"gixt piommtj toe By WILLIAM H. BEBNAHD. WILMINGTON, N. C Saturday Morning, April 13, 1895. FREE SILVER IN PENBSLY VANIA. Yesterday we called attention to the decision of the leaders of the new silver party to begin an aggres sive campaign, on educational lines, in the East, "carrying the war into Africa," and giving the anti-silver forces battle on their own ground. A few days ago Mr. Heber Clarke, who publishes a manufacturers' journal somewhere in Pennsylvania, delivered an address in Pittsburg, in which he advocated the free coinage of silver as the only hope of the farmer and of the wage earner of this country. He went on to argue that the depreciation ia the prices of farm products and in wages was the result of the demonetization of sil ver in 1873, and produced statistics that seemed at least plausible, if not entirely convincing, to most of .his hearers. The gold standard defenders deny that the demonetization of silver (the demonetization of which they also deny) had anything to do with this. Both are right and both are ; wrong. The demonetization of sil- ver had much to do with it, but not all, for the tariff played a very im portant part in the reduction of prices by stimulating competition in other countries, resulting in over production in this, and m the reduc tion of wages by stimulating the immigration of workmen from Europe to compete with American labor in our own market, so that as a matter of fact the depreciation in the prices of farm products and in wages is the result not of one but of several causes, one of which was the demonetization of silver. What makes Mr. Clarke's speeches particularly notable at this time is that he is a close friend of Senator Djn Cameron, for whose nomination for the Presidency he is working hard. He would perhaps prefer to see him nominated by the Pepubli . can convention if that could be pre- . vailed upon to declare in its plat form for free silver, but if not then - he would like to see Mr. Cameron nominated as the candidate of the free silver party, with which he is in accord now on the coinage question. He enjoys the distinction, if our memory is not at fault, of being the only U. S. Senator North of the Po tomac and East of the Mississippi, , who is in favor of the free coinage of silver. Neither Mr. Clarke nor .Senator Cameron has yet stepped out of the Republican into the new party lines. Mr. Clarke, as the presumed spokesman of his friend Cameron, has begun a campaign of education within the Republican party to see What he can do in the way. of com mitting it to free silver which, as far as Pennsylvania is concerned, would not be a very herculean task, for in t us last convention it leaned very de cidedly to free silver, and declared for an expaosipn ot the currency un til the volume in circulation amount ed to $40 per capita. That was get ting pretty close to the Populist de mand which was for $50, and it was thought that the party had seriously damaged itself by thus pandering to the Populistic sentiment, but in the very next election the Republicans made such a clean sweep of the State that it was only here and there that, a county could be found in which the Democrats escaped the general wreck. If Mr, Cameron's friends, that is those of them who wish to see him nominated for the Presidency," will follow up the line that Mr. Clarke Is on, and inaugurate within the party lines the campaign of education in other Republican. States it will lend additional interest to the progress of events. . - This would somewhat offset the free silver agitation within the lines ; of the Democratic party - which has Deguo in Illinois and will be doubt- v less carried into other States with a view to committing the next nation al Democratic convention squarely to free silver, or at least learning enough about the sentiments of the rank and file of the party in each State to be a guide as to what will be the best course to pursue to com mand the support of the voters, If the same course were pursued in the Republican party, ami delegates elected to State conventions on that I issue, the strengtn or tne tree coin age sentiment of the country at large could be tested sep erate and apart from any other issue and we could form a pretty correct estimate as to the proportion of the voters who favored or opposed free coinage, and thus put an end to speculation and sweeping assertions on that point. The respective par ties cculd then govern them selves accordingly provided they were willing to be governed by the voice ot the majority and not by the machine. It is well that Mr. Clarke has be gun to feel the pulse of the Republi cans of his State and we trust he and others will follow up on that line un til they make that as much of a dis turbing factor in the Eastern Re publican States as it is becoming in the Western and Southern Democrat ic, States. MIJT0R MENTION. We have asserted that the British Government is hostile to the scheme for constructing the Nicaragua canal under the supervision of the United States, or under American influence, because it would materially interfere with British commercial supremacy in the countries in and on the Pacific with which England has had and now has a large trade and practi cally a monopoly. We have believed that the desire to throw obstacles in the way of this enterprise has had much to do with the position she has taken in her peremptory de mands on the Nicaraguan Govern ment in the Bluefields matter, mak ing this a pretext to get Nicaragua in her power, and to use that power quietly to the detriment of the com pany which holds the concessions from the Government of Nicaragua. She would not avow this purpose, of course, for the avowal would defeat it As proof that our opinions on this subject have more than mere suspicion to rest upon we quote the the following from a cable dispatch of the 9th inst.: "Replying to a question in the House of Commons to-day, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign Office, Sir Ed ward Gray, said that the Government was aware that the United States had appointed a commission to inquire into the feasibility of the plans tor building a canal across Nicaragua to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific but, he added, Great Britain could not appoint a com mission to co-operate with the United States Commission unless the Govern ment of the United States was desirous that Great Britain should do so. . "In answer to a question as to whether the Government would take all the steps in its power to safeguard the interests of Great Britain in connection with the proposed canal. Sir Edward Gray said that in case the construction oi the canal was proceeded with the Govern ment would take steps to insure that British trade was placed on the sime footing as that of other nations." This is one more added to the many proofs furnished, through the utterances of public men and of the English press, to show the interest they take in this canal and the aver sion with which they regard its con struction under American control, all of which should make us the more anxious to build it and hold control of it. The Sons of the Missionaries who are now running the Government machine in Hawaii suspect the sin cerity of the festive Lil when she took the oath of allegiance and "ab dicated" to get out of limbo.and seem to anticipate another dash by her adherents to restore the monarchy. They are apprehensive also of Japan, from which they have much more to fear than they have from the clay-colored friends of the monarchy. There are jingoists in Japan as well as in this country and they are making loud demands on their Government to protect the rights of Japanese res idents (of whom there are a good many) of Hawaii. Under the con stitution adopted by the "Republic" the Japanese have no political rights. They protest against this discrimi nation while people of all other na tions, except China, are eligible to citizenship. As there is no ground of resemblance, save color, on which the Japanese can be classed with the Chinese, they resent the classi- fication with a race they despise, so that national pride or, as the Japa nese would probably characterize it, national self-respect, with trade con siderations, make the Japanese res tive under the discrimination against them." Their attitude may naturally give the Sons of the Missionaries much concern, and ultimately make their safety dependent upon annexa tion to the United States. If thev refuse to accord political rights to the Japanese residents- it may result In open rupture with" Japan, which has grown in pride, aggressiveness and ambition since the pic-nic with China, and if they grant political priviliges Japan can rush in immi grants enough to take complete pos session, when naturalized, of the Government and run it as a depen dency of Japan. This is what Japan will play for, for this is much the cheapest and easiest way of effecting the conquest of the islands, and it wouldn't give the United States or any other interested nation a pretext A 1 -- -J to cnip in. The telephone business isn't a very old one, but it is immense and is 'growing rapidly. According to sta tistics presented, at a meeting of the Bell Telephone Company in Boston, the other day, there is now invested in this business in this country, '$77, 600,000. At the end of last Decern-? ber; up to which time the statistics were complete, there were 582,506 instruments in use, an increase of 16,015 over the previous year, and a eain of 252,932 in ten years. On the first of last January there were 867 exchanges, 572 branch offices, and 396,647 miles of wire in operation. Of these 232,008 miles were on poles, 14,525 on buildings, 1,856 sub-marine, and 148,283 underground. Dur ing the year $4,138,000 was expend ed in extensions and apparatus. With the improvements being made, and the success of long distance tele phoning, which is still in its infancy, it is reasonable to look for great and continuous growth in this business. CURRENT COMMENT. Excluding rents from the in come tax will give a new boom to real estate investments. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. -The mistake made in-the Kansas Courts, where an actual mur derer was acquitted and his hypnotic instigator convicted of murder in the first degree, was in the failure to convict the man who did the killing as well as the man who suggested it. There would probably have been an end of hypnotic murders if principal and accomplice bad both been sent to the gallows; but it will be strange if hereafter there shall not be a full crop in .Bloody Kansas.;. Record, Dem. v England is not the only coun try that is watching Russia anxious ly. The Japanese have laid out a fortified camp on the frontier be tween Russia and Corea and are said to have statipned 30,000 men there, in order to meet possible aggression by Russia. Norway is inclined to quarrel with its twin, Sweden, and Germany suspects that Russia Is at the bottom of Norway's militant spirit. Should Russia subjugate Sweden and absorb Norway, she would obtain an outlet on the At lantic which would be of inestima ble value. Phil. Ledger, Ind. SPIRITS TURPENTINE.

Strange Noises Wblch Have Aroused Mr. Freeee of EngUuul and Our Own Edison. Wonderful Developments Are. Expected Within the Kerf Few Tears. Can we open up electric commtmica-' tion with the inhabitants of Mars? That is a question recently considered at a meeting of the Society of Arts in. Lon don, where Mr. W. H. Preeoe, engineer to the telegraphs department of the British postotBoe, read a paper on "Elec- trio Signaling Without Wires." Mr. -Preeoe explained how he had recently demonstrated that wires were not at all necessary to establish telephonic com munication. - Under the supervision of a royal com mission appointed to inquire into elec tric communication between the shores and lighthouses, he f had conducted a series of experiments which amply dem onstrated this fact There was no diffi culty in speaking between the shore and Flat Holm, three miles distance from the place of experiment Mr. Preeoe then went on to say that "strange, mys terious sounds" are heard on all long telephone lines when the earth is used as a return, especially in the calm still ness of the night "Earth currents," Baid he, "are found in telegraph cir cuits, and the aurora borealis lights up our northern sky when the sun's photo sphere ia disturbed by spota The sun's surface must at such times be violently disturbed by electrical storms, and if oscillations are set np and radiated through space in sympathy with those required to. affect telephones it is not a wild dream to say that we may hear on this earth a thunderstorm in the sun. After further describing the mysteri ous sounds which had attracted his at tention in the stillwatches of the night Mr. Preeoe said: "If any of these- planets be populated, with beings like ourselves, having the gift of language and the knowledge to adapt the great forces of nature to their wants, then if they conld oscillate immense stores of electrical energy to and fro in tele graphic order, it would be possible for us to hold commune by telephone with the people of Mars. " These mysterious sounds which so puzzle Mr. Preece seem to correspond with those noticed by Thomas A. Edi son, who has turned Ogden mountain in New Jersey into a great magnet and coiled miles of wire about it At the time of the last opposition of Mars he noticed an increase of the seismic mut terings, which have recently been so violent Mr. Edison and Mr. Preece are only two of the scientists who are now experimenting along these lines, and the whole scientific world is watching the progress being made. Neither Mr. Edison nor Mr. Preeoe has been so bold as to say that the strange sounds referred to are messages sent by the inhabitants of Mars to those of earth, but they have not otherwise explained them. On the other hand, there are many scientists firm in the belief that the next few years will witness the opening up of communication between the people of the two planets. This conviction has been enormously strenghtened by the strange lights Been at the Lick observa tory when Mars was- tinder observation during its opposition over a year ago. The three lights were arranged in a tri angle. Nightly as the great red orb rose from her ocean bed to the vault of heav en the lights flashed out as soon as dark-1 ness had set in, and in the immense lens of the Lick telescope they glowed with steady and continued effulgence. Was this an effort of the inhabitants of Mars to attract the attention of those on earth? Such had been the opinion of Flam marion, who had argned in favor of earth signaling back with a triangle of lights 80 miles across. It was shown that the conditions of Mars were more nearly those of earth than of any other planet Both of the snow caps could be plainly seen and may be seen now in any first class telescope, for Mars is now to be observed in the morning about 80 degrees west and 14 degrees south from Venus in the constellation Capricorn. The well denned atmosphere of Mars is also plainly visible, and astronomers can tell by the increase or decrease of its snow caps and its position in regard to the sun the progress of its seasons .and whether or not the Marsians are having a cold winter. The canal theory of Schiaparelli has likewise many be lievers, who assert that the strange straight lines on Mars are canals built by its highly civilized inhabitants. Mr. Preece says he has kept a record of the strange, mysterious sounds which have attracted his attention while Edi son has done likewise. These will re quire much study to decipher if they are messages from Mars. The Preece discovery, on the other hand, puts it in the power of the people of earth to send direct electrical currents to Mars, whose inhabitants are so much in advance of ourselves that they may be able to help us out in the work of opening up con verse. A pantomimic electrical inter change will be necessary for some time, but what will be the emotions of the scientific world when the message is sent out that communication has been established? There are those who firmly assert that this is an experience of the immediate future, that electricity is the universal force and the one whereby the planets will come into communication with each other, if they ever da The mys tery of electricity is the strange fluctua tions is undergoes. If it were an earth property solely, it wonld be steady, as It would be were it common to all the universe and not interfered with. But its strange goings and comings, its ap parent relations to the son, and yet its known sympathy with other heavenly bodies, seem to show that somebody somewhere is fooling with the dynamo and cutting off and turning on the cur rent New York World. Kleptomania. To believe a French writer, there are no fewer than 4,000 women caught ev ery year in stealing during their shop ping expeditions, a habit euphoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is almost inoredi ble. Among the most recent culprits were a Kussian princess, a French count ess, an English duchess and the daugh ter of a reigning sovereign. As a rule, these more distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor, and when the shoplifter is known to be rich the sum exacted rises to as-muoh as 10,000 francs. The polioe authorities consent to this sort of condonation. Baltimore Sun. Where the Best Horses Are Found. The best driving and carriage horses come, I think, from Maine and Ver mont, being tougher, as a rule, than the Kentucky horses and no less intelligent High steppers for the most part are na tives of Maine or of Canada. Western horses, especially those from Indiana, Iowa and Ohio, are corn fed and soft, and they often laok that "quality' which the Kentucky horses derive from the thoroughbred strain in their blood.

Solomon had to sit in judgment in many difficult cases, but wise as he was even he might have hesitated before de ciding the simple case in which a lat ter day justice pronounced a judgment. A woman was summoned to answer a charge of withholding a pitchfork which had been lent to her by a neigh boring gardener. She straightway de clared that the fork had been the prop erty of her late husband, -and in proof thereof showed the justice her hus band's initials, "M. W.," cut in the handle. The complainant demurred, and turning the fork the other way asserted that the initials "W. M." were his. The justice was in a quandary and con fessed his inability to determine which way the fork was to be held in reading the letters, but the woman ruined her case by interposing, unasked, that, al though she knew the implement had been her husband's property, she wouldn't want to swear to it "Anyway," she added, "my husband died. He had a fork, and he didn't take it with him. If that isn't it, where is it?" " In the absence of better proof, judg ment was given for the plaintiff. New York Herald. Night Air. "It always amuses me," remarked Dr. T. L. Goodwin of Chicago, "when I hear people say that they are afraid to have their bedroom windows open at night, owing to the night air. What other kind of air can we breathe at night but night air? The choice is be tween pure air from without and foul air from within. Jt has been proved that a large number of the diseases we suffer from are occasioned by people sleeping with their windows shut An open window most nights in the year can never hurt any one. In large cities the night air is the best and purest to be had in any of the 24 hours, and it would be a great deal healthier to keep the windows closed during the day than at night The absence of smoke, etc, tends to make the night the best time for airing the rooms. " Kins; of Belgium's Bodyguard. Under the Belgian constitution the king's valet is responsible to parliament for the safety of the royal person. At night, therefore, when the Belgian mon arch has retired to his "salle a oou cher," the valet turns the key upon him and locks himself in the antechamber, where he himself sleeps, by turning the key also of the outer door. If, therefore, a miscreant had any designs upon the person of the king, he would first of all have to force the door of the antecham ber, overcome the armed resistance of the. valet and then unlock the door of the royal chamber. -London Tit-Bits.

In no other streets in the wide world can one see suoh varied types as on the grand boulevards of Paris.

Farther on, up near Rue Vivienne, new blood enters this great artery of Paris it is tinged with ff golden sheen, for we are in the heart of the exchanges, among brokers and coulissiers aye, among just such types as Zola drew from for his book entitled "Money. " Now the shops are becoming more gay and beautiful,-the cafes more elegant, and the siren voices of Paris make its joys even more alluring and more tempt ing. To appreciate it you must do more than view it from an outsider's stand point You must take part in it, live in it and for the time being forget that you ever were anything but a confirmed and hardened boulevardier. There, follow my advice, and I will guarantee that you will see Paris as Paris is and not as tourists see or de scribe it Sit down with me at the ter- rasse of yonder cafe and watch the stream of humanity as it flows by. What a cosmopolitan throng I Rich and poor, merchants and clerks, unmistaka ble Britishers, blase journalists, fetch ing looking actresses, chio little Pari siennes of the petite bourgeoisie, news boys and beggars aye, and Americans, too all "touohing elbows," as the French say. Is it not dizzy to look upon, in its whirling activity, its abandoned merrymaking? See that young exquisite with pointed patent leather boots? Poor fellow I He has mislaid his brain and might find it there. He is one of the society men of the boulevard. F. R. Layland in Home and Country. Little Superstitions. . "I don't believe there is a man living who is without his pet superstition," remarked a secondhand furniture man. "We constantly have people who sell ns artioles of household use and come in after a few weeks sometimes only days and try to buy them back again, with the explanation that they have had 'bad luck' ever since the sale was made and never would have good luok again until the bargain was undone. "One woman who had sold us her grandmother's clock fairly wept be cause it was gone before she could buy it in again. This idea is not confined to uneducated or ignorant people by any means. "At this very time I know a Louis ville business man of great culture and refinement who is vigorously pursuing an old wooden desk which he owned many years agoa desk on which he made an enormous amount of money by a few lucky strokes, of his pen. The desk passed from hand to hand and out of his possession. He is now earnestly endeavoring to trace it and purchase it, believing that recent business reverses and hard times will flee away if he can only stretch his legs once more under that same old desk." Louisville Courier-Journal. With the Charcoal Brasier. Many cases of suicide have thus been brought about by means of burning charcoal, of which one example may suffice, that of son of Berthollet the celebrated chemist This young man be came affected with great mental depres sion, which rendered life iusupportablo to him. Retiring to a small room, he locked the door, closed up crevices which might admit fresh air, lighted a char coal brazier, and with a second watch before him noted down the time, to gether with his sensations as the gas ac cumulated. "He detailed tho approaoh and rapid progress of delirium until the writing beoame larger and larger, more and more confused, and nt length illegible, and the writer fell dead upon the floor. Notes and Queries. Count D'Orsay. The most splendid person 1 ever re member seeing had a little pencil sketch in his hand, evidently intended for publication through Thackeray's good offioes, which he left behind him On the tabla It was a very feeble sketch. It seemed scaroely possible that so grand a being should not be a bolder draftsman. He seemed to fill the bow window with radiance, as if he were Apollo. He leaned against his chair, with one el bow resting on its back, with shining studs and curls and boots. "Chapters D'rom some Memoirs, " Mrs. Ritchie. Doesn't Get Around In Time.
