The old Custon-house on Wall street
can be turned over to the National
City Bank within the next two years
and deprive certain people of a ,ricv-
ance. Congress has IL very short
memory. At the late session both
houses refused to make en- appropria-
ton to pay the rent which is due the
City Bank for the use Of the old GUS
tom-housc. Five years ago an act was
passed at the urgent solicitation OF the
New York members. directing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to sell the old
custom-house to the highest bidder for
pot less than $3,O0O.OOO and expend
the money in the purchase of new
site. Mr. Gage, who was Secretary of
the Treasury. obeyed these instruc-
tons, and sold the building for 1885,
900. Under the act the purchaser was
to permit the government to retain
possession until the new building WAS
finished, for which it WAS provided
that an annual rental equal to 4 per
cert. Of the purchase price should be
paid. It may have been an unprofit-
able real estate deal. but Congress was
to blame. The Secretary of the Trea-
sury did not recommend it. nor did any
other official: but Congress took the
initiative. The terms and conditions
were all expressed in the law, and they
were carried out explicitly. Now it is
considered polite and proper for the
same representatives who secured the
passage Of the law TO abuse Mr.. Gage.
They get up in the House annually and
abuse MIR. Gage for carrying out their
instructions. and last winter both
houses actually refused to appropriate
money to pay the rent. although it wiz
he provided for promptly In the urgent
deficiency bill at the next session.

Washington. May 21-The numer-
Gus requests reaching the Department

prepare series of tables showing the
principal articles imported from and
exported to Germany during a series
OF years. Twenty-one articles. or
groups of articles, having each a total
value OF $l.OOO,oOO or over. each, were
ported into the United States from

and twenty articles, having total
value of S1,0OO,OOO or over each, were
exported to Germany during the same

featured articles, chiefly iron and steel.
SILK manufactures, chemicals, cotton
goods, earthenware, furs and furskins
and toys, comprise the principal i'm
portatiOns into the United States from

More Notes from the Legislature.

Great satisfaction is expressed by
merchants at the news that the mer-
chants purchase tax will not appear
in the next revenue act.
The prediction that there would
be a compromise as to a divorce, law
proves to be a good one The act
of 1883 is to be again placed upon
the statute with the addition of di-
vorces for barbarous treatment of
a wife, in cases where she and her
husband have moved to another
State. A particular case is to be
reached by this provision. Abandon
ment is to be another cause for di-
vorce.
State Auditor Dixon interviewed
regarding pension matters said he
had no dougt that the appro-
priation to 1927, 900 would pass, this
enabling fourth-class pensioners and
widows to receive $40 a year, who
now only get $14. He says there
seems to be no opposition to the in
crease. The first pension law in
North Carolina of a general charac-
ter was enacted in 1885, the appro-
priation then being $4,000. The
number of pensioners has since then
steadily increased and has now reach
ed 1900. Auditor Dixon says he
does not believe there will, in the
future, be much increase, owing to
the large number of deaths. There
are a great many more deaths re-
ported this year than at any previ-
Gus year, the number in fact being
almost double.-Col. f. A. Odds.

progress in the educational interests
of North Carolina. There is an in
crease of 20,207 white children and
of 4,476 negro children, in the en-
rollment of last year and this year,
and a total increase in the average
daily attendance of IL 1891 white and
1926 negro children during the two
years. The increase in enrolment
and average attendance is very great
ly in excess of the increase in school
population. During the past two
years there has been an increase of
$475,166 in the school fund and of
S390,OS1 in the amount raised by 10
cal taxation. During the two years
$319,576 was spent in building and
repairing school houses. much more
than double the amount spent for
thos purposes during the preceding
two years. One of the best features
of the report is that during the two
years three hundred and twenty
