Opposite Pro fessor Swing a woman lived,, in the neighborhood was f cautiously; picking ner way over tne glare of jce. sudden ly the catastrophe came, and without warning her feet flew out and she came down hard upon the sidewalk. - Profes sor Swing paused to satisfy himself that he was not Beriously injured.

C, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1895. . , " : - 1 1 i ii i i , , i- t BELIEF. News and Observer. , -- When those farmers of North .Caro lina who went off with ; the Populist movement, hoping to get. relief, , wake up to find that they have been ' robbed of i what j credit - they possessed and learn that thel only method many of them, had to secure necessary advances to enable them to plant and cultivate their farms has been taken from ithem without a word of warning or a moment's discussion, they will, ' no doubt, fully realize what the success of ; the Fusion movement meant in North Carolina. And hereafter' they- will probably, be willing to listen to both sides ; and i not refuse, at the bidding of Marion Butler and Otho Wilson, who . were merely working to get into office, to listen to a discussion of pohtical questions . : The edict went out last summer from Butler that they must not attend Demo cratic speakings, nor i read Democratic papers. ? Democrats spoke however, - if only to the winds, and now these winds are echoing and re-echoing with" em phasis the warning they gave. Butler knew that the people were not all idiots. and be feared that the sound logic of honest, able, : conscientious Democrats might convince them of the error into which -they were falling, and hence this edict. - , To get in was what Butler and r his gang , wanted, and in an unguarded moment thei people .voted them in. But where is the relief promised the people? - : Is railroading a bill .through at the bidding of a foreign boards of trade. stealing from :the farmers the credit they had, the promised relief? 7 Is a legislature that cost the people $7,000 more than, the former legislature any relief? ' ' ' - , Is an increase of four cents taxes on $100 worth of property any relief?. , Is the voting of $125,000 moreaout Of the State Treasury than was appro priated two years ago,- relief? ' . Is the change from State to county adoption, ; probably necessitating the buying of new books for the public schools in nearly every county , in the State, any relief? Is the increase of offices for partv heelers any reliei? . .. ; If so, our Topulist friends doubtless have all the relief they want. . If a ten line enactment, unwise and unwarrant ed, which blocks trade, revolutionizes business, disturbs aH-our commercial relations and destroys credit, is relief, then Butler and his fellow-office seek ers have redeemed their pledges. Butler- got relief, 1 great relief. He got six years in the Senate, at $5,000 a year. Otho Wilson got relief in the shape of a six years' terms aa Kailroad Commissioner, at $2,000 a year". These two got $42,000 of relief, but where does the relief for the people come in? In an increase in taxation and a de struction of their credit. . - - M.,H,H. M . A mmU.

St. Louis BepubUc. , - " The cost of Solomon' Temple and its internal decorations and other para phernalia was one of the wonders of the olden times. - According to Villalpan dus, the "talents"; of gold, silver and brass, used in its construction were yalr ued at the enormous sum of 6.879.- 822,000. The worth, of the jewels is generally placed at a figure- equally as high. , The vessels 'of - gold, according (as has been shown by Capel'a, reduc tion tables)' was equal to 575,296,203. The vessels of silver, according to the same authorities, were still more valua ble, being set down as worth 649,344, 000. Priests' vestments and - robes of singers, 2,010,000; trumpets, 200,- 000. , To the above add the expense iof building materials, labor, &cj and we i ' j r 'l a ' rr .1 I get some wonderful figures. - Ten thou sand men hewing cedars,' 60,000 bear ers of burdens, 80,000 hewers of stone, 3,300 overseers, aU f which were em ployed for seven years, and trpoh whom besides their wages,Solomon bestowed 6,733,997. If their iaily food was worth 2 shillincs each, the sum of to tal for all wag 63,877,088, during.the time of buildine. . u The material: in the rough is estimated as having been worth 2,545,337,000. These several estimates show the total cost to have been 17,442,443,168, or $77,521,665, 936 in United States money. . The Rose and the Thorn. Detroit Free Press.. - : She was no loneer a rosebud.
