ASI'I KATION.
Toaccomplish much in life there
must be desires after the true and
the good aspirations for meritori
ous success.
The opposite of a noble aspira
tion is unconcern, indifference,
carelessness, recklessness, unambi
tious aiming at nothing, and gen
erally hitting the aim. A person
influenced with little or no noble
aspirations is content with present
attainments and surroundings,
even when those attainments and
conditions might easily be bettered
by work and skill of the hands or
of the head, or both. But they are
content with what the past genera
tion has done. We should make
improvements even upon the suc
cesses of the past generation; cer
tainly a man should arise out of
the mud of stagnation of the unad
vanced past.
There are yearly improvements
in all material things in methods
of doing business, medicine, agri
culture, teaching, study, and a
hundred other things, and the man
that does not work and study to
keep up will be, and deserves to be,
left behind with the moss of the
past upon his back. Laziness has
no aspirations.
A noble aspiration erects an ideal
that may be reached in the chosen
walk of life and earnestly strives
with all the labor and skill possible
to realize the noble aim. Men
admire the true aim and give aid,
and success awaits the honest,
industrious one sooner or later.
The boy or girl who aids father
and mother as the years whiten
their heads and falter their steps
have the stuff of which noble aspi
rations are partly made. The boy
who constantly smokes cigarettes
and keeps company at questionable
places at late hours with persons
of doubtful character while the
father toils for him is an ingrate
and will hardly reach or deserve
success. The girl who spends her
time in primping to keep company
with such a fellow, who reads
novels only, and dues not learn
how to make a cake, fry a steak, or
make a suit of clothes (while her
aged mother docs all these things
for her) has no aspirations that
will lead to much in this life.
Work, education, and the truest
refinement all go together. Legiti
mate work is highly honorable.
Let the future grow out of the
past. Do not despise the good
lessons of by-gone years to your
self, nor the good in older persons,
Ly no means; but like the tree that
remains in and grows out of the
same soil, so let the future be a
consistent, natural, logical growth
out of the good of the past. He
not contented with the yesterday
except to make the tomor
row an improvement upon it.
Stagnation is death; movement
shows life, and is true progress.
SEW YOKK I'OLITICS.
The political campaign in New
York city this fall will attract
greater attention and prove more
interesting than has ever before
been the case with a municipal
election in the history of the
country. The reason for this is
evident enough. The election will
be the first held for municipal offi
cers under the Greater New York
charter, which constituted a city
embracing a population of upwards
of three millions, the second
largest city in the world, whose
annual expenses for local govern
ment will exceed one hundred
millions of dollars. The govern
ment of the Greater New York
will be next only to the Federal
Government in the patronage and
offices at its disposal, and this
alone is considered a prize worth
the best efforts not only of the old
parties and of certain numerous
organizations, but of that phari
saical element which has its home
contigous to Wall street, and
which goes by the name of
Reform, but whose spirit as exhib
ited in the government of the
city for the past three years has
been that of Puritanism and spoli
ation. The energies and excitement of
the contest are likely to simulate
those of a national election. Four
tickets are already in the field:
the regular Democratic or Tam
many, headed by Robert A. Van
Wyck for Mayor; the regular
Republican or Piatt machine
ticket, headed by Benjamin F.
Tracy, who was President Harri
son's Secretary of the Navy; the
Reform ticket, headed by Seth
Low, the President of Columbia
College; and the Social Labor
ticket, headed by Henry George,
the author of "Progress and Pov
erty" and of the land-tax theory
of government. The platforms of
the four parties thus represented
are interesting. The chief fea
tures of the Republican platform
are the endorsement of the single
gold standard, the Dingley pro
tective tariff, and the Raines State
liquor law. The signficant fea
tures of the Tammany platlorm
are the ignoring of the financial
question while nominating only
straight Democrats who supported
Bryan last fall, a sweeping con
demnation of the Raines liquor
law, and the urging of various
municipal reforms. The Reform
or "Goo goo" platform also con
demns the Raines law, and prom
ises local reforms, while ignoring
general politics. The feature of
the Henry George platform is a
full and unequivocal endorsement
of the 16 to 1 silver plank of the
Chicago platform.
The real contest apparently lies
between the Tammany and regular
Republican tickets, and will be
one in which organization and
political experience will count.
The result, it is generally believed,
will have a national bearing, there
fore the regular party tickets will
undoubtedly draw the bulk of the
vote. The consensus of opinion at
this time seems to indicate the
ultimate triumph of the Tammany
ticket.
Ill E CAl'SK OF BIMETALLISM.
The world at large is fast awak
ening to the fact that there is a
serious shortage in the money of
ultimate redemption. Even Eng
land, the arch conspirator of
nations in the movement against
silver, is gravely discussing the
advisability of reopening the
Indian mints, while the Bank of
England has announced its inten
tion of availing itself of its pre
rogative of keeping one-fifth of its
coin reserve in silver.
This will be distressing news to
the Cleveland-Carlisle mugwumps
who worship gold and laud Eng
land to the skies for ber disinter
ested efforts toward the defeat of
Bryan as the exponent of bimetal
lism. In another year the mourner's
bench will be crowded with the
Bayards and Bynums, the Whit
neys and Wattersons, and the
whole corporal's guard of goldbug
generals who see the handwriting
on the wall will be anxious and
eager to again revise their mone
tary convictions provided always
that they are given the chief places
in the temple they sought so sedu
lously to destroy.
But to welcome these renegades
back into the ranks of rejuvenated
Democracy would not advance the
cause of bimetallism a single iota.
They can best advance the cause
by opposing it. To allow them to
be elected to office again would
smack of treason.
Equally treasonable would it be
to the cause of bimetallism the
cause of humanity, the cause of
the farmers and producers of those
countries (and chiefly this) that
have suffered so severely from the
evils of the gold standard to per
mit Great Britain to be one of the
leaders in a great tactical move to
restore to a despoiled people a por
tion of their rights.
The interests of this country
and the gold owners in England
and America are antagonistic, and
must always be so.
We want none of their death
bed repentances, nor their leader
ship out of a slough into which
they have placed us.
The least informed of us have
heard of the Trojan horse!
KDITOKIAL NOTES.
There is no sheriff that is equal
to a guilty conscience. It causes
one to run sometimes "when no
man pursoieth" when the offense
of the guilty one was not known
to the public, but supposed by him
to be known. The great Daniel
Webster eloquently illustrated this
from life: A man had committed
a murder and, undetected, made
his escape; but the ghost of his
victim haunted his conscience day
and night. Finally, outcries in
his dreams, and especially talkines
to himself, were heard by others,
and he was arrested on suspicion,
confessed the crime of his own
motion, and suffered the penalty
from the decision of the court.
Verily, great is the power of con
science greater than wealth, skill,
or any influence against it. Heeded,
it is a light to guide to good con
duct; unheeded, it is a monitor to
persuade, urge or warn, and to
punish for not following in the
path of right. Be careful with
conscience and it will be the great
est encourager in right-doings;
but neglected, it is a most fearful
punisher for wrong doing.
Will the farmer of McDowell
who got a dollar for his wheat
send a line to this office? The
stock phrase "dollar wheat" is
being used in the cities of Ohio
with telling effect. The " farmers "
of Cincinnati, Columbus, and
Cleveland all sold their wheat for
a dollar on the day that commod
ity paid its fleeting visit to the
century point. But how about
the farmers who farm land and
raise wheat out of the ground?
Were they as lucky as the city fel
lows who took a fall out of one
another in the wheat pit on the
stock exchanges? Let us hear from
the lucky fellows who sold any
dollar wheat.
The fall of the Ascarraga minis
try of Spain will, it is supposed,
result favorably to the Cuban
cause. The liberal, able states
man, Sagasta, has formed a minis
try that will likely be liberal
towards Cuba. Weyler, it is
reported, is to be recalled from
Cuba to Spain; also, the Spanish
minister to this country, Dupuy
DeLome, is to be recalled to his
country. Dupuy De Lome and
Weyler have favored a too violent
policy towards the Cubans, whose
cause moves on to success with the
turn of affairs. The Spanish nation,
too, appears to be on the down
grade towards a second or third
rate place among the most enlight
ened nations of the earth.
The New York World started
out to investigate the silver senti
ment, to learn whether it was
dying out. That paper is a
thoroughbred gold sheet. This is
what it says after its investigation:
The representatives of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New Hampshire and Vermont
align themselves with the commit
teemen of Indiana, Michigan, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky and
West Virginia in looking to Bryan
as the leader of the party and in
accepting free silver as its shibbo
leth. Mr. Dingley in his answer to
Mr. Bryan admits that "dollar
wheat" will not last longer than
the present season, and confesses
that his tariff bill, which was in
tended to abolish deficits in reve
nue, will fall short of its purpose
at least $50,000,000 in its first five
months of operation. And finally
Mr. Dingley insists that his tariff
measure is a fine piece of legisla
tion. The answer will do. It
would make a good campaign doc
ument for the Democratic party.
The Nicaraguan Congress has
granted a concession to an English
syndicate which conflicts with the
vested right of American citizens
to build a canal across the isthmus.
It "Perfidious Albion" is hunting
for trouble there is no better way
of finding it in huge chunks than
by displaying a disposition to
interfere with American rights.
Whipping England is a habit this
country inherited from our fore
fathers, and inherited traits are
the strongest of frail humanity.
Mr. S. Otho Wilson has revived
his journal entitled The Uayseeder.
The paid organs of the gold
monopoly have rung the changes
upon the word "hayseeder" in
order to cast a reproach upon the
farmers of this country, and the
taste which inspires one who has
been the recipient of many favors
at the hands of the farmers of his
native State to adopt the con
temptuous term as a title for a
newspaper is questionable, to say
the least.
The Spanish political kaleido
scope is a trifle too sudden for the
average weekly newspaper to keep
up with. It looks as though the
Sagasta cabinet, which recently
succeeded the Azcarraga make
shift, would offer the Cubans some
empty terms of peace, which those
patriots will promptly reject. What
will happen then will perhaps
largely depend upon the exigencies
of the pending Ohio campaign.
The overworked President, who
has to put up with the daily pleas
of office-seekers, is contemplating
a trip into Virginia to escape their
importunities. Meantime these
same office-seekers (who are base
enough to allege that Mr. McKinley
has been a perennial office-seeker
when not holding office) are quietly
humming the ditty which begins:
" There'll come a time, some day."
Bank wreckers, as we see, come
to grief. Lessons: (1) do not
take the first wrong step, though
wrong but a little; (2) straight
forward, open conduct is deserving
and will succeed in the end;
(3) "the chickens will come home
to roost," "the way of the trans
gressor is hard," and "be sure
your sin will find you out."
It is to be presumed that one
Grover Clevtland is shooting
ducks and catching trout this year
as usual, but the contents of his
game bag are not paraded to the
public gaze as of yore, and the
public is woefully ignorant of the
important fact whether he shot
more birds and caught more fish
than his companions.
The Raleigh News and Obstner
is eminently well pleased with the
restrictions placed upon admission
to the bar in this State. There are
others. In common with the
esteemed N.and O., large numbers
believe that there are plenty law
yers and too many professional
politicians.
If the Greater New York election
could result in eradicating the rot
tenness of Tammany and breaking 1
the boss rule of Tom Piatt, it
would be a local and general gain.
Tammany is both a help and a
load to Democracy, if some good
people do belong to it.
Nashville, Tenn., is thieatened
with a " reform " city government.
It is feared that the City of Rocks
has grown so proud as a result of
her glorious exposition that the
threat is a rebuke from on high.
Would the "advance agent of
prosperity" be good enough to
indicate a date for the forward
movement in cotton? Or is McKin
ley prosperity intended only for
McKinley constituents?
Out in Alton, Illinois, negro
children have been excluded from
the public schools. Illinois papers,
however, continue to' deplore the
condition of the negro in the
South.
"All coons look alike" to Mr.
McKinley before election. After
election, however, only those from
the South are "dark, but not too
shady" to hold office. t
m
Mr. Bryan continues to address
vast audiences daily, and his
remarks continue to throw the
Pharisaical press into convulsion.
Raw material transformed into
labor, money and contentment
that is true progress.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis
eases. CHIEF CAl'SE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. It
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by niisUke, attributed to fe
male weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty four hours: a sediment or set
tling indicates kidney or bladder trou
ble. The mild and extraordinary effect
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney and bladder ramedy, is soon
realized. If you need a medicine, you
should have the best. At druggists
fifty cents and one dollar. You may
