VOL. 76 NO. 26. DURHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1896. ESTABLISHED 1820 Vicb Presidential nominee Bewail has declined to yield his place to Tom Watson of Geor gia, and the people will have to settle the matter for them in November, . Johnston county Democrats have do special delegates to their conventions every mem ber of the party, present exer cising: that right. This keeps down the cut and dried program of ring rule. President Cleveland has is sued a proclamation warning the citizens of the United States against rendering assistance to the, Cuban Insurgents. As in everything else, he sets the will and wishes of this people at defiance. There i something radically rotten in the moral atmosphere which tolerates, and sometimes courts, the association of a male leper, while it puts beyond the pale of reformation or recogni tion, a woman guilty of the same sin. "Lovk is, merely a madness," said Shakespeare, "and I tell you deserves' as well a dark house and a whip os mad men do, and the reason they are not so punished and cured is that the lunncy is so ordinary that the n'hippcrs are iu love too." , If there were such a thnig as personal pride in a party, it must have been humiliating to the Democratic Executive committee to come down - from - the high cushioned seats they have filled with so much dignity, to court alms at the hands of those they Lad vilified, sneered at, and rot ten egged. Things have narrowed down to free silver or no money. Gold is not, never Las been, never will be, a medium of trade. It is tlm 1ifut (Ytlhifaral. Tf. tww- session will give credit any where. Jt is the pawn brokers means of extorting usury, and its concen tration in the Lands of the few. simply the means of oppressing the balance of the world. Jkxlh Pk itch a lift says Mc-i Kinley will carry North Carolina this foil.- We counot conceive what kind of narcotic our junior senator Lad taken when he gave mouth to such expression. What ever he may know about national and international affairs, he is ladly otr as to the sentiment of the people of this state. There is hardly a corjral's guard iu any party here who can bo driven to vote for a gold platform. It Las been considered a reflec tion upon the literary world, and an outrago upon Milton, that he only got $25 fur Lis "Paradi; Lort." It was rather tough on a blind won, we admit, to take the result of so much lubor nold by the publishers for thousands of dol lars, for such a pittance Yet, the woy times are now, wheal at fifty cents a bunhcl is ten times higher than the product ofbrain and liter ary attainment. The fellow ho lias the brute strength to plow 1. tec rs in a new ground, or maul rails ran earn more weekly wage? than Milton, Byron, Hums and Shake pears could cam with brain and Icii. m kt MS Mm- illillMln.il mi Tyciio r.iuiiK, the famous Danish mnthemalician.waskiiown a the "Wizard of the Uolden Now."

In the matter of the fight be tween the Seaboard Air-Line and . the Southern ' Railway. Judge Simon ton yesterday en tered the following order modi fying the injunction order of July 27: "It having been biougbt to. the notice of the court that the rates filed by the beaboard AirLine system on the 17th of July last were,, re ported to the Inter-State Com merce Commission, and that under the "provision of the act to regulate commerce, ten days' notice must be given before such rates can be changed, it is or dered that the order of the 17th of July heretofore made in this cause be so modified that the restraining order therein pro vided shall as to the Georgia. Carolina and Northern railroad company, the Seaboard Air- Line, It. C. Hoffman, president. E. St. John, vice president, and V . E. " McBee, general superin tendent, begin eleven days from this date. The said order of July 17th does not apply to epectal ' excursion rates custo mary among the railroad compa nies." , . Horrible Accident, ; Atlantic City, N. J., July 3O. A terrible railroad catastrophe took place at the Meadows, about two miles out of this city, shortly after 6:30 o'clock -this evening, resulting in the death of s2 people, so far as can be learned, and the wounding of 80 others. A. train left her consisting of seven cars, over the West Jersey rail rood, bear ing a special excursion of Red Men and their friends, of Bridgetown, N. J., and Salem, and bad reached the croKsini? of the Reading Railroad when it was struck by the 5:45 down express from Philadelphia, de molishing two cars and telescop ing the two following.' The en gine of the Reading train be came a totd wreck, killing the engineer and fatally injuring the fireman, and the car behind it was also thrown from the track and many of its occupants killed or injured. Hut Sew. Chicago, Ills., July 30. There were sevn prostrations from extreme heat here yester day. Reports from the principal cities and towns of the west and south tell of unusually hot weather. St. Louis reports 34 prostrations, many of whom will probably die. Thirty-six horses fell dead in the streets and scores of dogs were driven mad. The thermometer was 03. The auflfering is increased by humidity in the atmosphere Two deaths are reported at Louisville, with the thermome ter at 98, breaking the hot weather record of 15 years. At Quincey, Ills., it was 100 in the shade, and many are prostrated, none seiiously, how ever. Clarksville, Tenn., July 30. Twenty-three heat victims wore reported in this vicinity yesterday. The mercury regis tered 100 degrees. A farm hand, name unknown, fell dead near Kennedy. Garnett Roach, a wealthy young southern Ken tucky planter, was over come in his tobacco field, and is in a critical condition. Sixteen workmen at work on a water main in this city were prostrat ed. Three workmen -on the electric street railway and two street grading Lands were al 0 overcome. It was thought the hottest day in ten years. Savasnah, Ga., July 30. A number of prostrations from the extreme heat were reported to day of which two were fatal. The thermometer at the weath er bureau recorded 100i this afternoon. In private offices and stores the record was as high as i04. HOW JOE FKEIjS, In yesterdays Charlotte Obser ver, editor Caldwell makes lengthy and adverse criticism of the action of the Democratic ex ecutive committee. He submitted to the action of the Chicago con vention under graceful protest- as nicely as might be expected of a defeated And disapinted gold bug. But it seems he could stand no more, and has in the following, apparently yieled the ghost. Listen to his wail of woe: Nbis proceeding at Raleigh is monstrous, appalling. When, the first suggestion of it was made, six months ago, it was received by the masses of Democrats with in credulity; it was rejected "as idle newspoper talk. By such as ac cepted as true the announcement thntuch a deal was on foot, the knowledge was received with hor ror and indignation. Now we are face to face with the fact. What shall we do? Vote forMcKinley? No; Stay away from the polls? No. What, then, can we do? We We can vote for the Democrats on the ticket and scratch from it the names of those who are not Democrats. We had never expected to live to see the day when"1 the once proud, , courageous V Democratic party should become nerveless after one defeat, grovel in the dirt before its conquerors and beg of them for terms. Oat or Politic. Philadelphia, Pa., Jnly 31. Wm. F. Harrity, until recently the chairman of tho Democratic National committee, and for years a leader in the party councils, made the interesting announce ment today that he has retired from active politics.. Iu answer to inquiries upon the subject he made the following stiijoment: " it is true that I have de termined to withdraw from active partaunsbip.. V- m Victims of Heat. St. Lous, Mo., July 31. At least 50 victims of the terrible heat which contiuues to prevail here were treated yesterday at the city dispensary and various hos pitals throughout the city. - There were probably other cases that were not made public. Ten of these victims Lave died and more may succumb.' The total number of prostrations so far as rcortcd is seventy. RKMT EASY, KILL. Presidential nominee W. J. Bryan can now go to Lis couch after the arduous duties of the day and sleep quietly. If in that sleep, there come dreams, as perchance there may, Oqdicus will put a smile on the lips of the Moses to whom the country looks to lead them to the land of politi cal and personal freedom, willed us by illustrious ancestors as a sacred heritage of human rights for all time. TheTainmony Tiger the most imperious, powerful and beet or ganized baneful enemy of real lemocrocy the controlling power of the party's success, Las "flung up the sponge" and endorsed the nominee of the Chicago conven tion. Evidently it wasa bitter pill to Tammony, but though heretofore arrogant in her Leviathan power, she has surrendered at discretion, and we lake itthatsmallcr fry will, as a matter of self preservation, follow suit, and that the silver giant of Nebraska will get a largo Elurauty or Votes cast in Aovera Dr. If there was any "lien on" in the Populist County Convention held here yesterday, she did not sit quietly on the nest Tho bad boys poked her off, and found she was faking or being faked only one imitation egg being iound in the nest. MT ANT TO VVtjK. " The Executive- Committee'of the democratic party of North Carolina met in Raleigh on Thursday night, and promul gated the following prophetic result of their deliberations- significant of what may or may not happen "on or about Au gust 13th," in the city of Ral- eigh. "Whereas, both the Democra tic and Populist parties, in their National conventions, have no minated William - J. Bryan for the presidency, and Whereas, an 1 electoral ticket for Bryan and Sewall, and another for Bryan and Watson endanger the election of Bryan and promote the chances of Mc- Kinley obtaining the electoral vote of North Carolina. Now, therefore, to the end that all persons favoring the election of Mr. Bryan may have their vote counted in the Elec toral College for him. Resolved. That the Democra tic parly hereby offers to the Populist party a fair and just division of the Bryan electors, and that the chairman of the Committtee is authorized to confer with the chairman of the executive committee of the People's party, looking to a nion of the two parties upon one el ecu ral ticket, and report to this committee as early as practicable. PECIJNKS JOINT DEBATE. " Judge Russell. Republican nominee for Governor declines to meet Cy Watson, Democratic nominee in joint debate, and with hi usual and noted chi canery, shifts such responsibil ity from his shoulders to those of his committee. But this want cut much of a figure after the 13th,when Guth rie will enter the field, and the rice farmer cf New Hanover will dream of his school boy days of the openings line of Caesar, "Urn nia Gallia divisa est in tres pastes." (All Gaul is divided into tl ree parts) and realise that his part is that of defeat; and farther, that air the gaul of bitterness must not be given the people- that politicians must take their share along with other folks. There has for several years been a growing sentiment in the rural districts against voting for a lawyer for anything save judge or solicitor. Now, all of the Gubernatorial candidates are lawyers of reputation, and it will be Hobson's choice so far as this is concerned. It can hardly be claimed by either that he isn't lawyer enough to hurt him. Judge Russell says: "I am clear that as a rule we should discourage joint debates." We suppose the'exepption would be in meeting a fellow easy to do up. HIGH AUTHORITY. The best money for any nation or country, so it is stated by those who havo studied the subject most, is bimetallism. It is best for the prosjicrity of any people. (VII agree, except the "know it all" gold bugs, that roononetall urn, a single gold standard, is not the best thing for tho world or any nation. It gives the wealthy the power to control the money while the masses suiter for a cir culating medium. ." Alexander Hamilton was Washington's secretary of the treasury. He is regarded by most men of intelligence as the best financier this country Las ever possessed. Every schoolboy is familiar with Mr. Webster's grand tribute to lam, as the magi cian "who touched the deed corpso of the public treasury and it sprung itdo life." We Lave recently come across a deliver ance of this great authority which wodesird to reproduce as appli cable to the present condition of our country and the main issue involved iu the presidential can vasj. Alexander Hamilton, iu Lis address to the United States con gress in 1792 on the money ques tion, in determining on what metal the unit of value should rest, decided that it should rest on both metals, gokl aud silver, in the following words: "But upon the whole, it seems to be most advisable not to at tach the unit exclusively to eith er of the metals; because this can not be done effectually without destroying the office aud character of one of them as money Reducing it to the situation 01 mere mer- chandise, which, accordingly, at different times, has been proposed from different and very respect able quarters; but which would probably be a greater evil than occasional variations in the unit from the fluctuations in the rela tive value of the metals, especi ally if care be taken to regulate the proportion between them with an eye to their commercial value. To annul the use of either of the metals as money is to abridge the quality of the circulating medium and is liable to all the objections which arise from u comparison oi the benefits of a full, with the evils of a scanty circulation." scipio at"ijternum. Hon. W. F. Harrity, of Penn sylvania, a prominent democrat, is to retire to private life. In speaking of his retirement that able and conservative journal, the Washington Post, uses the follow ing eloquent language, that would be a credit to the best writers on any paper today. It is grand; Over the throbbing and reluc tant wires there comes to us the announcement that Hon. Wil liam F. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, once postmaster of Philadelphia, once chairman of the Democratic National Committee, frequently a hero, and always beautiful and commanding that Harrity is about to retire from public life and seek in communion with na ture the sympathy and apprecia tion he has not found in sufficient warmth and satisfactory abund ance elsewhere. Like Scipio Afri- canus, pursued by an ungrateful populace aud hounded by the envious Cato, he will take refuge in his own Liternum, aud there, far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, he'll bare his racked bosom to the fragrant wind and tell bis sorrows to the listen ing hills. He has said it The message has gone forth. After fourteen years of stress and fury as the bannr bearer of Democracy, he turns to forest aisles and purling brooks, to nymphs and dryads, to solitude and nature. He does not say Le is offended. He goes with pity for Lis enemies and speech less affectiou for Lis friends. He is just a wearied conqueror a Cincinnatus returning to Lis plow, a Horace dreaming of Glycera and Lalage, a Scipio hidden in the roses of his garden. We do not lose Li in altogether, praised be the kindly fates! We merely mourn his vanishing, while the knowledge that ho moy reappear at need robs the salt tear of half its bitterness and leaves us strength to Lope. m Let us think of him, then, as one who goes, but may return. Let us remember that we can still invoke him in emergency. And let us take comfoit in the thought that our bereavement is Lis gain picture Lira embowered and at rest, remote from the sordid noise and strugglo of the outer, world, the dotard wiud among Lis locks, the bees distilling honey from Lis lips, the Naiads watching as he dreams. Let us take courage thus,, braee up our souls, and speed the joyous bagatelle. Loot. A Knight of Pythias badge by W.C. Brsdsher aomewhert in town. Reward will be paid for its return. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report AD50LUTELY PURE TOURIST EXl'ENSKS IN EUROPE. There have been many esti mates published of the amount of money Americans spend on their trips abroad. The following from the pen of Franklin Matthews in the Chautanquan, says that the total amounts to millions each year: Taking the second-class travelers into consideration witlf the first-cabin travelers, I am of the opinion that $000 is about the average expenditure on the trip. It is a mistake to suppose that the wealthy traveler spends large sums on the other side. Such persons usually take ser vants along and the ordinary ex penses are quite a heavy drain for a rich man or woman. Once on the other side, they go to some quiet place, and they usually count their pennies with the care of those of less liberal means. A large sum is expended every year in Europe in the purchase of clothing. I think, however, that this does not average more than f 100 for each traveler. Considerable money is spent in the purchase of souvenirs, but this probably does not exceed $20 on the average for each traveler. Those who have been in Europe before spend almost nothing for souvenirs on following trips. Still, when one thinks of the army that goes to Europe every year, an expenditure of $G00 for each person amounts to an enor mous sum. For the 100,000 who crossed in 1895 this would amount to $00,000,000. That sum, in my estimation, represents about what Americans pay each year for the satisfaction of cross ing the oceac and spending more or less time in sight-seeing in Europe. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than any other diseases put together, and until the last lew years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounc ed it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken inter nally in doeses from 10 drops to a teaspoonf ul. It acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollors for any ease it fails to cure. 8end for circu lars and testimonials. Address. F. J. Cheney, To'edo, O SrSold by Druggists, 75c Free 1'ilU. Send your address to II.
