For tunny years Mr. Chandler ha l-"i the inveterate foe of the rail roads to N'ew 1 luinjishire. More than twenty-live years ug.., to quote h;s ow n language, he liegan to op pose the system if free iaxNe-i, not knoinwliy 0, )) people of the State should pay their fa ren and 3,000 ride free, as a eoni pen-nation for con trolling the olities of the Slate. He liu.s fought for an ind"iendent fyn tem of railroads in New Hampshire, instcrtd of having the State form a url of a larger system mainly exist-, ing onisido of State iMiundaries. lie tost both tights when the hglxlature inad tree passes legal, and when 1 ho consolidation he oposed was av eonipli'hed in lsO. Since then he has labored just as earnestly to over throw this legislation, Hud has pro tested in t!e vigorous manner of whn h ho is i-Hpahl', against the un due waiennj' of tvk mid the arbi trary iiicrrn.se of freight ami passen ger i ales, lie has advocated the building of hrtric roads in onler to sta'ilish i oin pet it ion, and, llrst.last, and all the time, he has tried to di vorce New llatupdiire politics from what he calls railroad domination HAS UrK.V a LOSIXO 11GIIT. It has leen a losing light. Chan dler tells of his struggles and ac knowledges his defeat In his own characteristic way. "As to the railroads of the coun try outside of New Hampshire," h says, ' I have entertained the name views and pursued the same course (.faction; always struggling against vast illegal combinations and the abolition of railroad eomietit ion. Whenever consolidation has made headway. 1 have tried to secure suf tlcicnt governmental regulation and control. All these tilings in State and iiatUiu have been done by nie solely in devotion toduty, unselti.sh Iv, I trust, and certainly without any bac or improper motive whatever, or any mrioual animosity against any railroad owner or manager. lt must b.) admitted that my ef ferts have not Ueu very fruitful in cither l hu State or the uationd hWd. The New Hampshire system of rail roads is gone. Consolidation han come; eouiinlition is extinguished; the iMiwer of the railroad coiuuii- si.ni to control rates in advance has gone; Mock has Ken watered by mauv millions of dollars; the Stat- nreived nothing for its rights in th' Concord Railroad; free jiassea are universal and have been e.xpre-ly legalized; and the railroad is the all controliiug Hjlitical jwwer in the S'ate." POSlTPN ON TIIC HI1.VEK UUKSTION Mr. Chandler's answer to the charge that be has leen jH-rsistent in hi.s eirorts to secure the re-establishment of silver as standard money through an international agreement has already I teen given in brief in a t-peciai dispatch to The l'ost, so that it need not bo lejH'ated, except to add that ho sxys his jKisition has U-en inisi-eprcseiited by his accusers. He points out that there a great ditlVrenee Utveen Kepublican bi metallism and l)t'iinx.Tatic silver uioiioiiiciall'sm, and then t-ays: "My jiersonal conviction as to the bniot taiice in conned ion .with a re aili in iiioe of the single gold stan dard of an assertion of the desirabil ity of the remonetization of silver through tho action of the nations, in the fare of an approaching national convention and Presidential election, I ct.uld not sati-fy by vtiting for the uigie gold standard while only pay ing that we would not preclude in trn.r.ti.nml bitnetallisin. It was I diiLcult iu-stion for each of the half a dozen Reputdicau Si-nators who bad been the most ardent ami radi cai r.imetaiuts to decide for him- 1 honor and resect those who were sati-il. d with savintr that we did not 'preclude the accomplish ment' of bimetallism and did uot insist that we should say that we still de-ired it. Hut I could not con cur with them. Senator Aldrich, lu the abundmce of his friendship and the kindest manner, before the last vouj wan taken on u rfereoc i-m, urgel rut, to vote for lUiadop 'ion. I told Llm that I had thjujrht ovr the que-tlou many hour; that T aa conscious my peniiueLice might l'e me my re-etertlon Uitbebeoate, but that I euuld not chaiiK?. consist ently with my view of political ud ubllc duly. "Ii 1h Uuh u truth frankly to vow that ihone view have ao -luw changed. The recent vast init put of gold from tUu mines, lncre u.g the Hiockj of metallic money aiwi allowing alxiiulajit lut-H there on of piijr mouey; th m.gtdneeul tMlauee of trade In Uir of tUe Uol-i.-d Slate-; the unparalleled propr-iiy-t.f tiiociiuutry, the uopatrlotlc attitude of th Demxrailc party axid the extreme utteraoce of Mr. Bryan, have given to Mr. McKlnley an easy victory. Is our overwhelming lit leal wer to be used to ostracise ltepulilicaiis, however fw they may be, who xtill believe that it Ls deslr able that the nation of the world sho ild agree upon some fixed ratio between gild, the money of the uioHi enlightened nations,' and sil ver, the money of India and China?" FA YOKED THE WAR WITH SPAIN. Senator Chandler glories In, in stead .if denying, the fact that he favored a war wlttiHpalu as tho on ly uieans by which Cui couid be treed from Mpaulh control. "It L true," he nays, "that I earnestly la Ixirei for an lmmeiliat-i declaration of war. I believed It to he the Inherit ed duty of the Anglo-Saxon race In the Uuiled States to terminate the wicke t colonial rule of Spalu in Cu- ba. 1 had impatiently waited three years for an opportunity per sonally to do something in perform ance of this imperitive obligat on." Then he quotes a prophecy made by him in 1HHH an to the outcome of such a war, and says that In view of the glorious realization of thin proph ecy, it the llepu I1 leans ot New Hampshire deem his attitude a suf ficient reason for condemning him, "I shill bo proud of any t-enaltv which, for this reason, may be in- fl ctsi upon me." The Unparalleled Century. Cbrlatmas Huccess One hundred years ago! What remarkable story the panorama if the closing century reveals! In 1800, our country was a pluoky fl. dgeliog, healthy, vigorous, ardent in hope, high In resolve. Our total copulation was les that 5,500,000 (Jermany and Britain each had four times our number, 8 pain twice as mny, and even little Portugal ha I is big a family of sons and daugh ters as Uncle bam. West of the Mississippi, all was wilderness We had thirteen little states and few cities of prominence . except Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Boston, and Charleston. The en tire revenue of the United States government under oar first admin- stratlon was only $4 500 000. while It now costs annually $98,100 413 33 to defray the expenses of the government of Ureater New York Washington waa then a new settle ment. with nly a few thousand population, and had been only late ly made the capital. The total wealth of the country was roundly estimated at $200 000,000, or a very little lest than forty dollars per capita. ClieapeKt Railway Fares. The cheapest railroad fare, next to a ' pass, ls the emigrant fare from European ttussla to Siberia in order to induce peasants to set tie In the eastern districts of Siber ia the Russian railways have Is sued tickets, gooa for a family of any site, from any part of Europ ean Russia to Tobolsk, at two ru bl s From Tobolsk to any part east as far as Vladivostok or Port Arthur the price is lour an t a half rubles. Hence, for not quite seven rubles, or about $3 50, a whole set tler's family can travel about 4,000 mile . This arrangement has been made upon the personal suggestion f the czr, who expects great r -ules from the extraordinary In due. ment-. Moreover, he hopes by tuts scheme to divert the stream ot emigrants from the United States and to utilize these forces for bis own empire. M blister Sells Whiskey. The Ashevllle Gazette says that T.J. Frlsbee, a practicing physi clao, minister of the gospel, lawyer, justice of the peace, and In '91 the nominee of the Democratic party (or the legislature in Madison coun r.y, has been found guilty in the Frderal court oo a charge of Hav ing sold whiskey without license It was done In the regulation way. The "moonshine" would be left on the oide of the hill and the man who wanted the whiskey would gt the Jug and leave the money in its Dine . The sentence wai imprison ment for three mouths aud $200 and costs. Slie Lassoed a Wolf for Teddy. Oklahoma City Dispatch. Agnes Marshall, said to be the original of Bossy Braoder, la Hoy t's "Texas Steer," naa sent a won nme, stuffed by berself, to Governor Theodore Roosevelt aa a gift. The skin belonged to an animal which she lassoed some time ago while out riding with her slater. She is a daughter of Colonel Zach Mulhall, cattle king of Oklahoma, and general lite stock agent ot the Sc. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. Machines Displace Farm Hands. In England daring the past few vears.lt is claimed. 140 320 farm ia borers have been displaced by ma chinery, while the making of the latter, It ls asserted, required only the labor of 4,600 men for one year. A conservative estimate places the grape crop in Chautauqua coun ty, New York, at 7,000 cars, against 6,000 oars last year. PAPtl fROIf COTTOK 8IC0 HULLS. !

Will the next Legislature give to the taxpayerx of 'the State free speech, free ballot and a fair count? Toe Democrat have promised It. The best men of all parties demand it. Tney promised to do so In the campaign of '94, and violated their promise. If they v lot ate that promise now, then there will tie a revolution iu North Carolina politics. In that case Congress will be excus able in protecting American citizens in their rights. Why not protect them in the States of the union &h well a in foreign countries? A party that h afraid of honest elec- llfiy-jtions is unworthy the confidence of the ieople. Turkx 7 Won't lbtcoftaize oar Coaaal. Constantinople, Nov. 24. The Porte has definitely rejected the re quest for an exequator for a United Htates consul at Harpoot. This re fusal is regarded by the United States legation as a direct violation ot treaty right; and consequently, dexplte the refusal, Dr. Thomas H. Itorton, who was appointed by President MeKinley eome time ago, to establish a consulate at Harpoot, has been directed to proceed to his (NIHt. The expected visit of the battle ship Kentucky to Smyrna is believed to telate quite as much to this mat ter as to the indemnity question. Hiui ASUr Take Waco Bar Kooou la Wtmtoa Winston-Salem, N.

An American who has just returned from the Transvaal, gives the following interview: 'I see that some of the pmpers in the United States are condemning Presi dent Kruger because he left, and are declaring that he ran away and desert ed his'people," said a member of the corps.
