"e regret the laying over of the
Brekenridge"bill providing for get
tinrj out -among the people the fuuds
now! held in the treasury for the re
denptioQ of legal tender notes and as
security for national bank circulation
in flivor of the Mills billr which pro
vides "that the Secre'.ary of the
Treasury' shall apply' the surplus
moiey now in the Treasury and npt
otherwise appropriated, "or so much
thereof as he may consider proper,
to fthe fmrchase or redemption pi
Unjted States bonds," and which is
to be favorably reported. i
The President has spoken on this
subject, and his words should not
forffotten. In" his last message he
said:' in ine consiueranoii ui tue
id: '"In the consideration of the 1
question; of purchasing bonds a i a
meikns of,restoring to Circulation tlje
Burplus tnoney accumulating : in the
treasury,, it should be borne in mind
that premiums must of course be
upob such purchase, that there
be a large, part &f these, bondis
as investments which cannot
purchased at any price,
and that combinations among holder
who are willing to sell may unreason
ably enhance the cost of eucb bonds
to the government."
'Government 4 1891, are quo
ted at about 108 government
4, 1907, at 126$. Any. large
demand such as the Mills bill con
templates would send these prices
up kiting and the people do not by
any means care to be taxed for the
purpose of anticipating the payment
of their obligations and throwing in
huge bonuses in 'be way of premi
ums to the bondholders.
Besides, at the present rate of in
crease of the fund to be applied un
der the bill tho total interest beaiing
debt would bo absorbed in a few
years. Then what? The amount
of the fund held in the treaj
uty for 'he redemption of bank notes
is $101,000,000, according to the last
statement, and it increases at the
rate Of at least if 2",000,000 a year.
The Burplus in the? treasury amounts
to $110,000,000 iu round numbers.
By -Vlty, as the President said,
and as the News asd Observer
said, it will amount to 514U,UUU,UUU.
All the 8230,000,000 JJ's, then, might
ba absorbed by 1889 and the 732,
000,000 4's not many years later.
Then what could be done ?
The idea involved in tbe bill ia
wrong, rue thing to do is to reduce
the taxation that weitrhs so heavily
and distressingly on the body of the
people so that there may be no sur
plus whatever. What we have on
h,and should be distributed among
the States as Mr. Henderson propose-
-that ia to pay, as directly as
possible.
The clever, shrewd and patriotic
McClammy has found a way in which
all public servants who are burdened
with' the cares of their offices beyond
what they say ia the point of endu
rance can find relief. Resignation,
he righ ly holds, is always possible
aud with it escape from whatever
vexations and annoyances the service
of the people may entail. He has
made tbis plain to Public Printer
Benedict in a way that has amused a
great many people. He is to be hail
ed as a beufactor. But will bis ad
vice ever be taken to any great ex
tent ? We fear not- So far the rule
holds good that few office holders die
and none resign. '

In addition -to the declarations of
the Democratic -pai ty for the repeal
of the internal revenue law, the farm

The fault in cows failing in milk is
probably more in the cat le than the
feed Cows bein accustomed to'
havipg their calves suckle, and
those calves not being weaned
wouLl account for it, to some
extent. A mixture of bran, corn
mealj peas and oats is the best feed
in the world for milk; corn fed ajone
will ,lay on fat. Sweet potatoes',
boihid with rutabaga turnips, cotton
seed ; and bran mixed thin and fed

Thet bought foods "come high;" but
the increased value of the manure,

Dear Children : Little Graham
Andrews is the advance guard this
week. His mother sends the follow
ing translation of his funny little pen
cil marks :
"Dear Miss Cameron : I thick the
accompanying letter from my little
boy ought not to be sent to you with
out a translation. His interpretation
is : 'Dear Aunt Beckio : Some money
for taking medicine is for the hos
pital. I send it to you 25 cents and
a big- copper cent, 2G cents. Your
little friend.1 Enclosedyou will please
find the same. Be assured of the
earnest sympathy pf many in the no
ble wOrk to which you so earnestly
devote yourself."
Medicine money is very suitable for
a hospital, little Master,, but I am
afraid I could not have made very
much but of your letter if mamma had
not interpreted it for me. Mothers
are so much wiser than other people,
you know.
The assurances of sympathy and in
terest from the children's "elders atd
betters'1 is very encouraging, for with
out it the work would fare but badly;
and I would be completely out of
heart.
No matter what the work may be
no one can si aud alone. Even Moses'
hand drooped unless Aarou and Hur
held them up for him. The next 'et
ter came from a "true and true" baby:
"Dear Aunt Beckie: I have been
waiting ever since Christina for some
one to. write for me. Though I am
not nine months old I suppose I'll
have to write myself and bend you
25 cents that Santa Claus put in my
stocking. My mother did say I might
earn some money if I would sleep all
night, but if she thinks I can do that
these long winter nights, I don't be
lieve Bhe has ever been a boy. Do
you?"
No, Will, I Am sure she never was.
And she don't even know much about
boys if she thinks they could 'keep
out of mischief that long! It is a
shame : you had to, write for yourself
alter waiting so long, it is
shames, Wiliits, for I have
kept Waiting all this while
derini; what had become
two
been
won-
of
all my Edgecombe children
who used to be so many and so faith
ful. When I began to think about
taking up the Cot again, I said I was
sure of so many children from Tar
boro and Scotland Neck, and lo and
behold I one little, not-year old baby
is the lone color-bearer that Edge
combe can muster into sarvic.
S j ybu see, my bonny boy, how
much you have to do; sustaining the
honor of two whole corporations, and
almost a regiment of Smiths, for I
tad nearly that many of your family
and collaterals enlisted inthe old
days.
Then, Chapel Hill contributed to
the No Name Series.
"I enclose 82.00 for the Bishop At
kinson 'Memorial Cot," one dollar,
from a friend and well wisher;
twenty-five cents each fiom my two
little baby nieces, Louise Venable
aud Mary Weldon Huske, and fifty
cents for my .contribution. With best
wishes, I am your young friend."
1 am very mucn oDliged to my
young friend, and also to tho friend
and well-wisher.
I hope I have written 'lie baby
nieces' names correctly. A commit
tee of two sat in judgment on tLe
question.
Now the next letter was about as
welcome, as a letter could be, because
it shows me that Tarboro does not
intend to fall out of tanks. The su
perintendent of Calvary Sunday
school says: "Dear Madam: I have
the pleasure of enclosing check for
five dollars for tho 'Bishop At
kiusou Memorial Cot' from 'ihe
Messengers of Hp' of Calvary
parish Sunday school You doubtless
have not forgotten us, and that we
have not responded lo the call sooner,
was not because we felt no interest,
but that 'our pennies' were being
Beatteredtrjingtodogood, though we
have sen; some for this purpose
I devote the offerings during. Lent
to General Missions, but will after
that render you help again. I feel
now that the endowment is certain
since you have taken hold of it. It
is a shame that churchmen of Nor h
Carolina have allowed it to be so. It
ought long ago to have been com
pleted. I trust now by your efforts it will
be done; and repeat, I am more hope
ful. Oily a week or so ago I learned
you had gone to work at it. I picked
up the. Observer and read your let
ter. .
Wishing you success and promising
what aid I can render from the Sun
day school, I am very truly."
I am sincerely glad to find that
Calvary church Sunday school is go
ing to be my faithful ally as of old.
No indeed, my dear Bir ; I have not
forgotten a single name that Edge
combe county sent to me, many as
they were, and I had been both sur
prised and disappointed that not one
volunteer had re enlisted with me.
The Messenger letter is published
regularly in the Sunday issue of the
Daily aud in the Weekly News and
Observer, bo that those who can't af
ford to take one can Bee it in the
other, which is only $1 25 a year.
I thank you very much for vour
as4urance of faith in the completion
of the work; I never doubted that,
the children would finish whatever
they undertook. Tbe Chinese schol
arship taught me that; but I like to
be reassured, especially when the
faith and the works" go hand in
hand.
Edenton comes next :
"My little Mes engers are ready to
come again with their second offering.
They have been saving it penny by
penny since the first of the year.
They are much interested in the dear
'Bishop's Cot' and the little sick
child who is to occupy it, and are
anxious to help all they can. George,
our only little man, eight years old,
earns most of his pennies by helping
'father' (who is a physician) to 'col
lect' on Saturdays. Kate, who is
mamma's own little . girl, helps in
many ways, doing house-work, run
ning on errands and making herself
useful generally.
Louise, our wee one, five years old,
sweeps father's office every day (in
her way) for which she is liberally
paid. And being with us all day (the
others being at school), many an odd
p4nny find' its way into h?r little
hand, which instead of being epeut
for the apple or stick of candy for
which it was given, is dropped in the
bank for 'Aunt Beckie."
So this week Kate sends 19c, George
sends 19j, and Louise 35c.
Jleartily wishing you success, lam,
Your children are very faithful, and
I hope George has better success as
a collector than most doctor's sons
meet with, if my father's receipts are
to be taken as an index.
The dear children! how much real
self denial is represented by each
penny that they send. Each one is a
distinct "Ao," Baid to themselves,
and "So," is a hard word to say even
to older people.
The last contribution came
from the friend in Raleigh who had
sent three before. So I have entered
her on the' list of members and am
very glad to hear from her. Now,
children, our space is gone, but I
must beg for enough, to tell you that
with this letter will go your first re
mit ance to the treasurer of St.
Join's. I am going to send it off
in- $50 sums as fast as I get
that much. The sum is now $50 59
It will take fifteen cents to get the
postal order, and that will leave a bal
ance of 44 cents in the bag (the
same old Messenger bag that has
held more than one thousand dollars
of your money,) as a nest egg for the
next fifty. Ah, my smart little chil
dren, in ali'tle over two months you
have made fifty dollars! Who could
help bein proud of such children?
Certainly not their

Co-operation Antony Christian Churches.
The recent meeting of the Evan
gelical Alliance, eld in Washington
City, was addressed by Bishop Hairis,
of .Michigan, one of the. most scholar
ly and eloquent men ..present, in lan
guage which makes very good Sunday
reading. Bishop Harris said : "It is
because human governmeuts cannot
j deal with sin, but only -with conduct,
and because . schools cannot rehabili
tate the decrebit will and regenerate
th depraved and insurgent affection?,
thtt politics aud education alono are
powerless to remedy our evils. Sin
is the arch enemy of our civilization,
and for this the Gospel of the grace
of Jesus the crucified is the only rem
edy. Therefore what we need let
us not conceal or glaze it over what
this hour is calling for with the peal
of a trumpet is religious co operation
such co-operation as will best set
forward the work o evangelical
Christianity in this land. Prof. 'J ay
lor, Lewis bravely and wisely said :
'Divisiou is never to be: treated as a
good per se. I can never go with
those who regard denominational
distinctions as things totally innocent
or desirable, much less desirable. Lt
union, ecclesiastical union, take place
without delay between those bodies
that are divided by the least interval.
Let the last parting be the first to
crime together. Let it be deeply im
pressed on everyjinind that the great
ness of the sin of schism' is in the in
verse ratio of the emallneRs of the
dividing interval.' " The. address con
tinues : "Co-operation, real co-opera
tion, is all that is now .necessary to
bring all tbe evangelical Christians of
this land together, and soon to make
them, whatever their differences of
mere taste or opinion, tbe defeuders
of the same historic faith and the
sharers of the same historic order."
