The Silver Sentiment ii Growing. The Gold Democrat, Not 1 factor It The Act Independently. (Norfolk Virginian.) "How do you viow tho non action of tho dominant party in the matter of money legislation 1 a Virginian reporter asked lion. W. J. Pryan "I ho ICcpublicans promised to maintain tho gold standard until loreign nations joined in bimetal lisui. 1 his does not require any at Urinative action except as to tho at tempt to secure inter national bimet allihin, and tho administration ha sent a commission abroad to consult other nation in regard to a confer ence. It seem to me that tho He- publicans are doing upon tho money (jucation all that could bo expected of them. It is probable that tho administration will recommend a commission to consider tho fjoestion of retiring tho greenbacks, and I think it is also probable that tho commission will bo so selected a to report in favorof retiring tho green backs. Tho Uepiiblicans did not, during the campaign, promise to ro tiro tho greenbacks, but there is no doubt that tho Uepnblican leaders desire to do so." "Has your observation upon tlio subject of hard times led you to ho- ievo (hat they aro improving f "So far as I have been able to see, there has tieen no general im provement in business conditions. 1 ho failures reported weekly do not dilTer materially in number from those reported a year ago, and bank failures have been more numerous since tho election than they were before." "What aro tho chief reason of the continued business depression '" "Tho position taken by bimetal- lists during tho campaign was that the low prices received by a largo portion of tho producers of wealth made it impossible for thorn to buy. When tho tanner has nothing left after paying his taxes and interest, lie cannot buy from the manufac turer, and when manufacturers can not sell they cannot employ labor. 1 When people are idle they are not good customers for tho merchants." "Is the silver sentiment on the increase ?" "The silver sentiment is growing. This is apparent from the number who are announcing their conver sion, and from the spring elections. I have no doubt that the silver cause will be much stronger in 1900 than it was last year." "Are you in favor ol the main tenance of free silver clube until 11)00?" "Yes, decidedly. While events aro the best teachers, yet those who believe in free silver must point out from time to time the course of events, and show their connection with tho money question. If the members of the free silver clubs will make it their business to circulate literature and keep the matter bo fore the public constant conversions to bimetallism will lie the result." "Do vou expect the gold Demo cratic party to lie a factor in the next elect iou f It ia hard to say what influence the gold Democrats will have in the next election. The 1 slmer and Puckner vote was only about 130,- 0H), many of these being cast by persons who thought they were vot ing for a Democratic ticket. There is no way ot knowing how manv gold Denwerat voted for Mr. Mc kinley. If the gold Democrats act alone they will lie insignificant in 1100, If they act with the Repub licans they may be of some assist ance. My own opinion is that a large number of those Democrats who supported the gold standard in ISl'O will lie thoroughly con verted to bimetallism before 11KK). As 1 have had occasion to remark on pre vious occasions, I do not think there can be any political affiliation be tween the regular Democrats and the bolters. If the bolters come to us they must come back believing in the Chicago platform. If any of the Democrats are converted to the gold standard they can go to the bolters." "What are your impressions of the South gathered from yooi tour through Southern State f" "The South is not suffering any more than the rest of the country. Io tact, I am not sure that the South is suffering as much as some other sections. The people of the Sjuth have not borrowed as largely as they have in some portion of the country, and, therefore, not so much injured by fall rg price. When a person is in debt he has certain fixed charge which do not fall with fall ing price." "Do you find Southern hospitali ty all that yoo expected T "No one is ever disappointed in regard to Soathern hospitality. The puople have earned a reputation for their treatment of visitor and they eern determined not to allow that reputation to suffer. I always enjoy a visit to the South."

In a circular letter to the veterans, issued by him from Atlanta, Juno 10th ho says: "While it ha been 0110 of the chief plcusurf , a well as ono of the highest honor of my life, to serve inthettation to which your partiality ha o repeatedly called me, ant while I shall ever cherish the num berless evidences of your con lldonce. yet 1 must ask you to prepare tor tho selection at JNanhvillo of some ono elso as your commander. You are my whin -as that I have repeated ly in tho piist sought roturrindcr tho high and responsible position; and I haveyielded my purpose only at your contest solicitations. It must ho apparent to you that whether tho exigencies supposed to exist In tho past were real or fancied, there certainly no longer exists any nlllcimit reaaofi for asking my con- tiiiuanco in that high oflice. rortn nateiy for tho well being ol our association, there it no dilllctilty in selecting fioin the tunny illustrious ex soldier of tho Southern army a commander whoso ability and de votion will ensuro the continued growth and harmony of tho Pnited Con federate Veterans." A Mean Trick. At the Stitto Medical convention in St. Louis lust week, Dr. Donelan, ot St. Joseph, told the reporter of the Globe. Democrat the following story. He said : "After tho adjournment of a con vention a lew years ago, Drs. Knight and Riley, of Sr. Joseph, started home in a sleeper. They had the lower berth and the weather was intensely hot. Dr. Knight was a very small man ; in fact, a boy in stature. Dr. Uilcy was big and fat. Knight was given the inside of the berth and went to sleep. Riley, ith his load of avoirdupois, sat on tho edge of tho berth and filmed himself. At Herman a lady entered the :ar and asked tor a lierth. She was told that tho car was full, but alio insisted, saying that she had sat p with a sick daughter for five nights, and had to have sleep. Slid denly an idea struck Riley. 'Take my berth,' 'ie 8(od- 'lhero is only my little boy inside.' Knight was sleeping peacefully and tho lady gladly accepted Riley's offer. About an hour later Knight awoke and made a remark to whom ho sup posed was Riley. 'Never mind, tittle boy, said the old lady, sooth ingly, 'pappy will lie back pretty soon. A little later Knight aam began to talk and the old lady again attempted to lull him to sleep by fromising pappy 'a early return, iut the littledoctor this timeawoke. The scene that followed it would take some time- to relate." In tho tobacco trust trial in New York, Joseph II. Choate, one ot tho lawyers for the tnut, asked one if the talesmen : "What would y ou do if at the end ol this trial you found that eleven of the jurors are of one mind and you of another "I would sgreo with the eleven," was the reply. "Why so i" said lawyer Choate. "liecanse I should probably be in a hurry to get home," was the reply. "You are accept ed," said Mr. Choate. A lady, Mrs. Edith Le Pnrns, at Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 13th, ascended in a balloon in the pres ence of 3,000 visitors to tho height of about one halt a mile, when she cut loose the parachute and was de scending nicely, but the wind car ried the frail craft toward the Ten nessee iver into which she fell, and bacoming entangled in the ropes sank with the basket. A fisherman goon brought her to the surface, and effort were made to resuscitate her but failed. This was on Sunday afternoon.

Hie Batik Ground NORTH CAROLINA MORE INTERESTED IN MAKING THAN IN WRITING HISTORY. Th Guilford Battle Ground and a History of f!l Monument! and Numerous Attractionl, (iireeiisli .ni I'lirlallua Ailv ate ) North Caiolina, in the past, ha been mora concerned about making history than writing it. That this policy has been unfortunate for the State and her people all thotigntful pt rsons now sgreo Wo have ni disposition to boHst, nor to indulge too fro ly (he imagination, but wc want to say that in deeds ot valor, 111 noble achievement in the ti.ld, in tho forum, in our legislative halls, in private and in public life, our itizens have not beun behind the foremost in other States. A lias ofti n been the cso in history, wo have not received credit tor what wo have done ; but for this wo our selves aro mostly at taint. Wc aro glad to se a new spirit manifested by the present genera tion. The time has como when the old rt cords arc In ing over hauled ; noted places, long neglected, are Ik ing visited; revolutionary battle fields are licing searched ; relics aro being gathered, and facts long hid den are being brought to the light. On Saturday, June 11th, we ac cepted a kind invitation from our esteemed friend, Col. Joe Morebcad, to visit the Guilford Pattle Ground, which lies on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley IUilroad, five miles North of Greensboro. It was a do- ghtful drive over a dirt road that leads hither and which has, in tho ust year or two, been put in pcr- ct order. We were glad to note this as well as other substantial im provements. llie Guilford P.ttle Grotn.d was organized May th, 1SS7. The original incorporators were J 11 dire i. Schenck, Dr. D.W.C. Penbow, Julius A. Gray, Thos. P. Kfcogh ami J. W. Scott. Manv others have since been added, "the com pany now owns about 00 acres of d, which consists of forest and open fields. The latter have been opened up by good roads, avenues, and drive-ways. Large numbers of trees have lieen planted, sprint's walled and enclosed, a beautiful lake constructed, and summer houses built at many points In addition to the keeper's nidence, a very substantial brick museum has been built, an oflice for the president, a pavilion that will seat three thou sand persons, and a lare house where refreshments are served as occasion demands. Twelve monumen'8 have also been erected costing many thousands of dollars. Among the most noted of these is the one in- memory of William Uooper and John PeTin. These gentlemen were delegates from North Carolina, in 177b", to the Continental Congress, and sign ed the Declaration ot lndeci.dence, '1 heir remains were rt-ititerred here in 1S94. The monument is ot granite, six feet square at the base and ie surmounted with a statue ot William Hooper, 7 feet in altitude. Another notable one is thai which was erected by the late Gov. Thos. M. Holt, in memory ot the North Carolina troos, which, led by Ma jor Joseph Winston, fell in battle near this spot, while fighting the Hessians and Tarleton's cavalry, af ter the Continental line had retreat ed from tho field of battle, on March 15, 1 TS1. It is built of Mount Airy granite which has become so well known for its beauty and durability. We find also a monument erect ed by tho Maryland Historical So ciety, through the influence of Prof. Daves, a North Carolinian, in mem ory of the Maryland trooa3 who fell on this field. Still another one ot prominent interest is that of Geu eral Jethro Sumner, one ol the he roes of 177o and the most accom plished orator from North Carolina. Hi remains were recently removed from Warren county to Guiltord Pattle Ground. Here is also the tomb of Major Daves, one of the well tried patri ots ot the revolution, who departed this lite ( let 2, 1S0-1, and whose re mains were removed from New Pern iu lS'.'L According to the best authenti cated records the battle of Guilford Court IIoui-c was fought between General Gnene and Ixiid Corn wallie on March 15, 1751. Coru walhs had au army consisting of f.lXH) well drilled troopo, and Greene about 0,000 mixed soldiers and militia. Gecrge Washington visited the Guilford Cattle Field on Tuesday, June 2nd, 1791. The Pattle Ground Association baa in it museum the best coiuc tion of revolutionary autograpli and relics to be found anywhere in the South, and the battle field itself is dertined to become the most no ted place in North Carolina. It Is to bi hoped that both our State and National Government will join the few patrio'ic citizen of Greensbiro io their effort to tedeem this revo lutiooary battle field from oblivion, and to convert it into a Mecca of paiii 4 sir. The anniversary t.f the StwiWy will bo celebrated thi year n Fat urday, the third of July, and ample preparation are beintr mido to make it the most brilliant occasion in it history. Ict all patriotic Nortl Carolinian bo present to do honor to their illustrious ancestor. Revolution! in America. An English millionaire i travel ing westward from New York, leav ing behind him a trail of lurid prophecy of impending disas'er for America. He says, among other things, that wo are on ' tho verge of a tiemendous revolution. J hi is imbecility. Tho people who think any American city can everlo con trolled by a communo or i in dan irer of such mob law as has some time prevailed in Fan aro idiotic. They know nothing of America and Americans. We will work our rev olution wilh the electric motor, with better knowledge of tho se crets of nature, with more common nclnxds, and a nearer approach to exact justice for all men. Ti II tho idiots that when they begin proph esying. a- A Wit Suggestion. Tho correct principle of govern ment would seem to be to regulate the expenditure by the revenue, and when a general falling off in values occurs, and the revenues of tho Statu aro decreased, instead of aggravating tho prevailing distress by increased taxes, it would eem wise to scale all expenditures to meet tho deficiency. Put in doing this all of tho institution of the State should be treated alike. There should bo no favorite in such a matter, and all should have a share in tho gifts ot the public. Wiie Men Know It is folly to build upon a poor foundation, either in architecture or in health. A foundation of sand is insecure, and to deaden symptoms by narcotics or nerve compounds is Kjtially dangerous and deceptive.

WHAT TO I, There is comfort in the knowledge sooftcnexprcfMMtliat Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Poof, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in reliev ing pain in the back, kidnets, liver. bladder and every piirt of the urinary ifsiiges. It correcs inability to ioiu urine hii1 s.'hM.iii I'hiii in issing it or bud t iKe! following use of Honor, wine or bci r, and overcomes that unpleasant iiK-csrity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate.

It contains no alcohol or opium In aay form and ia always harmless even when given to a babe one day old. ff.. It does not patch simply, it cures.
