The VLovxxxxq Jftatv By WILLI AH II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Morning, Dec. 29, 1890 ' THE WEST AND EAST. It is thought no financial legisla tion can pass the Senate this session because of the conflict between the far Western Republican Senators who want free silver coinage and the Eastern Republicans who don't want it. Afraid to entirely ignore the urgent demands of the alarmed business men of the country to do something with this question they got together and patched up some sort of a plan which, after several conferences and changes, was finally submitted to the caucus of Senators to make it a caucus measure and t hus whip in the Republican Senators to whom it was not fully acceptable. But they didn't succeed to their hearts desire in this, for Senator Stewart of Nevida was there and promptly offered a free coinage amendment, this being the condition of his support to the caucus measure. Of course that didn't meet with an enthusiastic response, for that was the very thing the Easterrf gentle men didn't want, and the very thing they were trying to choke off by caucusing upon it. Behind Stewart are the Senators from all the raining States of the West who snap their fingers at the caucus when it comes to this ques tion of dollars and whether silver shall continue to play a subordinate part to gold, with which it was equal until legislative rascality acting in the interest of the money kings made it unequal. It is regarded by some as a strik ing fact that some at least of these free-coinage Republicans are op posed to the Force bill, and that one of the strongest speeches made against it was made by Senator Stewart, the proposer of the free coinage amendment to the financial scheme presented to the caucus. It has been hinted that there is an understanding between the Demo cratic Senators and these free-coinage Republican Senators, and that they .will defeat that and also any financial bill which does not pro vide for free coinage. This may or may not be so, but (whether it is or not it indicates that the Western Senators have some ideas of their on which they will stand by in defiance of the caucus whip a good thing for the coun try when conspirators run the machine. It shows something more and that is a coflict of opin ion on vital questions between the representatives of the West and of the East, which Dodes no good to the Republican party. The time was when the East led and the West followed, the East shaping the financial policy, the tariff policy and all other policies, the West follow ing and sustaining these policies as party measures, although they were sometimes detrimental to her inter ests. In a partisan spirit she subor dinated these interests to party suc cess, and is now in consequence reaping the harvest of woe. But that day has gone by. The young West no longer submissively follows, but aspires to lead ; no longer subordinates her own inte rests to the interests of others, but shows a disposition to do some thinking for herself and to take care of herself. Hence the revolt against the McKinley tariff, the positive po sition taken on the silver question, and the notice served that they re cognized no caucus decrees where Western interests were involved, tor this is substantially what their ac tion means. Aside from the questions involved in this there, is something like retri butive justice in it, for it was by the votes of Eastern Representatives and Senators that these States were ad mitted which are now giving the Re publican party so much trouble, and which will in the future give it still more. In their efforts to prevent the Democratic party from coming into power, these Eastern Republi cans planned unconsciously for their own overthrow. This is one conso lation, at least, for those who op posed and protested against the ad mission of these new States until some good reason aside from politi cal necessity could be shown for their admission. MINOR MENTION. As an evidence of Mr. Harrison's kifidness ot heart, some of the Re publican papers tell a story about a nine-year old girl in the State of New Vork who, without suggestion from any one, wrote him a letter tel ling him of the fruitless efforts of her widowed mother to obtain a pen sion. The President investigated the matter, and as a result, Mrs. Krebs, the mother of the child, has been re cently nformed that her claim has been allowed, with 9G0 back pen sion. While this is creditable to Mr. Harrison's kindness of heart, it shows one of two things, either that the Pension office is conducted in a very unsatisfactory way, or that the President possesses a ma gic influence in securing the prompt recognition of claims, which without it receive no recogni tion. This claim may be all right or it may not be. If it is all right it should have been attended to with out any Presidential interference or suggestion. In speaking some time ago about the extortions perpetrated on pensioners by pension agents, Secretary Noble said that if the pen sioners knew it they could have their claims quite as expeditiously attended to through the Pension Office itself without the employment and expense of attorneys. This don't look like it, for in this case Mr. Harrison, acting as a volunteer pension agent, speedily secured the allowance of a claim which the ap plicant had fruitlessly endeavored to secure. Capitalists are rapidly getting po session of the timber and mineral lands of West Virginia. Within the past week Morgan, Drexel & Co-., of Philadelphia, representing the Van derbilt interest have closed a deal of 50,000 acres of coal and coke lands in Raleigh county which they will connect by rail with the Baltimore & Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. The B. & O. railroad company has purchased 75,000 acres of mineral and timber lands, the C. & O. company has purchased large tracts into which it is constructing branch roads, and a syndicate com posed of Senator Gorman, of Mary land, Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State and others, has pur chased between 10,00 and 20,000 acres, into which railroads wilL be run. The fact that railroads are to be constructed on all these proper ties shows that they have not been purchased to hold on speculation but for development, by which the State will become a gainer. West Vir ginia is rich in minerals especially in coal and iron. ' It is stated that en gineers have lately traced the Poca hontas coke deposits from the head of G iyan River through Wyoming, Raleigh and Fayette counties to the New River coal country. Across this stretch there are four distinct veins of coal, bituminous and cannel as a general thing above water and easily worked. It has just been discovered that the old Emperor, William I, of Ger many, remitted $60,000 of taxes due on the estate of a favorite baron and some pretty sharp criticisms are be ing made upon it. As the old gen tleman has been dead for some time he is not annoyed by thee criticisms, although the transactiondidn't show up very well for tiim, because it was robbing the treasury of State of that much money to put into the pocket of a favorite baron. If the old gen tleman had lived on this side of the water he might have developed tal ents for a high protective tariff statesman, for that is precisely what they are doing and have been doing for quarter of a century, fobbing the people by excessive taxation to put money in the pockets of favorite manufacturers and others, who re ciprocate by shelling out the needful liberally in political campaigns. The old Emperor's action is quite as de fensible as theirs. STATE TOPICS. Next to railroads the most impor tant agency in building up the busi ness of a town is good country roads, good highways leading to and from the town. This is a matter on which the business prosperity depends more than at first sight it might seem. The merchant who does a a country trade who sits in his light ly patronized store looking at a big stock of goods in the fall or spring, waiting for the roads to become passable, while his paper is maturing, realizes this. If the truth were known it would be found that bad country roads have had much to do with the business failure of many a merchant. They hurt both town and country. CURRENT COMMENT. If every dollar not needed by the Government for its legitimate expenses had been left where it be longs in the pockets of the men who earned it we should hear very little of financial distress. N. Y. World, Dem. The Force Election bill is dead; it has been dead for months; it is pujrid and a stench in the nostrils of the nation, and it should at once be consigned to the grave that be yond the reach of the resurrection trump. PJiil. Times, rid. It has heen solemnly decided by the McKinley owls in the Treas ury Department that natural gas is a "manufacture not otherwise pro vided for," and is therefore to be taxed 10 per cent, ad valorem. We may expect to see duties levied on the Canadian waters that flow into the Niagara River and on the for eign pauper air that blows across the border. Dame Nature's labora tory is evidently among the manu factories expected to nay top-notch tribute to all-embracing McKinley ism. Ar. Y. Star. Dem. The immigration returns for eleven months of this year show an increase of 20,826 from Bohemia, Hungary, and Austria over last year, an increase of more than 50 per cent. The Denmark, France and Germany returns are about as last year. The United Kingdom shows a falling off of 16,634. Italy and Poland increase from 32,120 to 77, 899. These figures indicate the de sirableness of making known the fascinations of Brazil for the settlers that come from some of these for eign regions. N. Y. Commercial Bulletin, Did. counterfeit"gold pieces. An Almost Perfect Imitation of theJFive Dellar Coin. Phil. Inquirer, Dec. 22. The most dangerous counterfeit ever known in the history of the coinage of this Government has been found by the authorities of the Mint in this city. It is a five-dollar gold piece designed and executed with such remarkable skill that few of the experts can distinguish the spurious poins from the genuine. In general appearance, color, weight, and design the counterfeit is perfect. It is an exact fac simile of the true coin except in size. It is slightly larger in diameter, but the discrep ancy is so small that only careful measurement with a special instru ment in the hands of a skillful man will reveal the difference, and even an assay has been found necessary to establish definitely its spurious character. Only a few have been discovered in the Mint, but even conjecture cannot approximate the number that are floating through the banks and the Sub-Treasuries. The principal fact which makes them most difficult of detection is that thev are made of gold, but the metal is a lower grade than the gov ernment standard, which is 900 fine. The spurious pieces are about fifty points less. Assays made at the Mint have shown that they have an intrinsic value of $4.40, leaving the countefeiter a profit of 60 cents on each piece for his labor. The same skill which characterizes the design and execution of the coin is observed in the reduction of the standard. The alloy is so skillfully made up that the weight is made to correspond with the exact preciseness to the genuine coin. The authorities have only a theo ry as to how the false coins are made, but they are satisfied of the correctness of the conclusions. The counterfeiter appears to possess some process by which he can temper a genuine coin to a degree of great hardness. He understands also how steel can be refined and softened so that it can be made to take an in dented impression like a piece of lead. Having adapted his steel, he places upon it a hardened coin, which he then subjects t a quick, heavy pressure. The metal receiving the impression is next hardened, and when this process is finished, the counterfeiter has an almost perfect die with which to stamp his pieces. I differs from the genuine die only in- that the pressure required for the imDression exnands the coin, mak ing the dies lightly larger in diameter. This circumstance furnishes the ex planation for the difference existing between the sizes of the genuine and false coins. - WASHINGTON! AN REMINDERS. Becord of Some of His Business Transac tions in Fayette County. Uniontown Standard. The name of "General G Wash ington" can- be seen in several places in one -of- the very first execution dockets in Fayette county, but still in a good state of preservation in Prothonotary Witt's office. From the various entries and the regulari ty with which judgments the first President of this country held against citizens of Fayette county were en tered up shows him to have been a good business man as . well as ' a soldier. In most cases where exe cutions were made the creditor's claim was satified. The first noticed was in the June term of 1786, in which General G. Washington ob tains a judgment against Robert Rowan for the sum of jQZh 18s. Id, and after the service of an execution the docket is satisfied. . The next is in the December term of 1786, General G. Washington vs. Moses Thompson, bail for Gilbert Simpson. Here the bail has the sum of jQ 10s. 9d. to pay for Simp son Again in the June term of 1789 we find General G. Washington vs. Basil Brown anji Thomas Brown where the latter have to pay the sum of .194. The next execution is made after the June term of 1790, where the entry says: "George Washington, President of the United States, vs. John Stephenson," and the amount the latter owes to the Presi dent is 176. Stephenson does not seem to have been awed into paying his distinguished creditor, as the judgment is renewed through several terms, but is finally paid. The last execution entered on this docket in which Washington was plaintiff, was in December term, 1795, "where "Gen. G. Washington vs. Israel Streve," is entered. The amount in question this time is large, being 6,000, and the only credit which the docket shows is Jj709. It is carried forward and renewed for several years and there is no entry that shows it all to have been paid. AN AFRICAN KING REFORMS. He Becomes a Teetotaler, Quits Killing People and Stops the Slave Trade. A few years ago King Lewanika, the ruler of the great Ba Rotse peo ple pn the Upper Zambesi, was held up to the world by a number of travellers as a particularly hideous and despicable African ruler. Almost every day he indulged in the pastime of human sacrifices. He was con stantly fitting out expeditions to capture slaves, and he seemed to embody all the vices and none of the virtues of the native princes of Africa. The missionary, Coillard, who be came famous for the succor which he gave to Serpa Pinto, which un doubtedly saved the life of that ex plorer, now writes that King Lewan ika has turned over a new leaf. Coil lard and some other missionaries have been in the King's country for a number of years, and the good in fluence of this admirable man and his assistants doubtless explains the change that has come over the dusky monarch. Coillard says that within the past three years the King has not offered up a single victim as a sacri fice. He has also become a teeto taler, and he also tries to prevent his chiefs from indulging in drink. He does not permit the sale of native beer in his capital. There is a good deal of grumbling over this mandate of the King, but those who live in his chief town and the neigh borhood are compelled to obey him. He has also ceased to send out slave raiding expeditions, and does not permit his people to sell slaves to caravans. This year a large car avan of black merchants came from Bihe, and the King learned that his people had sold quite a number of slaves to the caravan. Before the merchants left his country King Le wanika liberated all the slaves, and imposed a fine upon the merchants by confiscating a part of their ivory. The British South Africa Company expects to have this large region, first made known to us by Livings ton, under its control. RIGHT TO RESPECT GRAY HAIRS But She Wishes People Would be Just a Little More Discriminating. N. Y. Sun. "Do I look like an old woman?" she asked. "Old?" said her husband, and he added "well!" as though it were astonishing that anybody could ask such a question. Then he finished his answer : "You are not. You are a lovely and charming woman." And so she. was. True, she was a little over 40, but her eyes were bright, her complexion was clear, and there was a touch of color in her cheeks. Her hair was gray, but gray hair was very becoming to her. "Thank you, sir," she said, anil in answer to "Why do you ask such a silly question?" she continued: "Be cause I had two experiences to-day that hurt my feelings. In a Sixth avenue car, in which all the seats were taken, a young lady offered me her seat. I said 'Thank you, I pre fer to stand,' and I- don't suppose I should have thought of it again, though I couldn't see why she should offer her seat to me; but in a yellow car in Fourteenth street another young lady offered me her seat. Not a man got up, but this young woman said: " 'Won't you take my seat?' " 'No, I thank you,' I said. 'I much prefer to stand.' " 'Please take it,' she said. 'Really I wpuld rather stand than not.' "Of course I couldn't talk with her about it "and have the whole car looking at us, so i took the seat. She was very kind and pleasant, but I did wish she had not offered it to me; I don't like to have two such offers in one day." PERSONAL. Waldo Story, son of the Ameri can sculptor, is to design the . marble decorations for Baron Rothschild's house. The ex-Emperor of Brazil, who is living at Cannes, has nearly com pleted h is Portuguese translation of the "Arabian Knights." The first monument to Her nando Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, has heen unveiled in his native city of Medelin, in Estramadum, Spain. Rumor has it that King Kala kaua got away with the entire surplus of. the Hawaiian treasury before he left Honolulu and lost it all at poker.' Rev. Francis Barnum, a Jesuit priest, has been detailed for missionary service on the Yukon river of Alaska. He is a son of the late Zenas Barnum, of Baltimore. At the Ames-West wedding in Boston the father of the happy groom, F. L. Ames, settled the sum of $1,000, 000 upon his son as his share of the joy ous occasion. The Compte de Paris is said to have promised to write a book of American impressions, the title of which is to be "America Revisited," or "Ameri ca Twenty-five Yeers After the War." Sitting Bull's language was a compound of pure Sioux and mongrel English, in which a number of French words were mixed. The latter ftad been picked up from the post'traders. The Czar has conveyed to the American colony of St. Petersburg, through Charles Emory Smith, the United States Minister, his thanks for their resolutions expressing gratitude for the liberty they have enjoyed during his reign. POLITICAL "POINTS. Perhaps careful nursing can keep some life in the Alaska question as a jingo issue until 18112. In the mean time, if kept near the danger point it may serve to lend a color of urgency to increased naval appropriations and lib eral bounties to steamers that may be turned into cruisers in time of war. But a warlilce crisis is a dangerous plaything for a small President with a big Secre tary of State ready to succeed him. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dem. When the friends of the Force bill and of the hermaphrodite Financial bill are fighting tor advantage, time flies, One-third of the session has gone and nothing has been done that needs to be acne in the Senate. It will not eclipse the gayety of the nation if the conten tion now going on shall continue until the opportunity for either political or fi nacial legislation shall have overpast. When partisans fall out the people have a chance for their lives. Phil. ' Record. Dem. While the Force bill has not yet been given its final quietus, the Demo crats have reason to congratulate them selves on the success so lar attained, the more particularly as every week of delay serves only to array against the partisan and sectional attempt a healthy public sentiment, especially among the solid business interests of the country, which canno: but weaken more and more the support of the measure among the Re publicans in Che Senate.
