Tub gold, produced in the United States during 1890 is 2G per cent of the total produced in the whole world for that year. Two more war vessels have been ordered by the Secretary jof the Nav to Florida to patrol the coast and pre vent filibustering expeditions go'mg to Cuba: This great vigilance is made to keep Americans from violating the neutrality laws with Spain. ! Thb government of Spain is said to be almost bankrupt and that a new ministry will Boon be! inaugurated . Spain has troubles at ho toe and with out the aid of the United States or -fiome other power will never be atlt- I - ' . to crush out the insurgent! army - in Cuba. Cuba should and ought 'to be free. . In 1896 there were captured and destroyed nearly 2, 0QO illicit whitkej distilleries Most of these were ia the Southern and Western States. The increase of the revenue tax from 00 cents to. 1.10 per gallon has in creased rather than diminished the illicit distilling. A tax of 50 cents on the gallon would raise about at much revenue as the present tax and I w' juld almost entirely stop the illicit stills. Tub Steamer Commodore, which as gained some notoriety as a fili buster by carrying arms and ammuni tion to the Cuban insurgents, sunk twenty miles iff the coast of Florida last Friday night. She was loaded with a cargo of arms for Cuba "and had her clearance papers in proper ah ape when she cleared from Jackson ville on Thursday. All "her crew were saved. It is bad lock for the ciubans .to lose this cargo of arms so caaiy neeaea tor tapir, cause. Tub General Assembly kl forth Carolina meets in Raleigh to-day. ThU tession.will be one of great in tercet to the people. The republicans and populists have control of every branch of the State government now for the firsttime since 1876. The situation is somewhat peculiar. The republicans can do nothing without the aid of the populists and these two parties differ radically in their plat forms. There are some populist mem ber I who will oppose the re-election of Senator J. C. Pritchard but enough of them will support him to send him baokto the United States Senate. Hii election is almost absolutely cer- 'L . v.- : tain. V- James Creklmas, a correspondent of the New York Journal, is now in iSpain. He writes the Journal that ' there is a conspiracy between the v Spanish government" arid President Cleveland and . Secretary ,Oiney to crush the rebellion in Cuba. The people of the the United States are inj sympathy with the Cuban insur gents while thePresident is secretly negotiating with Spain to crush them Nevjer in the hiatory of this country has the chief executive and the people entertained views so radically different? If the Journal's correspondent's state ments are true, Cleveland will, go down in history a traitor, condemned by his own people. Is another column we print an ar ticle from the News and Observer by Mr. T. M. Robertson of Randolph county who has a position in the In-, terior Department at Washington D. C Mr. Robertson has found that for every citizen from other states that mives to .his state to lire more thanJ ?five citizens of this state move to oth er states. How long this condition wtll 'uxihtno one is able to tell. North Carolina is one of. the, best states io the Union. She has the best and ! most peaoeable class of; citizens and has many advantages in other respects. Her people as a rule are content, with their burrouDfngs. She has had no . sensational looms and thjs may be one reason for so few e.mtcrrnu fmm nk I " e " v,l"s NORTH CAROLINA LOSES 6C3 NATIVES', FOR EVERY ONE HUNDRED NEW COMERS. ; To the Editor: A statement was nade some time since, by the New York Sun I think, that in North Gar olina, in 1890, there were only 3,508 foreign born persons. This sta e ment is correct, but some of the news papers of the State have misconstrued it, and have stated that there were only 3,568 persons who were born outside the. State. Thinking tha ?our readers might be interested to know where all the North Carolinians go when they leave us, and how many persons from other States have made our State their adopted home, and where (hey came from, I have gath ered the figures from the Census Re ports and give' them as follows: In order that it might not be mis understood, I wish to say that when I apeak of foreign-born persons, I re fer to those born outside the United States and that in speaking of native born persons I refer to those born id the United States, but not necessarily in North Carolina. In 1890, there wre 1,617,813 persons in the State. . Of this num ber 1,614,245 were native born and 3,568 were foreign-born. Of the 1,614,245 native-born . 1,561,469 were born in North Carolina and 52,776 were born in other States. O the 52,766 persons born in other States 17.578 came from Virginia; 16,072 from South Carolina; 4,816 from Tennessee; 3.307 from Georgia; 1,090 from- New York; 990 from Pennsylvania; 581 from Alabama; and 2,990 from places in the United States not specified. This leaves 5,344 from all the dther States and Territories, and their' number from each State variedfrom 400 from Mis sissippi to 1 each from Wyoming. Idaho and Washington. There were none from Arizona and Alaska. Of the 1,014 245 native-born per sons in the State 1,051,720, wert white, and 562,525 wsre colored Of the whites 35,891 were born it other States, and of the colored 17, 065. The whites came principally from our neighboring States. From Virginia, 10,61, from South Caro Una 9,087, from Tennessee 4,523 and from Georgia 2,845. New York gave us 1,069 and the balance camt from all over the Union, except Ari z na and Alaska. 'Of the 17,055 coUred persons who Vere born in other States 6,985 came from South Carolina, 6.933 from Vir ginia, 1,358 from places not specified, and the other 1,789 from the ' othei States. There were 2 from ioy Maine, 1 from lovely California and 1 from the wilds of Montana. - While other States furnished ut with 52;770 persons, we gave them 293,404 of our own people in return Of those we furnished other States 178,004, were white and 116,400 were oolortd. We gave Tennessee 25,019; Texas.l7;325; Georgia 15, 895; Virginia 15,057; Arkansas 12, 90.O; Missouri 11,'954; Indiana 11, 558; South Carolina 10,869- Ken tucky 6.006, and Kensas 5,065 The others were scattered in every State and Territory of the Uuion. The smallest number of white North Car olimans in any State is 20 in Ver mont. The negroes who left us went prin cipally to the pine forests and cotton fields of the Southern .States. Our largest contribution was to Mississip pi, which State got 16 585; Georgia got 15 300; Virginia 14,185; Arkan sas 11.741; Louisiana 9,444; Tennes see 7,614; Alabama 7,520. Texas 7,512fl3out.h Carolina 5,455, and Florida 3.511. The balance, like the whites, were scattered throughout the Uuion. The smallest number was in Snowy North Dakota, where there wero 4, and there were 5 each in South Dakota and Vermont, It will be observed from these fig ures th3t for eveiy 100 persons we get from other States we give 563 of our people in return. If we make the computation for each race separately we find 100 white accessions from oth er States cost us 505 of our own peo plo. ani that for 10i) negroes we give in return 682. :. The facts above furnish food for deep inflection. The ascertion. often heard that "North Carolina is a good State to get away from" is partiallv 'confirmed by these figures. At some o.her time I hope to draw some con elusions from thef-e figures, and to offer some suggestions as to tie best means ef stepping this 6o?t of ruinous trading T. M.

' A reader of the Charlotte Observer recently fnrnished the following sug gestions to the editor of the Observer, which he published and give . them below!. Some of them contain some - i good points and we reproduce them for the denefit of our readers: 1 Repeal the 10 per cent. State 'ank tax. Assuming this done, then that it is desired to start a bank with 200,000 capital, require. 2 That 25 per (jent. of the capital be kept in gold in vaults for redemp tion purposes. r 3. " Permit 75 cent, to be invented in approved State, county or munici pal bonds. j, ' ' 4. Permit an issue in currency equal to the par value of the gold and the bonds. 5. For an increased issue of cur rency require the deposit of ' more bonds equal in par value to the amount of additional currency desired to be issued. 6 Or for an. increased issue re quire the deposit of good real estate mortgages to secure an additional issue of notes to the extent of 50 per cent, the face value of the mortgages 8. Tae value of real estate mort gages to be certified to by county tax asessors under oath 8. Make stockholders in the issu ing bank liable for 100 per cent, as sessment on the par value of their stock in the bank, and also for 100 per cent, on their pro rata part of any extra issue of notes over and above' (.he capital stock of the bank. -9. It quire a tax of of 1 per oent on all extra issues to be paid to the United Stetts government and make all banks subject to inspection of a United States inspector, who -hall report to the Comptroller of the Currency. M Let the United States govern ment reserve the. right to require any bank to retire within a giyen period its'extra issues", of currency whenever it shall be deenied to be -unsafe- or whenever the notes shill be deeded to be unsafe. .11. Let the United States gov ernment have the right to close up any bank when it shall fail to redeem its notes in gold or when it shall fail to keep 25 per cent, of its capital stock available an gold for. redemption, purposes. W ATE R BENEFICIAL IN TYs VilOlD FEVER, . The Bacteriological' Review com mends the practice of water drinking in typhoid fever, 'the importance of sutjecting the tissues to an internal bath having, ic appears, been brought prominently to the notice of the pro fession by M-Debove, of Paris, be lieved by some 1 to have been the first to Fyatematjze cuch a mode of treat ment. The practice of that eminent physician consists, in fact, almost ex. filu8ively of water drinking, his re quirement being that the patient take from five to six quarts of water daily, this amounting to some eight ounces every hour. If the patient subsists chiefly upon a diet of thin gruel, fruit juices or skimmed. milk, the amount of liquid thus taken is to be subtract ed from the quantity of water. The important thing is to get into the sys tem, and out of it, a sufficient amount of water to prevent the accumulation of ptomaines and toxins within the body. 67opious water drinking does not weaken the heart, but tnoourages its action by maintaining the volume of blood; it also adds to the action of the liver,' the kidneys and the skin, and, by promoting evaporation from the fckin, it lowers the temperature . Scientific American. Some time ago "The-Journal" re ferred to the liberality of the South rrn States in the matter of negro edu cation, showing that they had apppro priated nearly S0, 000, 000 to negro school sicoe emancipation, and' that more than 95 per centof this sum had been paid by the whites. We stated in that article" that the South is inevi- iaoiy committea to two propositions: First, the support of negro schools by general taxation; second, the separa tion of the schools for whites and ne groes. Under this policy 40 per cent of the illiteracy among the negroes has disappeared; over 27,000 negro teachers have found places in South ern schools, and their number, as well as the number pf negro pupils, is steadily increasing. We also called attention to the fact that there are in the South, besides the common sohoolj for negroes, which every Southern State maintains with increasing liber ality, 16U institutions -fer the eeconda ry abd higher eduralmu of negroes . iDcludiog ibi,t -two coIUge? iauta Journal. ' t. London 7Itsrsi1le lToincn. - General Booth; commentiag on the case of an elderly woman who recent ly poisoned herself rather than enter a workhouse, says he calculates that there are at least 5000 women in Lou dun, above 50 years of age, who have no dwelling save the streets, or wherever they can find a shelter. Iu I the season, says the London Mail, they pick up a living by doing odd jobs about Covent Garden or the other London markets. . At other times they wander about the "ity in the early mornings; gathering out bits of rags from the tubs of refuse that are put out of from warehouses for collec tion by dust oar ts. They collJot from the same receptacles the cast-out tea leaves for - another brewing, when they are lucky enough to get a little hot water. Or they eke' out their Wretched existence by doorstep clean ing andfir e-lighting, or occassionally sell watercress and the like. The wandering crowd is made up of broken-down widows, deserted wives and a few of the gaunt survivors of another' class. Each goes her own despairing way, but .all are united with one passionate hatred of( the workhouse. P"or such poor creatures the Hanbury street shelter for women is provided, and Salvatioi army hopes soon to be able to open a like shelter at the TFest End. t ' Preachers in Carolina. .

The following is. an interesting comparison: "Suppose 4hat a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year and also sells this 'to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great por tion of them saying: 'I will hand you a dollar in a short time.' " The farmer does not want to be small, and says 'all right.' 'Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone and he has nothing to show for it, and ho then realizes he has fooled awy his whole crop, and its value is due in a thousand little driblets. Subsequently he" is seriously embarrassed in business be cause his debtors, each owing him one dollar," treat it ae a small matter, and think it would not help much. "Con tinue thi business year in and year put, as the publisher A a newspaper does, how long does he stand it?" Press and Printer. Corn is only nine cents a bushel in Nebraska and many farmers are using it for fuel to prevent it from ruiniDg from the damp weather. Oaly a year ago there was almost a famine ia that state. Now they have corn to burn. ADMIN ISTRATOR' S N OTICE ! Having qualified as Administrator of Alexander.
