From oar Scalar Correspondent President Cleveland mn.v in de feriiee to tlie nt tempt of the leaders of the House to dhkk the bill reported fron. -the committee on Banking and Cinrency, which was dru'wn in Hicordanee with the re- Vomtnendations of his spec ial nrinonncf ment of thn bond issue for which all ar ra nenien tH have been made, but a careful canvass ol the Senate haa shown that no bill passed b.v the House can possibly et through theSin ate; hence the bond issue is inevitable. It will afford the Treasury that relief which Congress has so persistently denied, and that relief is nee essar.v is HcknowledgMi, a I ike by thosi who favor and those who oppose the issue of bonds. ' It isn't whar, the ad ministration would like to do, but what it has got to do in the absence of Congres sion il relief. ; The House committee on Rules willj'eport air order for the consideration of the fi nancial bill oh Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday of this Aeek.and when the vote is taken on "that order it will be seen how much influence the President's special ines sage had with the Demcciats of the House. If the rule be adopted it is probable that the House will pass the bill in some shape; but if it beTe jected there will be no further hope of financial legislation at the present session. Senators Ca fiery and Blan chard of La., icompanied a delegation of New Orleans business men in n call upon President Cleveland to ascer tain his views upon the pay ment of the sugar bounty for the year 1894. Members of the delegation were surpris ed and pleased to find that the President was thorough ly posted on the subject, and were still more pleased when he told them he was in favor if the payment of one half oi the bounty for '94 and would gl.idly co-operate with l hem securing the necessary Congressional legislation. Chairman McCreary, of the House Committee on For eign Affairs made a few sen sibleand well-timed remarks concerning the disposition of Republicans to introduce all sorts of resolutions concern ing Hawaii just for the pur pose of making Buncombe ) ehes thereon. Fie said that the actions of this ad ministration on Hawaiian matters had been in accord incewith international law ind with the policy of this country for a hundred years, md that if a different, policy Aere to be fillowed the gov ernment might he called, up on to send warships all over the world, and to interfere wherever there was trouble.

The Solici tor General is next in rank to the Attorney General u ll di draws a salary of only a thou sand dollars less. Although the resignation of Solicitor General Maxwell was a great surprise outside of the depart ment of jus' ice, there was lit tle or no foundation foP the sensations which have been built up around it. TV re was no quarrel between Judge Maxwell und Mr. Olaey, al though there have been nu merous differences 61 opinion between them, such as are common enough between law yers who are the best o f friends. .Judge Maxwell's prin cip'.e reason for resigning was that the illness ofhislawpart ner m.ide it ne.jessary for him to return to Cincinnatti and take charge -.f their legil practice. Holmes Conrad, of Virginia, was appointed to the vacancy. ''Under the alleged divinity w hich doth hedge all legisla tion concerning men wdi o served in the IT. S. uruiy du ring; the recent war theie is a viiet amo-int of crookedness. A case in noint is the bill to place Lt. Col. 'J.

This man who has for years been a $1 200 clerk in the War depart ment and the recipient of $20 a month pension, was dis missed from the armv in dis grace in 1863, for using and writing abusive lanuuage to brother officers for playing 'peeping Tom" in a hotel.

Today for the first timesince the 4th of March, 1893, the democrats have less than a majority of the Senate. There are now 80 Sena tors, and the democrats have only forty three. When the two addi tional republicans, one each from Wyoming and Washing ton, take their seats, there will be 88 senators, the r publicans having 40 and the populists o. Whether the re publicans and populists wil combine to reorganize the Senate is as yet unknown, but the probabilitiesarethat thy will, after the fourth of March, when the democratic strength will be still lurther reduced.

David E. Bower was born in Ashe county, N. C, three miles from Jefferson, January 10th, 1814, und died at,, hi hoiimin the Yadkin Valley January 27th, 1895. aged 81 years and 1 week. The burial was at t'e Horton family graveyard, where n large number of friends and neighbors came through the snow to testify their esteem lor the friend who had gone fiom them. The life and character of this man is a lesson and an inspiration. It is well for the living especially for the young to study them to learn how difficulties may be overcome and success and useful news achieved. Born an 1 reared upon a farm, inured to labor, without the aid of advanta geous circa instances, without the advantage of even a com mori s-hool education he at tended school about three months during boyhood but by patience and persever ence. industry and frugality. he gaining step by step'more tha" a comfortable estate; aim bnilded a character, so linn and strong, so broadly based on pr'mcip'es of truth, lustn e and integrity h name shall bye, and his innu ence reniiiiii indelible in the hearts and the li'yes of hisfe loivs. About the time he reached manhood he left his father's farm and began clerking for his uncle, (by marriage), the late .Ionian Councill, Esq. in the village of Boone. After a few years he formed a copart nership with his uncle, and re moved to Elkville, where he remained for. several years meivhaiu'ising. Here it was lie met the lady who after wards became his wife. In 1849 he was most hap pily married to Rebecca, dau ghterofthe late Gen. Win Horton, of Wilkes county. Dissolving business with his uncle, he removed to Roau's Creek, just inside the Tennes tee line, in Johnson county, wherehe engaged iu merchand ising and farming until Jan., 1803; when he came back to North Carolina and settlei on Mie farm boil'd't of t h i l a t e Col. Edmund Jones which was ever afterwaids his home. It sounds strange indeet: to us of the present day tt hear the old men recount their early experiences am describe the difficulties inci nent to every occupation. have heard Maj. Bower Mlo the long trips with wagons he made to Fayetteville and C dumbia, of driving cattle to Baltimore ar.d Philadel phia, the de?p muddy roads thedeep folds, the rain and snow qtorins, the accidents by the way, the jolly camp fires, the tricks und pranks of the rude wagoners of the niirht the stars lell and it all sounded like a romance His memory was remarka ble; his perception keen uta his conversation interesting I und instructive. He retainer r clearness and vigor of minr! to the last, entries in his ac count book being found tha was made during the last week ot his illness. Of simple manuers and plain speech; without affecta tion, despising shams and frauds, holding truth, hones; ty, sobriety and industry as cardinal virtues his charac ter may well be taken as an example for the young to fol ow. In business he was accu rate, painstaking and meth odical. His farm was a. .mod el of neatness und good cul- ivation, well supplied with L t . 1 houses, stocK, usyini toojs and appliances of conven ience.. As a friend he was true nnd aithful; as a neighbor kind and obliging, and of never- ailing charity to the poor and need.; as a man and cit izen he stood lour-square, a good word of advice here, o criticism there, seeking to in culcate by precept nnd exam ple, habits of thrift, frugali ty and morality, upholding right, condemning wrong it is such men w ho are the very foundation stones of our so cial structure. He was i member of the M E. Church South. Rev. J. 0. Shelley, who held the funeral service, bore testimony to the libeinl response he gave to his churches needs, unknown probably to any but the re cipient. Several children have pre ceded him totheSpirit-land 1 licrr; I cumin inn uciwicu wife, a son, now the distin gnished Representative o f this district in Congiess, and two daughters, Miss Kiter and Mrs. Carter Winkler of Wilkes county. After a life full of years and usefulness he longed for rest. With no fear ot death, with perfect composure, his heart at neace with God and the worhr. he bade the messen ger welcome nnd gently pass ed to his reward. tor seven years or more MrsW. D. Louder, of Quincy, Kv. was subject to severe at tucks of cramp colic. Mr. S. R.

"Few people realize that North Carolina is more than 500 miles in length, or that if New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut Rhode Islands, Delewareaml New Jersey were all made in to one S.tate, it would lack over 5,000 square miles of be ing as large as North Carolr na.

The remark of Representa tive Henderson, of Wilkes, "We've got the Coon," when a Democrat rebuked the fus- ionists for adopting the "French" rules throttling the majority, recalls an incident of the 1868-'69. . Igisla ture that has become histor- ical in the county of Wayne. A citizen of that county re- . inonstrated with Ins Repub- lisan Representative for the f x travaganeeof that Legisla ture. I he solon defended ' himself and his party with the statement, "We've got the coon, and while we'vegot him we propose to skin him." Ever afterward this distin guished legislators was known in Wayne as the Coon-skinner." He is now dead, but his mantle has worthily fallen on Mr. Hen derson, of Wilkes.
