The is sleeping the sleep that the aDgels
bring.
The absolute calm ol unending rest,
And has ceased the battle that was too
hard
For the timid, childish breast,
And nobody knew in the hurrying
world mn
That the b inner of one young life was
lurled.
She had lought the fight bravely, but
the fates were stern;
And life lor the poor is not the same -As
it is for those that money hits
To the heights of power and fame,
ci n ii oiroa that were never eay
Were closed, and life softly ebbed away.
So sne, the toiler, whose tired hands
Had striven so hard to be strong,
Whose frail young life had been old
enough
To kno v that it was too long,
Had reached the haven whose life is
Had gained the port where wcrk must
cease.

. MR. CLEVELAND SILVER-
As the Atlanta Journal says, the
free silverites denounce everybody
who is not willing to risk the expe
riment of free silver at the present
as a 'Wdolater."- They are never
tired of abusing President Cleveland
as an enemy of silver" and as a
"gold bag,"
Senator Vest had the temerity to
declaie in a speech a few days ago
that the President "in his great
State paper had not one word to say
in regard to bimetallism.
This assertion is absolutely con
trary to the facts, and Senator Vest
put himself in an unenviable atti
tude when he said it.
In the message which the Senator
says contains "not one word in re
gard to bimetallism," President
Cleveland attacks the Sherman act
on the ground that its continued op
eration "would destroy the parity
between the two metals by establish-
a discrimination in favor of gold."
He goes on to say that if the acL
is not repealed the gold supply in
the treasury will be exhausted and
"gold arid silver must part company,
and the government must fail in its
established policy to maintain the
two metals on a parity with each
other."
Again he says:
If, as many of its friends claim,
silver ought to occupy a larger place
in our currency and the currency of
the world through general interna
tional co-operation and agreement, it
is obvious that the United States
will not be in a position to gain a
hearing in favor of such an arrange
ment so long as we are willing to
continue our attempt to accomplish
the result single-handed.
In all these utterances the Presi
dent speaks as the friend of sil ver
and indicates as the only line of
policy that which will sustain sil
ver. In his letter to Governor North
ern he declares:
I am a friend of silver, but I be
lieve its proper place in our cur
rency can only be fixed by a rsad
justment of our currency legislatioE
and the inauguration of a consistent
and comprehensive financial scheme.
I think such a thing can only be
entered upon profitably and hope
fully after the repeal of the law
which is charged ith all our finani
cial woes. In the present state of
the public mind this law cannot be
built upon nor patched in such a
way as to relieve the situation.
The President is a bimetallism He
is a friend of silver, but he is not in
favor of a silver standard.

OUR DEFENSELESS COAST.
Brigadier General Joseph O.
Breckinridge, Inspector General of
the United States army, has made
a report to tbe Secretary of War,
indicating a condition ot affairs
prevailing in regard to enr coast
defenses which is officially charuc
terized as "disgraceful." It is
shown that almost the entire south
ern coast on the Atlantic seaboard
U absolutely unprotected and at
the mercy of a foreign foe. Forts
hae been allowed to crumble
away, cannon have rusted and canD
non carriages rotted.
To quote Inspector General
Breckinridge these forts and their
armameuts "now serve the single
purpose apparently of reminding
us ot the high estate from which
we have fallen and that we are not
well prepared for resistance against
any bold and aggressive govern
ment. '
In advance sheets famished the
Secretary of War of that part of
his annual report relating to un
garrisoned fortifications, General
Breckinridge says: "The very care
ful inspection ot nngarrisoned posts
between Baratoria Bay, Louisiana,
and the Delaware River, made
under your supervision, haB brought
very plain 'y to view the defenseless
cor.ditiou of our Southern coast and
the great importance of immediate
action if these fortifications are to
be relied on to repe? attack.
"Owing to the spread of some of
the cities they were built to protect
and the increased range ot modern
artiilery a few of the sites occupied
are no longer valuable, but, in a
large majority of cases, they are
now and doubtless always will be
of vast importance to the" coun
try. "That there is no immediate
probability of a foreign war will be
granted, bnt it must be admitted
that such a contingency is not im
possible, dnd that should it happen
within the utti ten years we must
reply in the main for the protection
of our harbors on the forts and gons
we now have, no matter how in
ferior they may be as compared
with more recent inventions,
"For various reasons garrisons of
twenty-seven of these forts have
been withdrawn, until there is no;
now, nor has there been :n most
ca?es for more than twenty years,
a single soldier to care for them,
ordnance sargents, sometimes su js
erannnated and decrepit, alone ex
cepted.
"At the outbreak of the civil war
this was not the case. No nation
had provided better guns and forti
fications or more completely and
intelligently established its lines ot
coast and harbor defense than we
had, and the termination of the
war fcund this equality undis
turbed. To day, wbile great im
provements in the designs for our
fortifications and armament have
been nade more guns may be ex
pected within the century, no great
progress towards the vast array of
pieces necessary to arm our sea
coast is probable, and no appropria
tion for fortifications, unless we
are brought face to face with stesn
necessity or receive one of those
sharp lessons by which nations as
well as individuals learn to observe
ordiuary caution in business trans
action."
General Breckinridge will Eugs
gest to Secretary Lamont the adopa
tion of certain measures toward
eorrecting the abases and neglect
that have placed the Southern coast
eo absolutely at the mercy of an
enemy. He desireB that an estia
mate be made for cleaning and
clearing up the forts, and such reD
pairs as will prevent further deter
ioration. He will also suggest
that a sufficient expenditure be an-1
thorized to put all guns and carria
ages that can be relied on in con
neetion with the operation ot torn
pedo lines in a serviceable condi-1
tion. Younger and more active
men, he contends, should replace
the particular ordnance eergeants
on duty at,the forts inspected and
he asks that this be done as eooo
&3 practicable.
Furthermore, he will suggest
"that an effort be made, where it
can be done prcperly, to counteract
the impression which prevails, even
in the army, that theBe forts are
junk ehops, and their armament
and stores obsolete, and that in
structions be issued which will
enable or compel, all ordnance
sergeants when once the armaments
are put in order, to keep them so,-'
General Breckinridge wants an
estimate made for the repair or
construction ot necessfry wharves
and landing stages, nd another
estimate for barracks and quarters
and ior the preparation of the neca
esiary sides outside forta occupying
important defensive points when
outeida eitea Rre available.

Ninnie Quinn, in Fetter's Magazine
The Constitution and the Enles.
As the Philadelphia Times says,
Senator Voorhees, in entering upon
the "contest of endurance" on Wed
nesday night, made a dignified and
dispassionate statement of his atti
tude in the conduct of the silver de
bate. If It appeared to the general
reader disappointingly apologetic
and lacking in the aggressive spirit
which the exigency demands, it must
be conceded that the man who is
charged with the direction of a bat.
tie has a better appreciation of its
difficulties than his critics are likely
to have.
Mr. Voorhees' speech was in fact
an appeal to the dignity and cour
tesy that has hitherto prevailed in
the Senate and to the honor and
fairness of the obstructionists. He
disdained all desire to restrict the
freedom of debate, but he appealed
to them simply to express a willing.
ness to submit to a vote, to intimate
a time, no matter how distant, when
they would aree that a vote should
be taken. His opponents were si
lent. Evidently the appeal to their
honor was vain.
Up to this point there can be no
criticism of Mr. Voorhees' attitude.
Reliance upon the honor of his as
sociates i3 natural to a gentleman,
and the Senate is supposed to be
male up of gentlemen exclusively.
But it will be generally felt that he
errs in giving to the rule of cour
tesy tbe force of constitutional law.
He had been urged from outside, he
said, to appeal to the presiding of
ficer to sustain" him "in a motion not
provided for in the rules and to pro
ceed to a vote," but he "would as
soon think of committing open high
treason or private murder as of com
mitting such a crime as that." Why?
Where is the treason? Where is the
crime?
Tne Constitution empowers the
Senate to make rules for its own
government, which have the force of
law; but it is no part of the purpose
of the Constitution that the Senate,
by its rules or by the absence of
rules, shall vacate the function com
mitted to it, that of orderly legisla
tion. The crime is committed by
those who prevent the Senate's exer
cise of its powers. Their conduct
is outside the rules, though still
within the Constitution. The au
thority of the Senate rests in the
majority of its members, and they
have no right, either legal or moral,
to surrender it to the minority. If
there is any "treason" it is there. .

OUR WE DING ANNIVERSARY.
A dozen moons have come and gone,
Since you and I became as one;
With heavenly ligh hey seemed to fly
Across our star-bespangled sky;
And though with waning light they
passed,
Each left .us happier than the last.
In numher twelve, in love but one,
Still shines our constant honey moon.
Pierce winter's cold and pelting storm
Has left our hearts untouch'd and warm
Inconstant spring has tried in:vain
To quench our love with thowcrs of rain;
Nor summer's sun with scorching eye
Could drink affection's fountain dry;
Still less shall autumn's yellow leaf,
An emblem prove that love is brief.
The changing seasons but portray,
This earthly body's swift decay;
Our soul's ascending, then shall fly
To glorious immortality.
There freed from earth, still cliDging
fast,
Till Time shall end; and when, at last,
The resurrection mcra shall rise,
And spread its glories through the skies,
We'll stand before the great white
throne,
In faith, in hope, in love still one.

PLAFORM AND SILVER.
As the Louisville Vourier-Jour
nal says, it can not have escaped
attention that Senators discussing
the silver question have' a good
deal to eay about the silver plank
of tbe platform adopted at Chi
cago last year. The friends of re
peal quote its clear mandate with
refereffce to the Sherman law, but
recalcitrant Democrats also try to
find in it some excuse for their re
fusal to carry out the will of the
people. An analysis of the silver
plank ot the platform will show
but little support for the latter
cIpbs. The declaration with referb
ence to eold and silver was as fole
lowt:
"We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
act of 1890 as a cowardly make
shift, fraoeht with possibilities of
danger in the future, which should
make all ot its supporters, as well
as its author, anxious for its speedy
repeal. We hold to the use ot
both gold and silver as the stand
ard money of the country, and the
coinage of both gold and silver
without discriminating against
either metal, or charge for mintage,
but the dollar unit of coinage ot
both metals must be of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value, or
be adjusted through international
agreement, or by such safeguards
of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance of the parity ot the
two metals, and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the
marketn and in payment or debt:
and we demand that all paper cur
rency shall be kept at par with
and redeemable in coin. We insist
upon this policy as especially nec
essary lor tne protection ot tne
farmers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims
of unstable money and a fluctuate
ing currency."
It is just as well to note at the
beginning what this declaration
does not contain. There is no snge
gestion in it of toleration of a fifty
eight-cent dollar. There is not a
syllable of approbation of silver
monometallism. There is no mens
tion of the ratio ot 16 to 1, There
is a distinct declaration that farmers
and laboring men are not interested
in dishonest money, but are the
first to suffer from a degradation ot
the currency. The idea of fiat
money, in whole or in part, is dis
tinctly repudiated. The following
is a fair analysis of what the plat
form demands:
First The immediate repeal of
the Sherman act. This is in a sen
tence by itself, and is suDject to no
conditions. It is, therefore, a equare
declaration for unconditional re
peal.
Second The use of both gold
and silver as money. The Wilson
Repeal Bill provides for this. All
the silver dollars already coined,
which are seven timet as many as
can be kept in circulation, are to
continue a full legal tender.
Third There is a declaration in
favor of the coinage of both gold
and silver, but this is subject to
various qualifications. It is not
a condition precedent to the repeal
of tbe Sherman law. On the con
trary, it provides for some thingb
that can not be reacheu at once. It
says that the Democratic party is
in favor f the coinage of both
gold and silver, ''but" and here
follow the necessary prerequisites
without which it can not safely be
done.
The first condition is that there
must be no discrimination against
either metal. To coin gold at its
bullion value and silver at 58 per
cent, of its bullion value, would be
an enormous discrimination against
gold, such as wou'd drive it out of
circulation. This would annul tbe
previous declaration in favor of the
use of both gold and silver as
money. This idea is further eua
phasized by the declaration that
the dollar nnit of coinage tnnst be
of equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value.
Another condition is that the
value of the two metals must
be adjusted by internation
al agreement or otherwise, so
as to maintain the parity of the
two metals, not only for the paya
ment of debts, but in their purchase
ing power in the markets not for
a day ot month, but "at all times."
We may take it for granted that
the language of this section was
more or lees adapted to the purpose
of reconciling differences of opin
ion, but, taken as a whole, it has a
distinct meaning, whioh can easily
be ascertained. It demands an
immediate discontinuance of the
policy ot purchasing silver bullion
to be stored up in the Treasury
like cord-wood. It declares in fas
vor of the use of gold and silver as
money, which practically everybody
in America favors, the assertions of
the mine owners to the contrary
notwithstanding. But it also de
clares that the interests of the few
millianaire cwuera of silver mines
in this country are not to prevail
over the interest of fai mors and la
boring men. We are not going to
silver monometallism. We are not
going to accept the 58oent dollar.
We will have the coinage of both
gold and silver without charge for
mintage whenever it can be done
without auyj degradation of the
standard of va'ue and not eooner.
The silver lords may rage and
deluded Democrats may amagine
vain things but this is the meaning
I ot the Democratic platform, and it
must be carried out it the party
expects to retain the confidence of
the people of the United fetates.
Brute Force in the Senate.
It is disheartening to hear Sena
tors gravely talking ot a test of
physical endurance over the repeal
of the Sherman act, as though im
portant measures of public policy
were to be decided by mere brute
force. A contest on these lines is
as barbaric as th3 old way of deters
mining public questions by the or
deal of battle. The vigorous yonn?
Senators Irom the Silver States do
not propose that their opponents
shall fight it out under the rales of
the ringr, but what they do propose
is scarcely less brutal. They mean
that if the majority of the Senate,
many of whom are old men, wish
to pass an act demanded by the
public interest they shall remain in
their Beats all day and all night and
for an indefinite time, while these
obstructionists exhaust all tue
manifold devices of delay.
Such a proposition carries its
own conatmnaiion. j.c is not
merely nnstateamanlike; it Is un
manly, brutal. These Senators
have a right to resort to every legU
timate parliamentary motion to
test the sense of the Senate to the
uttermost, but the whole theory on
which their existing power ol de
lay is based is that the Senate is a
body of intelligent gentlemen, who
have such confidence in the honor
and courtesy of one another that
hu rules are necessary to en orce
the decencies of bebate. A cone
testot, physical endurance over
throws this theory entirely and ab
solves the Senators from any legal
or moral obligation to maintain
their courteous rule.
The minority have been allowed
not only all the latitude of debate
than anyone could reasonably dea
maud, but more than their conduct
has entitled them to. Their an
nounced purpose to resort to phy
sical force demands of the majority
the exercise of the inherent author
ity of the Senate to bring this un
seemly contest to an end. If Mr.
Voorhees is the courageous leader
he Is believed to be, and if the
VicesPresident has the judicial
firmness and dignity that the occu
pant of such a position ought to
have, the lawful power is theirs
with the support, of an honest rna
jority, to bring this issue to the
only lawful test, tne test oi votes.
The country not only will sups
port them; it will be content with
nothing elee.J lit is not to be en
dared that the selfish obstruction
ot a few ineereeted attorneys, dem
agogues and cranks shall drag
down the Senato of the United
states to the low standards ot a
Coney Island prize fight. Philck

FLOWERS TO M&.TCH,

With streets all golden, too,
Wi.h nothing for its boundary
Except the sky so blue,
I think the flowers ought to
Be like the rest in hue.
If I was just an angel,
Wits nothng else to do,
I gather golden rods and
Wild asters, white and blue,
And carry them to Heaven,
Around the throne to strew,
The gold to match the city,
So beautiful and fair,
The white to match the dresses
Which all the angels wear.
The blue to match the sky that
Is always blue up there.
Felix Keeland,
rU2 THE QUESTION TO A VOTE.
As the Philadelphia Times says,
the contest of physicial endurance
on which the Senate has embarked
is humilating to the people of the
United Stales, and in eyery way
discreditable to the Senate itself.
That a body of gentlemen, go ver if
ed by traditions of the highest dig
nity and courtesy, should be sub
jected to such .indignity by a sma!
group of parliamentary ruffians, is
an outrage; that they submit to the
indignity without a vigorous asser
tion of their selfrespect is unwor
thy of the Senate's reputation.
The custom of the Senate, which
has attained the authority ot a rule.
assumes that when a number of
gentlemen are met to discuss a
given subject they will all listen to
what each one has to say and wil
not decide tiil all the arguments
have been heard. This is simply
the rale of courtesy, towhich al
gentlemen are subject. But the
moment courtesy is abused and
Senators begin to talk for the
avowed purpose of annoying and
wearing out their associates, that
moment the rule of courtesy is dis
solved and the inherent right o
the majority to govern becomes
paramount.
Unless the Senate have the cour
age to assert this right, a small and
determined minority can defeat any
majority whatever, precisely as a
group of rowdies can defy fi f e times
their number of gentlemen as long
as the latter rely solely upon the
observances of polite society. The
only way to deal with rowdies is to
meet them with force, and the one
way to deal with obstructionists is
to meet them boldly and vote them
down.
The rules ot the Senate apply to
decent debate; they have no appli
cation in a mere physical contest
such as the silver men have invited
at this time. No rules that the
Senate has power to make can
diveet it of its constitutional right
and duty of legislation, and when
ever the majority shall fully resolve
to put an end to this abuse of cour
tesy they can bring the issue to a
vote.
The Speaker of the House of
Commons laid down this essential
principle very clearly against the
Irish obstructionists in 1881. The
House had been in continous session
for two days and nights. There
was no rule of cloture and there
were still members anxious to talk;
but it was evident and avowed that
they were talking only for obstruc
tion. At length, in the morning
of the third day, the Speaker inter
fered, saying:
A necessity has arisen which de
mands the interposition of the
Chair. The usual rale has been
found powerless to insure orderly
debate. An important ' measure,
declared to be urgent in the interest
of the State by a decisive majority,
has been impeded by the action of
an inconsiderable minority of mem
bers, who have reported to those
modes of obstruction which have
been recognized by the House as a
parliamentary offense. The credit
and authority of this House are
seriously threatened; the legislative
powers of the House are par
alyzed. The Speaker thereupon put tbe
main question and it was ordered,
and the minority, after some show
of protest, succumbed. The action
of the Speaker was sustained by
the country, because it was re
cognized that an extraordinary
necessity required this resort
to the inherent authority of the
House, and precisely the same
principle applies to the present
situation in the Senate, There is
no question of the authority, of the
majority it is only a question of
its orderly exercise, annerto this
has been best secured in the Sena
ate by the rule of courtesy, but
that has failed. It is time that the
Senate direct the Vice President
to put the ponding question to a
yote, - ". -

"I know how we can stay at home;
You stand close to the window pane,

"Dear God, please let the raindrops

REPEAL OR NOTHING.
That's Still the Situation Cleveland
and Carlisle Stand Firm.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 13. At
this hour the atmosphere is some
what clarified, and in dissipation
of the Emoke and mists the lines
are seen as clearly drawn in the
great struggle as ever before.
The information comes straight
from the treasury department that
Mr. Carlisle stands pat.
The same intelligence comes
from the white house. Mr. Cleve
land haB not weakend. He is not
disheartened.
From the repeal leaders comes
the same story.
"We are fighting for a principled
they say; "why should we com proa
mise with a minority, and espe
cially when that minority is fights
ing lor self-interest.
Whether it be from this known
state of affairs or the gloominess
occasioned by the steady and con
tinued downpour of rain here to
day, the silver men are much diss
conraged.
They still talk compromise but
not to no end. The southern sil
ver men can formulate no basis
that will satisfy the western silver
men.
The real repeal senators on the
democratic side will submit to no
sacrifice of the principles in
volved.
While the republicans are pro
fessing friendship for repeal, they
are praying that the democrats
mayformulate another "makeshift"
to take the onus of the present law
from their party. And so it goes.
Ihe statement that Mr. Cleve
land had signified his willingness
at any time to sign a compromise
is vain imagining. He has sa'd
nothing one way or the other. He
has made his recommendation to
congress, and there he stops.
It bv some chance a compromise
should be formulated, abandoning
the purpose ot the Voorhees bill,
and pass the senate, it would meet
defeat in the house. If not it would
be vetoed.
No one professes to truthfully
tell the outcome of the situation at
the present time. The situation as
it presents itself to your representa
tive, is still unconditional repeal or
nothing.
Mrv Stewart is still speaking.
It is now und3rstood that Mr.
Voorhees will continue to force
the fighting and compel another
all-night session. Atlanta Jour

patients who, being reported as sick
with malarial, could not justly be given
nurses, instances were testified to by
the Health Board Committes and Sur
geon Faget, where some of Dr. Davis'
patients had died of typical cases of
yellow fever, while he persisted that
they had only malarial. The interests
of the sick demand that the Health
Board act as they did. Dr. Davis had
not regularly practiced until this epi
demic for many years past. He did
valuable serve in the Brunswick epi
demic of 1876, and for that reason he
was employed by Surgeon Murray at the
suggestion of the Health Board when
this epidemic began. Surgeon Murray
to- night reports three aew cases at
Jesup, Dr. Samuels, Mr. Gray and a
child of Mr. Southwell's, and one dis
charged, Mrs, Rowland. Seven cases are
now under treatment at Jesup,
Surgeon Murray officially says he is
morally certain that O'Brien was a refu
gee picked up at Ossabaw by the reve
nue cutter Boutelle at Brunswich over a
month ago.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
ADOPTED BY THK GOLDSBORO RIFLES OK
THE DEATH OF CORPORAL W. A.
FREEMAN.
The lament of the prophet who was r
King in Jerusalem of old, that "Man got
eth to his long home and the mourners go
about tha streets," finds an echo in the
heart of every member of the Goldsboro
Rifles, as gathering in our Armory we
miss the familiar form and congenial
countenance of one endeared to us all by
hN many amiable, 'raits of character and
who walked witn us, as if but yesterday,
and is not. for God has taken him.
For the first time in the history of this
company, since its reorganization years
ago, its members are brought face to face
with the visitation to its ranks of the "fell
sergtant who is strict in his arrest,"
William Arthur Freeman, member of
Co. D. 1st Regt. N. C. State Guard, 24
years of age, standing with poised feet on
the very lintels of a happy manhood, In
whose life the violets were yet blooming
and the summer smilingsweet with pror
ise across the meadow lands of life's spring
time, has been summoned by the Great
Orderly from on High, whose judgments
are incomprehensible,whose ways are una
searchable, whose wisdom rules the uni
yerse, and whose mercies abound unto
men.
Whereas, it has seemed good to Him
to remove our lamented young comrade
from our midst, and
Whereas, his efficiency as a soldier, his
fidelity jto the interests of this company and
the high esteem in which he wa3 held by
his comrades, render it proper that we
should place upon record our appreciation
of his worth, therefore
Resolved, That we deplore the death
of our comrade with deep feelings of re
gret, softened only by the confident hope
that his spirit is with those who having
"fought the good fight" are henceforth at
rest.
Resolved, .That we extend to the
young wife and bereaved mother, sisters
and younger brother of our lamented
comrade our heartfelt sympathy, and
commend them to the One who ot all
others can comfort and sustain, holding
out to them the assurance that his exa
emplary Christian life has left behind
of meeting him again at the coming 0f
that great day to which love and hope
look forward with ardent joy, where the
tears and woes of this life shall be sub
merged in the healing tide that flows
from the eternal fountains of divine
Truth and Peace.
Resolved, That in the death of Wm;
A. Freeman this company has lost one
of its most public-spirited and efficient
members, the community a faithful and
promising citizen and earnest Christ
ian, and his family a lovhjg and de
voted husb and, son and brother.
Re solved, That this memorial be spread
upon the minutes of the company, pub
lished in the city papers, and that a copy
be furnished the family of the deceased.
