It is becoming more and more appar ent that the only financial legislation that will be acceptable to New York and New England will be the retirement of the treasury notes and the substitution of bonds in their stead. It is quite as apparent that the Populist plan includes and demands the increase of the treas ury notes with no provision for gold or silver redemption. There is no element of real financial reform in either of these positions. The first would still further decrease the circulation. It is true that it would make every dollar good. The trouble with it is that money would be so scarce and good that less than even now would find its way to the agricultural sections. The second would bo equally as hurt ful to the other extreme. It would make money so plentiful that it would be at a discount, and would bring about an era of extravagance in appropriations that would soon bankrupt the country Paper money is worth no more than any other paper unless it can be redeemed on presentation. If the right is given to or exercised by Congress of printing an unlimited amount of irredeemable paper money, the experience of the Confeder ate States of America and of the Argen tine Republic would be repeated here whenever the members of Congress thought large issues would increase their popularity. The mid lie ground is the only safe ground. The nearest approach to a per feet system would be for the Federal government to provide for the eoinagt of gold and silver, and leave to the States the entire control of the issue o' paper money. This would be the ideal system. It is evident that this cannot be secured now. The extreme gold bug on the one side and extreme fiat money advocates on the other stand in the waj of the adoption of this plan. The near est approach to it that can be secured ought to command the support of all conservative men who prefer wise, early action to the continuation of the present inelastic system. True statesmanship will seek the gol den mean. The issue of the Norfolk Virginian of January Ist, 1895, consists of twenty-foui pages and contains a review of the busi ness of Norfolk for the year 1894, a»d a comparison of the trade of 1884. Tht showing is a wo*derful exhibit of growth and development. In 1884 the trad* of Norfolk was estimated at $48,- 007,500. The business for last year reached $91,198,343, an increase of $43, 190,848. Norfolk's population in 1884 was about 25,000; it is now 50,000 Its area was embraced ia 880 acres; it now occupies 2,470 acres. Its postal receipts were $43,260.27; they are now $83,- 309 48. The number of buildings erect ed in eight years was 2,253, at a value of nearly $5,000,000. Last year 443 buildings were erected at a cost of $951,- 838. The combined population of Nor folk, with that of Portsmouth, Berkley, and other towns, amounts to 100,000. The Virginian proposes a consolidation of the cities and towns under one munici pality—“The Greater Norfolk”—and this issue is dedicated to the promotion of this result. Germany refuses to admit American live stock unless the United States re moves the discrimination of one-tenth of a cent a pound on sugar imported from that country. France threatens to do the same thing; Os late years, next to cotton and wheat, no export has been so valuable as beet and hog meat. Their exclusion from Germany and France will result in great loss to the stock raisers of this country. The sugar trust combina tion between Gorman and Aldrich to prevent the abolition of the bonus to the Trust, thus works a hardship to stock growers and pork packers of America. The Trust is the only thing that receives a benefit. It ought to be made so hot in the Senate for the combine composed of Aldrich, Quay & Co., of the Republicans; Gorman tfe Co., of the Democrats, and al! the Populists, that they would be s aokod out. The Charlotte Observer learus that Senator Moody, of Haywood, has declar ed for Hon. H. G. Ewart for the Senate, and that Mr. Ewart is now claiming a in ijority west of the ridge. Let the pro c -dou proceed. May the best man win. When Van Burtm was defeated, they p cached the fuueral of the Demoerut c pid v, and on the surface there seemed go i cause. Four years later, the old Democracy arose aud gained a splendid victory. Stick a pin here. THE SUGAR BOUNTY. The Chicago Inter Ocean is anxious to see the day when every pound of sugar consumed in America will be produced in the United States “under the stimu lus of a bounty” of two cents a pound. Other Republican papers are beginning to paint beautiful pictures of the value of the sugar bounty—to the receivers of that bounty. Commenting on this, the New York Times says: Taking the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1893, as one in which the conditions were normal, we may estimate the con sumpt on of sugar in this country to bo about 4,500.000,000 pounds per annum The bounty for such a quantity would be $90,000,000. We are asked not only to Odd that it would be just to exact this great sum from all the people in order that it. might be paid, in cash, to the growers of sugar beets and sugar cane, but also to believe that the people would submit, cheerfully to such a tax for this purpose. It was shown some months ago that the bounty had become i quivalent to the payment of an average of $57 per acre per annum to the cane growers of Louis iana. This sum was received in cash from th3 National Treasury, into which it had been paid in the form of taxes by the wheat growers, cotton growers, and the people generally. We do not believe it is just thus to tax the whole people for the benefit aud euricbment of a small number or class. It is absurd to say that the people could be indie ed to pay an annual bounty of $90,000,000 to do mestic growers of sugar beets and sugar cane. We believe that if a proposition to resume the payment of the McKinley bounty of about $12,000,000 should be submitted to the people now, standing by itself, not one man in ten would vote for it. We have not heard that the growers of wheat and cotton whose pro ducts have been selling at the lowest prices on record (averaging less, we think, than $lO per acre) are anxious to be taxed for the payment of a cash bonus of $57 per acre to the sugsr planters. LIVE QUESTIONS. Worse Than Tammany. The New York Times says: “The political situation in the city of Phila delphia is astonishing and deplorable. The city is really very much worse eff than New York was before the recent election, for its Republican rulers are quite as disreputable and more daring ban our Tammany bosses; while the people of the city appear to us to have oecome so discouraged under govern ment by a machine that continually grows not only wickeder, but more pow erful, that the great mass of .them are hopeless of obtaining relief at the pods at the coming election in February." An Extra Session. The New York Tribune says: “Repub licans can have no objection to an extra session of the Fifty-Fourth Congress at is early a date as President Cleveland may choose to call it. On the other hand, they will welcome the opportunity of ren dering the country valuable service be times. The question is, will the Presi dent call an extra session ? The repub ican House would not be ‘ on his hands,’ it is true, but it might interfere seriously with his ‘personal comfort.’ There is f adjournment ? There is too mach r alk in Congress, too much backing Red filling and too little real business. One hing the Senate should do is to amend he absurd rules under cloak of which it is possible for the minority to control he business of the chamber, to waste he precious time of the country in ir relevant debate, and to nullify the,in lerent right ot the majority to rule. A resolve of this character would be a ianpv resolution for New-Year’s day, 1895.” Populists and Railroads. The St. Louis Republic says: “One plank in the platform of principles writ ren by Judge Trumbull, of Chicago, and ■tent to St. Louis for the consideration of he delegates to the Populist convention now in session here resolves that the government take charge of the railway ines of the country and operate them with employes who shall hold under ’ivil Bervice rules and neither be appoint ed nor dismissed for political rea sons. If it be understoood that the present trained employes of the railroad companies are be left n possession after the Populist party has confiscated the lines, the Populists will have none of the Trumbull platform There are too many Populists after jobs to make any programme acceptable w dch ioes not look to appointment without ex tmination as to merit. How does J i dge Trumbull propose to put the govern qient in the ownership of the railroads? Ts it possible that he can look to confiscation is a means? That supposition is no qjiore violent than that he favors their (pur chase with irredeemable paper issues fun ding into bii ions of dollars.” It May Do as Much for You.

Gov’t Report RpYaJ iSSS Absolutely pure LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. J Governor Richard Caswell and “High Hefty Martin.” Newbern, N. C., Jan. 1. To the Editor of the News and Observer. Doubtless many of your older readers will remember that ancient doggerel . “High Betty Martin, tip toe, tip toe, High Betty Martin, tip-toe fine! She couldn’t get a shoe. She couldn't get a stocking, She couldn’t get a husband To suit her mind; High Betty Martin,” etc. But probably few of them know, that the lines were composed in honor(?) of the grandmother of the Hon. Richard Caswell, the first Governor of the State of North Carolina, under the Constitu tion adopted in December. 1776. She was Miss Elizabeth Martin,of Harford county, Maryland, and, as the sequel shows, she had two husbands whether they “suited her mind” or not. As to the articles of apparel mentioned no further light is shed. Mr. John F. Blandy, of Prescott, Ari zona, writing to the American Historical Register for December, (P. 402) says: “Richard Caswell, Governor of North Carolina, and a member of the Conti nental Congress, and William Pace, signer of the Declaration of Independ ence and Governor of Maryland, were first cousins, and first cousins of my grandfather, Josias Dallam, of Harford county, Maryland. They were grand sons of a lady whose maiden name was Elizabeth Martin. Os her the well known couplet, ‘High Betty Martin, tip-toe fine,’ &c., was written. She was celebrated for her beauty and was a large real estate owner in the Province of Maryland. The origin of the verses was that she was courted by two young lawyers— Richard Dallam and Winston Smith, who came Irora England to the Colony as companions and friends: The story goes that the elaborate ruf fled shirts, which were the fashion of the day, were scarce and expensive, esjiecial ly in the Colonies, and that they had but one between them, and, of course, could not pay their visits both at the same time to Miss Betty. It was, therefore, said that it was difficult for her to make up her mind which to take. She did de cide, however, and ended in marrying both. She first married Dallam and then had three sons and a daughter. This daughter was the mother of Richard Caswell of North Carolina. As widow Dallam she married Winston Smith and by him had three sons and a daughter. This daughter was the mother of fm. Pace.” Confirmation of his descent from Mrs. Dallam is found in the “Itinerary” of Gov. Caswell, published in Vol. 9, of i our Colonial Records, pages 1064 68, and written by him when he was attend ing the Continental Congcess at Philadel phia in October, 1774. He mentions as j an incident of his journey through Ilar ! ford county, Md., that he “went to . I Josias Dallam’s, where I saw my grand i mother. ” * j The lines quoted were set to music, j and the (une will probably be recalled iby some of the veterans as one of the ' collection of Frank Johnson, of pleas i ant memory, and others of that ilk, who j played it for “Ladies to the right,” and 1 j other “square dances,” long since eon ! consigned to oblivion. We who enjoyed »j it did not know that the lively air, with j its absurd words, was intimately asso '! dated with oue of the foremost of our ' patriots of the Revolution. Graham Daves. ROBBED OF $40,000. A Former Resident of Greensboro Loses Money in New York, j Special to the News and Observer. Greensboro, N. C., Jan. 2. Mr. H. B. Tilden who, according to the New York papers was recently robbed of about $40,000 in New York, was a resident of Greensboro for several years. He had been in England for some months negotiating the sale of some mining property in this county. He has a brother living in this city now. Some of the ladies of Greensboro have interested themselves in the Nebraska sufferers and are endeavoring to raise some money to send to them. The chemical laboratory at the Normal and Industrial School caught fire a day or so ago, but thanks to the excellent water supply aud the ap >aratus for fighting fire, it was soon extinguished without much damage. Messrs. Wharton aud McAllister, of this city, will apply to the next Legisla ture for a charter for a mutual fire in surance company which thev have organ ized to do business in this State. A negro named J. M. Sparks who re cently forged an order from the Armour Packing Company to Van Cannon & Co., of this place, was to-day captured and brought back from Reidsville, where he had fled. The failure of Mr. B. A. Brown, a merchant and tobacco manufacturer, of Knoxville, caught several Greensboro gentlemen. Mr. L. T. Bristow, who has been clerk to President Lash, of the C. F. and Y. V. Railroad, has accepted a position as book-keeper for Messrs. Dalton, Farrow & Co., tobacco manufacturers. MERRY DANCERS ALL. A Brilliant New Year’s German at Fayetteville.

As a nervine, Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. By promoting digestion and assimilation they overcome that gastric disorder, which is the most prolfic cause of nervous debility, and which, so long as it exists, defeats in large measure the action of sedatives and opiates. Such remedies, moreover, necessitate the use of increasing doses, and fiually cease to act altogether, except iu dangerous quan tities. They never reach the fountain head of the trouble, and quiet the nerves only by semi-paralyzing them. Equally objectionable are fiery unmedicated al coholic stimulants Kidney, bladder and liver trouble, malaria, constipation and iheumatism are relieved by the Bitters, which also promotes appetite and nightly repose.
