AOITATOUS WANT NO AGITATION The gold organs, says the At lanta Constitution, seem to be very much disturbed , because Mr. Bryan has announced that the movement which the people have made him the leader of is to go on for the next for years. Some of them go so far as to deprecate the continuance of "th tree Hvtr agitation." But why do they not show some con sistency in the matter ? The an nouncement that has been made in Mr. Bryan's behalf was some days behind the happy declara tions of the gold stand ar 1 her aids that Mr. M. A. Hanna had boen t winded for another four years, and that be would im mediately proceed to open bead quarters to the end that the peo ple might have some more edu cation on the money question. What if this but an announce ment that the "agitation" is to be continued by the "sound" money "forces V When the gold men propose to renew the agitation, why should tfcey go blubbering about in the public prints deploring the contiuu ance of a campaign that they themselves boast of having in augurated t Why should the ridiculous Editor Oodltin in one colum applaud Henna's pro posal to "agitate" and in the o her weep over the a nounce n ntof the free coinage men t'Mt tbey will meet Mr Hnnn ai Pildpl, or porkopolis r vthvt-r he .-neeiing i to h and help h:m agitate.

Attorney General Osboreo has submitted his biennial report. In his report he says that dur ing tie past two years there were eighty t.wo murder cases, first degree; seventy six in the second degree; twenty -eight rape cases; flfiy.nine assault with iutent to rape; forty-seven arsoL? fourteen burglary, Art degree; fifty one burglary, sees ond degree; thirty-three man slaughter; fifty six house burn ing. He then closes the para graph with this sentence: "Not a single execution was reported during the two years, and this is very remarkable. f There were two lynchings James F. B-rgereon, white, in Beaufort county, charged with murder, and Robert Chambers, colored, iu Mitchell county, charged with chloroforming and attempting to rape a white woman." The above ho7s that there is something radica'Iy wronr in our laws or else a lot vt inuo people have been made to suffer by being wrongfully arrested and tried for their lives. General Osborne's report says that two hundred and twenty even people were charged with a ciime that required a life to alone for it, yet there was not a Kingle execution in ti e state.

B.irrie, the novelist, took a dislike to the American parlor, and in th course of some re marks in Washington about it he said: "The idea of having th largest and best-furnished room is the house reserved for infrequent callers, instead of allowing the children of the. household to enjoy it, was never a pleasant one to me. It was or.ee told by a bright boy that he seldom was allowed to entf the parlor of his home unless it was during a 'funeral ceremony or something like that.' This may have described the situa tion too strongly, but it was much nerer tolhe truth than otherwise." TOMMIK KKTTLK TALKS. Representative Tommie Settle, talking in Washington with a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, said: "The trouble with my state is Hint there are too many silver mm there.

"History shows," !'e Paid a few days ago, "that evt ;-y party which has uudertakon h make :i taiilf bill has been beaten on it et the next election. We have enough risk to ruu io trying to pass one bill. What is the use of beoming responsible for two?" Wilsois plau is characteristic of him. He want j to have an extra session called mid nave a complete tariff bill introduced and passed ; in the House ; the first week. Then it is to be sent over to the senate and reported back from the Finance Committee without any long hearings. "After that is done," he says, "let Aid rich and Allison and a few of the big men make their speeches and explain the bill. That is all the country wants to know. Alto they have got through talking they can turn the bill over to the other side and tell them 'Now i you wautto filibuster go ahead. You have got eighteen months to filibuster in.' How long do you suppose they would keep it up" WOMAX VS. MAX. W n editors g-t to "scrap ing" t-icb other it is about timt for everybody else to quite th Misiness.

The plucky little vessel, the Threo Friends, which has beet arrested several times for carrying arms and men to Cuba to assist the Cuban patriots in throwing off tho galling yokeol oppression, has been admmitted io bail for its last "crime" And will start for t'uba again in a fow days. A Telegram from Jackson ville, Fla., where the vessel wa ast seized, says: "The owner will furnish bail after which ey will load arms for Cubu, b it will carry no men, so as not to be amenable to punishment u-nl-r the statuti referring to rme. expeditions, as pnssd uiHn by the Supreme court Cubans havo quantities of arms in FWida, which they wiu send to Maceo at at the earnest op oortuuity, he having notified the junta that the suppij was run ninir low."

WHAT NECkSiTY BRINGS. Since the radiant orb of civil- ization, followed in the wake of the Star of Bethleham, ond threw its effulgient light of Christianity, over awaked hu manity, men have oft had wild weird personal experiences, both n war, in contact with the elements, and with beast more savage than the men who claim to be formed in the image of the great Creator and arbiter of all things; which happen here in he mundane sphere of trial ana tribulation. As one of tho sin cursed sons c f Adam, we heve been there; While meanness end venaity may dominate the world by a arge majority while then are ots of hypocrites in the church es, who teke high seats in the amen corner, and cover their peculations in the gambling and cheating world with the bor rowed cloak of Heaven.

If the next congress carries out the wishes of the American peo ple it will recognize tho Cuban patriots and belligerents and put a ttop to the merciless butcheries of Weyler. At a recent mass meet iug of Cuban sympathize! in St. Louis they sent the following let ter to President Cleveland which expresses the desire of nine-tenths of the citizens in the United States: "The press reports that have been published for mouths putt, ond are being daily, puUishcd from the island of Cuba, indicate that the war being waged by the Cuban people for liberty, on the one side and by the forces of the Spanish government, ' for their subjugation on the other, has de generated into a bloody and mer ciless system of extermination in which the women, children, the aged and infirm, and other nou combatants are subjected to in human and barbarous treatment by the Spanish solidiery." Tho letter then refers m length tltA nMtMAitd iaKa inne ond il . . 1 ieir barbarous concludes: "In a spirit of christian charity, we appeal to you in the name of humanity and American civiliza tion to make effective the repeat edly expressed will of ti e vast majority of your fellow-citizens by grarting to the Cuban people the right, of belligereuts which we believe will at once modify the horrors of this war and tend to its speedy termination."
