Gold Stfttidarrf DeniWfrHt.
The Gold Standard Democrat of
New Berne to the number of one
hundred or more, together with u
goodly number of Democrats who
do not agree with them, met at the
court house last night, for the pur
pose of organizing a "Sound Money"'
club.
On motion of Mr. ('has. Reizcn
stein, W. W. Clark. Ksq., was made
temporary chairman and S. M.
Brinson, temporary Secretary.
On assuming the chair, Mr. Clark
made an eloquent and frequently
applauded speech in which he jus
tified the action of himself and his
associates in dissenting from the
financial proposition formulated by
the Chicago Convention.
He sought to prove that the po
sition assumed by the Gold Stan
dard Democrats was predicated upon
and iustifiod bv the teachings of
4
Jefferson and Jackson and that
their guidance in all matters Demo
cratic was the correct thing and
that hence true Democracy could
only be found in following these
apostles in this as in other matters.
To the followers of the Chicago
utterance he said, "gentlemen, you
have the banner, but we have the
principles, and we do not propose
because of a seeming temporary ob
scurity of the chances of true Dem
ocratic success, to surrender them.'
(in motion of Mr. Reizeustein the
following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
The honor of the Datiorj as well as pre
scrvation oi the principles nf the Demo
cracy are at stake and we invite individ
ual DemocrHts of North Carolina who ore
loyal to their faiih to aid us in this move
ment. We have every confidence that the
Democrats who have year after year held
aloft the banner of Jefferson ian Democra
cy and to whom repeated d. feats mejint
only increase' 1 zeal and effort for the true
Jailh, will not now surrender their princi
ples. We appeal to the patriotism and
loyalty of the individual Democrats ot
the State to act at once. The time for
action is now and the Democrats of North
Carolina roust net promptly to aid ia this
patriotic work which will save the na
tional honor and preserve indefinitely the
faith of the party.
1 We are in favor of gold and silver as
the standard money of the country. We
are opposed as a permanent financial
policy to gold noonometHism on the one
hand or to silver monometllisin on the
other. The pledge contained in the reptal
of the Sherman law. which repealing act
was passed by a Demociatic Congress
and approved by a Democratic President
shou'd be faithfully carried out wherein
it was declared that "the fforts of the
Government should he steadily diric'ed
to the establishment of such a sate system
of bimetallism as will maintain at nil
times the. equal power of every dollar
eoined or issued by the United States in
the markets and in the payment of debts.
Wc believe that such bimetallism, to
which the nation is solemnly pledged, cat!
only be safely secured and permanently
maintained through the concurrent action
of the leading nations of the world.
Neither this country ojr any other coun
try independent ar.d alone is able to
maintain It, and jt would be folly to
attempt if. BeiDg no convinced we are
opposed to the I'ree and unlimited coinage
of silver in th absence oi tne co-operation
of other great nations. We declare
uiir belief that any attempt upon the part
of the United 8tut s alone to epter upon
the txperimeut of free silver coiuage
would not only prove disastrous to our
rinunci8 but would retard or entirely
prevent the establishment of international
bimetallism.
Until international co-opeiation for bi
metallism can b secured to which end
all our efforts as a Government and as a
people should be in good faith directed,
we favor the rigid maintenacoe of the
present gold standard as essential to the
preservation of our natiodal ciedit, the
redemption of our public pledges and the
keeping inviolate of our country's honor.
We insist that all our paper and silver
currency shall be kept absolutely at a
parity with gf"ld.
8. The Democratic party has ever been
and still is the hard-money patty, and it
will preserve that record. It is opposed
to legal tender paper money as a part of
our permanent financial system, and it
refuses to sanction any paper currency in
convertible wjth coin. The United States
ootes and Treasury notes being in fact
debts of the Government, should be grad
ually paid off, retired and cancelled. This
should and must be done in such a man
ner as to cause no contraction of the circu
lating money of the country. So long as
ihey exist, however, anil are permitted to
circulate as money they should be redeem
able at all times upon demand in the
standard monay of the country.
The Democratic party is pledgee to
the resolute maintenance of the public
credit at all times and under all circum
stances, and it is therefore opposed to
the repeal of ally existing substitute which
enables the Secretary ot the Treasury, by
tl.e issue of bonds or otherwise, to pro
vide an adequate lund for the redemption
in gold of our paper obligations when
ever necessaiy.
On motion the chairman appoin
ted the following committee on
permanent organization, who are to
report at a subsequent meeting:
Wm. J. Pitt, J. II. Hackburn,
Dr. N. II. Street. Dr. V. W.
Hughes and T. W. Dewey to which
the name of the chairman of the
meeting was added.
On motion the club was named,
the Jefferson and Jacksori Demo
cratic Club.
On motion the meeting ad
journed.

Services At the Cntbolie
C'bnrch.
A very attractive and pleasing
program of music was rendered at
St. Paul's Catholic Church Sunday
avening by Prof. K.J., Chas. M. and
John F. Weber, who are stopping
temporarily in the city.
The Vespers were beautifully
chanted, and the hymn preceeding
the Elevation of the Host in the
Benediction, was the most solemn
and impressive that wo have ever
listened to.
During the service, Rev. Father
Edward who has recently taken
charge of St. Paula Parish, made
an interesting address, in which he
extended an earnest invitation to
non-Catholics to attend the services
of his church, assuring them that
they would always meet with a cor
dial welcome. Father Edward said
further that it was his intention to
deliver a series of sermons ve.'y .soon
in which the doctrine r.itsSsnd

Thus the the entire State from

dispensation of providence to take from
us one of our brightest ic-weis, one that

a Christian's fortitudeand died trusting in
a sweet ana loving Jesus, ana our loss is
her eternal gain. She was a member of
the Presbyterian church and did a great
deal to aid the Christian cause and fold
ing tier arms across h' r breast she went
to sleep in the arms of Jesus.
Dearest friend thou hast left us.
And thy loss we deeply feel,
It is God who has bereft us,
He will all our sorrows heal.

Brimscine Qurea Diphtheria,
A few yearg ago, when diptheria
was raging in England, a gentlemen
accompanied the celebrated Dr.Field
on his rounds to witness the so call
ed "wonderful cures" which lie per
formed, while the patients of others
were dropping on all sides. All he
took with him was powder of sul
phur and a quill, and with these he
cured every patient without excep
tion that is, he put a teaspoonful of
flo.ur of brimstone into a wineglass
of water, and stirred it with his fin
ger instead of a spoon, as sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with
water, and on the sulphur becoming
well mixed he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger, as brimstone kills
every species of fungus in man,
beast, and plant in a few minutes.
Instead of spitting out tha gargle,
he recommended the swallowing of
it, and, in extreme cases, in which
he had been called just iu the nick
of time, when the fangus was too
nearly closing to allow the gargling,
he blew the sulphur through a qu
into the throat, and after the fungus
had shrunk to allow of it, then the
gargling. He never lost a patient
from diphtheria. Or if the patient
cannot gargle, take a live coal, put
it on a shovel, and sprinkle a spoon
ful or two of the brimstone at a time
upon it, let the sufferer inhale it,
holding the head over it, and the
fungus will die. London Lancet.
Affaire d'honuenr.
There is in the under current of
rumor some whisperings of a duel
which is to tako place near Xew
Berne. So far great secrecy has
been maidtained but the principals
have been a little indiscreet and it
is feared that the authorities will
attempt to interfere. One of the
gentlemen concerned was practicing
with his pistol yesterday. If both
parties shoot so well as he the
affair will be dangerous only to out
siders. WONDERFUL are the cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and yet they
are simple and natural. Hood's Sarsa
parilla makes PURE BLOOD.
TypHold frever.
The fact that nearly twice as many
counties reported typhoid fever this
month as did last suggests the advis
ability of calling attention again to
the importance on the part of both
physicians and householders of care
fully looking after the means of pre
venting its spread. When it is re
membered that 50,000 people die
annually in the Uuited States from
this disease, of which North Caro
lina's quota would be about 1,000,
to say nothing of constitutions shat
tered, of the suffering, anxiety,
expense and loss of time, the grav
ity of the subject is apparent and no
excuse for repeatedly directing the
attention of both the profession and
the people to their duty in relation
thereto is uecessary. Enteric fever
is by long odds the most fatal of all
the preventable diseases which occur
within our borders. And it is un
doubtedly preventable, in large
measure certainly, and, too, by very
simple and inexpensive methods.
That the drinking water is the me
dium of transmission in an immense
majority of the cases, and that the
water is contaminated by the undis
infected bowel discharges of another
case is practically demonstrated. So
that the preventive measures neces
sary may be summed up in an im
mediate change to a water supply
clearly beyond the risk of contami
nation, or boiling the home supply,
and in promptly and thoroughly
disinfecting the bowel discharges
and the soiled linen. Simple and
cheap methods of doing this are
clearly set forth in the "Instruc
tions for Quarantine and Disinfec
tion," as well as in the pamphlet
entitled "The Importance of Disin
fecting the Bowel Discharges in
Typhoid Fever," both of which
have been widely distributed by the
Board. But they have necessarily
reached only a very small propor
tion of the people, and then in moat
instances when, there being no ty
phoid or other infectious disease
present in the family or immediate
neighborhood of the reader, they
would probably make comparatively
little impression. If, however, the
enemy is in sight, or, still more, if
he has already attacked one of our
own dear ones, we would read with
rriuch. more care $nd appreciation.
and earnestly put into energetic
action, the instructions given for
conquering the dread invader.
With this idea in mind we have
mailed to those superintendents re
porting a number of cases of typhoid
a package of the pamphlet on that
subject and we earnestly hope that
they will see to their prompt dis.
tribution among the families having
thp diaesa and those near by and
liable to beoome infected. Nq also
beg every one of our readers who
knows of a case of typhoid fever in
his neighborhood to send us the
address of the head of the family
that we may mail him direct perti
nent sanitary literature, or inform
us how m,a,n.y copies he will person
ally distribute. We are extremely
anxious to strike while the iron is
hot, that we may make as deep an
impression as possible; but we can't
strike the iron .if we do not know
where it ia. Won't you do this, and
not improbaWy by writing a few
lines on a postal card save one or
more lives?
