BY Wilful A A a. tmtt.RA.RD Satuboat Moarara. AuordT 2. HK DIDH'T XSHTIOH FREE SILVXE. Some time ago in writing upon the issues which will be foremost in the next campaign we remarked that the silver question would not be one of them and that this was practically admitted by Wm. J. Bryaa. As proof of this we cited the fact that in all the recent inter views with him or in his published utterances, when referring to the money question, he invariably uses the word "money" and never silTer. As proof of the correctness of our assertion we quote the following from an interview with Senator Car mack, who had just returned to Washington from the New England tour in which he accompanied and spoke with Mr. Bryan. After speak- mg oi the strong noia mat mr. Bryan has on the Democracy of New England and the cordiality and en thusiasm with which he was every where received, he was asked if Mr. Bryan declared for the Kansas City platform or reiterated his views on free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, when he replied: 'There is not a word of truth in any such report or rumor. Mr. Bryan re ferred only once to the money question, and that was when he criti cised the Fowler bili, just as it had been criticised by Democrats in the last session of the present congress. "I was with him wherever he spoke in New England and heard his speech es throughout, and he did not use the words 'Tree silver nr 16 to 1, not did he directly nor indirectly make any reference to such plank or declaration in any Democratic platform. "His speeches, contrary to the re ports in question, were entirely con tent with his private conversations with me in which on that subject he agreed that free silver coinage was now a dead issue." We have read a dozen or so inter views with or quotations from utter ances by Mr. Bryan within the past few months, and if he ever used the word "silver" or said anything about coinage and ratio it has escaped our attention. If Senator Cannack is correctly quoted in the above ex tract it shows where Mr. Bryan now stands on that question, and that he accepts the fact that free silver at any ratio has ceased, for the present at least, to be an issue. But this is not saying that it may not again be come an issue. He insists that the "money ques tion" is still an issue, although it is overshadowed by other issnes just now, and in that he is right, for the money question will never cease to be an issue until it is settled, and settled right that is, in such a way as to provide the people of the country with an ample volnme of currency, a volume that will be ample at all times, and one that cannot be controlled and ex panded or contracted by the manip ulation of a few big banks or money speculators. We have a great deal of gold in the country now and about 500,000,000 of it lying in the Treas nry. There is no special demand for it anywhere, and consequently it is not being hoarded for speculation; but let a demand arise for it that would make It profitable to export it and it would be immediately with drawn from circulation and be ship ped by the million to meet that de mand. Where would the ample vol nme of currency be then ? With the present and prospective production of gold it will not be very many years before that metal will be more abundant than silver, when it will depend for its value on the gov ernment stamp it bears, just as silver coin now does. Too great production and consequent fall in value was the objection to silver and the cause of the movement to relegate it as a standard money. If this was a good argument against the coinage of silver why will it not be an equally good argument against gold? These are not issues in poli tics now, but they are not settled questions by any means. They are held in abeyance for the present simply for the reason that there are other questions in which the people are more directly interested and to which they give more thought. If Mr. Bryan, with all his. popu larity, the hold he has on the masses of the Democracy through out the country, and his captivating eloquence, were to start out on a free silver speaking tour he wouldn't draw a tenth of the people to hear him that flocked to the towns in ties? That is neither good politics nor good sense. It is not the way to win victories, but to invite de feat, and we have had enough of that to satisfy any Democrat who does not enjoy being rnn over. We can uever do anything with the money question, the tariff question, the trust question or any other I question until we get into power, and we can never get into power until we get together and make our fight on live issnes in which the peo ple are interested. THE RIGHT OF SELF PROTEC TION The indications and probabilities are that the recent rioting in Shen andoah, Pennsylvania, although much exaggerated, broke the back of the strike and that work may soon be resumed in the mines. The presence of soldiers will prevent se rious interference with miners who may go to work, and when some of the mines are operated it will be useless for the miners who were em ployed in other mines to continue the strike. This strike which was of such large proportions, and threatened to be much larger, following so many others, has caused a great deal of discussion as to some way to protect the public, which in the end is the greatest sufferer from them. The mine owners have rights, the miners have rights, and so has the public rights which never seem to be considered. The public which protects both mine operator and miner, and stands between them as the conservator of the 'peace when violence breaks ont, is entitled to its supplies of coal, which are a ne cessity and should not be taxed from twenty-five to fifty per cent, more or cut off altogether, because operator and miner can't or will not agree and therefore the mines are closed either voluntarily by the operator or by the miners who refuses to work and will not permit other other men to work. This is all wrong and there should be some way to prevent it for the public good. We have suggested in these col umns that, while there may be no such law now, there should be laws in cases of this kind when operators and miners cannot or will not agree, and as a result operations are sus pended, empowering the State to take temporary possession of the mines and keepthem running until the operators and miners came to an agreement. This would be better than appealing to the courts for in junctions and calling on sheriff's posses to enforce the injunctions. In recently discussing this question David A. Curtis of New York, sug gested something on the same line in the following: j ''It would be foolish to maintain that the miners can be driven to work or that the owners cao be compelled to operate ua mines. " A GOOD BIQV. The large attendance and the in terest shown in the Democratic county conventions so far held in the State is a good sign, and "it may be incidentally remarked that the large number of candidates in some of the counties and the warm con tests oyer nominations in some of them is another pretty good sign, for, generally speaking, when the issue is doubtful the number of can didates for ofieoe is proportionately small. While, as we have remarked, there were warm contests over the nominations in some counties the defeated have accepted their defeats loyally, with good grace, and we have not seen any evidences of sulk ing, kicking or running "independ ent," which were some of the things the Republican managers hoped to see and which they were pre pared to help along to the best of their ability by offers of co-operation and Republican support. Buncombe county is-the only one, so far re ported, in which that game has been tried, and it does not seem to have been a harmonious success there, for it started a big insurrection among the Republicans who were frozen out by the deal and had an -eye on some of the pie for themselves. We don't think this will be a good year for dickering because the Dem ocrats are united, they understand the Republican programme and they do not propose to let Pritchard & Co. get control of the State with the thimble-rig game they hope to play. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. TEARING PASSING IT. ON. CURRhNl COMMENT. Bathbone seems to have an idea that what this country is look ing for how is to hear a pardoned convict express his opinions of Cu ba. "Nobody can feel safe," he 'Bat what could be done under the doctrine of 'eminent domain would be for the public to assert its right to a full coal supply. If the 'owners' of the land do not mine their coal, and if the miners remain idle, the coal should be taken bv agents of the public and brought to market "This is not socialism. It might, with equal propriety, .be called despot ism, but it is neither one nor the other. It is a practical application of the maxim that 'one man's rights end where another man's rights begin. 'The details of such action would undoubtedly be difficult of adjust ment. To carry It out would be as difficult as it is to convict a murderer perhaps more so but the principle is sound and should be applied." The coal companies which hold charters under State laws, and are protected by the State, owe obliga tions to the public, and should be required to keep the public supplied with coal just as a water or gas com pany is required to supply the pub lic, which pays for them, with water or light, and they should be required to discharge these obligations. If they can't or will not do so then the State shonld step in, in the interest of the people, and do it for them. says, "in formulating a prediction of any kind as to what the future has in store for Cuba." Bnt every body can feel safe in formulating the prediction that, like the legend ary apple core, there ain't goin' to be no future for Cuba if the Rathbones getjtheir grip on the island. Lou isville Courier-Journal, Dem. . The politician ont of a job has cause to be thankful that St. Louis decided to celebrate the cen tennial of the Louisiana purchase. Of the nine commissioners appointed by the Government six have been given to professional politicians who failed of re-election. Those who did not find a place on the Louisiana purchase commission may still hope, for there are three places on the isthmian canal commission were the appointment is not ham pered by the requirement of pro fessional skill. Jacksonville Times - Union, Dem, One sample of the beautiful working of the republican tariff and an evidence that the democrats have a magnificent oportunity for a vital issue here, is shown by Chairman Griggs of the national democratic congressional committee. Type writers for which Americans are charged $100 are sold abroad for $55 In other words, the infant in dustry representing more than $100, 000,000 is voted a profit by law in the home market of $45 on each of the machines it makes.

Mount Airy News: The re ports from different parts of the county are very encouraging and indicate an abundant corn crop. Wheat fell short, but corn. will be over an average crop. Washington Progress: In the Ohooowinity section of the county forest fires have done much damage. We learn that over ten quare mile of fine timbered lands has been ruined. The timber was largely owned by the Beaufort County Lumber Company and the D. C Way Lumber Company. Newton Enterprise'. The farm ers are turning their land for anothe r wheat crop. The rains have put the land in eondltlion for plowing. There appears to be aome kind of a di sease among the horses of this county. Mr. Geo. Bollok lost a good one Mon day night and he tells us that Mr. Leroy Little, Mr. Pink L. Yount and two other men near Hickory have lost valuable horses within a week. Winston Journal'. In conversa tion this morning with a gentleman, who is Interested in the proposed High Point-Winston electric railway line, he stated that it was the opinion of those who have projected the enter- Erise that the line would certainly be uilt at an early date. He added that arrangements were rapidly being made io inn eno, aitnougn it is not know when work on the proposed line will begin. Washington Messenger'. We ven ture the assertion that Beaufort coun ty has a citizen whose counterpart cannot be found in the State. He is past seventy years of age, has been married more than forty years, has an interesting family of children and says he never kissed one of his children or his wife in his life, and that kissing is more productive of meanness than any one thing. He is a model father and husband, and one of the most success ful all-round farmers in the county. Stanley Enterprise: Tuesday nisrht the store of Messrs. Palmer and Ooggin, at Palmerville, was destroyed by fire. Mr. Ooggin left the store about 9 o'clock, and the village was quiet when the alarm was sounded. The fire gained a heavy headway before the slumbering village could be aroused and both building and roods went no in flames. The stock inventoried in May $2,600. Since then new goods have been added, and $600 worth of unopened goods that were burned made the total more than $3,000. It is cov ered by 3,uoo insurance. Raleigh News and Observer : Nine new rural delivery routes have been added to the number in this State, from the Rocky Mount section, in Hon. Olaude Kltchin's district. This makes forty-nine new routes for July, and increases the total number of routes in the State to 164. This means the disbursement bv the Na tional Government of $100,000 for carriers alone in North Carolina . All of this money goes through the Ra leigh office for Postmaster Bailey sends a check to each carrier every month. Postmaster Bailey says that he is con fident the number of rural free deliv ery routes will reach 250 by the first of January next. This will mean a carrier pay roll of $160,000 a year.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Utory of a Chleagro Lawret mnd th Bogu Quarter. "Somebody had stuck me with a bo gus quarter," said -the Chicago lawyer, "and I no sooner discovered it than I grimly determined to return it tit for tat. It was small business, I admit, but I was more anxious to stick some one else in return than I have ever been over winning a verdict for a client. I finally decided to work it off on a street car conductor, and I spent a full hour before I left the office in working up an Innocent look for the occasion. It so happened that he was rushed when he took my fare, and he grabbed at the quarter and returned two dimes. I chuckled to myself for an hour after ward, but then conscience began to up braid me. I thought of the poor man's wages being docked or he perhaps be ing discharged and of my own mean action, and, though I was stricken, I didn't rush off next morning. In fact, I dreaded to meet the poor man and confess, and I kept clear of him for a week. Conscience got too much for me at last, however, and I boarded his car and put on a smile and said: " 'See here, old man. I owe you one.' " 'How's that?" he asked. M 'I think I passed a bogus quarter on you one day about a week ago, and .now I want to make it good.' " 'Oh, you needn't worry about that,' be smilingly Teplled. 'Yes, I remember the incident, and I'm sure I gave you back two bogus dimes and worked the quarter off on a woman who got a dol lar bill Changed.; " M. QUAD. commercial; WILMINGTON MARK ET WJ" Aug.

One would hardly think that a lit tle child would venture to play with young lions, yet there is a child in Turin, Italy, who plays with them as fearlessly as another child does with a favorite dog. This child is Ettore Cesa, and he is the youngest son of a prominent business mail. It happened that two lions were born last December in Turin, and A West Virginia preacher, who has staited on a missionary tour in South America, has as a part of his equipment a new rapid fire gun, which it is said will fire 900 rounds a minute.

One morning little Bel was sent by her mamma to the "button store" to match a spool of 6ilk. She had often been trusted on such er rands, though only four years old, and very proud she used to feel as she trudged along, "helping mamma." "Be sure and get just that shade of blue and come right back, little daughter," said mamma as she kiss ed her goodby. "Yes, ma'am," was the sturdy an swer. Now, on the way to the button 6tore there was a fruit stand, and Bel often used to look at it with longing eyes. This morning she saw something she had not seen for a longj time great, beautiful red bananas. If Bel liked anything in the wrld, it was a banana. She wondered how much they would cost. Then she thought she would ask. "Five cents." Why, she had just 5 cents in her fat fingers that very minute! Before you coul4 think 6he hadn't 5 cents at all, but had the banana instead. , Do you think she went right home ? Not she. She marched straight to the button store and, standing on tiptoe, reached her sample above the counter, saying ; "My mother wants a spool of silk like this." The lady smiled downv at the mite, matched the silk carefully and banned it to her. "Fank you," said Bel. She never forgets her manners. 4iBut, little girl," called the lady, "didn't your mamma send any mon ey for the silk?'' "Yes'm, but I buyed a banana." And before the lady could stop laughing she was on the street, hur rying home. Doll's Dressmaker. Rush For Public Office.

A curious find has Just been made at Samrishamn. in Sweden. At low water a sailor qi.scQyered among the stones on the beach of Massakas bay there a teaspoon of brass. After cleaning it . he found engraved on the inside the picture of a man-of-war, with the words "Maine" and "6,600 tons." The spoon would therefore appear to have belonged to the ill fated Maine, sunk in Ha vana harbor in the spring j1898, ana 11 neeaea tour years for the. ocean currents to wash this tiny ob ject ashore on the coast of southern Sweden. ' . His Great Exoerlence. The craze for "young ' men is got o such a stage that "advertisements, for help read as follows: ffWanted. "Young man, not over twentyfivey of great experience! permanent m- ployment to right party." Such a youth must have got Ms "ffreat . perience" through metempsychosis. He must be the reincarnation of some departed captain, of industry. New York Press. Receipts et Naval Stares and Cotton Yesterday. O. O.
