Burn down your great cities and leave your farms, and your cities will grow up again. Bat destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demo cratic National Convention. : -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 hear us 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 your State, I shall see that everf man, no matter what his station in life or what his politics, is gtved every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina." -Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. NOW YOU SEE IT. After all the card stocking, shuf fling and dealing the fusion game between the Populist bosses and the Republican bosses has been played and Boss Butler seems to have taken most of the tricks. Russell has sue ceeded so far as to stay where the Republican convention put him, but it was by knuckling and surrender ing to Boss Butler, who put up the job on his party and forced it to ac cept the terms offered. It is a queer mix all around, and one that it seems to us will -be very hard for the rank and file of either the Populist party or the rank and file of the Republi can party to s wallo w. The Populists have to swallow for the second place on the ticket one of the old "fire tried" Republicans, who has a pros pective lien on the U. S. Senator ship, to succeed Pritchard, who now seems to be a back number with the men who helped elect him. This Is doubtless part of the bar gain with Butler, in consideration of which Mr. Dockery consented to play secoo(Tfiddle to Guthrie. Dock ery wouldn't give a pinch of sawdust for the Lieutenant Governorship if it wasn't, in his estimation, the step ping stone to the Senatorship, in the event the combination carry the ; State. But where is Dr. Mott going to be in the meantime, while Butlfr and Dockery are playing their gams ? He nurses Senatorial ambition, too, has nursed it for years, and that accounts for his desertion of the Republican party, his espousal of the free silver cause and the lively interest he took in fusion between the Democrats and the silver men who are not Demo crats After all his planning and hobnobbing with Butler he finds himself outwitted and the slip pery Butler gone into the embraces of the cool and clever Oliver, who didn't say much but bad the longest pole. Mr. Docfcery's friends gave it out that he is a free silver man and that be would not snpport (McKinley on a gold platform. How much truth there is in this we do not know, but probably about as much as there was in the free silver professions of Jeter Pritchard, who held his "principles in abeyance" uotil hej grabbed the Senatorial j plum, when he resumed his principles arid his Republicanism, gold plated, reasserted itself. But here comes another mix. Mr. Dockery as second fiddler to Mr. Guthrie, will play on the silver string, and the sure enough Republicans who vote the regulation, put-up job ticket, and support McKinley on a sound money platform will have to vote for Russell who supports Mc Kinley on his sold platform, and for Dockery who is opposed to Mc i Kinley on his gold platform, and i they must do this, too, knowing full ; well that It is a part of the job to send Dockery for the silver man, to the Senate, to help carry out a meas ure which McKinley must veto if elected President, which measure the Republican party is now bitterly fighting. This is a rather ludicrous position in which the loyal, "sound "money" thoroughbred North Caro lina Republican finds himself, and this is the dish that the trick-playing Butler prepared for him.,, As .the situation presents itself now, Dockery has about the best of the game, for he has not only" had the satisfaction of compelling Rus sell's backers to confess their de pendence on him, and practically acknowledge that he is a bigger man than their hero, but in the event of success the choicest of the spoils loom up before him, and he stands a much better chance of making the inning than Russell does for he is assured of Populist support and has the dead wood on the bulk of the' Republican . vote, much of which Russell cannot get, unless he can find some way to placate and mollify the rebellious "savages" who have been kicking so vigorously since Daniel was put up as their standard bearer. Dockery will have no trouble in getting their votes, however it may be with the head of the ticket. But after all isn't it a very thin, and a very transparent game they have been playing, when the Repub lican barterers propose and advise fusion with the Populists in the coun ties, based on the agreement that they will support Populists with the understanding that the Populists in consideration of such support agree to vote for candidates for the Legis lature who will obligate themselves to vote for a Republican for the U. S. Senate to succeed Pritchard ? Oa the assumption that the Popu lists are honest in their professions how can they bargain .to support a Republican for the Senate when the Republican will feel it his duty as a loyal party man to stand by his party and oppose free coinage and other measures which their party ad -, vocates? There is uo exception made in favor of a Republican who may be a so called silver man, as Dockery professes to be, and as Pritchard did profess to be, but they must obli gate themselves to support, the nominee of the Republican caucus whether he be for free silver or not. This is putting them in . the same predicament that the "sound money" Republicans are put into who are re quired to vote for "free silver" Dockery behind ''sound money" Rus sell and McKinley. It is a nice lay out all around, and as it now stands about as nice a lay out as the Democrats could ask. If we can't whip this mongrel combine, and win in this triangular fight we ought to retire from the field. MIS OK MENTION. - - -Commenting upon an interview of a representative of the United Press recently with Mr. Wm. C. Whitney, of New York, la which that gentle man spoke about the desperateness of the situation and reproached, the Republicans for tailing to appreciate the conditions and to respond to the invitations Of the Democratic gold men for whom he (Mr. Whitney) spoke, the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, a non partisan journal, says: It has been openly claimed that the recent bitter arraignment by the New York Journal of Commerce of a learlincr public man who led in a gigantic con spiracy to brine on a panic a few weeks ago. in order to buy back stocks, re ferred to Mr. Whitney. The statement has been published and we belitve r o denial has been made. If true. Mr. Whitney had better not pose as a leader for sound money. His advocacy of any cause just now is likely to do it great harm. What sort of "realizing sense" did he have, if, as he claimed, be was in tbie rascally conspiracy, that, as the Journal of Commerce said, exceeded in venality anything ever known in Wall street? Mr. Wbitnev's advice doesn't count any more.' If Mjr. McKinley wants to succeed, it would be well for him to distinctly disavow any desire for the assistance of Mr. Whitney and bis heartless financial conspirators. f 1 he Monday after the Chicago Convention 'there was a big slump of stocks in Wall street, by which they were depreciated in the aggregate about $200,000,000, which the Jour nal of Commerce and Commercial Bul letin charged was the result of a con spiracy, in which men "high in party councils' were involved as partici pants. It mentions no names but talks in such a positive way as to indicate that it could call the names If they were de manded. Whether Mr. Whitney was one of these or not, we do not know, but it is somewhat suggestive as the Record intimates, that although his name seems to have been centered upon there has come no word qf ex planation or protest from him. Mr. Whitney is rated at about $20,000,. 000, much if not most of which has been made in dealing in stock. He likes the gold standard, which is evi dently a good thing for him. The Washington Post, a gold standard paper, but a sensible ope, has been for some time trying to drive some sense into the heads of the gold men who assume that there is nothing in the free silver conten ion, that it is but an effervescence which will bubble awhile and then fizzle out and be heard of no more. Commenting upon an exhibition of this kind of idiocy which recently appeared In the Philadelphia North American the Post says: We have no fault to find with the statement that the free silver movement is a delusion, but oar Philadelphia con temporary magnifies the importance of this Incident. Instead of being easily refnted, the arguments of the silver men are so well constructed that hard, heavy and continuous battering is required to upset themv Instead of bein ill-in-i formed the silver advocates are, as a rule, thoroughly well posted as the re sult of udy. Ejen the farmers and wage-earners, mer unaccustomed to the public advocacy and defence of political theories, have been studying the ques tion for years. It is true that most of their study has been on one side of the issue, but they have read the speeches and pamphlets of strong men and are fortified against light attacks. It Is worse than useless, it is iDjarius rather than helpful to the cause ot sound money, to declare that "free silver is a 'dishonest piiociple." The men who are advocating free coinage are no more dis honest than their opponents. This is their country as much as it is their op ponents country. .They have the same stake in the future as the , men on the other side. They are contending for what they believe to be right. We be lieve they are contending for a danger ous policy and desire their defeat. Bat they cannot be beaten by disparaging their intelligence or Integrity. This writer talks sense, although he talks from a gold standpoint, and he has gumption enough to compre hend the question. He measures Jls antagonists and shows some apprecia tion of the force that he has to con tend against. Revolutions which have been gathering strength for a quarter of a century can neither be pooh poohed nor whistled down. We have read of a great deal of political dickering but we have never read of any which in all the features of shameless prostitution of principles for pelf approaches the outcome of the bargaining between the Republican and Populist traders in this State. The Populist boss trader tries to conceal the infamy of his part of the transaction by the prentence that it was inspired by a desire to promote the success and carry out measures on which the prosperity of the American people is dependent, but his pretence is so thin that any one can see through it. The Republican bosses show their hand and publicly declare that the animus that inspires them in co-operating with the Pop ulist bosses is to get their man 1n the gubernatorial chair and carry the State for Mckinley. They expect the Populists to help them to do this, and also to help them elect Pritchard again, or if not Pritchard some other Republican in his place. Can any honest, sensible Populist be fooled this way, and be made a cats paw to carry out the programme of the Republican bosses? Can any so called "sound money" Democrat fail to see what the combine is aim ing at, and if seeing it can he give it aid and comfort by kicking against his own party because there happens to be something in the platform that he doesn't like? CURRENT COMMENT. The Democrat who desires the success of Hanna and Hannaism should vote directly for Hanna's can didate and not attempt to use the name of the Democratic party to make the dose less distasteful. New York Journal, Dem. Rev. Sam Jones gets, it is said, $1,000 for a week's evangelizing at Asbury Park. He is probably a skeptic about hard times, but let him confer with a majority of his brethren who have stitionary ap pointments. Augusta Chronicle,Dem. The sound money cause can not be enhanced by bulldozing la boring men with so called "object lessons." That mode of campaign ing does much more . harm than good, and it is high time some peo ple were ascertaining the fact. : Washington Post, Ind. The value of all property is measured by the amount of primary money. Reduce the total amount of money and you reduce the total value ot property. The advocates of free silver purpose to increase the value of property by Increasing the amount of primary money. Richmond State.

Barawell, was killed by lightning. He was driving a wagon load of tobacco that had been cured at Mr. Henry Davis' to his father's home. A little brother, aged 10, and a nephew, aged 15 years, were also in the wagon. The two boys were securely wrapped up in cloths to pro tect them from the heavy rain. The shock was so great that the horses as well as the persons in the wagon were severely shocked and the horses came to a stankstill. When the boys recovered they found Mr. White dead, lying on the gtound at the horses' heels, with his neck broken. Shocked to insensibility he had fallen from the wagon and broken his neck. !

Two of the poor unfortunate boy's brotners were present, and when they saw their little brother mur dered in cold blood, they sprang at the murderer, dealing two blows with a pitchfork, one in the stomach the other m the chest, either of which would have been fatal.

Meerschaum ia extracted in the same fray as coal. Pits from 25 feet to 125 fee.t deep are dug, and as soon as the vein is struck horizontal ' galleries, sometimes of considerable length, are made.-bnt more than two galleries are seldom to be found in one pit. The stone as extracted is called "ham tash" (rough block) and is soft enough to be easily cut with a knife. It is white, with a yellowish tint, and is covered with a red clayey soil of about one inch thick. In this state the blocks are pur chased by dealers on the spot, not by weight nor by measurement, but ac cording to approximate quantity, either per load of three sacks or per cartload, the price varying from 5 to 30 per load, according to quality. These rough blocks are dried and subjected to cer tain preparation before being conveyed to Eski-Shehir. Some of them axe as small as a walnut, while others attain the size of a cubio foot Those which combine regularity of surface and size are the best. The manipulation required before they are ready for exportation is long and costly.. The clayey soil attach ed, ia removed and the meerschaum dried. In summer exposure for five or. six days to the sun's rays suffices,' but in winter a room heated to the required temperature is required, and the dry ing process takes eight or ten days. When well dried, the blooks are well cleaned and polished. Then they are sorted into about 12 classes, each class being packed with great care in sepa rate cases and each block being wrapped in cotton wool Engineering and Min ing Journal. . I HORSE BLOCKS. fchae Were Made Ont of Safei That Had Bees Bobbed. Not long ago a Star writer had occa sion to be Tn western .Missouri. Just vnorth of Kansas City about 12 miles is the lttle town of Parkville, It is built np on the two sides of a valley which opens against the broad Missouri, and -the hamlet -might contain perhaps 60 houses. Among other matters, however, : it shelters a seminary of considerable -local fame which teaches both boys and girls the higher branches of an educa tion, but with which5 just now we have nothing to do. t. The main, street of . the -village runs along the bottom of the valley at right angles with the Missouri river. - - ( The Star writer was sitting in front of one of the stores smoking a very bad cigar of local origin and conversing with the merchant who had sold it. . It was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and many of the conntry people were com ing into town. - A country girl of the re gion came cantering up on a bareback horse: and slid off on what, now that The Star man's attention was called to it, he noticed was a queer sort of horse block. ' " It was nothing more or less than an old rusty safe of considerable size. It had apparently lain there for years and when examined disclosed a suspicious looking hole in one side, clearly the work of explosives. At this point the attention of the investigator from the east was called to two other safes, sim ilarly exploded and also lying on their sides in ' the street and .doing duty as horseblocks. "How about these safes?" asked The Star man of the Parkville merchant "What story goes with them?" "Nuthin much of a story, remarked the Parkville merchant, helping him self to a 'thoughtful chew of tobacco. "Them safes have laid right thar where you all see 'em since -78. They wuz dragged out there and busted by Quan trell and Jess and Frank Jamesand the Younger brothers, along with the rest of Quan troll's gang. They come chargin down the street one day in June and Ink the town jn about a minute and a half and then went fur them safes. Money wuz mighty popular with Quan trell and the James boys, and they usu ally went arter all they heard of. " "How much did they get from the safesf" "I dunno how much they got from them on t'other side of the street," said the Parkville man. "They hunted $3, 800 out 'n mine, " and here he pointed sadly at the safe nearest to him, the one on which the young rustic had just alighted. j "Was that safe yours?" was asked. "Yes," he answered. "I kep' store then right whar I do now and jest as I do now." "Why haven't you removed the safes?" "What's theuse?" observed the Park ville man. "They ain't in nobody's way, and they do first rate fur hoss blocks. Nutber thing, we ain't got no carts nor tackle strong enough to move "em nohow. - So we jest let 'em go as they lay, as they say in faro." Wash ington Star. Indian Territory Town Bites. Ex-Senator Henry L. Dawes, the chairman of the Indian commission, says that the town site question in the Indian Territory has become one of great im portance. There are now about.300,000 white people in the Indian Territory. They have built up towns, but are mere tenants at sufferance, without a particle of title to the lands on which they built The Indian courts are closed against them, as are the Indian schools to their children, 80,000 of whom have no other opportunity for schooling, excepting those whose parents are able to hire pri vate teachers. They have no voice in the governments of these five nations, nor a police officer to protect them or their property against violence. It will be the object of the commis sion, first, to obtain such a solution of the town site question that those who have built np these towns and invested large sums in costly buildings and ex pensive stores and trading places may have some title to the ground upon which the structures stand and some voice in their government, and, secondly. to Bee that the vast and valuable terri tory shall be held either according to the original title, for all Indians equal ly, or shall be allotted in severalty to them, so that each may hold his own share m fee.
