2 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. it Pays to be a “Kelortm r.” 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.” It may save you time and money to be informed that,* when you need a blood purifier.
