We have been confidently assured by the gold staudard organs that the silver question is settled and will be no longer an issue in our politics, but they are not all quite sure of that, for since the expansion policy has been entered upon some of the gold staudard organs which are opposed to it warn the expan sionists that the silver question is not dead only sleeping, and that expansion may wake it up and niake it very troublesome. This is one or tne arguments cnai some oi them use in opposition to the an nexation of the Philippines. The Boston Advertiser, which is one of these, in discussing the Philippine question, says: "The money to which such of the inhabitants of the Philippiaes as are civilized enough to know the meaning and use of money are accus tomed is depreciated silver coin and still more depreciated paper based on such coin. The same instinct which led M-. Bryan to visit Mexico in order to find aid and comfort there for his free silver theories will quickly sug gestlo him and his supporters, in spite of their monetary attitude of opposi tion to imperialism, that their cause can be immensely strengthened, in case the Philippines are annexed to the United States, by setting help among those new Americans to reduce the money standard of the rest of the United States to the Malay basis." The meaning of this is that the advocate of free silver should be an expansionist. It is also an admission that the more our trade relations in crease with the people of the far rEast the greater the demand will become for silver. The n-ospective increase in the" trade is one of the argimnts made for the annexation of thos? islands even Ly the gold standard organs, while it is also one of the reasons why it is favored by some free silver men who, were it not for this, wouldn't give a conti nental for the whole group. .We thus find gold standard men and free silver men agreeing practically as to the result of annexation with out verbally admitting the agree ment. But the opponents of expansion who warn its gold standard advo cates that it may revive and strengthen the free silver agitation have good ground to go on. There are on those islands at the least enumeration 7,000,000 of people, while some put the figures at double that. One of the arga ments for the acquisition of the islands is that under the impetus of American enterprise there would be an immense development of the rich resources of these islands result ing in considerable accessions to the population from r?ther countries, and a great increase in their trade. With the increased development, and the more general employment of the people at higher wages than they now receive they would be able to buy and pay for more than they now can afford to buy, and therefore there would be a largely increased demand for our manufactures, such as they use. These are and always have been a silver-using people. It is about the only money the people at least the wage earners handle and the only one they practically know anything abont. There are at the lowest estimate 7,000,000 of these people. They will require a good deal of silver money, and we must supply it with onr own coin, or with the coin of some other na tions. Of course business sense would suggest supplying it with onr own." Another argument for annexation is that having possession ofthose islands gives us strong vantage ground from which to build up onr trade in other countries of the East, which is doubtle&a tine, and another Is that it will necess tate and expe--Mlitethe construction of the Isthmian canal, and that this will add im- menselj to the volume of our Eastern trade because it trill so materially shorten the distance and reduce ths eost of transportation to the other side of the Pacific. Whether all this be realized or not the fact remains that silver is the money of the many millions of peo ple on that side of the globe and the paople who expect to carry on com merce with them and compete with other nations must accept this fact and act upon it. That this is the view taken of it by others who ace tho question from simply a monetary standpoint and are not especially interested in the free coinage of American silver, and that they agree substantially with the Bostov. Advertiser is shown by tho following letter of Sir Moretou Fre wen, the financial expert and great free silver advocate ot England. In a recent letter to Gen. C. H. How ard, editor of the Farm, Field and Fireside, he says: My Dear Gen. Howard Thank you for vo ir letter of November 24ih. I recall with much pleasure the occa sious when we met during the ititer- estiaz days of 1S96. That the "silver question is dead" I am assured bv a uumberof respectable gentleman who hail mostly from Hie neighborhood or Indianapolis. Be it so! Le roi est mort. vive le roi, and were silverasdead as Julius L:ear. the course of events uu n the Pacific coast would alone resurrect it as the leading issue, during ihe next few years. What about Hawaii, tne Philippines and more important still to all your r.icihc coast industries, what about th'.i development of railways, of thai cast anthracite coal field in the prov ince of Shansi? Your trade with east ern Asia is now going to expand with " leaps and bounds;" you are about to sell to my raids whose exports will b bonused and stimulated by every fall i:i Hie exchange that is to say, by every fall in the gold price of silver. "How, for example, can O'.io sell r ailsaud hardware to theTransMissouri s:at-s in competition witu exports from Snansi to San Francisco, the product of Chinese labor at 4 pence a Jay (gold) tnat labor cost being even now reduced to 2 pence (four cents) :y.he fall in the bullion price of ilver ? "Silver is dead." is it? Why, my dear general, it has never yet been really alive. Wait until you all become familiar with the "yellow peril," nor will you have long, I think to wait. At a ree-mt meeting of the Shanghai chamber of commerce seven resolutions were passed; of which the sixth reads as follows: That in due course the products of Asiatic, cheap labor will prove far more injurious to the interest of the wage-earning classes in gold standard countries than the presence of Chineese coolies; and that unless silver is re monetized, protective measure will hve to be adopted to exclude from old standard countries not Oriental labores only, but all those m tnufac lurers also which are subsidized by premiums. I believe your present times, so good by comparison with those terrible Cleveland days, will make men not indtferent as to this great, problem this cloud across the Pacific but on the contrary, it will make men- more throusrhful their silver money to my raids of Asiatics at half price, and pernaps later at even quarter price ibis is not a policy whicn 'any party can permanently tie to. And yet this is the erold standard policy. Yours very faithfully, Moreton Frewen If dollar wheat continued, money become abundant aud agr cultural interests pr isperous the agricultural States might be satisfied and I it the agitation of the money ouestion alone, for people who are prospering rarely agitate, but let a reverse come, 'let low-priced wheat, low- priced other farm proluer a3 we now brave low-priced wheat and i - t i i .i i iuw-priceu coiton, oecome tne rule is it has been nstead of the excep tion and we will again see the silver revival and when it is revived it will be strengthened by the taking in of these m llions of Pacific islanders, whose principal money is silver. If the Boston. Advertiser is really alarmed it has grounds for bei ng so. VOTE Iff THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. Tiie Secretary of St ite has com pleted tho canvass of the vote cast at the last election. The result has not yet been officially declared but in the congressional districts it is" as follows, omitting the candidates who received a few scattering votes: In the First District John H. ?s .nail, Democrat, has a majority of l,4t2 over Harry Skinner, Fusion Populist. In the Second District George H. White, (negro) Republican, has a majoritv of 2,620 over Wm. E. Fountain, Democrat. In the Third District Charles R. Thomas. Democrat, has a majority of 189 over John E. Fowler, Fusion Populist ' In the Fourth District John W. Atwater, Ind. Populist (supported by the Democrats) has a majority of 838 over Joseph Jenkins, Fusion Popnli3t. In the Fifth District Wm. W. Kitchen, Democrat, has a majority of 2,242 over Spencer B. Adams, Fusion Republican. In the Sixth District John D. Bellamy, Democrat, has a maj rity of 5,S53 over Oliver H. Dockery, Fusion Republican. In the Seventh,District Theodore Kluttz, Democrat, has a majority of 6,102 over M. H. Caldwell, Fusion Populist. In the Eighth District Romulus Z. Linney, Fusion Republican, has a majority of 1,250 over Edward F. Lovell, Democrat. In the Ninth District Wm.. D. Crawford, Democrat, lias a majority of 238 over Richmond Pearson, Re publican. There were straight Populist can didates running in only three dis tricts the first, second and ninth. In the first district Joshua L. Whed bee received 97-votes, in the second James B. Lloyd received 2,227, in the ninth district George E. Boggs received 93, giving a total of 2,417 votes in the aggregate congressional voU for the whole State. MILITAEY GOVERNMENT. General Miles favors an increase of the regular army to 75,000 men, while Secretary Alger and tho Presi dent would increase it to 100,000. Why this great increase from 25,000 to 75,000 or 100,000 ? We certainly' do not need an army three or four times as large as we ever had to assert the authority of the United States at home, to keep the Indians in check, or to suppress labor troubles or insurrections. It would be acknowledging too much acknowledge that, for it would be acknowledging that this ftoverntm-nt was ceasing to be one to wlfu'i cheerful obediencu was given, and wa3 becoming a Government which, like the monarchies of the old world, depended upon its bayonets for the respect shown its authority. But it is not that. There is "no need for such a standing army for home service. It is the expansion policy which makes such an army or any one approximating it in num bers necessary. This inoiv iso m - ins that we must depend on military government in our accessions, which also means that one of our cardinal doctrines, that government derives the right to govern from t'le con sent of the people, is thrown to the winds. This revolutionizes our government and makes it a com'pi site institution a Republic an I military despotism, a Republic for the States, a despotism for the new ly acquired territory. How long the Republic and the despotism can re main dovetailed without materially affecting the Republic reamaius to be seen. If such an army bo necessary to maintain our authority in the islands acquired, will thoy not prove a pretty costly investment? It will take a good many millions of dollars to equip and keep up an army like that, and this is not for one year or two years, but as a reg- ar and continuous thing. A small standing army was one ot the things on which we plumed our selves in contrast with the govern ments which found it necessary to keep up great standing armies, but expansion puts an end to that and puts us practically on the same plane with the bayonet-supported governments.

TT 1 y-f . 7 T 7" TTT Henderson iroia ieaj: hear it said frequently that farming does not pay. That depends upon how the farmi ng is carried on. The one crop system does not pay, nor does the policy of cultivating two or three acres of land to get what one acre should be made to produce. But farm ing such as that reported by J. W. Beck pays even at the prevailing low prices of cotton. He tells us that on 0 acres of land this year he made 10 bales of cotton averaging 450 pounds each. Mr. Beck, is not a practical far mer either. That is to say, farming is not his business. It will Kurprlse you try It. It is the mediciDe above all other for catarrh and is worth its weight in gold.

What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans. As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be mucn greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are broujjht promi nently before the public both are cer tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occa tiona.Iy take up with some fashion able novelty put forth with exagger ated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Cham berlain's Cough Remedy.

The fact that Spain has agreed to accept President McKjn ley's offjrof $20,000,000 for the rigTit to appoint policemen and other officials in the Philippines will not stop the opposition of men like Sen ator Hoar to the ratification of any treaty to carry that arrangement into effect. Hartford Times, Ind. A man named Lasar was convicted jthe other day in New York of having smuggled 52,C00 worth of diamonds into the country, and the government calmly confis cated the whole lot. We dare say Mr. Diugey will not fail to use this as an argument in favor of tho rev eu ue-producing quality of his la mented bill. Norfolk Landmark, Dan. The Chinese Minister at Washington has appealed to our Government not to enforce the Chinese Exclusion act in Philippines. The appeal does not seem to be nec essary. In so far as the trade of the Philippines is concerned the Chiuese merchants have already cap tured it, and they are more likely in the long run to exclude the Yankee than to be excluded by him.

As my horse, pufung like a porpoise, drew me and my buckbqard up the last sharp acclivity of the mountain road that led out into the pass between the summits rising on either hand he would have exercised his privilege and stopped a moment to blow, but. 100 yards ahead of us I saw a bright bit of calico gleam ing in the morning sun, and, driving on, I came tip to a buxom mountain maid Bitting on a stump at a point where' a footpath leading up from the valley met the main road. "Good mornihl" she said before I had a chance to stop, and there seemed to be an anxious tone m the voice. "Good morning," I responded, and J was on the point of asking her how far it was to tho nest place, a favorite man ner of starting a conversation on moun tain roads, when she broke m.

" Washington Star. . ABOUT THE WEATHER. Mr. Wlngleby Explains to Georgio About tho Seasons. "You see, Georgie, " said Mr. Win- clebv. whoso youthful f-:on had asked him how wo ramo to havo different kinds of weather, "tho weather is put up in tin can?, a day's weather to a can, and usually they pnt up about a year's supply ahead, enough to last through a spring, summer, autumn and winter. In filling the cans they sort it all out as well as possible. Sometimes when they get a can full there may bo a little left over, and whatever remains in this way they throw into ono lot. When they've got pretty nearly all the cans full and the regular stock of weath er has run out, they fill up fn;m that lot of odds and ends. Tho caus so' filled contaiu what is called variable we ather, becauso it's mixed, but most ' of iho weather they get pretty well sorted out according to the season. "When they've got all tho cans filled, v they stack 'em up where they'll be handy to get at, and there's a man that does nothing but open them. Everyday he cuts a can and pours out the weather for that day, and of course a great deal depends upon him. Sometimes this man. gets careless and pulls down a lot of ;tho wrong cans, getting them, say, from 'tho July shelf in the month of; April and likely as not getting down a week's supply at once, so as to "have them handy on the opening table. Of course he dis covers his mistake the first dan he opens, but ho is too lazy to put the, rest back, and so ho keeps on then until he has opened them all, and that's 'how it comes about, as it sometimes does, that wo get a hot spell at a season when wo ought to have nothing but cool weather. "But of course those April cans are not lost. They must be around some where, and we get 'em later. Maybe the man will sprinkle them along with the hope that we won't notice them much, but as likely as not he opens them one after another together, maybe after some terribly hot fpell in July or August, when they are sure to be a blessed relief, and if he does this we aro pretty apt to forgive him his mistake in April."

"Army life is informal to a degree," 'said Mrs. CuiJIer, during a recent inter view. "ThecustomOf using cards when calling is ' only of very recent date among officers' wives. When I lived in garrison, we should never have dreamed of such a thing. It is only nt a fflw of the larger posts, near the cities, where there is anything like the formality of civio life. The peoplo in a garrison aro like one gTeat family. Nothing that deeply concerns any member is a matter of indifference to the others, and the spjrit of good fellowship is universal. In time of sickness the friendly helpful ness of tho womou for each other is shown Btrongly.
