l IAlaillL REFORJl THE TIIIGJ
Daring the lite campaign the e
were the most unpatriotic adpeals to
the passions and prejudices of the
.. pooiil-e and there wei iuch hurling
of aiiathemaa at public officials and
at bank3 and bankers that one de
pend to be conservative and reasons
ble was making himself a targtt
for a concentrated fire. There were
::o chances to deliberate on the
great subject of finance.
There was not so much lack of

s-ritiment begets a fear of extreie
measure and one extreme must be
counteracted by what appears to be
its opposite extreme.
The great crisiB has come and
"dona -.-is the whirlwind in its courae.
Now we can sit down quietly and
cok lor the evils and their reme
dies. Financial reform is the sub
ject of great concern and is being
eenoasly considered by those who
opposed the election of Bryan. Fi-
rnci?! reform and free coinage of
e Iyer may not mean one and the
teiime thing. If real patriotism
during the coming four years there
might bo little neeu of laying the
foundations for a repitition of the
late coatest in '98 and 1900. Cnfor
tunately for us all there mav h
hindrances in Congress from a de
sire to ride the free silver hobby
rather than to get financial relief.
Surely no one will attempt to show
that banks are essentially an evil or
even that they are not a great conve
nience if net a positive necessity.
Then let our brainy statesman con
8ider well the very best system and
V e.u3 that whether it implies tree
coinag-3 of silver or not. The whgle
subjsct is now in the hands of men
that should know something about
it and it is OUt of thp hanrln nf
manv that know too lit.t.lp aKnnf if
to be so positive and sp bitter and
i inpatient with those who want a
change for the better without re
gard to the particular line of policy
by which it is obtained.
Tne StatesviUe Ltidmara as well
as the Cnarlotte O&aerver seems to
catch with delight on the ambition
of Governor elect Russell to excel in
his gubernatorial administration.
We wish we coald shaie their
brighter expectation, but if it rests
only on a late ambition instead of
well formed characteristics, it may
soon yield to some overpowering
passion. We wish we could see him
doing right for the loye of right
rather than a new ambition for a
good name. t
The interesting Qiscusaion between
Senator Butler and ..Vice Presiden
tial Nominee Watson prior to the
electipn is coming to light and as to
astuteness of phraseology it is dia
mond cutdiamond. We quote the
following from Mr. Watson to Mr.
Butler to show a little of the drift:
"But, Senator, I was a Populi9t
while you were still camping with
the Democrats atid 1 have always
been a middle-of-tne -road Populist,
while you never have been. A fu-
sionist you always have been and
you bargained with the Republicans
in one campaign and with the Dem
ocrats in the next. In this cam
paign you have bargained with both
Republicans and Democrats. God
only knows which bargain you intend
to keep."
women need have any alarm on this
score." ' j", ' ;? i
It was just at this juncture that a
lovfti sitting next his sweetheart
remarked fondly :

California Mustarl Crop.
"This country is now growing a
larger part of the mustard put up
in England as well aa in this coun
try," said a commercial man, "and
California is raising the larger part
of it. The mustard seed has just
been harvested in California, and
probably will run up to 16,000,000
pounds, or 1,000,000 pounds more
than the crop of 1895. The seed is
kept six months before being
ground. The brown seed ha3 the
best flavor and greatest pungency,
while the yellow produces the most
oil. The English mustard-packers
haye made the yellow most fashion,
able, however, and as a result there
are ten pounds cf yellow produced
for every pound of the brown,
though the brown is stronger in
every respect. Probably one-half of
the.English mustard that is used in
this country grew in England.
French mustard is the same ether
mustard, the seed being soaked in
vinegar, properly spiced; for twenty
four hours before it is gjround."
