' delivered ia the House of Representatives in 1878: "I know that the world's stock of the precious metals is none too large, and I see no reason to apprehend that it wi.l ever become so. - Mankind will be for tunate indeed if the annual" production of gold and silver shall keep pace with the annual increase of population, com merce and industry. According to my view of the subject, the conspiracy which seems to have been iormed here . and in EuroDe to destroy by legislation from three-seventbs to .one-balf the i metallic money of the . world is the mnt oioantic crime of this or any other aee. -The consummation of such a ' scheme would ultimately entail more mis ery upon the human race tnan au me curred in the history of the world. :The absolute and instantaneous destruction of half the entire movable property of the world, including houses, ships, railroads and all other appliances for carrying on commerce, while it would be felt sensibly 1 at the moment, would not produce any thing like the prolonged distress and dis organization of society that must inevi tably result from the permanent annihi lation of one-half the metallic money in the world." Extract from a letter written by Hon. Hoke Smith to Col. W. L. Peek, of Georgia, Sept. 15th, 1890: " I mentioned a number of measures of proposed reform around which all might gather, and out of them obtain the very best plan for the relief the peo ple that it was possible to pass. "1. Currency, with non-perishable ag ricultural products as a basis, the issue to be limited to only a part of the crop, but. not to be called in at the end of twelve months. On the contrary, to remain in circulation until a second crop is harvested, and until a por tion of the second crop may be substituted for4 the first, thereby mak ing it possible to keep the money in con stant circulation, ana to prevent a year ly forced contraction. "2. The free coinage of silver. "3. Ths Issue of Treasury notes by which the Government bonds -might be redeemed, and instead of the interest- bearing bonds a legal tender currency, ;i substituted. v "4. A graded income tax, by which the large fortunes accumulated in the hands of the few might be made to bear their portion of the expense of Govern ment. "5. A reduction of the tariff generally and especially on the necessaries of life." . CURRENCY REFORM? 1 The report comes from Washing ton that the President will shortly send to Congress a special message urging the necessity of reform in our currency system to "restore" conn dence" , and improve abroad the credit of American securities. It will be urged, it js said, that some thing like this is imperatively neces sary to bring foreign capital this way and prevent it from going out of the country as much has already done and as much more will do unless some effective steps be promptly taken to put our monetary system on a sound basis. It is intimated that the Treasury guardians are becom ing apprehensive of more draining of the Treasury and foresee impending gold raids, and that one of the ob jects in view in sending in this spe cial message is the hope that Con 'gress may be persuaded to do some thing to protect the gold reserve and , obviate the necessity of another issue of bonds. , At present there doesn t seem to be any extra' demand for gold for shipment, and while this condition lasts the gold reserve.will be pretty safe, but if there should be any extra demand and gold goes up as a con sequence then the ra'ding will begin and the reserve will go glimmering, as the reserves have been doing for the past few years. The Washington news gatherers do not enlighten us as to the recom mendations that will be made in the anticipated message, for the reason, .we suppose, that they didn't know and didn't want to guess, but it wouldn't be hard to make a guess that wouldn't be very far out of the way, if the President should decide to formulate and send to Congress such a message. Ia his recorded utterances, ia the postive position he . has taken in favor of gold and the ' m . a m m ' aia ana com tort ne nas been giving those who carry the gold standard are pointers enough to indicate the bent of his thought when - he sits down to write that document He will plead for congressional recognition of the gold standard. There is no doubt as to that, and will nro-e that the refusal tn An cn mill h. -0 , . ..... construed by the capitalists of other gold standard countries as a deser-1 tion of gold, the practical effect of which will be to shatter European confidence and make it impossible for American enterprises to secure loans in these countries. It will be represented as practically putting this country on a silver basis, and hastening the withdrawal of gold irom it. A positive declaration in c - . iavor ot "sound money" that is gold may be expected In this mes sage, if it comes, which is doubtful," to say the least. me remedy ne will propose to command confidence, and ' at the same time secure, currency reform. outside of the declaration in favor of gold, is no so apparent, but there 5 II a.a.1 " ... is uiuc aouDttnatone of the steps necessary to show. that we mean Dusiness ne will point out to be get- ting rid of the greenbacks which, in the language of his friend banker Benedict, serve ,as a "pump" to drain the Treasury ,of its gold. There are $346,000,000 in green- DacKS, wmcn is a uttie over one- sixth or the total amount of our uiuucy. xi uoesu r. require any guessing to arrive at thisconclusion, for Secretary Carlisle, -secretary Smith. Secretary' Mortorr, Comp. troller of the Curren?jr-Eckles anrj scores of others who have been in close touch with the administration, have demanded and reiterated the demand for the retiring of the green backs as the essential step to, the protection of the Treasury gold re serve. That is a matter of record, so that any paper on currency re form emanating from Mr. Cleveland would, without some suggestion about retiring the greenbacks, : be like the play of Hamlet with Ham let omitted. The gold worshippers don't like the greenback any better than they do the silver dollar, nor as well, and the next move we may expect if they succeed in knocking silver out at the next election will be to knock the greenbacks out and commit them to the archives of antiquity or to the masceratiner machine, the favorite way of doing them up before Con gress passed the act directing that when redeemed they be re-issued and kept in circulation. That's what hurts now. The Sec retary of the Treasury wants me authority to tie the redeemed green backs up in big bundles with a strong piece of twine and shove them into a corner of the vault until authority comes to destroy them and the little dessicating, mascerating . machine is put in operation. If they could get rid of the greenbacks this would re move the only effective agent for draining the gold reserve, and would also remove $346,000,000 from the volume of the currency, which would make money, that much the dearer, and that much the "sounder," accord ing to the ideas of some of the gold standard financiers. The only way - yet suggested by which these greenbacks may be re tired is by issuing bonds to get gold to redeem them and then get au thority from Congress to destroy them. This is what has heretofore been recommended. Whether Mr, Cleveland has discovered any other way of retiring them the public has not been advised. Bat it doesn't matter so much what the recommen- dationsmay be in this special ities sage, (if one should be sent to Con gress, which we doubt,) for this late in the season there is not the slight est probability , that ' Congressmen would give it serious attention or that there is .the remotest proba bility of a currency bill being passed if one were presented on the lines laid down in the ' message.' The Solons are becoming anxious to get home and they couldn't be induced to enter upon a financial debate this late in the season His only motive could be in send ing such a message to Congress to define and emphasize his position on the monetary question as be did on the tariff question In the last year of his first administration. That was then considered a very ill-timed and unfortunate message by some Demo crats and this anticipated one might prove to be quite as ill-timed and unfortunate for the friends of the gold standard. HON. CHAS. M. STEDMAN. In common with his hosts of friends the Star regrets to learn that Hon. Chas. M. Stedman has decided to leave North Carolina to become a citizen of Georgia. About the first of May he will . leave Ashe- ville for Atlanta, where he will make his home and devote himself to the practice of his profession, the law. There are few men in North Caro lina whose departure would be more regretted, for there are few who are better known .or more 'lastly esteemed, not only by those who have the pleasure of an, intimate acquaintance, but by the multitude who know him by reputation only. A young and gallant soldier of the Lost Cause, when the flags were furled, he, like thousands of other young men, began the battle of life, and by hia industry, enerev and ability went to the front, where he took position and where he has re mained ever since, filling the honored positions to which he had been called by his fellow citizens with credit to himself and honor to them.. A Demo crat without alloy, there never was an hour when be was not ready to respond to the call of iris party. Brave and aggressive in the field be was cool and wise in council, and to him, and such as he, belongs the i f . o- I nnr of redeemingliojlhCarollna l0m tne spoiler and putting her at tne front as nne of rh orar r. . . o I deemed, Southern commonwealths. As a Democrat he was uncompro- mising ana unseinsniy loyal : as a citizen he was the zealous promoter of what he believed to be the best in terests of his community or State; as a friend of progress he was ever reaay oy wora ana aeed to aid in any meritorious enterprise; as a man he was. amiable, courtly in manners, and drew friends to him whom his Stirling virtues held friends for life; a lawyer thoroughly read, industri ous, untiring; loyal to his clients, ana singularly gifted-with a persua sive power of oratory "he ranked among the legal giants, and with all 1 . - " ne was tne genial, companionable, hnselfash man who won friends wher I ever ne weQt and never lost a friend ne won. This is what Georgia and J Atlanta gain when he casts his destl nies with them and this Is what North' Carolina loses when he goes from us . . : . MHOR MENTION. Secretary Carlisle delivered his speech to working men at Chicago yesterday. It was substantially the same speech which; he delivered at other places in the country when laboring '.to stem the "silver craze -and boost the gold standard, of which he has become the most con spicuous champion. He assumes in this speech, as he always does, and as the gold advocates . always do," that the free coinage of silver at a ratio ot 16 to -1 wonld result in a financial catastrophe snch . as this country has never seen, causing a universal breaking of the banks,' in dustrial paralysis, with all the atten dant evils, making a picture quite as frightful as the lurid picture he drew in 1878 of the-horrid consequences of the demonetization ' of f silver. He assumes ; all ' this 'V. and then from the assumption, which no silver man a'dmits, he goes on and argues his .case for gold and warns the workman against the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The op ponents of thefree coinage of silver in 1878 predicted substantially . the same results and they reiterated these predictions when Congress compromised on the Bland-Allison limited coinage bill, and; were quite as positive in their predictions then as they are now. Did they pan out? Not much. The result I knocked them out and discredited them as prophets Of evil. They are playing the same old fake role now and Mr. Carlisle has joined them to fool peo ple who they think may have for cotton their lurid prophecies in 1878. f ;m . r x We live in a day of civil commo tions, wars and rumors of .'wars, but we, also live in a day of mighty pro gress and of marvellous scientific discoveries, the end of which no mor tal being can conceive. When Prof. Roentgen staggered the credulity of the scientific world by the announce ment that with the so-called x ray he had succeeded In taking photo graphs through solid substances scientists familiarwith electricity soon began to experiment, and their experiments . not only confirmed all that the Professor had said but went far enough to show that he, like many other discoverers, had scarcely crossed the threshold. Among these experimenters was the great Edison, in whose works there is always some thing practical. He-has made some wonderful inventions by which the a. ray may De enecuveiy ana ai xr t rr - ? t ' most instantaneously utilized by the physician and surgeon, obviating the slow and tedious methods by which Prof. Roentgen achieved results Edison expressed the opinion that the X ray would prove to be an effective agency for the destruction of disease germs, an opinion which some other scientists and physicians were disposed to consider as vision ary, is ut tne suggestion put other scientists not only to thinking but to working, the results of which are given in tBe following editorial re ference to some experiments made in Chicago, which we clip from the New York Journal: 'It would be impossible to over-esti mate the importance to humanity of the discovery, which two Chicago scien tists report, of the fatal effect upon the bacteria' of disease of the Rosntgen o- A rays. Professor W. P. Pratt and Professor Hugh Wightman, of the Ben nett Medical .College, Chicago, claim to have taken every precaution to ver ify their discovery before making it public. They declare that in the case of the bacteria of diphtheria there is not the vaguest doubt that exposure to the mysterious rays resulted in the death of the pests. With almost equal confidence they report like results of experiments wan the bacteria of cholera, influenza, pneumonia, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other less deadly infectious diseases. If their conclusion be correct, plague and pestilence will be things of the past in civuizea nations, l ne annual dread of the onward march of Asiatic cholera will be forgotten, for even the sacred pool from which that scourge proceeds may be so purged of its germs ot pesti lence that fanatical pilgrims may drink of its waters and live." The advocates of dear money say the single gold standard must be re tained, or thecountry will be ruined. These same people insisted .that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act would bring about a great revival of business. Has anybody discovered the revival ? From LaQrippe.

The old faEihlonod French windows that could be set ajar like so many doors make perfect ventilation possible, especially in Uiose cases where they are to be found on several sides of a house, allowing a current of air to sweep directly through rooms and to penetrate every cornet. The drawback to the ordinary window is that if opened two or three feet above the floor when the air pours in the heavy gases are apt to set tle and stay inside. Even when a room is provided with a ventilator near the top the stratum ot impure air above may remain. With n window extending from the floor to the celling and made so that it can be opened wide, a complete change of air in a room is possible. 1r ' Piano Playing. -1 A French scientist of note maintains that a large number of the- nervous mal-T adies from which girls suffer are to be at tributed to playing the piano.

The violin, he says, is equally injurious.

In the Insane asylum at there ia a White haired old ; man whose .story inter ests every visitor . " ; When I saw him, be was sitting .in we library at a desk apparently engaged in a laborious mathematical calculation. He covered sheet after sheet with ngurea and occasionally paused to gaze at his work with intense interest. i '"!' .' " The busy worker was neatly attired in black, and his serene and intellectual face'' bore not tne sllgntesc trace oi insanity: I The superintendent who accompanied me picked up a sheet of paper and called my attention to it. On every line appeared the figures 77, 77?: . -, "Every sheet IS joko tnav ne emu. "The old man does nothing else all day long." V ,f What do these figures mean?" I asked at the suggestion of my companion. "It is the number or my lottery ocKet, was the ready answer. 'No. 77,777 in the lottery has drawn the capital prize of $100, 000, and the money will bo here tomor row." : Then the poor fellow smiled, and a joy ful light came into hisyes. , - "It will mate me tne nappies man m the world," he said. , "Kot that I care for it myself, but I have made a present of the. ticket to my wife, and she needs the money." V . - " You are very fortunate," 1 repuea, "in getting the tloket with the winning num ber." ' . " I "res, and I dreamed it," was the re sponse. "The number came to me in my dreams three successivenights, and so I bought the ticket. My wife laughed at me, but it drew the prize, and when it comes tomorrow I am going to give it to her in 100 $1,000 bills." - He bent over the table and began figur ing again in Ms slow and methodical way. "A strange doluslon," I.sald to the su perintendent. "Has it any foundation?" "It is a very sad story," replied": the official. "The old man has been here 80 years, and during all that time he has talked of nothing but his prize and the happiness it will bring to his wife. ' "His name is Colonel S , and he came from one of our upper counties. He had a small estate and a wife with very large ideas. .- ? ' "The colonel's house would have sup ported the two. comfortably but for the fact that his beautiful and high spirited wife was always making extravagant de mands. She squandered his money, forced him to mortgage his plantation and then made him borrow large sums right and left. "At last the colonel could borrow no . longer, and his creditors began to press lum. This made his wife furious, and she stormed and raged at him and told him that he must provide her with funds. '-'Her husband bore it all patiently, but he was driven nearly crazy 'by his creditors and his nagging wife. One night he dreamed that he had purchasd No. 77,777 in the lottery ana that it was the win ning ticket. He had the same dream three times that night, - and the next day he went to the city and bought the ticket. "His wife scolded him for his folly, and in her angry mood she threatened to de stroy the ticket. The colonel knew that she was just the woman to do such a thing, and he concealed the precious bit of paper and waited for the next monthly drawing, "Matters grew worse.and the two were hardly on speaking terms. One baturday the colonel went to the postofflce and came back at breakneck speed, spurring his horse all the' way. He rushed into the house and' throwing his arms around his wife's neck told her that they were saved and that his ticket had drawn the prizo. x" The woman turned pale and gasped for breath. Her husband showed her the ofli cial list of the drawing and shouted for joy, But not a word came from his wife. A hopeless look of despair came over her face, and for the first time she was afraid to meet the eyes of the man who stood by her side. "A terrible thought flashed through the colonel's mind, and without a word he hurried to the secret place where he had concealed the ticket. "It was gono. The beautiful tigress whose greed and temper had wrecked his life hod carried out her threat, bhe had . found the ticket and destroyed it. There 'was no doubt of that, for she was the only one in the house with the exception of her husband who had access to the room where the paper had been deposited. "When the colonel returned to his wife's room,- she threw herself on her knees at his foet. She wept and kissed his hands - and refused to be comforted. The colonel knew that , the case was hopeless, for the Havana lottery always required the ticket itself and no tale about its destruction would do any good. He helped his. wife to her feet and kissed her, and told her that It was all right, they would make a new start and set along somehow. "But the woman had made up her mind, She .tore herself away from her loyal, pa tient victim and went into another room, locking the door behind her. The report 'of a pistol told what had occurred, and when the colonel broke open the door he found his wife dead, with a bullet through her heart, -v, "The neighbors found him sitting by the dead woman's side talking about his prize. His reason had deserted him, and since that day he has been just as you see him now. He believes that his wife is liv ing, and his entire time is spent in de vising plans for her comfort and pleasure, " Will he ever-recoverf " I asked the su perintendent.'' - "Never. He has been in this condition 80 years' and is now 65 years old. It is best for him to remain as he is. If he should regain his reason, nothing but sor row would come with it." X walked back to the table and found the colonel covering another sheet of paper with the figures 77,777. f . ."I hope your prize will come tomor row," I said pleasantly. ' "It is sure to come," he replied, "and then my wife will feel like a new woman. We are going to travel and build a hew home and enjoy life. There are only two of us, and $100,000 will be enough for us, I am anxious for tomorrow to come on my wife's account. You see, she needs the money, and I don't know what she would have done if it had not been for this stroke 6f good fortune." The superintendent and I left him at his work, smiling and happy, waiting for the tomorrow that will never come. Wallace P. Reed. How It Waa Done. Tears came to the surf ace of her brown eyes.
