Personally, I . 11 have nreferr.1 n i:. cud haye been iostpotietI until jthe comin-winter, when under the conditions that will then vxist we 1 could enter upon the race which will I e ru tor the supremacy in this conn- i trv. j 4,Froni the time of the tariff couunis J sion of 10 down to a year ago, four teen years, the cry for tariff reform had its varying fortunss, resulting at last in a revision which I believe will be so acceptable to the people- that there will be no general movement made upon it for years to come. The disposition of the tariff clears the way for the settlement of the silver ques tion. . "That quest ion, v said Mr. Crisp em phatically, "is now fully before us." "Will it be the one issue before the people next year? "It will," said he, "and in such a way that it must bj settled directly, not by subterfuge or evasion, but in a way the people may understand. The fact that. progress in silver rehabilita tion has been slow should not be dis couraging. This is a big country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with probably seventy million of the most civilized people in the world. The ba sis of all law with us is the Avill of the p-ople. When, after years of discus sion and often contrary action, thej' made up their minds tor tariff, reform there v. as no power strong enough on earth to resist them. The silver ques tion is going through the same course of public discussion. It is meeting .with the defeats and victories just in the same ratio as .-characterized the rariu light... Just as in thai tight the silver men will have their brittle royal, when the American people will award the victory. "This great question w hich has come to ii. .-ide by r-ide with th-- tariff ques tion will be settled hke-.viso by the Democratic party. In the next cam paign the re habihtatiou of silver, will be the main question and controlling issue upon' which Democracy will ap peal to the people. Party platforms should always be ' plaiu and direct. I do not. believe" in these planks which so vrfrt.-Mi :is in en tch voters roinir( and coining. Parties should be honest to the people. ' Whatever room existed for dnTerent construction of the plat form of ItUi should no longer exist and for this purpose that to be adopted in 1S0U should be so plain that even a school bov could understand it.'' Speaking of Secretary Morton's let ter, Mr. Crisp said: "Yes, 1 have read the letter in which M r. Morton d-clares himself for the gold standard. Dut have you not noticed that President Cleveland lias disclaimed responsibili ty for the utterances of his Secretary?"' Then he added: "Jf Secretary Morton had written a letter favoring the free 'coinage of silver Mr. Cleveland would probably have dismissed him from his cibinec instead of merely disclaiming his act." . A Newspaper Must b fr th St rs and Stripes. Now, Mr. Greeley is my great exem- ! plar in journalism. He thought a newspaperman was o! little use who ! did hot know just the number of votes ! in every township in the State of New i York. in every voting precinct, aad who could not tell whether the : returns from the second district of ; Pound Itidge, in Winchester County, , were correctly re potted or not. with out Maiding to the place to find out how mahy votes had really been east. , That was one of his great points of j distinction and Miecess; but I would j not advise you to labor after that sort j of knov.iege unless you have inherited i a natural talent for it. But you should j understand and appreciate the theory in! the American Covvrmuent, , - you should know whe'e this public began. ! where U came f;t.:.! and wheiv it be longs, in the history of mankind, and what part it is destined to p!ay hi the vast drama of human t xi:eriee. That is the sort -of politics that must appeal to an intelligeiit man, and that will surety tet his utmost powers. And while we are this point, we may s ty' in passing that an America:! !io thinks another country better than this should not go into journalism. You must be for the Stars and Stripes every time, or the people of this coun try won't -be for you. at:d you won't sell enough papers to pay your ex penses.

A large block of the stock of the ( Southern Pail way was placed in the ; A LOOKER OK But Not In To til Indificrenec Tin: United States Iiight In It. ARBITER IN TIIK ORIENT. Our Minister's Did It With their Little Hatchets. The United States has declined to be drawn into the controversy to such an extent as to take sides, but will con tinue its good offices, a in the past, to continue peace between China and Japan. The Uuited States ministers at Pekiu and Tokio, Mr. Denby and Mr. Dun, were largely instrumental in se curing the agreemeut between the two countries, it being v.'holy due to their efforts that the plenipotentiaries were brought together. During the pre liminaries, they made China acquain ted with Japan's requirements and through them the terms were practi cally arranged in general term before the Simoynoseki conference met. As tlie United States was the confidant of both parties, and being familiar with I Iju arrangement from the begin ning, tlie assumption is made that this government approved .them. There fore, no reasonable ground seems to present itself for United States inter ference now. This ia, brought out semi officially on account of Russia making objetion to the cession of certain territory by China to Japan and therefore of the terms uf th treaty of peace. You'v No Idea.

' ILLINOIS FUR SILVER Senator Palmer's Son Says tho Democracy Is For Free Coinage. IT WILL GO TO RECORD. Kcliev in a i6to I Ratio Without Any IniruUona Confer-: ace Whatever. Chicago, April 27. The most scdsa tiunul political development for lnauy a day in Chicago, if not in tho entire West, wa made public this afternoon. The coming Democratic State Conven tion in Illinois will beyond all doubt declare for free silver without interna tional agreement ot any kind, and the movement ii of such strength that other Western and Southern States will be prevented with great difliculty, 'fat ad, from following the lead of Illinois. The authority of these statements is Hon. John ib.yo Palmer. Corporation Council of Chicago, and one of the best-Known Democrats in the State. He Is not a free silver man. On the contrary, he has a reputation, with the more pronounced silver element, as a decided "gold bug." Mr. Palmer is the son of United States Senator Palmer, who has been leading the money light for the National Admin istration in Illinois, The slatementa were in;t-l in mi interview this after noon, and the news has caused wide spread comment and speculation. The Chester and Lenoir. , The;-e is considerable being said about a boycott by the railroads and steamship companies represented by t Vi.ni ..n i-;i....... i o t.;. Association aghtst th Sealkiard Air L.iue lhoiroad. The reason is immaterial he:e. The Sea boa id, thete.ore "cut' rates, both freight and passenger; that was in the interest of the public, if to the detri ment of dividends or salaries of offi cials. The' public applauded the "cut. That w;is for the reason above stated. Tlie pet of the people from Ienoir, X. C, to Chester. S. C, ruus 10 miles from Hickory to Newton on one rail o.' the Southern Railway, with their own rail on the road bed and cioisties of the Southern. They, of coarse, have t pay for the privilege. The Chester and Ienoir Xarrow guage h is lK?n in trouble. It was formi ily lend bv a kaedJine-of the old nu'hmoiid ami Danville. They gave-it up A receiver or two one from this city were, appointed. The stoekhoiuer took the road later, and have been oterating it quite success fully. Thy were acting on amicable terms with the Seaboard ; Air Line esirc:ally at Llucolntoti. Now comes the statement that reLi tions lK'tv.v.n the Seabo-ird Air lane and the Chester and L?noir Narrow guagc are syertl ejecially at Lin-, culuton. No joint rates, and ifo inter chai:i,jt treighr, etc. Now to the point: Here comes the infanta-it iii troma private source, that tlie rje.ibj.ird Air Line ha, or is about to agree, to see that the money i forthcoming at once to build a road bed for th" Chester and Lenoir Nar-row-guage from Hickory to Newton, and fli-i place the latter in ?uch a po-:iioii th:f t will U.- independent of the S ;ith-f u Hallway and v-ill then iu:rchi'iige r;:fes ata! trafic with the t.l)o.srl Ar Line. The worK. oji same may beoiu r.ieucil in tlie early summer. F5b In 5oclh Fork. There i a fn-h trap at Hardin, below Lincolntoji, on the South Fork. Not long ago Bv. Ik I. Westenbarger.the owner, cau"g!;t on it a 4-pound fish. He was expatiating on the beauties of tlie li-h there and the rivert etc., when Uev. Prof. Doermann aid to him. Why eir; do you know there is not another fish In that stream, much !es one that large? The lxilanc are all liyunows." Si:gUEL Last Tuesday, vnh ult. Prof. Doennaca receive! by express charges prejiaid, from Ilev. "Westen 1 larger, a fish caught iu the same trap the day before, which weighed 14 lbs. net. It was no doubt a Tvd-horic.
