In noticing Mr. Bland's dec' aration that if this country adheres to the gold- standard it will force it into bankruptcy, the New - York World asks if England is in anygreater danger of bankruptcy than are the South American silver-States. Well no, but there is a marked difference in the conditions of these countries. England is the creditor nation of the world, and profit, as far as her money lenaers are concerned, by the mm - - I gold standard, which has helped to I enrich her. But it is a question Whether even England would not be really more prosperous under the double standard. In answering the question what sixteen to one means, theNew York Herald starts off with a joke, quot ing a Western farmer who when asked the same Question replied. "Why, John, it means that in this part of the country there are sixteen fools to one man of sense. '"Elimi nating the "fools," that would be about the proportion the free silver men would bear to the gold standard fellows. Senator Carter, of Montana, ex chairman of the Republican conven tion, remained when Senators Teller, Dubois and others retired, but he is so disgusted at McKinley's refusal to touch the money question and his trying to dodge behind the tariff that it is thought he will pack his grip, retire from the Republican party and camp with the bolters. , The gold men finding themselves. outnumbered at Chicago and the Presidency beyond their reach are going to play to elect a majority, of gold men, if the can, toMthe next Congress, and thus have a brake on the silver Senatendsilver Presi dent. But they will slipup in this as they. have on other "plans they have to defeat the silver movement. Mr. McKinley dodges by talk ing about a "tuuaouar, -a-good-as-the-best- in - the-world"-dol- lar, but he dodges "gold'i. as if it was loaded and he was afrau it would hit him. No one but a fool wants anything but a full dollar, and Mr. McKinley is simply talking rot when he expects to foil people with this kind of stuff. a -s. - Mr. Hobart who is going td-ride behind McKinley, ran over from Jer sey to Canton the other day to con sult.

WILMINGTON, N. C Tlu THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. RECORD OF SOME OF THE FESTIVI TIES ON THE NATION'S HOLIDAY E In and Around rWUmlngton The Caro lina Taoht Club Ba'oea "at "WrightavUle -The Bippls Beats All Her Competi tore The Club: Hoaaea Entertain Mny Vlaitara Danoing and Ball Play at -Carolina Beaoh. To many the most important and in teresting feature of the day was the first annual regatta of the season of the Caro lina Yacht Club. This occurred at 8 p. nW- At 3.80 there was a dead calm, and great fear was expressed that lack of wind would ruin the race; but! about ten minutes before the hour a good stiff breeze from the south set in. Especial interest centered around the handsome new sloop yacht, Nixie, owned and sailed by Lieut. Moore, of the cutter Colfax. This was her trial trip, and all were anxious to see how she would compete - with the ordinary cat yachts, which have hitherto been used in these waters, i The introduction -of a boat of her model is a memorable event in local yachting circles. She is modeled after one of the most celebrated half- raters, and her handsome appearance and the way she cut the water excited universal comment. ) The regatta was over a six-mile course. It was to have been a race for cat-rigged yachts only, but as there was some mis understanding on this point and as three of the yachts came sloop rigged, it was decided to oner a prize for the win ning sloop-rigged as well as the winning cat-rigged boatJ The cat-rigged boats, however, although in the same race, were not supposed to compete against their more formidable adversaries. Nine yachts lined up for the start, three being sloop-rigged, the Nixie, Capt. Moore, Pegotty, Capt. Kidder, and Id er, Capt. T. W. Meares. The cat-rigged boats were the Mabel.. Capt. J. I. Metts, Sprite, Capt. H. Peflchau, Little Willie. Capt. G. E'liott,, Francis Marion, Capt. W. W. Davis, Mist. Capt. A. Bradley, and Ripple, Capt, Geo. Chadbourn. The Ripple carried a spin naker but discarded it in order to be classed as cat-rigged. The start was made in the following order: Sprite. Mabel, Little Willie and Francis Marion, Nixie, Mist, Ripple, Idler and Pegotty. As the little boats sail off with their time handicap, they seem to skim the waves so lightly and gracefully, and to disappear down the channel so rapidly that many of the unversed wonder how they can ever be overtaken. At last they are all eff, the Ripple getting only one minute and forty-three seconds start of her sloop-rigged opponents, the Pegotty and Idler. And now spt citation; is rife as to the probable winner. Each boat has its supporters ready and anxious to sing its praises. As they move down the channel, one fair champion ex claims, "Ob, I do hope the dear old Ripple will win ' "The Ripple 'scorn fully retorts her escort, "why she s cat riggedj and besides she's sailed by a lot ot boys who don't khow how to manage her." There pre those present, however, who have their eyes fixed on the old boat, and see with satisfaction the way she lays up and gradually overhauls the Mist, and, responsive to the skillful band of her young Captain, rounds the; first buoy ahead of her. ' Now the next boat is the Frances Marion, sailing up the course before the wind. Gradually the Ripple overhauls and passes her, jybes around the middle buoy, and turns up Mott's channel, with the Nixie and Little Willie just ahead of her, in the older named. i i f As the Nixie rounds the third buoy she gets in stays, the L'.ttle Willie passes between her and the buoy, and the Kip ple bears off and sails entirely around them. The Nixie fouls the buoy, and the Franees Marion passes between the Ripple and the buoy and- goes in front of her again, j They now quarter east down Mott's channel with the Nixie in front and the Little Willie, Frances Marion and Ripple following in the or der named. The Ripple bears away and passes them, one after another, on the leeward side, and turns the middle buoy down the Banks channel ahead of them The Sprite is now ahead of the Ripple half way down the channel. The Ripple gains, however, rapidly passes her and rounds the first' buoy for the j second time. Coming up before the wind she passes the gallant little Mabel and sails past the club; house gangway, leading the regatta, having overtaken and passed six boats. She rounds the middle buoy and tacks down the channel with a good lead. There is now much excitement as to whether she will be overtaken by the sloop-rigged yachts, Pegotty and Idler. They are close together, just behind the Mabel. The Ripple gains slowly but steadily, however, rounds the first buoy : for the third and last time, and comes up bifore the wicd on her last course. She passes the clubhouse accompanied by cheers and salutes of cannon crackers and the racs is won. She has not only beaten all the boats in hef osyn'cU ss. but also those in the rlass ar.nve her. ' - - " 7 The Pegotty comes in five minutes later followed by ihj Mabel and Idler in order nameL - Shortly after the finish the prizes were presented in the club house.- Dr. Robt. Strange, rector of St. James', rca3e the speeches of presentation. The first prize, for cat-rigged boats, a aflver bon-bon dish, he presented to Capt. Gen. Chad bourn, of ihs Ripple, in a happy and ap propriate manner. He referred to the yacht's past record and designated her as the "Mother of the Fleet." Capt. Chad bourn accepted, in a brief speech of thanks. - , "The prize for sloop rigged yachts, a silver cream spoon, which was won by the Peeottv. was now presented. r It was accepted by Mr. Brooke Empie, depu tized by Capt. Kidder, in a most witty manner. Capt. Kidder was then called for and responded in a, few words, The result of the regatta was almost a comDlete surprise. . In past years the a - - , . . : - OAY JULY 7, ; 1890 ' ::' ; V were the S;Wru - - - i Ripple led the fleet ana boats built to beat her, But nov . her most ardent admirers imagined that she could enter cat-rigged and come out first. An old boat and a young captain, however, 'were the -combination that won. - - - i The Sprite accidentally fouled the Idler at the second buoy and had her sail badly torn. . - Although the Nixie was unfonuna'e and did not win tbe race, the way she laid up on the first tack and down the chanuel wss enough to show her sailicg qualit;e3, and ws pred ct great success for her when she becomes more accus tomed to her element. Probably another race for cat-rigged boats will be held by the Carolina Yacht Club in about two weeka. AT THE CLUB HOUSES y The Carolina and the Clarendon yacht clubs extended court esit son the Fourth, making the day very pleasant for tbe members of both clubs. Large crowds registered and many prominent visitors eoi jyed the privileges so kindly ex tended to them. Both clubs' gave a dance at night and many of the fair ones participated. Old Ocean was on good behavior and : "JE jlus, the god of the Winds," did his best. -The breezs was indeed delightful and the air jast cool enough to be pleasant. The late trains brought many of Wilmington's loveliest daughters down, and the dance, which was decidedly the feature of the day, be gan at 8 30 p. m. The Hungarian Band discoursed sweet music and contributed largely to the pleasures of the evening. At 11 p. m. tbe music ceased and the dancers returned to -the home-bound train." -i . .The following is a list of the visiting young ladies who participated in tbe dance : Miss Shipp, from Raleigh; Miss Morgan, from Durham; Miss Young, Washington, D. C; Miss Fuller, South Carolina; Miss Hyman, Newbern; Miss Miller. Goidsboro; Misses Wood, Hanes and Young, Wiuston. . AT CAROLINA BEACH. ; Four trips were made between Wil mington and Carolina tjjach on the Fourth, and each trip large crowds were aboard. By noon this favorite resort was fairly alive with pleasure-seekers; the young and gay dancing the fleeting hours away; the man of family, with his spouse and children, seeking recreation and health-giving ozone; the daily laboer, listless for the nor.cj to the clang of the working bell, and breathing air that bad not been breathed before. The amusements were for all. If you wanted rest, you could sit still; if you were nimble of fxt, l here was music to set it in motion; for the lover of sport and games, base ball and ten pins "you paid your money and took your choice." Tne crowd was a good-natured one, all on pleasure bent. John Barleycorn was not ia evidence. The base ball game in the afternoon 'between Wilmington- and Southport resulted in a victory for our boys, by a score of 5 to 3. Tne following players composed the Wilmington team: Smith, catch; Zellers, pitch; Schu.ken, 1st base; Galloway, 2 ad base; Davis, 3rd base; Farrow, short stop; Ssllers (captain) left field; Genaust. center field; Allen, right field. The heavy batting of Genaust, Galloway, Zellers, Sellers and S'chulken, the catching of Smith of the Wilming ton team, and the batting of Watts, Pinner and Piver, the field playing of Dozter, and the bise ruoning of Savage of the Southport team, were features of the game. .

Tne Chicago lOatlook.: It cannot yet be foreseen Who will be nominated for President at Chicago. Just now the fight seems to . be between Boies and Bland, with surface indica tions rather in favor of the latter. "Sil ver Dick" has the talk; but it does not now seem that he can ever command a two thirds vote. It will probably be shown while the balloting is in progress that Boies has the best staying power; ; and as between him and Bland the Star inclines to the belief that he has the better char ce. There seems to be no probability that Senator Teller will be nominated. The fact that he is a Re publican is likely to destroy his chances. The possibilities for the Vice Presi dential nomination arc numerous. John R.i' McLean of Ohio, is quite promi nently mentioned, Judge Walter Clark 4s entered, and an inciDient boom for ex Attorney General Garlacd, of Arkan sas, has appeared, Capa Fear B fljmeo. Some of the surviving members of Company F (formerly the Cape Fear Riflemen), Third N. C- State Troops, met yesterday evening. Cipt. M. Han- kins was called to the chair, with . M. King secretary. The obiect of the meeting being stated by the chairman, it was resolved td meet again on Monday evening, the 13:h of July, at the City Hall, for peimr nent organization, at which time it is to be hoped that all tbe surviving members of the Cape Fear Riflemen and Company F; Third regiment, will be present. The officers of the Third regiment are re quested to meet with them. - INSIDE OF THE EYE. Iastrumems Wbich K eveal Well Kept Secrete of Nature How De fects Are Spied Out and Needs Noted and Supplied; i (Though these are not the days of miracles, yet science, art and mechanism have advanced to a degree of perfection, and the possible accomplishments of facts almost bordering on the miracu lous, la truth, the rapid development in the past quarter of a century has accomplished much more than had ever been dreamed of in our phil osophy of long ago. It has not been so many years since medical science was unable to diagnose 'with positiveness tne interior condition of eye troubles. Of course, its anatomy and physiology were understood, but no one had fath omed the scope of tbe eye's mysteries until tne optnaimcscope was made to penetrate its walls and so oculism and optics have advanced hand in handrwith science. ' :' iTbete remarks are suggested by Dr. L. H. Matthez's work in the scientific ad itistment ot glasses to the eyes. There has been daily evidence of tbe good Dr. Mattbez has accomplished during his stay here and too much cannot be said in his behalf. It is not spectacles in them selves as mercantile ware, whether good, bad or indifferent, which give sight and effects good no matter what. It is the pre f essional skill and high scientific at tainments ot tne careful examining ocu lo optician, who makes his thorough ex-, amination and then adds to It, in optics, the filling of his formula or prescription tbe very highest degree ct skilled execu tion in the lecses and accurately fitting names. l Failing sight can never retrieve itself unaided, and tbe longer it is neglected the more difficult it is to apply the remedyr Dr. Matthezts not a vender of glasses. He is a gentleman who has made a reputation second to none in this ccuatry as a skillful and scien tific oculo-optician, having made the study of the eyes a specialty, and after twenty-two years of experience and close application to his profession is prepared to treat deftctive eyes in a practical and scientific manner. The doctor does not simply sell his glasses iney are merely an aaiunct to nis pro fession. He makes a thorough and careful examination of the eye, in a manner peculiar to himself, and under stands that delicate organ in all its various 'phases. Having satisfied him self thoroughly as to tbe condition and needs of the eye under consider ation, the doctor , then proceeds ; to adapt the lenses to its requirements This is now the moment when the knowledge cf the lenses required is brought to bear, and as all depends on the glasses to be selected. Tbe glasses used by Dr. Matthez are not common glasses, selected at. haphazard, but are of the finest material money can pro duce, scient:ncaiiy adapted to the re quirements of all degrees of failing sight, and made with reference to the needs of the eye, not requiring constant cnanges ana adapted to eacn case, mere is only a short time in wnicn to call on the doctor, so it will be best not to out it off. but co at once to The Or ion, office room 41. Doctor Matthez makes and preserves a record ot each in dividual case, so that any one having his service and glasses can always get the same duplicated.
