That Thr .Will be a
Con
tinned Silver War. '
' "The Washington Star of yesterday
Says: "The jmnvwhositsoontentodlf
- down and says silver is done for has
not looked into -anything. He puts
. a light estimate upon the men in the
penate who have vowed to support
silver to the las ; ditch.: This is a
; phase of th liquation to which little
study has been given.- The pros
pects are fair that the sound money
men will control the Senate after
; March next, but their majority will
,' not be large, if it should .be, a ma
' jority at all. The minority is made
up of strong, able 'men legislators
who have as. much experience as
- those on.: the other side. Teller,
Morgan and Vest, it is , cited, lire
. matches for the brightest men on
r :the other side. - The t political stu
dent sees that these' men are not
gring to fold their hands in the
Senate. It is certain that from the
' beginning of the first or extra ees
sion of . the next 'congress these
men, backed by a solid following,
' will begin the struggle of their
lives for mastery in volitics. The
greatest game of politics ever played
.. in the Senate of the United States is
on, Every move to be made, and
which must be met by the republic
cans, wilrhe in the interest of silver.
If it does not take the shape of bills
for silver i remonetisation, It will
come la other ; forms. It will be a
continual play to reflect upon the
administration and to strengthen the
cause of the white metal- Nothing
will be left undone. .The silver men
wilt meet of tea and caucus over the
- developments ot the situation.. They
- will act practically as a unit" It
will be peculiar, if there is any di-
vergence of roads for. the various
silver elements now. - They are
"bound. by a compact which they can
not part.! They may differ on the
Issue of the tariff, but it Is believed
that this difference will not be great.
The Southern men are going to give
. their Western brethren a great deal
of what they want in the way of pro
tection to Western interests and in
dustries. They will not fall out over
thsse things. So the opposing side
will stand solidly together,, and the
contest will wage fierce and hot for
four years. " -- - " f -''.:

ready 'of distribution by the Ex

F. E. Hege,' Manager of the poultry
division of the 'station, and.' in
tended for. popular reading to give
eomple information about poultry
raising. It has 58 pages and is Il
lustrated with 40 ufes showing the
appearance of all the more import
ant : breeds of poultry including
ducks. Descriptions with cuts are
given of easily 9iade poultry houses,
rood bouses . and brooders, an
of the various appliances : iound
necessary ' and useful . In poultry
raising. Cuts are also given show
ing the changes that .take place in
the . egg during incubation. Com
plete instruction is given as to the
care - of - poultry with all the .more
common diseases. ' The' subjects of
artificial hatching by means of In
oubators, and 6ubsequent ca,re of
ohlckens by brooders are fully de
scribed. Feedlngandcare of young
chickens bred by the hen or by in
cubator, and also grown fowls, are
completely discQssed.
An important subject which is
considered is how to Improve the
common stock by means of a thor
ough-bred cock. It costs but little
or any" more' to feed an improved
breed or a well selected cross, than
the ordinary barn yard fowl, yet the
former is far more profitable. How
to dress and ship poultry to market
ls'also described. Thd bulletin will
be sent free upon' application to Dr.
H. B. Battle, director," Raleigh, N
O, Poultry raising with the proper
care Can be made more profitable
than almost any other branch' of in

money required. The object, of the

War to fee lfept-np by-the Republican

By Telegraph to the Press-Viaitdr.
Washinoton, Nov, 10. Chairman
Mark Hanna's announced determina
tion to maintain the national repub
lican committee as a permanent in.
etitution, and to continue the war on
tree silver without cessation, means
a great deal. It means that be and
the business men of the country do
not care to go through another scare
like the one of a few weeks ago; that
they do not want another stagnation
of affairs to come in tbu midst of
prosperity. To prevent these (lis
asters and interruptions to business,
the business men of the country
have agreed with Mr. ILtnin that
the best thing to be done is to crush
the idea of, free silver, further into
the ground than now and not to give
it Si chance to raise Its "h ead t wo or
four years from now. That it would
Interpose again there is no doubt
With these ideas in view Mr. I Ian mi
'will be furnished the money to con
tiaujthe fight on the white metal,
he hope being that he can effectually
S&Utnp out further agitation before
the next presidential contest.
V Shrewd politicians see the h ind
qf a master politician in Mr. Hanna's
.move. No campaign in the history
f this country h' s ended like this
Ope unless It may have been the
oampaign'j against slavery wh.ch
preceded the election of Lnio ln
The, ablest politicians do not believe
that the death blow to the financial
Views of the democrats was given in
the flection just closed. They piy
no attention to the repeated asser
tions that the "fi ee silver craze" is
dead- Those same assertions were
made as far back as 1874, but th.;
craae has broken out at inopportune
times ever since and has apparently
jprogressed in strength. They know
iAat the agitation is going toon
tiffue, and that the only way to
finally kill it off is to keep up the
WOt'k tf education, and keep the
people of the country lined uu
against it at all times. This is what
Mr, Hanna is preparing to do, and
(hose, who know him and his met hods
predict that he will not stop his
labors' until the question of free
silver-ceases to be an issue of the
parties ot the country and ceases to
interest anybody.
't Cm all sides the silver men, headed
by ,1 their most brilliant champion,
Mr.' Bryan, send up theory of 'wait
untijj 1900." They predict dire
things as the result of the McKinlcy
administration, and have already
becgun the work of trying to .handi
cap Jiim. They will not only indulge
in .-talk of this kind but they will
continue their national committees
and their various bimetallic organ i
zattons. With the means they have
at band they will send jut as much
literature a-i possible during the
next four years. They arc even
no oeginning preparations for an
attempt to capture the House in 1898
Their speakers will be encouraged
to preach their doctrines on ail oc
casions. Even Mr. U.-yan has said
that he proposes to devote his time
for the next four years to preaching
the doctrine of bimetallism Sena

on good authority, keep up the fight

THE BANNER COUNTY.
Old Johnston Still Holiis the Honor Her
Majority 1.600.
Johnston county is still the ban
ner county of North Carolina's tem
porarily terrified democracy. While
the democrats in other counties may
be terrorized or terrified the John
ston quality is as game as of old.
Johnston has held the banuor for
the past four years and to the
Democrats of Johnston is the honor
four more years.
Johnston gave Cy Watson 1,600
majority, which is the largest given
by any county to the Democracy's
courageous-standard bearer. Several
other counties have disputed with
Johnston the claim of being the ban
ner connty, but Hon. E. W. Pou
Informs us that Johnston leads all
other counties and will keep the
banner in her possession.
