HAD THE GOLD CRAZE
AN INSANE MAN WANTED TO
SELL GROVER A JOB LOT OF
TIIE PRECIOUS METAL.
THE INCOME TAX DECISION.
Reported That the Supreme Court is
Divided as to its Constitutionality—
Justices Field and Cray Expected to
Read a Di'sentinjt Opinion—Ex-
President Harrison Has B'-come an
Enthusiastic Bicyclist—The Depor
tation of Negroes to Liberia.
Washington, D. C., April 2.
Aa infirm man loa led down with
yards of brass chain, his coat and hat
faitiy covered with cheap gewgaws,
lugged a heavy big up to the White
House portico at 8:30 o'clock this morn
ing aud asked if the President’was still
baying gold for the Treasury. He
claimed to have a job lot of the precious
metal which he was willing to let at par.
He emptied the bag. which contained
nothing but brass castings and tin clip
pings, inside the big front door, and
drew from his pocket a lump of glass,
which he offered to part with for $15,-
000,000 in United States securities.
Then the patrol wagon took him away
to the uearest precinct station house,
where he gave his name as William La
very, his age as 85, and said his home
was in the asylum at the Little Sisters of
the Poor. The police department con
fiscated most of his treasure and told
him the gold reserve had been fully re
plenished.
“How would the people of Washing
ton like, to see Harrison
mounted o:i a bicycle, and das ing
along Pennsylvania avenue ? ” t nquired
Louis Osborne, of Indianapolis, lud.. at
the Metropolitan. “Perhaps if Mr. Bar
rison ever returns to the Capital they
will witness this sight, for he has taken
to the wheel, and it fits him as easy as
wa'e: fits a duck. Ho has become an
enthu i?.st on the subject of bicycling, aud
almost on any day the ex Presi
dent can be seen seated on a wheel and
picking bis way through the streets of
Indian tpolis as unconcerned as others
who have taken to the bicycle for health
and transportation. All of bis household
also have the fever, and Mrs. McKee,
Mrs. Dimock. “Baby” McKee and Kuth
McKee have been supplied with wheels,
which they ride with grace and dignity.''
Senator Gordon, in bis lecture toar
through the West, Is carefully refraining
from talking politic-*, and says the only
.subject upon which he can be inter
viewed is the industrial affairs of the
South Iu this connection, he says:
“The South presents a singular ex
ception to the rule applying to other
sections of the country. In the period
of depression it has f urn'shed no tramps,
Coxeyites or strikes. Poor as we are,
we are not poor ia the sense of being in
want. There is no suffering for the
lack of clothing or food. This marvel
is due to the fact tint after the war we
began life anew, and every one knew
that he had to make his own living or
starve.
“We are more independent than we
were ft/e years ago. The fact that we
could not borrow money has been a god
send to us, and, though we are ia debt,
it is not to the extent that exists in
Kansas and other sections of the Union”
Wh n concerning the proposed
depoitation of negroes in large numbers
to L ; beria, he said:
“The colored population do not want
to go, and we want them where they
are. The recent increase in the price of
cotton has brought some relief, but not
much, as it came too late, the people
baring already parted with their crops
In the future our people will diversify
and intensify their farming; that is,
they will raise more on their f arms thau
in the past. The South is getting on its
feet, and the marvel is that they did it
with the conditions that confronted
them ”
There is deep interest here in the de
cisiou of the Supreme Court on the in
come tax. The court is reported divid
ed
Those who believe that the law will
be sustained entertain the opinion that
the decision will be icad by Chief Jus
tice Fuller, and that in all probability
the dissenting brief will be read by either
Justice Field or Justice Gray. But this
impression lacks authoritative founda
tion. Those who predict an adverse de
cision fix upon Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices Sniras, Field, Harlan and
Brown as the members of the court who
believe the law unconstitutional.
Many believe that the clause taxing the
salary of Federal officers will be declared
unconstitutional. The precedents of the
darts would seem to expect such a con
struction. If this exception shall be
made, will not the judges be open to the
criticism that they have so construed the
law as to tax others and exempt them
selves?
Lieut. Lemly, of Salem. N. 0., is here,
having arrived from Columbia, South
America. He has been detailed to that
country fir some time to give military
instruction.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
tor any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed in the spring, when the lan
g»id, exhausted feeling prevails, when
the liver is torpid and sluggb>h and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more surely
in counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache, in
digestion, constipation, dizziness, yield
to Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per
bottle at John Y. MacKae’s drug store.

Col. Olds in Wilmington Messenger.
It is reported here that Daniel L Bus
sell, t v .e eminent Republican lawyer and
Advisor to the fusiouists in the Legisla
ture, made no less than $7,000 in t e
way of fees during the late session. He
was a busy man and in his room at t'ue
Park Hotel kept a type writer and sten
ographer sb adily at work.
More Evidence ol Manipulation.
Salisbury Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Mr. J. H. McKenzie, one of Rowan’s
Representatives in the past legislature,
was in town Saturday and says he can
not account for the appointment of Row
an’s magistrates by that body. He had
several good Democrats—Mr. C. H.
Bruner, of China Grove, Mr. D. R.
Julian, and one or more others—appoint
ed, and their names were on the list
when it came from the committee room.
These names, he thinks, were erased and
othets substituted afterwards by the
Fusion gang, just as they manipulated
other bills.
“His Piety Tested.*’
Under this caption, the American
Hebrew, printed in New York, says:
“Devotion to the cause whereto he
was attached was eminently a trait of
John A. Broadus, of Louisville, Ky.,
lately deceased. His early life, so like
to that of the ancient disciple of the
Talmud, was consecrated to the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary.
“At the close of the war the seminary—
then at Greenville, S. C —was in a
deeply impoverished condition. Dr.
Broadus stood unflinchingly by the
apparently tottering institution, al
though too poor to provide any but the
barest necessities of life for him
self and his family. Their only fare was
the coarsest, cheapest food (corn-meal)
that could be obtained, Aud this when
his services would have been prized and
munificently rewarded by many a
wealthy congregation, North and South.
That was indeed, ‘plain living and high
thinking,’ beyond the thought or dream
of the Brook Farm philosophers. There
was a man of w r hom his fellow-religion
ist might well be proud; iu whom all his
townsmen, Jews aud Gentiles, reposed
the utmost confidence; for whom they
fell the highest veneration and profound
est respect.”
