1 LEGISLATIVE OUTLOOK.
! Butler is elected unanimously United
State Senator in place of Senator Ran
som. Bn tier is a master of Radical as
semblies. He is a verv admit and suc-
.- cesstui party leader, tie' succeeded in
getting his own party swallowed, "and
then mounted the back of the Radical
"Whale and rode it safely into the Sena
torial port for which for some years he
-.had been striving. Butler must have
considerable ability, certainly; of a
managing kind, or he could not ' have
accomplished his end with such pro
nounced success. That he is a danger
ous man we suppose 'everybody j be-
' lieves.' His career has been most i ex
traord mary. His reputation among
gentlemen is not high, and not many
men of -intelligence confide in him, and
still he is on the topmost wave now
and will be . able to; keep
. fusion" fused and solidified .until
1896. i By that time he will
be so completely identified with the
Jteoublican party North and in i the
Senate that their wavs will be his ways
7 He is already reported as saying that
the silver question amounts to nothing.
Hisgang of followers will follow him to
the end, and the Democrats will be con
fronted with a party ' as destitute of
"statesmanship and usefulness and bless
ing as Radicalism wus in the palmy,
stinking days of Holden, Littlefield and
Company. - . ' ! ; :.
1 1 That there is an element of genuine,
fire-tried , Radicals who ' do not desire
fusiOa ia true now. ' But they are pow
erless to help' themselves. Butler is as
much Boss' in that gang of mcapables
as Tillman is in South Carolina or Hill
ever was in New York,
The plan to make legal interest 6 per
. cent is npt wise. A man can put his
money in a cotton, mill, a railroad, a
store, a plantation and he may make 10
( or 20, pec, cent., or indeed all he can,
I and that is tolerated, is regarded as all
rieht and the law does not attempt to
limit hU operations. Bat if he chooses
to hold his money and htlp others by
lending it, there are penniless wiseacres
who hop np and say, have a law to
'limit interest to 4 or 5 pet cent. It is
Calculated ' to keep money out or to
direct it into other channels, it is no
more "usury" to lenc money at 8 per
cent, than it is to buy a pair oi snoes
v for $1 and sell them for $1 35 or $1.50.
A resolution to elect United States
' Senators by the people has been intro
duced. rne messenger lavors sucn a
change. It ousht to be done and shut
but millionaire Senators who get in by
bavins? Legislatures. At another time
we will discuss it at more leneth. The
! Electoral College should be wiped put.
i Russell and Ewarfc-are the two ablest
Radicals, but thev are some how j not
"fin the swim." Then there are Mott,
.Pearson and Ddckery all abler men
that Pritchard, we take j it who have
no chance, present or prospective, at the
rich office cheeses.' And let us not for
get our stranded friends Capt. Buck
and Kurnel" Skinner, who lately left
the Democrats and we hope are very
' sorry for the folly. It is hard toj be-
lieve that brave Capt. Buck is in close
x back-stairs fellowship with the old
' , 'fmoss back" and ''fire-tried Radikils"
!, of Holden's time and with the swallowed
remnant of the wildcat schemes of 1891-
92. We must hope yet that I he and
some others now- training with Capt.
Butler and his Radical gang will help
the old and true Democracy,
the State in 1896. . I

VIS THERE A UItT IN THE CLOUD?
f The bill on currency introduced by
Senator Jone is1" thought to (possess
many good .features, and there are tbose
who regard it as even a better bll than
the amended Cleveland-Carlisle bill. It
provides fpr $500,000,000 of 2i per cent
bonds, which are to bd paid in gold and
to be used for meeting current expen-
. ses and for Tedeemmg United, j States
and Treaury notes. The bill will also
provide for the issue of bank notes to
take the place of the Treasury notes in
suaf! way as not to produce a contrac-
: tipa. of the currency. Another! proyi-
sion is that the; national banks shall be
allowed to issue upto their pari value',
and the tax on national bank circulation
is fixed at one-fourth of 1 per cent.
fin the interest of silver the bill pro
vides for its unlimited coinage5 under
the condition tnat the holder of ; silver
bullion may take it the mint and have
itcoined into silver dollars, the Gov
ernment retaining as seigniorage the
difference between the coinage value
of the bullion ajnd its value on the day
t that the bullion is taken to the mints.
i - - !
- The bill also provides for the with
drawal from circulation of all j green
backs. Treasury notes and national
bank notes below $20, and the substitu
tlon of silver certificates in. denomina
tions'of less than $20, which are to be
payable in silver. The bill-, will con
tain provisions providing against either
and ue inflation or contraction, i
Such a bill is perhaps in the nature of
a compromise, but we doubt its success
in passing either. body or in receiving
the President's approval. 1 It ia a bill
that may placate the silver men and
win those who believe that it is; neces
- sary to any proper solution of the finan
cial situation to cancel greenbacks and
Sherman Treasury notes, and in this
way by a sort of compromise a peace
- may be patched up and financial legis
' lation secured. : Bat it is very doubtful
indeed. The able Washington Tost
favors the bill and says of it: j

PAN A. ON A TREE PRESS. I
The venerable Charles A. Dana, of
XT rl,- . .
uxo new ioTBaunt ia a gTeat news,
paper editor arid a man of extraordinary
ability as a journalist His political
methods are very uncertain, arid he has
done a great deal of harm to the Demo
cratic party that he now and . then sup-
in a most remarkable way. Bis
newspaper style is of the best in. this
country, He is now about 74 years of
age and stands at the head. He is well
preserved, well off in worldly goods,
and as eager for the fray now as he was
at 45. He made recently an address be-
fore Cornell University on the
press, and it has ' been ; printed
in full, but we have not seen' it.
He said, ;, of course, quotable and
clever things. Among them was
a reference to newspapers published for
"fools." It is understood, that his
thrust was ' meant for the World and
Herald. Dana sees a "revolution" in
newspaper ' making and declares that
the changes are "very radical." Doubt
less, arid itis very sure that the general
yalue of newspapers in 1895, is less than
in 1875. In twenty years there is de
cay in tone and excellence of news
papers as is seen by Northern, Southern
and English editors. Mr. Dana said
this:. -
'I would not be understood as mean
ing to intimate tnat there is anytmng
unworthy in making a newspaper for
fools, since there is high authority for
the statement that fools form a large
part of the community, and it is per
fectly right to provide for them in
newspapers. We see that this is yery
conscientiously performed byvery able
individuals, and I haye heard that they
make money by it"
He gives some excellent advice and
talks wisely of "the value of the free
press," which he rightly holds is not
'sufficiently appreciated in his coun
try." So far from this some boycott
newspapers that dare to hold opinions
upon public men and measures, differ
ent from their own, and are ready to
put a gag upon the press at every
turn; 1 Mr. Dana said with evident
solemnity of feeling and conviction -of
mind:
"It is only some particular circum
stance, ' some .unusual occu rrence, that
can make it rise clearly before the eyes
of us all. I don't know that I can state
it ' with sufficient distinctness, but in
my judgment the highest function of
the press is that at last it forms the
final barrier which stands between the
people and any gross wrong that may
be attempted, by a dominant party or
by a ruling public favorite, if such a
circumstance should ever happen, and
liod grant that it may not, the mission
of the press, lifting its voice in1 defense
of the constitution and in defense of the
spirit of libfrty, will be recognized : and
the free press will be appreciated as the
defender of the public welfare, of the
Constitution and liberty itself."
He gave to journalists some maxims
for guidance. They are six and we
give them: , !
I. Never be in a hurry. . , j . ;
II Hold fast to the Constitution.
III. Stand by the Stars and Stripes
Above all, stand for liberty, whatever
happens. - ,
IV. A word that is not spoken never
does any mischief.
'V. All the-goodness of a good egg
cannot maxe up lor the badness oi a
bad one.
VI. If you find you have been wrong
don t fear to say so.
NORTH CAKOLLVt NEWSPAPERS
The News-Observer was out on Sunday
in an eight page issue. That particular
ilumber showed" improvement, editori
ally. '
The Messengeb .failed to notice the
Rockingham Index when it began busi
ness. It is the best newspaper its town
has had, and we are surprised to learn
that the editor, Mr. A. S. Dockery, a
nephew of "My Son Alfred," is but
17. years - old. He is making a very
creditable weekly.
The Oxford Ledger is now seven years
old. It is one of the best of the State
weeklies. It gives the news and is a
Democrat all the time-. It does not
"wobble" and says it has no patience
with the compromiser, trimmer, coward
and time server. And that is just
wnat every: true Democrat feels and
every paper should say. A paper .should
be something. V.
The (iastonia aazette is m teen years
old. It asserts its right to live by its
good selections and scholarly editorials,
and especially its Hebrew learning and
I its avoiding die use of an before certain
words as Shakespeare and some hundred
eminent English authors have done.
We like the Gazette and its editor does
good work often, t
SHARP j AND PlitVTS.
Some amusing things happen in this
world. The South is a standing sub
ject for New England sneers and un
favorable comment. A recent article
in the Forum by a Professor in Johns
Hopkins University turns oh the light
as to the education in-Boston. Prof es
sional experts examined the children.
Rev. Dr. Hiden, of Richmond, Va. ,
who read the article gives the results in
the Richmond Advocate and it is amus
ing enough to copy:
'Fourteen per cent of these Boston
children had never seen the stars, and
had no ideas about them, 35 per cent
had never oeen out oi town, per
cent did not know that milk came from
cows, 55 per cent did not know that
wooden things came from trees1, from
13 to 15 per cent did not know green.
blue and yellow by name, 47 per cent
had never seen a pig, 60 per cent had
never seen a robin, from 13 to 18 per
cent did not know what 'cheek,'
forehead' and 'throat' meant, still fewer
knew the meaning . of 'elbow,' 'wrist
and 'ribs,! and more than three-fourths
bad never seen to know them the
common grains, trees o): vegetables
growing. And yet Boston is a great
center of intelligence. Come South,
Mr. Hall!" ; .
Any of North Carolina's public
school attendants can head-off the
benighted Bostonians any hour. . : '
At Jackson, Miss., last week, the cot
ton growers' convention met It was
admitted that King Cotton had lost his
septre and crown, and yet his subjects
hold a parliament and various plans
a- in in i mil ! ' , i 1
ri8t0riAD2 r3eSt gl0iy
cussed. Among the speakers was Gov.
Stone. HeVareued wisely that the cot-
ton mills muse come to the cotton neius
. i i p .1 j
and that high prices for cotton were no
more but a thing of the past This is
probably true as there is no prospect
that the cotton growers will cease to
plant too much. It was resolved to
form a permanent organization, and a
resolution was offered by Mr. Pipes, of
Louisiana, against dealing in cotton. fu
tures and calling on members of Con
gress to support the Hatch bill. An
other was offered by Mr. Robinson, of
Tunica, providing for the establishment
of cold storage ; houses at convenient
places in the various counties
jTew York isxthe " promised ; land ' for
Journalists. They are higher paid there
than any where, else on the globe. Capt
King in the Forum, states that "one
editor-in-chief has. the same salary as
the President of x the United States,
$50,000 per year, and others receive
from $10,000 to $12,000, more than
members of 'the CabinetX Managing
editors are paid from $100 to $150, per
weekr, or a better compensation than
that of Senators and Representatives in
Congress. Editorial writers get from
$50 to $75 per week as a rule, and in
cases of rare ability as much as the
average salary of a managing eaitor.
City editors receive from $60 to $75 per
week, and in a few instances $100. The
pay of news editors is about equal to
thatjof city editors." Copy readers get
from $40 to $45 per week. : Musical and
theatrical critics get $50 per week as an
average. Reporters average $40, some
getting as high as $60.
Hypnotism Is attracting much atten
tention because of its dangerous abuses.
When rich women are" hypnotized and
made to marrv the manipulators and
other crimes against society are com
mitted by its use, it is surely high time
that the abuse of hypnotism was treated
as a crime and severely dealt with by
pxe courts. The jurists in the North
are more than ever satisfied that there
is criminal abuse of this mysterious and
subtle agent. Five hypnotists in a few
months have been tried for criminal
abuse of their power. The Philadelphia
Record gives the result of these trials,
It says: .' . .. '
"in two of the cases the excuse was
accepted by the presiding judges as
valid evidence of non-responsibility of
the prisoners; and in one truly surpris
ing instance the actual, self-confessed
criminal was discharged and his accused
hypnotizer placed under arrest. Alto
gether hypnotism had become a singu
lar phenomenon m modern jurispru
uence.
"Legalized hypnotism is said to be
to-day as general in this country as it is
ln
F rance, and to be the direct suc-
cesser of 'emotional insanity.
THE RADICAL LEGISLATURE.'
The hands at the capitol are stil
wanting every day "some new thing.
The last is, they desire a gag law. A
fence law would be better, as the Con
sbiiutidh and precedents are in danger,
The action in the Senate in regard to
Pitt county is absurd and unwise. It is
to reduce the bond of the sheriff $20,000
so as to enable him to make a bond. This
tod because of inability to make a1arger
one and a better one. Senator Adams
distinctly stated that he had "been in
formed that the bond was made up o:
irresponsible bondsmen, and the sure
ties were not worth much over their
exemptions. The bill was far reaching
in its effects. I It virtually repealed the
general statute. It abrogated all laws
to favor this sheriff." We saw no
answer to this. Make a lawto fit the
inability of the elected official is noW1 a
specimen of Radical Senatorial wisdom
in good old North Carolina. The hnds
have less sense than people -generally
hoped they possessed. It passed in
whoop. What a body of Solons. Nearly
all Lilliputians.
THE FRENCH PRESIDENT.
The resignation of President Casimir
Perier of Francois a surprise, but under
the' circumstances it is a wise and
patriotic step probably. He is a man
of high character and excellent abili
ties, but is not popular. He is unfairly
dealt with by the Chamber of Deputies
Me sees dangers ahead not . of his pro
yoking, and he has no power to control
them. It is perhaps his noblest act to
"step down and out" and let some other
and more popular man attempt a solu
tion. --France after twenty-four years

steady dribbling of long stock by this

of confirming the report, but the action
of the stock of late rather confirmed this
