MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1S91.
Tubv are talking some of rainier, of
Illinois, for the democratic nomination
in 1892. Well, were it not for liis age,
Palmer would run like a quarter horse;
and ninybe he would auy way.
Mk. Mill's cauld not do anything
else but refuse second place on the ways
means committee. He was right in
that, and perhaps Speaker Crisp was
right in what be did; but that remains
to be proven.
lly a vote ol 39 to 17 the English
holders of Virginia debt bonds decided
to accept the agreement effected bet wren
the Virginia state debt commissi in and
the Olcott committee for a settlement ol
the Virginia state debt.

Favcttcville Observer; A suit has
been brought to test the question ns to
whether a majority of the qualified vot
ers tit Cross Creek township voted in
favor of issuing $20,0(10 in bonds as a
subscription to the capital stock of the

CONTRACTION OF CRKDIT,
Contraction of Currency NoiIiIiik
to It-KzeiuptloiiH.
From the Ckatham Record.
A very great deal is laid nowadays
about the "contraction ol the currency,"
and much complaint is made about it.
Many schemes are suggested for stopping
this contraction. But while so much is
said about the contraction of the cur
rency, very little ii said about the con
traction of credit, and yet the latter is
a far greater evil than the former. This
is readily perceived when we state that
,92 percent, of all the business of the
- country is done on credit, and only 8 per
cent, with actual currency. Therefore,
it is a forcible illustration of the old say
inR, "Saving at the spigot and losing at
the bung." when so ninny schemes nre
being suggested to stop the contraction
of the currency and nothing is being
done tostop the contraction of credit 1
Po man can deny that there would be
more credit among our people in their
daily business (and therefore less need ef
actual currency) if our excessive exemp
tions were abolished or reduced, and a
man's property be made liable for his
contracts. Why then not remove this
chief cause for the contraction of credit
in North Carolina ?
ed, he was gaining considerable popu
larity as a minister.
Besides his pastoral charges he left a
wile and seven or eight small children,
four of whom have since died, and it is
said that the neighborhood physician
attributes the deaths in part to the in-
I ability of the mother to proicrly provide
and care lor them, as the unnatural hus
band and father wns their sole depend
ence for suppnrt.
Blankenship came back to his father's,
where he wus arrested, claiming that he
had secured a divorce from his wile and
had married the "part ncrol his flight. "

: Mr. Elkins is a conspicuous type of the
politician for revenue only; the man who
makes of public office and of political
connections the means of promoting pri
vate business undertakings. He is of the
kind that sees in legislative and in ad
ministrative work only an oportunity
to make himself rich; whose associations
are with those who regard gnin as the
highest object of human endeavor, and
who look upon the government as a leg
itimate patron of his enterprises.
