The gold men are doubtless pretty well satisfied with the financial plank of the St, Louis; platform, which they dictated and is as, positive a declaration for eold as they could have expected.; There is ah attempt at a straddle where the reference Is made to "international agreement," and another bit ! of humbug' put in with the deliberate intention of fool: y tng bimetallists with the. pledge; to efadeavor ' to sdcure international agreement. , Take it as a whole, this plank is substantially, although id somewhat different phraseology, the plank of 1892, which " said as much both jdirectly and by implication as this bue does. , ' ' :-'r" !. ' The declaration of adherence to the gold standard, however, - has more significance now. than it had then, for then the issue wa; not so clean cut between gold monometal lism and the double standard as it is now, nor the demand so general or . emphatic for the free coinage of sil - ver at" the old ratio.' Then we had .silver coinage und.er the operation of ,the Sherman laW, a law which it was ;f. generally understood wou'ld be con tinued if ther Republican party re ' .mained in power, but the repeal of l' that law practically put a stop to the . coinage of silver and relegated it to the jraere commercial metals,; where it will remain if the candidates of the party which is to control our ' finan cial policies be elected on a platform containing this financial plank. It puts this country On as absolutely gold, basis as Oreat Britaia is, with no I possible hope for the double standard unless vthe people at the polls defeat the party that utters it. But it Ts more than a declaration for gold. It is substantially an an nouncement to the silver States of the West, ana to the bimetamsts in the Republican; party that the Re publican managers are relying upon .the votes of gold men and gold States' to elect their ticket and pro- ; pose to get along without the votes , of the silver States orof such bimet alli'sts as they can t humbug with the . fake pledge that the party will en deavor to secure; international agree .-, mentv- . :' S"vl The extent to: which the gold; men have strengthened their grip on the Repnblican party is shown by the . different tactics pursued now and in 1890, when to placate the silver States of the West and the bimetal- lists in the Republican party the i Republican ' statesmen, in T spired by John Sherman, who doubt r less had a, hand in framing this fi- nancial plank, passed the Sherman bill as a substitute for the Bland- - Allison bill which they repealed at the dictates of the gold, men.' . Ever ; since that day the power of the gold men over the Republican party has jT - increased, and the resul t is the ad vanced ; position in favor of gold - - taken in the platform of this year, and the almost contemptuous treat ment ol the silver States, which they then' showed such a desire to placate and keep within the party. ' ,. It is not difficult to see through this. The Republican managers have ' always been remarkable for the way ' in which they play politics, and the unscrupulous cunning t they show in humbugging the masses, and getting 4 the backing ot-'- the. money power, dollars 1 thev have found - mio-htv in their Dolitical . contests. With their declaration for the protec tive tariff they; expect to secure the active co-operation of the manurao turers wno aesire mure -pwm.v.mvi . and that co-operation means also the free contribution of money. By this declaration for the gold standard 'they ' are counting on securing the , votes of the gold men who think more of gold than they do of patty. the active co-operation of the money power wmcn , aisu um smonnt of money put aown to ujr through the ticket nominated upon the gold platform. This is the secret of this Dlatform, and this defiance of the sentiment of the silver States and Ind of the bimetallic masses. They J tUair hnriM on TUOneT are yasmjj "vr - t Gainst the people and ?wlth money they count on making the fight and winning. I The Republican leaders in this State have been coquetting with the PoDulists and trying to seduce them .into fusion under the pretence that the Republican party and Candidate Russell were for free silver. The Populists see noww here ithe Repub-: lican party stands and where the Reoublican party of North Carolina stands, unequivocally and empnai icallv committed to gold. This ought to end the fusion talk with any -DnHcr whn has tWO grains 01 mother wit. ' ' !; . .. The 1 free silver'advocates may be congratulated on the position taken by the St. Louis Convention on tnis question, for it clears away the fog and makes the issue a clearcut one between the single gold standard and the double standard, just what we wanted and just -'what we have heen fizhtlnz for. With such an issue the people know what they are vot ing for. ; MIBOB KEBTIOff. As a rule the gold organs try to the workine people of this country by calling their attention to the scale op wages in Japan, trying to create the impression that the low wages are the result of the sil ver standard which -prevails in that country. But there are some of them honest enough to admit that the silver money; of that country is not responsible for the , low wages." Speaking of "'this the Philadelphia Ledger, a strong pgold paper, can-1 didly says: "The pittance received by Japanese skilled and unskilled labor Is not due to the silver standi ard. The Oriental standard of liv ing is not comparable with that of American wage earners. The Japa-i nese could work for very much less than the American under any mone1- tary standard," This is a plain state ment of fact and it applies not only to Japan but to' China, . Mexico, In dia and such other countries as have been cited as frightful" warnings to the American wage earner. Wages, like everything else are governed by the law of supply ' and demand, and aJso,,; of course, by the sup ply of money, for where money is abundant the reward of labor will be more liberal. Although there has been a great industrial awakening in Japan there is a supply of - labor en tirely out- of proportion to the de mand for it, and while this isr the case wages will be low, for employ ers are not going to pay high wages if they can have work done for, low wages. That is business and in; this respect the Japanese employer does not differ from . the employer of other countries. High wages need not be expected in countries over-crowded with population, who have but little to do and are glad to work for any wages they can get. If the gold standard prevailed in that country wages would be still lower. - Watch the stock market now. We do not pose as a prophet, but let us see if the gold, men will not discover a marked improvement, a strengthen ing of "confidence " at home and abroad, as a result of the deliverance of the St. Lou;s platform makers on the financial question, and their de termination to stand 'by, the gold standard. This will be a part of the programme to influence popular sen timent with those who are so far not decided in their convictions one way or the other, and it will be kept up until after the meeting of the Chi cago Convention with the hope of in fluencing that to the adoption of a plank similar to that adopted at St. Louis. This I programme cad be played very easily by a combination between the Wall street manipulators and stock jobbers, who could afford to lose considerable money if they could accomplish their purpose. The plans of the manipulators embrace a good deal - more than platform de clarations. I If Judge Jackson, of Parkersburg, W. Va., is a sample, of the judiciary of that State, it is an eminently level headed body. He recently sent to an asylum a man who was tried "for the murder of his nephew and ac quitted on the: plea j of- insanity, although physicians who examined him after the verdict was rendered pronounced him of sound mind. The Judge thought the yerdict of the jury ought to ; stand in law - oyer, the opinion of an insanity expert; and l the murderer was crazy enough to murder bis j nephew he was crazy enough to go to an asylum. h 1 Typhoid fever is raging in the neighborhood of Trenton, S. C, Which reminds the Charleston News and Courier to suggest to those peo ple the advisability of boiling their dt Inking water. Good advice wheth- there be any -. typhoid .-' fever around or not.' The microbes should always be cooked before swallo wed.! I Canada does not jike England's clumsy currency system and wants to have the civilized American deci mal system adopted In place of Jt. It would be just like John Bull to in sist that thV Americans adopt his clowsy system,-. ; - attachments, and also to secure swallows .of the " town of Waco, ..Texas, have accompusnea something that entitles them to dis tinction. ; The English sparrow had about taken possession of the town hn ; thf swallows declared war against them, and after fights wtnen raged in; the heavens above ana on the earth below, cleaned the sparrows out and drove the last one of them out of town and then proceeded to destroy tne-sparrows' nests. - - They are finding many new uses for asbestos. Asbestos paqs are De. ing used in the hospitals now as a substitute for warm poultices, the warmth being supplied by electrjcity. Asbestos pads are also being used in shoes, as a protection against both heat and cold in addition to whicn they make the foot-gear more elas tic. With such shoes one may step on live wires with impunity. A Swedish inventor has invented a butter making apparatus which is called a radiator, which makes the butter directly from sterilized milk and does the work in one minute. It has been used successfully in that country for more than j six months, and U is said will revolutionize tne business" of butter-making. , The pen is mightier than the sword. More steel is used in the manufacture of ; pens than in the manufacture of swords, guns and needles! One firm in Birmingham, England, makes 150,000,000 pens a week, and women do nearly all the "work.

"The Powers" are talking about sending another protest to the Porte. The only protest the Porte will give a thought to must come in uniform and carrying a gun.

Growing crops' were laid on the ground and much dam age was done to property. The sad feature of the storm was the fright ful destruction of crops, principally cotton. - -No representation is ; equal to . the reality.. Fields of green, healthy, growing cotton were utterly destroyed, jand all the evidence of this that remains is hundreds of badly beaten stalks, entirely barren of leaves. The eye can rest on a field of cotton and not a leaf is visi ble anywhere. The area covered by the storm has not been ascertained, but the damage done crops so; far as is learned is estimated variously to be from $12,000 to $25,000. Saturday night lightning struck a large oak hear Mr. Crocker Dunn's place on the Louisburg road. The lightning entered a stable adjoining the oak, which was an extremely beautiful tree, killing two cows. ' The RALEIGH HAPPENINGS.

It was 10.80 when Cbairn,an Foraker called the full Committee .on. Resolutions together. The platform was read by paragraphs, the agreement being that each para graph should be voted upon Separately. The preamble' was objected to and the Dhraseology was ordered to be changed, so tnai r ine j wuiuiuis w y vf,.ay should be less Obscure, i . t , - Mr Teller, ot . oioraaoi arose sou td that he had -prepated a minotity rftnort on the financial plank, which he would present when the subjtct was rarhd. The-rematnder ol the plat form, he added, was entirely satisfactory to him. . The tariff plank was agreed to unanimously; So also was the sugar plank. , A strong declarajtion was made for a protective duty ; on wools and wnnilens. The protection of American riinhuildine and the developement of American commerce was also demanded. All of Mr. Teller s amendments to tne financial olank were voted down.: - There was a pathetic scene in the committee room when the financial nlank was reached snd Senator Teller, of Colorado, presented his minority re port. It took the form of a substitute and declared in general terms .for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Senator Teller spoke for thirty minutes. His utterances were followed with deep . interest, for all oresent realized that the hour i had ar rived when one ot the founders of the Reoublican party, a man who has been conspicuous in Republican councils for a third of a century, was taking a step which would seDarate him from his party friends! , . I Mr. Teller spoke with deep emotion and the sincerity of his purpose was so manifest that bis words produced a deep impression. ; He spoke of his long connection with the Republican party. It was the party ot his young manhood, the party, of bis choice. It was the party With which he had affiliated for thirty-five years. Jt was a party that had given him great honors and he bad served it loyally. "But," he exclaimed, in a voice of deep earnestness, "the time has. , come when I shall be obliged to leave it if it declares for the single gold standard. ; ' . He explained, in conclusion, that be had not originally intended to speak at such length, but that - be was carried awav bv the importance of his subject. It was ourelva matter of conscience and principle. There was no question of personal ambition involved. Time alone could tell whether he br the framers of this plank were right. Senator Lodge, of ? Massachusetts, ex plained that no choice was left to the committee bat toSdopt the plank in question: He expressed his high ap preciation of Mr. Teller, and stated his belief that he was acting from con scientious motives, but that the Repub licans had come to the parting of the ways, and that in separating from Mr. Teller and his associates, he wished to announce that they carried with them the full respect ot the committee. Mr. Cleveland, ot i Nevada, asserted that with such a plank his State could not be kept in the. Republican column Mr. Lemon, of California, said that the Western men had come here under the belief that the committee would be friendly to stiver. He explained his con nection with the last three "Republican campaigns in Californ'a; that they had done what thev could to Keep the bia'e in line, but the effect of this action would be to wipe out a Republican maj 3rity of 40 000 and make the State Democratic. :- Mr. Cannon, of Utah, like Mr. Teller, created a profound sentation by the earnestness of his remarks.- His voice was choked with emotion several times, and he proceeded with great difficulty., He pointed out that Utah had bsen con verted from a-DemocraticTerritory into a Republican State, -but that it woald be irretrievably lost if the party were com mitted to the gold standard. He bitterly deplored the necessity which compelled him to leave the party of his-choice, bat existing circumstances left him no alter native. Mr. Mott, of North Carpliha, asserted that he had gone into this campaign for McKmley believing that gentleman was friendly to silver. He had failed to find any utterance of McKinley's to the con trary. If Mr. McKmley was unfavorable -f to silver there was nothing in his record" to show it. i . i , Before a pfote was taken I oh Mr. Teller's 16 to Tsubstitute, Mr.Darling ton of Pennsylvania arose" and replied specifically to Senator-Teller's declara tion that the Republican party had fallen under the domination of Lombard and Wall streets. . . ! r' " THE CONVENTION was called to order at 10.45. three-quarters of an hoar behind time, when prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. W. G. Wil liams. - . " ; The report of the Committee on Per manent Organization was presented and read. It named Senator ). MThurston," of Nebraska, as chairman, made the sec retaries, sergeant-at-arms and other tem porary officers, permanent officers of the convention, and gave a list of vice presi dents, one from each btate, as agreed on by the delegation. i ; Senator Thurston took the chair amid tumultuous applause and addressed the convention. Oh motion of Gov. Bashnell, of Ohio, the convention then adjourned until 2 p. m. . It wes 2.45 when the chairman's (Mr. Thurston) hammer knocked for order and announced that the, afternoon ses sion would be opened with prayer by Bishop Arnett, of Wilberlotce College, Ohio. . - MfeMadden, of Chicago, was recog nized by the chair for a special purpose. Mr. Madden then, 10 appropriate terms, presented a gavel made from a portion of the house in, which Lincoln, once lived, v , The chairman, in accepting it, ex pressed the hope that the inspiration of the immortal Lincoln -might nil the hearts of the convention to higher pa triotism. , Jadge Penny, of Kentucky, presented a second gavel , made from the wood which formed part of the homestead of Henry Clay, the father of protection.' Th report of the Committee on Cre dentials was then presented, by its chair man Mr. Fort, of New Iersey. The re port was in favor of seating!; the Higgles delegates frcm Delaware, and the dele gates at large and delegates from Texas on the list beaded by John Grant. The rest of the report, read by the secretary, recommended that the roll of delegates and alternates of the convention from me several states ana territories, as prepared by the National Committee for the temporary organization, be ap proved as the permanent roll of this convention. U ine cnairman oi tne committee on Resolutions was recognized and reported a. . mat tne piatiorm wouia oe ready at 8 p. m. - Discussion was then commenced un der tbe previous question on the ma' jorlty and minority reports, each, side belee allowed twenty minutes. - Mr. Fprt, of New Jersey , opened the discussion.

Mr. Grosvenor moved to aajourn to 10 o'clock to morrow morning.' The chairman declared in favor of the ayes, and at 5 07 the convention adjourned accordingly. Notwithstanding the radical position assumed by the silver men, it Is notice able that only four Senaters Teller, Dubois and Cannon, and Mr. Cleveland, of Montana announced that they would leave the party. Two other members of the committee Hartman, of Mon tana, and Dr. Mott, of North Carolina- stated that they, were still Republicans ' and would stick to the party. When the convention adjourned un til to-morrow, instead of taking a recess till 8 p. m., as it expected to do, in order to hear tbe report of the Committee on Resolutions, which it was stated would be ready by that hour, rumors were cir-. culated in tbe convention hall that this course had been taken because several States had threatened to bolt because oi the financial plank. Investigation failed to disclose any foundation for this ru- mor. The voteof 545 to 859 by which the -convention at the1 bidding cf the Credentials Committee refused to re open any contested cases, settled by tbe National Convention, clearly i showed ; that the Ohio leaders had the conven tion well in hand even in matters Where many of the delegates felt a strong per-" v sonal interest. ( Mr Dubois, of Idaho, also announced that he would follow his associates. Messrs. Teller and Cannon, in leaving the ; party, although be regretted, that necessity compelled him to take this step.. He spoke at some length of iheW. loyalty Of the extreme Western States l to the Republican party. Each has now two Republicans in the Senate, but the . ' same could not 'be said of many of the ,. Eastern States, whose representatives were adopting a course that was driving the silver men from their party as"so ciates. He showed that New York was represented in the Senate by two Demo crats, that Indiana has two and Ohio and Illinois one : each. If this told plank was adopted, the Republican nartv would, he said, lose control of the Senate and not regain it in a. quarter cf . 1 Wa a rentniv. : . , .7 Mr. Hartman, ot Montana, poldly an nounced that he could not and would not support a candidate standing oath's platform.

The Piatt men in the New York delegation don't agree in itbeir- conclusions respecting Gov. Morton's chance. Mr. Lauterbach figures that after tbe silver men shall have bolted tbe convention, to which the exact number of delegates, remaining will be 884, cf whom 445 are necessiry- to a choice.
