equal toff percent, of the
outstanding circulation is to be ac
cumulated and maintained by
gradual taxation upon circulation.
From this fond the Government is
to redeem notes of failed banke.
The Government also retains a
prior lien upon the assets of failed
banks, including stockholders' lia
bility, as now provided by law, in
order to replenish this safety-fain,
and protect itself against passible
loss. Practically, the only change
is to 'substitute a guarantee-fnud
for Government bonds as security.
THE IJiCOME TAX.
The President recommends tariff
legislation. It is not surprising
that he advocates free raw mate
rials especially free coal and iron.
We do not consider it probable
that these suggestions of the Pres
ident will be adopted. They were
in the Wilson bill and were rejected
by the Senate, and if there is any
evidence of a change of sentiment
it has not come to our knowledge.
While we have no hope that the
Pop-gun bills will pass the Senate,
we have grave fears that the in
come tax will remain inoperative.
It will be remembered that the tax
was bitterly fought by Senator Hill
and others and that no appropria
tion was' made for carrying it into
effect. Indeed no provision has
been made for its enforcement.
Additional officials will have to
be commissioned and a very con
siderable appropriation voted by
Congress before a single cent of
Income tax can be collected. Re
cent occurrences are not calculated
to conciliate Senator Hill, and it
need surprise no one if Congress
fails to make an appropriation for
the purpose of enabling the Gov
ernment to collect the income tax.
It has been expected that the In
come Tax would bring from fifty to
seventy millions. into the treasury;
and if it proves an utter failure the
e&ect will be disastrous to the
country and to tn party.
Ordinarily there would be no
difficulty in procuring the needed
appropriation, but in the present
condition of affairs Senator Hill
would have no difficulty in getting
the assistanco of Bepublicans in
any effort to defeat or hinder the
passage of appropriation bills. If
appropriation bills can be delayed
until the fourth of March, an extra
session of. Congress will become
necessary, and the Republican par
ty will then come in possession oi
the legislative department of the
government, and many Democrats
will lose their places.
We trust our fearj will not be
realized, bnt the signs of the times
are rot assuring.

A Tree and Characteristic Story of
. "Old HiBtery" tie Hero of ew
. Orleaas.
A young man from Tennessee,
son of a friend of General Jack
son's, came to Washington . for a
place. ' He looked about and found
what . be wanted. I was in the
War Department and filled Dy a
rery efficient Whig, whom Secre
tary Oass would not remove. The
young man told Jackson the sana
tion and Cass was sent for.
; Cass,n said the President, "this
young man son of an old friend,
says you bav6 got a place in the
War Department tilled by a Whig
arK!h vnn wrtn'h crivA him "
i ; ,
tbat
the duties of the office were of a
peculiar kind and he could get no
one to fill the place if tbe man
now in it should be removed; Jack
son flared np.
By the eternal, Cass, do you
mean, to tell me you have an
office in your department filled by
a Whig which can't be filled by
a Democrat? Then abolish the
office."
. The young man got his place.
Ex.
Prohibition In the Georgia Legislature
.A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature of Georgia to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage. It provids that in any
county where there is not already
complete prohibition, or where
there shall not be at some future
time, "a vender of intoxicating
liquors for other than beverage
purposes may be appointed upon
petition of the majority of tbe free
holders who are qualified voters.''
There are various guards and pen
alties. The bill constitutes a kind of dis
pensary for the sale of liquor for
medicinal and mechanical purposes
to these who think they can't do
without it. The bill has the sanc
tion of good men, and it will likely
become a law.
Tbe people are becoming aroused
on this subject, and they begin to
see how foolish and unreasonable it
is to allow men to sell liquor as a
beverage. What a very low grade
of morals and low tone of society
it is that allows such things.
Let North Carolinians leave
aotbing undone to seen re improved
legislation on the subject. N. C.

Tbere is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
dieeaa5,and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure -with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proren catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, maDtrJactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is tho only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses Irom 10 drops to a

THEY LIKE THE JAPANESE.
American Sailors fcpeak Well of the
Miikado's Honest Subjects.
In her present struggle with
China, Japan bas the uudenied
moral snpi ort ot the American blue
jackets. Tuose who have spent
some time upon the Asiatiu station
and have experienced the hot.pi
tality tt the mikado's subjects are
enthusiastic in their praise of tbe
Japanese aod equally rigoroqs iu
their cond-tnnation of John China
man. Those teamen who have not been
as fortunate, hope to be some tkne,
aod the stories told by their fel
lows hive awakerjed in them a
respect for the Japanese, and con
tempt, deep and irradicable, for
the pig tailed Celestial whj dwell
in the flowery kingdom. Should
the United States have occasion
before the present war passes into
history to uphold Japan the task
of fighting iu her cause will be a
gratefal one to our sailors. Mvny
of the seamen who recently return
ed from the orient oa the Lancas
ter can now be foand arooud the
Brooklyn nav-yard.
"YV'j does I 1 ke the Japanestf
said oavi of them tbe othei day to a
New York vVorld man. " W'y, sir.
ye've never been to the Asiatic
station or e'd never ask a qaes
tion like that. I lived in Japan
w'en ship was there lived amoog
her people and a nicer crew I
never knewed.
They treats us like lords, so they
does, w'en we're out there. They're
the most faithful, the most polite
and the most honest furriners on
earth; that they are. Sare, w'en a
sailor man gets his skin fall ot
grog in Tokio Ii" never need fear
that whea he gets his bearings
again his pockets ill be empty.
2to matter ho much mouey he
has be can travel in safety. No
Jap would ever think oi stealing
from him.
I hare feeen a jiuricksha man
ivatch over one of oat fellows wiio
was full, when his blessed gaardjin
angel wouldn't recognize him. He
was kicked and called and told to
shove off more times than I've
swallowed good whiskey, bat it
was no go. That Jap stack like
leech. And w'en the eailor lay
down in the gutter and fell asleep
the little man lifted him Into tbe
jinricksha carried him home and
put him in bed. The sailor had a
couple of hundred in his clothes,
and it was there, every penny of
it, when he turned out in the
morning.
They are very generoas, too,
and lend onr boys and money that
they have. The fellows play sad
tricks on them sometimes. I have
known Japs to couue out to the
ships asking for John L. Sullivan,
James G. Blaine, Grover Cleveland,
Dr. Talmage aud other distin
guished citzens who they said,
had boi rowed five or tea or maybe
fifteen yen from them. They al
ways got the money, however, for
few of the bots would swindle a
Jap.
"Is it the same in China? Indeed,
it is not. Chioaman would
steal everythiag jon have. You
can bet your life we are with the
Japs, and I only hope they lick
the shoes off the blooming China
men." A HORHOR FKOM HUNGARY.

ALEX.VNDEU'6 horse.
How the Macedonian King t'ecureu
Possessiun of Itucephalus.
Of coarse every child who goes
to school has heard oi Alexander
the Great. Aud one can hardlj
think of him without thiuking also
of his horse, Bucephalus- IVrhaps
no horse in the world is so well
known, and no other horse'n name is
so familiar.
Plutarch, who has told us so
many interesting thiugs about,
says that he received his name
becanse his head resembled that
of an ox, Decause he had the mark
of an ox's head on his tiauk or
because he had a black mark on
his head shaped like an ox's head,
the rest ot his body being white.
This shows that iu Plutarch's time
people cared a great deal to hear
about Bucephalus.
Alexander obtained him in this
awaj: When he was at home
with his fauher, Pln'up. kin; ol
Macedon, a Thesa!i-tu brought
tbe horse to the king in hopes to
sell him. They tried to show him
off to advantage, but he was so
wild and uumanageable that, al
though he was a magnificent look
ing animal, the king was disgusted
with bis fonduct aud ordered him
to be tak-?n awav. Alex vjdtr had
taken a great fancy to toe horse,
so he objected to this. Fioally his
father offeted to buy Bucephalus if
Alexander could nde him.
- So Alexander, who was not
afraid of anything aud was used
to having his own way, managed
to get onto the rearing, kicking
horse, and found that he could
manage him. He suited Bucepha
lus as well as Bucephalus suited
hira, and from that time the two
were mseparaole. Bucephalus
w ould allow no one bat Alexander
to inouut him, He went with him in
all his campaigns, and wL;at a
number of things and places that
horse siw in Persia aad India!
lie was obliged to endure the
blazing sua, and after he had to
go without water, aud ha had to
climb steep mountains aud drag
through long, weary marches, and
he was wounded in battle, and
perhaps be wished himself back
sometimes ia peaceful Thessaly,
where he was from.
Still, he was taken good t;ar ot,
in you may be sunj that Alexin
der's favorite hor.-e was not neg
lected. He had plenty of grooms
to rub him down at night and to
wait upon him, aud -Alexander no
doubt often fed him with his oto
nands. lhere are uiureui. ac
counts of his death. Plutarch
says that in a great battle with
Porns, king ol pare of northern In
dia, he received the wounds of which
he died. Others say that he died
not long after of fatigue, worn out
by the. cruel marches and hard
work, aud that at his dca'h be was
thirty years old. That is very old
for a horse. At anv rato, he died
iu that region, for Alexander built
a cit.f near the river Hvdaspee,
which he called Bucepuala iu
honor of bis faithfal horse.
The city was in ruins long ago,
but Bacephalus is si ill re mem hered,
and always will be as long as his
tory last. N. Y. Woild.
