It we dennt four for tbe two iat months of 189- and add fifteen failures for tbe last two months of 1898, we have thirty-eight such fail ur-s for 1890. This, in itself, shows the insecurity of the National banking system to provide for either safe places of de posit or tbe fornishinsr of money in tbe shape of discounted paper in all parts of the country.

From the beginning of the law es tablishing Nationals, from 1803 up to November 1, 1890, there have been 330 failures, or an average the Comptroller says of ten a year. This, compared with th thirty-eight failures for tbe year lb'Jli, shows that he system is growing vastly worre as a means oi painty to depositors under tbe conditions under which we are laboring. Out of these failures, from the causes assigned for failure, by fat the greater part are confessed to be due to money stringency, or such causes as are a part of that more or les annual trouble. Money stringencies would forever end under a eoveroment branch bank of discount plan. L kewise would all bank failures end, and the government's solvency would be the solvency of the banks. Rascality is rampant enough un der the present pystem. It would be greatly dr creased under the stricter methods in vogue in our Treasury Department; in all proba bility a government system would prevent pretty much all rascality Mr. Eckels says that nearly every theory evolved in connection witb tbe business cf banking has been tried and its development attemjted since banking began under the pres ent government. He n m errr on the largest point of all; branch bank ing at cost on the muiual plan, here advocated, has never been tried, ex cept in a minor degree by our build ing and loan association?, which are not included in the Comptroller's Department. Bat, abroad, the mu tual plan of banking in behalf of the people has been in FUi-cestful opera tion for the past forty years, and there it has proved itself, by incon trovertible statistics, to be the saf est, tbe most satisfactory, and the mcst beneficial to those concerned of any other extent. Tbe plans that have been tried in this country have been iu behalf of usurers.

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. The caucus then dicued the situa tion generally and finally decided to imue an address to the people. It was formulated and entitled : Addren to the Vot'rg of the Vfr' Party of Sorth Carolina : It has been the purpose of both tbe Democratic and Republican parties to destroy the organic existence of tb IVoplei part), and nurlife is endanger d by the too friendly touch of either. The majority in refusing to vote for Mr. Pritehard has stood for tbe pre nervation of the basic principles upon which alone the People' party can live, or deserves to live. Yet when tb majority cf the caucus would not yield to in minority it is charged with at tempting to defeat c -operation with the Republican party in order to rive the State over Into the hands of the Democracy. We are confronted by erioiiA conditions. The election of Mr. Pritebard. the cgndidateof Hanna. Sherman and Wall street, to represent the silver sentin.ent of North Caro lina In tbe United States S-nate dis covers a startling crisis in the hUtorj oi tne reopie s party, lie could not have been elected by tbe votes of those who called themselves Populist, and at a time when they could as easily hove elected a Populist. Populist who fail in a critical hour to stand for Populist principles are not the Popu 'ists in whose hands and under whose 1 adersbip the principles of tbe party can be carried to victory. When tbe People's party last sum mer refused to enter into a contract to support the caucus nominee of the Republican party for United States Senator regardless of his position on be financial question (even though tbe Governorbbip might have been irotten in return for euch a pledge, tbey then laid their plans to secure the votes of enough individual Popu list Senators and Representatives of thU legislature for such a Senatorial candidate in spite of and in defiance of the Peoples Party organization. To accomplish such a resulc it was neces sary for them to find some one or more nay feed and fall of millions? i'ertala 4 fsUws f tbe bee ort had boib4 lbeales io aab that they wrusild b.4 h -st and drmk of lb b-ttoty of the 4p-IUre the land until ibey bad aill4 Paul. hll we allow I his to b don, or shall we draw ih liner W rannul rs b-.th (u4 and mammon.

The allies and satellites of this arch traitor inside tbe organization played tbeir parr, and by tbeir acts uncovered themselves to tbe world yesterday and to-day.

A Train Held Up, Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21. A special to the Constitution from Columbas, Miss., says: "The west-bound pas senger train on the Southern R -il- toad was held, np near Berry, Ala., about 7 o'clock tonight, the robbers stealing several valuable express packages and two or three jags of liquor. This is tbe same place where a eimuar robbery was committed December 16 -h last, and it is sap posed that this robbery was commit ted by the same parties.

L Tbe vessel is a total loss, and the crew consisting of nine men were drown. A fierce gale, accompanied by heavy. driving it ni, prevailed at tbe time, and it was impossible for tbe men to get ashore or for tbe people who gat b eredonthe bach to aid tbem. Tie Stornw the wildest tbat baa oom'red tuis wliiur, and tbe vessel and crew wer edoomed the moment she went ashore. Those who tood by saw one of Na ture's great tragedies iu all its awful sublimity. Tbey agonized as tbey watched tbe fury of the Storm King. but tney were powerless to ata toe noor fellows In tbe sea. and tbe mad wave made short work of tbem.

Failing in this, as we pl ag our con stituents they shall, their next move, which has already been planned, is to breed dissensions in tbe rank and file of the party at home.

I recommend tbat there be established a thorough system of supervision for onr public schools. We must b-ve eome means by which to preserve in full vigor tbe leai interest la onr publie schools.

Wby have onr country people been Unking to our towns, eeoeclally for the last tea years How may we may be fined not lets than fire dol lars nor more than twenty-five dol lars for each offence, and said monev to go to the nse of the publie schools after the expenses cf prosecution Mostevry one knows that the dogs in this State is a gr-at annoy anee as well as a pleasure.
