BST Specimen copies forwarded when BillHye ' 4 Often spoke his witticisms laden with the greatest truths. Among the most noticeable, most Nyeish and most apropos is the following: A. man may nse a wart on the back of his neck for a collar button; ride on the back coach of a train to save interest on his money until the con ductor comes around; stop his watch at night to save the wear and tear; leave his "i" and "t" without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; but a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared tova fellow who will take a newspaper, and when asked to pay for it, puts it into the post-office and has it maiked, "Refused." THEY COULD IF THEY WOULD. ' In his speech at the dinner of the Reform Club, in New York, ex-President Cleveland vehemently upraided the Republican party for its sin of commission and omission, its sin of commission consisting in its persist ence in launching a new tariff upon the country, and its stn of omission in failing to address itself; to the 'problem of currency reform, for the former of which the ex-President can see no decent excuse, and for the latter of which he sees an imperative necessity. The large majority of the Democrats in the country will agree with him in both, although they may question; the good grace of either complaint coming from a man who gave the Republican party so much aid and comfort during the campaign and contributed so materially to put ting it in power again, i The complaint on the tariff does not come, with good grace j because the Republican campaign managers did not relegate1 the tariff but made it an issue and kept it an issue until the day of election. They shrewdly , played the "sound money" 'game to catch the Democratic sound money gudgeons, but they never directly or indirectly agreed to abandon their contemplated work on the tariff. It Is a mere gratuitous assumption on the partf Mr. Cleveland that they in any way became obligated to re linquish the tariff in, recognition of democratic aid received during the campaign and at the 'polls. That aid was voluntarily tendered without any agreement or stipulation for anything in return, the motive being in tendering it to defeat Bryan, be cause Bryan didn't stand with Grover Cleveland & Co. on the money ques tion. That is all. They didn't like McKtnley, but they saw no hope. for the two; fossils 'from Illinois and Kentucky, and they simply! used Mc Kfnley ag an instrument j to defeat Bryan. McKinley knows, this, the Republican party managers know it, and therefore they feel under no ob ligations to the "sound money" Democrats who deserted j their o wn party and voted with the Republi cans: " v i , j- Nor .was the Republican party pledged to any such currency reform as Mr. Cleveland and they who stand with him would like to see. They would like to see the Treasury notes and Sherman notes retired and 'de- stroyed. The Republican party was not committed to that. They would like to see the single gold standard established and made perpetual. The Republican party was not commit ted to that. Thev would like land administration to have settled the silver agitation if it- had gone about it in the rtgbt way ' before it 'committed Itself so irretrievably to the yellow coin." It is in the power of the Republican party to do it now without whispering a syllable against silver or showing the faintest sem blance of hostility to it The free silver sentiment was" strong enough n twenty two out of the forty five States to give Win. J. Bryan a ma loritv in those States. It was so a T . " - J strong in some of the other twenty three that McKinley's majority was very small. Oat of the more than 12,000,000 votes cast, McKinley's plurality over Bryan was 600,000, What gave Win. J. Bryan" 6,500, 000 votes, the largest number ever received by a defeated candidate? Look at the States he carried and the question is answered. They are all agricultural States, depressed and suffering from a scarcity of money. That is what gave edge to the free silver agitation. Eight voters out of ten in these States didn't care a continental about free coinage, or any other coinage. What they wanted was some monetary sys tem that would 1 provide the necessary: volume of currency and re lieve the pressure from which they were suffering. They supported the demand for free silver because they felt that it was the only way xo get the money they needed. That was the inspiration of their support and the ground of their action. If money bad been plentiful there never would have been any monetary agitation, there never would have been any de mand for tree coinage. The people never agitate when they are prosper ous, nor unless tney nave some cause for agitation. I This agitation will continue until the cause is removed, and the 'cause will not be removed until some steps are taken to provide the States which are short of money with the currency they need. If the leaders of the Republican party had. the sa gacity to see it, they would at once repeal the State bank tax. That would relieve the pressure, put the money question in the hands of the people of the States who would soon provide the ways to furnish all the currency they needed, and the needs supplied there would be no longer necessity or cause for agitation. If . . . .- . . . i-' i iney wouiq settle the money ques tion and bring peace and prosperity to the country that is the short and sure way to do it. I which framed this bill, were more nterested! in the trusts than , they were in the people. JPossibly,"how ever, som? Senator who thinks more of the people than of the trusts may move for and insist"" that something of this kind be incorporated i a the bill before it passes the Senate. If adopted an4 carried out in good faith, as this" Canadian clause doubtless will be by the Canadian authorities, it would be a great protection to the people. It would, at least, have some restraining influence, on the trusts, j . -' , " The war cable dispatches look bad for the Greeks in the field and for-the Greeks at borne, where in stead of the valiant, defiant cry for war a few weeks ago . we hear the wail of disappointment and chagrin and the howl of the fickle, restless mob, in jail of which th modern Athenians exhibit the characteristics of their ancestors of 2,500 years ago, who worshipped heroes one day and banished them the next.

The decision of the Supreme Court in sustaining the decision j of Judge Adams in the Insane Asylum cases blocks the game of Republican-Pop ulist combine to billet upon these in stitutions some of the hungry hench men. ine state is to be congratu lated upon this action of the courts, for it means that these institutions are not to be used as party spoils and made conveniences to reward partisan claimants regardless of the interests of the institutions or the welfare of those who find refuge there. These decisions apply to the asylums in which .the test case was made, but in as much as the Supreme Court holds that an office is as much a man's property as his horse or house and lot, it seems to us that the aectstoo ; covers all cases where the appointment or selection is for, a stated period. It is both equitable and in the public Interest that this should be so, for the person ap pointed may resign a lucrative posi tion to accept such office in' the be lieve that it is to hold at least for the . time of appointment if not longer, and he may also incur con siderable expenses Incident to the acceptance of the trust. It is due to him that there should be some stability of tenure, and that he do not hold his peace subject to the caprice of the appointing power, or of succeeding appointing powers. It is also conducive to more effi ciency when the incumbent feels secure and has no apprehension of If the South River, N. J., minister who Introduced phonograph in his church and made it play a violin solo, sing the offertory and pronounce the benediction, had just supplied it with a sermon, he might have demonstra ted to his congregation how easy it would be to get along without a pas tor, when the pastor wants to take his Summer vacation. But then after some congregations got used to that kind of hing they might stick to the phonograph and dispense with the minister. ;:: i f, " ' tl- -CRIMINAL COURT.

Tne fol lowing sketch, sent out from Washing ton several days since, will be read with interest In Wilmington : n j "Thomas Richard Purnell was born about 50 years ago in the old Governor Dudley mansion in Wilmlneton. He i a grandson of Governor Dudley, Gover nor of North Carolina from i 1886 to 1841, and is the son of Thomas R. Pur nell. of Halifax i county. He served as civil engineer in the Southern army. Af ter the war he worked as a sign painter in Wilmington. He graduated from Trinity College in 1889; studied law witb Colonel Strange in Wilmington; re moved to Baltimore: studied i there under Theophilus Horwiu; prac ticed law in Baltimore, and later re turned to; North Carolina, locating in Winston-Salem, where he married Miss Zevely. of Salem, niece of Colonel Zeve Iv, who was Assistant Postmaster Gen eral during the war; and up to the sec ond term of Grant's; administration; was appointed State Ltbranau in 1873, when heretnoved, to Raleigh; resigned in 1878; wastwice elected to the Legisla ture from Wake county; was a Harrison elector in ,1888; was Republican candi date for Attorney General in 1893, and since 1873, when he cast his first vote for Grant, has been an active and prom inent Republican in tbe State."! The Judgeship secured, by Mr Pur nell is about the most desirable North Carolina position within the gift of the President.!
