The courtt will have to settle it. The State Treasurer tayt he wantt that course taken. The executive board, . L. Travis, W. H. Osborne and W. C. Mewland, tent the following strongly written circular letter to each of the 800 debtor of the penitentiary, to whom they had sent the warrants cover ing the $119,000 of debts: 'Replying to your letter informing us that the State Treasurer refuses te pay our warrant sent you, we beg to say: That on tbe 7th day of March, 1899, the Legislature of North Carolina passed an act (chapter 607, laws of 1899,) directing the Issue of State bonds to tbe amount of $110,000 to raise a fund to pay tbe 'now outstanding' indebtedness of the Stale prison. These bonds were sold for $120,202.60, which is now in the Treas urer's bands. Section S, of said act pro vides that the Treasurer shall hold this money at a separate and distinct fund for the payment of the aforesaid in debtedness.' It further provides, 'said fund shall be paid out by the said State Treasurer only upon the warrant of . L. Travis, W. H. Osborne and W. C, Newlend, constituting tbe executive board, who are to audit and pass upon ail claims and accounts against taid Slate's prison.' "In compliance with that ttatute, we have audited all these accounts and drawn eur warrants upon this fund placed there subject to our order, and sent them-to the parties entitled. We have performed our duty, and done all that the ttatute required of us. That M statute require the Treasurer to pay this fund out upon our warrant, and If he sees fit te disregard the law and refuse to do It, It Is not in our power to make him. Only the holders of the war rants have a right of action agalmt him to compel payment.

"It appear to n thetthe Treasurer in nndtitaklng toudil tee aocouata cov ered by our warrants, and strike out ail Items after December 81, 1898, as aol being payable out of this fuad, Is not only going outside bis own duties and arrogating to himself tbe powers of this board, but Is giving to the act a con sanction utterly amenable. ..The act Speaks a of the day -a It ratification (March 7, 1800, and provide for lb pay ment of tMthenv enttiaadmg .indebted ae.

"We have every disposition to oblige the creditors of the Institution in any way possible, but we can not recede from our posiiiou, which we are ao confident is right, when to do so would result in to great an embarrassment of the institution and loss to the State, and must there fore decline to change tbe warrants and Insist that tbe Treasurer be made to pay tbem at the statute directs him to do." STONE AGAINCT 11RVAH. Opposed To Making the Philippine Qoes tlun a Political One. Chicaoo, June 25 The Tribune today says: "Ex-Gov. William J. Stone, ef Missouri, acting chairman of the Demo cratic National committee, hat taken sharp issue with William J. Bryan and other leaders of bis party. While not committing himself as to whether or not this country should own and govern the Philippine Islands, he has declared in an Interview strongly against the anil-expansion plea. "He said that after Dewey hauled down the Spanish colon's! Manila there waa nothing left for patriotic Americans to do but sustain the Government in its attempt to settle the questions there arising without unduly criticising itt course. Mr. Stone alto made an argu ment in favor of doing everything pot tlble toward Increasing the American merchant marine, even to the extent of subsidies by the Government where necessary. He said: "I do not think the altuation in the Philippines as It is at present should be made a political issue. I know much is said regarding the Administration's atti tude toward the Philippines, but I do not understand that ttvbas formultaed any policy with reference to tbem as yet. It will be lime enough to raise au Issue when this policy has been announced. " '1 would uot be understood as en dorsing all that tbe Government has done in connection with the islands since Admiral Dewey struck the Span Is 'i colors In Manila bay, for I think some grave mistakes have been made. But as tbe situation is at preseut, we have got to stand by our country.'" You can't cure dyspepsia by dieting. Eat good, wholesome food, and plenty of It.
