One of the scarecrows of the anti silver men is "cheap" money, but there are some sections of this coun try in which they have cheap money now, at least it would seem so from the following paragraph, which we clip from the Ihiladelphia Times: ; "There is abundance of money await ing investment on moderate terms. A loan of $6,000,000 has been placed by Pittsburg at a fraction under X per cent , and $60,000,000 was offered to the city in response t the call. Allegheny ' opened bids for a $600,000 loan for water works and $17,000,000 was the extent of the offers made. Here are two incidents 'indicating $77.000.000 available for pub lie uses and showing how great the ex cess of money is beyond the demand. With a situation like this the Populist , clamor for an inordinate increase by free coinage of .-.silver and an extraordinary issue of fiat money is something colossal in the way oi nonsense." The point in this is that there is money enough in this country and therefore the cry for more is non sense. There is no doubt that there is money enough in the money cen ters, too much, and that is one of the things of which the country is complaining to-day, a gorge on one side and a famine on the other; ' millions locked up in the vaults of the money kings, where, it is lyiBg useless and doing no one any good, while in other sections the people are suffering for want of it and can't get it.. That kind of money is just next things to no money at all. A locked up dollar is not a dollar. . It is only a piece of metal or a piece of paper. The dollar which performs the office of a dollar and is money in the full sense of the word is the dollar that moves and keeps its proper place in the channels of trade. It is this gorge on one side and famine- on the other which gives emphasis to the agitation of the sil ver question, for the people want to see this money monopoly broken, and an end to this Concentration of the money of the country in any parti cular section. They want to see a more equable distribution of the volume ot the currency, and they be lieve that the free coinage of silver would be a means to this end. There is one point which enters into this contention which is not re ferred to in the paragraph we quote, but is an essential factor. The money in actual circulation in this country is, with the exception of the subsidiary silver, nearly all paper, consisting of about $1,000,000,000, every dollar of which is practically redeemable in gold, with the excep tion of the stiver certificates. Silver is not worth a continental for the redemption of , any of it. The men who control the gold of the country, which alone can be used for the redemption of this paper, can control the volume of the paper by retiring as much of it as they see fit or as their gold holdings will command. That is one of the things of which the silver men complain, that this immense volume of paper money should be redeemable in gold only which has to be bor rowed for that purpose when there is silver enough available for all the demands of commerce and . business which could be, if coined, redeem able in silver which there would be no occasion to borrow and which could not be coined by syndicates and speculators as the gold coin of the country is. They hold, and hold truly, that there should be" both gold and silver, that these should be the basis of our monetary system, both of which for conscience, sake may be represented by paper redeemable in either gold or silver at the option of the redeemer. The very moment there is a discrimination by the Gov ernment in favor of one or the other the' discrimination acts upon ', the other and has more or less tendency to discredit it. 7 4 That is one of the complaints of the silver men and one of the causes which has given point to the demand for silver. But aside from this there is something radically de , fective in a monetary system which will enable the people of one section to command all the money they want, and leave millions idle in the vaults awaiting bidders, when the people of other sections are suffering for want of it and cannot ' command as much as they need upon any terms. Hence we find the financial question ex citedly agitated in ; the West and South, where there is a great scarcity ' of money,' and agitated none itf the ' East where it is abundant and cheap. . There is no necessity for demanding more money: when it can be bor rowed in million -dollar blocks at 3J per cent and where scores" of millions are' ,' lying waiting.' for . the borrower to come along with the right kind of security; and take it almost at bis own price. Bat this : doesn't do the man of the South or .the West who needs money any good, because be can t offer the kind of se curity these money lenders . demand. Oar railroads of ; big. corporations might be able to get some of it, but the people none. ; v : With State banks this, inequality would be corrected,' and there would be such a distribution of the volume of the currency as would make it use ful to all sections and make It per form the office for which it was in tended, an office which it does not fully perform when it is drawn from one section and uselessly centered in another. -"'v " '..-.:?v. MINOS MEOTI03T. , The San Francisco Examiner makes merongf some interesting expert. mentirw" being made-in California, for the preservation of perishable fruit. It seems that Mr. Frank M. Smith who had met with, success ; in putting up meat in borax was asked by a friend whether he ' had ever' tried it on the preservation of fruit. He had not, but acting; on the sug gestion he concluded to make some experiments the results of which are thus told by the Examiner; - '" "He packed several pounds of cher ries in a box of powdered borax. - This box was placed in the cellar and along side of it he put a large glass dish filled with the sime kind of fruiu. Then he awaited developments. The next day he visited the cellar and found the cherries in the dish were beginning to turn. In three days they were so decomposed that it was necessary to throw them away. . In order to make a good test he determined not to .disturb the packed cherries for three weeks. At the termi nation of that time the box was opened, and the Iruit was found as fresh and in' as good condition as when first placed there. ." ' "rP ' "Mr. Smith was amazed and he was delighted over the result and determined to experiment on a larger scale.' He had a quantity of cherries packed in a barrel of borax and sent to Chicago by slow freight. . Last week he received a tele gram saying the fruit had arrived in per fect condition and was bringing surpris ingly high prices." ; At the suggestion of Mr. Smith other large fruit-growers are making experiments the results of which will be duly published that - other fruit growers and shippers may avail themselves of any benefits .that may be found in this method. We do not know what the cost of borax is, but it seems to be cheap enough to jus tify its employment in this way, in addition to which the borax may be used over and over again. If there be anything in this it is a matter of importance to the fruit-growers of the South, as it will enable them to handle better and. more profitably their perishable fruits. The Southern States, and the whole country in fact, are to be con gratulated on the decision rendered by the U. S. Court of Appeals at Richmond, Tuesday, dissolving the injunction of Judge Goff in the reg istration law case, and .dismissing the bill. If that injunction had held and the ruling of Judge Goff been sustained every Southern State would have been at the mercy of disgrun tled partisans and partisan Judges, wherever the partisan Judge could be found to co-operate with or play into the . hands ot the disgruntled parti san, in tms south Carolina case tne whole elective system of the State was set aside on the allegation that some citizens of the State were discrimina ted against, without designating what particular class, but the presumption is that it was the colored citizen, at least so the' ruling Judge thought for he took occasion to say that it gay nim particular pleasure, or wo:ds to that effect, to sit down upon such an unjust law. Judge Goff couldn't conceal the partisan bias that influenced him in that decision, and one of the strangest things about it is that he was sustained in that decision, and his action marked by Democrats, some of whom had for years held position under and reaped the benefits of the law they sought to have declared null and void. i v " " . According to a recent bulletin is sued by the U. S. census bureau, giv ing the- occupations of the people, there were in 1890 engaged in agri culture, fisheries and mining, 9,013, 201 persons; in professional pursuits, 944,326; in domestic and personal service, 4,360,506; in trade and trans portation, 3,325,962;' in manufacto ries and mechanical pursuits 5,091, 669. This embraces all persons ever ten years of age, of both sexes, em ployed in "gainful occupations." The per centage of increase is large in all the occupations; but a notable feat ure of the report is the. large increase of female workers, the number being in 1890 4,000,000 against 1,200,000 in 1880. In some branches the increase of female employes, has become very large owing to the fact that so many, have found employment as type-writers, stenographers, accoun tants, cashiers, clerks, &c., for which they have, .shown special aptitude, This is an evidence of a decided j im provementin the methods of the age in thus opening the way for the em ployment of women, to enable them to be self-supporting and ; Indepen dent, and not be confined to the nee die, the school room, or Jto domestic drudgery as was so much the case in past years, v ' -V- ;v:' '.'--v j A German inventor has invented a which burns alcohol made from wood, which gives six times as much light as kerosene.

The body was taken to the home of the deceased, and Mr. Geo. W. Frederick, engineer on one of the dredge boats at work near Southport, was engaged to bring the Wilmington to the city, the boat arriving here at 9.80 o'clock last night. Mr. Pearce was a resident of South- port, aged 43 years, and leaves a wife and three childien to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted husband and father. He .was a sober and industrious man, prompt ana reliable, and one of the best engineers on the river. The deepest sympathy is felt by all in South port and many in Wilmington, for his family in their sore bereavement. The fnneral will take place this afternoon in Southport.

The opinion filed by Judge Hughes is an exhaustive treatment of the questions raised in the case., The other Judges who sat have not had ah opportunity to see the paper, so Judge 'Hughes is solely responsible lor it. - j :'r Judge Hughes' opinion in the South Carolina case is, in part.1 as follows The Judge gives a careful review of the record and, continuing, says : "There is nothing in the record jto show that the complainant is a man of color, or that those for whom he sacs are colored per sons. The bill contains no allegation that the-provisions of law complained of were devised - against the . complain ant or those . for whom he sues on . account of their i race. , color, or - previous ; condition of servitude. There is nothing in the averments of the bill from which it. nJayj naturally, or must necessarily, be inferred, that the complainant and ' those for whom he sues are citizens of color. " There are no averments in the bill which show that the case falls within the purview of the Fifteenth Amendment bf the Constitu tion of the United. States. Nor does the : bill contain any allegations which raise a Federal question under that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment which forbids a State fto I deny to any person the equal protection of the laws." : -. It charges that the effect of the pro visions of the registration acts com plained of is to give unequal facilities of registration to different classes of citi zens; but it does not point out how this Is so. It leaves the discrimination as to the inference. and research in sources other than its own averments It char-r ge that the provisions of . law com plained of discriminate; bnt it does not describe the manner of discrimination, or define the classes affected, pro or con ; nor does it show that the laws complained of in discrimtaatiog between classes as to r the privilege of - registering granted by them. violate the clause in the ; Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids a State "to" deny to any person within it equal, protection of the law." It confounds privilege with protection', The bilLhas no reference , to a Federal election in setting out complainant's case. The gravamen of the bill contemplates only a. State election to be held tor mem bers of the State Convention to con vene in August next. It is not shown that any Federal election is to be held in the State oL South.
