But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demo crat ic'National Convention. ' J3f "I am for McKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J. Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector -at-Large. ; "I desire to meet Mr. Russell on the hustings of North Carolina. I want the people to bear ns and de cide between me and what I repre sent, and what I think he represents. With their decision I shall be con tent. If elected Governor of yonr 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. HELPIVO THE EHEMY. There are some-Southern Demo crats who do not favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 or any other ratio. They call themselves "sound money men," without stopping to ask the: question what "sound money" really is. The silver dollar is sound money now. Will coining more of them make them undsound monev ? Whv are 4 4 they sound money now? Simply because the; bear the stamp of the Government and are declared bylaw VOoA and lawfnl mnnv tn mv in exchange for articles purchased and to pay debts. We are told that they are sound because the Government maintains the parity between silver and gold, but this is not true, in the sense in which they mean it. The parity is maintained between the greenback, which is imn! an . " . : r-j evidence of indebtedness, and gold or silver because it is redeemable In gold or stiver, but silver coins are money and are not redeemable. The Government does not exchange gold for silver nor obligate itself to ie deem silver, but declares the silver it coins to be money in every sense that gold is money, except that In accordance with the methods of the 'Treasury, but not in accordance with law, it will not pay debts due to bondholders or to holders of Gov ernment notes. But In law silver is money as good and sound as gold. If it cease to be sound it will simply be because the money handlers whose interest it is to keep money scarce will conspire against it to de preciate u ana tnus make it what thV fill nncminrl m -r an i In order to secure what these .Southern "sound money" Democrats call soundmoney, some of them say they will not vote for Bryan and Se wall, but will vote for McKinley and Hobart, although" they confess that there will be two very large-sized pills for them to swallow. Well, they will be large sized pills for a fact, for the Southern Democrat who swallows them will have to swallow a whole apothecary shop with them. We admire the stomach that can survive that feat without becoming sick unto death. When they swallow McKinley, they have to take not only the high protective tariff against wbicb Southern Democrats have been fighting for twenty Ave years, but they have to take bin with bis Force bill record from which the South escaped only after some of the hard est parliamentary struggles on re cord. They must take the Re publican party with its record of trusts, monopolies, sectional legislation, Sec, in all ! of which there is not one friendly ac ' tion to the South, nor one act to in dicate any friendly interest in the country lying south of the Ohio river, which the Republican party managers and statesmen never looked upon as an integral part of the Republic. j s The gold standard Democrats know this, and yet to prevent the free coinage of silver they are will - ing to swallow it all, to restore to power the party against which they bad bees fighting for years, and again give it supreme control of na tional affairs. But they say they will not vote for Republican State tickets, because they recognize the'necesslty of keep ing our State affairs in the hinds of Democrats, whether they be for free silver Democrats or gold standard Democrats. This speaks well for them in the resolve to protect their States from Republican role. Bat if they considered a little it wouldn't take them long to discover that in voting to restore the National Re publican party to power they are building up and strengthening the Republican party in the South and making the capture of these States by the Republicans a much more difficult thing , to prevent than it otherwise would be. Take North Carolina, for instance. Suppose all the Federal offices in this State were filled by Republicans, who would act as party orgnizers, campaign hust lers, .vote hunters, money contribu tors and boodle distributors, wouldn't we have a harder task to perform in fighting that party ? We have had some experience of that in the past when the post offices, the internal revenue, and even the courts were run in the interest of the Re publican party, and the experience we have had ought to be a warning that we shouldn't forget. The Democrat who votes for Mc Kinley may not . intend it but he practically casts a vote to strengthen the Republican party in the South and to help the Republicans in their efforts to capture States in the South. In some of them the parties are so evenly divided that it does not take much to turn the scales either way, and this is especially true since a third factor has come into play, and always renders the result of conflicts doubtful until the ballots are counted. The Southern "sound money" man who would regard the turning over his State to Republican rule as a calamity should seriously ponder be fore he assists in bringing that about by voting to put the National Gov ernment into the hands of a party which will do its utmost to build up the Republican party in South when it gets in. HTJIOR MZXTIO. One of the favorite and stereo typed assertions of the organs of the goldites is that the agitation of the silver question is an attempt to array the masses of the people against the wealthy ctass. During the. tariff agi tation a similar charge was made and the tariff organs were in the habit of dilating upon the great out rage the Democratic anti-high tariff advocates were perpetrating in at tempting to array the masses against capital invested in our manufactu ring industries. If there be really any conflict between the masses and the wealthy class the men who rep resent the wealthy class in the pres ent political contest are doing all they can. to array the wealthy class against the masses and to convince the masses that there is really a con flict of interests which the man of wealth accepts and acts upon. The spokesmen of the managers of the campaign for McKinley make the bold boast that they will have more money for use in this campaign than they ever had, for they will have not only the rich manufactur ers (who expect to be paid back when the Republican party comes in power) to draw upon, but also the money lenders, bond buyers and gold speculators, who are straining every nerve to defeat the candidate of the Democratic party and thus re tain control of the money system of the country! In carrying out this programme ot wealth against the people, Mark Hanna and his co-laborers make no secret of the fact that they are relying upon the money of the rich to defeat Bryan and Sewall, and they are bringing into active service men who have never heretofore figured openly in political contests. In Illinois Mark Hanna appointed a committee to collect campaign funds whoss aggregate wealth is over $50,000,000. Daring his recent visit to New York he ap pointed a similar committee, con-, sisting of about one hundred and forty men, whose fortunes range from $125,00000 to $1,000,000, whose combined wealths runs over $552,000,000. This programme will doubtless be followed in other States, demonstrating the fact that these party managers are arraying the men of wealth against the masses and that they are relying upon the money of these men to elect their candidates. ; There is in the city of New York what they call a "Democratic Hon est Money League," which was "or ganized for the single purpose of de feating the Chicago ticket" This league Is a fraud, for it is neither a "Democratic;' league nor an "honest money" league. It is simply an ally ol the Republican party sailing un der false colors to deceive Demo crats who believe there is fpmethlng in a name. The animus of this league is shown by the statement that It was "organize for the single purpose of defeating the Chicago ticket," which means that they will accept McKinley and Republicanism with all that this implies, If they can thereby defeat the Chicago ticker, because they and the money manip ulators whom they represent could not dictate the platform of the Chi cago Convention and name the can didates who were to stand upon it. They, doubtless, have the matter 1 fully understood with Mr. Hanna, upon whom they can draw for all the cashthey need in their efforts to "defeat the Chicago ticket."- The mystery as to "who struck Billy: Patterson"' has never been solved, and the courts seem to be quite perplexed in solving the ques tion as to what the bicycle really is. Some judges in this country have decided that it is -baggage,' others a ehide,", and ; one afweapoB." Now comes an . English judge who decides that it is roller skates, which puts the English biker in a-quandary to know whether he is riding or skating. CURRENT COMMENT. Several thousand . miners in Michigan have been thrown out of employment in order that they may see the error of their way and vote for McKinley. This mode of cam paigning Is an excellent running mate for the poticy of the rural doctor who used to throw his patients into convulsions in order to cure them of minor disorders. N. Y.JoumalDem. A favorite argument to those opposed to free silver coinage is that England and other 'European credi tor nations will flood this country with its bonds and demand payment in gold. Bat suppose they cannot get gold, would it be good business sense in them to assist in reducing the value of a silver .dollar to fifty odd cents ? Would it not, on the contrary, be the part of wisdom to maintain the integrity of the coin in which they would perforce be largely paid ? New Orleans States, Dent. 'One does not find many gold-bugs np here in Minnesota. Almost everybody is for silver," writes a correspondent for a Chicago paper. It is also said that in Wis consin there is only one Democratic daily newspaper for "sound money," and concerning this the Boston Herald says : '-Wisconsin used to be the bright spot in the West among several States that had yielded more or less to the free silver heresy. Her United States Senators invariably, and we think nearly if not quite all her Representatives in Congress have been sound money men.

' The women in the Nendorf Convent prison were all so kindly in their ways, so peaceful and good humored, they differed so completely from oar precon ceived ideas of criminals, tbat we were puzzled to imagine what could have brought them into prison. We had never a doubt but that their offenses were of the most trivial nature, and we said so. Tbe superior gave us one of hef odd. humorous smiles. "Did you notice tbat woman in the corridor?" she asked. "She is Marie Schneider." ' Tbat insignificant looking little wom an, who had stood aside with a gentle deprecative smile to allow us to pass, Marie Schneider! Why, in any other place one would have eet ber down at once as tbe hardworking wife of a struggling curate, so thoroughly re spectable did she look. And she is Marie Schneider, a European celebrity with more murders on ber conscience than she has fingers on ber hands 1 "And you let her stay here?" "We have nowhere else to put ber, the inspector, who had joined us, re plied, "and we don't bang women in Austria. Nor'is eho, as we soon found, the on ly notoriety in the place. One of tbe prisoners is a delicate looking girl, with large brown eyes and golden bair a type of beauty almost peculiar to Ans tiians. She has a low, cooing voice and a singularly sweet, innocent expression. "What on earth can that girl have done to be sent here? I whispered. "Done?" the inspector replied grim ly. "Set a boose on fire in the hope of killing a man with bis wife and five children." The girl must have had extraordi narily Eharp ears, for, although we were standing at some distance away, she heard what he said, and she gave him a glance such as I hope never to see again in my life. It was absolutely diabolic ; had there been a knife within reach the man would have died on the spot. Yet only a moment before she had been looking np into my face with a smile an angel might have envied. -Several of the prisoners are in tbe con vent for killing their own children : some for killing or trying to kill their husbands ; others for stealing or embez zling ; others again for no more serious crime than begging. There are all de grees of guilt there, in fact, and all ages, from girls of 18 to women of near' ly 80. And they all live together on terms of perfect equality, for there are no distinctions of rank there no one is better or worse than ber neighbor. When the convent door closes behind them, they have done, for tbe time be ing, not only with the outside world, but with their own past. They start life afresh, as it wera Cornhill Magazine.

A marine was asked by a reporter to give an account cf what he received in the service of Tjncle Sam and how ho and his fellows enjoyed mem selves on board ship.. .The following was his story: - S . 'The government engages marines far a period of five years. At the end of that time tbe marine may quit the service or be may re-enlist. There is no doubt of bis being able to continue in the service if he does bis work honestly. There is no worry about getting out of a job with Uncle Sam. During the first and aeoond years of the marine's service be gets in money, paid monthly, f 13. The third year he gets $14, tbe fourth f 15 and tbe sixth f 10. If at the expiration of his first five years' service he re-enlists, he gets $18 a month, and if he enlists for a third period of five years he gets $ 19 a month in money. "That is the cash part of. it, but that is not half of what a man in the service gets. The government clothes its men besides, and in very good style. It gives a marine a black helmet and a white one. These two are supposed to last for the period of enlistment, which is five years. ' There is no trouble about wear ing them that length of time, as they are not often used. Tbe marine also gets one undress cap a year, which is all he needs. He also, gets a storm cap each year. That makes 12 articles of head gear wbicb tbe government supplies him with in tbe course of five years, and ex perience shows that that is quite suf ficient It is nearly three hats a year, and there are not many workingmen who buy as many as that. "Tbe marine also gets one full dress coat, which, as it is not frequently used, lasts five years very nicely. He receives a fatigue jacket each year and an over coat. He gets eight pairs of blue trou sers and eight pairs of linen ones in five years, and experience shows that if a man is careful be does not need tbat many. He is also supplied with SO pairs of gloves for the five years. He gets two flannel overall irts each year, fie also has two undershirts and two pairs of drawers each year. He also receives four pairs of woolen socks and four pairs of cotton socks each year. He is supplied with three pairs of shoes each year and one pair of arctic shoes each season. He receives two pairs of blan kets during the term of service. He is also given 40 linen collars and three pairs of suspenders during tbe same time. That is the outfit in the way of clothing which "tbe government gives each marine who joins1 the service. These articles are all of first class mate rial, too, and very serviceable. There is no stint at all There are a few articles, like neckties and handkerchiefs, which the marine must buy for himself. "If a "man is careful and economical with his clothing, he can save fully one-half of the allowance which he gets, and if be saves any part of it be is al lowed so much money for the clothing he does not take.. There are men in the service today who are taking only about one-be If of what tbe government al lows, and at the end of their five years' service they will be paid in money for the clothes they did. not take. Tbe full value of tbe clothing allowed to each man for five years is $198. "The sleeping accommodations of the men are very god. While on shore du ty they live in houses and have beds, but while on shipboard they sleep in hammocks which the government fur nishes. The sleeping quarters, both on land and at sea, are clean and well ven tilated. The food is all that a man needs. Sometimes the commissary is not well administered, and the men complain, but they can soon get a change if they take their complaints to the proper offi cer. The food is very good and of suffi cient variety for any one. "The men on shipboard also get all they need free, and medical attendance costs them nothing. "Now this is the pay a man gets as a marine in tbe navy. He is well clothed and well fed. He sleeps in a good bed or a hammock, has proper attention if he is sick and draws handsome wages in cash every month. "His work is not at all burdensome. He has enough drill to keep him in the best physical condition and give his ap petite a keen edge. He has lots of time for amusement On shore he can play billiards and pool free at the post, and he may enjoy all kinds of exercise in the gymnasium. The men play baseball, handball, football. They put the ham mer and shot and enjoy themselves just as much as the 'college boys da The government also has at each post and on shipboard a library and a reading room, where the men may entertain themselves with books and papers. "Out of their wages the men must pay their barber and laundry bills, which together amount to about $2 a month. " Besides this the marine is taken care of in his old age. If his life has been honorable, at the end of 20 years' service he may retire to the Mariners' home, where he will have a room to himself, a good table, three suits of clothes a year, tobacco free and $2 a month. If he does not retire until after he has served 80 years, he then gets three-quarters pay' and three-quarters of all al lowances of clothing, besides a good home and good board, for the rest of his life. "It will be seen that Uncle Sam is not niggardly in dealing with his men. If they do their duty, they receive good treatment, and are well fed and clothed, nd draw, all things considered, very fair pay." New York Telegram.
