WE ABE WAITIHG, Dorn.1 Unva ntrn va nronOnnded a ain bnt polite questions to the ta Constitution and we are Vio linno Avon vol nf fttfrAfifcini? ttentim of oar neighbor to otir :?fof Jight," and eyoking an answeY to oar anxious inquiries, we repeatvwbat we said last Friday, which was as follows; "Our friend, the Atlanta Consti tution, is constantly urging that we return to the bimettaliic standard.' The Constitution ought to know what it is talking about when it discusses the currency and indulg ing for the mement the wild suppo Bition that it does, we beg leave to ask it a few questions. 1- How can we return to the bi metallic Btandard? 1 2. When did we ever have a Li mettallic standard? 3. What nation has the bimetallic standard? 4. Is there a nation which has a metallic single gold or single silyer standard ? These are plain queries and we nrge the Constitution to answer them. We know that our neighbor has whole stacks and great gobs of financial wisdom and we limplore it to let some of it gUBh forth on theae appeals for information. If the Constitution refuses to re' ply, men and fellow-citizens, what shall we do ? We suppose we must continue to grope." Again we beg the Constitution to let us have the benefit of its effalg ence on these humble requests for information. Atlanta Journal. 1HEFBESS bTIRS CI THE PC1.PIT In view i the contro ersy in the First Presbyterian church over the request of Mr. Talmage to be permit ted to conduct both the morning and evening seryices it is no wender that Dr. Sunderland bemoans the fact hat. wHiava nn nrpqn fpnanrsrim in this country. In his complaints, however, he stated much truth and for that reason he can be forgiven. He said: "We all feel, I think, the truth of this when we confront the mass of daily publication. We have here no censorship of the press, that subi- quitoas, omnivorous, salacious, men dacious, venal gossipping, censori ous, judgmatical, charitable, benefi cent,most generous and indispensable monster, the champion giant in 'all contests, the power which makes and unmakes public opinion, photo graphs the face of society, and tries beforehand every government pro ject, and every law case in church or State of eyery name and nature under heaven. The courts in a large sense have come to be simply the formal registers of the decisions pufclic press." V pi ess is not only a great public opinions, bnt it is honestly entitled to its proud and honorable bo have heretofore the-'peov pld the press lannselfish in its ef forts to do good and looks for no rewards except the confidence of the public. It baa no special interest in either attacking or recommending certain projects or measares except to protect the rights of its readers, and for that reason it deserves the commendation rather than.the criti cism of such able men as Dr. Sun derland. Washington Times re you aware, asked a corres ndent of the New York Sun, "that Secretary Olney wrote the message recently sent to Congress by Presi dent Cleveland ?" The reference is to the British Venezulan message. 4,0f course we are,? says the San, Che most critical paper in the coun try and the highest authority upon literary style. "The document," it ays, "speaks for itself." The San then considers the message in detail, quotes the last paragraph and de - dares that Cleveland wrote it It . is probably correct, all the way i through. - Mr. Cleveland's style is ' entirely distinctive, and the last paragraph of the Venezuelan message sounds like him while the body of document does not. There is .-little, Siewever, in the point raised except that . it is a matter of interest in a .literary jenae. There is nothing on statural in a . President . having i Jepeaal message on foreign 'questions5! --written by his Secretary t( State. 4 The i hi Cleveland can write a message and that he does write messages; and everybody knows besides, that, whether or tot he wrote a word of the message in question, he signed his name to it . and will stand by every word in it States ville Landmark. Ingenuity in getting ont news papers appears to haye no end. In Vienna newspaper napkins are is Bued daily, and in London newspa per towels haye a large circulation. The newest of these useful journals is punished in Madrid. It is called La Telia Cortada (The Cut Cloth) and is an illustrated comic weekly. After being read it is put in water, where the ink disappears and a fine handkerchief remains. The Chicago Dry Goods Reporter says : it is important to note that many of the most acute financiers in this country are backing with in vestments their opinion that we are about to enter upon a period of pro nounced and general prosperity. T Py Ui Highest Penalty. Raleigh, N. 0., Jan. 12, Qoy. Carr ha3 issued a warrant for the execution February 13, at Newton, of Thomas. Covington for the mur der of James Brown, superintendent of the Long Island Cotton Mill. Brown owned a store near the mill, and having ascertained that it had been robbed, went one night to watch for the thief. The following morning his daughter found him lying on the floor of the store dead, He had been shot three times. Covington confessed that he bad gone to the store to steal and found Brown, who rushed at him with a piBtol. He sprang on Brown, wrenching the pistol from him. An effort was made to secure a yerdict of murder in the second de gree. Covington was superinten dent of the spinning room in the cotton mill. Bow They Same tbe Baby.' The Lapps, who received the doc trine of Chiistianity only a short time ago, are still pagans at heart, and still give pagan names to their children. The Lapp baby in its halfmoonlike case, is simply crossed with water and named. The Caribs, like Christians, have a godfather and godmother to assist in the ceremony of christening, but the duties of these two, instead of being to provide a handsome present, is to bore holes in the child's ears, lower lip and in the nose, from which jewels and ornaments .are hung. In Mexico the priest delivers ex hortations oyer the infant on the miseries to which it is born. If the child is of high birth, a sword is put into its right hand and on the left is fixed a shield. If the baby is a mechanic's son, the Bword and shield give place to the instruments of his trade in life. ' Then the priest takes the child to the altar, draws a drop of blood from his body and immerses it in water. CnMan History In Brier. In 1534 and again in 1554 Ha vana was destroyed by ins French. Matanzas was the first city to tall into the hands of the insurgents. Cruelty and injustice to the na tives has always been the creed of the Spaniards. The present revelation began February 24, 1895, when the repub lic wasproclaimed by Marti. In 1848 President Polk offered Spain a million dollars for the island, which offer was refused. The constitution of Cuba, model ed on that of the United States, was adopted September 23, 1805. The revolution of 1868 lasted ten years berore Spain succeeded in com promising by promising reforms. A triangular blue union, having a single star and five stripes, three( of red and two of white, is the flag of the republic Very little reliable news iot the present insurrection can be obtained, owing to .the censorship of the preBS and the mendacity of the leaders of both sides. The first serious revolution took plsce in 1848, under the leadship of Narcisco Lopez, who in 1851 repeat-. ed his attempts to free the island from Spanish control. Chicago Times Herald. .

Friend and s Humble Chrlatlam ', Mrs. Jeabette Rixford Strong, wife of Dr. y P Strong, of the Charlotte Democrat, breathed her last last night at 11 o clock in her room in the Yates building on East Trade street. Mrs. Strong had been . a - great sufferer for several years. She un derwent an operation 'for cancer over a year ago, and was ' so ill at the time that ber life was almost despaired of. She had wonderful Vitality, bo'h in body and mind, and recovered to the extent that she was able to be up and dressed and about in her room attending to her work as assistant editor of the Democrat. Only two or three times in the past year has she been on the street, but each time was greeted with genuine cordiality by her friends, for all felt sincere concern for her health. She knew, as well as those who loved and cared for her, that her days were numbered. Day by day her strength failed, but her braye spirit was Bhll the same. She had been gradually passing away for several days, being uncon scious for two days past. The end came quietly and peacefully. Those who sat by her scarcely knew when she left them. Mrs. Strong was of Northern parentage. She came to Charlotte in 1875 and had since that time made her home here. . She was known as a woman of unusual men tal endowments, 'fine judgement, quick perception and general strength of character. She always assisted her husband in his newspaper . work, and in the last few years, since his eyesight failed him, had relieved him almost en tirely of the care and work of the paper, editing it in a manner which at once gaye tone, dignity and stand ing. Mrs. Strong was no ordinary woman. She was a well rounded character. Her mental qualities would alone have made her what the world calls a strong character, bnt her heart as well as head drew people to -her. She was kind, chari table, modest and unassuming. She was a member of the Episcopal church and loyal, earnest Christian. Meekly she bore her cross and today the brighter her crown. To her venerable and esteemed husband the sympathies of this community go out. Mrs. Strong was 61 years of age. She has only one surviving relatiye sister, Tuesday's Charlotte Ob- Berver, Butler Not a Candidate. Senator Uutler, of North Carolina, when seen last night 'said that so tar as he was concerned there was noth ing in the story about his being a candidate on the Populist Presidents ial ticket for second place. 'There has been a great deal paid about various persons for President," said Mr. Batler, "but the sentiment of our party has not crystallized upon anybody. We expect to nomi nate a good ticket, for we believe it will be elected. Mr. Trumbull has been spoken of, so has Senator Allen and many others. "Each locality has its favorite son. So far as my candidacy is concerned it is sufficient to say that I haye not and will not for. almost three years reach the constitutional ags that would permit mo to. take the office were I to receive the nomination for President." An Old Love Letter. The following loye letter, written by a Eentnckian in his youth, and bearing date in 1823, may be of use to some of our more modern, but less effusive and tropical lovers as an example in erotic epistolary corres pondence. It reads thus : My Dear andJAdorable Polly : As the heayens yield gloomy aspects, making null and void my timidical feelings, I sit down to promulgate to yon, most holy immaciate virgin, that I hold a kind of biennial reyer. ence for your most sacred charms, bnt owing to the intense frigidity of the circumambient atmosphere, it has diacomboborated my respiration like a ship tossed on tbe tumultuous ocean in sight ef the delightful land and then tossed back again. ' Oh, if there is any tender pity that lies within thy snowy bosom, delay my raging passion, or 1 shall doubtless pass out of this world in a hurricane of sighs to that sweet Klyaiau which gives dreams of consolation to heal love-sick hearts..

The Democratic members who stayed out of the joint caucus are preparing a manifesto to be sent broadcast, and in which they define their position with regard to Senator Blackburn, tor whom there is now absolutely no possibility of their voting in the joint Assembly. The manifesto states that Blackburn has broken faith with the party by preaching fiee silyer after a sound money plats form had been adopted' by his party and in fighting the Democratic nominee for Goyernor. These acts gave him no right to their allegiance and they would decline to vote for his election as United States Sena tor. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 11.

At these times, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is of incalculable value. It strengthens and invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, promotes regularity of the functions, allays drains, and puts the whole delicate organism into per fect condition. Almost all the ills of womankind are traceable to some form of what is known as "female complaint." There are not three cases in a hundred of woman's pe culiar diseases that Dr.- Pierce's Fan yorite Prescription will not care. Forging- Ten-Dollar Bills. Si. IjOUIS, Jan. l4.

The debate oh the Senate free coinage substi tute for the House bond bill was opened today by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, in a two-hour's si aech which was followed with close at tention by Senators on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Jones took strong ground in favor of the free and independent coinage of silver contending that it was the only method by which the distress in the country could be alleviated and the Treasury department relieved from its present dependence upon the speculative holders of gold. Thete was no reply to Mr. Jones' argu ment today, but the debate will be resumed when the Senate meets again on Monday. Mr. Pritchard (Rep.,N.C.,) called up the amendments he had offered to the revenue bill, to increase tbe duties on certain kinds of clays, marble, iron ore, timber, live stock, cereals, fruits, wool and coal, for the purpose of addressing the Sen ate thereon. He fa7ored the re enactment of the McKinley law, and free coinage of silver. He denouned the Southern Democrats for their recreancy to their own section. Their tariff law had brought unex ampled recreancy to thoir own sec tion. The?aoturers aiid bankruptcy and ruin to tbe farmers of the South.

Mr, White (Democrat, of Cali fornia) made some remarks in favor of amending the rules of the Senate bo as to Kive the majority the power to bring a measure to a vote when ever it saw fit. Mr. Morgan (Democrat, of Ala bama) the former chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, offered a resolution which was re ferred wiiuout ooate, conveying the congratulations of Congress to President Krugef on the sstablish ment of the Transvaal republic and expressing the hope that with the example set by the Transvaal re public, the republic of Liberia and the colonies of the republic of Fiance and all of South Africa would eventually come under the sway of Republican institutions.
