CONCORD. SEPT., 8, 1896.
UflAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT?
It is wonderful how positive eo
many. of ns feel in respect to the ef
fects of the Indianapolis convention.
There is no doubt that its platform
expressed what the gold standard
men at Chicago would have liked,
o far as the leading issues were
concerned, but it has always seemed
to us that it took but a short time
for eyery gold standard Democrat to
make up his mind to "abide in the
hip' or not, and, while the Indian
apolis platform is a strong document
from the gold standard view, we see
nothing to change a man who had
tnade up his mind to vote for Bryan,
We thought that the chairman had
hit the centre when ho Raid f hw
would make a home for Democrats
oualterabiy opposed alike to the free
coinage of silver and Republicanism
it is and always has been on other
ie3ues. It is to be admitted, though,
that by some it ia to be used to effect
the defeat of the Democratic ticket.
It see ids like ibe Indian's gun-- it
. r
shoots two, ways. It has at least
temporarily drawn the fire upon
itself to the relief of the minds of
many' who had grown frantic in
their blame of the ivdministration
for all the ills to which we are sub
jecf, " ' '"'
Whatever be the effects and how
erer much we regret the inability to
unite on the ticket opposed to j Re
publican policies that we believe
have, led to all the great, evils of
which we complain so much, we may
be asked "What are you going to do
about- it F
Unfortunately the great financial
question does not divide our voters
by the same line drawn before, but
by a line drawn at acute tingles to
the old line and therefore if cuts the
old political hemispheres by con
fused lines.
f In the midst of all this bolting
And threatening to bolt, this fusion
and trying to fuse wonder if it
would not be a good time to
stop
. criminating and recriminating and
let the term consistency and true
.Democracy and true anything else
Test awhile to gather new strength
or find a new set of definitions.
FIRING BIG GUNS.
The Scientific American gives an
account of marine drill and target
firing by some of our heaviest ves
eels during the latter part of Au
gust, They placed a canvass target
twenty.-five feet high and fifteen
feet wide and sailed past it at the
rate of about eleven knots per
hour; at a distance of two thousand
. . . - i
yaras or nearly one and one fifth
miles. Most of the shots came so
near that they wouldhave struck an
ordinary vessel. The "Raleigh"
sustained her proud record by den
molishing the target almost at her
first shot Upon firing the thirteen
inch shells the sea would lash like
in a little storm and the concussion
was so great that a two thousand
pound anchor lying on the: bow
seemed to leap forth fiom the vessel
and was lost in the sea. J Gunners
were made temporaaily deaf.
The torpedo- experiments also
showed the fearful consequences of
naval warfare
in this prog
es3iye
period.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
The week ending Saturday Sen-
tember 5th, 1896, was comparatively
warm, with two or three
days
slightly below the normal in tem
perature, and scattered showers on
the 3rd, 4th and 5th, poorly distrib
uted, however, except in the1 west
ern portion of the State, where the
rain-fall was - more general!; over
other portions the drought in many
places is unbroken. But little im
provement is now possible in the
crop conditions. ,
Western District. Good, soaking
rains fell on the last two or three
days of the week at a large number
of places in the Western District.
effectually breaking the droueht 4
but. came too late to materially j
Deneht crops. Cotton will be no
better than already estimated ; pick
ing going on rapidly, except for two
days, when interrupted by rain-
Late corn isjshooting up tall, but
little crop. Good crop of pea-vine
hay has been harvested. Turnips
fairly good and much benefited by
the rain. Some wheat land has
been broken, this work being quite
backward.. Leaves of forest trees
are beginning to take the varieeated

nues of fall in the west.
It is hard to ' conceive of a busier
man fhftn Wm; .T Rrtftfl 18 nOW. He
is on the go making; a! set: speech
wherever he has time to sit, and a
standing speech: where he has not
time to sit. His young vigorous
manhood serves him well. Most of
our statesmen of reputation equal to
his own are pastlthe flge' to endure
it. It has.the happy consequence of
giving more of,- cut home staying
people a chance, to -see him, and in
sures more enthusiasm for our
ticket. We hope there will be no
box cars or other obstructions to a
view o ' his car next Thursday a
week from 10 i- to 10:30' a. m;. If
Concord can't all see Mr. Bryan we
will convince him that h is seeing
most of Concord.
