TUESDAY, JULY 14. 1891. Tue Kansas Alliance haring de clined to fuse with the Democrats as they did to some extent at the last election, the Democrats out there have recognized the necessity of patting oat a straight ticket. And now it is said that Lincoln wanted a war Democrat on the tieket with him in 1864, and indicated his preference for Gen. Butler, who per emptorily declined the proferred al liance. Gen. Butler has his Me moirs in press, and this is a good ad vestisement. —» ~— ■ At the close of the past week, the money market was represented as in active and expectant. A noticeable feature being the total absence of anything like pressure, and in spite of the enormoas movement of specie to Europe since January 1, the amount being nearly $70,000,000, the position of the New York banks is reported as stronger than they were a year ago. Money is accumu lating at the financial centers with a tendency to wait on the morph of events. Until the movement of the crop is fully defined speculators are disposed to be inactive. The ‘‘squadron of evolution” has been engaged in drilling the Boston Naval militiamen, and will soon go to New York for the purpose of intro ducing the naval militiamen there to “life on ship board.” This is the subject about which Governor Holt recently wrote the Secretary of the Navy, and received the encouraging reply heretofore pnblished. The vol unteer companies of the different States would be an invaluable aid to the regular army in case of danger, and so would a naval militia be to the navy. The system of drilling referred to will have the tendency to popularize the navy with the people, and cause greater interest to be taken in its efficiency. M -#■ 1i It is our understanding that these who may oppose the snb-treasary bill are in no sense unfriendly to legislation that will give the people relief from pecuniary depression. There is no difference of opinion among our people as to the end to be attained, but the best and most ef fective means to be employed very naturally give rise to divergent views. Let them be careful and not allow such opposing views to become so dogmatic that reason will not be able to intervene and reconcile all seem iDg conflicts. Our government was first organized upon the principle oJ; compromise, and had this great con sex vative principle failed to have asserted itself, the government would never have been organized at all. In the councils of the Democratic party there will be no ear deaf tocounsel in favor of a fair and liberal spirit of conciliation, and he who writes or speaks otherwise does so without au thority. ■ - In an interesting summary on the exports and imports of fruit by the United States, Bradstreet says: The consumption of fruit in the United States, as of many other pro ducts, exceeds that of any other coun try. Although large producers and exporters, we are still dependent to a considerable extent upon foreign countries for supplies. Our ship ments last year of green, dried and preserved fruits were valued at $4,031,686. Our surplus products are taken mostly by European conn tries, the states of Central America, Cuba and the British West Indies, which supply us with a large part of our tiopical fruits, importing in re turn but very little from this coun try. In 1890 we exported 20,861,462 pounds of dried apples, of wbich 2,804,850 pounds went to Belgium, 8,729,553 pounds to France, 4,8C9,- 122 pounds to Germany, 1,645,778 pounds to England, 2,047,811 pounds to the Netherlands, 52,750 pounds to Norway and Sweden, 118,880 pounds to Scotland, leaving but 672,718 pounds taken by all other countries. Os the 453,506 barrels of green apples exported in 1890, 380,- 174 barrels were shipped to Europe 2,710 barrels to Central 4,809 barrels to South America' 2,923 barrels to Cuba, and 1,493 barrels to the British West Indies Australia is a large consumer of our exported fruit. In 1890 she took 531,145 pounds of dried apples, valuod at $34,010; 19,730 pounds of green apples, valued ot $53,924, and $140,309 worth of canned fait, or about one-fifth of our total ship ments. We shipped in 1890 to Cen tral America canned goods to the value of $24,411, and to South America $18,341. England is the largest single importer of our canned fi uits. Her receipts last year from this country amounted to $273,354, which were more than two-fifth* of par total shipment*. The silvor dollar of 1878 is called the Bland dollar, aa if Bland were the father of the T-easure under which it was coined. As a matter of fact, Bland was a leader in the silver movement, and the Democratic House passed a free coinage bill, but the Senate rejected it, and the House had to take the Sherman silver bill which was substituted in the Senate. That act required the purchase of $2,000,000 » month of silver bullion, and its coinage, and allowed the Treasury Department to double th3 amount iu Ps discretion, but the de partment never would exercise that discretion. Last year a bill was passed requiring the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month, ard the issue of notes upon it. Sher man also approved chat bill, and now approves it, but he does not favor free coinage. Free coinage is right and proper; but it will not answer all the needs of this country in the matter of cur rency. The Financial Chronicle it self says: “Stated in few words, ex perience shows that what this country requires is: (1) A paper and not a coin currency. (2) A currency that will not gravitate towards and accu mulate in New York every summer. (3) It must be a note which, when out of use, will have an unfailing ten dency towards the home of the issuer, kept in readiness there for any com ing need.” This means a local currency. A ourreney issued by State banks. The basis of it should be specie, silver and gold, and United States legal tender note*. That will solve the problem. — -»• ——— The Empire of China appears to be on the verge of a revolution. A Tartar has sat upon the throne for a long time, but custom has not les sened the desire of Chinese for a na tive ruler. The recent attacks on foreign residents is supposed to be part of a plan to involve the govern ment in a war with foreign powers, givingjthe insurgents the opportunity of moie successfully attacking it. However this may be the government of the United States does not make a creditable showing in the prepara tion to protect American interests. There are more Americans at Shanghai than at any other port in in Asia, and, from last accounts, their lives and interest were threat ened by .large Chinese, mobs, but, notwithstanding the threatened dan ger, the whole naval force in Asiatic waters that could be spared for their protection was two old wooden boats, neither of wt’ch would ven ture to sea if the wind was blowing an ordinary gale. From both there could not be landed more than one hundred and fifty marines. Such is the protection the Harrison admin istration is affording Americans and their interest abroad. In a reported interview Hon. W. O. Oates, of Alabama, denies that he ever said “that the Democracy must beat the Alliance out of existence,” or that he ever used any expression susceptible of such a construction. Mr. Oates says that, instead of being opposed to the Alliance, he favors all the demands of the order, except the sub-treasury and land loan bills, and the government ownership of rail roads. This is Senator George's po sition, and, as the Senator has been oalled a new convert to the faith, such of our contemporaries as have been abusing Congressman Oates upon hearsay and exparte statements may feci it incumbent to do him the justice of publishing his denial. WHAT EMIN IS DOING. Xhe Oerman Explorer's Progress Toward the Mountains of tlio Moon. Berliner Tageblatt. Emin Pasha set out on 22nd March from Kafuro, in a northwesterly di rection for Mpororo, on Lake Albert Edward. Lieutenant Dr. Btuhlmann remained in Kafuro to wait for the bearers who had been sent back by Emin to Buckoba, but was to follow him. From Mpororo it was intend ed, if possible, to make % scientific expedition to explore Ruwenzori, the Mountains of the Moon, which Mr. Stanley passed with his expedition. Lieutenant Langheld, with sixty eight men and 7,500 cartrigea, re mained at Bukoba. Emin and Dr. Stuhlmann were therefore rather short of ammunition, and intended to erect only one more station, which would be as far us possible to the northwest. After completing the expedition to the Mountains of the Moon Emin intends to return to Bagamoyo. He has sent a dwarf girl of the tribe of Monbuttu to Tabora, as he could not keep her with him on the mr*rch. Hitherto Winly one such dwarf has been brought to Europe. The Wangoni in Unyamwest, who at the begin ning of the year were severely chas tised by Licuteuarts Lannheld and Sigl, have sent to Tabora and begged for peace. They sent word that they were willing to go to the coast, and pay a hundred elephants’ tusks, if Major ven Wissmann would allot to them a district where they could set tle down. They had sustained fear ful losses. The presumptive suc cessor to the chieftainship was shot by Lieutenant Sigl and his brother by Lieutenant Langheld, and they were without a leader, a? the Snltan, Vembe Moto, was weak with old age. -—"" 1 *■ <—».

The hardest thing to do is to get people to thiDg of the things that concern them most, The Southern Teachers in Session. 1 Cor. of the News aad Observer. * Lookout Mountain, July 9. The Southern Educational Asso- 1 ciation is no longer an experiment, ’ but a fact and a fixed institution in the South. Four hundred and more of the foremost men in the profes sion 0? teaching from sixteen States have main this meeting historical. We arrived last night, after a jour ney rendered agreeable by the show ers of the night before. Wheeling rapidly through the uplands of South Carolina and northern Georgia, we noticed that the growing crops were not advanced beyond our own —cot- ton was small, with an insufficient stand; the corn for a hundred and fifty miles was so bent as to be nearly levelled, by the violence of a great wind blowing toward the north and went. The weather is 0001, and on the top of this famous mountain it is so cold that the spacious auditorium built for the sessions of this body has been deserted after the first night. Fires are burning brightly in the parlors of this magnificent building, known as Lookout Inn. The scenery here is indeseribably grand. The eye sweeps over the valley of the Tennessee, with the city of Chatta nooga far below; Mission Ridge in a long and waving line beyond the city lines, and the plains of bloody Chickamauga in full view. Eight States, it is said, are seen from the tower of this structure, and the land scape varies every hour. The ascent is made by rail, and occupies an hour, the height above the level of the sea being 2,600 feet. The address of welcome was de livered by ex-Gov. Taylor, of Ten nessee, and was largely devoted to magnifying and enlarging upon the teacher’s mission, while it was warm and cordial in its welcome. The responses from the several States were happy and effective, and bursts of eloquence were frequently interrupted by applause, and were delivered in this order* Prof. Joyrxes, for South Carolina; Zsitter, for Georgia; Seals, for Flor ida; Denson, for North Carolina; Gaines, for Kentucky; Preston, for Mississippi; Palmer, for Alabama; Smith, for Tennessee; Merwin, for Missouri; Conger, for Arkansas; Easton, for Louisiana; Hall, for Texas. From the response for North Car olina by Capt. C. B, Denson, we ex tract the following: “When North Carolina receives a greeting from Tennessee, it does not come from a stranger’s hand. Mine is a land of memories, the State of Raleigh’s Roanoke, where the Atlan tic wave first kisses this Southern strand, and Anglo-Saxon feet first pressed tirs continent—of the field of Alamance—of the Mecklenburg Declaration,voicing the will of a peo ple to be free, whose King’s Moun tain and Guilford redeemed the pledge. But whatever is glorious iu our Revolutionary past belongs no less to you, for Tennessee is the only daughter of North Carolina. As onr sparkling mountain streams leap from their rocky home, and glide with soft music through the “Land of the Sky,” only to pour from their mountain valleys, and lose them selves iu your winding Tennessee; so North Caiolina’s revolutionary blood and traditions and history melt into your own. The grand Appalachian slopes are our common heritage, uniting an either side in the self-same peaks that cleave our Southern skies, bright with the sunlight of a common dee tiny. United by the rocky ribs -of nature’s fashioning—united by the blood poured out together on this consecrated spot, and yonder field below, of Chickamauga; united in heart, in hopes, in duty to the young today, in a glorous fruition for pcs terity. Three times the Old North State sent you her sons—in Andrew Jack son, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson. Three times Tennessee with her mighty arm, gave them to immortal fame. Now we entrust to you our latest gift to the South and her children. It is the Southern Edu cational Association. Launched at Morehead one year ago, it was de signed while securing all that is val uable in the progress of the times, to preserve forever all that i* grand and glorious in Southern traditions. To your pilotage we commit this bark, assured that in true Scuthem hands it will sail on, freighted with the richest treasures, unto the haven of success.” This morning Miss Conway, of Memphis, Teun., presented a paper upon “A University for Girls in the South,” of thrilling eloquence, which was received with enthusiasm and di*- cusred by Prof. Palmer, of Alabama; Dr. Calloway, of Georgia; Merwin, of Missouri; Hogg of Texas, and others. The President’s address (Prof. Shinn, Stafe Superintendent of Schools of Arkansas) followed, and was directed to a review of the work to be performed by the association, and was a masterly production. Prof. Joynes (Columbia, 8. C ) read an exceedingly philosophical paper upon “The Relation of the State to Higher and Professional Education as to College*.” The various sections upon Peda gogy, Superintendence, Southern Literature, etc , convened at 3p. m., when many interesting topic* were discussed, and at 4:30 p. m., in general session, papers were read by Prof. Van Wie, of Alabama, on Normal Schools, and by Prof. Bartholomew, of Kentucky, upon High Schools. Capt. .Denson presented the resolu tions of the North Carolina Teacher*’ Assembly, gave a sketch of the opera tions of that body, and tendered its invitation to the association to meet in North Carolina next year. Many men of power are here, and not a few noble women, who take an | active part. There are 75 from Texas * and 60 from Mississippi. El Pseo, 1 on the very border of Mexico, has a representative in a young lady who spoke of her journey as if it T7ere an afternoon ride. At every turn ope meets with some one of wide fame in the scholastic world. Dr. Hodgson, Chancellor of the University of the Sonth (Sewanee), is here. The North Carolinians are few, but they have been well remembered, Our inde fatigable Harrell is secretary, which in itself insures success. Prof. Ellis is assistant secretary. D. H, Hill, Jr., is on the executive committee,' and Capt. Denson is chairman of the committee on resolutions, to which proposition* are referred. The as sociation will not remain in session long, on account of the nearness of date of meeting of the National Ed ucational Association at Toronto, whither many are going. This is a very significant and im portant gathering, which will lead to great results bye and bye, and the Old North State will be forever asso ciated with the inception of an under taking so full of consequence to the Sonth. Tomorrow the interests of the Inter-State Immigration Bureau and their forthcoming exposition at Raleigh will be represented, and a grand educational exhibit asked for, to co-operate with Gen. Chilton anc, Secretary Patrick. X X X. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 10. Today has been crowded with in terest in the meeting of the South ern Educational Association. Prof. D. H. Hill, Jr., (North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege) presented a masterly paper upon Southern histories, showing the injustice dealt the South by Northern authors, and urging the South to write her own histories; to reject the untrue and ud just books in our schools, and to collect every where the materials for authentic history. This was ably discussed by Maj. Seaton, of Atlanta, whoshowed from his personal experience the un truth of the story of the “Battle above the Clouds,” by Hooker, on Lookout, and related how Hooker’s men passed through an unpicketed gap up au incline that a horse could gallop over, instead of charging the heights, as reported by a correspond ent, who has since confessed that he was two hundred miles away when the battle occurred. Papers on “Drawing” and “Eng lish in Prepatory Schools”, Ac., were read, and a very fine production upon “The Classics in Education” by Prof. Wiggins, of the University of the South. Capt. Denson, of Raleigh, chair man of the committee on resolutions, made an address in behalf of the educational exhibit of the Southerr Iyiter State Exposition at Raleigh id October and November next, and in troduced resolutions which were adopted, Jpledging the 'co-operation of the Southern Educational Asso ciation, and naming a committee o‘ one from esch State to assist in se , caring the exhibit for the Raleigh exposition. The proposition met with a warm and hearty response ( from this splendid body, which has; new enrolled upwards of 400 mem bers of the flower of the cultured men and women of the South. The afternoon session was largely devoted to the public school systems of the various States. Hon Solomon Palmer, of Alabama, was elected presi: dent and Engene G. Har roll, of North Carolina, Secretary, in spite of the latter’s declination. The placo of the next meeting will be fixed by the executive committee. It will proba bly go to Atlanta or Birmingham, and in one more year this influential body will reach many more hundreds. A member of the National Educa tional Association for twenty-two years past, declares that nothing in the way of addresses and papers be fore that body has ever jurpasted the bursts of eloquence, and the pro found thoughts of educators intent upon their great work, in this meet ing. The only drawback to complete saccess is the absurdity of meeting near a city whose press did not have a single reporter on the ground at Lookout Mountain, but made up im aginary acoounts from the pubhsned programme. Such a mistake will surely never occur in any other city of the South. Vve are all gratified that North Carolina has asserted her self, and carried eff so many of the honors. Adjourned to-night. * * * ■ 1 1 ■ l --1■ 1 mm mm Evenings at School, This is the title of a new book by Clara Marshall, “copywrighted,lß9l, by Hunt and Eaton, New York.” The book has two hundred ard seventy pages, divided into fifty chap ters. It has no story, not plot, no catastrophe; and jet it has interest— much of it. The scene is the back parlor of a female boarding schol. The action is a lively criticism, on the part of the young ladies, each speaking in turn for herself, of the peculiarities, foibles and weaknesses Os each other, with a cage remark, now and then, from Mrs. Duval, the principal, to season the talk, thus : “ And clothes,” added Hattie Hammond, when Miss Metcalf said of a girl, “She hasn’t a decent dress to her name,” she expressed quite as much contempt as Belle does when she tosses her head and says, “ignorant, underbred creature I” Every angle of character, every rugged point of manner, every discordant tone of dress is looked at, picked at and chirped over, in the back parlor of St. Maiy’s boarding school, with all the vivacity of the English sparrow. And sc, through the fifty chapters of the bcok, these fair maidens, each in her turn, hold* up the mirror before the face of her sister that she may see herself as “ithers” see her. The conception of the bock is happy. Our fair friends are permit- I fed, themselves, to point oqt tfte good and bad joints of esch o+he’*, i and thus the artist has given ns all j the ripple and freshness r.f j voices and pouting lips aod sunny hair \ The type is clear, the cleaD and pure, and so are the contents of the book. We commend it, most especially, to our school g I frien Is, for therein, to repeat a rese, 1 they may see themselves a* otbc, a see them. Misa Marshall is a Southern lady, [ a native of the State of L nisi ana. Gambling'. “My Dearest Boy : “There is a matter which gave me muoh uneasiness, when you men tioned it. You said you had put into some lottery for the Derby, and had hedged to make safe. “Now, all that is bad, bad, noth ing but bad. Os all habits, gam bling is the one I hate most; aad have avoided most. Os all habits it grows most on eager minds. Succor and loss alike make it grow. Os all habits, however much civilized men may give way to it, it is one of the intrinsically savage. Historically, it it has been the peace excitement of the lowest brutes in human form for ages past. Morally, it is unchival rous and un Christian. “ (1) It gains money by the lowest and most unjust means, for it takes money out of your neighbor’s pocket, without giving him anything in re turn. “(2) It tempts you to use what you fancy your superior knowledge of a horse’s merits—or anything else —to your neighbor’s harm. “If you know better than your neighbor, you are bound to give him your advice. Instead, you-, conceal your knowledge, to win from his ig norance ; hence come all sorts of concealments, dodges, deceits—lsay the devil is the only father of it. “I hope you have not won—l should not be sorry for you to lose. If you have won, I shall not congrat ulate you. If you wish to please me, you will give back to i*s lawful own ers the money you have won. As you had put in, you could not in honor d aw back till after the event. Now, you can give back your money, say ing you understand that the head master and I disapprove of such things, and so gain a very great moral influence. “Recollect always that the stock argument is worthless. It is this : ‘My friend would win from me if he could, therefore I have an equal right to win from him.’ Nonsense. The sarre argument would prove that I have a right to or kill a man, if only I auve him loave to maun or kill me, if he can, and will. “I have spoken my mind once and for al!, on a matter on which I have held the same views for more than twenty years, and trust in God you will not forget my words in after life.
