SEPTEMBER 3. 1897. Says the Statesville Landmark: "Let the candidates of the Demo cratic party, from the highest to the lowest, next year stand on every plank of the Chicago platform, if they will: but there can be no free coinage of sil ver while McKinley is in the presiden tial chair, and everybody knows it." Hut do. we know it? McKinley has de clared for free silver fully as often as he has declared against it, and a com mission appointed by him is at this mo ment waJidering over the face of the earth endeavoring to get the other na tions to say they will appoint delegates to a monetary conference to discuss an international, ratio and the free coin age of silver on some, basis or: another. ". . . . and the fraternity ought al ways to remember with gratitude that l'resftlent McKinley. on his recent tom of the South, when it was said that the reporters who were with him could not go upon the Vanderbilt property, re plied that then he would ntt go either. Charlotte Observer. Entrance to the Vanderbilt property that is, the grounds was never re fused to the newspaper men of the par ty mentioned. They were refused, for a time, entrance to the private house of Ceo. W. Vanderbilt. Finally the Pres ident of the United States put his foot dow n, and the doors were opened, per force. Hut why newspaper men should be proud of an entrance effected to a man's private rooms in that way has puzzled us ever since. Senator Judge- Funny place, Raleigh. evening there Senator Judge . Major The other called on was be- hind a gate post and saw benator , and the with Judge , thought of Senator and Judge j being in close communion was ; so astonishing to him that he at once telephoned Editor . In this way the tremendous fact of Senator having called on Judge became known, and while all Raleigh trembled with little spasms of excitement. Col. w rote aliout the visit to out of town papers . That brought out a col umn of explanation from Judge , who said that Major got out of a bath tub (of which there are two in Raleigh) to telephone Editor of the fact of the visit. To this there was a retort by Col. , the newspaper correspondent; also a column and a half by the Major who was behind the gate post (how ever, he says he was not) and had his own view of the marvelous visit. Then Col. came out with a letter cor recting his first letter, and now there is good fighting along the whole line, while the Editor says: "Col. has a card in today's paper. Newspaper readers hope that Senator will not call on Judge again svon, or that, if he calls. the fact will not be published. It takes tH much space to tell about it or what different folks think about it." We have suppressed the names be cause we do not propose to be drawn into this maelstrom of retort and re buttal and sur-rebuttal. But as we said in the beginning, Raleigh is a funny place. Probably no where else on earth would the fact that one gentle man had called on another of opposite political faith become the subject of several columns of newspaper com ment. The Brown University Case. The attempt to remove President An drews of Brown University because of his pro-silver views seems likely to succeed, but only because he has made arrangements, as we understand, to do other college work. The trustees have asked him t withdraw his resignation becoming conviriced, apparently, that Brown University would suffer more by tiis resignation in the face of the gen eral knowledge that it would be at the dictation of intolerant millionaire patrons, than to continue as president even though he may le that awful monster, a believer' in bimetallism. A few gotd men saw this clearly. Ex Secretary Olney wrote a strong letter of protest against the acceptance of the resignation, and Olney is a gold man of the strictest sect. It will be interesting to- note the con turtions of the gold organs who have been denouncing President Andrews as a repudiator of debts and as a believer in "42 cent d liars." It was alleged by them that the rentention of Presl dent Andrews would be an immoral act, because the free coinage of silver would be immoral. Will they now turn and denounce ex-Secretary Olney and the trustees for inviting President An drews to retain his place at the head if Brown University? The chief leader in this crusade against President Andrews was a Ite publican Congressman, Walker of Massachusetts. Like his party though pledged to promote bimetallism he is for the appreciating dollar at w hatever cost to truth and manliness. Finally, we welcome the trustees' ac tion. It puts the seal of approval of one of our largest universities on free dom of thought and speech, and it does that under such a pressure to do the contrary as called for a clecr percep tU n of what the dictation gi money would mean. Truth has won a victory over intolerance, whether President Andrew s goes or stays. ANTI-NEGRO. Republicans Drive the Colored Man Out of Mitchell. Bakersville, N. C, cor. Asheville Regis ter. Along the border of Mitchell county, near the Tennessee and North Carolina line, is the precinct of Big Rock creek, with probably 250 voters in it. As good citizens as live in this hospita hie county are withn its borders, but there are 25 or 50 men, desperate char acters, who have gven this part of the county a very bad name . Notwith standing it is strongly Republican in politics, a negro is not allowed to live within its precincts. A BABY AND A SKUNK. Such Things as Amuse the Idlers at Blowing Rock. GREEN PARK, Aug. 30. Green Park hotel is situated about a quarter of a mite from the Blowing Rock proper. In front of the hotel, on an elevation of over 1000 feet, two beautiful cottages are built one belonging to F. B. Mc Dowell of Charlotte, and the other is now occupied by Henry Clark of York- ville, S. C. It was at the latter cot tage that the sensation of the day be an. Early in the morning a young man of the cottage came down to the hotel to secure the services of a mountaineer and his -og to kill a skunk. The hotel guests became greatly excited. So a large party started to see the fun. The dog secured was a common country cur, with a fierce-looking face. The party consisted of a miner, a doctor, everal ladies and a newspaper re porter. When at the place the dog was turn- td under the house, where the skunk or polecat had been seen last. At once the dog's bristles went up and he be gan to whine. Quicker than thought the loud little animal ran out near the di g and was caught. By this time the house was full of ieople, and they were just above the dog and cat. The dog growled and the house was at once deluged with a most fearful odor. In every direction the eager and anx ious women took to the woods. They went in a run with their handkerchiefs lo their noses. The dog killed the cat. This 'afternoon, when all was quiet and calm about the cottages and the hotel, a scream pierced the air in the direction of the cottage. The hotel porch was filled with quartettes play ing whist and the like. The cry was hat of a woman in distress. She said: '"trave the child! At the same moment a. dozen voices from the house chimed in. The voice of a lady on the hotel porch cried: "Save the baby!" All eyes turned to the cottage, and a :aby caniage was seen coming down the hill at a tenific gait. The little white bonnet could be seen bobbing up ind down as the carriage rode rough shod over the ridges and rocks. Down the little carriage came like the wind. A female voice from the woods, loud and shrill, rent the air: "Run, save the baby! She was crying to her husband who sat reading to her beneath the hade trees near by, w hen the carriage passed. The man made a dash for the fleeing vehicle and his wife light after him. liy tnis time tne notel crowd was running out. Everybody was chasing the carnage. The gallant hero that . came from the woods captured the unaway, which proved to be nothing nore than a false baby in the carriage. was a joke. It may have been some- hat cruel, but it was perfectly car ted out. Three or four young gallants made desperate strides from the hotel up the mountain to the scene. The joke was worked well. The yelling of the adies at the cottage and the lady on the hotel porch, who was on to the oke, set the crowd w ild. The carriage an for 123 yards at least. Charlotte Observer. POVERTY TAXED. The Reformers Let Wealth Go Free of an Increase. i From the Charlotte Observer. The boast of State Auditor Ayer that he ran through the increased valuation f the State equalization board not withstanding the written opposition .of ne member, cannot have failed to im press our readers as they saw it in the Raleigh correspondence of the Obser- er. Who the one opposing member was s left to speculation, but we suspect it would not be wide of the mark to say that it was Maj. J. W. Wilson. The cru- lities and incongruities of the act pro- ldmg for this equalization have here- ofore been pointed out in these col umns. It is a copy of a Dakota act ind does not harmonize with the North Carolina machinery act. The time giv- n the board rendered it impossible for t to equalize the value of lands, and an ffoit was made to secure an adjourn ment and save expenses, but this fail- d and we have lands remaining as ireviously listed though these valua ions are admitted bw all to be very anfair while mules, horses, cows, etc., ire raised to a higher valuation, to nake up the deficiency of . values of the iwners of farms, city and town lots ind other property. Thi is a very clear case of raising axis on the poverty of the State to upply a depleted treasury, while its .vealth is left free from any additional ax needed to meet the emergency. The andowner. in other words, gets off. vhile the renter must needs pay greater ibute upon his mule, his cow tnd calf. In some instances the valu ation of this class of property is in- reaped 100 per cent. In view of this md of the great inequality wrought y this fact and the tact that land .alues remain at their former low igures, would not a restraining order, irought by some poor man, hold water? Jertainly it cannot be denied that a rrcss and palpable disproportion in val- jes has heen estaonsnen. And this thorugh representatives of i party which professes to be the spe ial and only champion of the poor nan! Oh! the hypocrisy of it all! PEOPLE. The relatives of Joseph Sullivan, who ded in Oakland. Cal., recently, and was seven feet eight inches in height, have put a guard over his grave, fearing that a showman will steal his body. Although the Czar of Russia receives no salary, he manages to keep the wolf from the doer. His income arises from 1,000.000 square miles of land, which he inherits with the crown. He averages $30,000 a day. Cardinal di Rende's death, according to the London Tablet, has made the number of foreign Cardinals greater than that of the Italian for the second :inie within 12 months. There are now 51 of the former to 30 of the latter, a state of things which, until within a few years, had not occurred for many centuries. At ISoistrudan, near Rennes, France, the parish priest informed his congre gation recently that he was going to ake a vacation in order to do penance for his sins. He then worked for three lays, breaking stones on the public highways, after celebrating mass at i o'clock in the morning, living on bread and water during the whole pe riod. Among the pupils at the military icademy of St. Cyr, France, is a grand son of Prince Louis Bonaparte, who was killed in 1879 by the Zulus. The future officer of artillery is now 19 years old, and goes by the name of Wallie Kelly. His mother was the daughter of a London tailor and a teacher by calling. It is said that the Prince and Miss Kelly were secretly married, but no proof of the marriage exists. Miss Kelly is now the wife of i gardener, and is living in Australia. The ex-Empress placed her grandson it school and often visits him there. So sensational were the accounts published by the Parisian press con eerning the Turin-Orleans duel that the 11 and 12 years old sons of two so cially prominent Parisians were moved thereby to do a little dueling on their account. Having secured possession of a couple of dueling rapiers they fell to fighting one another, although they had no quarrel, and were solely pos sessed by a desire to win fame and no toriety in the same manner as their seniors. One of the boys was run through the shoulder, while his own rapier pierced his adversary's eye, de stroying its sight and narrowly avoid ing penetration of the brain. IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Pedagi gy, formerly taught by Presi dent Alderman, will now be taught by Prof. C. W. Toms. The University ex tends a helping hand to deserving men who need help. It offers courses pre partory to all walks of life. Issac H. Smith ,the big negro pol tician of the East, writes the Newbern Journal: "I wish to state in a general way that if there were only two negro men in the world and one of these was a Republican member in Congress, and being a man who would nr. t pay hi debts, I state frankly I would not re gard such a man as my social equal No sensible man would expect to be treated as a gentleman unless he de served it." Tuesday evening ex-Sheriff Hickey of Bakersville arrived at Marion with nine prisoners sentenced recently at Mitchell court. Bach had a sentence from three to six months.

If the expression be permitted, it may be said that the Ladies' Auxiliary or the Y. M. C. A. added another plume to its cap last evening in the recital given by Miss Daisye Badger of Macon, Ga., who had the capable assistance of sev eral local artists. There were counter attractions, but the hall was well nigh filled. Miss Badger justified the many words of i praise that had preceded her. &ne is a very pretty young lady, winsome, and a charming reciter, requisites that combine to make the most pleasing ef fect upon the audience. Whether tn the stmbre "Absolution" or the dialect humor of "Mammy Crittie and Baby Susan" she was at perfect ease, and en- couies were frequent. One of her best readings was "Miss Hulda's First Love Letter." from Sol. Smith Russell s Edgewood Folks." At the close of the entertainment Miss Badger gave a Spanish drill, illustrating the Delsar tean method. Miss Ray Whitkx-k s splendid voice was heard in two numters ana as many encores, iier voice is ncn, clear and sweet, and her numbers varied from Tosti's "La Serenta" to a melody n the negro dialect, winning the warm- st plaudits of the hearers. One of the most enjoyable numbers f the program was the 'cello solo by Miss Helen Collins. Miss Collins con- rols the 'cello with the hand of a mas ter, and was never heard to better ef fect. The piano solos of Miss Evelyn Merrl- nmi were given with true artistic splr- t, and the young lady won an encore. One of the features of the proram was the trio for piano, violin and 'cello. y Mrs. E. E.Jrran, George R. Col- ins and Miss Helen Collins. In each part and as a whole, the re tal was a pronounced success. SHIPPING SOUTH. Apples, Onions and Poultry From the Asheville Market. Shipping is now an important feature of the produce market. About 300 bush els of apples have the past week been sent south by local dealers, besides sev- ral'shipmenitsof onions and poultry. Ap ples properly picked for shipment will find a ready market at 25 cents a bush el. Practically all the onions being shipped are the product of the Biltmort estate.

The fes tooning of beautiful smilax from the corners of the loom to the center, from which was suspended a handosme wed ding bell, made a lovely effect. The bell was dainty and complete, from the white chrysanthemums of the base to thu scarlt-t salvias completing the rim. In the center of the table a mirror re lleeted the dainty tronds of exquisite ferns and Meteor roses, intermingled with white carnations and the feathery sprays ot asparagus plumosa.

Inspector Arrington Says He is Not an Embezzler. Washington cor. Richmond Dispatch. The arrest of ex-Postoffice Inspector Arrington, on a charge of embezzling $3,000 of government funds, and his im mediate release on a bond of $2,000. were not only a matter of great sur prise, but a shock to his many friends and acquaintances in official circles. If this is a case of political persecution. it is a most outrageous and malicious one. Mr. Arrington is from Rock Mount, N. C, where he has a residence and considerable property. Mr. Arrington held the office of in- spector in charge, having a number of sulxirdinates under him. His official territory consisted of the States of Vir-r ginia. North Carolina, West Virginia and Maryland, and the District of Co lumbia, He declares there is no Just round for the charge which certain of ficials of the postoffice department have made against him. He cannot ac count for their action, except on politi cal grounds. He is a Democrat and was removed from office, and under the law and the late ruling of the Presi dent, there must be some ground shown for his discharge, in order to make room for a Republican. When arrested on the charge of embezzlement to the amount oi j,uuu, ne appeared before a I nited States commissioner, and the man who swore out the warrant ac knowledged that all the money due the government by him had been paid, witts tne exception of $40, and this amount Mr. Arrington does not acknowledge that he owes, and has no idea when or where such amount was collected and not paid by him. He has not had ac cess to the books since his removal, and tne circumstances connected with the 40 have not been explained to him. He is perfectly satisfied that his ac counts are all straight, but, if through and mistake, or by reason of anv othei cause, ne owes the government $40, he had not leen advised of it before his arrest, and no demand had been made upon him for it. Besides the govern ment was indebted to him $180 f.r sal ary uncollected. The utmost lhal mignt ne charged is a possible delay in converting checks into money before turning tnem in, as the Treasury I)e- partment will receive nothing but cash. Notice.
