" I I THURS DAY MAY 23, 1895. -' FINANCIAL) SIGNS. PostmkstLr Smith at Anniston, Ala., drum med-up eleven goldbngs to hold a meeting The hall was filled, and when it was annnouced that it was not an honest money meeting bnt a gold gathering, the crowd left and the hall became nearly empty. In Ohio, a dispatch says, the gold men are afraid of an early State Con vention, 'j Texas bankers held a meeting at Gal veston and resolved against "independ ent free coinage of silver." They de clare: 'That we heartily indorse any effort toward securing the free use of silver as a money currency at a fixed ratio to gold by agreement among the leading commercial nations of the world through international treaties." Coin and Laughlin had a money dis cussion at Chicago on 17th. Coin said that the United States should open the mints to silyer at 16 to 1. The most significant action that has been taken for -ome time is that of the Prussian Diet one of the greatest bodies in Europe. The other day the Upper House indorsed bimetallism and favored the restoration of silver to its former monetary place. The Lower House, as reported in yesterday's Mes-SENGER,-.bya large majority, has passed the resolution of the Upper Chamber. The vote was overwhelmingly favorable, more than jtwo to one. There is great im portance to be attached to this movement in Prussia. The movement for a return to silver is on. The Chicago Inter Ocean is one of the greatest American newspapers and is Republican to the backbone. It says of the action of the Prussian Diet as to the restoring of bi metallism both silver and gold: "There is no more intelligent legisla tiye body in Europe than ; the Upper House of Prussia. It is not merely composed of hereditary lords. Leading manufacturers and producers are among ita momKora rwxrinrr i Vini r aAnfa fVlPTT prominence in business, and, what is more, the ten great universities of PruS' sia each have representation there. So do the large cities,5 as such. It has a complex and varied membership, the purpose being to make it representa tive of the kingdom at its best. Do the production, the industry, en terprise and the business generally of tne present day want one money metal or two? That, ancr that distinctively, is the issue.! It does not concern Amer ican politics only orj mainly. It is greater than politics or than anyone country. The -United! btates and uer- many are by no means alone in it. Great Britain is also jsteadily moving in the direction of bimetallism." Close observers in North Carolina know this: that outside of the towns -frlH i t cry ton white men favoring gold only that in the towns and villages there are few gold men and but few-not perhaps more than one in ten, if so many. An election in this city if held, and every one allowed to vote as he prefers, would result in all probability in a majority for the honest money of the Constitu tioiL both silver and gold of at least five to one it may be ten or twenty to one. So it is not surprising to Eee eveiy member of the Democratic State Executive Committee who were present at the session at Raleigh on Tuesday last, with but one exception, was for free silver and at a ratio of 16 to 1. They but voice the overwhelming senti ment of the Democracy of North Caro lina. If Mr. Paul Means had voted with his party in the Committee we would have been surprised. HOME FOLKS. The planting of corn is very back ward, and crops have been injured such is the bad -news from all around. On 22 nd May, at 8 o'clock a. m., the mercury stood at 55 in this town and fires and overcoats were needed. It was $100 per acre for rent of some tobacco lands ten or fifteen years ago to which the Messenger referred, when farmers made from $200 to $600 an acre, and not to late years, when the prices have generally ruled low not more than a third of the old prices. This is to correct an impression of the Smith field Herald. Our esteemed contempo rary is in error as to the authorship of "Trilby." Da Maurier is the real author, and he is indebted to a French author in the long ago for the name. There has been but one author who could have written Du Manner's unique creation. - . What a grand success the unveiling ceremonies were. It was indeed a day to be proud of. North Carolina has been a conspicuous maker ot history, but she has been indifferent afterwards in honoring her noblest, most eminent sons. At last after thirty years of si lence and inaction she has spoken, and acted. Think of 15,000 tickets on the railroads alone, and the thousands who must have come horseback or In ve hicles. Then Wilmington was so ex- cellentlyrepresented.and its military and musical display was so good its three companies and two bands. Then there was the well written,tastefuL impressive ora tion of our o rn Waddell, deliver ed in his own pleasant, engaging way, and all praise it. And then Raleigh was hon ored and graced with the presence of ex-Governor Curtis H. Brogde,n and Sentor-elect Marion Butler. WW their political status and affiliation at present are is unknown to us. Time will show where the Senator will stand, but how long he will stand it will take a prophet to telL ; The Legislature the Fred Douglass txt ot the stupid-fegiven a blow to tha building and loan . associations. Th decision of the Supreme Court will perhaps drive the most of them oat of business. .The 6 percent, law will be pioyed an unmitigated curse. The decision of the court is "that contracts made by building and loan associations, which allowed them to charge fines, penalties and premiums, areusurirms, and the court takes occasion to t-V that a law passed after the passage of the interest law, at the instance of the building and loan association people, and upon which they were relying (al though not directly "before the court in this case), cannot confer the power to charge, by , way of any device a rate of interest greater than. 6 per cent. ; that it would be in violation of the "Consti tutional inhibition, which declares that no man or set of ' men are entitled to separate or exclusive emolument or privilege.' " It is said that a plan o lending money on insurance policies for seven years will be resorted tdj but no definite agreement has been made as yet ' ' A MONUMENT FOR VANCE. A well known North Carolinian wrote to us recently concerning the delay, the indifference of our people in contribut ing to the erection of a monument to the late eminent Senator Zebulon B. Vance, the most popular and one of the greatest men ever born within our oor ders. We have been pained to see the neglect, but cahnot-say we are disap pointed. A year ago,' not long after the noble and gifted citizen had been laid in his grave, the M essences urged that immediate a$d earnest action be taken then to raise the needed sum, while the hearts of the people were pro foundly sympathetic and appreciative, and they might be responsive to the claims of admiration, gratitude, loye and patriotism. We had seen in the case of Gen. Grant how the ardor cooled and the patriotic flood subsided and how the money for the monument at New York, our greatest city of nearly 2,000,000, with Brooklyn and 1,000,000 more of people to help, did not. come forth.. . . '-L. Will North Carolinians refuse to help rear a monument to the great War Governor, the noble patriot who never flnched, the man of the people, our noblest and truest Tribune in peace and war? Shall that be? We trust not. Then let the needed sum be raised with out farther delay. Our correspendent tells how this may be done. He says: "I am quite sure the seeming neglect is not from a want of love. Then what is it? May it not be from want of some well organized effort? If so, then who can make this effort more successful than the noble and ever powerful and devoted women and editors of - the State. I trust you will at once call at tention to the necessity of doing this grand and much desired work at once." We trust the good and true women of North Caiolina will take this matter in hand in every town, village and jhamlet and neighborhood and raise all possible for the Vance monument. In two months $10,000 or more can be raised if the women will only will that it shall be done. Act at once. Let some active. sympathetic, loving soul take hold in every community and set the ball in motion without. delay. . The newspapers of the State will aid in this good work, wx5 may not doubt. genuine pleasure to help to erect a noble monument to the man who so well served North Carolina for forty years. LITERARY GOSSIP. ' The necessitv of careful selection in books read was never so great as1 now. lhe multiplication of books is enormous and especially novels. They count by the thousands annuallv. Chambers1 (Edinburgh) Journal says that in Great cntain three new novels appear each day upon an average and 200 reprints of novels. The last is no doubt an ex aggeration. Do not . waste precious time over .bad noyels or poor theolog ical works or trashy books of any kind. Marion Crawford delivered recentlv at Sorrento, Italy, an address on the poet Tasso and "in. the most perfect Italian." He thinks some of the great English poets Milton, Byron and Wordsworth were indebted to - the author of "Jerusalem Delivered" fnr suggestion and bias. He thinks that "Manfred" and "Cain" were inspired to some extent by Tasso's poem, -as was Milton's "Paradise Lost." It is hardlv probable as to the latter, we would think. Mr. Crawford ROVS' "All this has nothine to do with the instinct of imitation. Great poets do not imitate each other, but thev mutu ally inspire each other reach each a hand to the other, to the greater elorv of all the complex of human poesy." : lhe April number of The Bookman severely damned "The Princess Aline," but the May number has another view- that it Is a success. It thinks Mr. R. FL Davis wins his way by his ability, for he is not iifced by his literary contempora ries in tne .North, The reports in The Bookman for May of the sale of books in the leading cities of the North show that "Bonnie Briar Bush," "Trilby," "The Manxman," "Prisoner of Zenda," and "Lilac Sun bonnet," still have a leading sale. "Prin cessAline," "Chimmie Fadden" "Hnnnr of Savelli," and "Beyond the Dreams of Avarice," outsell the more recent novels. "Coin's Financial School" leads by far all other books. "Degeneration," "Social Eyolution" and "Foundations f Tlif are haying a good sale. Kipling is writing a plav. He is to go to India to write lor the Cosmopoli tan, rie is a very rare genius and has dramatic talent evidently of a" high kind, whether he succeeds ' a! a play- wngm or no. :;: ; ; Think of an English newspaper call ing him Jane Maclaren. Ignorance is not peculiarly American." Another ex ample is found in' the famous London Saturday Review, It takes the serial in Harper on Joan of Arc seriously as an old historical work ' translated. . It is known to be the work of some London author-guessed to be either Mark Twain or ZangwOL . Gait was a famous Scotch novelist in the long ago. Bos novels are to be repub lished by the Blackwoods and anno tated by Mr. Crockett and revised and edited by Mr. Meldrum, author" of that clever little novel, "The Storj of Mar SredeL Sir. Richard la Gallienne la young author of gifts both as poet and story, writer. He is very handsome and is English with a French name, if we are not mistaken. - Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin, the nov elist, is now Mrs. George Riggs. She is a native of Philadelphia. George Macdonald has a new noyel nearly ready. ..." Miss Francis F. " Montresor has : met with a decided success m "Into the Highways and Hedges." Mr Stephen Crane is a young Ame: can writer of verse who is much praised, but why we do not know. TheBook man pronounces him to be highly gifted that "competent critics ver that his command of the English , lan guage is snch to raise the highest hopes for his future." We have read extracts from him and we confess that the sain; plea did not allure us. We give our readers some specimens ' of -this writer who is treated to two articles in one number of a maga zine so highly is he estimated. Read the following and judge of their ex cellence. They are from different poems and have been selected as invit ing samples: . "Two or three angels v Came near to the earth. They saw a fat church. Little black streams of people ' Came and went in continually. And the angels were puzzled To know why the people went thus, And why they stayed so long within. "I saw a man pursuing the horizon ; Bound and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. 'It is futile,' I said, , 'You can never' " 'You lie" he oried, And ran on." 1 We give two other specimens: . "Digging the gullies Around in tne grasses, It truly belongs To the working glasses." "The first bear I ever met in the Adiron- dacks i Had such a paw i And such a iaw As did my courage sorely tax." That passes up North for poetry; The yarious North Carolina poems are not so inferior after all whenr judged by the Crane standard of excellence. " Mrs Reennald de Koven's novel is thought to be "gloriously. disappoint ing," so The Bookman says. It has neither "wit, wisdom nor wickedness." What a contrast between Crane and LeGallienne. The latter has an Elegy on Stevenson. In it are such fioe lines as these: "High on his Patmos of the Southern Seas Our Northern dreamer sleeps. Strange stars above him. and above his grave Strange leaves and wings their tropic splen dors wave. While, far beneath, mile after shimmering mile The great Pacific, with its faery deeps. Smiles all day long its ilken secret smile." "Not while a boy still whistles on the earth, Not while a single human heart beats true. Not while Love lasts, and Honor, and the .Brave, Has earth a giave, -O well-beloved, for you !" FRANCHISES IN THE CITIES. QBE T The franchises of great American cities are squandered. Instead of farm ing them out at reasonable, remunera tive rates, or having the cities to run their own railroads, light their houses and stre and so on, they are bar famed On tn mmmniao ' J small charges- Dr. Albert Shaw, who edits iw American edition of Review of Reviews, has written a book on British municipal government. He states that "it is almost the universal testimony in Great Britain that municipal gas enter prises are a brilliant success. They have steadily reduced the selling price and largely increased the consumption. He says the price in 'the towns varies from 50 to 75 cents per thousand feet. All of the great European cities Berlin, Paris and others pay to wards the municipal expenditures from 18 to 20 per cent, derived from their grant or byx running railroads etc, themselves. . : From an article in the Century we gather a few instructive points bearing directly on onr subject New York pays $800,000 for public light ing alone and yet getssubstantially nothing for the franchises it has granted." The only American towns of importance that own their own gas works are five, three of which are in Virginia. They are Philadelphia, Rich mond, Wheeling, Danville and Freder icksburg. In 1893, the gas companies in New York made dividends amounting nearly to f 4,000,000 on some $46,000,000 of supposed capital stock. The Century says that in ten years gas consumers in New York "have not only contributed such dividend (10 per cent) but a fur ther amount sufficient m fact to nearly duplicate the present system of gas supply." The net earnings of the street - rail roads in New York for 1893 were more than $5,000,000. They paid in taxes and franchises less than $400,000. The gas, electricity and railroad' companies in the city made in 1893 in net earn ings over $14,000,000. They paid only a small sum for the franchises. The dock department shows similar results high profits to those with fran chises and small pay to the city. The Brooklyn Bridge in 1894 received in gross earnings $1,326,598.55. These hgures are at least suggestive. Mr.. W. H. Harvey, a West Virgin lan, author of "Coin" makes $1,000 a day with his books. Be sure to read his second also, called "Up to Date. The demand for his first book is by the 100,000 copies. Mr. Carlisle estimated tha deflripnnv for the present fiscal year at $20,000, 000. It is already more than $50,000,- wu. tie is a very bad guesser as well as leader. mm Easily. Qalckiy, Permanently Restart.
