C, NOV. 10, 1893 SNAP SHOTS. Extra session is over. But Stew art is still talking to himself. , Lay the calamity howler on the table. Better times are ahead. The President has issued a procla mation setting aside the 30th day of November as Thanksgiving day. k. QA girl in New Jersey committed suicide the other day because she didn't like the fall dress her mother bought for her. The purchasing clause of the Sherman act rest in peace and still we have coinage of silver. What will the calamity howlers do now ? New York has a suburb called "Cleveland on the Hill." He is cer tainly on top now, and would be on the pinacle if he would turn the ras cals out. k An English observer says the pop ulation of Washington is composed of those in office, those who expect to be in office and those who' have ben in office. Peffersonian Democracy is not Jeffersonian Democracy by a long shot. Peffersonian Democracy in North Carolina and Granville county means negro rule. An epidemic of murdering crank iness seems to have broken out in the country. The most effective wind ing up with cranks can be done in connection with a rope. A Tacoma woman complains that her divorce was granted so quickly as to do her an injustice. Shehad'nt time to select a new husband, but was suddenly left alone in the world with no plans for the future. The yellow fever is rapidly disap pearing in Brunswick, On. The weather is becoming more favorable every day and few new cases have been reported in the past week. Mayor Lamb gives notice that no further contribution are needed. Mrs. J. P. Caldwell, the wife of the talented editor of the Charlotte Observer and Statesville Landmark, died in Statesville last week of ty phoid fever. We extend to brother Caldwell our warmest sympathies in this the hour of his sad affliction. President Cleveland has issued temporary commissions to Messrs. Simmons and Elias, Internal Rev enue Collectors for this State, they having failed to be confirmed by the Senate owing to the opposition of Senator Vance. Mr. Simmons will assume his duties in a few days. Financially the World's Fair was a success. There were 21,477,212 paid admissions. The gate receipts were $10,000,000. The amount ex pended was $30,558,849 and yet there remains $1,000,000 profit. It is said 419 persons from Asheville attended which represented $10,740 paid to railroads. It is estimated that the people of North Carolina spent from $300,000 to $500,000 at tending the Exposition. Ex-Gov. Jarvis in his excellent address at the Colored Fair at Ral eigh advised the colored people to procure and own their homes and to endeavor to be better citizens. He also told them that, if they would endeavor to suppress heinous crimes, lynching would be heard of no more. It was quite appropriate that President Cleveland should proclaim a Thankgiving proclamation on Sat urday the day special session of Con gress adjourned. Especially when 20,000,000 words, which would make a line 1,000 miles long, were requir ed by Senators to effect the repeal of the Sherman act. if Among the closing acts of extra session of Congress was the passage by the Senate of the House bill ex tending six months from the date of approval the registration privileges of the Geary Chinese deportation law. The whole Mongolian busi ness amounts to this: This country will drink tea, but it won't swallow the Chinaman. The latest development of the in surance business is interesting. You can buy suspenders which entitle your next of kin to $500 if you are killed while wearing them, and there are also hats which entitle your heir to a similar amount if you are found dead with one on your head. If the hat is found by your side both it and the insurance are "off. President Cleveland feels assured that it will pay us to convince the world that we are honest. And it would also be a good thing on his part if he would convince the peo ple of this country that he is a true Democrat by turning Radicals out and putting his own followers , in office. He is under no obligation to keep Harrison men in office under a Democratic administration. An address to the people of the United States in the interest of the free coinage of silver has been issued by a number of Senators and Repre sentatives who took part in the dis cussion of the bills repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The address is signed by Sena tors Peffer, Jores, Stewart, Kyle and Allen, and by Representatiyes Davis, Baker, Boen, Bell, of Colorado; Harris, Hudson, Simpson,. Pence, and McKeaghan, Kansas. The majority of the people in the country were in favor of the repeal of the purchasing clause of Sherman act, and they are delighted that it has been accomplished, conse quently the people, except the thircl ites, are confidently looking forward to better times. They do not expect the depression, which has so long prevailed, to be removed at once, but they feel that the financial clouds are breaking and they hope that the dawn of brighter days is at hand. it The Washington Post says an un paid tailor's bill is the immediate cause of the recall of Col. Hampton Hoge, appointed United States Con sul at Amoy at a Salary of $3,500 and fees amounting to $2,000 more. Shortly after his appointment Col. Hoge, it is said, went to a fashion able Washington tailor and ran his face and position for several expen sive suits of clothes. He failed to pay the bill and the tailor filed charges against him at the State Department. "Nothing succeeds like success," and nothing will more quickly insure success tnan true merit. For fifty years, Ayer's Sarsaparilla has maintained its popular ity as the superior blood-purifier. It stands upon its own merits and never fails to give satisfaction. Johnson's Magnetic Oil cures cramps and colic and internal neuralgia; 40 and 75 cents. Sold at J. G. Hall's. 100 bushels fine red seed wheat fcpeci ally adapted to Granville county soil Apply to Edwards & Winston GUARDING THE PRESIDENT. One result of the crank epidemic that is sweeping over the country is the redoubling of precautions rela tive to President Cleveland. There have been many changes in the rules observed at the White House regard ing the admission of visitors. These precautions were not at the instance of Mr. Cleveland. As far as appear ances go the President has no per sonal fear whatever, but since Carter Harrison was shot down in his own home it has occurred to those di rectly responsible for the safety of the President that perhaps they were not doing their full duty. The force of watchmen at the White House has therefore been in creased, and now when the President goes out he is attended for a short distance bv a detective in citizen's clothing. Every stranger who visits the White House is closely scruti nized, and no one is admitted to the President until his business and his character is known. With the pre cautions taken it is well nigh impos sible that any harm should befall the Chief Magistrate in the Executive Mansion. Only a few days ago a crank was arrested boarding the train at In dianapolis for Washington with blood in his eye for old G rover. This state of affairs is .the out growth of calamity howlers and anarchism. THE TAX ON STAT: ON RANKS. The House Committee on Bank ing and Currency has deyoted a great deal of attention during the extra session to the subjects of the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State banks. It is understood, says the Baltimore Sun, a bill will be re ported to the House soon after the beginning of the session. The members of the committee who are in favor of removing the tax have made a general canvass of the House to ascertain the opinions of individual members as to the form of bill they would be willing to vote for. Some of the members of the committee would prefer a bill for the unconditional repeal of the tax, but it is doubtful if any such could be passed through the House, and it is practically certain that any bill that is passed will accompany the repeal with conditions of some kind pro viding for more or less supervision by the general government. The only thing that can be definitely stated at this time is that there will be a provision for having all the notes of State banks printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington, and distributed thro the Comptroller of Currency. It is also practically certain that there will be a provision for a small tax on circulation to create a fund to secure the holders of the notes. SENATOR ANO .TUISIIII. President Cleveland tendered Sen ator Ransom the position of United States Circuit Judge for the Fourth Judicial district, embracing Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, made vacant by the death of Judge Bond, and he declined the honor. The Senator is G8 years old and has been in the Senate 22 years. He holds that his duty to the State and the people who have honored him re quires him to remain in the Senate and insists that the judgeship should go to some younger man. We are glad that the gallant and noble Ran som, the peer of any man in the Senate, concluded to continue to stand by the people of North Caro lina in the Senate instead of accept ing a position for life. All honor to Matt Ransom, one of the greatest statesmen and orators the Old.North State ever produced. We are in favor of giving him a life tenue in United States Senate. We must exclaim: Hurrah for Matt Ransom, the man of the people ! One wheat drill, the best made, for sale at a sacrifice on good terms. oct.13 S. H. Smith. SILVER COINAGE. The. Treasury Department has or dered the Superintendents of mints at San Francisco and New Orleans to resume coinage, suspended some time ago, of standard silver dollars. It is for the purpose of utilizing the Seignorage that coinage of standard silver dollars is resumed. The expectation is that about one and a half million dollars can be coined at once, which will give the Treasury seignorage of about $500,- 000. It is the intention of the De partment, as other mints become clear of gold coinage, to have them also coin silver and thus to increase the coinage 8,500,000 to 4,500,000 per month. This is bad news for the calamity howlers as they were in hopes the silver coinage would cease so that they could continue to howl in favor Peffersonian ism, which in this State means niggerism. As predicted the House promptly concurred in the Senate amendment to the Wilson repeal bill and Presi dent Cleveland approved it in little over an hour after its passage. Th'us ends the great -silver battle which has held the .attention of the whole nation for eight weeks pant. The result is a splendid vindication of Cleveland and the Democratic plat form. Now the old man should get down to business and turn the Re publicans out and give the men who put him in office some showing, and not keep in those who spent time and money to defeat him.
