"-A Republican organ Is candid enough, to admit that an "honest dollar is not the exclusive property, of the Republican party." No, but the Republican statesmen have man aged to gobble a good many of them. Some of the gold organs have dis covered that silver coins pass in China on their bullion value.

The New York World says that when Bryan said he would not sup- port a gold ticket, if nominated at Chicago he furnishes all the justifi cation tne "sound mone" nmn. crats need for kicking against the Chicago platform and him. Not quite. If they think he would be justified m bolting after making such declaration they have no right to find fault with it, and if they do not think he would be justified they have no right to plead this declara tion as a justification for what they are going. i he gold men and the McKinley tariff boomers ought to get together and talk it over. When a mill closes or a railroad complains of little to do, the gold men say it is "the shadow -of repudiation" that is doing it, while the McKinleyites howl out it is that pesky Democratic tariff. Between these, how is the ordinary unsophisticated citizen to know what is doing it? These explainers should get together and have an understand ing. It will never do to go on this way.- The gold organs are still repeating the rot that the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 will give the bul lion owners f two dollars' worth of stamped coin for one dollar's worth of bullion. But how the dollar's worth of bullion will be worth two dollars to the bullion men and the coined dollar be worth only 50 cents to other people they do not stop to explain to the interrogating citizen. And now it is beginning to dawn upon Decoy Palmer that he too was looked upon a few years ago by some of the Eastern editors as an "an archist." The Detroit, Mich., Trib une quotes extracts- from a speech delivered by him four years ago in the Senate on the Homestead strike, which the aforesaid editors de nounced as decidedly anarchistic. The Louisville Courier-Journal thinks it hits Bryan hard when it calls him a "youngster." This youngster I seems to be creating de cidedly more of a stir than the old sters that the esteemed Courier- Tournal is trvine to boom into national prominence. v The cold orsrans. sneer at talk about "the money of thei Constitu tion."

' At 12 m. yesterday Coroner David lacobs empannelled the following jury. v.z: w. Y. Oldham (foreman). Jos. S. Sneeden, C. E. Gordon, Jno. McRae and Too. Howe, who held an ir quest at the court house over the body jof Maty Hlght, who was run over by the "dummy" engine on the W.. N. & N. railway Tuesday night (as told in the Star). ' .-'v . ' ' .;; : The following witnesses were sworn and testified: .... Dr. A. H. Harriss said: "Tuesday night, shortly after eight o'clock, I had a telephone call calling me to the power bouse. I responded to the call and went to the power house. I found this woman, Mary Hight, lying on a table in the street, and upon examination I found -both legs badly mangled, the right leg below the knee, and also a wound in the forehead. She was suf fering from collapse or severe weakness. I advised that she be moved to the City Hospital, and with the assistance of Drs. Burbank, Schonwald and Lane we fcund it necessary to .amputate both legs above the knees. She was very weak and we had to build her up before performing the operation. She died shortly after the operation was per formed. Ia my opinion her death was caused from the accident. She died about 11 o'clock." Mr. J. S. Leary, engineer on the dummy, testified as follows: "I am an engineer for the W., N. & N. Railroad. I was making my way from the Mul berry street depot over to the Surry street depot, with one car attached to the dummy, and as I was passing Mr. Sprunt's - wall, about ten minutes past eight o'clock Tuesday night, I thought I saw an object, probably about seven or ten feet ahead. I was not, sure of this, as I was on the opposite side of the engine from where I thought I saw the object on the track. It was as quick as a flash, and befo:e I - could shut off or do anything the engine bad pass:d over it, and as I felt no jar Irom the engine whatever, nor heard no outcry, I supposed it to be a piece of paper or something blown across the track, so I proceeded on down to the Surry street depot and put the car on the side track and started back. When I got to the trestle at the foot of Church street some one signed me down, who said that he thought I had run over a man down below. I don t remem ber what I said to him, but I think I told him that I would see, and proceeded on further down the track to the place where I thought I had seen the object. On arrival there I found Mary Hight. She was on the opposite side of the track" from where I had seen the object. I went to her and recognized who it was, and with the assistance of my brakeman I put her on the engine, and carried her down to the power house and placed her on a pile of cross ties that were piled up like a bench, and remained with her. The first thing I done after I got to the power house was to summon a doc tor. : I remained with and assisted her ail that I could until Dr. Harriss ar rived. I had my light on the engine. Instead of a headlight, I had a lantern on the inside of the headlight. Did not have a reflector. The light would make an object visible at a distance of thirty feet. I could see an object and avoid an accident at that distance. I think she was lying down. If she had been walk ing or sitting, I could have seen her. She recognized me, but the only thing she said was 'take those cars off my feet.' She seemed to think that some thing had hold of her feet." James Jones, colored, the man who signed the engine down, being sworn, testified as follows: "The only thing I saw was the engine going towards Surry street. I heard some one holler 'O, Lord!'! I went to the trestle and when the engine came back I waved It down and told the engineer to stop, that I thought he had run over a man. I didn't go back with him. Don't remember whether there was a headlight on the engine or not. Don't remember what he said, but he slowed down and went slow after I told him what I did." J.T.Brown, fireman of the engine, Tony Pierce, brakeman of the train, and Jasper Telfair, also testified. ' - After hearing the evidence in the case, the jury rendered the following verdict : "That Mary Hight came to her death by her own carelessness, hav ing been found on the railroad track, supposed to have been asleep when the "dummy," on its way from Mulberry to Surry street, ran over her, she not be ing seen by the engineer, J. S. Leary." The body of the deceased was in terred yesterday in Pine Grove cem etery. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Beoefpta of Havel Btorea and Oottoa j Teeterday. Wilmington & Weldon R.

BADLY SCARED. A SO-CALLED "SOUND MONEY" DEMO CRAT SEES THE HANDWRIT . ING ON THE WALL. . IUinoir, Iadiant, Iowa, .Miohtsan and Minnesota Very Doubtfal, He Declares Free Silver Advooatea ' Have Baen TJatirinej in Their Ef- : forte aod Eave Mads -Many . Convent. . The following from the New York Times (a solid gold organ), coming as it does from a so-called "sound money" Democrat, shows conclusively that Bryan will carry the middle West: "Both the Republicans tmd the sound money Democrats are relying too confi- dently on Illino s and the States around It," said Adams A. Goodrich, of Chicag'o, last night. Mr. Goodrich is a National, or sound money, Democrat. He was largely in strumental in organizing the sound money forces in Illinois, be was elected a delegate to the Indianapolis Conven tion, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the State organization of the National Democrats. the situation serious. To a reporter of the New York Times Mr. Goodrich said last night that he con sidered the situation throughout the West as very serious "Your Eastern politicians," said he, "are misinformed as to the situation in the Central Western 'States. They are claiming that these States are safe for McKinley. There was never a greater blunder. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mich igan and Minnesota are very doubtful." ' "Why are they in such bad condition?" he was asked. SOUND MONEY MEN INACTIVE. ' Simply because the Republicans and the sound-money men have done little or no work there, while the f ree-suver men have been working in that field like beavers for three years. They have conducted a secret propaganda for sil ver. An inundation of free-silver litera ture has been turned on the central Western States by Stewart and Jones and the rest. This flood has crept in quietly and unceasingly from the ex treme Western States until it has about drowned out everything else. Every farming community has been system atically worked. The literature has come irom Colorado and Montana, where the postmasters and mail men are for free silver, and would not give the game away. Had the effort been at tempted from the East, the Republi cans would have known it in a day." "You think that this free silver litera ture has had the desired effect?'' "I certainly do. It has turned the farmers, both the Democrats and Re publican;, into rabid free siiverites. As has been said, free silverism is no longer politics; it is a disease. The arguments used for the conversion of the farmers have been cheaper money, English con trol of American finances, higher prices for farm products and higher wages. When you talk to the farmer about a depreciated currency he will say to you he wants cheap money, and that it can t hurt him. ! "I can give an illustration of how rabid these people have become. There is a man is Jersey county who had been my client for years, j I looked upon him 'as a close personal friend. I spoke to him the other day about gold and sil ver, and be turned on me and said, with an oath: 'How much are you getting for this?' Arguments .do not go far with such men. i MUST GET AT WORK AT ONCE. "Unless the Republicans get to work at once and organize thoroughly in every district and county, Illinois will be lost to sound money and will give Bryan a majority in November. They are rely ing too confidently on the poll they are taking. Thousands of farmers will say they are all right on the money question merely to retain their social and politi-- cal standing among their neighbors, but they will vote for Bryan. The poll the Republicans are staking amounts abso lutely to nothing. What is needed is quick, effective work, Nothing else will save Illinois and these other States. I consider them as lost now. but I believe they can be won by November. "The free siiverites are also winning recruits in the city of Chicago, especially among the small shopkeepers. These men have been greatly injured by the big 'department' stores. They find their business leaving them, and. while they do not attribute it to gold, yet they are ready for any change, hoping for better times." A CHECK TO FREE SILVER. "Do you consider that free silver sen timent is growing in Illinois at this time?" .' "I do not. I think it is being checked but just now it controls the State. The Democratic State Convention one year ago indorsed free silver". I was a dele gate and fought it. Sentiment was over whelmingly in favor of free silver and Altgeld. Free silver also controlled the Peoria convention, which sent delegates to Chicago pledged to free silver. The free silver men are confident of carrying the State. Altgeld said four days ago that Illinois owed Bryan a majority of 60.000. "A great deal of hard and intelligent work must be done if Illinois and these other States are to be saved. The Scan dinavian farmers have been won over to free silver and the Germans are by no means solid for McKinley. Skillful work will have to be done among both classes. One strong voting element in Chicago the Jews will be for sound money. If Chicago is systematically organiz sd. it can be carried for McKin ley by a majority close on to 100,000 This would rescue the State. If the campaign is allowed to take the course it is now following, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Minnesota and Michigan will be lost." i- COLUMBUS COUNTY. A Bryan-Sswall end WaMon Club Orgen )zh1 at .Whlteville. Editor of Star, Wilmington, N.C: Quite an enthusiastic crowd of the cit'zins of: White ville met at the court house ib Whiteville Tuesday evening, September 15th, 1898, and organized a Bryan, Sewall and Watson Club. W. G. Burkhead was elected president, H. C Moffitt secretary, and V. V. Richardson treasurer. Stirring speeches were made by W. G. Burkhead and D. J. Lewis. . Columbus county belongs in the Dem ocratic column and no effort will be spared to place her where she belongs. H. C. Moffitt, Secretary. -Speaking at Etna ton. Mr. James M. Parrott, President of the Democratic Club of Kinston, N. C, writes the Star that a grand rally will be held in that city on Thursday, the 24th inst.; that Hon. B R. Tillman, of South Carolina, has been invited and will surely be there, and that the largest political gathering ever held in Lenoir county is expected. HP A .

Major Guthrie is giving the Repub licans a great deal of concern, and his recent utterances are very displeasing to the office-seeking and holding class of Populists who are at the helm of the party. Reports from the West say that Guthrie is hitting the Republicans with gloves off, and that he daily scores the agreement between the Republicans and Populists unmercifully. He boldly advises all Populists to beware of. Prit chard and Pearson. There is no doubt but that the inde pendent Populists, who will refuse to be bartered with the agreement recently reached with the Republicans, will ex ceed in numbers the expectations of those honestly in favor of silver.
