles Of notes which have been put
into circulation from New York to
San Francisco. A very large per-
centage of the notes, so far discov-
cred, are twOs, although some ones
and fves are being sent in. Inas-
much az the notes are not counter
feits of any United States note or
obligation, the makers and passers
can not be prosecuted under the
United States law, bat it is said they
can be- punished for fraud under the
State laws. 1t is said that possibly
81, OOO, 900 of these notes are in circu-
Ia&icn.

NEXT PRESIDENT A DEMOCRAT.

So senator Jones Thinks-seleCt Some Dis
Greet Jurist or Business Man.
SEARY, ARK, July 24-In a speech
here to, day Senator James z. Jones
expressed the belief that the next
President will be a Democrat. While
he would cheerfully support D. B.
Hill, or any other man whom the
Democrats might nominate, his
opinion is that the party might dis
play wisdom in selecting some dis.
Greet jurist or now obscure business
man, whose record is faultless. Sen
ator Jones said no meeting of the
Democratic National Committee is
likely to be held before February %,
1904.

Acting on the recent proclamation
of Governor Savage, that prayer be
altered for rain, nearly all the
churches of Omaha held meetings
Friday. In Kansas rains that day
have caused an effectual break in
the drOuth. The rains came too
late to be of material benefit to the
corn, but will result in plenty of
stock water and give new life to the
pastures.

AN IMPORTANT TARIFF PROBLEM.

Unusual significance will attach to
the filling of the vacancy of chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, in the United States sen
ate, caused by the death of Cushman
K. Davis, of Minnesota, because of
it's bearing on the tariff policyl,Of the
Republican party, which promises
to be the most interesting phase of
the political procedure of the next
session of Congress. The first name
on the list is that of Senator Frye,
of Maine the second, of Senator
Cullom, of Illinois ; and the third,
of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
Senator Lodge is said to be ambi-
tious to secure the Craftsmanship,
while MI. Frye is understood not to
wish it. The question, therefore,
wonld be between the Massachusetts
Senator and Mr.. Cullom. The i'm
portance of the choice rests in the
fact that Mr.. Lodge has been one of
most earnest opponents of the recip
rocity policy, while Mr.. Cullom has
become convinced that the CONNER
cial interests of the United States de.
mand the ratification of such treat,
les. A sentiment is rapidly growing,
among those actively engaged in in
dustrial pursuits that the time is at
hand when the Republican party
must submit to an attack upon its
protective policy. Senator Cul.on
declares that at least a modification
OF the policy is necessary, for the
United States to hold the position of
commercial supremacy into which it
has leaped. Senator Lodge thinks
otherwise. At any rate, this ques-
tion will form one Of the most inter
esting and important debates Of
many year,, and its outcome, next
winter, will have a vital effect in
trade circle4. The extraordinary
showing made by the treasury de-
partment this year will be a factor.
Success for August.

filled on the Baltimore & Ohio by the resig-
nation of William Solomon from the chair

later on. At any rate, it is quite apparent
that Mr.. McCrea will not take II, as a
change from existing relations will not be
what he desires, and being made president
Of the Baltimore & Ohio would not be con-
sidered a promotion. Mr.. McCrea is one of
the strongest of the strong men in the
Pennsylvania organization, and there is no
intention on the part of the Pennsylvania

Mr.. McCrea intimately would give no
credence to the report. The office of presi-
