If elected Governor of your State, I shall see that every man, no matter what his station in life or whit his politics, is given every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina." Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor: WAS THIS PROPHETIC The agitation for the free coinage of silver has been characterized by the gold standard people as "a craze' but yet they have been somewhat inconsistently carrying on a "campaign of education" to con vince these crazy silver people cf the error of their ways, and also, presumably, to prevent other people from becoming crazy. If it be "a craze," as they call it, there are now, unless all the indications are at fault, more crazy people in these United States than sane,ones. But if it be a craze it isn't a sudden one, for it has been growing ever, since silver was struck from the list ot dollars in 1873. , . - , The agitation for the restoration of silver began soon after that and took 'substantial form in 1878 in the passage of the Bland Allison act. The "craze was quietedthen and re mained quiet until the same agencies which secured the demonetization of silver in 1873 succeeded in securing the repeal, of the Bland-Allison act in 1890, (which was replaced by the Sherman act; but when the same agencies which secured the demon etization in 1873 and the repeal of the Bland -Allison act in; 1890 suc ceeded in 1893 in securing the re peal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act the craze broke out again and wild, ' so to has Jbeen running speak, - over the country ever since, taking posses sion of big folks and little folks, younVfblks.and old folks, male folks and female folks, white folks and colored folks, regardless of creed or calling or previous condition. About the only persons who are not affected more or less by it' are those who are infatuated with yellow money, and even these are about hajf crazy with the fear that the white metal crazy people will run over them, capture the Government and proclaim the white metal coined good and lawful money of the United States not only for the native-born or adopted citi zen who does not hold a Government I. O. U. but for. the native-born or adopted citizen who does and for the distinguished gentleman on the other side of the waters whose occu pation is dealing in bonds, stocks, etc. But if this be a "craze," as they have been in the habit of calling it, it is one of the; most methodical crazes that ever struck this or any other country, and it has shown a staying, growiog quality which neg atives the idea that it is a mere flitting contagion which will run its course, like the grip or the pink-eye, for instance, peg out and vamoose. As the circles spread from the . stone dropped into the lake until they finally encircle the whole of it, so this "craze" ' has been widening . the circle until it reaches from ocean to ocean from the Lakes to the Rio Grande. And there are good rea sons why it has. The free coinage of silver was no whim, but begun, as we have stated, when the people began to realize the consequences of the demonetization of silver, and has been kept up more or less ever since, save when it was temporarily quieted by the recognition ot silver in the passage of the Bland Allison act. and its substitute the Sherman act. The wiping out of bpth of these brought the silver agitation to the front again, and there it will stay until it is settled. In a speech de livered in the Senate in January, 1891, J. J. Ingalls, then a Senator of Kansas, thus gave some of the rea sons for this agitation, or as they call H, craze: ' Mr. President, there is not a State ni the Ailechany mountains and south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers that is not in favor of the free coin age of silver. There is not a State which, if the proposition were to be submitted to a popular vote, it would not be adopted by an overwhelming majority. I do not mean by that in clusion to say : that in those btates east of the Alleghanies and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers there is any hostility or indisposition to receive the benefits that would result from the remonetizjtionof silver. On the con trary, in the creat commonwealths that lie to the northeast upon the Atlantic seaboard. New York, Pennsylvania, and the manufacturing and commercial States, I am inclined to believe,' from the tone of the press, from the declara tions of many assemblies, that if the proposition were to be submitted there it would also receive a majority of the votes. - Jf the proposition were to be submit ted to the vote of this country at large whether the silver dollar should be re coined and silver remonetized, notwith standing the prophecies, the predictions, the animadversions of those who are not opposed to it, I would have not the slightest, doubt that the great maiority of the people, isrespective of party, would be in favor of it, and would so record themselves. They have dealared in favor of it for the past fif teen years, and they have been juggled with, they have been thwarted, they have been paltered with and .dealt with in a double sense. The word of promise that was made to their ear in the platforms of political parties have been broken to their hope. There was a majority in this hodv at the last session of Congress in favor of the free coinage of silver. The compromise that was made was not what the people expected, nor what they had a right to demand. They felt they bad been trifled with, and that Is one cause of the exaggeration expressed in the ver dict of November 4. I feel impelled to make one further observation. Warnings and admoni tions have been plenty in this de bate. We have been admonished of the danger that would follow; we have been notified of what would occur if the -tree coinage of silver were sup ported by a majority of this body, or if it were to be adopted as a part of our financial system. I am not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but I say to those who are now arraying themselves against the deliberately expressed judg ment of the American people, a aag ment that they know has been declared and recorded I say to the members of this body, I say. so far as I may do so with propriety to the members of the co-ordinate branch of Congress, and I say. it without impropriety I may do so, to the executive of the nation, that there will come a time when the people will be trifled with'no longer on this subj:ct Once, twice, thrice by executive in tervention. Democratic and Republi can, by parliamentary proceedings mat I need not characterize, by . various methods of legislative jugglery, the de liberate purpose of the American peo ple, irrrespective ot party, has been thwarted, it has been defied, it has been coctumeliously trodden under fool; and I repeat to those who have been the in struments and the implements, no mat ter what the impulse or the motive or the intention may have been, at some time the people will elect a House ot Representatives, they will elect a Senate of the United States and they will elect a President of the United States, who will carry out their pledges and execute the popular will. . This is history condensed, and true history, recited By a man who was then a loyal Republican, a "sound money" man, as they call them now. It was also, a warning, and, in the light of the present situ ation, when the gold standard peo ple are not sure of their footing anywhere, it reads like prophecy about to become fulfilled. MIS OB ME9TIOH. We have several times called at tention to the bulldozing methods at tempted to intimidate people and check the progress of the free silver movement. As another illustration we clip the following press dispatch: Omaha, Neb , July 31. Considera ble excitement prevails among farmers of Box Butte county over a communica tion received from the First National Bank of Alliance. The letter reads: "Owing to the constant agitation of the financial policy of the United States and the socialistic feeling emanating from the Chicago Convention, there has been a doubt thrown over; the minds of the people, such that points tothe pos sibility of a greater panic than we have yet seen, should the laboring men of the country be thrown out of employ ment (now only half employed.) "There will be great labor trouble.such as will call on our military and cause much distrust . to the future outcome. We prefer to do nothing till there is more stability rather than take the chances of losing what we have, and would advise all our friends to stay but of debt. We will call in all our paper this Fall. We have your note , due . Please be prepared to meet it promptly, and do not ask for further time. Yours truly. r "R. M. Hampton, Cashier," . Who cashier Hampton is, "or the size of the bank he represents, we do not know, but the purpose of this thing is so apparent the surpris ing thing is that any bank would lend itself to it. Possibly this might scare some unsophisticated, timid person, and gag him on the silver question, but there is great danger of it being instrumental in doing more than that, In alarming depositors who have any money in that bank, if there be any such, causing them to draw it out, todoit quickly,, and thus precipitate a panic which might knock the bottom out of Mr. Hamp ton's bank, and the panic starting away out there in the rural regions of Nebraska -might spread and knock the bottom out of other banks. The people who are running that batik may think they are doing a cute thing, but they do not seem to re alize that they are playing with fire and running the risk of getting pret ty badly roasted. - Senator ' Jones, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, is a pretty plain-spoken man, but he is not a fool, a fact which the campaign liar seems to have lost sight of when he reported Chairman Jones as say ing that the Populists in the South would "go with the negroes, where they belong." Of course Senator Jones contradicted this as soon as his attention was called to it, and re ported what he did say, but we have no doubt that this lie will be made to do campaign service, , and wiil doubtless be decorated "with picturesque trimmings as it passes from hand to hand. Representa tive Pearson, of this State, who is now in Washington, is quoted as saying ''that was the kind of talk that was needed to cause them (the Populists) to come out openly and vote with the Republicans," realiz ing which Representative Pearson and his associate machine managers will doubtless not fail to spread this falsehood broadcast, notwith standing the contradiction by Sena tor . Tones. When a campaign lie pets a start it is hard for the truth o - , to overtake It. especially when the lie is boosted by a corps of able- bodied, nimble-limbed, unscrupulous fellows who help it along and do all thevcan to throw obstacles In the way of the truth.

The Populists seem to be hugging to their breasts the delusive hope that Vice President Sewall will retire in the interest of Mr. Watson and there will be Democratic and Populist fusion in all the States, The wish is father to the thought and will not be realized. The Dem ocrats have placed their ticket be fore the people of the country and will vote tor It as nominated. Augusta Chronicle, Dem.- ., It is very evident that Presi dent Cleveland is not a candidate for re-election. If he had been, his latest Cuban proclamation, we may be sure, would have been of a de cidedly different tenor. It is lucky tor weyler that he has not had to encounter Mr. Cleveland under the Sackvule conditions. As it is, the President feels under no obligation to cater to public opinion, and peri naps ne feels a malicious satisfaction in deliberately flouting it. New York Journal, Dem. TWINKLINGS.

Russell, the Republican nominee for Governor, was in the city a short while yesterday morning on his way to Marshall, where be will spend sev eral days with Senator Pritchard. On his way to Marshall after leaving Salisbury Judge Russell was mtro duced to George Hanger, the popu lar conductor on the Western. Af ter inquiring as to his destination Mr. Hanger asked Judge Russell if he intended making any speeches. Judge Russell replied that he might poss'bly make a speech while in Madison county. "Well, after the roasting you have received from all sections of the State I wouldn t make any in another county in the State were I you, said Mr. Hanger, Judge Russell s reply, unfortunately. was not recorded. - Fayetteville Observer: Mr. Rob ert Furmidge, well known in this city, was killed last Thursday near Lumber Bridge.

Cbas. McKay is now laying between life and death, with a severe wound in his back, said to have been done by Toe Harrington with a knife. There was a big colored camp meeting go ing on at Beaver Creek church last night, which was broken up this morning about 2 o'clock by a ter rible tragedy. During the height of the religious excitement, and it is said to have been intense, Harring ton and McKoygot into a quarrel, which enchd in Harrington drawing an ugly long bladed knife and bury ing it into McKay s back, just be tween the shoulder blades. The camp meeting was instantly in an uproar and Harrington was seized, but he broke, away from his captors and made his escape. The wounded man was brought to this city and placed in the care of Dr. Melchoir. The doctor does not know whether the man will live or not.

WHY THE SEA IS SALT It has been scr ever since the CREATION OF THE WORLD. ; bf Great Benefit to Mankind Continents Prodoeed by tbe Skeleton ot Animal Tbavt Conld Not Bsto lired In Freah Wa ter Moee' Bbort Account. The- sea at presentoontains 90,000,- 000,000,000,000 tons of salt. If thisjalt fcould bo gathered in a solid form and compressed into the shape of a cube, it Would contain 10,173,000 cubio miles, teach edge of such a cube would meas ure somewhat more 'than 200 miles. This is enough to cover all the land on this globe with a uniform layer of salt to a depth of 1,000 feet j This statement as to the saltiness of the sea is interesting enough in itself,: but it is also suggestive. The questions may well be asked, Where did all this salt come from, and w.hat is the nse of it? Several scientifio gentlemen have attempted to answer this first question, and their efforts are not entirely satis factory. The second question is not so difficult. According to the history of the crea tion of the world, as told by Moses in the Genesis, it is implied that the ocean existed before the land, for, on tbe 'third day" the "water under the heav ens" was gatneroa togetner ana tne ary land appeared. t This statement has bothered a great number of able philosophers, who, in their effort to, stick to tbe letter of the Bcripture and at the same time to rea son out everything on perfectly natural principles, have been puzzled to know how such a grand transformation could be accomplished in one day. j And their perplexity was not relieved when learn ed geologists announced that it must have required ages for the waters that enveloped the earth to subside and re veal this land that lay beneath. . But when it was suggested that the .word "day" as used by Moses -meant, not a period of 24 hours, but an era of thousands of years, the difficulty was removed. This meaning of the word "day" is at present generally accepted by devout scientists,' who now declare that there is nothing impossible in Mo ses' account of tbe creation. This description, to be sure, is la mentably brief. It was hardly adequate to pass over such a huge event as the creation of a world in a few.lines. That was a big story from a newspaper point of view, and all thoughtful persons must acknowledge that Moses did not take advantage of his opportunity. Accepting the Mosaic account, Dr. T. S. Hunt, a learned writer on the phys ical history of the globe, supplies what Moses left out, and in so doing he gives a very good reason for the presence of the salt in the sea. Having arrived at the point of Moses' meager narrative where the earth was in a molten state and surrounded by an envelope of gases and of water vapor, Dr. Hunt says : 'The carbonates, chlorides and sul phates (chemical combinations of car bon, chlorine and sulphur with oxygen) were changed into silicates. The car bon, chlorine and sulphur, being thus freed from the oxygen, separated in the form of acid gases. These, with nitro gen, vapor of water and a probable ex cess of oxygen, formed the atmosphere, which was very dense (and also very unhealthy). "The surface of the earth was cover ed with lumps of molten rock (probably resembling furnace elag ). The depressed parts of the surface were filled with highly heated solutions of hydrochloric and sulphuric acids, which ate into the surface and decomposed it. In this way the silicates were changed to pure silica, taking the form of quartz as the atmos phere cooled, and the condensation of the vaporous atmosphere produced sea water, holding in solution salts of sodi urn, calcium, magnesium and ammoni um. The atmosphere, thus freed of its noxious elements, became pure and fit for man. . It is therefore evident that the i has been salty from the creation of the world. The salt does not come, as , is generally supposed, from friction of the water against salt "rocks" in the bed of the ocean. This, then, answers the first question. Where did the salt come from? The second question is pretty well answered by Mr. Q. W. Little- bales in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. "It seems,' he says, "that the sea was made salt in the beginning as a part of the grand design of the Creator to provide for the system of evolution which has been going on since the crea tion. Many distinct species of living organisms exist in tbe sea as a result of its salinity, and their remains have largely contributed to the growth of con tinents." . The minute creatures that have, lived in the sea for ages past have left endur ing monuments in the shape of islands, rocks and continents. If the sea had not been salty, these marine animals conld not have existed and secreted the hard substance known as a "calcareous skele ton," which has largely contributed to the growth of continents. Among these early inhabitants of the sea were corals, crinoids, sea urchins and starfishes. The saltiness of the sea has also much to do with the ocean currents, which distribute the heat of the tropics over the colder regions of the earth. Currents are largely due to the difference be tween the specific gravity of sea water and the freshwater of rains. Thus, when rain falls on a certain part of the ocean, the effort of the heavier salt wa ter of the ocean to establish an equilib rium causes a current. New York World. - Chevalier Bayard.
