VOL. 76 NO. 49. DURHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1897. ESTABLISHED 1820 NOT MUC H FAITH. In this weeks issue the Ouu casian cri noises fcJenat- r Pritch ard and show 1 bat they have not got much faith in him as a silver man. The fol. owing are some: of the extracts of ; trie editorial and will be of interest to our readers at this time: In the resolution signed by Senator Pritchard and - sixteen other repMcan senators, he de clans that the people of the United Staten can be rc-ecued from impending danger how f By the only method possible, whicl is the free aud unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio xf 16 to 1, by the independent vac tion "of the United S ites. "In the par illed letter, of F.Sruaiy 13.h. '95, be .a: - he rtnub.ican party iocs noi 1 -TCr Hi" J'C UUIHBgO IM BH TV I ue an independent, single arid separate financial policy." "Now in one instance the senator dechres for one thing, but in another ho says his prty does m t favur it And it must be note I that he adhcreu to his party, for he says he has an abiding fait i in its lune6ty. Now, if the n publican party does not favor tree silver by in- deceijuent action, and Senator FritcLard has an abiding faith in the honesty of the republicat party, it is dear 'hat Senator Tritchard cannot favor free sil ver by independent action with out compromising his own hon esty." . "Now, let it be remembered be reelected, be will h?lp the " McKinley administration organ ize he senate, for his election will give the administration '.'-.at "powr. Vvith his election th administration will organize all tho committees, and under the present- declared policy of the administration, these commit tees will see that no' silver bill will ever get before the senate. Hence Mr. Pptchard's declara tion that ha will vote for it (if it comes up) means nothing. With Mr. Piilchard in he senate, supporting the administration, such a bill would never come up. RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT TAX ATION. : . Under the above head the New York Journal says: He that giveth to 'the poor lendeth to the Lord," says the Good Book; but he that lendeth to the Lord to escape' taxation, how shall he fare? Here follow an extract from tb testimon) of John D. Rockefeller, of me Standard Oil Company, in the rial of the suit brougM against him by the Rev. Daniel C. Pot t terinthe name of the labe uTiiM.'ia tha real fiwnPf fif the lease, obtaToerf ior. JH Mark's Church?" Mr. Rockefel ler ws asked. I was," he answered. "But it was held in the mm of the church; why was that?' "The reason for that," re plied. Mr. Rokfellr, "was to escape taxation. If I had held the lease in tny , name the pn- perty would have been taxed, if the church held it, it was t exempt from taxation." This astonishing statement if beyond belief. The Journal therefore, prefers to think tba Mr. Rockefeller did himself in justice; that he did not put the property in the church's name to escape taxation, but that, re " inhering the text, "It it euaier for a' camel ta ai through the eye of a needie tnan for a rich man iO enter .he kingdom of Heaven." he is be ginning a transfer for the pur pose of deceifing the recording v angel, whom he doubtless con ceives to be a kind of assessor.

DECISIS OF DRUNKENNESS. Although 1898 was a very bad year for manufacturing indus tries and tin general business of the cou. 7 there was one notable exception to the almost oniform rule of depression; The manufacture, sale, and con sumption of malt liquors steadi- ly increased from the tiret day of January to the; last day of December. With the except ion of Cincinnati and New Orleans, in which there was a slight de crease, there was a Jrrge iu crease iu every city where an extensive brewing business is carried on. And, although the tines were harder in '90 than in '95. fully tn per cent more of beor was consumed in the former than in II ittter The official fignres 6how an increase of 220.700 b rrelH ?n Nw York and inoro ..nan 5 a,ou" iu dhica go, while the etaia and decor nus c-itv uf PhihiHelnhia (MiikcrI . .X . 2 fi titvm ttrirri an 11 tF17n I MA . , . . , , . .

T hese figures, like tho stativ lies of i.'ievious years, 6how a continued increase in the use of beer in the United States, and a comoarison of beer statistics wii h tim rnnsna tMoa rf nnnn lation proves that it takes more beer every year to meet the warns of a given number f persons than the quantity that 8Uiliced tor the year before.

The Washington Post of yes: terday says: "Mr. Hanna seems to have had everything well greased tor the senatorial occasions in North Carolina and Idaho." Yes, he seemed to have his own way down here but he has uot electtd his man vet by a Ions sight. If Tritchard is elected it is clear that Hauna paid the price and some body will be called to account. Any body, who belongs to a party that has declared straight for sil ver, and then goes and votes for a gold bug like Pritchard clearly proves that they are uot working for nothing.

One of these queer cases . was re ported to the House recently, says the Washington Post.) It was a Pennsylvania case; where a soldier enlisted as Harmon Francis, a name he assumed for the correct one of Hiram Francis; He fought h rough three years of the war in Company K of the Ninety-seventh Infantry Volunteers, f At the end of that term of service he was veteranized; and . re-eulisted for three years more. But soon, by the consent of his company and regiment officers he ,w i eiy'vl to go home, and his b ,., JJr y Francis, took his plf c.e "Ju C ic ranks. "' Now, the brother II Lram is dead .j.. George served to tlie cud of the war and received honorable dis charge in bis . brother's assumed name. He was wounded iu the mine explosion at Petersburg, lor which he drew a pension under his brother's enlisted name until he latter died, when il was stop ped. But George wauls a pen sion lor his - seventeen mouths service. Hiram's widow , now re ceives pension for the; service of her dead husbaud. This was too much for the Bureau f Pensions, and so the matter was taken to Congress, where the committee on uvalid Pensions decides ' that both soldier and substitute's widow are entitled to government aid in their declining years. A PATHETIC SPEECH. Although the House killed the Pacific Railroad funding bill by an overwhelming majority, it lowed its sympathy for one of the ead!"g advocates of that bill by rdering a speech stricken frorathe Record which had bceu' inserted under the leave to-pfiut rule by Representative Maguire, of Cali brnia, and which contained re 'erences to the indictment of Rep resentative Johnson, of California, iu Syracuse, N. Y., more than thirty years ago for forgery; aud emphasis was added by the refusal of the House to order Representa tive Johnson's ppeech, in which lie made a very bitter attack on William R. Hearst, stricken from lie Record. This action was taken by the House after Mr. Johnson md made one of the most pathetic speeches ever made in Congress, acknowledging that he had been indicted iu New York and giving details of his going to California and working to rcgaiu his good name and to repay the money, in both of which objects he showed that he had succeeded. There were tear? in the eyes of more than one man on the floor of the House when Mr. Johnson said in hiV pccch: "I tell this to show what I am not ashamed of my life, that I havo not concealed this blot upon it. Can every man in this House and this country say so much? Jn Sarcamento I have built up a name and a fame that any man might be proud of." Held t'p By flevea Band Hrt. Guthrie, Okl., Jan. 17. A party of emigrants en route from Missouri to Oklahoma by wagon train were held up aud robbed o all tnouey and valuables in the mountain country ou the western line of the Creek Reservation. The robbers secured about 1,000. There were six bandits under tlie leadership of a man whom one of the Missouriaos recognized as George Taylor, the escaped mur derer of the Meets family. This is the same section in which a traveling man recognized Taylor a month ago, and is a rough, mountainous district, where the Cook, and Dolan gangs . m b Wn7- .vv-,, . MAY DEFEAT THE TufciAlY. ," According to present appear ances, a combination of diplo matic opposition, personal feel ing, and small politics may en danger, if not actually prevent, the ratification of the arbitra tion treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which was signed by representatives of both governments and sent to the senate last week. In view of the known sentiment of the country in favor of the arbi tration of international differ ences, it was supposed that the senate would promptly ratify the treatv. It was known of course, that the diplomatic re presentatives of European coun- ti;JVMpecially Kustna. .rould like tooe this treaty fail, but itfwas not : supposed that tbey would dare to engage in intri gue to bring about its failure; but they are doing that . very thing. And the personal feel ing of senators against Secre tary Olhey because of the posi tion he maintains concerning the power of the president in recognizing new nations is help ing them, and the small politic of those Republican senator who are willing that the treaty shall be jeopardized or even lost entirely lather than to see tl.it administration get any credit or having brought it about it- doing likewise. This situation is not creditable to the senate, but it exists all the same. ADOPTED A NEW PLAN'. It seems that the question of state aid to higher education it assuming a new shape. The following taken from the Kinr ton Free Press says that thost who are enemies to the Univer sity have adopted a new plan of operation. It is as follows: "The anti-state aid to the University movement takes a new shape now. Il is masked under a demand for a !four months r term of - the - public schools. The plan is to trv tt brce the legislature to act ot the matter early in its sessirn, and appropriate every cent, t the limit, on the commor. schools. Thi n the University, state normal school, etc., would lave to shift for themselves. fbe result would be that North rolina boys who' wished b Jniver8ity education would have to leave the state. It wouh' mean that farmers and me e ;a uics' sons who wished f practical education couldn't gei it in North Carolina, because i would abolish the Agriculture' and Mechanical college, one of the very best institutions in tht Union. It would mean a long step to the rear in the ma'sinp of big, broad, brainy and fully developed men in North Caro ioa.' Woman fjhot bj Itobbera. MacoV, Ga , Jan, 14. Mrs Wm.

Jones, the great sensationalist, who believes in usiug "cu6s .words" from the pulpit to impress what he hat to say on his hearers, J ad the following to say in regard to Tom Watson, of Georgia," who has been raising such a racket because he was not elected sen ator, after he had two trfa's: "I always liked Tom Watson. Personally, he is : a clever fel low. I admire him now. Afte? the democrats of the tenth dis trict have counted him two oi three times out of congress and treated him like a dog, I glory in Tom's spunk.

I am for Tom Watson agaitst the whole gang. He is a better man than any of bis maligners: Ie is a purer p,'n.'cian than any of his companions and has got more sente than any of the big men in either party.
