IN THE EDITORIAL. NOTES. The Winston Republican keeps harping on the prbsperous times which we are having under the be nign administration ofWm. McKin ley, Jr., the gold-standard and the Dingley I tariff. The Republican's desire for prosperity must be a very moderate one if the present condi tions satisfy it. We would hate to see the conditions which it would call hard times under a Republican administration. Some of the papers are trying to resurrect from his political grave one David B. Hill, who in Demo cracy's hour of need crawled into his hole and pulled his hole in after him. This is a useless task as far as the country at large is concern ed. The party will no longer stand tha dictation of New York straddle bugs. The next victory Democra cy wins will mean (something more than a change of office holders. Loyal Democrats should never forgetthat it was Grover Cleve land, who, after receiving the loy al and enthusiastic support of the party three times twice success fullyfor the Presidency, bolted the party the very first time it nom inated another man. He. not only bolted the ticket, but threw the en tire influence of an administration which was elected by Democrats to the election of the Republican nomi nee. They should also remember that his peculiar friends supported him in his party treachery. It is given out that President Mc Kinley and Secretary of the Treas ury Gage have a plan for so-called currency reform ready to be .sub mitted to Congress next Monday. Ten to one, it is of the kind which the bankers have been recommend ing which reforms it the wroug way. Any change in the banking laws of the country which still further places thecurrencv of the country in the power of the National banks will be a great detriment rather than a benefit. Any substitution of interest-bearing bonds as a basis for National bank circulation for the legal tender notes of the govern ment, which bear no interest and circulate at par, will De robbing a long suffering people for the benefit of a few money lords.. The financial reform which our government needs is the free coinage of silver as well as gold and the resumption of the right, which has been loaned to the banks, by the government of issuing the necessary paper money itself. No other "reform" stands any chance of passing the free silver Senate and the people will see to it that the next House will be in the same notion. So it seems that sugar and coffee are to advance in price. The Ar puckles and Havemeyers will stop their "war" upon each other and again enter into a combination to force up the prices of these two arti ctes of prime necessity to the farm er. With combinations to force him to pay big prices for what he buys and a monster combination to de press the price of his cotton, the lot of the Southern farmer is a hard one. These combinations thrive on a depleted and insufficient circula tion of money by making it impos sible lor business rivals to secure the necessary ready money o do business in competition with them Increase the volume of money by the free coinage of silver and take away the power of the banks to con tract their circulation at will, and these combinations will be harder to be formed and will be shorter-liv ed when formed, because money will be easier secured by rivals who will want to share in the enormous profits of the business. Easy mon ey makes competition and competi tion is the life of trade. If the Democratic part3' of North Carolina expects to win iecruits from the Populists or even to hold its present membership, it must speak out in no uncertain sound on the money question, it must give the State to understand-in such manner that he who runs may read that it is done with Cleveland and Clevelandism. The same party can not hold .with Bryan and Cleveland at the same time and-hold any con giderable number of the sincere ad Jierents of either, Clevelandism advocates the contraction of the currency, bond issues in the time of peace and the ever increasing value of the dollar by reason oruch cur rency contraction and bond issues; Bryanism advocates free silver, an income tax and increased prices for the products of the farm and of la bor, to be brought about by the ex pansion of the currency consequent upon free silver coinage. The two doctrines are as wide apart as the poles. A party policy which seeks a middle ground between' them can only bring disaster and party dis- honor. The day for Democratic 1 $traHdles has jjast. ; Local News Mr. Dyke Neill, of near Amity; sold out his 'property last . Friday, and Tuesday, he and family left for Texas. The Dramatic Club will present 'Mr. Bob" next month. This is good news to our people, who al ways eujo' the plays of this popu- ar club. A little son of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Cashion died last Thursday at the home of his parents, near the depot, of measles and pneumonia. The parents have the sympathy of their neighbors in their sad bereavement.

Wilson for the possession of the office of chairman of the State Railroad Commission has been set for hearing in the Supreme Court on December 4th. The court set this day, though Wilson's attorneys protested against it. The case of Pearson vs.- Otho Wilson was tried in Wake Superior Court two weeks before the case was tried here, and, though the Su preme Court sits in Raleigh, the case from Iredell is now docketed and the case from Raleigh is not. This shows that our Statesville law yers are hustlers as it was Air. Caldwell's home counsel, Messrs. Armfield & Turner and General A. D. Cowles, who approved the ap? pellant,s case and hurried the trans cript to Raleigh, -- v . Mpeclul Meeting of Tbe Toanij Coiiiiniss lanrrs The county commissioners held a special meeting on last Thursday. Chairman Hill and Commissioner White were present. It was, ordered that R. P.

Ivey is to once more haye charge of a work in Cald well will be welcome news to the Met hodists all over the county. Al though his charge (the Lfenoir cir cuit) will not cover the territory he formerly served, we've no doubt many of those outside of his charge will make it a point 1 to attend his appointments nearest to them. 1 No other preacher ever had such a hold on the Methodists of Caldwell. We extend to him a hearty welcome back to our midst. Lenoir Topic. IHooresville News. Mooresvllle Record. i Mr. John Freeze is quite sick-at the residence of his mother. Work on the A. R.

Mr. Fife, we learn, is not so vio lent in denunciation as he once was. Hard Times and High Railroad Freights. Patron and Gleaner: Drummers who come here say that trade is dul ler now than it has been for twenty years. Some of them have been called in.

Bauman's court on Friday last was a man apparent ly 20 or 25 years old dressed in fe male apparel. He hails from below Cairo somewhere and is dressing in such a garb, so we are. told, because it is cheaper than ordinary men's clothing.
