The former still retains his interest in thrtrM and its progress, while the other has crawled into-his shell and comes oat only when some special occasion draws turn 'out. The difference be- tween tnem is that that one is a great all-'roand man, a "grand" old fel low, and the other great only on a special, line, a man of blood and iron. Blood and iron are nof in snr.h demand now as when he made his reputation. The New York Mercury gets off the following luminous, scintillation: "Some folks seem to think that the' free arid unlimited coinage, of stiver will cure all our ills. It might for a while be a good thing for the Owners of 'silver mines, but neither Bryan" nor Stewart,Teller nor Hartman can show how it i would benefit wa?e earners or the public' at large." Audi now will the esteemed Mercury rise and tell as how free coinage can help the silver mine owners without help ing others? 'This-long suffering country," ex claims a New York gold organ, "has Invested nearly $500,000,000 in silver and is none the better -fr it." And now we would like to have It tell ns why the Treasury: reports always count in these- $505,000,000 as an essential part of our circulating me dium and point proudly to the fact that we have more: silver than ever before. Isn't this silver "as good as gold?" x " Hon. Mark Hanna.says the Mc- Kinley canvass cst $100,000, of which Mends furnished $38,000. This left$62,00Q for Mr. Han'na. Hanna is a.

Mj jr Hayes Bays He Never Saw Hand- acme', Manlier Set of Bays in His Life. ' Raleigh News and Observer - "I have never seen a' handsomer. manlier set of-boys in my life than cur North Carolina Naval Reserves." said Maj. Hayes, who returned from South port yesterday. Maj. Hayes, who is As sistant Adjutant General, on behalf of the State received the; cruiser Amphi- trife. which was detailed for the special practice cruise of the North Carolina Naval Reserves. i . ;. The .Major was very much pleased with our young sailpr-sojdiers. and this good opinion was shared by Captain Wise and the other officers of the Am- phitrite. The efficiency of the battalion is surprisingly good and opened the eyes ot the old sea-dogs who are accus tomed to look upon the, young men in white duik as land-lubbets ot the clum siest stripe. Captain Wise, for the first time, al lowed the Reserve gunners to handle the guns of the Ampkitrite. He has re cently held practice cruises in several other States, and the North Carolina Reserves were the only ones with whom he felt sale in trusting his guns. Tee-monitor Nantucket was manned by a crew made up entirely from the Re set ves, they furnishing men for every single position. Mai or Hayes commends " Commander Morton in the highest terms. His re port to the Governor will no doubt be very gratifying to the Reserves.
