"I KNOW NOT WHAT THE TRLTIl MAY BE; ILL TELL IT AS IT WAS TOLD TO ME." ' ' Volume 75-No 3. Durham, N C.V - Wednesda y , ' J anuary 23j 1 895. Established 1820; One of the judges of the Knns supwmo cou-t asked" the "New York Sun tho following question: How much is anuunlly paid U citizens of foreign countries for in tcrest, dividends, runts and profits on investment m the unite States? Will the public interest he bsst promoted by au increase or reduction of this annual payment? How would you bring about the change you iavor ? In reply tho Sun has this to say: r " , .-. We don't know and wo don't care particularly. Tho ouly change we would wisl for would bo to pay all our debts in full just as soon as we have promised to pay them. The great thing is to keep our engagements; ami, if we have made any silly ones, a question on which we do not now express any opinion, to tako care and not com mit the same foolishness again. No cheating forn. What our contemporary says about paying debts in full when they are duo, and keeping our en gagements is all right but when the creditor classes indulge in this sort of talk they know that under our present financial system they in reality collect more than is due them. Under the "gold standard the purchasing iwer of a dollar is constantly increasing, and when we pay a debt contracted a few years ago we practically pay twice as much as we owe. IJut the debtor classes are crush d by the oppressive system which doubles the amount of their in debtedness and makes) it more difficult for them to keep their en gagements to the letter. It is ju-t as wrong to discriminate aguiimt debtors as it would be to discriminate against creditors I$th classes have rights thai should le resiK.rU.-d and if either cla-w is entitled to more considers! tion it is the debtors, because J jx-r cent of the world's business i done on credit, and is the height of injustice to legislate in the in terest of the remaining 10 ji ut and the creditors. There should W no room m this couutrv for a financial system whicli doubles the value of tin gold dollar, anl thus doubles the burden of every honest poor man's debt. So Major II. L. Grant, who him sf draws a jnion from the Yankee side of the line, although ahlitl bodied and unwoumkd, in roduced a bill in the State Sen ate to rejoal the act jeskning,at a lr pittance, the woundl Con Merate soldier of this State. 1 le would take from them, wounded and maimed, helpless and starv ing though they 1, the ijor pit tit nee that their own Slate bio rvi I 1 (t; i t a and which iiieir own hom people w illingly pay, while he himself draws Ted. er.il :nsion fr helping to wound them nt the h-id of a negro regi in -lit! And this is the man whom many old Confflerate sol di' rs voted for in the late election the Fusion tieket ngninst 151; .ycn-k fr the Senate, and by. wli. vte n was elected.

The tomb of Abraham Lincoln ! iii mil h a neglected condition th.a tin; legislature of Pennsyl vin.ii! bus felt imp lied to adopt a ! ol ut ion ri.'tiug it, y the N w York Sun. The fact is a in 'M sbuniefiil one, and the know- f it will offetid millions of patriotic American. It lias been in eliurg! of tho "Lincoln Mori 'mi' nt A-wx 'nition." and it is the ! -ir of the I'ennsylvania I'gis- I'ltur that tt shall be put under tho care of tho. state of Illinois, In permitting Lincoln's tomb to fall . into "neglect, the State of Illinois has already shown a lack of res-wet tor his name and mem ory. and for the spot in which his ored bones repose, toward which many "pilgrims turn their foot steps. . That spot ought to be a woi thy ehriiie for . American pa triotism. It ought to lie regarded by Iluuois as its chicfcst glory. ' ; - Come to the Sunny South. v The New York Sun says: We ought not to hear any more com plaints of want 'from "Nebraska. Train loads of tree provisions from the 'Southern States and from Western States have begun to Ar rive there, and tho distribution of them has been undertaken by helptul people. This is the third or fourth time within a few years that charity has been needed, in Nebraska or Kansas on account of the failure of crops. We should upKs that those of the farmers if these States who are so often reduced, to straits, would think of looking for homes in somo more 'avorablo region." All tho South ern States are desirous of obtain :ng industrious immigrants, and, (hey can furnish . good land for tiillions of them. Texas aloue A'ould like to draw to its lands all die farmers who cannot get along .n tho bad parts of the Northwest. After the South gets pretty well illed up, a hundred or a couple of hundred years hence, " it will jo time enough to see what can e done for those extensive track if our tnitjs-Mississippi country in !iich the crops are m often a t'ailure on account of long irought-s destructive blizzards, in J petti rVroiis inseeLs.

The New Englanders, as a rulo, affirm that the reason manufticturing is cheap er in the South is that their hours of work are longer and wages are lower . than iu the North. This is an : old assertion, which Southern ' manufacturers have again . and again denied. The real factors of success" are the nearness to the cotton field and coal mines, the milder climate, the newer mat h iuery and cheaper cost of living generally., .

WiSHIKCTBH LETTER. Washington, D. C, Jan. ao. Senator Ransom savs it is the duty of the democrats in the sen ate to get together and do some thing to relieve the financial situa tion. ' Senator Jarvis say) a caucus of the senate and house ought to have been called before adjournment to decide on some measure calculated to settle the financial difficulties which confront the party. Hon. John S. Henderson says he will vote for no measure which does not contain the state banking feature. All the other members of our delegation express the same view of any currency bill. Memorial services in honor of Senator Vance will be held in the senate next Saturday. February 9 similar services will be held ia the bouse of representatives. Mr. Henderson will have charge of the exetcises. fcvery member ot our delegation will speak. : Early tbis week Mr. Springer intends to introduce. a currency bill differing somewhat from its predecessors. ICobody seems to think there will be any financial legislation this session of congress. This makes an extra session almost a certainty. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle haj-e done and are still doing their best to avert this, but tome of the democrats in congress are not amendable to reason. The party has to suffer for their stub bcrnncss and Ignorance, A number of North Carolinians attended the diplomatic reception at the white house last week. What is known as the Raleigh paving bill was panaad ovr in the house by committee of the whole on account of the absence of Con grcssman liunn. - Mr. Branch has just arrived. He says he stopped in Raleigh on his way here and thought it looked like the Bulk" and Pritchard combination would win In the state legislature.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. Th Antl-Truit Amendmint. .. ' A bill to" amend the Constitu tion by adding section 14, is as follows: ''Monopolies and . trusts shall never bo allowed" in this SUit j, and no incorporated com pany, co-partnership, or Jassoci ation of persons, iu this State shall directly or, indirectly ; com bine or .make, any contract with any other incorporated company, foreign or domestic, through their stockholders or trustees, or assigus of such stockholders, or with any co-partnership or association of persona in any matter, whatever, for the purpose ot fixing the price or for limiting the production or regulation ' the transportation of any product or commodity. This shall not prevent farmers from shipping tho product of their farms together." ; Fallen Women. . A great deal is said and writ ten at present about reforming fal len women. We heartily endorse any movement, on tho part of christians looking to that end, which is based on moral suasion. As long as tho ph.n of Jesus is fol lowed, it is all right in them ; but tho moment they preach to them and tailing to convert them, get mad with ticm and say, "we will break them up by law,'1 they get off the gospel track. Visiting houses of ill-fame!n di-guise, with a view of reporting them, may do for detectives, but it will not do for a christian. That's tho State's work. Now, the question arises, what can the State do ? It can make lewd women keep orderly houses, that's all. And that is all that society relies on the law to do. So, then the only chance to reform th inmates of lrvof ill-fume, is, to convert their hearts. Hut, after you Lave converted one of these poor creatures, the lueslion arises what can be done with her? Iu all probability, the very man who talks to her and succeeds in getting her to quit her wicked life, would not take her in his house n a servant, ."still, something can be done for those who are really determined to reform, and it ought to keep women froin fiiUing. This wcrk, for the most jart, has to be done, by tMirents. Panville Times. Tat Blf fiat Hof. Vance county is entitled to the throino for the biggest Tar Heel hog in 1891. It netted 8.S0 pounds and yielded 24 jouhds of hint. For the past four months our State exchanges have indulged iu hog (figuratively Pit-akiiig) and after summing up this Weighty matter, we are prone to U-Heve that Carolina's Miioke house has lieen transformed from the far west to Tar Heel ground, and there is even A Mirplus left bang ing up for e xiKitt Concord limes. ' " "" It is quite apparent that lie publican influenc predominate iu the legislature ut Ihileigh and that the Populists are king used to carry out tho measures decided upon by the llepubliean leaders. .So far every measure of any im- portanee proposed wears the lie- publican ear-marks, while the only proposition which was dis tinctively Fopulistic the resolu tion to instruct our members in ( Vtngress to voto for tho free coin ago of silver ou a ratio of 10 to 1 was sat down ujsm and sent to be buried by the Committee on Federal Itelatioiis. Part of tho programme is to abolish the Hail road Commission. We believe that Marion Ilutlcr ciairns to be tho parent of tho Kailrond coni misxion, which Mr. Kwart wants abolished. We shall now see whether Mr. 1'iilh r, with his or gau lit liatcigh, will' jtr.uil Mr. Ewart to destroy tho work for which "ho5 claimed credit, land whether Mr. Ewart can corral Populist members enough to do tho job. The probabilities are, however,: that since Mr. Butler has secured a six years pull on the Senate with a $5,000 salary and perquisites, he will tako less interest in littlo , matters like the Railroad Commission thavUve. did when he was striving to thieve fame as the champion and protec tor of the "jioor, oppressed farmer."

The couple left three young children. The mounters . who were gath ered Sunday afternoon at the fun eral of Mrs. Elizabeth White, of Millville, N. J., were thrown into consternation ; by the sudden at tack of illness which overtook James Robinson, a brother of the dead woman. Just as he kissed the corpse he was seen to reel and fall backward. He was attacked by palsy and lingered until 9.3O yesterday morning, when he died. The utmost excitement prevailed among the mourners, when Mr. Robinson was stricken, and the funeral was abruptly halted, while a physician worked over the stricken roan. As he grew no bet ter in au hour the corpse was car ried out and the funeral procession wended its way to the cemetery, where the tnt-.rmeiit took ilace.

Memphis Appeal. ; Congress has apparently no con" ception of unselfish patriotism, and greedy representatives of antipo dean measures, calling themselves democrats, have combined with the republicans to defeat a demo cratic policy (the Carlisle bill), Ex-Governor Northen, of Geor. gia, has become managing editor of the Cultivator ,a long established sgriculnral magazine, and with his accession to the staff, the Cultiva tor becomes the organ of the Geor gia Immigration and Investment Bureau. Prof. Adams, of the University of Michigan, has received a request from Japan to publish a translation of his work on "Public Debts."dn that country.
