The World's Columbian Kxposi tion, acting under act of Congress, has awarded a beautiful gold medal and diploma to the la'e ex Gover nor Thus. M. Holt for the best wheat exhibit at the World's l'air. It is a great compliment to North Carolina to get the prize when its wheat was in competition with the whole world, and especially with the creat wheat growing sonntries of the Argentine liepublio, Riifsia, Austria, Kugland, France, Uelgium and Germany. To beat them ail, as well as every State in the Tnioiijis no mean distinction for North Carolina. The wheat that took the prize was grown on Governor Holt's famous farm in Davidson county, known as "Linwood Farm." Governor Holt was ono of the best farmers in the State, and always took the greatest pride in his crops. The diploma, signed by the ofli cers of the Exposition, sets forth that the iward is made for purity. The yield is '20 bushels per acre. It is illustrated with all the names of the whea' producing countries. The medal is very ehgant and beautiful, and North Carolina is proud of the distinction it confers. News and Observer. An Editor in a Quandary. The Staunton News is having an experience common to every news paper inability to please every body. One citizen has stopped the paper liecanse there ia too much baseball news in it, and another bo cause there is not enough, thus put ting the News between tlie "devil and the deep blue sea." It is utter ly impossible to till a newspaper, ot whatever size, with matter which will be equally acceptable to every reader, as eveiyone not an idiot must know.' The liest newspaper, like the bt!ft menu, is made ot the greatest variety of items as tempt ingly served as the patronage will justify. The man who denounces a newspaper because it contains news items that do not p articularly inter est him is just as unreasonable as one who refuses to eat at a table on which there are dishes that do not tickle his palate.

Ono of tho most remarkable inci dents of the big cyclone in Michi gan was that which Charles Drad- ley, ot Tiiomas, proved himself an absolute hero I'radley and his wife and two children were just sitting down to supper when the storm struck their house. The husband cried out to his wife to go into the cellar at once. She obeyed and I'radley followed with the children. Mrs. I'.radley was afraid that the lamp in the dining room might be overturned and set fire to the house. She went up stairs to extinguish the lamp and on her return was about to place the children under a Wttnhtub when the crash came. ''I'ut the babies down and bond over them,"' said Iiradley. Airs, bradley did what she was told, and her husband protected her body with his own. The bricks and beams fell upon him, hut he did not wince. When the damage was done Mrs. Ihadley crawlexl out and her husband followed her. "When the cyclone passed," said tho wo man, describing the matter, "Char ley told me to crawl out, and then he shook the rubbish oil and cot out himself. Oh, my biave, good husband !"

It is certain that all tho larm that may be done by "driving gold lrom circulation with free coinage ot silver," has already been done. Tho hankers take pains to with hold all tho gold and treasury rotes that come into their hands. i'he result is contraction of currency. No matter what the stated circula tion per capita is, the real circulation is only the amount of the silver coin, silver certificates and bank notes; for theac are the only kinds of money in ths hands of the people iu general. A million dollars of treasury notes in a bai;k vault may be counted as a part of tho money in circulation, hut so far as the man on the street is concerned it had as well be in China. We do n jt pre tend to know all about the financial question, or even to have nnchangc aole opinions on it ; but we cannot be blind to the facts: Iho money of the country is to a degree in a condition similar to a rift of logs congested in a river; and something must be done to break the raft, be fore a beginning toward better times may be made. Dibical Ue c jrder. Cheaper Wheels. Bicycles are cheaper th s year t.'ian ever before, but still the bot tom figure cannot bo reached as yet, No longer ago than last year people hesitated liefore buying a cheap w heel, or one of a model that had rut received the test ot several sea 8' ns; and with reason. Those who b night a low-priced wheel for economy often had to trundle it home as the result of a breakdown, or spend nearly tho machine's price in keeping it repaired. Wheelmen say that their experi ence with cheap wheels this year has been different. They believe that the very fact of old bicycle makers having made so great a re duction in the price of their 'tHi wheels, together with the increased facilities for manufacturing, is proof that there is a chance for a still greater drop in price. A few years ago one invested in a bicycle as ho would in a horse or a buggy. He had uo intention of selling or trading it at the end of six months. A bicycle of any sort was a luxury, and its rider became more attached to it each year. Wheels were but slightly modified from year to year, and to ride one machine fi-e or six years was not at all uncommon. Like fiddles, bi cycles wero said to grow better with age. Now, it may be said, a wheel must be built for the occasion. "Mine is the latest '00 wheel," is the proud boast of cyclists to day. This desire lor new wheels of the latest pattern has done much to benefit manufacturers young in the wheel-making business. Cyclists feel that while a wheel may not have graat endurance, it will suuicu f jt a season or two, when they want a new cue anyway. It has been rumored that a con signment of bicycles is likely soon to arrive here from Japan, and that they will sell at a surprisingly low figure. Whatever may be the truth of this report, it is generally be lieved that bicycles should be cheap er than they now are, and that bright prospects await the concern which will furnish a rich man's wheel at a poor man' price.

Soon All The Planets Will Be on the Other Sii'e of the Sun Tugging Together, Lieut. C. A. L Tottcn. U. S. A whos'.i interpretation! of the IMblo and rophccicg have won imn lame in tho past, thinks that the end ot tho n-i: is st hand, and that tho St. 1-oiiib tornado, tho political situation and other present conditions prove that ho is right. In a statement of his views, which ho has just issued, lio says : "It will not he denied that if a magnet revolves n a circuliir orbit about a central core that is In con ncction with a register, tho register will i idicato no variation during tho revolution, while, if tho revo lution bo eccentric, as, for instance, in an elliptical orbit, the register Will lnnvitnf.lv lltitirtatn n.avitna and ininiiim. as tho outward mag net draws near to and away from tho cet tral euro.

So also lienner, famous among all stock brokers, tinancijrs, and grain merchants for his prt phecies as to tho cycles of trade, tho riso and fall of prices, elabor.'ed tho idea from auother standpoint, and a host ot other specialists have treated it along the whole range of religion, politics, business, crime, insanity, lifo and mortality. "twice in tho Christian era three of the greater planets exterior to tho can ti have been in coincident periheKa, in the sixth and sixteenth centurv. They were famous eras of plague, pestilence, and pertarba tiou among men, and now for the first time in the history of man all of the planets, exterior as well as interici, superior as well as inferior, are approaching a coincident period of ominous and I cannot but believe nialitic influence It will culminate only at the very end of this century, and w.y extend well over into the next.

Mexico and Japan, The gold etundard peoplo hold up Mexico and Japan as two of the frightful examples of the silver standard, when as a matter of fact there aro no two countries in the world to-day which are making as much progress as Mexico and Japan. Speaking of Mexico the Omaha (Neb.) World Herald quotes a resi dent of Mexico, who is writing ot the silver standard in that country, as suggesting two propositions in reply to two of those laid down by Secretary Carlisle, one of which is ; "There is not a silver standard coun try in tho world to-day whoso pro ducers aud manufacturers are not more prosperous than they ever were before." Tho other is: "There is not a gold standard country in tho world to day whose producers and mauufacturers aro as prosperous as they have been in the past." Neither of these propositions can be success fully disputed, tor the current ins- tory of the times proves tho truth ot both. Every gold country in the world has suffered more or less lrom iudustrial depression ind liuancia embarrassments, tor which tlie gold standard advocates have been giving various reasons, but never admitting tho true one. ilmington Star.
