-. "I KNOW JfOT WHAT TIIE TRITUMAYBEf ILL " TELL IT AS IT JVM TOLD TO ME" Volume 75-No 39. Durham, N. C.,-- AednesdayfFebruary 13,189i:. Establiehed 1820 LINCOLN'S IW10RTAL WORDS Congress has officially rteter. pained the exact text of Presi dent Lincoln's immortal Get tysburg address by incorporat. ing a copy of it into the bill creating the Gettysburg Mili tary Park which will be on the statute books within a few days, as it is certain to have the ap proval of the President. The government's official sanction is thus given to this particular version of the address in Sec tion 8 of this act which appro priates $5,000 to enable the sec retary of war to cause to be made and erected in the Get tysburg Park, "a suitable bronze tablet, containing on it the ad dress delivered by Abraham Lincoln, President of the Unit ed States, at Gettysburg ou tie 19th day of November, 1803, on the occasion of the dedication of the National Cemetery at that place" and then, after providing that the tablet shall also bear "medal lion likeness of President Lincoln'' proceeds to furnish the' text of the ad dress with the following intro duction "which said address was in the following .words, to wit:" . eeo out fathers brought forth on IUI wuuufu u uin uauif, conceived in liberty and dedi cated to the proposition that ail men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whethei that nation, or any cation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate, a portion of that field s a final . 'I t i 4 1 1 1 MrtntmAnt a n A i i4 !m resting piace lor mose who uere rava their lives , that nation might live. It is altogether tit tiogjaud proper that we should do this. Rn In -a .APrVe.a lAnca as cannot dedicate, we canu t re consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. : The world will little note, BC longer, remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here ''It is for us, the 1 living, rather to be dedicated here to the uanntsned v rkwnichtney writ tnnrrl Kora tinea lime ie so nobiy advanced. ; It is ratber for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us:.. that from these honored .dead we take increased devo tion to that cause for which they gave the !at full measure of devotion; that we herehitfhlv tesolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that thi nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perisn from tne -jartu." the gold nvm to his great speech on the free Coinage of silver Senator Jones cf Nevada, said: ' "Gold, Mr. President,' cannot with entire truth be said at the present time to form any part of the money of this country. who but a bank clerk ever sees gold piece? With the.txcip tion of a few million dollars on the Pacific coast, gold Is not really in circulation in this country. It is performing no useful function whatever. while I am engaged in deliver log these remarks, I venture to sy no senator within the sound of my voice has a his pocket a single gold coin of anr denom Ination whatever, or any paper representative of one. This is the answer to the fear express d by tome senators that when those who hold gold shall ob. orve the enlargement of the money circulation by the issue of the proposed treasury nous tly will be likely to hoard It. They are already hoarding it. Everybody knows that that Is &S0Ut Oil that crnt.l I. ...... I t,.. Bv. H UWU IVI m tnis country, it is hardly possible for it to be hoarded to any great extent than it is at the present time. So little is thi metal in circulation that I do not deem it any exaggeration to iay there are millions of people in the United States, "native here and to the manner born," who have never in all their lives seen a gold coin. How absurd, then, is the claim that any loss is to be suffered by the alleged future hoarding of gold, or that any calamity can occur to 65, 000,000 people by the disappear. ance or. that which has long since disappeared." ' 1 - - This is much nearer the truth than Secretary Carlisle's recent statement that the people now have circulating among them o -.er $300,000,000 m gold. The truth is, geld is a holi day, dress parade money. It is uot in common use. It cuts no figure in our every day transac tions, and during our long green back , period,"-when geld was hoarded and sold at a premium, our people were better off than tnejr have ever been since. ' So far as actual circulation is concerned, gold is a myth. It is used to conjure with by the colossal Shylocks who juggle with the finances .of nations, but they know perfectly well that it does not make a bit .of difference whether we have a treasury full of gold, one full of silver, or full of both metals, or an empty one, provided we have in circa utiou enough full legal tender greenbacks to meet the ieinauds of business. , But the Sbylocks will never sjive in, so long as our "endleBS chain policy" enables them to profit Ly the alternate, filling and emptying of the treasury with the yellow metal. The whole business would be un- palab!y childish, if it were not so cruelly dishonest. On with the robber dance the people foot the bills I At lanta Constitution. PRINTS NEWS Southern Tobacconist: The American Tobacco Co.'s affairs have been investigated in Bos tonand moved on further South. There is a Virginia Tobac- co Co. unincorporated in Rich mond, com;oed of several re putable gentlemen; who are well known buyers of brights, and also largeexportersof same Since the New York Leaf casts some ridicule on a company by that name, said to be chartered in New Jersey, it is well to not the wide'distinction. A court of appeals case was lately de- lf l in Eng'ia t courts. The American Tebacco Co., and Al len & Gintt-r were sued by the ownr of the painting, in Munich, Germany, in England for the unlicensed use of "A Love Letter" copied from a photograph, the defense said According to enpywright con vention at Heme, authors, pain t-rs and sculptors, whore works are iu humeor fc reign lands, are equally protected as they would be In the country of. their owners. The decision was in f ivor of th plaintiff ' -Its Was on Toe An at-d Irishman was walking down a grade, when suddculy lie slipped ami swatted the earth with himself. "All !" said a wag. "that's the time the sidewalk downed you, Mike." "Not by a jucful,! said the witty hllow, brushing tho snow fr.tin hi coat-UiU, "wasn't I on tp 7 hx.

The equiunni. ty whh which the people look on white this battle rages is only equaled by incident in his tory. That was where Betsey contemplated with beautiful composure the fight between her husband and the bear. EIGHT DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET Some young American, arabiti ous but handicaped by being well born and well cared for, once said, "One can't amount to anything in this country un less he's born in Ireland of be gins as a bootblack or a news boy." ; Illustrious examples bear out his statement. It is said that David B. Hill, about whom we occasionally hear these days, is a Connecticut farmer's son, and when eleven years of age went to Syracuse to make his fotune, with $8 in bis pocket, a lie met - Dean Rich mond, president of the New York Central, and made a busi ness proposal to that gentleman which he accepted, more out of amusement than confidence. Hill became a train boy, selling candy and papers on the train between New York and Albany. In fact, be was the pioneer train merchant on the New York Cen tral railroad. When he retired from this lucrative employment he was the possessor of $300. Colersdo ae longer dspends upon silver as her chief resource The iicrease'of gold production in that state has been remarkable. The Colorado output of gold leaped from f 7,802,000; In 1893 tofia, 499,000 in 1894, bringing the state for the first time very close to the record of California, and every thing indicates that it will lead the list this year. The discoveries of gold at Leadville are considered fully as important as those of sil ver fifteen years ago; Cripple Creek is doing equally well; Dreede bids fair to become a gold camp; Boul der county is producing largely, and many old mines which could sot be profitably worked before sow par well by reason of new prscenses which have been in vented. The effect of all this upon the spirits of Colorado people is :cellent. - , that state is the head center of the free silver craze, bnt sinee its people have learned that their pros parity does not depesd upon silver, they are comiBgto take a more sensible view of the currency ques tion. Xven the Rocky Mountain Times admits that Celorado will prosper whether we have the free coinage of silver or aot. Thare sre evilences accumula ting every day to show that the people sre eomiag te their senses evsa ia Colorado, There is now pending before the egislatnre a proposed law which is known as the "Two-Cest Fare Bill." It is probably natural that Texas, like all other comparative- y new ststes, should at each re- curing session of the legislature have more er less legislation to consider, envt or amend, touching railroads and their management. Railroad companies and the public expect this. It is the natural re sult of growth of communities and expansion of. private industries and public enterprises. When ju diclous and ttnbnrtful legislation proposed, no objection should be erged against it. Msch of the legislation that has been enacted in Texas touching railroads has been based on wisdom and tem pered with fairness. Some of it has been on the opposite kind. This "Two Cent Fare Bill" cer tainly shon'd be classed under the head of unwise, unfair and perni cious legislation. Dallas Herald The whiskey trust is in s bad fix. A great show of indignation was made when receivers were ap pointed, and the claim was ad- vanccd that there was no need for receivers. But the proceedisgs before the court showed that Green hut, the president of the whisky trust, and who hsd been appointed one of the receivers, was engaged at the time of his sppoiatmcnt in depreciating the stock of the con ce rn, and his removal was promptly ordered. All of this goes to show ttut when the manipulations of 1 trust sre brought to light the fel lows on the "ground floor" have s cinch on the outside public, and they work It to the full limit.

BUTLER FOR THE UNIVERSITY In the Caucasian Marion But ler; who is, by the way, a trustee ana a graduate of the University and one of its most earnest friends, antagonizes the Baptist memorial which asks the withdrawal of ap propriation. The two fusionists chairmen are in Hue on this sub ject. Chairman Holton, Repub. ican, says positively that the ap propriation will not be .reduced; that he opposes any curtailment of State aid; thi t he takes the high ground that the State, or ho political party in it, oan afford to go backward in. the matter of education. Holton - spoke with much earnestness and a very pub ic-spirited wayj.u regard to this this matter. The Caucasian says: "A memorial is presented to the Legislature, signed by a commit tee of the Baptist. State Conven tion, asking that the State reverse its policy of higher education and gradually withdrew all aid from the University and the other high er institutions. ' The request vir tually is that the State withdraw entirely from the field of higher education. This seems to us en tirely impossible. North Caro- ina cannot consent to be the only Southern State without a system of higher public institutions. ; We need more education, not less. There is need of both Church and State to work for higher education. Let the State institutions be care fully inspected and let any m is mangenvmtbe exposed and cor rected. But Ihey must not be de stroyed, for this is to stab the State in a vital point." Thk Recorder agrees with Butler on this point Rev. C. Durham, the mainspring of the anti:University movement, comes but in a card in the Cauca sian and says that this higher education question will bo taken into the campaign in 1896. The Caucasian thereupon says that "as to this thmst we have no fear as to the result of any such ac tion." He Was a Dream "Does he smoke?" asked one girl. "Never," replied the other. "Drink r Certainly" not" "Use profanity?" "No." "My dear, I almost bate to see you marry him. "Whyr "He seems too good to be true." Washington Post. CORNER-STONE LA 10.

Polk, was' laid at his grave in Oakwood Cemetery The Grand Lodge of Masons of the State conducted tho ceremonies assisted by the National Council of the Farmers' Alliance.

Atlanta Journal, The promoters of the whiskey trust have the sincere sympsthy of Hon. Ben Tillman. It will be re called that he tried to organize one In South Carolina. Washington Post.J ', Some !of the members of the present congress boast of being "self-made" men. But they didn't do much ef a job after all. If they had let the contract our to some one else the work might have been considerably improved upon. Wilmington Star. . Those of the New England cot ton-mill owners who have smiled for some years at the thought 01 southern competition, are growing serious over it. They have beco.ue aware that their southern compet itors can obtain an abundance ef capital and of labor, can get as many skilled operatives from the north as may be seeded, can matiu facture the finer grades of geods, and can market both the coarse and the fine grades more cheaply than they can be-marketed from New England. Some of the northern mill owners who had established branches in the Carolinas and Geor gia, are transferring their plants to these states because of the superior facilities obtainable there. The truth is that the change, which be gan in a small way a few years ago, has steadily increased in magni tude, and has become a matter of gravity more especially for Massa chusetts and Connecticut. It is folly to try any longer to belittle that change. New York Sun. News and Observer: News reached here Saturday of the burn ing of Stanly county jail at Albe marle Friday night. The build ing wae set on fire by one of the colored inmates, and when the fire was discovered it had gone too far to be checked. The jail was entirely consumed. Buildings near by were several times in danger, but were saved by hard work. Six prisoners were in the jail at the time. All were rescued. A crazy man who was kept in the jail dis covered the fire first, and by his cries' gave the alarm. Wilmington Star: The steam boat Frank SessomS, from Fay etteville, arrived yesterday morn ing covered with ice. Capt. Ro binson says the weather Thursday night was the worst he had ever experienced. The Killam with flat in tow, also from Fayetteville, got in later in the day. During the gale she was driven ashore and got aground on a rice field near Navassa. Waynesville Courier : A. little year old child of Mr. J. L. Queen's was sernusly burned last Saturday at its home near Waynes ville. The child with some other small children was lett in a room for a short while by their mother. The child in question was stoop ing by the small fire which was burning in the fireplace when its dress caught fire. An 8 year old sister who was nursing the baby cime to the rescue and gave the alarm which brought in their mother. They extinguished the flames as quickly as possible but n it until the little fellow was badly burned from its hips up to its head. The mother, and two of the older children bad their hands badly burned in tying to save the ittle one. Dr. Allen is the at tending physician and is doing all be can to save the little sufferer, but it is a bad Case. . Not Satisfied Reidsvillo Review: Chairman Iolton is a walking and talking "individual disappointment" now adays, and he is not backward, by any means, in letting his n ments be kii'. He coiii ! himself a man w .th a grievance and from the way he is deliver ing himself it is plainly evident that he has it "in" for somebody. The following, from the Winston Sentinel, may suffice to show the ityle and amount of talking he is doing as the days go by: Chairman Holton, of the Re publican State Executivo Com railtec, while here Thursday was informed that hi.fncnds in this part of the State regretted to see him get left in the race forAUmted States Senator. His reply was that "we cannot get everything we want." Tho chairman ad mitled that it looked like Butler and Fritchard mado a trade dur ing the campaign to "pull" for one another when the Legislature met "They bad to form a com bine to bent me," said Holton. "DidiPritcharddomnch cam palgn workf ' ine Chairman was asked. ' MVory little; aboul the only Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest UvS. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE work he did was to make a few speeches in the Asheville District for Pearson." Another Machine Co Articles of incorporation of the Yenners Continuous Cigar ette Machine Company were filed in the county clerk's office in Jersey City a few days ago. The company's object is to break up the cigarette trust, so it is stated. It has a capital of $100,- 000, and with its improved pat ented machinery it claims to be able to be able to manufacture cigarettes cheaper than the trust can do. The corporators are Thomas Venners, of Pittsburg James H. Venners, of Brooklyn; Walter Carroll, of Lynchburg, Va.; Edmund C. Maore, of New York; and Robert Carey, of Jersey City. The company will establish a factory in Jersey City. Unless more liberally construed than constructed, the North Carolina anti-trust law will act as a terriblo boomer ang. It prohibits limiting pro duction of product by or com modity br any one, etc. Mills and factories can't agree to shut down, nor planters to reduce acreage, but if it serves the prime purpose of putting out trusts, we trust it will prevail, and it will no doubt, unless the tobacco men themselves, repre senting many interests, inter fere, as they did before. South ern Tobacconist. The organization of the Appo mattox National Park association at Lynchburg, Va., and the char acter of the citizens who have iden tified themselves with the move ment, says the Washington Post. show that vigorous effort is to be made for the preservation of the grounds made forever historic by the capitulation of Lee to Grant and by the grand parole of the confederate army. It is true, in deed, that the list of memorial parks would be incomplete without Appomattox, and no doubt all ob jections to the project will be ruled out on a point of order; albeit something of a feeling has been engendered in congress that there should be some limit set to further expenditures by the government in these commemorative directions. The thing may be considered settled, however, so far as Appo mattox is concerned and the American people generally will, in all probability, fall into line with a chorus of unanimous approval. What particular shape the move- tent will take docs not appear to e determined as yet, but the pro moters, with due regard to the commanding dignity of their en terprise, have deemed it best to enlist the president of the United CARL Ii.

In the mean time the local Virginia committee will send an advisory committee to Washington to take such further steps as may be necessary to en large and perfect the organization. Now that the Appomattox post- office has been rescued from the change of name to which the de partment here had unaccountably asd sacrilegiously subjected it, there will be a readier disposition, perhaps, throughout the country to perpetuate and save from any future menace of mutilation or ob livion the name by which this fa mous locality has gone into the world's history. Henceforth and through all time it will be Appo mattox; and in some respects, for sentimental considerations it may be or the impulses of patriotic emotion, evefced by the peculiar association here intermingled, rather than for any topographical interest irom a military point ot view, this memorable field will possess an attractiveness to the American people attaching to none of the treat batt'e-erounds on which as fratricidal combatants they decided momentous issues and gave heroic illustration of American valor.
