Some Pertinent Points by a Cot respondent Concerning the Management of The Hospital For the lagan Iu the State of North Carolina. The following communication recalling a case with which Orange county; people are fa miliar, is but another illustra tion, that the poor man enjoys few privileges and gets but little of the thia called justice in this much vaulted but sadly inflated land of , the brave and home of the free. IIlLLSBono, N. C, Scj.t 12, 1895. Editok Rwxb; ::i;: . -, At the meeting of the County Board of Health iullillsboro last week, Dr. Parrw, as a member of the mod ktil board of Orange county, recommended watvr works for the jail, which Lo said was in very bad sanitary condition. He described an awful state of affairs. Maj. Hamilton raid the com missioners could do nothing for want of monejf. Dr. Jordan, of Caldwell Iujtute, seemet to think in such an extreme rase as this it was the commissioner's bus iness to find the money. He mentioned a case where an inno cent man from his section of the county was put in jail kucIi jail he said such a place was not fit for the woit of criminals, much loss au inuc cent man. Within the p&4 two yearn there havj been '21 men incarcerated in this disease-breeding hole at one timo. ""Among the number was one Lockley Ashley, innocent in the sight of men, but who had been touched by the hand of God. This poor man, who friends were too oor to keep him at home, laid in a common jail more than two years. Application was made or his admittance to the State Hospital time and again, but there was no room for poor Laxlley Ashley. In the mean- lime, however, those in better cir cumstances than the friends of Lockley Ashley, gained admit tance for their afllicted. No uioiiey, no friends, no home had this poor unfortunate but a com mon jail, unfit for man or beast, declared so by ths Superintendent of Health of Orange county. r N. W. Knows. This is only the old, old story. The recital by Mr. Brown of the wrongs inflicted upon the unfortunate man who was so inhumanly treated is but locking the stable after the the horse is stolen. Yet Mr. Brown's statement, even at this time, is not at ail out of place, but on the contrary ia manifestly ia order. No one knows how toon or when some other poor citizen of Orange county may be bereft of his reason. And when be is, unless custom changes, the ill- starred creature will laugh but smile no more, in the foul and frowsy jail.until Death, in kind ness, receives him to his bosom. And it is just such citations as the above which cause the universal unrest among the peo ple of America. In other words the treatment cf the victim named above shows that the power of gold Is absolute. It was unnecessary for Mr. urown to write that the rich people's demented friends can find a place in the hospitals for their insane at almost any tirrfe. The poor man or bit wife or his child, who is non compos men tis, must lie In the filth of the nearest dungeon, denied the benefits of trainod nunos or ex perienced medical aid. Why should it bo so? The rich, more able to care for their own, are giveh plenty of room and all attention, while poor and untafluential, and mora de serving because of ttetr pover ty of riches and influence, are left to die from their mental torment or be eaten up with dis ease bred on the iron bed in the prison cell whichever God rules best. The Recorder would like to ask who is responsible for such treatment .; of crazy persons. For the last ten years it has been the case, to the writer's knowledge, that the friends of poor patients had bard work to secure admission to the hospit als, and in many cases failed entirely. Every tax payer in Orange county pays every year his assessment , to support the hospitals for the insane, and why he must also pay to sup port the insane in the county jail is not to be explained. We fail to remember where any governor has urged in his mes sage to the legislature the ne cessity of preparing more room for lunatics, nor do we remem ber that any bill has ever been introduced for that purpose. The state legislature has voted money for the farcical Arring ton investigation, while help less citizens are being sent to unhealthy jails ' because, it seems, the spare rooms of the hospitals for the insane have been engaged in advance and are held for any of the rich na bobs who might become afflict ed in the upper story. The state is growing in pop ulation, and to hear some of the politicians talk, the number of insane is increasing, and the Recorder would like to know why an additional wing is not added to the asylums, and the long-talked of scandal of inhu man treatment to crazy people given a rest. ' ALL OYER WE STATE The $100,000,000 gold reserve in the United States treasury fell on Monday to ?97,710,772. II. Y. Williamson of Mt.

Dan Kelly, a young white man. of Charlotte, shot John Lewis, (colored.) of that place on Saturday night. lewis is expected to die and Kelly is in jail.

IN A FAR HEATAEN LAND. Some Particulars of the Death of Dr. narion A. Cheek. REMEMBERED IX ORANGE. Though Dying in a Heathen Lend Far from Home and Friends, many Distinguished Honors are Paid Him and His Memory Revered. The news of the death of the late Marion A. Cheek, M. D., who died about six weeks ago in Siam, where ho had been sent in 1874 by the Presbyterian board of missions, and where he had since risen to great distinction, becoming physician to the royal family and also the recipient of many favora ut the 1 minis of the Chief, has been gm erally published , throughout the state. As none of the papers have given the particulars, how ever, and as deceased has many near relatives and boyhood friends in old Orange and sur rounding counties, wiio would like to know the exaei mode of procedure of a christian, burial iu a heatlian land, tho Recorder gives place this week io the fol lowing extracts from f the Siam Observer of July Cth printed one side in English", and the other in the native tongue, and containing a full account, occu pying two columns, of the death and funeral services of the dis tinguished and greatly beloved American: "The pavillion which had been erected at the American Lega tion for theJFourth of July cele bration, was yesterday put to an unexpected use when it . was utilized as a chapel for the first part of the funeral service over the remains of the late Dr. Cheek. The flag still hung from the roof fcnd walls, but they were now draped with black, as were also the supporting pillars and beams. In the center was a bier on which was placed the coflin. covered with the American flag and a wealth of wreaths sent by, amongst others, Prince and Princes Bidya- labh, Dr. and Mrs. Hayward Hays, and Mr. and Mrs. Brock mann. Almo t the whole of the foreign community were present, including the following diplomat ic ami consular representatives:- Monsieur Favie (Minister for France), Mr. W. R. D. Beckett II. B. M. Consul), Count do Pino (Consul for France), Mr. Wiede (Consul General for Austria), Mr. Pereira (Consul General for Portu gal), Mr. Brocknan (Consul General for Sweden and Nor way), Kcun de Hoogcrwocrd (Consul General for the Nether lands) and Mr. Hugger (Consul for Germany). There were also present the following Siamese officials:. Phya Raj Rong Muang, of the Local Government, and Phra Auan Naraks (Insjector General of Police.) THE ri'SKKAI. SKKVH'K. "The. service opened with the reading of a portion oi scripture and a prayer offered by the Rev. Dr. Dunlap, after which the hymn "Rock of Ages" was sung by all present, and then tho Rev. Dr. S. G. McFarlanl offered prayer. "The Rev. Dr. Eugene P. Dun- lan then addressed those present, referring efpccially to the de ceased. In tho course ol the Doctor's very nblo address ref erence was made to to the late Dr. Cheek's coming out to this country in 1874 as a Medical Missionary, his hospital m the Chiengmai district, and his min istering services lo the sick and tho boinclos amongst the suffering Loalions, ami tho Rev. Doctor mado a statement to the effect that in one year alone Dr. Cheek treated 110 less thac 13,000 enscs in bis hospitals. lie referred to the great love that the inhabi tants of Chiengmai bore to the deceased, and the great regret the speaker and others felt that; the deceased should have left the Ministry. lie then dwelt upon the services of Dr. Cheek to the commerical world, and concln ded by a general reterence to the duties of men to one another and to themselves, urging that self love was a law of nature and should never be subordinated to love for ono's neighbor, since it was only possible to serve others by preserving our own bodies. . A r AXEGYRIC. "The Hon. Mr. Barrett U. S. Minister, then delivered the fol lowing panegyric. "A good word spoken for a good man who has departed cannot be thrown away, especially when his body is lying in our midst. No man in Siam has turned the search light upon Dr. Cheek's character more than I have done during the time I have been in Siam, and so I can say a few words because that you, as friends of the dead man, will be glad to hear what he can say who has made these investigations. " I came here with the responsible duties of United States Minister to the Siamese nation, and one duty of my office was the study of this good and noble man w ho is taken from us, and I al most feel as if a aat cloud of of sorrow were coming down up on my own shoulders now because I did not allow Dr. Cheek to go home when he wanted to six months ago. I asked him to stay to asssist mc in what I wan ted to achieve, and now what I can say to the wiefe and those fair boys and girls who are left re- spectivcly without a husband and without a father! I can simply say he did a noble and good man. The best test, prehaps of a man's character is the way he regards his friends. !I do not think there lives any man who can say that Dr. Check ever went back upon lain as a friend. Another test is this. A man who has always talked of his family, and wished to do his best for them even in the midst of crippled cir cumstances. My re marks arc only for an occasion like this. They have no political significance, and are simply the expression of the feelings that well up in my soul as I think of the close study I have mado of his character. I have to thank you iu the name of thoso who have lost him, for coming here to show this reiiect for a man whom, if we knew him well, we could not respect too much. When Mr. Barrett had conclu ded tho coffin was removed the ball-bearers Wing Dr. McFarland, the Rev. Mr. Synder, and Messrs. Bennett and Moore to a barge draped with white, and towel down to the Potestant cemetery, where the service was concluded. Many of those present were con veyed down tho river in launch es which, with the barge, were provided for the purpose by the Siamese Navy. Twenty New Cigarette Factories. The second conference of plug Tobocco makers was held in New York last week, represen tntives of alt the large manu facturers of the country being present. They did not form a trust 0 combination but de cided they would at once com mence the making of cigarettes, each on his own book. Twenty cigarette factories are to be started as soon as possible.

Editor Recorder: The following extracts of opinions from leading authorities on the all absorbing money ques tion may bo of interest just now. " The London Tines, dominated by the moneyocracy of Europe, and tho guide for gold subsidized press of this country, is candid enough to admit the reason of their opposition to a condition of things, favorable to the masses. In a recent issue it says: "It seems impossible to get bi metalists to understand that there is quite a large number of us for whom a general rise of prices has no charm whatever. We like them low, and the lower the bet ter. If they all went down to half their present figures we1 should rejoice, because we have nothing to sell and a great many things to buy. For thoso who) have anythiug to sell we do not feel any great concern." James G. Blaine, while living, the acknowledged leader of the Republican party in statesman ship, in his speech delivered in Congress Feb'y, 1878, said: "I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of tho con stitution: indeed the money of the American people anterior to the constitution. No power was con ferred on congress to declare eith er metal should not bo money. Congress has, therefore, in my judgment, no power to demone tize silver any more than to de monetize gold." Are the masses of the republi can party of today going to allow all Street money kings to make themforget the teachings of their great political apostle? If so, Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, was right when ho told his colleagues, in congress, Aug. ltf, '93, "The man who wants the people to destroy the government is an auarchist, but the man who wants the government to destroy the people is a patriot. The national republican plat form of 1888, which has not been materially altered since upon the financial question, has this: ''The republican party is iu favor of the use of both gold and silver as money and condemns the policy of tho democratic administration iu its efforts to demonetize silver." In 1884 the democratic plat form, which up to date has not been repudiated by the national convention, says: "We believe in honest money, the gold and sil ver coinage of the constitution, and a circulating medium con vertible into such money without loss." "A circulating medium!!" Evidently paper money, here by endorsed by the democratic party. Did it mean greenbacks, for which the government was Uses Mexican Mustang Liniment Sprain cured and crutches thrown away. Bad Gall on his horse's neck cured in 3 days. pledged, or the issue of irrespon sible banks? Now comes the populist. Their platform of 1892, several times reindorsed since, says: "We de mand free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1." There is no discrepency in the authorized creed of either party on this question, but they are like wo jcvivttiiM wuo tens you au you have to do is "repent of your sins and trust in Christ," and when you have done this still makes it essential you should sub- cribe to some particular supersti tion or dogma of his particular sect before he will acknowledge you as one of the faithful or like the railroad that sells you a ticket on a train so crowded you cannot get in the coach, and then con fronts you with, "yes, I know, but tis against orders to stand on tho platform." So far the populist train has not been crowded and no such notice has been stuck up, and when, if ever, it is, the train will go through with only the engineer. There will be no use for conduc tor or brakesman. A. Hatchett. The Times is the name of the new paper at Greensboro. Rev. D. II. Tuttle, of Raleigh, has revived the Cristian Citizen, prohabition organ. A registered distillery belong ing to a Mr. Keeth was seized at Sanford last Friday for irregular ities. The State Board of charities met in Raleigh last week. They inspected the asylums and dis charged other duties. The convention of Free Silver ites, called by Mr. Ed Chambers Smith, of Raleigh, will meet in that city on the 25th inst. TheArrington committee, or burlesque company, sitting in Raleigh lost week, has adjourned sine die, and witout getting pay ior sitting. Mr. Joseph M. Harvell and his little six-year daughter, Annie, were crushed to death by a falling tree neat Thermal City on Wed nesday evening. There are sixty applications from military companies wishing to join the State Guard. The law allows only thirty companies, and some of them will have to wait quite a while. "The Paladium" is the name of a weekly paper to be published in Wilmington by Messrs. J. W. Sneeden and J. W. Meacham. The first issue is to appear next Friday, the 13th. It absorbs the Sunny South, and will carry out the contracts of that paper. Mr. Meacham will be editor and man ager of the now paper.
