Will you submit to this conspiracy the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neizhbhrs, farmers wha labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a -conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all. (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered m New York August 18th.) WE CAN STAND ALONE. A stereotyped reason of the gold standard advocates in this country against independent action by the United States for the coinage of sil ver at a ratio of 16 to 1, or any other ratio, is that this country alone could not maintain the double-standard, or bimetallism, and therefore, while professing to be bimetallists and friendly to the largest use of silver as money, they contend that we should have the consent and co-operation of the leading commercial countries of Europe before we open our mints to silver, not to free coinage, but to any coinage that would materially in crease the volume of silver money, They give as a reason for repeal ing the Bland-Allison act which increased the amount of coin ed silver less than $50,000,000 a year, that we were getting more sil ver under it than could be maintained at a parity with gold, and they re pealed the Sherman act for the same reason. They insisted that we could not maintain this amount of silver at a parity with gold while the Euro pean Governments kept their mints closed against silver and refused to recognize it as full money, so that they are not only opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, but to any coin age without the assent and co-opera tion ot other gold standard nations, When the Congress of the United States, which was controlled by the money combines, as all the Repub lican Congresses of this country have been, at their behests demon etized silver in 1873 (a fact to which Governor Jarvis called attention in ,his excellent speech Thursday night) and demonetized it surreptitiously as he showed, they did not ask the assent and co operation of European countries, but proceeded to follow the example set by England in 1816, without conferring with or asking the opinion of any other country; but when it comes to restoring the silver which was then degraded; we are told that this cannot be done, and must not be done, without securing the consent- and co-operation of Great Britain, for without the as sent of Great Britain no other European nation will move unless this country leads the way, when they may follow without the co operation of Great Britain, as they followed in demonetizing silver in 1873 after this country had struck it down and surrendered to Great Britain. 1 To maintain their position the gold adherents quote European fianciers, particularly English finan ciers, to prove that this country could not alone successfully under take the free coinage of silver, and among these quote some bimetallists who have been laboring for "inter national agreement," some of whom fear that free coinage by this coun try may retard the general adoption of bimetallism, but there are few if any of them who do not candidly admit that if they were Americans they would, now that the declaration has been made for the restoration of silver to its status previous to 1873, .contend for it and support it. The famous Cherunisci, who has been as much quoted as any financier who lives on the other side of the Atlantic, said in a letter pub lished some time ago that being a European, although a bimetallism he was opposed to the free and unlim ited coinage of silver by this country, but if he . were an American, and viewing the question from an Ameri can standpoint, he would favor it. We quoted a short while ago some extracts from a letter of the leading bimetallist of Germany, Prof. Otto Arendt, who was also much quoted by the gold standard advocates, in which he declared that this country could not only maintain her bime tallic currency, but that the opening of our mints to silver would encour age the bimetallists of Europe, and would force the Governments of Eu rope to speedily follow our example, which they would have to do m seit defence, and thus bimetallism would be secured for the world all the sooner. He closed his letter with the declaration that, in his opinion, the election of Wm. J. Bryan would result in the speedy restoration of silver by all of those countries in which it has been demonetized. Another noted bimetallist, and one of the leading financiers of England, is Mr. W. H. Grenfell, once presi dent of the Bank of England, and now President of the General Coun cil of the Bimetallic Leagues of Great Britain, has just published a letter in which he says that with America taking the lead European nations must follow, or surrender the commerciar supremacy ot the world to the United States. In that letter he discusses the question at length, and among other things says: If I were a citizen of the United States, I should go about with 10 to 1 badges all over me. I believe that if the system were given fair play the United States is big enough, rich enough ana strong enouga 10 main tain the oar of exchange alone and to settle the ratio for the world." . Here are the opinions of three dis tinguished European financiers, all admitted to be good authority and quoted as such even by gold stand ard advocates in this country, de claring that if they were Americans they would be now found battling for the restoration of silver, which was demonetized in 1873, and ex pressing the full conviction that we can not only maintain our silver at a parity with gold, but can force other nations to follow our example, all of which we and others who contend for free silver firmly believe. A SPLENDID MEETING. Yesterday we referred in a brief editorial to the splendid work being done by Democratic speakers In this campaign, and the great interest shown by the people in attending Democratic meetings in such large numbers, although we are only oh the threshold of the campaign. This was practically illustrated by the splendid and enthusiastic meeting at the ,Opera House Thursday night when ex-Governor Jarvis spoke to one of the largest and most attentive audiences that ever assembled under that roof. The house was not large enough to hold the people who wanted to hear, and sev eral hundred were thus de prived of the pleasure of listen ing to one of the most practical, plain and convincing speeches ever delivered in that house, a speech in which no flights of fancy were at tempted, no ornate oratory, but one marked by a spirit of candor, earnest ness and-conviction throughout. It was a representative audience, and if conspicuous for one thin? more than another it was for the large number of working men, wage earners, to whom much of Governor Jarvis' speech was directed, and di rected because a studied effort is being made to draw them away from the support of the Demo cratic national ticket on the false representation that the free coinage of silver will be injurious to them. The attention with which they listened,, the aptness they showed in catching the points and the illustrations made by the speaker, and the applause with which uiese points and illustrations were received shows that the gold stand ard advocates are not meeting with signal success in turning them against the free coinage of silver and the nominees of the Democratic party. In this connection we repeat what Governor Jarvis said when speaking about the good sense and patriotism of the people, "the people can always be trusted." As an indication of popular senti mem mis meeting, occurring in a city in which there is perhaps as active an effort being made for the gold standard as in any city in the State, is most suggestive of the in tense interest the people are taking in this grejat question, and of the de termination of the masses to assert the, right of the people to rule, to the end that this may be "a government of the people, for the people and by the people, and it is a clarion de claratiou by the true Democracy of New Hanover county that they will do their duty in November, f Acting Chairman Payne of the National Republican Committee, says there is no use in denying the fact that in the agricultural regions of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and the Dakotas, there is a great lukewarm ness among Republicans on account ot the "money question." They do not like the way the g. o. p. is play ing it now. Mr. Payne,1 who ac- -t . Knowledges ic wun ipain, says it will take a good deal of whooping up and blowing on the big bassoon to get them , warmed up by Novem ber. ' s KXKOK MENTION. The McKinley Aid Society closed its business at Indianapolis with the nomination of Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, tor President, and Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky, for Vice President. Gen. Bragg, one of the few aspirants to fame, was conspicuous mainly for the weakness he showed when - the balloting took place. But this will not have the effect of lessening Gen. Bragg's high estimate of him self. It may be incidentally re marked here that Kentucky captured the Aid Society, but whether this was through the fascinating Col W. CP. Breckinridge, who has re cently recovered his "conscience," and who used to be known as "the silver-tongued" orator, or through the imposing name of Simon Bolivar Buckner, we do not know, but Ken tucky was in it and carried off the doubtful honor of the nomination of two Kentuckians, for Senator Palmer was born and reared in Kentucky. Senator Palmer is a gentleman who, by the way, like the distinguished can didate Guthrie of our State, has be longed in turn to all the parties. Be fore the war he was a Democrat, during the war he was what was known as a war Democrat, after the war he became a Republican and then he relapsed into Democracy, now he is variegating his Democ racy again and posing as a "sound money" Democrat with saffron deco rations. He is the same gentleman who was elected to the United States Senate with the aid of the two Populist votes in the Legislature which gave him votes enough to elect him, on the understanding that he was for silver, and now he thinks he is doing him self honor in opposing what he then favored, and denouncing the party Which he then courted and whose votes sent him to the Senate, for he never could have got there without those votes. Gen. Buokner is chiefly conspicuous in this connection for his opposition to free silver iu the last campaign in Kentucky, nd for being driven out of the race for the U. S. Senatorship by Joe Blackburn These are the two gentlemen who were put up as victims by the In dianapolis McKinley Aid Society. CURRENT COMMENT. Turkey owes $750,000,000 to very mnuentiai citizens ot various European nations. The size and the judicious distribution of this debt are considerations that must not' be overlooked in studying the causes of the long delay in the inev itable departure of the Turk from Europe. JV, Y. World, Dem. It remains for Major Mc Kinley to tell what the Government is doing for the silver dollar now that it wouldn't do under free coin age. He says the Government is now keeping the silver dollar at parity, or words to that effect. How? Sliver dollars are not redeemed in gold. Cincinnati Enquirer ; Dem. Public Printer Benedict says that he has been forced to buy more than 40,000,000 envelopes to meet the demands of the various party committees for franked documents for use in the campaign. Fortu nately, as Mr. Black is now in Troy, the pressure of collars and cuffs on the mails will be relieved until after election. N. Y. Journal, Dem. - An Augusta gold man says "You free silver men can draw your strongest argument from the recent action of the gold syndicates. These men have demonstrated that- they control the gold supply, and that they could have prevented bond issues a few months ago just as easily as they are preventing them now." He is right.

It needed a very bold man to resist the medical testimony .ot three centuries ago acainst water? drinking. Few writers can bo found iosay a. good wora ior n. une or two oily are concerned to maintain that, Mwhen begun In early lire, it may De pretty freely drunk with impunity, ' ' and; they quote the curious instance given by Bit Thomas ifiiyot in ms "uaswe oi Health," 1541, of the Cornish men, "many of the poorer sort, wblob never, or Very seldom, drink any other drink, be not withstanding strong of body and like and 1 1 ....HI .hm, ha r9 errant. AcftK K Thomas Cogan, the medical schoolmaster of Manchester fame, confessed In his Haven of Health," 1589, designed for the use of students, that he knew some who drink cold water at night or fasting in the morning without hurt, and Ur. James Hart, writing about 60 years later, could even claim among his acquaintance "some honorable and worshipful ladles who drink little other drink, and yet enjoy more perfect health than most of them that drink of the strongest." 'Xhe phe nomenon was undeniable, but the natural inference was none the less to be resisted. Sir Thomas Elyot himself is very cer tain, in spite of the Cornish men, that "there be In water causes or divers ais- eases. as of swelling of the spleen and liver." He complains oddly also that "it flitteth and swimmeth," and concludes that "to young men, and them that be of hot complexions, it doeth less harm, ana sometimes it proflteth, but to them that are feeble, old and melancholy it is not convenient." "Water is not wholesome oool by itself for an Englishman," was the version of Andrew .Horde raonK, pnyai- cian, bishop, embassador and writer on sanitation as tho result of a life's experi ence. And to quote the "Englishman's Dootor:" Both water and small beer, we make no ques tion, Are enemies to health and good digestion. ' But the most formal indiotmont against water is that of Venner, who, writing in 1622, ponderously pronounces "to dwellers in cold countries it doth very greatly de ject their appotites, destroy the natural heat and overthrow the strength of the stomach, and consequently confounding the concoction is the cause of crudities, fluctuations and windiness in tho body." Hospital. Baboura, the First Created Woman. According to our Bible and traditions in general, tho first woman was Adam's "helpmeet" the one we call Eye. The Hebrew Talinudists tell of another and previous wifo of "our Father Adam." If we are to believe their story, there was a woman created on tho same day when Adam was fashioned from tho dust of the earth. This first woman was Lilith. She proved a faithless wife and finally eloped with satan, becoming the mother or devils. Some little time after this Adam sighed for a new wifo, and it was then that God caused the famous sleep which resulted In the first man losing one of his ribs and getting a wife instead. - But the people (natives) of Madagascar don't believe any such tame tales. They know all about tho first woman and how she came into the world. According to their story, her namo was Baboura, and ber mode of entering the world was some what peculiar. The llrst man, liko our Father Adam, was placed in a garden. One of the brambles growing therein, and which he had neglected to remove, was well provided with thorns. One of theso pricked the leg of tho lonely man, causing a boil to form thereon. When that flrstx Madagascar boil burst, a woman sprang out through it. This was Baboura, the first woman of Madagascar. The above legend is very curious in jthe light of the fact that there aro dozens of native sea islandors who believe that the first woman entered this world through some sort of a sore on a man e body. St. Louis Republic Cold Drawn Steel Tubing;. The cold drawn process is now largely resorted to in tho production of steel tub ing and is a groat factor in tho construc tion of tho bicyclo and involves machinery both ponderous and powerful. One of the methods employed consists in taking a piece of stool in tho shape of a bar, or in got. This is bored through tho contor, and it is then passod through a die, after which it is heated and treated to a bath in a secret preparation, which removes the temper that tho drawing process imparts. This is repeated a number of times, each die used being smaller than its predecessor, with tho result that tho tube grows small er and longer. This is continued until the tube is of the right diameter and gauge. Tho drawing out of a piece of steel in this manner, without heating, is regarded as a notable example of the per fection of modern machinery. New York Sun. A Mean Employer.
