WHERE RELIEF MUST COME
" - FROM.
The people who expected such
legislation from the last Congress
as would remove the business de
pression, give relief and bring pros
perity to the country were very
much disappointed," and those who
look to the next Congress to do it
will be quite as much so. We have
crnne as far as we can ea in the mat
ter of tariff reform, from whtdh the
country has derived some benefit
and will derive more, and for this it
is indebted to the Democratic party,
but in the next great question in
which the American people are in
terested the finances they need
expect no material change for some
. years to come, for the simple reason
that as the parties are now consti
tuted j.nd as they now are and will
be represented in the national legis
lature for some years to come, the
differences on that question are too
radical to admit of a half way ground
. upon which they might come to-
O
The next House of Representa
tives will be Republican by a ma
jority which may be troublesome to
the Republicans on account of its
number. Against this Republican
. House will be a Senate in which the
majority will be anti-Republican and
can defeat any legislation proposed
by, the House, which makes the pros
pective situation as far as the two
Houses of Congress are concerned,
identical with that of the past Con
gress, with the exception that a Re
publican majority takes the place of
the Democratic majority in the
House. Besides this there is a Presi
dent at the other end of the avenue
who is not likely to be in accord with
either the House or Senate on this
question, so that there is little prob
v ability of any financial legislation for
two years an y way.
To affect any material change in
the financial policy a revolution in
politics will be necessary and such a
revolution as it would be entirely un
reasonable to expect any time in the
near future, much less at the end of
two years, for there is no probability
of the Republicans recovering pos
session of. the Senate for some
years even if they should elect the
next President and hold possession
of the House for two or more terms.
But if they were to elect the Presi-
dent and had a House and Senate in
accord with him in the financial
policy it would remain substantially
as it is, for the present policy is of
their invention and they are proud
of it.
There is but one solution of the
problem that we can see, under the
conditions which prevail now and
will continue to prevail while a few
Eastern States can outvote in Con
gress four times their number of
Western States, and that is an inter
national monetary . congress to con
sider and devise a plan for the re
storation of silver as a money metal
buv there is little probability of any
agreement being reached there, if
such a congress should be called.
The day will come when necessity
win torce a change in the present
financial system, and the countrv
will recognize that' necessity; when
tne masses of the p:ople in the sec-
tions now dominated by the money
power will understand the issues in
volved better than they do nciw, and
Lassert their, independence of the
money power,' but that dayj is too
far off to give much comfort to the
men who are. now struggling for a
change in the financial methods
which have enabled a handful of
men to control our financial policies
and practically hold the keys to the
United States Treasury.
The masses of the people, who
seek relief, may as well for the pres
. ent quit looking to Washington for
it, and turn their attention to better
ing their condition regardless of
what Congress may or may not do,
and to do this reform must begin at
home, and methods adopted by
mini iitiirntt itnirtiit rru
which the people can live and add to
the means of living, whether more
silver dollars or more 'paper dollars
be issued from the Federal center or
not While this applies to -the
country at large, We have reference
here more especially to the South, in
whose advancement and prosperity
we take the most interest.
By proper methods and wise co
operation we cannot only revolu
tionize our system of agriculture,
and. in a few years make our farmers
the most prosperous and independent
in this country, but we can multiply
our manufactories so as to not only
give work to thousands of cur peo
ple in paying employments, and save
large sums of money that are annu
ally paid to manufacturers of other
States for numerous things that we
use, but bring in large amounts to
place to our credit. With good
methods on the farm to produce all
that the farmer needs, and leave him
a surplus to sell the drain would be
stopped that goes out to buy the
many thousands of dollars worth of
food stuffs heretofore impoi ted from
other sections, and with the co
operation of people in the country
and town in the establishment of
manufactories such as this section
furnishes an abundance of the raw
material for, we would enter upon a
career which would bring us pros
perity, independence and wealth in
spite of the disagreements or agree
ments of statesmen on financial or
other questions. As we can t make
the financial policy to suit us we
should do the next best thing, and
perhaps a better thing in the end,
cease worryingover it, and rely upon
ourselves, our own energy ,and our
own good judgment to get out of
the mire and upon the solid ground.
MINOR MENTION.
Fred. Douglass, in whose memory
the combiners in the North Carolina
Legislature adjourned, not only re
pudiated his own race by taking to
wife a white woman , but went back
on his own blood, the children of his
first wife, by leaving the bulk' of his
estate to his white wife who seems
to have married him for the property
he had, and who seems also, judging
-from the statements of Douglass'
sons, to have availed herself of her
opportunities to get possession of it.
We take it from these reports that
the sons felt that their father was be
ing victimized by a shrewd woman,
whose purpose was gain, for which
she was willing to -sell herself and
form an unnatural alliance which
only a woman lost to all sense of
self respect, or respect for public
opinion would have consented to, and
hence the estrangement, the family
jars, and the loathing with which
they looked upon her, and the pity
if not contempt they must have
had for the father who ignored his
own race and turned from his own
children to enjoy the society of this
scheming woman. This is the man
that is held up to admiration as the
typical representative of the negro
race, to be landed and posthumously
idolized, and this is the man to whom
the fusion members of. the North
Carolina Legislature paid the high
est honor they could. When the
skeleton is dragged from the closet
perhaps they will have a better con
ception of the mould of the idol they
worshipped. '
The decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court in the income tax cases before
it will be awaited with much interest
not only by those who may be sub
ject to the tax and are therefore per
sonally interested, but of the coun
try at large, for-if it should be de
cided that the tax cannot stand then
something else becomes necessary to
supply the revenue expected from
that source, which has been figured
upon in making up the Treasury es
timates. Without this other taxa
tion will be necessary and a deficit
inevitable which will necessitate the
issuing of more bonds to meet the
expenses of the Government. The
income tax law passed during the
war was declared constitutional
by the Supreme Court three years
after the war, and if it was constitu
tional then there is no apparent good
reason why it should not be now. If
the court decides that it is consti
tutional it is pretty safe to say that
the tax will stick for years for there
is no party outside of a few of the
Eastern States, upon which it will fall
the heaviest, which would have the
courage to oppose it. The people
are in favor of it for they feel that
while wealth has had so much to do
with shaping the policies and fram
ing the legislation of ihe country, it
has not borne its fairj proportion of
tVia avnono f . ,
v.p.uoc ui supporting ine jOV
ernment. If it alone were made an
issue before the people the party
which favored It would carry the
country by an overwhelming ma
jority. The opponents of the law
know this and that's why they have
gone into the courts with the hope of
killing it.
' The movement for diversified
farming is not confined to anv par
ticular section of the South,- for its
necessity is beginning to be appreci
ated in all sections. The remarkable
thing about it is that it should be
necessary to say anything to induce
our farmers to abandon the one-crop
delusion and farm right. Here is an
object lesson, in figures, which we
clip from the New Orleans States,
which shows with an emphasis that
no language could express the follv
of raising cotton to buy the food
staffs that ought to be raised at
home. It says:
"The Farmerville Gazette, in noting:
the receipt of 100.000 bales of cotton at
Shreveport this season, asks bow many
thousands of dollars worth of Western
bacon, corn and oats the merchants of
that city wuTsupply to the farmers of the
adjacent country. -
In response, the Caucasian snows from
a report prepared by the Secretary of the
Shreveport Boird of Trade, that the re
ceipts lor one year in car lots.of roce
ries, produce, etc., were. 443 cars of corn,
403 ot hog product. S94 of oats, 40 of
horses and mules. 120 ot bran. 86,401
barrels flour and 65.250 barrels meal, and
adds: Tbe aggregate amount paid for
these supplies equals the yield of the
cotton crop.' "
If this were an exceptional case it
would be a small matter, but it is
not. There are hundreds of towns
in the South where the comparative
showing would be about the same,
that is that it takes all the cotton
raised to pay for the foodstuffs im
ported. If the aggregate amount
paid by the ' Southern States were
summed up it would be amazing. It
is less now in some States than for
merly, and it is to be hoped that
will continue to grow less in all.

CURRENT COMMENT
- The course of Congress,
which has money enough for gratui
ties for its employes but not suffi
cient to hire a sufficient force of sea
men to man the new cruisers, has ap
parently been modeled upon the
plan ot the high-riding individual
who declared that he cared nothing
about the necessaries of life as long
as he could have the luxuries.
Philadelphia Record, Dent.
Congress having adjourned
the country will breathe more freely.
It is to be hoped that the passage of
the appropriation bills will avert
any necessity for an extra session.
The people have had a surfeit of
Congressional verbosity and preten
tious inaction. If the new Congress
gave promise of promptly and cor
rectly dealing with the currency and
bond questions that would be a
strong argument for an extra session,
but it does nit so promise. The rest
cure seems to be the best prescrip
tion which Uncle Sam can find in
his pharmacopeia at present. Phil.

INFLUENCE OF THE
INNER LIFE ON
THE EXTERNAL WORLD.
How an Individual or s Scans May Bare
sn Entirely Different Appearance to Two
Persona Happiness and Sorrow blade by
Ourselves. )
There have been philosophers who de
clared that the earth on which we stand
and the stars on which we gaze have no
real existence, bnt are merely the out
comes of our inner selves. Perhaps the
best answer to this is that the mind it-,
self, at least that of most people, refuses
to receive the idea. The difference be
tween the me and the not me is too
sharply defined in the inner conscious
ness to permit Bishop Berkeley's notion
r . i - . . i
irom taxing rooc wiinw us.
Yet we cannot afford to overlook the
germ of truth which tins' idea contains.
Though not literally the creation of our
thought, the outer world is to each one
of ns largely that which we make it.
Nature herself, in all her varied scenes,
whatever she may be in reality, shows
herself to ns in the ! light which we
throw upon her. One; man looks at a
landscape and sees land and water, grass
and trees, hills and plains, and nothing
mora Another, a fanner, sees the grow
ing crops, the fallow land, the noxious
weeds, the prospect for future tillage
and the obstacles to be overcome. An
other, with a painter' eye, sees every
variety of form and color, proportion and
perspective, harmony and contrast,
beauty and sublimity, j To the melan
choly man all is tinctured with gloom
a leaden pall covers! even the gayest
scenes while to the joyous everything
seems bright and glad, and even the
dreariest of November days only sug
gests the radiant sunlight that is sure
later on to struggle through the clouds.
So with the sights of a city. For each
of us as they take on the aspect of onr
ewn mental condition.) How differently
they impress the citizen who has spent
his life among them from the foreigner
who views them for the first time I What
a different message the stately and mag
nificent buildings bear to the absorbed
man of business and j to the architect
who . appreciates everV detail of their
construction 1 !
If there is so wide a divergence in the
aspect which inanimate things have for
ns, the difference is still greater in the
way we regard the men and women by
whom we are surrounded. - Character is
a complex thing, difficult to detect, im
possible to fathom, yt we presumptu
ously venture to gauge and pronounce
upon it with the smallest modicum of
knowledge. It is curious to notice how
differently the same person will impress
various individuals. His friend will per
haps see no fault in him, his enemy no
virtue. One will put faith in him; an
other will suspect his every action. One
will deem him cold hearted; another
will think him affectionate and kind,
it must be that their own personalities
are reflected in him, and that to a cer
tain extent he does thus become for a
time, while under their influence, what
they suppose him to be always. It is
certainly true that the good and gentle
find far more goodness and gentleness
in the world than those who are defi
cient in such qualities. It is the selfish
man who is the keenest to detect selfish
ness in others; it is the overbearing who
complain most of the arrogance and
pride with which they are met, and the
unjust who murmur at the injustice
they receive. On the other hand, the
loving and sympathetic discover love
and sympathy everywhere; the noble
and true bring to light nobility and
truth which might otherwise be hidden.
Thus to a large extent we develop the
character of those we meet Byasnbtle
magnetism we draw like to like and
evolve out of other personalities the
characteristics of onr own.
Even - the outward circumstances of
life are largely what we ourselves make
them. We are accustomed to consider
prosperity a blessing and adversity a
curse, but quite frequently they change
places. It is the spirit in which they are
received that determines their result
The rich and self indulgent man, sur
rounded by luxury and opportunity, may
be far less happy than his poorer neigh
bor who brings industry, fidelity and
generosity into constant exercise. The
same privileges that raise one young
man to honor and usefulness are a snare
and temptation to another. The same
recreation that invigorates one enfeebles
another. The same sorrow that softens
one and leads him out of self to works
of kindness and helpfulness prostrates
another and renders him valueless. It
is tnat whicn is within a man tnat so
acts upon the externals of life as to de
cide their results to him, and through
him to others.
: If this be so, then happiness or wretch
edness is largely in our power, and
most of our complaints only bear wit
ness to our own remissness. We may
rightly recognize the futility of strng
gling against outward, events which we
cannot control, but we cam always bring
to bear noon them such a enirit and in
finance as shall turn evil ilito good and
bitter into sweet. Philadelphia Ledger.
Metatarsals; la.
Metatarsalgia, or fourth toe disease,
has been the subject of much scientific
discussion. Many patients have been
operated on, the operation consisting of
the removal of a portion of the bone of
the toe, which had become highly in-
named. A new form ol treatment is
thatof shaping the shoe that the weight
will not come directly upon the ball of
the foot, but sliitbr back of the ball,
and this is secured by making the ankle
and instep close fitting and the toe and
ball very broad and easy. One physician
advises that a depression be made in
the sole of the shoe just beneath the
fourth toe, so that there shall bono
pressure from any direction. Th is works
well in some cases, but in others the
Burgical remedy is the only successful
one. New York Ledger.
Idol Worship.
I have never" had the opportunity of
examining the idol worshiping mind of
a savage, bnt it seems possible that the
immutability of aspect of his little

it. "Rhoda Fleming," George Mere

STOW SliVI "HEAD.
AN INDIAN DUEL AT THE STANDING
: ROCK AGENCY.
It Grew Out of a Quarrel Over a Quarter
of Beef Crooked Week Made a Bluff and
Was Called Down Bifles at Thirty Yards
and Fight to a Finish.
"A duel which I witnessed in 1876 at
Standing Rock agency, Dakota," said
an old scout, "between Scout Shave
Head and Chief Crooked Neck of the
Hunkpapa Sioux was a performance that
would have called for applause from the
most critical audience that ever wit
nessed a Spanish bull fight Shave Head,
it will be remembered, was one of the
Indian police who was killed while at
tempting the arrest of Sitting Bull in
the fall of 1890. In 1876 I was inter-
Dreter and chiof of scouts at Fort Yates,
near Standing kock agency, wucre a
had 30 Sioux Indian scouts under my
command, who were selected from the
friendly bands and quartered at the
military post with their families. The
military authorities issued rations only
to the scouts, while their families drew
from the Indian agent The beef was
slaughtered on the east bank of the
river, the Indians crossing in boats.
"I usually accompanied the scouts
when they went for their beef. About
150 Texas steers were killed every two
weeks. These were parceled out to the
several bands, beginning with the lar
ger, who would receive 12 or 15 head as
their share, the next 10 or 12, and so on
to the smaller bands, who would get
two ox three, according to their num
ber. Lastly, single families, not mem
bers of bands, were given beef by them
selves, one steer to four families, or a
quarter to each. "The scouts, half breeds
and squaw men were among this num
ber. The trouble which terminated in
the duel between Shave Head and
Crooked Neck began over the issue of
beef.
"Shave Head, Crooked Neck, Charley
Papuan, a half breed, and the Widow
McCarty, a squaw who had oeen mar
ried to a white man, were given a quar
ter each in the last beef issued. Shave
Head. Pappan and the widow immedi
ately began skinning -the beef, when
Crooked Neck approached the scout, and
placing his hand on his shoulder pushed
him violently aside, saying: ioa De-
lonsr to the soldiers. You have no right
here. Go to the fort for your beef. '
"I stood not more than 50 feet away.
Shave Head cast one look of defiance at
his assailant and then came to me and
said, nointins at Crooked Neck: 'That
man has driven me away from my beef.
If I was not under your command, I
would know what to do, but now 1
await your orders. If you leave me free
to act, he is not man enough to keep me
away from my beef. ' .
"I answered that since the agent had
given him a quarter of that beef it was
therefore his, and he had a perfect right
to take it
"'Then, 'said he, 'tell that man to
keen awav from me. ' I answered that
Crooked Neck did not belong to my
company, and I had no authority over
him.
" 'Very well, ' said the scout. 'I shall
take my beef, ' and rejoining the others
he again offered to assist in dressing the
beef, only to be again thrust away by
Crooked Neck. This time he gave utter
ance to that savage growl which, once
heard, can never- be f orgotten, and
climbing out of the slaughter pen on
the north side, and taking his rifle from
his wife, he turned to the left coming
out on that side of the corral facing the
river. Crooked Neck, seizing his rifle,
went out of the corral on the south side,
and turning to the right the two com
batants met face to face on the west
side of the corral. Between them was
the agency wagon, which was backed
up to the fence to receive the beef. The
first shot was fired by Chief Crooked
Neck over the rear end of the wagon.
The driver, supposing that he was the
object of attack, frantically whipped up
his mules, leaving a clear field between
the two enraged warriors, who were not
more than ten yards apart Talk about
an TnrHan war dance I Here was execut
ed a dance that surpassed' anything of
the kind I ever saw. Shave Head was
the more agile of the two, jumping
from side to side, rearing high in the
air and again bending low down to the
ground, all the time keeping his eye
fixed on his foe and his gun ready
for use. The corral had been surround
ed by not less than 1,000 Indians, men,
women and children, but when the fir
ing began they had surged to one side,
leaving the space in the rear of each
combatant clear.
"The second shot was again fired by
Crooked Neck, but he again missed his
mark, and during the instant required
by him to throw another cartridge into
his piece Shave Head, who was still as
a statue, took aim and fired. The ball
struck Crooked Neck in the hip, which
crippled him so that he had but one leg
to dance on. As soon as Shave Head
fired he resumed his dancing, keeping it
up until his antagonist fired again, when
