Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar, reis ot tneir netg&Dors, farmers wno labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This i? 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 in New York August 18th.) IS HE HOHEST?. '. Wm. McKiniey has the reputation, at least among his followers and sup porters, of beinsr an honest man. TTe . , - 9 is now posing as the representative of the party which professes to stand for public morality and national honor and honesty. As such he ought to be an honest man and in his ca pacity as a representative and stand ard, bearer he ought to speak the truth, and be above deceiving those to whom he speaks or those who ap ply to him for information. Iu all of Mr. Bryan's canvassing, in the hundreds of speeches he has made to the hundreds of thousands of people he has spoken to, no one can truthfully say that he has made a statement unsupported by facts and the record when there was a record to appeal to. Can as much be said of Wm. McKiniey? His speech making has been a series of decep tions, filled with duplicity, pretence and a bold disregard of the record of his party and the facts of history as his party made it. We had occasion a few days ago to comment on a statement made by him to a party of "pilgrims," when he asserted that the $346,000,000 of greenbacks and the notes issued for the purchase of silver bullion under the Sherman act are redeemable gold, made so by the specie resump tion act. when he knew that there was not a scintilla of foundation for that statement, and that there was not a line of law anywhere in our statutes th at would j astify it. There is not a single obligation of the United States, with the exception of the gold certificates, that is not re deemable ia "coin," and when the re sumption ; act was passed ) "coin" meant both gold and silver, and did noi rerer rf!speciaiiv io euner one., ' as so canstrued ' "i ;V:':. . '";ia. ' . - ' . . . St nitir T aV -i Secretary Foster, he has followed the precedent set by Foster and Con tinued the arbitrary and unlawful discrimination against silver. Mr. McKiniey was deliberately tricky and dishonest in the statement but in this he has somequite distin guished company even among those who claim to be Democrat?, and the only true and genuine '. Democrats of the Wall street brand (none gen uine without it, - In the language of the cure-all medicine compounder all without the brand are base tmita- tions.) . " - " - Since that exhibition of dishonesty by Wm. McKiniey, another equally as bald-faced and brazen has come talight and the only way he can escape a conviction of absolute falsehood is to plead gross and culpable igno rance. -In September, 1895. a citizen of Ohio wrote and asked him if the gold reserve bad ever fallen below $100,000,000 during President Harri son's administration, and whether Secretary Foster had contemplated selling bonds to replenish it, to which he answered as follows: " : My Dear Sir I have yours of the 1st lost., inquiring whether1, the sold re serve ran below one hundred millions during Mr. Harrison's administration. and whether Secretary Foster contem plated selling bonds to replenish same. To both inquiries I wonld answer no. ' Yours verv truly, - Wm. McKinley. " Mr. McKiniey knew when he wrote this answer that the record was against him,' and the surprising thing to us is that knowing this as he mnst have known it, he would have put himself in writing with this "no, when the record could be so easily produced and thS falsehood proven. Isn't it a matter of public" record that the gold reserve had been in vaded to the extent of $5,000,000 be fore Mr. Foster's term of office end ed, that there was an impending de ficiency in the Treasury, and that Secretary Foster bad publicly ex pressed the opinion that the gold re serve could be used if occasion should arise to meet deficiencies, and that he did not regard that reserve as sacred ? , : Isn't it also a matter of public re cord that for months before Harri son's rehomination the subject of is suing bonds to replenish the gold re serve was under consideration, and -that if Mr. Harrison hadn't been re nominated' the bonds would have been issued ? It was the dread of the possible effect that an issue of bonds might have had on Harrison's election that prevented an, issue before the elec tion, just as the dread of the effect of an issue of bonds would have on the coming election has spurred the syndicates to keeping up the reserve until after the election and th .stave oJLaripJtbf4s5a-oHf6dsT But the proof remains that an is sue of bonds was. contemplated, for the order of Charles Foster, Secre tary of the Treasury, under date of February 20, 1893, to the bureau of engraving, is on record, to immedi ately prepare plates for printing three per cent, bonds of the denomi nation of 100s, 1,000s and 10,000s, and these plates were accordingly engraved and were ready for use be fore Charles Foster's term of office expired, and would, doubtless, have been used if Mr. Harrison had been electedbut having been defeated they concluded to let the Cleveland administration wrestle with the shrinking gold reserve, with the de ficiency and with the bonds. J Isn't it a matter of record, also, established over the signature of Secretary Carlisle, that the first bonds which he issued were printed from the plates prepared on Secre tary Foster's order, the only differ ence being a slight change made to adapt the plates to the use to which they were put. That is about the only thing, with' the exception of a deficiency, which the administration of Harrison and Foster turned' over to Cleveland and Carlisle. . And yet with - this ' record well known to the reading public, and these plates, Mr. McKiniey, posing as the examplar of . honesty, has the monumental cheek to assert that the gold reserve 'was not invaded during Harrison's term, and that an issue of bonds was not contem plated.. The man Ought to blush for shame, if not for making such a baldfaced statement, at least for be ing so easily caught-in the false hood. KHOB. HXaTIOJkY - Judge Russell and every other Radical stump speaker in North Carolina prate about the friendship of the Republican party, and their friendship for the negro. We defy any and all of tbem to point to one single thing, with the 'exception of emancipation and enfranchisement, that the Republican party has done for the' negro,' and these were not done out of love for the negro, but for other reasons. . Emancipation was proclaimed as a "military neces sity," and enfranchisement was con f erred as a "political necessity." The Republican' party enfranchised - the negro because its leaders believed that with the negro vote, which they thought they could control, they could outvote the white .men who adhered to- the"- "Democratic party, thus Republicanlze the South, to off set States jthey might lose; in the North, bold the national Govern ment, and control national policies. That was the motive, a selfish: one, and Although the negro got the ballot it came, not because these Republi cans loved the . negro and desired his prosperity, but because they wanted' io use him to hold on to power and 1 1 i-n-i- - i trim r- ir - promote their 'own interests. But this out of the question, what has the Republican party of North Car olina ever done for the negro ? Nothing. It has simply used and abused him, that is all. Every ad vance the colored people of North Carolina have made In tbe way of in tellectual or material progress has been - the ; ; result of beneficent Democratic rule, every school they have, whether of the high or low grade, except those which are the gift of individual beneficence, is the result , of Democratic legislation, which provided for. their establish ment and maintenance. There is no State in this country better provided with schools for the colored race than North Carolina, and Democratic legislation did it. The first Governor of North Carolina since the war. to give a word of encouragement to the colored race in their efforts at indus trial progress, was Zebulon B, Vance, when he inaugurated : the colored industrial Fair at Raleigh. Intelli gent colored people know this, they know that the race owes the Repub lican party, and especially the-. Re publican party- of North . Carolina, nothing; but the masses of the col ored people do not know it, for their race" prejudices are played upon and they aregshamefully and meanly de ceived by men who know better, but hope to profit by the deception. There are some amusing features in this campaign, although they may disgust people who do not believe in the show business in politics. In this respect, as the inventor and pro moter of the side show in politics, Mark Hanna is original and has achieved notorious distinction. From his fertile brain, supported by his plethoric campaign fund, sprang the "pilgrim" side show, which has brought delegation after delegation, and sometimes a score of them in a day, to the McKiniey shrine at Call ton, where they heard Hanna's proj tege discourse platitudes, and state ments made to deceive, and watched with interest the great feat of a man swallowing - himself. The sword swallower or the fire eater couldn't hold a candle to that. Next in order ' is the great attraction of the troupe of Federal Generals, sent out under the special direction of Hanna himself, to perform to the Union soldiers and bring them into the McKiniey ;, tent. This troupe travels by special train which is equipped with a large amount of aa tional flags, a rapid-fire cannon, and a rocket outfit conspicuous on a fiat in front. When a town is reached the cannon booms, rociels shoot up intotfee-'a1r, a bugler blows the bugle AUU lucu kU9 pcvjJic; ail atvuuu auun J .1 .1 1 - 11 ...n-J Tnm the performers are ready to begin. Speaking to the "boys in blue" who are reminded that they should "vote as they shot" concludes the gay "bloody shirt" programme, This is a very attractive feature of the show business and Hanna is : counting largely on "it. " No admission is charged as Hanna defrays all ex penses, and expects to get his money back in another way, if his man be elected. ; This is a degradation of the American flag and of the Amer ican soldier, but Hanna isn't over nice about these things and doesn't see any particular objection from his standpoint to using the Amer ican flag, the American soldier or the American preacher of the gos pel to help him play his game and elect his man. There are dollars in it for Hanna if he wins, and it is the dollars he has his eye both eyes on. CURRENT COMMENT. Don M. Dickinson is saying some very hard things of the Demo cratic Partv. Vet Don was half in clined to go with that party before he made a visit to Buzzard's Bay. Washington fost, Ind. . The expectation that, Mr. Bryan would stir: things up in the middle west has been more than re alized. He - has now been in the storm center for about ten days, dur ing which time he has spoken to many thousands of voters and stirred them to the greatest enthusiasm, The predictions that he would break down have not been fulfilled. He is as vigorous as' ever, and the people appear to be more anxious than ever to see and hear him. SavannahNsws, Dent. : : The Salt Lake Tribune says there is not a country in the world that clings to tbe gold standard that is prosperous to day. A few dealers in money in Great Britain are pros perous, because they are drawing revenue from all the world, but the great masses of the people of Eoz land are in a desperate situation. Tbe same is true of Germany, while the condition of tbe people of Aus trla and Italy is something frightful. Augusta Chronicle, JJem. Ex-Speaker Reed, because of illness, has cancelled his Indiana en gagements. -We are sorry. His bru tal bulldozing methods readily make Democratic votes. I The Speaker has recently been appointed to the fat position of arbitrator for the big life insurance companies, which position was formerly held by the late Gov ernor Willianr R ussell, of Massa chusetts.! Mr. Reed also has had for some time under consideration an other fat offer from a New York cor poration. He is, therefore, not talk ing merely for bis . health when he shouts for the cause of capital and the enslavement of the farmers and the wage-earners. Indianapolis Sen tinel, Dent. ' I Lenoir .

She had been an Invalid for two and a half years,, and her death was not unexpected to her friends. Goldsboro Argus: Some time ago Mr. B. H. Griffin threw some old letters in the fire, some one of which contained two $2 bills. In the ends of tbe envelopes that did not burn Mr. unmo secured small pieces of the bills, which he sent to the Treas ury Department at Washington, and received therefor on Saturday, two bright, crisp $2 silver certificates of the series of 1896. Concord Times: The darkies saw a chance to elevate their race and get an officii, and as they give about two-thirds of the - votes of fusion, they thought if was right to nominate one of their number for an office. So they put Warren Co'e man up for county commissioner. But how quick did they have to take him down. It raised such a storm among the white supporters of fusion that they had to take him down. - ; Statesvtlle Landmark : In the neighborhood of the colored settle ment, known as Bellmount, about two miles east of Statesville, Satur day night about 10 o'clock Albert Griffin shot Alfred White, ipflicting a wound which caused the latter's death some hours later. The shoot ing took place at the house of Loulco Chambers, colored. White and Grifiin, young colored men," were attentive to the same woman, Minnie White, and this caused the trouble. TWINKLINGS.

' We calmed down, tarried a few days in that for eign city, paid our hotel bill running up into the tens of thousands and departed, as did Mark Twain, glad that it was no worse." Persimmon and Medlar. "To packer 'one's Ups as by a persim mon" is a proverbial saying. Every one knows how astringent a persimmon la be fore frost or anything that hastens fer mentation has touched it. Sometimes the tree has within itself the power to start - fermentation independently of frost ac tion, and when this is the oase the persim mon is edible long before frost arrives. Other fruits aro of the same class. . Tbe medlar is a famous German fruit, not far - removed- from ' the apple, bnt it Is as as tringent as the persimmon until it begins io decay; then It is admirable. Frost is not called in to aid decay in this instance. It is simply set aside until it begins to de oay naturally. It does not seem m nice phrase,, however, to say that "a medlar ia not good until it Is rotten." The Frenoh have a more polite term for it. They say that tbe medlar is fit to eat as soon as it is bletted. We might, with propriety, adopt this word for tbe persimmon. Mt would sound very well to say that the bletted persimmon is good to eat. Meehan'S Monthly. v . Tha Crawfish's Tail. . The tail of a crawfish serves that animal as an oar. By a peculiar jerk of the tail the animal can retire from a dangerous ' object with almost in credible swiftness. The tail is much more effective in moving the animal backward than forward, a singular instance of adaptation to its situa tion, for by means of its tail it can withdraw into its hole with such swiftness as in an instant to place it out of danger. ( ICEBOUND IN SALT LAKE. Am Unexpected Happening; In Water That vr Never Freoses. The large percentage of salt in the XJreat Salt lake prevents its waters ever freezing over, and yet a curious incident was related to me of how a 'small pleasure steamer got icebound a dozen years ago off the east end of Antelope island. My informant was the' captain of the oattleboat that .makes irregular trips back and forth to carry stock, to and from this lar- gest of the Salt lake islands. I will give the story as . nearly as possible in his own, words : - "It was a curious thing that once happened tp me an Cap'n Dahls," he began, with a preliminary nndo , ing of the knot of his soiled necker chief. "I wa'n't much osedto sail oring at the time, an the cap'n often took me with him on short trips he made with his small steamer, the Susie. One day he got word that a boat was becalmed off North Ante lope. "We steamed out to see, an found a sheepboat bound for Car rington island. There was . three men aboard an 200 sheep, an they'd, been out ten days an bed no food an scarcely any water left. We give 'em a fair divide of the grub aboard the steamer, an, takin 'em in tow, made our way out in the main body of the lake, where we left 'em close to Carrington. It was getting late when we started: back, an just op 'site jar Biver bay we found our selves in a stream -of - ice which had come down from the swollen rivers that empty into the lake hereabout. At first it was only provoking to be hindered by the broken sheets of ice, but fin'ly it got so we couldn't make no headway. The cap'n said he'd sailed around the world four times an never was icebound before an . that, too, in a lake that's too salt ever to freeze. He was acting as engineer, an at last got so mad that he crossed an swore an com plained of my steering. .'At last we had to give it np till morning, an then it wa'n't no better. There was no wind to break up the ice an it kep' closing 'bout us till we could see nauthing but it on all sides. The cap'n 's temper got worse when the bread an bacon was all gone, an be growled out, 'Ketch me ever going to sea again with a green hand f er crew V I was pretty riled, an said something back 'bout a fool of a cap'n who thought himself at the north pole. ; We'd always ben good friends, but after that neither of us spoke more'n we's' 'bliged to all that day an the next night. When the second morning came an we saw it was still calm, we got reckless an piled in the wood till we got up 8 team an commenoed bucking ice at a great rate. We saw the glassy sheets give way to right an left,, an fin'ly we was clear of it, so we could go right ahead. It was Sunday morning, , an the sea an mountains looked so bright an peaceful that I saw the pucker in the cap'n 's for'ed smooth out, an he commenced to whistle soft an ole hymn tune we both knowed. I struck in where the line repeats, an when we'd ended up he said, 'Say, Duffy, you don't mind my having been sharp with you in that blamed ice, do ye?' I up an slapped him on the back, an an swered, hearty like, 'Cap'n Dahls, I never served under a better cap'n than yourself.' "We shook hands, an his big voice was a bit husky when he blurted out:'; " 'Say nauthing 'bout it, ujy boy, I'm certain sure I never bed a more able seaman than you've showed to be.'" San Francisco Chronicle. ' New England's Exalting Influence. Comparing the oft asserted claims of New York to be "the. American literary center" with the? literary achievements of Boston, and tbe in fluence of the school of literature which grew up and was fostered there, Edward W.Eok writes in The Ladies' Home Journal : "No section has given our country stronger men ; no section is yet as marked or as strongly defined in its contribution to American manhood or woman hood of today as New England. She sends her people to the west, and centers Of cultivation spring up about them. She sends them to the northwest, to the southwest and to the Pacifies coast, and they at once make an impress upon the intellect ual life of the community in which they make their new homes. Such is the influence of Boston and of .New England that wherever ' her people go, there reading, a love of the arts, an understanding of the i sciences begin." On Mamma's Account. - . ! A thoughtful little person of 6 re marked suddenly at table the other day, "Mamma, I wish you were not married, but that just you and I and Charlie ; (her small brother) lived here together." : Her father, rather hurt at this proposed suppression of himself, asked reproaohfully, "Why, . don't you love papa?"
