Ihc fofcm Courier. PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY C. H. Horton. - Owner & Manager, ' HERTFORD. X. 0. p.HE pOLLAR A JeAR IN DVANCE. WEDNESDAY, - July 24, 1805. A Populist school committee in Join son county employed an auc tioneer to let the public school to the lowest bidder. It was knocked off at about .$12 a montli, says a , correspondent ot Jthe bin it h held Herald. The first bale of new cnra from Texas, and was shipped to New York, and sold for cents per pound. Cotton is on the upward move, and it.is hoped that it will be a good price when our farmers get ready to sell. The following is said to be an assertion, made by John Sherman. It may be that he said so, but ,ye will wager the assertion that it -won't be safe to offer it to him : "If all the people of tlie United States should join - together .and offer it (the presidency) tome, I would not accept the position. ! At the International Convention, of the Christian Endeavor Society, held in Boston, the number reach ed 5,000. The object of this society is to unite the Christians of all denomination, and their motto is, "The World for Christ." We have seen some of the workings of this socfty in" this town, and : there is , nothing in it to prevent harmoni ous union, or militate against anv denomination. It will been seen from the fol lowing, taken from Hie St. Louis Globe-Democrat that Texas is in the boat, in the way of something to eat : No matter whether school keeps or not, "Texas for the next VI months is jrointf'tn have chunks oM)n.M)ii in the pot and plenty of hoe cake on the skillet. It is already assured Unit the corn crop will be the bluest ever raisfNl in the .State, while variou localities are braicriii!? on thelar output of oats and hay. The University Facu'-y consists of eightoen full Professors and ten Instructors and Assistants. They are all skilled specialist in their departments, many oft !iem having received their training at the bes;'. American and European univer sities. Contact with such men not only produces culture of a high order but gives .inspiration also to noble endeavor by setting before students proper standards of ex cellence. Congiessman G, Y. Cooper is quoted- as saying: "In Indiana 1 know hundreds of men who have been free silver men, but who have declared themselves for sound money. On the other hand, I can not recall one instance inwhieh a man has favored sound monev and has then gdne over to the free coinage of silver ata rat io of 16 to 1 without anv restrictions as to an international agreement. The South is Jot sound money and for low tariff, and it is a no ticeable fact that those men who are and have been raising such a muss about silver are dropping off fast. We think that before '96 comes in, and, with all that comes with it, silver men will be scarce, They will be like a certain Popu list who wanted to be one of the Senators from the First District; they will be left out when the two old parties make their nomination. The St. Louis Republic says: "With an annual expenditure by the government of .$143,000,000 a year for pensions and a Treasury deficit of $43,000,000, the Repub licans of Iowa are still crying for more pensions. They demand a pension for every man'who fought the Confederacy, even though it should bankrupt every other man in the country. Is this the plat form on which the Republican party expects to carry several Southern States next -ear?" From a circular sent out by the Weather Bureau we learn that this division of the Agricultural De partment of our government costs annually $849,522.55. The Bureau does useful service sometimes, particularly in saving small truck ers from frosts. But more fre quently it barely manages to tell the people in the cities that cold or hot weather is at hand or how much rain fell yesterday and where the Wow" area" ought to be.1-It fs a question with us whether practi cal benefits of such inform&tioir are realized to a considerable ex tent by any one anywhere. S;ofar as helping the agricultural classes is concerned, we know the farmers of North Carolina place moreicou fidence in the moon and their' own common sense; and. they, get along about as well as their would be instructors who spend their time experimenting" and writing pamphlets. Bibical Recorder. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, D..C, July 22, HS)5. Verily, the summer 'madness is on those who are jumping all over Sec retaries Olney. Carlisle arid Herbert and Attorney General Harmon, who attended n special cabinet meeting last Friday afternoon, because they declined to tell what was considered at that meeting'. Since when, pray, has it been the custom for members of the. Cabinet to take newspaper; into their confidence to that extent ? There are reasons good ones for keeping secret for the present the business of that ''meeting and abuse will not change the.'in. A bit of -the same sort of business is the '.abuse heaped upon Comp troller Bowler, because he has noti fied a, beet sugar company of Nebras ka that he has doubts of the consti tutionality of the Act making an ap propriation to pay sugar bounties, and requesting them, through their lawyers, to present arguments on the subject. Mr. Bowler is: only per. forming his dut. In a decision in a suit brought to compel payment of sugar buntj' the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has declared the bounty law to have been, in its opinion; unconstitutional. What then is wrong about Comptroller Bowler demanding to have his doubts removed before approving the pay ment of public money? That is ex actly what the office of Comptroller exists for. , A business man from New York thus sizes up the political outlook: ''The prospects of the Democrats are brightening all the time. Anybody who doubts that statement knows but little of what is going on. Wages are being advanced, mills are run ning night and day, and American manufacturers, thanks to free raw materials, are beating their European competitors in the most distant mar kets of the earth. This is proof positive that with equal chances as to material the manufacturer of the United States could not only hold his own against the foreigner, but could drive him off the field. Ex Secretary Whitney is. I think, the strongest man the Democrats could nominate for President." Secretary Olney was asked when he came to AVashington the other day if the President had given any consideration to another issue of bonds in the near future. His reply was short and decisive. He said: "Such a thing lias not been consider ed by any member of the adminis tration. In fact, there is no necessity for such consideration, as the fi nances are in good shape, there is plenty of money in tlu; treasury and the gold reserve is all right' Surely that ought to be plain enough to stop the silly bond story, started for the purpose of doing harm, but of course, it won't. Some people would rather lie any day than tell the truth. ' V. - .' ' ' " - :V;" "? .,i , ,. , . . pr r y ., " I . . S 1 , Jr., B. E. ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER, HERTFORD, N.
