Friday Morning, May 10, 1895 " WILD-CAT " HONEY. In a paragraph a few days ago the New York Advertiser referring to President Cleveland's position on the silver question, which it commended, . . r. t . 1 toos occasion 10 say ;inar. ne was very careful not to define his posi tion on "wild-cat" money, which was an intimation that Mr. Cleveland is in favor of State banks, but didn't care to say so at this stage of the proceedings. The object in this was i . - : ' : .l.l i;t- io create me impression mat wuue Mr. Cleveland may be sound on the silver question, he is disposed to fa vor what the money-kings of the East fear more than they do the free coinage of silver, for if State banks were established to-day there would be practically anend to the free sil ver agitation and with it an end also to the power of these money kings to control the volume of the currency as they now do and have been doing for years. The. Advertiser assumes, and per haps correctly, that because Mr. Cleveland favored the bank plan formulated by Secretary Carlisle and presented to the 53rd Congress, which conditionally provided for the repeal of the State bank tax, he is in favor of it yet' He was doubtless in favor of the Carlisle plan, for it he had not been it would in all proba bility not have been presented to Coqgress, and in favoring it he showed a sagacity which in the light of present conditions does credit to his power to grasp the future. There may have been some defects in that plan, but as a whole it was a good one, and if it had been accepted in the shape proposed, or amended as suggested in some of its features, leaving the State bank provision in, it would have made such an addi tion to the volume of the currency as to have forstalled the agitation of the silver question which is cow cre ating dissension in the Democratic party, and splitting it into contend ing factions which will carry their contentions intoihe- National Con vention aad possibly into the popu lar arena after the Convention has acted. With a few exceptions State banks would have met the popular demand . r . i tui au uiuicdsc ui iuc currency in me States where the silver agitation has its life and its strength and it would also have provided a way to utilize the product of our silver mines as a basis of circulation and as a reserve fund to protect the notes in circula tion, which could Be made redeem able in "coin," and would answer all the purposes ofja circulating medium for all States in which the banks were located. That's what the organs and the champions of the one-standard yel low money call "wild cat" money, although we had it in this country for three-quarters of a century, and with which the country made marvel lous strides in progress. This "wild cat" money was so good and so well thought of by the people that (as the Philadelphia Record remarked several days ago) it took an act of Congress, and an arbitrary act, too, to destroy the system and drive its notes out of circulation. If the Democratic majority in the 53d Congress had not been stupidly regardless of the prospective em barrassments which the Democratic party would have to face if the finan cial question were left to be a sub ject of contention they would have directed their best energies to the solution of .that problem and solidly supported the repeal of the State bank tax as one of the most direct and effective agencies in its solution. They didn't do it; they couldn't see it; they spent the time In wrangling that ought to have been spent in earnest consultation and the result is there is precipi tated upon the party a question which may prove its disintegration, if cool and wise counsels do not pre vail. . We do not belong to the despon , dent order of mortals, but candor compels us to 'say that the outlook for the Democratic party, as it now presents itself, is not bright enough to arouse much enthusiasm. Of course we do not know wnat may happen in the turn of fortune's wheel, and possibly there may be something in store for us better than we can see now, but surveying the field as we do, we believe as earn estly as we believe anything that the only hope of the Democratic party is in a compromise . that will couple silver and State banks, recognize the former and. provide for the latter by removing the only obstacle to their establishment, the State bank tax, to which the party was pledged con structively if not absolutely in the platform of 1892. We believe that With limited coinage and State banks, unequivocally pledged, the contending factions may be brought together, that the people will rally under the old banner, and that for every uncompromising gold stand ard vote we lose we will gain two from the ranks of the Republican party, which will straddle on the financial question as usual. MINOR MENTION. The decisions rendered by Judges Goff and Simonton at Columbia, S. C, Wednesday, on the Dispensary law and the registration law are not altogether a surprise. In view of the fact that decisions had been rendered in other States denying the right of the State to seize and con fiscate packages for private use im ported from other States gave ground for the belief, that a similar decision would be rendered in the case of South Carolina, and that is substan; tially what has been done, and the doing of it has practically nulli fied the dispensary law, unless the Supreme Court should re verse the decision of the lower court, which is not likely. The State forestalls itself in put ting in the plea that such seizures are justified on the ground of preserving the public health, morals, &c, by the fact that it dispenses for a considera tion the very articles the use of which t pronounces injurious and demoral izing, so that the only apparent ground left for such seizure is that the importation of .such spirits inter feres with the sales by the State, so that it becomes not a matter of moral?, but a matter of dollars and cents, in which the State uses its po lice power to strangle competition, and give it a monopoly of what it itself brands as a demoralizing busi ness. If the people of South Caro lina who favored the law, see ing that it must necessarily become to a great extent, if not absolutely ineffective, did the sensi ble thing they would repeal it ind stop this harassing contention over a law which can never be enforced without creating much friction. The decision on the registration law, how ever, is of much , more serious im port, for if that be sustained there is no telling when the Federal power may not be invoked to set aside the election laws of any Southern State. The men who moved for these pro ceedings may congratulate them selves that they have so far suceeded but if sustained by the final decree, it will prove a victory for which the State will pay very dearly. It is not the cause of a faction that is involved in the decision, but the sovereignty of the State. Professor McLaughlin, of Chi cago, is devoting much of his time to combatting what he calls the fal lacies of the free silver men. He is a man of much more than average ability and maintains his side of the question with vigor and an array of facts and figures which show that he has given much research and study to the financial question. He can make a strong argument and he can also make a weak one, a sample of which is being widely published by the anti-silver papers. It is con sidered by them a settler to the free silver men who contend that silver was demonetized by the act of 1873, when Congress decided to stop the coinage of silver dollars. The Pro fessor calls attention to the fact that the coinage of the gold dollar was stopped in 1890 and asks if the drop ping of the gold dollar from the list of United States coins then demonetized gold. In the way of an argument coming from a man of recognized ability is about as small as the gold dollar was. There were two entirely different reasons for the dropping of the gold dollar and the silver dollar from the list of coins, which the Professor takes good care not to give. The gold dollar was dropped for the same reason that the three cent silver piece was. Namely, because it was so small as to be practically useless for circulation and too apt to be lost. It was not a blow at gold nor in tended to limit the coinage of gold, while the dropping of the silver dol lar was a blow direct at sliver and was intended to limit the coinage of silver, and it operated in the way of demonetizing silver because sub sidiary silver was a legal tender for only small debts.' It the Professor wished to be candid and honest he should have stated his case fairly, and not ignored the fact which was essential to elevate his assertion to the dignity of an argument.

There is a heap of good land In the great Northwestern State, and a remnant of bad Indians occu py it. It always happens that bad Indians occupy good lands, and it is a perpetual source of irritation to their white neighbors. Phil. Record, Dem. British gold is considered pretty good money by our gold stand ard worshippers, but how many of the latter ever saw a crown, or a pound, or a guinea ? ' And yet they see Englishmen frequently. When an Englishman comes to America, or goes anywhere else out of England he buys exchange on. the country he visits, and so do our people when America, whether we have the. gold standard, the sliver standard or the double standard.

SPIRITS TjmPENTINE. Laurinburg Exchange: Mr. N. S. Hurley, a large melon grower, brought to us in a bottle Monday a sample of the bug that is threatening to ruin the crop this year. The bug resembles very much what is known as the lady bug, except that it is not near so large in size. Their mischief is similar to that of the potato bug stripping the vines of their leaves and thus forever destroying them. Rockingham Rochet: Mrs. S. W. Steele came across quite a curiosity in the egg line a few days ago. An egg of the ordinary size was found in the yard and handed to her. She broke it and within the outer shell was another egg which had only a soft shell. This she broke and found still another egg with a hard shell. Each of the eggs were per fect except that the second one did not have a hard shell upon it. Goldsboro Headlight: Monday morning, about 8 o'clock, while the "Sho fly" train on the Wilmington and Weldon railroad was running into Fai son, Mr. John Cook, a resident there, saw some of his hogs on the track, and in his attempt to drive them off stum bled and fell. The engineer saw his peril and did all he could to stop the tram, bat not before the unfortunate man was run over and his body literally cut in two. He was about 40 years old, and leaves a family. Rocky Mount Phcenix: G. W. W.-.rr.ack.who lived at the Rocky Mount Mills, drank a bottle of laudanum Friday last, from the effects of which it is im possible to resuscitate him. He had been drinking several days it is stated and could not sleep. He came here from Wilson. We are informed of two little (?) girls at Oriental.Pamlico county, which show remarkable weight for their ages. One is Jennie Aldridge, daughter of Mr. John Aldridge. She is twelve years of age and weighs one hundred and forty eight pounds. The other one is Katie Tunnell, the daughter of Mr. John Tunnell. Her growth is more remarkable still, she is nine years old and weighs one hundred and forty four pounds. Both the child ren, as may well be supposed are strong and healthy. The parents of the children aie them selves of average size and so are their other children. Hon. Tom Reed is in favor of re moving the chairs from the House of Representatives and putting stools in their place. Stools would suit many of them, stools of repentance.

"ear Splitting jargon." Hnatoiana Say It Has an Affinity With the Notes of Birds No Alphabet and No Parts of Speech Some Amusing Exam ples of Chinese Talk. - Th superficial bbserver often refers to h Chinese spoken speech as an "ear graft&ng "jargon" and to the "written H$c!pf as "Merorfyphics." Frequent vis it6s to any 'Cliese quarter," notably a large "ChinatownH like that of Ios Angeles, will soon become eo familiar with this so called jargon as to note that it Is far more musical than the English speech. Musicians are anthority for the statement that the Chinese language has more affinity (when spoken) with the notes of birds than with the tones of any other jangnage. This is perhaps because the Chinese, having no alphabet, must have many tone combinations to give the various expressions and meanings to the thousands of characters. Saving no alphabet, the Chinese lan guage his more symbols than ail of the alphabets in the universe combined, and there are more tone combinations for the expression of thoJe symbols than in all other tongues. Each tone,is attached to a character, and one character is made to jnean several different things, accord ing to the tone used. In Chinese the tone gives the meaning. A word spoken with a falling inflection means one thing, and quite another when spoken with a rising inflection. We often hear a Chinamanf as he walks along the street taiHpsr with his companion, utter a word ina falling inflection which sounds like n-go. This means "I." He is talking of himself perhaps saying how great he things himself to be. But if he drawls ouB the sound long and even he is call ink soihe hoodlum a "goose." He gives the,alling inflection to the first syllable, and the rising inflection to the last, and in a rather musical voice. This would be a difficult feat for an American. Nomatter in what mood he may be? he may not and perhaps cannot change $he accent. The voice may be louder or in a jninor key, but the tones are as inflexi ble as written words and must be so used, orf" the exact meaning is lost. All the expressions of human passions laugh ter ,or sorrow must be expressed by the same inflexible words and precise ac cents. There are only five tones in the Chinese voice, but as every word has all of its syllables accented there are 25 per mutations, and these are almost always in constant use, even in ordinary conver sation. A question may be asked with or without a rising inflection, according to the word used. Chinese adjectives are nouns. For "many thanks" it is "thank thank." A "great man" is "greatness man." Some times a noun is formed of a noun and a verb, as ' 'barber," whom they call "shave head teacher." The verbs have neither moods nor tenses, and when your laun dryman wishes to tell you that "I have washed"- he says, "I pass over wash." Their adverbs are mostly formed by join ing together nouns and verbs, as "finish day" for "yesterdajv" To cook is to "eat rice." Every noun is plural and includes all there is of that article, unless it is limited by the expression "one piece," as "one piece house." Instead of "wife and children" they express "familyand wife." The word woman means "father man." If repeated, it signifies "scolding." The noun always remains in the same shape, and the verb has but one form instead of the many known to the English lan guage. The Chinese language has no de clensions, subjugations, moods, tenses, prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, first, second and third persons, no singular and plural, and no gender except by the addition of a few participles in rare in stances. It is evidently simple and easy to learn, one of the simplest and most curious things about it being, as above stated, that every noun, unless qualified otherwise, is plural. There are about 60,000 characters used in the Chinese language proper, but th$ average Chinaman no more learns all of those characters than the everyday American learns the 100,000 words in the English language. The Chinaman, how ever, learns on the average more than does an American in a similar position in life. A Chinaman who can neither read nor write is a rarity. Chinese is not a monosyllabic language, as many suppose, and it is impossible to utter in Chinese any but the shortest sentences in monosyllables. In writing the Chinaman makes one complicated but integral character for each word, but that word may be prop erly spoken in two, three or four sylla bles. His syllables are divided by no longer intervals than are his words, and that is what makes his language sound to a foreigner like a singsong jargon. We do not know whether he is telling a story or attempting a song. The Chinese perhaps think the same thing of an Amer ican, who bites off his words and swal lows them or telescopes one into another. Business men in this city thrown in contact with Chinese merchants who speak pure Chinese say that it is not diffi cult to learn. Instead of 26 letters, not including the useless &, the Chinese have 500 or 600 syllables, and these are combined into various forms to make the 60.000 words in their "dictionary." These syllables vary in meaning according to the tone in which they are spoken or the strokes used in writing them. Los An geles Cor. New York Post. Starvation Among the Kicli. Death by starvation is a thing not re stricted to periods of business depression npr to the poor. Perhaps there are more ill nourished people in proportion among the rich than among the poor. The number of persons that seek relief from threatened starvation in the exclusive tnilk diet is constantly on the increase, but it Is a remedy almost of necessity confined to those who have sufficient control over their own doings to take a meal every hour and a half, a thing hardly consistent with earning a living at manual labor. Philadelphia Press. Lindicrons Rage. Possibly as ludicrous a thing as ever happened was the experience of my friend, Professor Roswell Park of Buf falo. A man's life had been saved by the beautiful surgical skill of a success ful laryngotomy. - When health had been restored, my friend proposed to his pa tient the insertion of an artificial larynx, so that vowel tones, or true voice, could be added to the whisper that necessarily resulted from the absenoe of the vocal ohords. This apparently highly desir able thing was done, but the tone, of course, was uniform. There was no change of pitch posisble to the mechan ical larynx, and expression, modulation, timbre everything that makes voioei pleasant and more than useful was ab sent The man could speak, convey ideas perfectly, but when he tried tp give emphasis, nuances, shadings, di verse meanings and especially when he tried to express emotion, anger or resent ment there were only the monotonous: drone and squeak of the intolerable ma chine. Nothing could control the oon vulsive laughter of the surgeon and as sistants. The poor, man's indignationt sought outlet in speech, but iihe very words of wrath were turned to outra geous absurdity by the infernal device. In a spasm of ebullient rage he tore th mechanism on of his throat, cursed the man who had saved his life and isr probably running and hoarsely whisper ing invectives at him still. He never carne back. Dr. George M. Gould's "Meaning and Method of Life. " A SLUMMING EXPERIENCE.' ' The Minister Who Bad Gone Through It j - Determined to Change Bla Flans "With a viewto finding out what slum ming in the toughest regions is like the reporter went to headquarters and asked Qne of Byrnes' oldest and most trusted detectives to tell him some of his expe riences in taking slumming parties about in the region east of the Bowery. "It's a good while now since I've done any of that business, " said the de tective, "and there's very few that we take around Cherry hill and its alleys. It's too tough for ladies and for most men. One of the last parties that I took through there was three young men who were going to do missionary work. They were ministers, and they wanted to see what life was like where it's least worth living, so I took them down to Double alley. That's a 12 foot wide street about 200 feet long and hedged in by eight story tenements. It runs off Cherry street, and it furnishes more crime and violence to the square inch than any other place in New York, with the pos sible exception of Single alley, which is near by. "Of course we attracted attention there. The urchins yelled at us, the loaf ers scowled at us, and unkempt hags stuck their heads out of windows over head and made 'unpleasant comments. We paid no attention. One can't afford to be squeamish in Double alley. The young ministers, however, began to look rather uncomfortable, and I reckoned they -were getting scared and wished they'd staid at home. That wasn't their kind, though, as I found out pretty quickly. When we got pretty near to the end of the place, we heard a terrific howling and yelling in one of the houses. There were cries of 'Murder!' and 'Helpl' mingled with curses and groans. It was a characteristic Cherry Hill mixed ale row from all indications. In a minute out staggered a drunken woman, her forehead bleeding profusely from a gash made by some sharp instrument. Close after her came a big, burly longshore man brandishing a bottle. He reached the woman and brought the bottle down on her head with terrific force, stretch ing her to the pavement. Then he began kicking her. I started for him, but one of the young men was before me. He hit the longshoreman just once, and that was enough. The man went down like a log. "Then there was the devil to pay. Half a dozen big ruffians poured out of the doorway and made for the minister. He knocked the first one off his feet, but the second ran in and grappled with him. By this time I and the other two were taking a hand in it There was nothing scared about those fellows then. I afterward found out that they had all been football players in college. They fought like devils, and with the odds against us we cleaned out the gang in about half a minute. A couple of po lice came running in, and three of the roughs were arrested. The woman went to the hospital, where it was found that she was only slightly injured. Skulls are thick "in Double alley. Our party was a little the worse for wear. My hat was lost in the scuffle. One of the min isters had his coat torn half off, anothel lost his spectacles and the temporary use of one eye, while the chap that had waded in first was wiping the blood from his face and nursing a sprained thumb. When he said good night to me, he remarked: " 'This experience has been a lesson to me I was going to China as a mission ary, but if I can judge by what I've seen tonight there is plenty of room for mis sion work right here in this city, and I think I'll stay here. ' That man has been doing good work among the poor of this city since then, and China has lost a good missionary and a man of nerve. ' ' New York World. The Provincialism of New York. In spite of the commercial character of the people of New York city, in spite of the small army of commercial travel ers whose address is New York, it is still true that the great body of the peo ple know next to nothing of the rest of the country. The west knows the east; the east does not know the west This is true because the west came from the east in the first place and because thou sands of westerners visit the east while only hundreds or tens of easterners visit the west The struggle for existence in New York city is so severe that the body of the people have not the time, if they had the inclination, to acquire general information. Life with them is intense and swift, but it runs in a very narrow channel after all. In a very real sense the people are provincial They ask the visitor from Kansas City if he knows their friends in St PauL They ask the visitor from Denver whether he enjoys any religious privileges in that city of churches. Many of them not only know nothing of all America beyond a few streets of the metropolis, but they actual ly take pride in not wanting to know anything. J. W. Gleed in Forum. Don't Flirt. The man or woman who will indulge in the practice of 'flirting" with an outside party is not worth going out with or being taken out It is a species of bad form that nothing can excuse, and though there are many who think it cute' to make eyes and return signs made by strangers, feeling that such at tention is a bit of personal homage, the outside world judges differently, and one exhibition of that sort should be enough to wean the respect of either man or woman, no matter how devoted they might heretofore have been.

"Beerfish" la Alleged to Be Good When It Is Served Steaming Hot. - There is a dish dear to every Prus sian's heart, which may be, however, absolutely new in this country. All Germans may not know it, as it is not made in south Germany except in iso lated cases. Beer is not its- chief ingre dient, but it plays an important part in the makeup. The dish is known as beerfish, and the German carp, praised of epicures, is herein treated in a manner worthy of the fish. It must be' made with half beer, or, in the abserice of this, with weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut, not in half, like a shad, bat in sections or squares. Three or four Cuts across the fish are all that is necessary. Of. course the fish must be cleaned. A large glazed pot is used. A layer of large onions is placed on the bottom of the pot On this are sprinkled various spices; then a layer of a substance call ed fish pfefferkuchen, which has more or less fish substance in it and can be procured at any German grocery or deli catessen store; then a layer of sliced lemon; then carp. This is repeated .until the pot is full. A layer of onions is placed on top and beer is poured into the whole mass until all the interstices are filled. It is cook ed for 20 minutes over a slow fire, mean time adding a spoonful of vinegar and another of sugar. Beerfish is delicious when it is cooked and served steaming hot Bat its good qualities do not end here, for after it is cold it offers allure ments which make it hard to decide which way it tastes better, hot or cold. Philadelphia Times. Glass Windows. Glass windows are known to have ex isted at Pompeii as early as A. D. 79'. In the third century the windows of royal houses throughout Europe were glazed. Windows of colored glass were placed in many Italian and French churches in 674, and the use of glass became general in private houses dur ing the twelfth century. The panes, however, were only 3 or 4 inches square, and the material was so inferior that while a room was lighted it was often a matter of some difficulty to discern objects on the outside through the glass. For a long time windows in England were a subject of taxation. Wholesale Prices Current. JP The following quotations represent Wholesa Prices generally.
