THE NEW PRO POSITION IS TO REMOVE THE PROHIBITION FOR ALL STATE BANK ISSUE. The New York Journal of Commerce, the highest authority on financial ques tions in the United States, has in its issue of March 15, 1S93, the following to say editorially of the State Banking Act passed by the lust North Carolina Legis lature: "It is well known that only by a very strained interpretation of the Federal Constitution can the right to prohibit the issue of notes from the State bank be up held and the 10 per cent, tax justified. An act of Congress forbidding State bunks to issue circulating notes would be negatory, the Federal government having no power in the premises. The tax in question was not laid for revenue, but designed solely to prohibit the issue of these notes. May Congress solely for the one purpose levy a prohibitory tax when tho prohibition itself is not within its power ? The tax ought to be repealed and that without any conditions. But some people are so apprehensive that "wildcat banking" would follow the re newed liberty that they hesitate to indorse the demand for this repeal. We noticed in our former article the project to do away with the tax on condition that the notes shall be issued under a statue pre cisely similar to the Federal Banking act. "The new proposition is to remove the prohibition for all State bank issue, the par redemption of which shall be guar anteed by the jState in which the bank is located. When this was sent to us last week by a member of Congress for our opinion we replied that we knew of no State likely to furnish such a guaranty. At the very moment, but without our knowledge, an act had been passed by the State of North Carolina embodying this peculiar feature. We have a copy on our desk covering forty printed pages and too long for description here. But it proposes a banking system which fur nishes the most ample security for the note holder. The State is to have the right to subscribe for one third of the capital stock of each institution, and to name one third of the directors. The 4 per ceut. bonds of the State to pay the subscription are to be held as security. The State is to guarantee every note and to see its redemption. This act has been passed by the General Assembly and is now the law of the State. It makes provision for a vote of the people to change the Constitution, by which the statue shall become legally effective. The system, if thus approved, is to be inaugu rated within ninety days after the repeal by Congress of the tax on State bank issues. It is sufficient to say that no loss could come to a note holder thus protected. It is an illustration of a statement we made some years ago that if State banks were permitted to issue the flexible currency so much needed in this country, the States would see to it, by appropriate legislation, that no loss fell upon the holders of the desired cir- fMilHtino.

A BRIEF PRAYER, A SHOTTED IIA.U MOH THE LEE RAIL. AND ALL IS OVER. On board a ship of war a sailor's funer al is pathetic in its dignified simplicity. No muster of the ship's company is, nat urally, so sad as this, and you can see on the faces of all when the subdued shrill ing of the bo'sw'n's whistle is followed by the long drawn out and modulated call of "All hands to bury the dead!" The men come aft quickly and take their al ! "tted stations. To lee-ward, if it be at sea, or upon the port side of the quarter deck if in port, the seamen are ranged in the front rank; behind them are the ordinary seamen, and in the rear of both the apprentices and the landsmen. In this the gangway forward of the main mast on such ships as still have sail pow er, senior petty officers stand at attention. Around the coffin, folded in the jack or national ensign, are grouped the pallbear ers, selected usually from the dead man's mess or gun division, and close at hand resting on arms, the marine guard is paraded. Nearest the coffin are the chaplain and the captain, and then in order of their rank stretch aft the other officers of the ship. The ensign at the peak or staff flut ters tremblingly at half mast, and from overhead the yard and stay tackles swing lazily, ready to lift the coffin outboard. When the weather permits the way of the ship is stopped, and, it may be, little flickers of idling steam curl upward and lee-ward like incense, and the wind in the backed and fretting topsails murmurs a dirge. The order to "uncover" is passed gently, and while the beautiful words of the burial service are being read the hush of the living is accentuated by the low accompaniments of sea sounds by the rumble of eager waters eddying stern ward, and by the surging of the breeze in the hollows of the canvass and through the rigging and gear. When the closing prayer is said, the last blessing given, the tackles are manned, the coffin is stripped of its fhgs and slung in straps and slowly, reverently, is hoisted above the rail and clear of the ship, until it is poised above the billows . The marines load, aim, fire, in all three volleys, that awaken rattling noises echoes i n the hid. den space of the ship; the bugle sounds "taps" tenderly and sweetly, with a new er meaning of sleep and rest; the coffin Bwiugs further out, and is lowered gently until the foam aud spoondrift moisten it; the tackles are detached sudden jerk, and in an instant the weighted box shoots downward, bedded in foam and bubbles, and all is over until the sea gives up the dead. In a little while the cheery whistle thrill out a call for duty, the half masted ensign climbs to the dasher block, the ship brought to her courso and dazedly the men take up the wearying routiue cf the lives so sadly broken. Ao unusual quiet rests upon the vessel and around the mess table; but in the groups gathered to smoke during the: sapper hour aud after the hammocks are piped down, the virtues those heroio and honest sea virtues of the dead sailor are recalled and with a tenderness born of a comrade ship closer than any other men except soldiers may know.

THE SCHOOL IS TO BE BUILT ON THE SWANNANOA, NINE MILES EAST OF ASHEVILLE. Jfartr Pern & bmkea iowa trcm overwork : .' uphold caret. Brown's Iron bitter i:rbuiid tha intern, aidi dlgUon, removal exeou of bUe, tod curai miliaria, Ut the genuine. Buncombo county is to have another noble institution for the education of the youth of the country. It is not to be located in Asheville, but at a point as near here as the desired property could be procured. The institution will be known as the Boys' Farm school, and will be erected and conducted under the auspices of the Board of Home Missions of the Presby terian church in America. The land which the school will be built was the property of Messrs. Davidson and Sherrill, and situated on the Swanna noa river, nine miles east of Asheville, three miles from Cooper's, and 1 miles from the Western North Carolina rail road. There are nearly 400 acres in the tract, of which 200 acres are bottom land, and the consideration was $14,000. Samuel Jeffrey, who has lately had charge of the farm department of Cornell university, is now on the ground and will superintend the school and farm. The erection of the school building proper, which will be somewhat after the style of the Asheville Normal and Callegiate institute, will be begun as soon as the ar rangements necessary can be completed. The education offered by the school will be a thorough English one, together with practical training in the agricultural and mechanical pursuits, such as carpen try, blacksmithing, stonecutting, eto. In short, the school will offer to young men and boys an education that will thorough ly fit them to make their way in the world, an honor to themselves and their country. Tbe school will be built to accomodate about 250 boys, and will be ready for opening by the first of October, this year. Tho originator of this splendid idea is Dr. L. M. Pease, of Asheville, from whese labors have resulted the Home In dustrial school and tho Normal and Collegiate institute in Asheville. The negotiations loading up to the purchase of property for the Boys' Farm school were conducted by Dr. Pease. WAITED UNTIL DARK. AN INSTANCE OF THE UNION OF PRIDE AND POVERTY. Pride and poverty often go hand in hand. A lady advertised for a woman to take her washing, and was called upon by a young girl in a veil and kid gloves, who said that her mother would like to get family washing, as she needed the money. "Will you take it with you? asked the lady. "Oh, no, ma'am; not in the daytime, said' the girl, looking quite hurt, "I will come for it after dark." But she did not come and the lady, after waiting several days, sent her wash ing to a laundry. In about two weeks the girl called in the evening. 'Tvj come for (b wash." sho said. But you are too late; I have made other arrangements," said tho lady; "be sides, you did not keep your word and come that evening, as you said you would." "I know it, ma'am," answered the girl, "but when I promised I forgot tht it was moonlight. You see I couldn't curry home a wash when it was us light as day." And she had actually waited until thero was no moon before she called again. Her pretensions bad lost her mother good customer. Detroit Free Press.

AN INTERESTING COMPARI SON. THE BOYS WHO SMOKE AND THOSE WHO DO NOT. All observant teachers are aware of the effect which the use of tobacco has upon the school boys. It is declared by men of long experience in teaching that smoking makes boys sluggish and that the capacity for study is greatly impaired. Recently investigations have been made to ascertain the effect of tobacco upon the physical development. The board of health of the State of New Jersey has issued circulars to teachers of the public schools of the State containing interroga tories upon this subject. Dr. Lai. an Dennis, of Newark, who has paid much attention to the subject, has prepared an article giving the results of some of bis investigations, which appears in the re port of the board of health for 1892. It seems that measurements made ' f 187 students at Yale College showed tl . t the noi-users of tobacco gained over li e users t'uring the college year in weila 22 per cent, in height 29 per cent., iu girth of chest 19 per cent., in luij. capacity GO per cent. Measurement made ao Amherst College showed even greater difference in favor of those who do not use tobacco. Thero is really but little temptation for boys to nuoke. In order to acquire the habit th :y undergo agonies of nausea, and the chief incentive to the habit is, per haps, the belief that it increases their importance. It is useless to argue with them or to advise them that they lower themselves in public estimation by smok ing, rather than raisins themselves. But if it is possible to convince them that their standing in baseball or foot ball will be impaired by the habit, the more am bitious bsyswill give up tobacco. Of this the athletic associations bear abundant testimony. Members of them have reporter.1 that the use of tobacco is harm ful toyung men in training for a contest which l equires strength and endurance, Baltimore Sun. HOW TO GET YOUR MAIL INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO WILL ATTEND THE WORLD'S FAIR. Po itmaster General W. S.
