I take it that the bill in its main
features is one to provide a more flexible

we now have. If 1 am correct m this, I
am of the opinion that the bill is consti
tutional.
In Knox v. Loo and Parker & Davis,

Legal Tender cases the Supreme Court
of the United States says, in speaking
of the right of the United States Con
gress to make a paper legal tender :
"To assirt, then, that the clause enabl
ing Congress to coin money and regu
late its value tacitly implies a denial of
all other power over the currency of a

Washington, D. C, July 15. Sen
ator Gorman has, by general consent,
been put in charge of Democratic inter
ests in the fight which it is now evident
will soon be engaged iu upon the tloor
of the Senate. It will be a consolation
to Democrats throughout tho country to

Reed has already so effectually uor.e iu
the House.
The Republican Senators who have
been opposed to the new Force bill, oth
erwise known as tho Federal Election
bill, are slowly yielding to pressure which
has been brought to bear upon them.
Even Senator Evarts it is said has, un
der compulsion, promised tho new Re
publican boss -Representative Belden
that he would vote for the bill. It now
looks as though the bill would become a
law. It is regarded by tho Republicans
as a last desperate chance to gain enough
Congressman in the South to offset the
losses which they are certain to have in
other sections. In fact Mr. Belden
openly uses this as an argument to con
vert Republican opponents of the meas
ure. Many of the more decent Republicans
aro disgusted with Mr. Ikl len's attempt
to manufacture sentiment in fr.vor of
tho Force bill, by sending that remarka
ble appeal to tho Republican editors to
come to the rescue of the G. O. P.

SOME EDUCATIONAL .MATTERS.
A Steadily (J row ins Improvement in
the Public School System Dates and
Places lor County Institutes.
In a talk with Horn. S. M. Finger,
Stato Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, on yesterday, the Chronicle learn
ed that there was a gratifying general
improvement in the public school system
nearly all over tho State. This fact is
learned from the annual reports of the
county superintendents of publio in
struction which aro being received.
These reports are due July 1st now, in
stead of November 1st as heretofore.
There are reasons to believe that the
improvement made this year, and the
apparent growing interest in public
school matters are due largely to the
county educational institutes which have
been held during tho past year by Profs.
Alderman and Mclver. Their work is
showing and telling, and is proving to
be a powerful force in educational mat
ters. Tho system could, of course, bo made
much more efficient if the public school
fund was larger, but it is vory certain
that with the small and insufficient
amount at command, a wonderful work
is being done. As Major Finger said in
ono of his Morehead speeches, North
Carolina docs more with a dollar in edu
cational matters than does any other
commonwealth in the Union.

A Savase Assault on the Chief of Police
(Greens ioro Patriot.)
D. M. Thornburg, a South Greensboro
carpenter, created something of a sensa
tion Saturday night by a pretended at
tempt to commit suicide and a determin
ed attempt to commit murder.
Thornburg left home angry with hi
wife Saturday evening and wrote her a
note telling her that ho wa3 going to
commit suicide and that she would find
his body at midnight behind Hodgin's
store. His wife, frightened nearly out
of her senses, began to look for him aud
notified Chief of Police I tees of her hus
band's threats. Mr. Roes found Thorn
burg in rear of Uodgin'rf store with a
nearly empty bottle of sulphate of mor
phia in his" hand. Ho informed Mr.
Rees that he had taken the drug and im
mediately tumbled over as if dead.

only to frighten his wife.
