Jglxc framing jifeu By WH.X.IA3I II. BEKNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday Morning, June G, 1S91 THEY UTS VEIL CAB DO IT. The mortgage indebtedness on the farmers in the State of Kansas' is es timated at 200,000,000, which does not include debts not covered by mortgages. The total indebtedness of the State is 695,000,000, while the total assessed valuation of lands, city lots and personal property is $317,717,218, not, quite half the in debtedness, so that if all the prop erty of various kinds within the State were sold at the assessed valu ation it would not pay more than half the indebtedness. These $200,000,000 of indebted ness on lands is covered by mort gages drawing at least eight per cent, interest, which would be $16, 000,000 before the principal was touched. Now what have they to pay this $200,000,000, with $16,000, 000 interest? It must come out of the soil by hard labor, out of wheat, corn, oats, hogs and cattle. When the farmer mar kets these he must take the market price, whatever that . may be. He don't fix it. It is fixed for him in Chicago, Kansas City or somewhere else, as the price of the Southern farmer's cotton is fixed in Liverpool or Manchester. The price is fixed and he can't help it. If there be a short crop in this country or abroad the price goes up; if there be a full crop and no unusual demand from abroad the price goes down, but the $200,000,000 debt is here all the same and the $16,000,000 interest comes right along regardless of how the markets run. That's where the money lender who has his mortgage locked up in his safe has the advan tage of the farmer. Then suppose a bad crop year comes, too much rain or too little rain, late frosts in the spring or ear ly frosts in the fall, tornadoes, cyclones, hail-storms, chinch bugs, &c, what then? The loss of one .crop destroys the small profit on severaV-t11 stiH the debt stands and the interest runs on the same re gardless of raiss. droughts, frosts, tornadoes, cyclones"" hail-3tOFmsr chinch bugs, or anything else. These don't hurt the money lender with his mortgages in his safe, only in so far as it renders the farmer unable to pay his debt or the interest on it. The money lender is not troubled at this, for when he gets tired waiting he instructs his attorney to foreclose the mortgage, and if there be no bidders to offer a price that he is satisfied with he bids the land in, and thus the debt is paid. If this $200,000,000 debt is ever paid that's the way it must be done. It is an utter impossibility for the farmers to pay it out of the products of their farms, under the present order of things, and at the same time pay the heavy tribute imposed upon them by discriminating federal tariff and financial legislation, ana the taxes levied upon them tor State and county purposes. There is but one other way ; in which it can be done and that way is not likely to be resorted to. In 1858 the farmers of the West were, pretty seriously embarrassed by debt, but not so heavily as now. Then there were bad crops, too, and some farmers pressed for money paid interest as high as three per cent, a month for it. They tugged along as best they could until the war between the States broke out and that 'war was their salvation, for it led to the adoption ot financial measures, which got them out of the wilderness. The Government had to have money to put and keep an army in the field and feed and take care of it after it was there. To do this it put its printing presses in operation and printed bonds and greenbacks, called the greenbacks money and declared them a legal tender for all debts due by one citizen to another. In debt paying capacity this greenback dol lar, intrinsically not worth the frac tion of a cent, was made by law the equal of coin. There was plenty of of it, but the gold' owners, in their greed for profit, taking advantage of the Government's necessities con spired against the greenback, until a gold dollar would buy from two to two and a half greenback dollars. Of course the price of everything that was paid v for in greenbacks went up in proportion and the farm ers sold their crops at greenback prices and then with a fifty cent greenback paid . a dollar coin debt. Five hundred dollars in greenbacks paid a $1,000 coin debt, and the farmer got for his dollar's worth ot wheat corn, oats, pork or beef from two to two and a half m'greenbacks The first thing he did after it came into his hands was to pay his debts, and he was anxious to do so for few had any faith in the permanent value of the greenback as money, and hence few wanted to hoard it. Until there is more money and " cheap ? " money, as they call it, the Kansas and other farmers m the West must tug along the best they can under their burden of debt and crawl from under it the best way they can, but precious few will be able to do that. MINOR MENTION. President Harrison seems to be an individual who is easily riled, and generally manages to show it when he is. He made everybody in Oak land, California, mad when he pass ed through that town on his tour, by ignoring a reception which they had put themselves to a good deal of trouble and expense to arrange for him, insisting on going directly across the bay to San Francisco. The parade and all that sort of thing came off, but Mr. Harrison wasn't there. On Decoration Day he went to Philadelphia where he was cor dially received, as might be expect in Bro. Wanamaker's town, but he was struck with a paroxyism of big head while there and left in a tan trum. The reason was because the gentleman who got up the big luncheon for him at the Union League Club didn't provide seats for his Private Secretary and for the Marshal of the District of Columbia who accompanied him. He construed this into a personal discourtesy to himself, ate his lunch in grim silence, and then left in a "common hack" with his attendants, had his car hitched to a "common train," and without ceremony lit out for Wash ington, very much to the surprise of some of the denizens of that town and disgust of others when they learned the facts. Within a few days after the Charleston started in pursuit of - the Itata a report came from Paris that agents of the Chilian insurgents were in conference with the Ameri can Minister, and that the result of these conferences was that the Itata would be quietly surrendered, and abide the decision ot the Courts, whatever that might be. This rei -poit-wadjeJLiSSington, but it came in such shape that every body believed it, and there was an end to all interest in the "chase." The truth of the report is now estab lished by the surrender of the vessel at Iquique Thursday. The only thing in the dispatch announcing the surrender that surprises any one is the statement that she turned over 5,000 stand of rifles taken oh board at San Diego. The impres sion was that she had either deliver ed these arms to the Esmeralda, off Acapulco, or transferred them at sea to some other vessel, preparatory to the contemplated surrender. The deputy marshal she carried away is not mentioned, but we suppose he is about somewhere and will turn up in good order none the worse of his impromptu excursion. There are two men - who by this time, doiibtless, wish that thft bafc carat scandal suit, wWch is now entertaining the fashionables of Lon don, had not been instituted . After it is over SirWm. GordoffXumming will not be hankering so much' for a .vindication as he was, for it has al ready been pretty conclusively shown that he did he cheating as charged and pocketed the money, and then tried his level best, after he had been caught to get his friends to lie him oat of it, to all of which they testify in court. It is now said that in his desperation he will say some thing before he gets through which will put his Royal Highness in a worse plight than he has been put by the discreditable revelations thus far made. Baccarat seems to have been one of his weaknesses, and whenever he visited in the country he always went equipped for his favorite game with counters, cards, &c, as any professional gamble might do. The fact of royalty is the only thing in this case which permits a distinction to be drawn be tween the heir apparent and the pro fessional gambler, That was a rattling fight reported as having taken place in the harbor of Valparaiso, Chili, on the night of April 28, between the insurgent cruiser MagallaneS and three Gov ernment vessels; but there seems to be some doubt about it as Admiral McCann makes no mention of it in his dispatches to the Governmtnt. If true, however, it proves the com mander of the Magallanes to be a hustler, to steam into port right un der the guns of the forts, attack three well equipped war ships, use up two of them, cripple the third, run the gauntlet of the forts and make good his esjeape. That fel low is made out of the stuff that heroes are made out of. The Chi lians long ago established the repu tation of being the best fighters in South America, on land and water, and they have lost none of their rep utation in this scrimmage among themselves. Their fighting dash may be due in a great measure, and doubtless is, to the Irish blood that courses through the veins of many of them. STATE TOPICS. In the election of Prof. Geo. T. Winston, for President of the State University to succeed President Battle, the trustees have doubtless done well, much better than if they had gone outside and picked up some man of some political promi nence, but without real qualifications for the position. Mr. Winston is a teacher by profession, a fine scholar, young, vigorous, energetic and enthusiastic, just the kind of a man who is wanted for the position to which he has been called. Those who know him best say that he is not only a thorough scholar, but a man of fine organizing and adminis trative ability, of resource, and with independence enough to have opin ions of his own, and courage enough to act upon them. These are some of the characteristics which com mended him so highly to the board of trustees and gave him the unani mous vote for the Presidency which he received. CURRENT COMMENT. It is fortunate that the na tion has money enough for the White House repairs. Perhaps the Washington paper-hangers are cut ting each other and getting prices down to the reach of the Govern ment. Louisville Courier- Journal, Dem. That alchemic American who has just been jailed in London for trying to make gold out of drugs merely failed to locate himself pro perly. How to make gold out of drugs is the druggist's secret. He should have come over here and, like so many more, made it out of native tin. Phil. Times, Ind. English statesmen proceed on their course in regard J&l Jjhe seal- catchinz Jmestxbn without the rstightesCregard to Canadian interests or opinion. It s a way the English have with colonial tradies. One flash of rebellion would be w orth more to the Canadians in securing consideration from the mother coun try than would a thousand fawning protestations of loyalty. Philadel phia JZecord, Dem. In Germany they put out fires with beer. They put out one that way the other day anyhow. It was a question of extinguishing the flames in an oil refinery or burning the brewery next door. Water is scarce in that locality. So they deluged the place with beer. That's about as sensible a use as was ever made of it. - Undoubtedly beer is not altogether without some value as a moisture. Savannah News, Dem. Bismarck did not attend: Von Moltke's funeral for the simple reason that he wasn't asked. BACCARAT. The Game "Vvnlcli Sir Wo. Gordon Cum- miss Played Crooked.. Alihougbythe game of; baccara, bit bacratj as been introduced in this country in a modified form, it is-com-paratively unknown here. It is played with the ordinary playing cards, and in very simple "in its de tails and ;,freer r- from complications" t han most games at cards. Any number 5f players may participate, and as many packs of cards may be used as necessary, the number being increased to correspond with the number of players. One member of the party is selected to act as banker. He deals out the cards from a box similar to a cigar box, after they have been shuffled. The face cards each count ten, and the others ac cording to the number of their spots. After the bets' have been made the banker deals two cards to each of the players, including himself, but the other players must receive their cards before the banker is served. The aim of the players is to make the numbers 9, 19, 29, or as nearly those as possible, as 8, 18 28. Any player is at liberty either to "stand" or to be "content" with the two cards first dealt, or to call for more at the risk of exceeding 29, when his stake is forfeited to the dealer. If, after the first distribution of two cards to each, any player has a "nat ural" that is, a sum making 9, or next in value, 19 he declares it wins and the banker pays all who hold superior hands to his own, and claims from those holding inferior hands. The players stake their money separately, there being, in fact, as many separate games in progress as there are players, and the spectators may wager their money on any of them, all ofgwhich must be accepted by the banker in charge. The great difficulty to an ordinar ily prudent baccarat player is to know when to' leave off. Even the strongest-minded can scarcely trust their judgment in this respect, so it may be readily imagined what sort of chance any vacilating player has of being successful at the game. There are certain matters in con nection with the Tranby Croft bacca rat affair that are worth considering. Sir. William is alleged to have re sorted to a form of cheating known as "poussette" that is, adding to the stake when the banker has lost and decreasing it when he has won. Now, had the table been better con ducted, it would have been impossi ble for this to have occurred. Prior to the banker making a start he states the amount in the bank for example, 50. Any one sit ting down at the table has the right to call the whole of the bank, select ing the left or the right on which to pick up the cards. If the bank is not called, then the banker proceeds to deal to 25 a side, or as much of it as may be "marked" or called the former meaning that the money is placed on the table: the latter, that the banker has accepted the bet without the money being staked. The latter course, however, is quite the exception, the ready coin being invariably planked Previous to the banker dealing the cards it is the duty of two croupiers, one on the right and the other on the left, to count up the stakes deposited on either side, and then make up the bank. Thus the banker knows to the smallest coin the exact amount of his liabilities. Had the game been properly played at Tranby Croft no one attempting the "poussette" would have stood an earthly chance of either increasing or decreasing his stake. TAKE OUT A SILVER COIN. Give it a Squint or Two and Then Head This. What is the "milling" on a dollar or other coin? Probably not one person in 500 would answer this simple question correctly. There is a- popular belief that the corruga tions on the rim of a dollar are the milling. A San Francisco Chronicle reporter thought so, too, until the point happened to arise in a conver sation with C. M. Grorham, coiner at the Mint in that city. Mr. Gorham went into the coining-room and picked up a "blank," a round piece of plain silver cut out of a silver bar. It had gone through one machine, which had slightly rounded the edges. The blank was dropped in a mill ing machine, and when it came out a second or two later the rim was flat and the edges of the rim were raised a little above the level of the sides. The verb "milling" is this raising of the rim of a blank piece of money, and the noun "nulling" is this plain raised rim without reference to any corrugations anywhere. The pur pose of the milling is to protect,JHxe surface .jhG'sidestfosi wear.' The milled blank was dropped into a stamping machine, from which it dropped a perfect dollar. While in the machine the piece dropped into a corrugated collar, and the piece, expanding under great pressure, the rim was forced into the corrugations and became similarly corrugated. These parallel notches or corruga tionf, generally called the milling, constitute the "reeding." Gurrranteed Cure for La Grippe.

The Russian Government has presented gold medals to Prince George of Greece and. his suite in honor of the courage they displayed in the defense of the czarowitz from a Japanese assassin. Corporal Tanner is feeling quite chipper over troubles in the Pen sion Office, and whenever he comes across a portrait of Gen. Raum he shakes his fist at it and says, "You're another." Lady Pauncefote, wife of the British Minister, is fond of walking and can get around with a neatness and celerity which makes her independent of street cars and of little trouble to her own coachman. Mr. Gladstone is strongly in favor of admitting women to the board of county councillors, and his answer to the deputation proposing the bill was extremely lucid and straightforward. He had gathered that in county council work there was a field for women's en ergies and a real want for. them to sup ply, and he heartily endorsed the bill. Jane Stevens, whose pictures are on exhibition at the Royal Institute of Painters, spent the best years of her life as a clerk in one of the departments at Washington, and now, without a les son in drawing, without assistance or encouragement from artists, her natural genius, expressing ideas in bold, origi nal and unconventional work, has won international honor. POLITICAL POINTS. The fact that 2,000 negroes have been imported to take the places of white men in the Iowa mines indi cates that Iowa Republicans have in augurated the Presidential campaign of 1892. Chicago Mail, Dem. The promoters of the Peoples' Party claim that they will poll 200,000 votes in Ohio. They will do nothing of the kind, but they may poll enough to leave McKinley high and dry on the shores of defeat. Knoxville Tribune, Dem. Out of the swarm of contradic tory reports and rumors concerning the Republican candidates of 1892, one very important fact is clearly demon strated. Mr. Blaine is greatly broken in health, and it is possible that he will not go backto Washington again in act ive charge oTthe State Department. It is undoubtedly Mr. Blaine's ambition to manage this administration's foreign policy up to the end. He" may be able to do this, but as a presidential candi date he is out of consideration. A con firmed hypochondriac, and discouraged regarding his own health, neither he nor his physicians would consent to such a hazard of his life. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Ind.

During the summer of 1889 mv eighteen- mon'hs' old infant was so afflicted with eruptions that oidi nary domestic remedies failed to give any relief. On his hips would often appear the seeming track of n little wire-like woim, and on other parts of his body had sores cyme aDd remained till I procured the Cun CURA Remedies. For some time I used the soap and salve without a blood medicine, but they did not do so well as wffen all were used together. It has cow been nearly a years nee the eruption was healed, and I very much feared it would return with the warm weather of this year, but the summer is passed and not one sore has appeared on him. Mrs. A. M. WALKER, Carsonville, Ga. Sore from Waist Down. I had three of the best physicians in Paducah, and they di l me no good. I used your Cutici ka Hemi: dies, and they have cured me sound and well. 1 was sore from my waist down with eczema. They havc cured me with no sign of return. I owe my life to Cuticura, for without a doubt, I would have been in my grave, bad it cot been for your remedies. A low me to return my sincerest thanks. W H. QUALLS, Paducah, Ky. Cuticura Eemedies. If the thousands of little babies who have been cured of agonizing, itching, burniog, bleeding, scaly, and blotchy skin and scalp diseases could write, what a host of letters would be received by the proprietors of the Cuticura Remedies. Few can apprecatc the agony these little ones suffer, and when the?e great remedies relieve in a single application th- most dis tressing eczemas and itching and burning skin diseases, acd point to a speedy and permanent cure, it is p si tively inbuma-i not to use them without- a moment's delay.
