Toe Bank of Vecice did business for six centuries on a system of creoits, no, redeemable in coin, yet during the last four hundred years of its existe ice, i ts scrip was worth 20 above coin value The Bank was only discontinued upon the downfall of the Republic. Cannot our STOld standard statesman learn a lesson from this. A system of legislation that raises the price of a man's food or clothing is un- jnst. That is McKinleyism against which the people of this country rendered stun ning verdicts. If the Senate is not too corrupt, it will pass a reform tariff meas are ana do it quickly. It is probable the State Executive. Com mitte of the Denv cratic party will appoint a late day for holding tbe convention, so as to shorten the w-xry of the campaign. Some Western man will likely succeed Hon. F. M. Simmons ns chairman of the Executive Committee. Col. W. C.

Tlrs cynic can cuess as well as anyone, but we will give him a start by siiguc-tin-; that he ask a few Congressmen. The Alamance (tleaaer snys tlnit Mr. W. D. Holt.

It now looks like the Bribery commit tee af the Senate will hrinsr to liszht some very' ugly doings of people in hi.;h places Develor.inents so far are anything but flattering to President Cleveland and Sen ator Cochran of New York on the Sugar Trust matter. Cleveland and his ti-hing party got back to Waslungton Thursday morning. It is to bo hoped they imbibed some ideas of North Carol'na Democracy along with the salt zephrys of our waters. .North Carolina salt water is the kind of emetic an alopathic Democratic physician would likely prescri'; for this administration. Coxey's army, after the imprisonment of their leaders, lived several days on a scant supply of bread and water without marmuring Citizens of Washington learnin; their condition sent them wagon loads of wholesome food, and there was much rejoicing. The Secret SMvieo Division of the Treasury department has sent ut a cir cular warning people against a f-'jOO counterfeit note that is being circulated. It is a lithographic production. It can be detected by the poor execution of the Grant portrait and the crooked figure 5. In the coming election lor meliljers of the Legislature more than usual care should be taken in the selection of candi dates. The next session of that b xlv will have to elect both United States Senator-, and in the condition ol the country, more than usual caution sbotild le observed in choosing them.

The cargo of live stock, and baskets and boxes were landed, and the children and young peo ple scattere I over the woo Is plucking wild nowers. Kop,s were brought for ward and swings werj hung up in the stately oaks. Swinging and jumping the rope was quite amusing. About eleven o'clock we heard the distant muttering of thunder and it told of the coming rain w hich made its ap pearance very -oon, to the displeasure of the school; it thwarted the plans to some degree for a' out two hours. In the meantime the ciowd gathered in the dwellings and had a jolly good time drinking lemonade dispensed by the hands of the genial Tooker as every body called him, the crowd up stairs began to play shurly lu, but u word from the Sup erintendent soon put a stop to it. 1 he long looked for hour for dinner came at last, and a beautiful supply of well prepared ham, chicken, pies, cakes and other things too tedious to mention were spread before the people, aud every body seemed to be satisfied, contented and paid. We wondered where so much wll prepared eatable, came from. The writei of this article has attended many picnics and must say that he enjoyed this dinner as well if not better than at any picnic heietofore. I will not forget to siy a word for Bro.

Alter dinner the crack game of ball took place between the Joe Parson Blues and the Herman Dowdy Grays, with a get there umpire from Oriental whose descissions were fair. It was very hard to tell which side beat. The only way I could tell was by paying attention to Charlie Edwatds who seemed to be under the hack all the while. Capt.

The siands were at the Hillshoro street gate of the Capitol square where the cor ner stone was to be laid. One stand was filled bv a sp: cial choir of one hundred ladies; it w us a balcony of beauty. Gov Carr called the meeting to order and welcomed the multitude. The News-Observer-Chronicle says the scene in front of the stand was one never to be forgotten. It was a perfect sea of upturned faces on every side. The programme was carried out as I'ol lows. Tbe choir rendered the Old North Stiite. Walter Grimes; who introduced tbe bill providing for erecting the monument made the opening address, giving a history of the monument. Rev. James A.

Then the choir sung "Let us go over the River and Rest Under the Shade of the Trees. Then Capt. Thomas W. Mason deliv ered the oration with magnetic eloquence, an oration historic, patriotic and worthy of preservatiou in permanent form. Cjpt.

A great seal of Uie Confedeiate States that came from Paris too late to be used and was never used, was offered, but was deemed too interesting a relic to lie buried. Col. R. T. Bennett followed in an clc gain and thoughtful address and held the attention of the vast audience for nearly an hour. Col. S. McTate delivered a beautiful address on the private soldier. The corner stone was set in place by Col. E D. Hall, the venerable President of the North Carolina Veteran Associa tion, assisted by Veterans from the Sol diers Home, in a simple ritual. The battle-w-orn flag of the 48th Noith Caro lina Regiment was presented to the. State and after the band played '-D.xie," the great crowd dispersed.
