No Hoan & Shelton CLOTHIERS AND FTJRNJSHERS orld. EDITORIAL. MITES. In all the interviews on the re- gults of the late elections we have seerLaiothing from that noblest Ro man of them all, Colonel L. De la Croix, of Oxford He was to be our Moses here in North Carolina to lead us back, into the Democratic party, just as soon as Cleveland would is sue permits for us to be received. The Colonel should not suffer us to grope i darkness, but should favor us with his advice and wisdom in these benighted times. All this rot that is appearing in the papers about Cleveland's kid and what its name should be makes us tired. It would make us equally as tired were it Bryan's child. Af ter all of the sickly twaddle about "Baby McKee" during the Harrison administration and of "Baby Ruth" during the campaign of 1892 and the ensuing Cleveland administra tion, the country will forgive Presi dent McKinley many shortcomings, if he will continue not to inflict up on it any "baby" nuisance. . , One of the amusing things of life is to hear one of these -gold-bugs, who believes in no doctrine of the Democratic party, who gave the party nominees last year only a partial support and who rejoiced at the defeat of the party's nominee for President, calling loyal Democrats or Democratic papers, which keep the full counsel of the party, "so called Democrats" or "so-called Democratic papers." For pitiful idiocy such expressions are only equalled by those or the insane per son who imagines everyone crazy but himself. The Democratic speakers last fall told the people what they might ex pect if the gold standard was con tinued. They told them Jhat their products would continue to depreci ate in value, that their lands would not improve in price and that their labor would still bring them only a bare subsistence. The gold stand- hard was continued and all these things have come to pass. The. men and papers that prophesied ten-cent cotton are now being put to shame by about half that price for our mam money crop. lhe long her alded prosperity has not come. What a stubborn fellow this man Bryan is ! It was given out by our wisest and host North Carolina newspapers just after the election in 1896 that he could not hold- his popularity andwnte books at the same time. These same papers ad- vised him, as he loved his political life, to go into his hole and pull his hole in after him. They quoted some antiquated saying of a hanger-on of England's effete Court that ran something like this: "Oh that mine enemy would write a book!" They gave us daily and semi-weekly installments of what was going to happen to poor Bryan, and the tears which they shed over, his prospect ive aowmau, were line unto tne tears of a mother for her first born. But Brvan heeded them not. His book appeared and he continued to speak for his cause. "And, strange to say, it is conceded by almost all people that he is stronger today than before. The Landmark of last Friday said that it had received a letter nom a Democratic "county chairman in which lie said that great narm is being done in his county by the charge that the gold-bugs are trying to capture the Democratic party in that it is alienating Populists who are disposed to return to the party pn the basis of the Chicago platform So that the verv fear of gold-bug control keeps the Populists from re turning to the Democratic party What will our chances be to get them if that fear is made the reality? Now the Landmark holds up its hands in holy horror that anyone should ever have credited it with a desire that the Democratic party should abandon that platform. Then what has it meant by its attacks up? on that platform ever since its adopt ion? H hat has It meant by its ridi cule of that platform and its advo cates? The Landmark's profession that it is willing for the reafiirma tion of the Chicago platform re minds us of the man who said to his adversary in a quarrel, "I don't want any fuss, but what you told I was a d d lie " Its attacks upon the Democratic platform and lead; ers have been simply -Jove licks." "Whrnnit. loveth it chasteneth." Our Populist frjends who are dis l rvr" ; - ------ f ' rftt.urn to the Democratic party need hesitate DO longer, me The people are "onto" the gold-bug game, me goiu-uugs, uisuuvcicu, now declare, like the darkey who was naue-ht In' the hen roost, that . ry tliPir "werea meanin' of no harm and a hopin of no hajd feelins.

He knew how to keep silent in ten languages when his oppon ents were begging him to talk dur ing the recent campaign. He said nothing beyond his declarations in accepting the nomination. lhe re sult showed his wisdom. Now that he has been elected, he is still not very communicative, sav ing only that he will carry put the excellent platform upon which he was nominated, It is so common for Mugwumps, Republicans and Democrats of the Cleveland school to forget the platforms after their election and l'epudiate the men who elected them, that it is refreshing to see a Democrat of the old school declare that his only aim is to fulfill his own and his party's pledges. Judge Van Wyck also delights Democratic hearts when he declares he will appoint none but Democrats to office, The Democrats elected him and there are as tit men in the ranks of his party as elsewhere. He is right when he says he will put none but Democrats on guard. Mugwumps and bolters have no place in a DeiSoeratic administra tion.

King, a young man who is related to some of the best .fami lies ia Providence, is chartred with being a smuggler.

This yacht was sunk off Cape Cod last June while returning from an alleged i smugglincr trip to Nova Scotia. Tmy. according to th mnfpssinn nf thA cantnln nf tho "TAmnn-t" fitted out the craft, and taking some thing over $2,000 with him, went to i - Yarmouth, N. S. . He gave themon- ey to the captain, who, with one of his men, went to Halifax, purchased a quantity of sulphonal, phenacetine and other drugs on a list furnished DY mS- A arge quantity wasasio purchased in Yarmouth. After seeing the goods on board Km-, it is charged, sailed for Bos to Portland, Me., where most of the drugs were expressed to Kins home in this city. The captain left the yacht at Portland, taking along the balance of the drugs as baggage. Then the yacht sailed for home. She sank, however, in broad daylight off Cape Cod. ! ' The crew don't know what caused her to sink, but believed her plates opened. Kiug concealed the drugs in his College Hill home, in the shadow of Brown I University, but wras unable to ; dispose of them as readily as he had anticipated, so he divided them up, part being left at Greenwich and the balance at Paw- tucket and Woonsocket. Finally he got worried, and, fearing that the authorities would detect him, went to his lawyer and made a clean breast of it all. The latter told him to tell the customs officer, and he did so. The seizure followed, but the facts did not come out until a formal condemnation of the goods was made. The friends and rela tives of the young man are shocked at the disclosures, l .

Loyal Peyotlon, Salisbury Snn. Mss Minnie Stirewalt, daughte r of Ruf-.u Stirewalt, of near Ebenez er, this county, was quite recently taken to the State Hospital at Mor- ganton. For a long time she had been afilicted and some time since her mind became affected and it was thought best to have her taken to the hospital where she could be pro perly attended. ; Rev. G. H. Cox. relates to us a I pathetic incident, or series of incid ents, in connection with Miss Stire wait's Jtfflietion. She was engaged to a yo ng man some years ago and thev would have married - but for the affliction which came upon her Four r oars ago this young man, who wa i working in Concord, be came very ill. He was taken with fever vvaich it was thought would prove fatal. But he was brought back tS health. The physician at tending stated that the presence of the voung lady and! her attentions is what saved the sick man's life. And when the lady became afflict ed ano lost her mind the young man became, if possible. more lral in his devotion than ever. He.was with her ; often and paid every attention possible. Last week he accompanied her to Morgan ton and saw that she would be pro ;-orlv cared for in the State Hospital. KLIT IIKKVOWOF .SIL.ENCK. St. Louis, Nov. 9.

When Miss Schieber took Lc-i oath of ' silence she was seamstress, 27 years old. She began to over vork herself, and1" her sister thought she was trying to forget an unhaopv love affair. But Kate , de- clined t a discuss her trouble, and Lu inBicr'a rpfprpn tn th( - matter exhausted her patience, she - exclaimed one day: "There I U rievep gpeafe to you nor nnv nn,-. olsfi ao-ain if I live to be 50 years old." Since then she has not uttered word, except once, about six years ago, wh.?n she answered "No to question; " Now her reason is affect ed and her relatives are anxious to have her Droperly cared for. She - : was sent to the hospital today. N. Y. Sun. " .. . Correspondence Result la Marriage Chatham Record: '! i - ! Quite a romantic marriage took . place near here last Thursday night; The groom was Mr. James ; W. Gil liam, an industrious fnrmAr nf thio township, and the bride was Mrs. Frances D.' Middaugh, of Westfield, New York. ' He was a widower -and she was a widow and they never met until the day before their mar riage. A few months ago, Mr. Gilliam saw an advertisement in the Atlanta Constitution, of some woman for- a husband, which he answered. A correspondence began between them and she sent him her photograph which he liked so much that he pro posed marriage. She assented con- fditionally that if he" would send her $30 to pay her traveling expen ses she "would come here and marry him, if on ja personal inspection she was satisfied with him and his sur roundings. Accordingly he sent her the money and she arrived here on last Wednesday night, and was (met by Mr. Gilliam who prosecuted his suit so vigorously and success fully that they were married the nextnight by C. C. Hamlet, J. P. Quite'romantic, wasn't it? '-iUoautebanka and Humbugs.' Fayettev ille Observer: The position of the Observer viz: xnat tne onlv honest mnpso fm- those former leaders who reieeted the Chicago platform, w;as to retire from pretensions to leadership, or 1 else to go over to the Republicans- is receiving endorsement on-all sides now. . Says the Washington. Post: Thus the New York Sun heads an article, which we here reproduce. elating to the downfall of the Cuckoo movement in Kentucky: , Kentucky having been carried by the .Democratic party on the Chicago platform, the Courier-Jourri- " of Louisville, whose brilliant fight against the Bryanite trans formation of the Democratic party will long be remembered, yesterday surrendered and announced' that it is again to be Democratic, with a ittle dissent, perhaps, and a little remonstrance against the party de crees, but opposition, never! The - National Democratic party of so called gold Democrats will soon lose even its name. "The Republican party, the party of public credit .and conservatism, and the Democratic party, of radi calism and revolution, whose limits are unforeseen and unforeseeable, divide all serious political sentiments in the United States. Differences of opinion musti)e expressed through one or the other of these organiza tions, and the debates of other par ies, or candidates without parties, will rank in public importance with the prize speaking in corteges and schools. A man must be a Republi can or a Democrat ; anda" Democrat is a Bryanite. "Mugwumps, Cuckoos, stuffed prophets, unifying forces, and their ike, take notice!" We do not know so much about v the Courier-Journal's fight having been a "brilliant" one. In our opin ion it was a demonstration of party treachery and Democratic folly. There was nothing brilliant about the Indianapolis, movement of last year, or about its authors and pro- . phets and apostles. The only hpnest and consistent men who oroke away from the Democracy because of the Chicago platform went into the Re publican party. Those who refused to do that, and contented themsel ves with pretending to be Demo crats and to represent the Demo cratic party, were mountebanks and humbugs. They polled nothing but a crank vote, and succeeded only in making themselves ridiculous. We quite agree with the Sun, however, when it proclaims the dis appearance, in Kentucky, at least, of this absurd and pestiferous fac tion, and we heartily congratulate Kentucky upon so halcyon a ' con summation. There has not been in the whole history of American po litics so offensive and deplorable a chapter as that which records "the impudent pretensions and abomina ble mischief-making of these so call ed "National Democrats." They have been national nuisances and charlatans, and all right-rninded men will rejoice when they are snubbed and discredited and set a side. ' ' ' Neatly 8U, Brather Deal .
