' John Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust, and Deposit Com pany, of Baltimore, a Southern man and an eje -Confederate "soldier, writes to a business man of this city who had addressed him on the subject of an Investment! "To fee frank with you, t am not Inclined, at present, to consider any proposition in the fJouth Tim recent action '.' in dis regard' 6f the rights of .corporations disinclines me Jo put any money out In that direction ifor some time w come. Thare Is too much, Populism In the Couth. I think If men tike you and other prominent cltbsens of Charlotte -would come out and de nounce the action of as vlr tual confiscation of proper:y, it would have a goqd effect In restoring confi dence and business relations with that section of the country which has al ways commanded my love and affeC' tida." Gen, GUI does no: need any introduction In the South. There are those who say In effect "We do not i" ne ais ' outsld ers; we are able to finance ourselves." It looks as If such persons were b Ing regarded as representatives of the South and, are being taken, at their word.' -Yet when we get to '.hat point .wnere ouisiae capital unnui o cum manded we wH tie merely swapping dollars among , ourselves. All the money that Is brought In Is doubly serviceable, leaving our own for home enterprise and adding to the Bouth's working capital by, so much as it in creases It, All the money, for In stance, that a railroad brings In from the sale of its securities, for double tracklng'or other improvement, for disbursement here, la a net increase of the wealth of the South, It having been earned not here but elsewhere . Those who countenance radical leg islation or other action whlch drives capital away through unreasonable hostility to it are enemies of the South, of their neighbors and themselves. CART WHEELS AXI DIRTY BIMS. Because of an admitwion by United States Treasurer Threat that he finds It simply Impossible to keep pace with the demand for small bills Northern ettles are fearing that .they may be compelled to fall back upon the de spised cart-wheel ,noney for a while Silver v dollars have long been thoroughly ' unwelcome everywhere except In the South, owing to their weight and bulk. It 'nan umially been explained that the vogue of "tin money In this section arises from the negro's ' suspicious attitude toward paper money -an attitude not alto gether without reason Jn decades of sotwenlF Confederate bills and Illiter ate negroes, v When paper money was tendered litood a mich better chance ef 'accep'tiSlf drt and wear were present to afford some assurance of genuineness. Silver dollars and filthy, germy bills largely supply the Bouth's currency peed to-day, though ; the 'banks In enterprising centres like Charlotte are 'more- and moremaklng It a' practice to hand Out over their counters only fresh, crisp Mils ex cept, of course : for fractional amounts. . That this practice Is con tinually spreading gives the best evi dence of public appreciation and as sures lt permanency notwithstanding It Involves some little trounlo and expense, The - Southerner need no l"5ger.attract unpleasant attention by the filth and bulk of his money when he goes Jorth. This section can com mand the best in money, as In other things, and we are glad to see It be. ..inning o do so. AX fKDESIRABIJE BEQUEST.

As they passed the entrance of the Presbyterian Hospital, on sud denly jerked loose rrom , the ether, steadied himself for a moment 'and made this remarkable announcement: "Iv' got th' go damdesh besh mother llv'n." He reinforced his deliverance with a gesture that swept In the whole earth and a few stars 'also, ail but losing his feet as a result. His mind seemed to be perfectly relieved nd he' staggered on upVhe street, etIU Insisting as . the two passed Out of hearing. "Aln I tel'n y' right?' The man and his oa,th were easily dismissed from the mind of Jhe man that overhears the remark, but he of-, ten finds himself wondering about the mother. . Do you wish to see the pride and flower of our city? Come out on the square at the hour wnen women move along the street' and the tension of the hard day Is over. Do you see that gentleman leaning against; the mail-box. Well, study him closely; for we are. very proud of him. His dress Is in the very latest fashion every line and curve the perfection, of the tailor's art. What , exquisite taste in neckwear! What shining shoes! And that hat, now. Was there ever more perfect pose of hat on mor tal head? If you will move a little closer, you will see that the "shiny things" you speak of are lights re flected from his polished nails pink ed and polished -beyond belief. Oh, the wind has disturbed the locks which he spent so much time smooth ing out upon his forehead. Too bad! We will instruct Aeolus to gather up his winds. It were better that South wind should never sin , among the pin.es or sport in Joyous abandon with the golden leaves of autumn than that one curl should, be disarranged upon Adonis temple. But yqu have not seen yet our greatest reason for pslde in him. Do you see that beautiful gin coming up tho street? Watch Apollo closely as she paiwjH him. There! Did you see that artistic stare, that slight dropping of the eyelids? He Is an artist. He signals to every woman that passes so delicately, so elyly that no father or brother can see. he thinks himself Apollo, but wc will call him Venus In Pantaloons. Did you ask who that gentleman Is that lifts his hat? Oh that's only Mr. Rutherford. He was a captain at Ap pomatox. 1 admit that he has a cer tain masculine presence, a certain courtly manner, a certain majestto bearing. But that Is of the old time. Do you notice that he never stares at women 7 Do you mark the deference he shows to the beggar woman there as well as to the grand lady In her carriage? He holds to such old fash ioned Ideas. He would even be so brutal as to kick our fair Adonis Into the gutter if he should see that eyelid droop at the woman that is pass ing. , Peace win brood over the city to day. Dust will gather on tool-box and desk and counter. The roar of the street will die Into a nleng mur mur. And John will stay at horrrts wfth Mary and the children. It will be worth your while, to stroll Idly by his cottage to see him stretcn ed In his easy chair on the vine shad ed norch of his cottage, steeping his soul In peace. A woman with face alight sits by him; children play and laugh andfumble around his feet. In the later afternoon they will walk out Into the fields, down wood land paths, talking abon nothing, drinking In the silence and the rest that swoons about them. Shine upon these two, Autumn, with all your splendors lighted. Make gojden-rod to dance for their delight. Make leaf and needle harps of music In. the wlnd's.mystlc fingers. Trick them, for this short afternoon, at least. Into forgetfulness of the bitter, fact that man must live way from fills perpetual Eden. , D. For The Obnerver. OCTOBER DAYS.

Grievances of Public as Set Forth in His Letter to President Flnley Un deniable, Wall Street Journal. J, vy ' Nunjerous attempts have been made to analyse that complex and many- slded factor known as the public, in its relation to the railway question. But the correspondence Just publish ed between D. A. Torno kins of Char lotte, N. C., and W. w. Flnley, presi dent of the Southern Railway, presents one f the most lucid1 analyses of the public, atfcltode which : , has yet "been glven.Mr,' Tmpktiu Is one ampng the few men In the South who can speak for the people as a whole be cause of hla Intimate acquaintance with conditions there from long expe rience and careful thinking In large business Interests with which he la Identified. , In his statement of the public's case he says that the people's grievances, "as they. r exist In their hearts, but are tn most cases not de fined in their heads," are: I. Discriminating rates. t. The "speculative action of rall TRy securities. J S. Inconsiderate and discourteous treatment of the traveling public by railway companies and their em ployes.. He suggests, by way of remedy, that the railway people, to eliminate discrimination, should .themselves take serious hold of this matter and "or ganise a commission of experts to work out a plan 1 of rate-making which would put everybody on the same footlnr.! AS to speculation ne take "some comprehewlve. action to bring this wlld-cait speculative system. of stocks and bonds into Severn inr . .v... thai noor credit of railroads is du to- ths absence ofauch control in the Issue of securities as the Federal government exercises over national . bank Issues. "The people," Me says, "would - soon see that such a movement would be no invasion f of State ' rights. The tariff, the mail and the banking have already been made national and there la no such invasion.' . As for the treatment of the travel ing public by railway t employes, Mr, Tompkins thinks that this Is probably as Important as the otber two com bined. The lack of courtesy In hand Hng people, it is claimed, has embit tered and prejudiced the public until it has been forced to complain of and defend Itself against a kind of treat ment which is foreign to a demo cratlc spirit, and i which, Judging by the courteous standards of some oth er roads, Is not necessary In railway practice.

Moreover, It ' does ' not justify any lvnchlnsr of rallwv .capital such as jias been attempted In some of, the states.
