T lie ew Bond Igoe.
Thf?re are conditions which the
opponents of the bond issue ig
nore and an act of Congress wnich
they overlook. By reason of the
fact that the receipts have been so
continuously and so largely bel&w
the expenditures the caeh in the
Treasury has become reduced to a
point which threatens'the solvency
ot the government, and those
chaiged with the maintenance of
the public credit would be held
responsible by the people it noth
ing should be done to avoid a dis
aster that would be seriously felt
in every section of the country and
felt by all classes of the people.
Tnere is no way to recoup the
Treasury in time to insure its con
tinued insolvency except by bor
rowing, and, when the faith of the
government is involved,the people
will not inlorpose technical ob
structions to its preservation nor
condemn those who successfully
maintain it. The emergency is
imminent and must be met, with
or without h w. When the fiftieth
Congress failed to respond to the
call of the Executive for the pass
age of an act to provide for the
payment or the refunding of th 4
per cent, bonds, then on the eve
of maturity, Secretary Windom,
without the authority of law, find
ing justification in the emergency
that confronted him, issued bonds
in exchange for those maturing to
the amount of $250,000000, bear
ing 2 per cent, interest. Strict
constructionists complained of
that act, but the administration
received the commendations of the
people.
But there is a law on the stutute
book that may very ' properly be
invoked in justification of the ac
tion of the administration in issu
ing bonds at this time. The
Sherman act, which authorized the
issue of Treasury notes in payment
for silver bullion, and made these
notes redeemable in gold oi silver
com, contains this provision :
holder of any of the Treasury
notes herein provided for the Sec.
retary of the Treasury shall, undei
such regulations as hs may pre
scribe, redeem such notes in gold
or silver coin at his discretion, it
being the establiahed policy of theican fcdl)ce six'ee" "V? COt
United States to maintain the two
metals on a parity with each other j
upon the present lgal ratio or such
ratio as may be provided by law."
This law makes it obligatory upon
the Secretary to redeem Treasury
notes in gold or silver coin at his
discretion. That obligation car
ries with it the authority to pro
cure the coin. Mr. Bailey admits
that bonds may be legally issued
under the act of 1875, but denies
that the proceeds ean be used, un
der authority of that act, for pur
pose? other than redeeming United j
States legal tender notes. The
Sherman act requires the Secreta
ry to redeem Treasury notes in
coin, and admonishes him that it
is '-established policy of the Unit
ed States to maintain the two met
als on a parity with each other un
der the preseut legal ratio." How
can this established policy be car
ried out if the Secretary shoald
neglect to mantain a sufficient
stock of gold in the Treasury to
meet all requirements in the way
of redeeming ' United States legal
tender and Treasury, notes upon
presentation ?
Aside from the wisdom and pol
icy of soiling bonds at this time to
maintain the public credit, the
Secretary admittedly has authori
ty to issue bonds under the re.
sumption act, and, bVing under
compulsion to redeem. Treasury
note, as well as Uuited States le
gal.tender notes, in gold or silver
coin, at this discretion, ha has au
thority, under the Sherman aot, to
apply the proceeds of the sale of
bonds for such redemptions, to the
end that parity between the two
metals may be maintained, and
that the "established policy of the
United States" may be successful

Inventions Needed at Ibe
The common field-pea wheth
er the cow-pea, clap-pea, the un
known pea or other variety is the
clover of tha South. It will grow
where clover will not. Tr will
furnish more forage than clover
and will improve land moro rapid
ly. It can be sown, when d-sired,
in a crop of corn.and thus improve
land without losing a year's use ol
it for cultivation." At the North
the paa is coming into wider us4
( in lien of clover) fur forage and
as a land improver. This will fur
nish a glowing market for peas, as
they will not mature seed there.
Thejgreat drawback in the laising
of peas for saed is the great cost of
harvesting and beating them out
At the North, where"" bean are
largely raised, they have satisfac
tory bean harvesters and thresh
ers. Southern inventive genius
has always been equal to the de
mands upon it. If some one will
iuvent a satisfactory pea harvester
and a goj)d pea thresher he will
not only make a fortune for him
feelf. but he will bring back fertili
ty to the South. It will increase
ten fold the growing of field-peas,
besides making a new crop for u
to ship to the North. These in
ventions will stimulate the grow
ing of field-peas, just as the inven
tion of the rotton-gin stimulated
the increased crop of cotton.
Then, too, a good pea-nut
thres' er is baely needed tor the
peanut crop. Picking off by hand
is slow and expensive, and none of
of the peanut threshers invented
so far are satisfactory. The break
and shaiter too many peanut.
The price of cottou does not. bid
far te go up. The new area add
ed every yar in Ttxas will a n
tinually overbalance the world's
increased consumption. Then
there is the steadily increasing
production in India, Egypt and
Brazil. In Mexico the cotton plant
livci eight years and produces two
crops a year. Production there
has heretofore been small, o.ving
to lack of railroads and reliable
labor. This is being remedied.
To compete with a country which
ton from one planting is like us
ing a mnzvle-lcader against a six.
teen-shooter. Besides, all coun
tries south - of us, irrespective of
fertility, aqd no matter how rich
we shall make our lands, have the
advantage of us in the length i f
the season. We cannot overcome
tbe disadvantage of our short sea
sons. Cotton in North Carolina is
doomed, sooner or later, to disap
pear as a market crop. AVe can
substitute many thinsrs. Grass is
very profitable if the land is made
rich enough, because it takes so
little labor. Two weeks out of
the fifty-two onewetkin June to
mowond one week later to bale up
is enough, while cotton or tobac
co reauires the vear round. The
field-pea offers the advantage of
abundant forage, a steady improv
er of our lands, a good fattener for
cattle and hogs, and a crop to ship
North. The drawback in the great
expense of harvesting and prepar
ing for markel should be overcome-
The South will reward with wealth
and honor the man who will fur
nish the harvester and thresher
that will enable us lo increase ten
fold this crop.

New England preachers of a
hundred years ago were given to a
great plainness of speech. Oue of
them, the Rev. Jos. Penniman
while settled in Bedford, Mats.'
and afterward, while pastor of the
church in Harvard, acquired no
utile reputation for what the his
torian of Harvard calls his "irrev
erent way of offering information
to the Omniscient." At the time
when the British troops wero ad
vancing upon Lexington Mr. Pen
niman prayed from his pulpit :
"We pray thee, O Lord that
Thou wouldst send these British
soldiers where they will do sr me
good, for Thou knowest we have
no use for them about here "
During a season of drought he
prayed eloquently that the Lord
would '-vouch-safe that the nottla.s
of heaven may be uncorked and
their refreshing waters poured up
on the parched fields."
Soon the drought was broken.
Day after day the rain fell. The
minister ftlt that the gord work
was being overdone. So he prayed
again :
'We did ask, O Lord, that Thou
wouldst uncork the bottles of,
heaven, but we sought not that
Thou shouldst throw away the I
stoppeles."
At another time th? orchards of
Harvard were devastated by in
jects, and the minister put up this
petition :
'We pray, O Lord, that Thou
wilt take pity on us, and remove
from our midst these veracious
canker worms, tor if Thou lookest
ever this town Thou wilt see tlm
every apple tree is as red as a foxU
tail' Youth's Companion.

Henry Watterson and the rest cl
the Democrats who appear to think
that last week's .ratadysni has ob

more gloomy than tho tacts war

ured by the Democratic majority
which it ov3rthrewand the Bepub
hcan majority whhdi it rolled up.
maiked the most extensive and
overwhelming defeat even inflicted
on any party in a Congressional
election. The partisan pendulum
swung farther than it did in 1842,
I8i4, 1&S2, or in 1590. Measured
from the depth of the ebb to the
height of the flow, last week's tidal
wave was by far tha lofti&9t and
most sweeping political billow in
all our history. No Democrat
whom we have heard ot, however
despondent, has over-estimated the
immediate disastrous elects upon
his party of that mighty snrge. In
regard to its ultimate effects, how
ever, some Democrats are entirely
astray. Cheat national parties are
remarkably tenacious cf lite.
For many years, during the civil
war and the reconstruction period,
the Democratic party appeared to
be at heath's door, and its obituary
was often written, but it rallied
eventually, captured the House ot
Bepresentatives in 1674, the Sen
ate four years later, and the Pres
idency in lS4.
A party which survived seces
sion may well be considered im
mortal. Its extinction for such a
venial folly, comparatively speak
ing, as a blunder on the taritt is sr.
grotesquely improbable that even
the most despondent Democrat
will laugh at the notion a year or
two hence. No party has a mon
opoly of the popular favor. Pow
er brings responsibilities which no
organization ever yet formed was
arile to meet satisfactorily always.
It, when the Republicans regain
complete control of the govern
ment in 1696, they fail to meet the
popular expectation, however un
reasonable that expectation may
chance to be, they will be driven
out of Congress in 1808 and out of
the Presidency in 1900. Lt. Louis

One of the saddest death? we
have ever had to chronicle, wa tha
death at her home in Pok county
lat Sunday of Mrs. M. A. IL.ustoa,

ing here for same months, Mr
Houston bought a pleiidid farm
near Columbus, in Polk county,
and on a beauhful location on it
he erected a magnificent resid.-nce,
which was fitted up with all tie
modern improvements and ele
gantly furnished. Here the in. a
lid and his wile took up their resi
dence. Soon, however, death
claimed the husband and the child
less widow was left alone in har
sorrow. 8he had not a blood re
lation on earth, and soon afthr her
husband's death she di?mias?d h"r
rervants and lived by herself, he
heart breaking with gri.;f and lone

Then she dressed hsrsslf ne.tfr

self. While they were here, Mr. and
Mrs. Houston met Dr. T. B. Twi.t

wry greatly attached to him. The
