They have .succeeded- In assuring the 1 enactment Into law of such sort ' ot , currency legislation as the " country opposes practically with on; voice and Congress, even under the whip, has shown Itself extremely reluctant to. pass. . They did not by any means set all they sought for Mr, Aldrlch's friends of high finance, but they got good deal Mote circulation Is al '. lowed up to 10 per cent, ot the mar ket value of bonds deposited as collateral,-whereas' the Vreeland bill ad allowed only JS per cent; 75 per cent, is likewise the maximum allowed against commercial paper. Mr. Aldrich scored another success In striking out the Vreeland bill's provision for a IS per cent, cssh re serve against the so-called emergency circulation, merely requiring the ad- ' dition of an extra Ave per cent, to tho "redemption fund." - With regard to the tax the new measure provides . for payment at the rate of nve per -cent, per annum upon the average "Jhdufit of Tno"tnr l8tredi and after- wards an additional tax of on per cent, per annum for each month until ft tax of ten per cent, per annum is reached., The provision for a natlona'l monetary commission of nine Sena tors and Bine Representatives stands unchanged. Best of all the bill's fea ' tures as it goes to enactment Is a new section providing that the wholn measure shall expire by limitation on June 10, 1114.

That was certainly a remarkable hearing the other day at Elirabeth town, NV Y a small; mountain town, when District- Attorney 'William Traven Jerome summed up before a special commissioner his : defence against the prosecution for removal from office brought against him by men who wers not long ago his ad mirers and Supporters." On this oc casion, as always. Mr. Jerome show ed himself a, man,, of remarkable ability and personal fores, but the fact that his own fate was the one In the balance lent his utterances a peculiarly Intense quality. He spoke with a feeling which made him quiver from head to foot and at times brought tears to his eyes. Blows right and left wers dealt upon his enemlea - . Just before entering the court room he had seen a brief pre pared against him by Lawyer Frank lin Pierce, of the William F. King prosecuting committee. In which he Is characterized as "basely Incompe tent." "a corrupter of the youth of the city," and deserving not only removal from offlce but disbarment from his profession. Now uncomplimentary characterization happens to be one of the district attorney's strongest points and within a minute or two he was dealing out as good as he had gotten. "Mr. Jerome's blood," says an Elis abethtown special, "was thoroughly up muddle THE -PBI1IABIES ; TO-DAY LriMxrEST rROU Mn- atebber.

In liquor are Allowed, In his territory. Our correspondent says thst "For a man of hla axe, It seems remarkable that the campaign has left no scars or bad feeling, and be seems to have forgotten the many uncalled for, unkind and untrue, things that have been said about him during th campaign." Mr. lioyd-n was mercilessly attacked during the campaign, especially in its closing days; and yet all who know him know that he la a hlRh-minded gen tleman. Incapable of doing or coun tenancing unworthy things, no mat ter bow great his seal In any cause which he may espouse. We felt sure that it was coming ot particularly the charge that he had voted for Blaln but that rni ; Ashley Horn hid at some time. somewhere, done or said something ua lorerer renders him unworthy t be Governor; and as the office hoy who wsa In love with the typewriter girl said when she ran away and got marnea. ths tlo Jirjt f rttv The re port has been efrentat... i . .!.'

William F. King, head of th prose cuting committee, was 'a milker of corporations;' Justice Seabury, in hla Metropolitan Jury-fixing Inquiry, had 'acted Ilk a cad,' and the Judiciary of New Tork county, when It came to acting toward big men. was 'nerve less.' Mr. Jerome had himself seen on Justic within th lsst six weeks crumble up like a sick cat because the newspapers had attacked him. Mr. Jerome paid his compliments along other lines to Judge Rosalsky and to Judge O'Sulllvan.". As deliv ered by the speaker, this rapid-fire discharge of epigrams must have come with very great muxsl energy. It wss a phlllipio against a scor of Philips. In his characterization of his chief prosecutor, at least Mr. Jerome ap pears well within the facts. William F. King, now and for years past os tentatiously posing as a pillar of po litical and financial morality, proves to be, whlted-sepulchr faahlon, one of the very corporation corruptlonlata by whom the district attorney haa been severely censured certainty of fail ure to punish under present laws is alleged, with much apparent reason, In reply for not bringing to Justice. William T. Jerome doubtless lacks a great deal of perfection as an all around prosecuting officer and he Is doubtless also a rather looae-Uving "Itlwn even for New Tork City, but few csn be found to assert that he has sltered greatly from the same man who not long ago was acclaimed a national hero. He then took with brilliant success the plumed-knlght role which others are attempting at his expense now that his false glory has departed. As a reformer we have always believed him to be esnemlally a humbug, though one who did little more thnn let the public humbug It self; and we are equally far from admiration of those now engaged in halting him. He stands vulnerable to all manner of attack, not so much because of what he Is as because he turned out 'to be something different from what the public thought hi Publics have always had this way of turning revengefully upon men men perhaps not actually unworthy In any degree after greatly over-praising them. It Is even very dangerous to be praised enough when laudation rise high. This prosecution of Dis trict Attorney Jerome looks to us like a very natural but nevertheloK quite unwarranted course Ilk persecution snd little else. 1 Appended Is th statement of Mr. John P.

The fltateavllle Landmark, taking as Its tezt the result of the election of Tuesday, Is disposed to ridicule those who favored the submission of the prohibition Mil to tho people Instead of its enactment by the Leglalatur proceeding upon the assumption that they thought that If they could get it before the people they could defeat It. The Observer was of those who favored submission. As to the result. It never entertained a doubt. Its whole argument was thai the people would resent the enactment of th bill without their being allowed to pass on It. and thus much Injury would accrue to the party in power. while such would not be the case If the Issue were submitted to them at the polls. Thla was In our Judgment the Democratic thing; th fair and right thing; and the party Is in much better position by reason of the course it took tn the matter.

I .know this that if I could help some poor unfor tunate, no matter what his condition in life was. or his color, or hfs religion. and he was in trouble, the night could be ever so bad or the distance ever so great I would get out of my bed and go to him; I would give him th last psnny In tho world or anything else It it would put him on his feet and help him; but I would not go to the city editor and ask him to publish, what I had done. This snd things like this are what I call charity, not abusing other Churches: and this Is what the Catholic Church teaches. It taught me this; it teaches all its children the earn doctrine, rich and poor, white and black; and then to have a man amongst you who calls himself a man of God to publish to the world that the Roman Church Is a harlot is alto gether out of place. Our missis and bishops have forgotten more than he ever knew about the Bible. H. A. WEBBER. IP. B.

' Danville Register. . v' ' We have before us Defense of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independ ence, belnj an exhaustive review of and answer to all attacks on the dec laration, by James H. Moor, and is sued from the Dublishln house . of Edwards A Broughton. RalI-h, N. C. W have read with soma tare and no ordinary interest this volume ol 157 pages, which the author in his preface modestly says la an attempt made "not so much to present new facts as to marshal the old and now undisputed -facts in loaical order." Any one who reads the book will on finishing It be convinced that hla at tempt has been a complete success, and that hla array of facts, both old and new, has left a distinct impres sion on the mind of the truth for which be contends, namely, that a convention ot Mecklenburgers was held on the 20th of May. 1775. at which they declared themselves free and independent - of Great Britain, which declaration of their independ ence is not to b confounded with the Resolves that war put forth eleven days later as has been done by those who have sought to establish th Mecklenburg Declaration as either a myth or a forgery. Th author of the work under review has very clear ly shown, it teems to us, that the convention that made the Declaration was not the committee that made the May 21st Resolves, and that neither should be confounded with the other. Th evidence that Mr. Moore mar shals insupport of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is con vincing, - Infinitely more trustworthy and reliable than that which-la ad duced to prove that Mosaic authorship or xeuteronomy or that John wrote th fourth gospel; and yet few of thoaa who rea&rd this declaration as a myth or forgery would dare ques tion, in spite of the less evidence of a wholly Internal nature, thel fact that Moses wrote the Pentatuch and that the Apostle John was th author of the fourth gospel. ' Now, for the declaration there is not only Internal evidence, especially that" contained in the . May 21st Resolves, but other documentary evidence, : besides the testimony of living witnesses. It would be an Interesting task to go more fully Into the argument which Mr. Moore has so admirably stated and who light out but our limited space forbids. It Is sufficient to say that he seems to have fully answered the objections of all who have here tofore written to prove the Declaration forgery and therefore unworthy of credence. The author Is to be con gratulated on having mad a valuable contribution to th history, not only of North Carolina, but of th whole country. His book Is well worth read ing, and no one who Is at all Inter ested in what may be regarded as' an Important epoch In American history J Jt , ' , , ,"VV e.- r. outer H M ? jLrt t twww W4 til HM rrftrr"rcn U ."Ll-'VUUf n n 'vrtk ' .... .
