Tuesday Morning, Feb. 25. 1896 WHAT IT SHOWS. . It was considered a cause of con gratulation to the American people that in the recent bidding tor the $100,000,000 of bonds the bids in the aggregate amounted to more than five times .the amount of bonds 1. offered. As a people we have reason to .feel proud of that for it shows the deep-rooted coafidence of capitalists in the Government and the determi nation to maintain its credit unim paired. It would have been a cause of greater congratulation, perhaps, . if this had been in reality what it was alleged to j be, a "popular loan" and the bonds had been subscribed for by the people instead of the bankers, for that would have been a demonstration of patriotism, un marred by the! spirit of speculation. The result, however, shows that the moneyed men of the country realize the importance of preserving the credit : of the Government which could not materially suffer without doing'more. or less injury to them. When these men of millipns were bidding for the bonds they were doubtless thinking of their profits '.quite 'as much if not more than of the Governmeni's " credit, but how ever this may be and howevsrmuch thrift may have figured in the trans action, it is still gratifying to know that the men of wealth have faith in the ability and intention of the Gov ernment to redeem its obligations in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the contract. But there is another side to this, for whjle the liberal and extraor dinary Ridding shows the unbounded confidence, it is also an indication of conditions upon which the America people have no cause to congratulate themselves.- If the bids aggregating so many millions were made in good faith, as nearly all of them were, it shows that there are about $500,- 000,000 of idle money locked up in the money centers which cannot or will not find employment in our in dustries or in developing our re sources, but seeks investment in Government bonds as promising the most certain and satisfactory re turn. This does not speak elo quently for the prosperity of which we have heard so much lately, nor for the financial methods which . make such conditions possible. In a country like England, which is the creditor nation 4f the world, whose coffers , are filled with the profits drawn from other nations, there might be no significance Jn this, for England is an old country, a trading country, with no undevel oped resources extending over a vast area. In such a country, with such an immense trade, there is naturally a large surplus of money for which there is no use at home, and must go abroad to find investment, as many millions annually do. There it is nothing remarkable that . money should seek investment in . Govern ment and other securities where tfie interest comes with certainty and .regularity, although it may be small. Butja a young, growing, progressive and to a large extent andeveloped country iite this it Is different, and very different when in some sec tions the scarcity of money is VolT M Plethra iQothsec- 11 is a condition which offers little satisfaction ; m. any country where there is a field for enterprise, where its great or small capitalists can find better employment in lending their .money to Governments than in usinp- it to promote industrial enterprises which would give employment to many people and add to the wealth vand prosperity of the country. The money invested in bonds helps the investors and adds to their wealth only, whereas if it were invested in industrial enterprises it would not only help them and add to their wealth, but would help thousands of others and add to the importance, power and wealth of theirNcountry. - I( they had been doing that all along instead of hoarding gold to speculate ttpoa find df twin fold from, tbe Treasury to hoard, there would nave been no occasion for borrowtog money by the Government, to keep nra eold reserve for. which there would be no need, a reserve which is kept up to preserve a vicious mone tary system which has, caused untold injury to this country. I If the borrowing were- necessary to meet some . extraordinary demand for which the Government reve nues were not adequate it might be borne with patience,! and the free offering of money to loan the Govern ment might be a canse of much satis faction to the people, but when it is not necessary and is done to keep up the vicious system to which we allude no patriotic citizen can find any satisfaction in it; on the contra ry he feels and may well feel a keen disappointment and a superlative dis gust. - - X . --' The simple, and sole reason as signed for this borrowing is to main tain the gold reserve which has been several times swept away, and the reason assigned for keeping up the reserve is to "maintain the parity" between gold and silver, a parity which sustained itself from the es tablishment of the Government down to 1873 and would be self-sustaining still if the Government had not per mitted itself to be bound by the folly or crime of 1873. Up to 1873 the silver dollar ranked side by side with the gold dollar, with no one to ques tion ics dignity, services or useful ness, and in 1873 "when the . conspir acy against the silver dollar culmi nated in its degradation it outranked the. gold dollar and was more eagerly sought for. Maintaining the parity is all right, but what is the use of adding hun dreds of millions of dollars to the public debt, paying many millions in interest, and bringing paralysis to business and misery to the country to maintain the parity of the silver dollar with the gold dollar when the silver dollar would' maintain its own parity if it had a fair chance, and the blockade on the road to the mint was raSsed? The struggle to" keep up the parity is not the fault of the silver dollarbut of the out rageous ostracism following the suc cess of the monstrous conspiracy against it when it commanded a premium over gold. Give, it justice and it will ask no more, for it can hold its own as it has held its own. MI5011 ME5TI0H. The sentiment of the people of this country is unquestionably in favor of belligerency in Cuba, and there is no small number of people who believe that we should not be . content with recognizing belligerency, but should recognize the independence of Cuba straight out. There may be a differ ence of opinion as to which should be done, but there is. certainly no ques tion as to the almost unanimous be lief that something should be done, and that this Government should take positive action either in the way of -recognizing belligerency or inde- pendence. It is well known that an overwhelming majority in both Houses of Congress are in favor of recognizing belligerency, while some go so far as to advocate indepen dence, and therefore the people can not understand why this matter drags along so in Congress where there are several resolutions pending for one or the other. Congress dallies while United States warships patrol the coast and watch the harbors to see that no vessel suspected of aid ing the struggling Cubans gets out of port. We might as weir recognize the inevitable. Cuba will get from under the Spanish yoke some liay either by revolution or by sale, for Spain cannot continue to hold it and wage frequent wars to do so. She will be forced either to surrender it ox to sell it, and in. that event this Government cannot see the island pass into the hands ot any other Government. There the Monro. Doctrine comes in with even greater force and importance to us than it does in the case of Venezuela. We would have to resist the transfer of the island to any other power even at the cost of war. The best and the surest way to prevent any contin gency of this kind and to make Cuba ours is to recognize her independence ana make her ours. Saturday, in New York, Govern ment bonds of the last issue sold for 118, the lowest sold bringing 117$. This is between 6 and 7 cents' more than the Government got for. them. Possibly the Government might not have got that much by adopting a different mode pf putting them on the market .because the gold which it wants is cornered- and controlled by combinations of comparatively tew men, and it would be in their power to make-the sale a success or a failure, as they probably could nave done with the last loan, for it may be noted that the : bids for the largest amounts of bonds came from combinations and the bio- hanVc which have been - practically con trolling the bond business all along as tere ta a Q - and Cy 9ffer Premiums on gold aWe stor COatro1 f 'he market- 'sure thing on J J Pre"y aa they think the bnds profit .theiisi-11?";- matter with them that they are deal ;nifh n J c "bal uucmi r ing with a Government on a Pinch, It is with them simply a matter or cold-bloofed business, in which n triotism cuts no figure; but all the a aama they play tha role of friends of ;tfce Treaanfyrand" claim credit for standing by i and helping it to keep the gold reserve up, while the fellows they were .buying gold from were knocking the bottom out of it. at -. .. We were not aware of the fact un til we saw it stated in an editorial in the Philadelphia Timet that the only great deposit of anthracite coal in the world is in Pennsylvania. It is estimated, that at the present rate of consumption this will be exhausted within fifty years. The. cost of this coal is now - perceptibly i increasing as the depth of the mines increases. This being so the probabilities are that the cost will continue to in crease, which will have a tendency tocause-jnore economy in the con sumption and thus prolong the sup ply. But in the meantime with the progress of science, which io these days, takas a practical turn, and the numerous discoveries that.are.belng and will be made, the probabilities are that some other economical heat engendering material will be given to the world to take the place of anthracite long before the Pennsyl vania supply will be exhausted. Mr. Crisp", of Georgia, uttered a crisp truth and covered the ground, when he said in his speech in the House in advocacy of the Senate free silver bill, that it was not the coinage of silver, but the right of sti ver to becoined that gave it its value. It is the right to be coined that raises it from Secretary Mor ton's pot metal to the dignity of a money metal.' ..X CURRENT CUMMENT. It. has been a bedrock prin ciple of Democracy that the majority rules, but in Kentucky half a dozen recalcitrant gold bugs are defeating the will of the majority and voting against the party nominee. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. The failure of the country to get up and howl with grief over the withdrawal of Harrison from the Presidential race is a most striking ev idence of the indifference with which the average voter Hooks upon the whims and caprices of the aspiring statesman. Norfolk Virginian, Dem. Senator Hoar has introduced a bill to "protect American women, attractive by beauty and accomplish ments:, from the rapacity of foreign adventurers, whether titled or un titled," according to the dispatches. This is the first time we have" ever, heard of wealth being set down as an accomplishment.' Generally speaking, the matrimonial rapacity of the foreigners is seldom exhibited unless the American woman has a barrel of money to make her attrac tive, and then the woman in most cases appears very anxious to aid the foreigner. The American woman with beauty and accomplishments of mind is usually abundantly able to take care of herself. ,-SavannahNews. Dem.

Greensboro Record: A little child of lbn Hayworih's. livm&r near Springfield, not far from High Point, was burned to death last Wednesday.

' Stanly Enterprise- It is reported that one of the' parties who murdered Mr. Francis Tally, of Harris township, on the night of the 81st of November, 1892, has made a partial confession. Tnis case has been kept almost a perfect mystery for more than three years, but it reports are true the world will soon be in possession of all the facts concerning his killing. Greenville Reflector-. Thursday, dt Palmyra, J. N. Htrrell.'section master on the Norfolk & Carolina Railroad,' was killed by one ot the colored hands at work under him. Mr. Harrell accused the negro ot stealing some rations, and turned to walk off tbe man struck him a featful blow on tbe head with a jack spike. He lived only a few minutes. Tbe murderer has not been caught. Asheyille Citizen: Detective W. H. Dcaver was still hard at work to day endeavoring to find some light in the Grubb's mystery. He bad men ex ploring the manholes of the sewer sys tem and the condemned wells about the city, in tbe hope of fiading Mr. G ubb's body. The more the case is looked into tbe stronger tbe probabilities are tbat tbe missing man was murdered in or near the city. Rutherford Democrat: Thomas Panter. a young white man aged about 21 years, met a horrible death near his home at Sandy Springs, in Polk county, last Monday morning. He had gone rabbit bunting accompanied by two little boys. Soon after they started, his dogs began to fight. Panter became enraged at them and aimed a heavy blow at them with tbe butt of his gun. The gun struck them,' breaking tbe back of one dog and the leg of another. The force of the blow was so great tbat the stock of tbe gun was broken at the lock and the gun was discharged. The entire load entered tbe young man's abdomen at tbe waist, inflicting a horrible wound. Panter fell in bis tracks, called the boys, told them he was killed and expired. Will Patton, a half-witted young white man, was found lying unconscious beside a road about two miles from Forest City Saturday morning, with his skull fractured. Dr. T. C. Mc Braver, ot Forest City, was called to him and found him mortally wounded. It seems that Will Patton and two negroes, Will Esk- ridge and Carpenter, were seen drinking together and quarrelling, Fri day afternoon, Later Patton and Esk ridge were seen walking off together in the direction of the spot at which Patton was found tbe next morning and when last seen both were very drunk and quar relling. : HOtVO TEA VEL PEES IT IS.EASY-SAYS A GOfeE TROTTER WHO HAS BEEM.THERE.

They drifted around to the subject ot "dead heading" and some one spoke of the habit foreign noblemen have of starting penniless to encircle the globe. One after another gave his opinion of . j.1 1.:.- A A 1.1. . U took bis tarn. He said: "If I had some one to back me and there was anything in It, I believe I could make a -trip of 100,000 miles, never miss a meal or handle a cent of money, complete the distance' inside of a year and get back with clothes as good as, if not better, than I have now, and I wouldn't wort a day." This brought . up a lot of argument, but the man continued : ''How much worse would that be than the trip my partner and myself have just made? A year ago last May the coal strike down in West Virginia! put txs on 'the hog train, '-and since then I can prove that we have, traveled a dis tance that altogether would make over two trips around the world. Of course most of the trip has. been on land and over railroads, but we have found water just as easy when we wanted to travel that wav. v . ' "We started for China to go railroad ing out there, and got as far as Liver pool on the trip when Jack backed out and we 'stowed away' and came back. On the trip over a captain on one of the cattleboats carried us on a card, but the man coming back didn't recognize let ters and we had to make a sneak. ' When we landed, we hadn 't a eent, but that cut little figure. We had to have work, and we had to go to some place where business was good, so we made a starf. We got out of New York over the New York Central to Buffalo and the Lake Shore from there to Chicago. The big strike had just started when We got here, and as we didn t want any 'scab job we didn't stay here long. We went south to New Orleans, and from there to the Pacific coast over the Southern Pacific and came hack east over tbe Santa Fa ''The Santa Fe was the only tough streak we struck. Why, the men out there have got - the 'marble heart' in its worst form. They won't carrv vou in a caboose or on a passenger, train with out a pass, and that the officials won't give you, so you have to watch your cnance ana Tide the rods. ' I am not much stuck on riding - underneath a train. It's liable to induce nervous prostration, but if it has to be done to get Over a road I can do it "On the new big box cars the truss rods hang a foot and a half below the body of the car and it s an easy matter to grab the slide iron of the door and swing yourself under. If you can't fix yourself comfortably on the rods, why, you can work along toward the end of the car and lower yourself down to the brake beam. "How do you get on top of a passen ger; train?" he. was asked. Uhat's easy enough. Just watch your chance and when the train is about ready to leave pick two cars the bag gage cars are the best, because no one is watching them generally stand nr on the brake wheel and you can reach the top of the cars. If you have strength enough it is an easy matter to. swing yourself up, and, once up there, you can, ii yon keep quiet, ride till daylight You have to lie down flat to hang on. but that is not bad, because if you sat up or stood up the cinders from the en gine would cut your face and hands to pieces. . They come back' across the top of the cars like birdshot out of a gun, and with almost as much force. ! V If you have nerve enough you can stow yourself away on the truck of a passenger car so no one can see you.- I have done it, and rode over 200 miles before 1 was caught For that job you want a little board about six inches wide and a foot long, with two cleats in the middle on one side. Then find your four wheel truck a six wheeler won't do because you can't get inside get on the side of the track opposite the depot, and as she starts to pull out grab a truss rod with one hand' and a corner of the truck with the other and slide in on the brake beam feet first !?Bolted tcf the middle of the brake beam and reaching from1 front to rear is the brake rod. Put your 'ticket' (tbe lit tle board) on the brake rod, the cleats will hold it in place, put your feet on the back brake beam and your back against the center beam of the truck, and you can ride almost as comfortably as you could 'up stairs' in a seat You are in behind the wheels,' and it will take a pretty sharp eye to find you if ypn keep quiet Oh, I tell you a man can do a heap of traveling on nothing, if he is a hustler. j" Since we started my partner and I have been in every state and territory of the United States, and I figured it up last night, and we have traveled over 50,000 miles, and if there has been any one time that we have had over a dol lar I don't recollect it " j"How did you get food on that kind of a trip?" asked a listener. "Sometimes the boys were, good and would 'throw a meal into you, ' hut if they didn't, why there was nothing else to do only to 'hit a back door' and try to 'hatter out' : a 'lump. ' It sounds tough, but I've had it to do several times in the last year. I tell you When I get to work steady I'm going j;o tnnV my dough, and when I get enough I'll go to some new country and get me a piece of land.
