The La Crosse. Wis., Republican quotes the National Review, a British periodical, as follows: "We are con vinced that before long the British Government will be compelled to face a demand for a general confer ence to discuss the great interna tional question of bimetallism." The sooner this Government leads the way and decides that question for tself the sooner old Brit will be com pelled to hump herself and try to ar range for that conference. The Asheville Citizen quotes Mr. atterson, one ot the Republican ights of that town, as saying that Judge Russell is opposed to joint discussions." - Under present condi tions this is a proof of Judge Rus sell s sagacity. If we were in his shoes we wouldn' tackle Watson in a joint discussion, either. Besides. this is perspiring weather. A Republicau contemporary rises to remark that "the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 means poor bread without butter for tens of thousands of wage earners in this country." The way things have been running for some time there are thousands of wage-earners who get neither bread nor butter, except what comes in the way of charity. Mr. Goodwyn, the defeated fusion candidate for Governor of Alabama, says the Populists will get even by dropping sryan and putting up a straight Populist ticket for Presi dent and Vice President. As there s no show for electing such a ticket. this looks like a case ot biting their nose to spite their face , A Republican contemporary in forms its readers that "Senator Pritchard has always been an ardent silver man, but. he is likewise an ardent Republican." "The ardency of his Republicanism is so intense that compared with it his ardency for silver becomes a chunk of ice. Senator Jones: is still denying that interview. The moral of this is that chairmen of party committees should be very careful ho jr they talk and to whom. He is a lucky one who can talk much without saying something that can't be distorted into an ugly shape. Mr. Bryan has made no pledges, with the exception of the pledge to carry out in good faith in as far as the opportunity may present, the pledges in the Democratic national platform. .

Spec ill Meeting Eld to Consider Fermia- ion Granted tbe Carolina - Central to Bo lid - New Bridge Ova the Out oa Fourth Street. t- The Board of Aldermen met In spe cial session -at 12 o'clock m. Present Mayor . Harriss, Aldermen Northrop, VonGlahn, Cameron! Meares, Nixon and Walker. After the reading of the minutes of the' previous meeting, Mayor Harriss stated that the object of -the meeting was in regard to the - tearing down of the bridge of the Carolina Central Rail road over the cut near Hilton, on Fourth street ; permission granted the railroad company to build a new bridge and to raise tbe grade of the same. Alderman Northrop asked if. while the new bridge was being built, would it obstruct the street? '. 1- Alderman Meares replied that ; it would, for about two or three days; that a new bridge bad to be built'or passage' way over the old one stopped, as it was unsafe. - - j Protests were read from the Hilton Lumber Company and from the Pere- goy Jenkins Lumber Company, in which they stated that the raising of the bridge was solely a convenience for the C. C R. R.; that the bridge is now on a level with the street, and if the road wanted to do anything, why don't they lower their track. 1 Protest was read from Mr. W. L. Pars ley, in which he stated that he owned property on both sides of the bridge which would be id j ured. " A A communication was read from Messrs Willard & Giles, insurance agents, in which they informed the lum ber company that the tearing down of the old bridge, thereby making a delay of passage, would result in a higher rate Of insurance, and that some of the com panies would probably cancel their in surance policies, as the fire engines wauld be unable to get across the cut while the bridge was down. j Another communication was read from the Hilton Lumber Company, in which they stated that they would hold the city responsible for all damage to their property. ; I " Alderman Springer said he under stood that the fire engines could not now cross the bridge. Alderman Von Glahn said the en gine could not cross the bridge in its present condition. ' Mr. M F.. Gouverneur, superintendent of tbe Street Railway Company, who was present.stated that he thought the bridge could be repaired; that they had some theatrical performances to be given at HiltoaPark next week, and if the pas sage over tbe bridge was going to be stopped, they would hold somebody re sponsible for their lots. Mr. W. L. Parsley (who was also pre sent) said that tbe C. C. R. R. ought to be compelled to keep the road in good condition. I Alderman Meares said the bridge mas ter of the road said that he-would have to put in larger timbers to repair it. which would necessitate , obstructing pat sige for a few days. Alderman Northrop said if the raising of the bridge was going to injure any one's property, he would make a motion to rescind the permission granted the company. Alderman Meares said that the eleva tion will be so slight that it will hardly be perceptible; that there was no estab lished street grade. Mr. Parsley said the bridge covered twenty feet of his land on both sides of the cut. Alderman Meares said that raising the track fifteen inches on each side and thirty inches in the middle was a matter of human life with the road, as their brakemen s lives were endangered by the present height of the bridge. In response to a question, Alderman Meares said there was a great difference in vehicles going over a high grade and locomotives going down grade. It was then stated that in the Caro Una Central Railroad s petition they stated that they would assume all re sponsibility. Mr. Parsley said it was a bard matter to get damages out of corporations. Alderman Meares said the road would agree to fill in Mr. Parsley's lots if they damaged them, any. Mr. Parsley re- SDonded that he would pay for the brakemen killed. Mr. A. F. Aydlett, bridge builder of the road, who was present, stated that the established height of their bridges was twenty-one feet six inches.- The bridge was one hundred and twenty feet long, and , the grading would be about three feet, or thirty inches to one hundred feet. Alderman Cameron said that tbe road could put in drainage pipes to' carry off the water. , Alderman Springer said that -the pe tition had been granted, and there would have to be a motion to rescind it before they could act. v-- Mr. Gouverneu said he would like to know if Mr. Parsley would stop the erection of a new bridge by legal pro cess, and Mr. Parsley replied that he didn't know. . . ? , 7 ; On motion of Alderman Springer, the Carolina Central Railroad Company was required to furnish a guarantee that the city will not be responsible for damage incurred by the raising and erection of a new bridge 7 '- ' A communication was read from the Board of Audit and . Finance, in regard to the bill of E. H. Freeman, against the city for shells.The communication stated that while the mayor approved the bill. Mr. L. H. Bryant, superintendent ; of streets, did not approve it, saying that the shells were not of good quality. Mayor Harriss stated that he had ex amined the shells and found them all right. On motion of Alderman Meares, the bill was ordered returned, with the state; ment that the Mayor was the proper person to approve the bill, and that he had approved it; ana mat ne aiso statea that he bad made a personal inspection of the shells and found them all right At 1.40 p. m. the Board adjourned: mm v ..DOYOU TAKE IT?
