VOL. 76 NO. 85. DURHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1896. ESTABLISHED 1820 What ever e'.se may or may not happen this presidential election year, it is pretty evident the pres ent Duck hunting Dynasty will end its reign. Every tear that we brush away from the eyes of the sor rowful will be' gathered up by unseen angels' fingers and placed as a gem in the crown of future glory. Indications Are that the Poplist of the 4th District will nominate W. II. Stroud .for congress, to succeed himself, and that ."Uncle !ttuck" is perfectly willing to the arrangement. There is 110 rule lor spoiling proper names, and it remains a question of doubt as to whether it was error or entcnt in the Ral eigh Gazette, colored Republican organ, when it designates the Democratic nominee for Governor as "Sigh Watson." The Japanese invariably link marriage and death together, and the bridal veil of a young lady in that country i subse quently used as her snroud. Just after the marriage it U carefully put away and , reserved until death makes its use again nec essary. The gold reserve in the United States Treasury has again drop ped to $100,000,000. You see "it is good in Europe," and it all goes there. Silver and paper is tbe only money we Americans use the other is made only for tbe purposes of mortgaging this country to foreigners. Look out for another bond issue by Cleve land, Carlisle, Belmont & Co. The bicycle, having gotten in its work on the livery stable and daddv's Docket book, is now playing thunder with the shoe trade. While people ride, one cheap pair of cycle shoes last about as long as four pair of good walkers. But. along with the free silver wave, tbe cycle has gotten a grip on tbe Ameri can people no power can break loose. Ct Watsox, Democratic nom inee for Governor of North Caro lina, is a forcible speaker. His anti-trust bill, offered before the Legislature, but which failed to pass, will probably help his record outside of Durham, but bis , warehouse bill, offered at same lession, which antagonized th entire tobacco interest of th tate outside of Winston, wil. e a stumbling block in the waj f his election. But great er still, is the difficulty of get ting over the fact that he is t - it J f . . largely me canaiaaie 01 jvope Eliaa and the Revenue gang. Mas. Harriet Bcechsr 8towe is dead. By the publication of her "Uncle Tom's Cabin" she so Incited northern abolitionist against the South that perhaps she did more to bring on the late war the death of thous ands and thousinds of both abolitionist and southerners than all other causes combined. In that other land to which she has recently migrated it is a reason able supposition that she will meet some of those from either side who has preceded her, where the Herald hopes an amicable adjustment may be reached. "AOZACTLY." The Raleigh correspondent of tho Charlotte Observer gives au interview with Mcj. W. A. Guth rie, from which it appears that politics this year are on ' a level with Bill Arps idea of calico too jncertaiii to bet on, . The very honesty of tho expressions is puzzling to tlie coppers. The Major is reported as saying : "I believe there are more Pop Populists in North Carolina than any other party upon a plurality vote. In 1892 they made no ap preciable inroads into the Repub lican party and nearly their entire strength came from the Demo crats. In 1894 they voted with the Republicans, and no man can uow tell within 20,000 votes the relative strength of the Democrats, Populist or Republicans. It would be a pure guess. No rne knows whether there will be two or three State tickets, or can tell until after tho last national convention ends. "No one has everjapproached me, proposing to speak by author-. ity, us to a change of Russell. Even if such an approach had been made I would not like to discuss the matter, because it ia too personal." The absense of attempt to de- cieve or mislead of party cant or personal egotism in the alove utterances, coining as it does from one of the leaders oi those de nounced as disrupters of govern mentas tricky anarchist, is truly refreshirg in these days of political chicanery. It is a wonder the Major is not unchurched for talking too much that the polit ical bosses do not issue their Bull of excommunication. How dare he have the temerity to say what he has said? The Recorder belonging to no party or clique absolutely impar tial as preferment of any man, would be glad to note open and caudid statements from Democrats and Republicans, that it may lay the entire political position clearly before i'a readers for the solution of their individual judgmet with out bias as to their true interest While no man can tell what will be the outcome of the present condition of political affairs, it is evident to everybody that the crisis is serious enough to demand the attention and action of all those who have rcpect for their interest, their children's future, and the safety and personal liberty of American manhood. Fur somo unexplained reason the R. F. Webb camp ot confed erate veterans, Durham county, wcro not allowed to use their magnificent Float in the parade at Richmond, but the motto it bore, "First at Bethel, last at Ap. Kmattox" was wreathed in cedar And carried by inch member of ihe command, and the end was .servo! in such way no Mortinct could forestall it. The float stood out conspicuously too, telling its own talc, while the men bouviaced on the floor or the ground, and cat in mess as in the days of trouble long ago, like brothers engaged in a high and common -Cause. IXTKXTIOXAL DKCKPTlOX. There are lots and lots of honest men some of thf m the ignorant dupes of gold syndi cates, who profess to believe that the silver men want to make fifty cents pay a dollar debt. These poor fellows should not be abused, but pitied. But. It is criminal falsehood wfien such an inteligent sheet as the Filadelphia Times charges that the west and south want to pay their eastern indebtedness in dishonest, or 50 cent dollars, The Times is guilty of slander, if not of criminal libel, when it knowing makes this sweeping false charge against the best men of the two largest and most constitution and justice loving people of this country of ouri, which ought to be great but is not, because of our absolute subjection to the money power of foreign mortgagees and pawn-brokers. It pays but a poor tribute to fie honesty or intilcct of the voters of these great sections when it makes this charge, and makes an ass of itself when it presumes we are to ignorant we do not understand, that it wants us,' instead of pajing a dollar debt with a dollar, to pay a dol lar with a gold dallar, enhanced by unjust and unconstitutional methods, to the value of two dollars and a half, since the contraction of ttiedebt. The Times knows that the silver men want one dollar to be as good as another gold paperor aught else that the imprint of thegoverment makes it responsible for, and it also knows that when this is donej European Sylocks will not ex port our money as fast as it is coined, and that we will not be left bare of some money tor the purposes of trade among our selves that there will no longer be necesity to continue interest bearing and premium selling bonds to maintain American commerce, American credit, and American honor. The contention of the silver people is that we must have American money for Americans they do not dispense with gold or degrade it, but they 'want gold, silver and greenbacks to be a legal tender. The Times knows this. . GET TXETHEU. ' ' Old time politicans are super stitious about the "jingle," or euphony, of a presidential tick et, and they are calling such names as "Bryan and Black bum." "Bland and and Bryan," "Teller and Tillman," etc. Take your choice. Either ticket would win if the silver forces can be concentrated. but therein lies the difficulty. The Democratic party wants tbe prestige of saving the country, and though they have frequent ly made most ignoble failures to do so, hold on to their leaky old ship with bull dog tenacity, while the Populist, who claim the parentage of the silver idea have Buffered the agony of its birth, have spent restless nights rocking the white off' erring, and have brought i. to respectable manhood through trials and tribulations, are not disposed to surrender its guar dianship to one who has given the child nauseous doses of poison whenever he was tbe at tending physician. If the apostles of legal tender silver of constitutional money, want to honor and protect this youth who bears the silver shield of American prosperity and happiness, it now appears that both Democrat and Repub lican who has his at d posteritys interest at heart, must attend the banquet and assist in the crowning to be held in the home of his parents. The Recorder is satisfied the Southern and Western Republi cans will be willing, and it is also satisfied that southern Pop ulist would be willing to trust most either of the tickets men tioned. Mil Isn't It. WisiiisoTON, July 2. The comparative statement of the government receipts and expen ditures issued by the Treasury department to-day shows the to tal receipts from all sources during the fiscal year just closed to have been $326,189,22(3, and the expenditures $352,231,457, which leaves a deficit for the year of f 20,042,214. Although there was a surplus for June of $2,359,430,' it is expected that the floret for July will show a deficit of at least $10,000,000 and probably more. The Ke York Herald has this to say of the situation of things in that state: "The situation is like a moun tain forest in August, ready for the match. The Republican leaders are In Ignorance of the actual State of affairs it has all come about in three or four weeks. The county Democratic leaders, having become ac quainted with it in their cau cuses, are secretly anxious for free silver to triumph at Chi cago. They think they can shift the tariff isiu9 and carry the farmers almost solidly for free silver." Do not wear impermeable end tightening hats that constrict the blood-vessels of the scalp. Use Hall's Hair Renewer occasionally, sod you will not be bald. ' . Dr. Mott Abroad. i St. Louis, Mo., July I. Dr. L. J. Mott, chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the Na tional' Silver Party, gives out that . the delegates , to that party's convention do not, in tend holding an hour hurrah session and then marching en masse into tae ranks of the Populists. The two national conventions convene here July 22. It has been confidently explained and asserted by some Fopuiist lead ers that-such a move on the part of the silver party has been de termined upon. Chairman Mott says that his people aire, not to be swallowed, absorbed; or dis organized. "We intend to rnaintoin our party organizatirn," said Chair man Mott, "and do not contem plate for a moment the execu tion of the plan hitherto out lined.", - ; Tillman Bays "1 to 1 or Bunt." Chicago, July 2. "If," said Senator Tillman, "the gold people attempt to swing to any 'man, or if any man attempts to secure their support, it will be found that this support is- a veritable shirt of Nessus, and it will prove the un doing of. any man who dons it." Mr. Tillman seemed somewhat interested in Mr. Whitney's move ment, speaking of him as the "great moral persuader," but pre dicting that he would find when it was too late that his mission would be useless. The South Car olina Senator said that no com promise was to be thought of for a minute. He confessed that he was utterly at sea as to who the nominee would be, saying that it was the first convention he had ever attended where the question of principle received more atten tion than the question of candi dates. "Yet I have faith that we shall find the right man, and I know we shall get thejight plat form' V "The shibboleth is still 16 to 1 or bust hut the other fellows are going to do the busting." John R. Beaten. Chicago, July 2. The match race betweeu John R. Gentry, 2:03J, and Joe Patchen, 2:04, proved to be something of a fizzle at Washington Park to day. Gen try was out of condition and much distressed. It was practically a walk-over for Patchen in two straights. Time, 2:03$ aud 2:06 f It was meet and proper that so many thousand southrons, veter ans and sons of veterans, should have attended the laying of the corner-stone of the Jeff Davis monument at Richmond this week. It was not only a. tribute to Davis as the head-piece of what gome are pleased erroneously to call the "Lost Cause, but an em phatic declaration of Heroes tot tering on the edge of the grave, that they acknowledged no blot, blemish or rust on tho escutcheon of constitutional right and per sonal manhood which they bore thirty years. ago, the principles of which are indelibly recorded ou Honor's roll forevermore. Some of the nortnern papers are advising the people to cele brateon the 4th. Why should we? It would simply be a piece oi hypocracy a sad reminder that every principle setforth in the declaration of that day 17CG, for which our ancestors fought and bled, has been lost tons and humanity. Why should we degrade ourselves by the en actment of a comic farce por traying our Esau characteris tics?

Harper, the originator of Kai-Ku-Ra, tell what it tin done for him : I was great sufferer from kidtiev disease ml indigestion for twelve or fifteen years, ni had become to be an invalid. 1 tried great ninny different remedies, but none gave me any relief nntil I commenced using Kai-Ku-Ra. When 1 commenced using Kai-Ku-Ra 1 did not expect to live long, and did to as a kind of a forlorn hope. After using it a couple of day 1 commenced to improve and continued to im prove, and in three months, during which time 1 used bo other medicine, 1 was completely cured.

C, says: The Durham-Harper Medicine Co., Dur ham, A'. C: Dkak Sirs I have been great sufferer with indigestion for over ten years, and have had the very best country physician that could have been had, without any permanent relief. My case became so bad that I concluded I must soon die if I did not get relief. I decided alwu't the lost of September or first of October to go to Chase City mineral springs, and had day set to start, but just before that day I met with a friend in Durham, who told me what a great sufferer he had been with this same trouble and had been cured by the use of your Kai-Ku-Ra. I then concluded to get one package and try it for one week before I went to the springs. I did not go to the springs, and have used half dor.cn packages of Kai-Ku-Ra, and am to-day well and can eat anything I wish without any suffering from it. I can't say enough for your valuable medicine, and I decided to write you this without your request, in order that our suffering friends might know what your medi cine has done for me, if you choose to make it known. I am your Luting friend, (Signed,) RUFUS BARBEE. We could add many more testimo nials, but it is not necessary. The originals of these are all on file at our office, and can be seen at any time.
