STATE DAXKK.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United State in regard to the 10 per
cent. Ui oa State bank notes vim.
Mr. Henderson, observes elsewhere, to
the effect that the courts could not inter
fere with aoch an exercise of the taxing
power of the Federal Government.
Whether the real object vu to obtain
revenue or suppress Mate bank notes
the coart had no right to inquire. Take,
for instance, the tax on oleomargarine.
It wi intended to discourage the manu
factnre of the article for the benefit of a
rival pmdact. The tax on oleomargarine
has, boweTer, yw-lded some reTenne, and
it ia Dot impossible that the tax on State
bank was intended for the ume pur
pose.
i He OMistitutionamy of the tax on
State bank notes b no longer in ques
tion. Still more certain is it that Con
gress has the power to repeal entirely, or
partially modify, the tax. This would do
more to relieve the country of the money
famine from which it is suffering than
roold free coiuage or any other plan yet
proposed.
Hut in view of the wild-cat notion.'
about money which exist in some sec
tiru of the country and amnng many of
our people, there are many misgivings as
to tne wisdom of totally repealing this
tax and jvnnitting a grneral revival of
the State bank svstem. Hut thesw fears
are entirely unfounded. The State batik
system could easily be put upon solid
ami ware a ba-U a4 w the National
banking ytrm. North Carolina has a
law' which do. thU and at the same
time prov'uh-s an abundant anil elastic
carreocy. As to Mates winch are not
dLpoed to pronrrlv secure their notes
the law could tie
aou-nded so as to ex-
empt from its op rations only those State
bank issues for the redemption of which
l ampl security should lm maile by a re
serve sprcie or the d-it of intere9t
paying bonds, on the principle of the
National lxnk system. Tliis would not
be a dM-nmination aaiat any State
nor au invasion of its rights, but a tax
upon irwcurw carreney, no matter
wbrnre it might Usue.
It must also be rrroembereil that with
the invention of the telephone and tele
graph it is now easier to find out the la
condition and standinz of a bank in San
Francisco or New York than it was thirty
years ago to U-srn the standing of a bank
in an adjoining couutv. There is no
reason w hy the State bank notes issued
in North Carolina should not be good in
New York and vice versa. And under
good State banking laws thej would be.
THE PEOPLE HATE COSFIDESCE
The anti-administration crowd keep on
howling; nothing will satisfy them. A
short time ago it was the appointment of
Collector Simmons and District Attorney
Aycock; that has been done and they are
discontented as ever. They and the
Third party gang are running together,
but they are doing little or no harm.
The people are confident and things
are growing brighter. They have confi
dence in Mr. Cleveland. They realize
that during his first administration he
gave the country the best and most pros
perous government it has bad since the
days of Jefferson, and left, when he went
out of oSce. a full Treasury and a feel
ing of confidence. The raas of the peo
ple are willing to trust bim. They made
him President because tbt-y believed in
him. Now they do not propose to con
demn him without a fair trial
Every patriotic citizen will do all in
his power to aid the return of prosperity
and restore a feeling of confidence and
content rather than be forever finding
fault. To criticise is easy, but it is the
part of a patriot to help build up and
make U tter.
A 8ERIOI S OBSTACLE.
No ot is fonder of talking about the
financial question than the Populists.
They know everything about money
exrrPt what it Is. It is not the least
serions obstacle to sound finance in this
country that those who have more opin-
ions to the square inch on the subject
than anybody else and who most vocifer
ously proclaim those opinions are pre
cisely those who do not know the a b c
of finance and, what is worse, will not
take the trouble to enlighten their own
ignorance.
President Cleveland is securing ex
cellent public servants from the avaiUble
lwnu.nii. material in this State, as
witness the appointment of Hon. F. M.
Simmons as Collector of Internal Reve
nue, and C B. Aycoek as District Attor
ney, for the Eastern District of North
Carolina. "The selection of these very
able Democrat will meet with instant
anoroval from all part of the State,
where the ability, energj nd high pub-
lie spirit of these two men are well mown
and fully recognized.

1 ou cannot judge people by their ap-
pearanoe here. A new door-keeper at
one of the sessions of Congress a few
years ago stopped Mr. Butler as he was
entering the door of the Senate Chamber,
and said:
"Hold on. This i the Senate Cham
ber."
'I am Senator Butler," said the gen
tleman from South Carolina
"No, you don't," said the door-keeper.
"Don't you think I know Ben Butler
when I see him I "
"I am Senator Butler, of South Caro
lina, you fool." he said, and be pushed
the door-keeper aside and walked into
th? Senate Chamber.
"If anything should liapju-n to Secre

iKiurtment. Mrs. Carlisle knows finance,
law and politics. She is as much inter
ested in matters before Congress as any
member of that body. She is a frequent
visitor to the Capitol galleries, and reads
financial books constantly. . She knows
national politics and politicians thorough
!y, and is an authority upon all the polit
ical history of Kentucky. Her husband

ters and says that her theories are often
better than his own. She keeps the run

fresh and bright story
The recently published statement that
Miss Pollard, who is sueing Congressman
Breckinridge for breach of promise, was
the daughter of a harness-maker suggests
the fact that one of Washington's most
prominent and beautiful women, whose
name is familiar to the readers of society
columns, was likewise of similarly res
pectable parentage. A somewhat giddy
young scion ot an old and aristocratic
house became enamored of a face and
uu I
form which he observed one dsv on the
-v. - rf i
streets of a town which he was visiting.
An introduction was secured. The fact
that the girl's father was engaged in
manufacturing harness and other things
for horses did not dampen the new-found
ardor of the youthful blue-blood. He
lost no time in declaring his affections,
hich were reciprocated by the young
woman with an equal degree of youthful
fervor. The two were wed. The young
man's parents were shocked at the mis
alliance; the stern father proceeded in
regulation manner to disown his son and
heir.
The young husband soon ran through
his pocket money and then began to cast
about for employment. His principal ac
complishment had been handling baseball
bats and pursuing the nimble foot balL
But this had given him a stout right arm.
He bad no false ideas of pride and sta
tion. So be surprised his wiles rather
one nay by announcing his determination
to learn the harness trade. He quickly
mastered it. The young harness-maker
went to a distant State and began busi
ness for himself.
He prospered. His wife won friends,

But be was travelling one day, and he

who are familiar with business demands

SEN'ATOB TCRPIK 'S ARGCMENT.
Different from most of the eloquence

was the speech of Mr. Turpie, which hadl
for its inspiration the need of harmony
in the Democratic party. Financial
troubles he treated as a light ripple on
the surface of events, which should not
be allowed to disturb the tranquility of
Mia nnranifinn nirtiMilarlv in vioir of
' '
the t benefiu the era of Democracy
was to bring. Mr. Turpie held the Sen-
ate closely, and particularly the members
of his own party, by the matter of his
speech.
Mr. Turpie opened with what he called
a study of the history of money for the
i.t ion vpr arwi .,,,1 that it w. not

labor was paid, was base, spurious, and
dishonest. Whatever he mhrht think of
the value of the gold reserve in the
Treasury, he was loath to have it looted
by the banditti of the gold trust. It was
contrary to the traditions of the syndi-
cate, and to its mysterious law of aggre-1
gation, for the syndicate had long ago
said, all gold is mine.
He thought that there srjould be a re-1
monitization of subsidary silver coin in
the interest of the wage earners. One of I
the strongest obiections to the Bland act
was that the standard silver dollar (the
j-, m - -
money in which skilled labor was largely
naidl was dishonored, and had not the
full value of money because it was not
legal tender. To-day, said Mr. Turpie,
gold is brought to the mint; silver is
bought by the Treasury. The act of pur
chase was itself a discrimination against
silver. The ever-recurring test of "pur
chase" was the vice of silver circulation
It placed on silver coins the mark and
brand of bondage, like the collar around
-
the neck of Gurth, the swineherd in
I van hoe,
It destroyed the parity of the two met-
als and of the two moneys. He was in
favor of the coinage of silver free and I
without mint charges. He was prepared
to support and had always supported free

the aliquot proportions of gold, silver,
and notes that were to be in circulation,
that was a question of secondary impor
tance. It was necessarily a temporary
question and one wholly of expediency.
It had occupied a share in public atteh-

The Doctor assured the President that i
Mrs. Cleveland was doing remarkably
vell, and that he need have no anxiety
regarding her. Then, giving him a
hearty grip of the hand, he warmly cou-
gratuated him, and with a finger on his
lips softly opened the door of Mrs. Cleve
land's . room and admitted the anxious
husband.
Fifteen minutes later the President
reappeared, his face reathed in smiles.
H reouested Dr. Brvant not to commu-
nicate the news to any one in the house-

to his desk with as much nonchalance

At 2 o'clock the President concluded it
would be af to tell th nuhlic what had
Uw. - .n.ned Mr. TtaLfftiffilrJ
and imparted to him the news, with the
suggestion that it be sent at once to the
members of the Cabinet and other friends
of the family.
Private Secretary Thurber was the
coolest man around the White House af
ter the news had been spread throughout
the mansion. - Nevertheless he looked
very important as he rang up the several
departments over the telephone and gave
the President's advisers a brief bulletin
announcing the little stranger's arrival.
The news then spread like wildfire.
The private secretaries of the several
members of the Cabinet told the clerks,
and the clerks gossiped about it in the
elevators, and the elevator boys told it
to all the visitors of the departments.
Soon after 2 o'clock the congratula
tions began to pour in at the White House.
I Secretary Carlisle has a telephone in his
residence, and Mrs. Carlisle was the first
to send her felicitations to the President
and his wife.
Attorney General Olney arrived at the
White House a few minutes after 2
o'clock and shook the President warmly
by the hand.
Secretary Carlisle sent his congratula
tions from the department, and then
walked over to see how the President
took his latest good fortune.
Col. Lamont was an early caller, and

Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother,
arrived next morning and was driven at
once to the Executive Mansion. The new
baby has not yet been named and there
is much speculation on the subject.
While Baby Ruth's little sister is tho
first child of a President born in the
White House, six babies of less di.stin-
guished parentage have first seen the
light of day within its walls. Two of
these, now grown to womanhood, are
gtill living.
They are Mrs. Mary Emily Donelson-
Wilcox, a daughter ot Andrew Donel-
son, the nephew of President Jackson

adviser throughout his official career.
