WASHINGTON LETTER. SpecUl Correspondence Courier. Washington. Angus. 81. Promt nent Republican and Democratic senators and representatives and well informed students of financial sub jects agreo that the prospects of im portant and beneficial financial legis lation at the next session of Congress viewed from tho present outlook, is extremely doubtful. It is freely predicted that the Republican sena tors cannot be made as unanimous for the Aldrich bill again as they were at the close of the last session of Congress, when the bill was de feated merely because ttiere was not suflicicnt timo to allow a few of the opposition senators to give their views. Not only is thero less unani mity of Republican sentiment for what was known as the Aldrich ideas but tho Democrats promise to oppose these ideas, although declaring that they will welcome financial legisla tion that will bo of real benefit to the country. Tho Democrats will not oppose auy legislation of a financial nature for which there is united demand oy the business interests of the country, but. they realize that there is a wide difference of opinion as to the Al drich bill and they will attack that measure or its principles embodied in any other measure. A principal feature of the Aldrich bill wus the provision that State, municipal and railroad bonds of ap proved classes might be accepted by the Secretary of the Treasury as security for the deposit of the public moneys. The Democrats are attack ing this feature on several grounds. Their first objection to it is that it encourages the continuation of a surplus in the Treasury, when -the tariff laws ought to be amended so as to prevent such a surplus; second, unit u me people were reuevcu ui tariff hnrden to the extent of $30.- 000,000 or $40,000,000 a year that I amount would not have to be placed in the hands of national banks for' their benefit: third, that in makmer such deposits the banks are being al- lowed to use the government money I without interest. The leading feature of tho Demo cratic position, however, is that the government is every day accumulat ing money that it cannot use, and that to prevent a financial crash by reason of tho accumulation of this sum outside of trade channels, the Treasury Department is compelled to do something with it; that one of the ways of putting the money oacK into circulation is to deposit it in national banks. Another contention is that the placing of this money in banks encourages over-speculation andthepnttingoutofendssstocksw of all kinds. It will be claimed by tho Democrats that if the banks are not burdened with money they will not make loans on anything except legitimate business, but that if they have a plethora of funds, including those of the government, they will lend ou stocks that are not gilt-edged, and thereby encourage over-specula tion and dangers that might menace tho business of tho country. To sum it up briefly, the Demo crats will say that to get rid of this state of affairs, instead of providing for easier methods of putting out governmentunoney, the reformation of the tariff and the reduction of the government income would be the best and safest plan, the position De ng that there is plenty of money in the country. The Hepuuiicans are all tangled up ou this money busiucss, and the Democrats will take advantage oi their demoralized oonditiou. 1 1 gives the democracy the best possible op portunity of giving the country an object lesson on the blessings of tariff reduction as a means of keep- ng all this surplus in the pockets of the people, instead of fighting over pi wis for getting it back to the peo- lo after taking it away irom tnem 'or tho behoof of the trusts and monopolies of the country. Since Mr. ltoosevelt became l'resi- dunt of the United States and has been in '.he limelight, the people of tho country who want to keep up 0f North Carolina has ordered that with the times and keep themselves the elements of agriculture shall be posted on all things that can be said taught in all the schools of the com for and against a man in public life, monwealth. have been reading the many books that have been written by the fecund pen of the man who occupies the highest office in the nation. Some of tha students of this city have I found that a peculiarity or. noose- velt a writings is that he has hadmental nnnciplcs of good culuva' vrr few kind words to nv of any I man who ever occupied a nigh place iu uiio wuuuj, ium uu uio uuuuwj he has lambasted the life out of most of them. Take, for instance, his opinion of Thomas Jefferson, ex- pressed m bis "flaval War of lBXZ." these pnnciples and their applica ln volume xi., page 198, of that I tion. work from the pen of Theodore Roosevelte, ho was intemperate enough to say that Mr. Jefferson "was perhaps the most incapable cxecuuve mac ever nneu tne rresi - dential chair." That seems to be pretty tough on the author of the I hook is called Agriculture for Be Declar a 1 1 o n of Independence, I pnt.ers and is published by Qinn & the man wno a e q u 1 r e d tne Louisiana territory who was twice President of the United States, both tames elected by ballots and not by bullets, who was the founder of the I text book commission to be introduc University of Virginia, and whoso I and used as text books to the ex teachings have ever been the bulwark I M union of all 'others in all the public of popular government in this jxun - try as against the rule of the classes, Mr. Koooevelt seems not only to be n iconoclast, but of the late years he seems to have become a painfully pragmatic preacher. He defends and proclaims the axiomatic at the slightest provocation. He is show tng reprehensible tendency to lecture the public on self-evident propoai - tiona, and to do it with a suspicion of sensational purpose, as, notably.iu his warning against race-suicide and his recent sermon on decent living, Tho people of this country, if I am any judge of cverv-day human nature, do not like to lectured. They think they know what they want and how to get it when they want it That is one of the reasons why Drover Cleveland lost popularity while iu the White House. If Mr Roosevelt will continue in his pres. ent course he will very aptly illus trate the point of "Tom Keed s sar- castio savin: "What 1 like about Roosevelt is his enthusiasm over his own discovery of the Ten Command ments. There is soriie rather scvero critic ism of the President here in political circles in the national capital on ac count of the recont naval review. That review ordered by tho President to be held practically in his back yard in Oyster Bay, partook very mucn or tne autocratic mciaoos oi tho Czar Kaiser. No previous Presi dent ever ordered the ships of the American Navy to coma to his home in order to review them and make a war-like speech to tho officers and men of the Navy. That review, for which there was no need or warrant, except to make a hoodlum holiday for the inhabitants of Oyster Bay and vicinity, cost the taxpayers of the country not less fifty thousand dol lars tor powder ourneu in woolcm io tho Commander-in-Chief of the American Navy. Ho may next take a notion that he wants to review the American Army. If he does it will cost the people not less than a half million dollars to concentrate the troops for the review. The people need not be surprised at anything. Tho Post Office Department in vestigation seems to have petered out completely. UHAKla A. tUHAUUO. Poisoned by Ice Cream.

On August 27th Julia Stanfiold, a negro woman living in Durham was put under chloroform for an opera tion to remove a tumor on the back of her neck.

The depot acent and several others were seated around when several groans were heard from the coffin. 1 he bystand ers were frightened but opened the coffin at once. They found she had moved her hands from her waist to her throat and ber face and hands were covered with presperation. The casket was left open several hours but there were no further signs of life, she having, apparently, died after reviving. Her body was buried the next morning. To Teach Farming la the Public School. State Superintendent Joyner has rillMi letter to county superinten dents of instruction calling their at tention to the fact that according to the act of the last General Assembly arrangements are to be made to in clude instruction in agriculture in common school teaching.

Bill Arp's Funeral. Rev. Sam P. Jones' tribute was as follows: "My neighbors and brethren, 1 count it a pathetic honor to mingle my tears and sorrows with you today, and say a few words of sympathy and love to the bereaved family and this stricken community. "Only a few weeks ago the press told us tbac for five minutes' time every wheel ceased to go round; all the machines stopped, not a stroke of a hammer was heard for five min utes. Wherever a limited train was making its schedule along the line of road at tho appointed time the the passenger felt the pressure of the brakes, th train stopped, and all was silent on tho road in the shop, in the offices. This was given as a token of respect for the lately de ceased president of the road. "Major C. H. Smith, 'Bill Arp.'as we called him and loved to call him still, was known around the world, and today we stop and bow our heads in sorrow and in respect, and mill ions join us iu this token of respect and iovo to one whom they never saw perchance, but had learned to love because he had lighted their burdens, soothed their sorrows and helped them to meet life's difficulties more heroically and moie joyfully. in the past few weeks or his illness I have been traveling from Boston to Nebraska, and many warm grips of the hand have I had everywhere as his friends would look me in the face and bold my hand and say 'How is Bill Arp, will he get well?" "Oh, if he should die how could we snare him, how much we will miss his weekly message of philoso phy, facts and love. No man of all my knowledge had more friends than he and none fewer enemies, n ne had given his life to money making and money keeping and had accumu lated one hundred and fifty millions of dollors and then in his lust mo ments willed it all to the people of the United States, they would only have gotten two dol'ars a piece from his vast fortune. But with his pen he gave to America and to the civil ized world that which each man would not take thousands for. "What he wrote has made many a man a better husband and many a woman a better wife, and many a child a more dutiful son or daughter. He was a kindly husbund and unself ish father, a generous, kindly neigh bor and we would all today pluck the sweetest, most fragrant llowers from the gardens of our hearts and lay them on his casket, and say to his loyal, noble wife and children, whom he loved. 'This is but a small token of the love we have for him and the reverence and respect we shall ever have to his memory.' 1 loved Bill Arp. 1 would add a prayer God bless his dear, loyal, lov ing wife and the children and grand children, whom he loved. We knew him and loved him and these grand children of his will sit in tho years to come and read the stories and hear the lessons of their noble grandfather with an interest that would charm an angel. "My highest expression ot love tor him as a neighbor and friend would be the wish that if I were transfer red today from earth to heaven, I would ask the angels to locate me on the same street and a nearby neighbor to the new home just made for Bill Arp, my honored friend. "To you my neighbors, I say hard ly a home represented here today but has had its sorrows, its burdens this year; this has been a sad year to Cartersville, but we are better be cause of them all. It is said the violet never sends forth its sweetest fragrance until crushed by a cruel foot So our sweetest sympathies, love and kindnesses are never called forth except by the deepest griefs and sorrows of life. Let these sympa thies atid sorrows like cords of gold tie ns closer together every day, let thorn twine like the ivy about our ragged natures and blooming in its beauty, let all our deformities be hidden from tho view of each other, and heart to heart, baud te hand, effort to effort, struggle upwutd until wcjoiu company witn wnom we pari ccnipany touay.,' Post Jodie Neal and the Backet Shops. Judge Walter II Neal is a fearless defender of the law and does not tie- lleve in showing special favors to any classi There has been for fifteen years a law on our statute books against dealing in cotton futures. It is generally understood tnat a goou L.any prominent citizens in our cities have been indulging in this form of gambling. Last week at Mecklen burg court Judge Neal charged the grand jury to carefully investigate this matter in unanotce wnere rumor said that gambling in cotton futures was a matter of everyaay business with many good and prominent citi- zans. The judge also warned the jury to show no favors and as a re sult of the investigations bills of in dictment have been found against several men who are well esteemed in Charlotte. Soma times although a man lie a sworn officer of the law it requires courage to stand for its strict execu tion. This is the only exploration for such a law remaining dead on our statute books for fifteen years. Our judgns are begina.ng to see the necessity of impressing tms duty in this respect upon grand jurymen. Similar charges against bucket shops have been lately given by at least two other Bufermr court judges, Judge Allen at Lexington and Judge Brown at Green ibor.

Greensboro Female College. Last Thursday the Alumna- Asso ciation of the G. F. C. were enabled by means cf staunch friends in and out of Greensboro to make their first payinont towards the purchase of tho college. This assures us that the grand old college will do business at the same old stand this lull. It is agreed on all sides that the college must and will be endowed, but that is to be done in (he future; in the near future, we hope, but still in the future. The crvii.g need of the col- ge just now is patronage. Its friends canjlo more for it just now by standing by it loyally and.sending their girls to it this" fall than they will ever be able to do again. It is (iiially a county and a state institu tion, rich with historic memories. Your grandmother, your mother, our aunt, your sister, or your daugh ter was educated there. You should be proud for other iminbers of your family to have the same privilege. The school has an excellent faculty, good plant, a lovely campus, and the homelike influence and christian spirit of the institution is known all over the state. The outlook for the school is good, but this next session ought to lie a most pronounced suc cess. Greensboro and Guilford coun ty should feel called upon to exert themselves in a special maimer. Let us make a long pull, a strong pull ind together, and give the college the best year in its history. Greens boro Patriot. A Heartless Woman.
