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

Th decision of the Supreme Court will
perhaps drive the most of them oat of

pioyed an unmitigated curse. The
decision of the court is "that contracts

which allowed them to charge fines,

and the court takes occasion to t-V
that a law passed after the passage of
the interest law, at the instance of the

no man or set of ' men are entitled to

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

dramatic talent evidently of a" high
kind, whether he succeeds ' a! a play-

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

English with a French name, if we are
not mistaken. -

elist, is now Mrs. George Riggs. She

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.
