MR. CRISP'S ADDRESS Georgia's Distinguished Son Addresses the General Assembly. IJeclared Himself in I'avor of t ree Coin age of Silver. The address of ex Speaker Crisp before the two houses of the General Assembly last even ing -was a notable event and at tracted, as it deserved, a large audience. Mr. Crisp is a dis tinguished son of Georgia 'and the high position he has heJd in the councils of the nation en titling him to the respectful and appreciative hearing which was accorded his words, even by those who were compelled t( differ with his conclusions. The ex-Speaker's remarks were in good temper, as betitted the dis cussion of a question whicn de mands only the coolest logic and which should exclude the neat of political debate. Mr. Crisp declared himself in favor of the free aDd unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by this country alone, inde pendent of international agree ment. It is to the credit ot his reputation for fairness that he pracueany aamittea mat in so doing he exceeded the demands of the National Democratic plat- form. Mr. Crisp knows that there is no such demand in the platform and, alike other advo cates of the cause with which he has allied himself, he does not claim that it is here. It does not speak so well for his politi cal discernment, however, when he held out the hope that the next National Democratic con vention is certam to repudiate free silver at 16 to 1 as it is to meet. When that is done and many of the leaders in the silver agitation, like Mr. Vest, of Mis souri, admit that it is inevitaole, every Democrat will be bound to abide by the decision. i i In the same breath that he der clared himself for unlimited and independent free coinage, Mr. Crisp pronounced himself a bimetallism The ex-speaker ut terly failed to show how the pur suance of the policy which he announced himself as favoring could result in bimetallism. Ouiy a modicum of thought is needed to convince that the logic of the ex-speaker's address is that he favors silver monometallism. No juggling of words or laws can produce bimetallism, with the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the pres ent ratio. The Journal believes that Speaker Crisp has allied himself "With a minority of the Demo-1 cratic party, that he has given his aid to a plan to commit the party of the people to an un sound and unsafe doctrine, and it regrets to see him in that atti tude. "We feel sure that Mr. Crisp will find that he is on this question in line neither with the majority of his fellow Democrats of Georgia or of the country at large. It was possibly an uninten tional omission on the part of Mr. Crisp that in his tribute to those who had led the tight for tariff reform he failed to mention the name of that distinguished Democrat, Grover Cleveland, who is believed to have had an impor tant share in that grand work. The ex-speaker compared the fight for tariff reform to the cur rency contest. He might have gone farther and shown that, just as the opposition to tariff reform inside the party was gradually overcome, just so the oppositian to a sound and safe currency basis is being rapidly eliminated and the best thought of the party is being ar rayed against the silver mono tnetallism, which would be the inevitable result of free and un limited coinage. Atlanta Jour nal. A Republican Scheme Outlined. The New York papers report some significant outgivings by A. B. Hepburn, president of the Third National Bank of their city, and author of the new cur rency system proposed last year by the banks. His revelations relate to the means which the Republican Congress will adopt to force the administration to accept the measures relating to the tariff and the finances desired by the Republicans and the bank ers. Mr. Hepburn is repoited as saying that he had had several interviews with Thomas R. Reed the speaker-to-be of the next Congress, and Thomas H, Car ter, chairman of the Republican committe. These two leaders, 'he says, approved the passage of bills by the Republican Con gress putting duties' upon wool and lumber. They also favored a substantial revenue tax upon the manufacture of b eer. It was the intention of the Republicans to pass these three revenue bills and throw the responsibility for accepting the increased revenue that will supply the present de- ficiency upon the Democratic ad ministration." Unless these measures are ac cepted. Mr. Hepburn says, an other issue of bonds will be the inevitable result. t?o we are given to understand that unless the Cleveland administration agrees to a higher tax on domes tic beer and high duties on wool and lumber, there must be an other bond issue, and the admin istration and the Democratic party must bear the responsible lty. The first named alternative would please protected interests, and the latter the bankers and brokers, and both at the expense of the people. As to the "responsibility" for the bond issue, in such an emer gency as that suggested, the peopie will have intelligence enough to place ours where it belongs. They will hardly hold a factious, scheming, dominant party in Congress guiltless. But if a square issue is presented be tween higher wool, lumber and beer, demanded as an ultimatum by the Republicans, and a consti tutional income tax favored by J the Democrats, which party would be the gainer by this Republican, scheme? May not the schemers be forced into the hole prepared by them for their opponents? Thanksgiving Proclamation. His Excellency Governor Elias Uarr, 1 hursday issuedjthe follow ing Thanksgiving proclamation The people of North Carolina have much for which to be thank ful to Almighty God in the year which has just passed. The earth has brought forth abundantly of the food products in response to our labors, the prices of raw mas tenaJs have advanced, industrial progress has been awakened in our midst and the future looks brighter than the past few years of disaster and want. Our people should be thankful for the blessings vouchsafed to them, and, in grateful remem brance of His goodness and in obedience to our laws and the time honored custom ot our fore fathers, devote one day of the year to His service. Therefore, I, Elias Carr, Gov ernor of the State of North Car oliua, do hereby appoint Thurs day, the 28th day of November, 1895, as a day of solemn and public Thanksgiving to God for past blessings, and of supplica tion for His continued kindness and care over us a State and Na tion. I earnestly request every citi zen of this great Commonwealth to lay aside his usual business assemble either at the churches, or around the fireside, and make this annual festival a day of prayer and thanksgiving. Let not the day be devoted to amusements, but with grateful hearts give praise to God for the preservatioa of our liberties and for the advancement of our na tion in prosperity and greatness. 1 his fctate has ever oeen the home of freedom and the abiding-place of a virtuous and noble people. Let the day not pass without acknowledgment of all these blessings; and let us re member in our prayers and of ferings the charitable institutions of the State, the wounded and needy soldiers, the orphans, the poor and afflicted, and, by sub stantial giving, show forth the thankfulness of our hearts. In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of North Caro lina to be affixed. Done at the city of Raleigh, this 14th of November, in the (Seal) year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, and in the one hundred, and twentieth year of our American In dependence. Elias Caiir. By the Governor. S. F. Telfair, Private Secretary. Washington Tevrs. Washington, November 15. From hints thrown out by the leaders of both political parties strong probabilities seem to ex ist that two important joint reso lutions will be offered immediate ly after the assembling of the Fifty-fourth Congress. The first wilJ be an affirmation of the prin ciples embodied in the Monroe doctrine, expressing in plain and vigorous language the sympathy of the American people with the Government of Venezuela in its boundary dispute with Great Britain. The second joint reso lution, which is being prepared with much care, provides for the annexation of the Hawaiian is lands to the United States under a territorial form of government It is announced from St. Pet ersburg via Vienna that a daugh ter was born to the Czarina at 10 o'clock yesterday evening. The mother and child are doing well. Cubans on Tlieir Way. Philadelphia, Nov. 15. It was reported in shipping circles late this afternoon that there is on board the Norwegian fruit steamship Laou, which will reach that port to-morrow morn ing, a delegation of officers of the Cuban republic, included in which delegation is the vice president of that republic. The greatest secrecy is maintained by ail in connection with this steam ship, but direct information of the fact that there is quite a del egation on board this steamship was had here several days ago by the custom authorities. It is also known that a corps of Pin kerton detectives have already been engaged to watch them while in this city, so as to pre clude all possibility of their pur chasing arms or taking out any more filibustering expeditions. There is no law by which the custom authorities can prevent the lauding ot the officers of the Cuban Republic at this port, as the allegation of the purpose ot their mission, that it is to secure arms and recruits to aid in the rebellion, is pased only on sur mise. The Laon comes from Port Morant, a small settlement in Ja maica, to which place the dele gation is said to have gone from Cuba in small boats. The greatest excitement pre vails in the vicinity of the quar ters where these ships land, and many Cuban sympathizers can be seen about here, awaiting news from the outlaying dis. trices from which the ships come. It is stated upon good authority that Captain Svanoe, command ing this ship wno has been a marked man for some time, im mediately upon his arrival here will be arrested by the officers of the revenue marine on a charge of having violated the neutrality laws in landing about three weeks ago, on the coast of Cuba, a filibustering expedition Springfield, Ohio, Nov. 15. In an animated discussion byMitch 'e!l Post, G. A. R., regarding the Cuban question, Gen. J. Warren Keifer, ex-speaker, claimed that the United States could not con sistently recognize the Cuban patriots as belligerents, for the reason that the Unued States protested when European powers so recognized the Confederacy. Havana, Nov. 15 A squadron, consisting of the cruisers Ensen ada, Cortes, Pizarro and fvasso has left Palm a, the transport Legapz, carrying material which will be utilized in putting the forts and the water of the har bors of the island of Cuba in a state of defense. San Antonio,Tex.,Nov. 15. A special from the City of Mexico, dated November 14. savs: A prominent Spaniard who is in close touch with Spain, says that before Spain will con cede Cuban independence, or permit the island to come under a United States protectorate or rule, she will throw Cuba into the hands of England, conceding land ostensible -possession for a number of years until England collects the sum of money which is due her from Spain for ad vance made to carry on the war with Cuba. STRIKE WHILE THE IKON IS HOT. Thp dividends declared by the cotton mills at Fall River, Mass.. for the last quarter averaged 1.01 per cent. This is quite a hand some profit for a period so close ly following one of great de pression. It is more than douole the dividends declared by the same mills for the corresponding quarter of 1894, which averaged 1.01 per cent. The invested capital upon which these divU dends were declared was about the same in both years $21,000 -000. - Though this exhibited a grati fy ng lmproveme it. it by no means controverts the claim that cotton manufacture can be car ried on much more profitably in the region of cotton culture than in one far distant, which also labors under other disadvant ages. The Atlanta Exposition has caused members of the Northern cotton manufacturers to visit Georgia and other cotton grow ing States and they haye no doubt improved the opportunity to investigate and satisfy them selves on this point. We feel as sured that they haye become convinced of the truth of the claims made for the South, and that they have also learned that the charges made about disagree able social and labor conditions in this part of the country are false and misleading. We would suggest that now is an appropriate time for persons owning unused water-power, or other f acilties for cheap manu facturing, to correspond with parties at the north desirous of investing in such enterprises. The Atlanta Exposition ought to be largely instrumental in GIXLDSBORO. -N. C.f THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 , 1895, doubling the number of impor tant manufacturing establish ments in the southern states.

The child was in the cotton house alone and attempted to go down head foremost into a hole of cotton, which she did and was unable to get out. Half an hoar she res inaiiied in thai position when she was found dead by her mother. Henderson Gold Leaf: Rev. T.

Newbern Journal: Mr Sam'l Thompson and daughter, Miss Audreta, who came in Sunday by steamer and who are stopping at Mr. J, j. w oliendeu s expect to spend the winter here. As far as Mr. Thompson's personal ob servation of our country has gone he is well pleased and there is a prospect, which we will be glad to see realized, of his in vesting and making this his per manent home. Smithfield Herald: From the liquor dealers' signs exhibited on the streets this week one would judge that the business was on a boom. Tangle leg was a pre valent disease and calamity water was the liniment used. Several patients were furnished suitable accomodations at the Town Home for the "Wayward and Inflamed," and suitaoly re warded for their speedy recov ery. Wilmington Star: The funeral services over the late Mrs, Anna M. Ricaud, wife of Rev. Dr. T. Page Ricaud, took place, from Grace Methodist Church yester day morning at 10:80 o'clock. A large number of sorrowing friends were present to pay their last respeccs to this good Chris tian woman, who was so beloved by all who knew her. The ser vices were conducted by Revs. W. C. Norman, W. S. Rone and W. L. Cunninggim, and the body was tenderly laid away in Oak dale cemetery. There were many pretty floral offerings. Rocky Mount Argonaut: The roads leading into Rocky Mount are in the most cases in a very bad condition. We hear farmers complaining very much about the roads and threatening to carry their product and trade to other markets. The bridges are par ticularly bad: many of them be ing absolutely dangerous. We trust that every thing pertaining to the roads will be put in good shape within the town limits and that our town authorities will exert themselves to have over seers of roads leading to Rocky Mount attend moire strictly to their business. As to the danger of running up against this country, these late mishaps to big vessels are a warning to foreign navies to keep off. 1 When money burns a hole in a man's pocket it's always easy to go through it. Rosevelt watches the side doors while the things hold people up at the frontdoors. With regard to transfers the public seems to be of the notion that a fare exchange is no rob bery. New York has had so much reformless reform that a little bit ot reformatory reform will do her good Eyidently footpads in New York think citizens should be held up as examples of police in- emciency. For battleships to be down by the head is bad. though it may be all right so far as rams are concerned.

Concerning Ouau-'s TPniit.Ofl boom for the Presiriprmv his ho. ing an ardent fisherman is no dis advantage It's curious that news of the Marlboroughs going to England is coincident with reports of pros pective gold shipments. With Wellington and Bona parte as candidates for the Sen ate mere will be a Waterloo for somebody in Maryland. A number of officeholders in Maryland are much embarrassed by the recent change, but it's probable Governor Lowndes will help them out. Chicago's Anarchists want an exclusive gravevard. And vet why wonder at their particular interest in themselves when it comes to the bier. When New York citv drinks thirty-four million barrels of beer in a year, opening its mouth in further protest against excise law seems superfluous. With the six leadinsr powers of Europe taking charge of the Ar menian question, and with the fleets of England. Russia. 'France and Italy assembling near the scene, our country obviously needs in the Mediterranean nn greater naval force than it has tnere. The fcan Francisco and the Marblehead are fine cruisers. and the political condition of the Porte, rather than any dangers to missionaries, is the problem of the hour. Still, it is not un ikely that our force in European waters will next vear be in creased to three, if not four, ships. GOT A HAT? Want to Keep It?
