the stiidhd JAMES r. COOK, Editou. li(M)l) SKKV1C K. The Standard would give today au article concerning the wreck, by an eye-witnees, were it not that so much has already been said, aud the jury has rendered its verdict (to be found elsewhere in this issue), and the thing is done unless some of the injured, to the surprise of the physi cians, die. The Standard has been con gratulated by several exchanges and appreciated by its readers for the full daily reports wc have given as the investigation went on. We can not help from editorially acknowledg ing the kindness shown us by Dr. Caldwell, of the Statesville Land mark, in answering our telegr mis day after day. In short, Joe Cald well is a winner. The Standard would publish the impression made upon us by all the circumstances of the wreck, but the coroner's jury has investigated, found and declared what they thought right. Let us believe that they have not erred. THEY ARK tSl UE. The coroners jury in the railroad wreck case take the opportunity to censure the company very severely for negligence in doing its duty. They tind that some ties are rot ten, &c. We have heard it said that the condition of the road bed, ties and irons of the "Western North Carolina 'road from Salisbury to the foot of the mountains are in a wretched state. It is said that but little work has been done on it. This may be a fabrication, but when a jury makes a serious censure against a company the attention of the public is di rected to its road. There is a disposition to sue the railroad companies for anything; nearly everybody has a grievance, and the Standard has had many in seeking to represent the needs of the masses? But such a condition has been brought about by the meanness of the railroad authorities. When you thrust power upon some people they become tyrants, bigots, and, in plain English, fools. The influence of such men has led the masses to eeek redress, by law, for the slightest grievance. If scores of suits are not brought against the railroad company on account of this wreck, then the Standard is no prophet There is boiling and sizzing now, which is only a forerunner of what is coming. The pulpit has joined the press in scoring such powers for remiss of duty. Dr. Murdock, rector of the Episcopal church of Salis bury, gave out no uncertain words about the recent wreck. EXERTIXO A HAD ISFLIT.XCE. Ladies, if you wish to curl your hair without the use of hot irons, try this recipe : Melt a piece of white beeswax about the size of a walnut in an ounce of olive oil and add a few drops of some pure perfume. Shelby Aurora. The Standard is thoroughly and indignantly surprised at the course Editor Miller, who 13 getting aged, is pursuing. At a glance one can see that he endorses bangs, the despoiler of beauty and the ruination of eye3 and the concealer of the true expres sion of the face. He virtually ad vocates the boycott of the irons that nearly every woman carries with her when Bhe goe3 a-visiting even for a half day's visit. Miller is, we be lieve, a married man, and something ought to be done to him. He advo cates the wasteful use of beautiful beeswax, olive oil, and even recog nizes cologne's right of existence. From the manner the old man talks, it is probable that he is a fancy man, with a heart set on the perfec tion of styles, together with con venience. But were there no other way to put a kink on bangs than by use of the hot iron, the miserable and abominable style would perish : and fbo Standard is truly sorry that naner serves the kink purpose ; and now Miller makes another sugges tion. The time is coming, however, when bangs will be nowhere at all they are going by the board now and let us men and the Woman Iteform Organizations put our heads together in an effort to crush the - o etvle. Modestly speaking, the Standard believes that if the good women had been born with bangs and other results from some fashions that many would have died, in infancy, from hysterics. THE T1IIXU AS IT IH. A newspaper is a curious thing; it is really a wonderful production. Just what i3 a good newspaper no one knows, for there is no criterion Every man, provided he takes more than one, has his favorite, yet the favorite may be the poorest and fall farther from the requirements nf newspaper thau the others. The Standard man, when quite vouncr. could hear men quote the Charlotte Democrat, and believe in it and almost swear by it. It is not the case now. Not that the Demo crat is not decent and creditable and all that, but the old people (those that raised their own provisions and vent to Fayetteville and Charleston on annual trips,) are nearly all dead and ideas and opinions have changed with time. People think more for themselves than they use to. The opinion of the Democrat is respected but the most ardent admirer of it reserves the right to disagree with the sentiment and opinions advanced We refer to the Democrat because of its aee, too. But this is not the object in view, Often papers deserve and need criti cism, and from some cause fail to receive it. While such is true, peopl oftentimes censure some papers for things unavoidable, borne men kick because 01 tne publication ot an item ; whereas if the paper had ig- nored it, another class would hav b?en ready to call the editor a cow ard, chicken-hearted. It should be remembered that a paper should publish the news, that for which all strive. A paper is not necessarily au originator (yet many are guilty), but simply stands ready with type, paper, ink and press to record daily or weekly the history that is being made by a restless family in a bustling world. A news paper, if entitled to that name, is nothing but current history If it is bad, the editor cannot help it; he takes what the world gives him. The editorial page in many papers is not. in it Circumstances, localities, tastes of the editor, aud even the demands, m.iy not be such as to cal' for an editorial page. But day by day, in this truly wonderful time, there are more opinions and more things to be opinionated. But whatever the mission may be outside of printing the news, it should be borne in mind that papers, like men, are not and caunot always be themselves some days there is no history, the mills cease temporarily to grind. That newspaper work is becoming more vigorous cannot be for a mo ment doubted. Newspaper men in late vears have come to know the pugilistic art or hew to pull a trig ger. He needs these iualifications, or else a well fortified sanctum, with strong body-guard. As gentle as this sheet is in its comments and descriptions it has struck oil. Several parties, on different occasions, have come up to whip the editor, the fel low that wrote so and so. We keep breech-loading shot-gun in easy reach. Thus far all differences have been amicably settled. One enraged misguided sucker of a bottle has sent us word that he's going to anni- ilate us with a sledge-hammer and such like. A mistaken gentleman like that could be cured of his wrath by a stick of peppermint candy. Search the State over and you 11 nd many different tastes among newspaper ideas, shape, style, char acter and policy of papers as you find different colors in the Sunday attire of a female way back in the mountains.

Xot Leave the Track First The Kviilrnrr Snmrnhnl 1'oiilllclinir. but the "Dainy" wan Apparently the FlrntCnrto J.rave Hie Trarli--llnrtrKe Probably Robbed. Asheville Citizen. The ghastly corpses and maimed and disfigured survivors of the ter rible calamity near Statesville have, for the most part, be n sent to their homes, and public interest has turned to the cause of the disaster. Tin? authorities of the road claim that the wreck was due to the work of wreckers. In support of this they say that the spikes and bolts which held tne rails and crossties to the wooden stringers across the via duct had been deliberately drawn by some persons unknown, and the train thereby wrecked. To prove this they will produce as evidence spikes, with marks upon them indicating that they had been freshly drawn, and bolts with the taps removed with no marks or breaks in the threads to indicate that it had been done by violence. These bolts and spikes, we understand, were found npon the top of the bridge by Superintendent Bridgers, and as soon as he discov ered them a number of the crowd were called to witness their position and condition. Editor J. P. Caldwell gives it as his opinion that the track spread by reason of rotten ties on the fill im mediately east of the viaduct, thus causing the accident. Jur. Caldwell stated to the Citizen that he saw these rotten ties when he visited the scene of the wreck shortly after it occurred. One thing appears to be reasonably sure, ana that is that the engine did not leave the track first The track for fullv a half mile east of and across the bridge is down grade and perfectly straight. The approach to the bridge is upon a very heavy nil, and the train was no doubt moving at a very rapid rate, as the structure is of such a charac- as to be thought as solid as the earth itself. It is built of rock and brick, and has five arches or spans. It is perhaps 200 feet long. The embankments on either side are very abrupt, and the height from the ground at the centre arch to the track level above is 70 feet The train was composed of engine, combination baggage and smoking car, first-class car, the sleeping-car Saluda, and Superintendent Brid gers' private car " Daisy." In the wreck the engine was rest ing against tne western embank ment, paralel with the track, its tender reaching down to about the level land. The baggage and smoking car was in the fiat, its for ward end upon the tender of the engine. he hrst-class coach al most covered the smoker. Superin bendent Bridgers' car, Daisy, the rear one in the train, was piled upon the first-class coach, and the sleeper, baluda, the last coach but one in the train's makeup, was on top, its rear end al'nost touching the em. bank men t on the east A THEORY. This position of the cars has given rise to the theory in the minds of many that the Daiy was the first car to leave the track, and that she pulled the remainder of the train after her, the whole going from the bridge with a sidelong sweep. me track, together with the cross ties, throughout the whole length of the bridge, were swept clear from the stringers and carried into the gorge with the wreck, but the bridge tself was left without a mark of damage upon it, The steel rails were twisted into every conceivable shape, and interwoven in the wreck in every direction. It has been asserted that at least some of the baggage on the wrecked train was gone through by robbers, 1'. Mudd, u. M. Urennen, Mrs. W. N. Malone and MUs Jean Daniel, of Birmingham, Alabama, and Miss Ella Houston and Miss Emma Houston, of Athens, Alabama, had baggage on the train, consisting of clothing,diamond3 and other jewelry, valued, at $2,500. This party got off the tram at Statesville. They had been visiting Morehead, and were coming to -Asheville to spend eome time, and stopped at States ville at the earnest request of the ladies of the party, to break their journey by a day's rest The con dition of some of their trunks (of which there were six) after being taken trora the wreck was such as to lead them to believe that they had been robbed. No jewelry wa3 found. J. O. Bodie, of Chicago, a drum mer, also naa valuable diamonds in his baggage, it is said, and only one ring, a $500 one, was recovered. This was found in the fob pocket of his trousers, together with a $50 bill, when he was being undressed, and the discovery was dne to the suggestion of some one who had seen him put the money in that particu lar pocket the day before in States ville. The trunks and valises taken from the wreck were almost torn to shreds, and a3 they were piled the platform and in the freight depot no uwcoiiuc j.ur ussui unem, pre- senteu a coniusea ana jumbled mass, JN early every article was a complete loss. One remarkable feature connected with those killed outright was that the necks of all but two of them were found to have been broken. A Much Married Man. Lima, Ohio, Aug. 26. Residing near Napoleon, Ohio, is Michael Cramer and three wives. Thev all live on a $50,000 farm, and three houses are used by the three fami lies with one head. Cramer brought nis second wire to tne farm in 1879, and placed her in a cosy house he had erected for her. Wife number one offered no objectiou. He was arrested at the time, however, and tried for bigamy, but escaped on a technicality. in 1881 Cramer brought his third wife to the farm. For some cause, no action was taken until juonaay, when the county proseuuiiug attorney completed, an investigation aud prepared evidence to lay before the grand jury.

He cut him down and hauled him home, a distance ot some sixty miles, and skinned him for his hide. Photographer Ness, of Charlotte, has returned from the Statesville wreck. He succeeded in getting very good pictures, notwithstanding the bad weather. No word3 could exaggerate the horrible scene. He says the wreck remains the same, nothing having been removed.

Truly "the world do move," and, as the Morganton Herald says, Blowing Rock is keeping step with the music. The Raleigh papers have had a great deal to say about an old hand printing press here. Editors Blum, of the Salem Press, have an old wooden Ramage, two-pull hand press in their office, the exact age of which is not known. The Win ston Sentinel says it was purchased as a second-hand press in Raleigh in 1S27. It did good service until 1877, and the owners say it would do fair work now if it was set up. Raleigh Chronicle : Doctor Ri ch ard Jordan Gatling was born about five miles from the town of Mur- freesboro in Hertford county, N. C, on the 12 th day of September, 1818. He was the oldest child of Jordan and Polly Gatling. His father, Jor dan Gatling, was a man of industri ous habits a good farmer, possess ing sound sense and judgement and of large frame and great strength, and his mother was one of the pur est and best of women. There were five children, the doctor being the only one now living. Durham Globe: The following telegram from Charlotte received to day is the stuff: "Jerry Simpson will be with Col. Polk at Durham.

There has been no detention of trains. Col. Bennehan Cameron is a winner. He went eighty feet down an em bankment and walked to Statesville to inform the world that every other man on the train save two had been butchered. Fayetteville Observer: Brad shaw s convict camp, located about one mile from from Rockfish, where alont one hundred of the zebra striped tribe are now engaged at work on the Atlantic Coast Line have been quartered, was destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon, in volving a total loss of the entire canvass, a lot of provisions, oil, dynamite cartridges, etc. No lives lost Evangelist Fife will com mence a series of meeeings at Clin ton September 13 th, prox. He is conducting a very interesting meet ing at Chatham, Va., this week. News reached here on Monday of a most foul attempt to murder Mr. Lucian Fisher at Roseboro on the night of the 19th. It seems that about 9 o'clock that night some one went to the house of Mr. John Oldham, and hailed Lim. Mr. Old ham, being sick, requested Mr. Fisher to ascertain "who was there." Just as Mr. Fisher advanced to the door he was fired upon with a shotgun by some one from the out side, seven balls taking effect in his left breast; turning back into the house the eecond volley was turned loose on him, three balls taking effect in the back. Jeff Boon, col ored, was arrested and jailed, here Tuesday, charged with having been the party who did the shooting. Boon was identified by a Mr. R. Butler, of Roseboro, as having been seen near the house of Mr. Oldham. A PLAN PaOJ'tSE0 I or Increasing the Currency on a Mound BaHlN. State Chronicle. Waynesville, N. C, Aug. 3J, 1891. The public feel and I concede that there is not sufficient circulating medium to carry the country's vol ume of business. The circulating medium must be increased, or busi ness must be diminished, or prices must be greatly reduced. The law of supply and demand controls the exchange of products, but not the price. The price of products de pends upon the scarcity or plentiful ness of money. The trade will be made and the exchange had, but the producer must hold until he agrees to take the price the consumer is abio to pay. Au inflated currency does not alon stimulate industry, but raises prices and encourage3 extravag-uces, public and private, and leads to ULcertain and fruitless speculation. A currency not based on solvent and undisputed credit destroys con fidence and tends to injure both public and private credit- The National bai k notes are a solvent currency secured by United States bonds and backed by the credit of tho government. A bill is as good in one section of the coun try as another. To hear that a bank has failed does not in the least disturb the holder of its notes or de predate thir purchasing power. The peop' -.itnf. bo provided with a safer currency Lliiu tho National bank notes, but hs these notes are based on the bonds of the govern, ment as the indebtedness of the government is decreased in propor tion uust the circulation of National banks decrease, and the people can not depend alone on this source for their mouey supply. Gold, the rec ognized money of the world, is not in sufficient quantity to pay the pub-, lie indebtedness of nations and States, much less to discuarge pri vate indebtedness and carry on commerce. Silver should therefore be placed on equal footing with gold. If the present standard of the silver dollar is too low, the standard can readily be fixed by a conference of all na tions, who have silver as well as a gold standard of value and both on the same footing receivable in pay ments of all public and private dues. The National Bank notes, gold and silver, all combined are not suf ficient to give the currency trade and commerce demands. Therefore it is that staUsmen and financiers are taxed to their utmost to devise a safe and secure plan by which the people may be supplied with the much needed currency. Business end the wantB of the people imper atively demand relief in this direc tion. It will not do to increase the indebtedness of tue government with a view to increase the National Bank circulation. It is not sar'e for the government to lend its credit on perishable property for the govern ment can neither consume the prop erty or retain it, and will be com pelled to put it ou the market at a forced sale, which will inevitably result in a loss to both the govern ment and the citizen who deposits the products as security for the loan, and there being such few farm products which will bear storage in bulk, only a small per cent of the people intended to be benefitted could avail themselves of such a proposition if tendered by the government- It would be exceedingly hazardous for the government to lend its credit on real estate secur ity tor two reasons : 1st. It is not according to the spirit of OJr institutions for the government to be a land holder, and landlord, collecting rents and evicts ing tenants. 2nd. The mortgagors unler our Constitution would have the power of selecting the agents of the mort gagee, the government, and when the mortgage debt fell due the gov ernment would find a Congress un willing to foreclose the mortgage, and public credit would be destroyed and private fortunes wrecked. State banks can safely supply the needed currency, provided they are but on such basis as will secure the holders of the State Bank notes from loss by a failure of the banks- This can be done by the State Treasurer endorsing the notes and having them backed by the credit of the St ite. How can the State be secure iu thus endorsing the notes of the State Banks? Ou precisely the same basis the government is secured in endorsing the notes of the National Banks by the bank first depositing with the State Treasurer bonds of the State to secure the same. The State is now ia debt Biveral millions of dollars on which it is paying interest, these bonds are in large sums, are not banking capital and are virtually idle. If by legislative enactment they were made a banking capital and the holders allowed to issue notes on the Bame it would put a good many mill ions of dolars of solvent currency in circulation. To accomplish this purpose the present Congress should at once repeal the tax on State Bank issue, and provide for the free coinage of silver on an equitable and universal standard to be agreed upon by bi-metalic coun tries, and the State of North Caro lina authorize the issue of. State Bank notes, on the deposit with its treasurer of bonds of the State to secure the same. G- S. Ferguson. It Ih Itiffger Than Ever. The vanity of human life is clearly shown in the case of John town, Penn. Three years ago it wss a scene of death, sorrow and disaster. Washed away by a terrific flood, it looked as if it never could be resusciated, and that the places of the lives lost by that terrible calamity could never be filled. Yet, now we are told that it has gained largely in population ; that it is an active, thriving place, filled with new and more attractive homes than those which were swept away, and apparently there is no thought of the disaster.
