SOUNDING A NOTKOF rtARNING.
In what we are about to sar we do
not disclaim all personal fealing, but
we are none the less prompted by a
desire to promote the party welfare.
The call for the .Democratic pri
maries and convention may be found
in this issue, and with their ljear ap
proach the prospect of the usual bi
enniarditturbance in the party coun
cila becomes manifest. Unless the
hh-tory of the several past county
conventions fai's to repeat itse'f this
year a fight wil .have to be made
over, the personality of the-: self -same
harpy of party discord,. John i'R, Wei -ter.
, . " : " '
The" anti-Webster ites of Rocking
ham county, who yieli to none in
their devotion to the party, ask noth
ing for themselves. They are not
ma le up of plae-hnntera and imc-aer-vers
and fiey stand now where they
have always stood. But while they
ask nothing for themselves they do
ask because they haye a right to ask,
and ask expecting that their wishes
be respected, that the name .t f John
R. Webster be eliminated as a per
sonal issue tj disturb tin tranquillity
of Democratic deliberation- and inter
fere with the efforts to secure party
harmony.
There cn be no doubt that the
fight of two years ago to have the Dem
ocratic convention givo iU endorse
ment to Webster for Congress will be
renewed. Two years ago, through the
secretivenesa of Webster and his par
tisans and the supineness of hi oppo
nents, a Democratic convention came
very near committing tho infamy of
instructing for him for Congress.
The danger which was then only
providentially averted threatens us
ia the same shape again a danger
so nearly realized which should
quicken our sense of feu1 this year
and cause us to anticipate and avoid
that which by indifference we invite.
The reasons which moved us two
years ago to repudiate Webster have
lost none of their potency. No one
cin be excused for thinking th'tt he
is any better this year than he was
two, four, six or eight yens ago.
The best years of his life have been
spent in disorganizing the party
whose confidence and support he now
solicits. An unhallowed personal
ambition moved him to attempt th
disintegration of the -party in this
county. A motive no lets conse
crated inspires him now to advocate
the rehabilitation of the Democracy.
Self-preservation causes him to cling
to the party which he inwardly hates.
The same law of nature would make
him kick it from under h s feet into
perdition whea the wires of h8 am
bition and the party welfare became
' crossed. .. . V';.; . .
Treacherous as the lips of a volcano,
his capacity for danger is measured
only by bis opportunities for mis
ciuei maKing. At neart tne enemy
of the jarty whos cont mpt ho has
earned and whose confidence he has
f rfeiud time and again, he it unsaf
in any capacity of .arty le Tdership
lie has prWen falsj t i evtry legisla
tive trust reposed in him ni d no pat ty
. or cause can expect to pr-ftt by his
identification v ith it.
The effort to fo;st W lister upon
the Democratic patty, will be m t I j
a determined resistance aud it is lar
b tier that it com for - the conver.
tion than - aft-irwards Purity in
P litics, even in individual cases, ig
no longer an iridescent dream, the
author of the vicious proportion hav
ing been relegated to private life.
Aside from Webster's record as a
Democrat, he is a man of the lowest
order of morality and the cheapest
kind of ability. The cons dentioi or
his name in anv connection for a po
sition of public honor and trubt -l y
the Democratic party is an act by
which it discredits its own decency
and dignity and offers an insult to its
own intelligence and integr ity.
' Let Democrats only, having the
party's -beet interests at heart, be
placed on guard in the primaries and
Webster's name no longer be a dis
quieting factor in our deliberations.
TIMS GUBERNATORIAL. SITUATION IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
Ever since the nominations of the
Republican convention were an
nounced speculation in Democratic
circles has been active as to who
should load the State ticket in the
coming campaign. The consensus of
opinion has cry stalked around two
favorites for the gubernatorial nomi
nation Col Julian S. Carr and Judge
Walter Clark. -
The following letter to the editor of
tho Charlotte Observer, which ap
peared in yesterday's issue of that
paper, indicates that Judge Clark
does not desire to enter the race:
Raleigh, N. 0., June 6, 1806.
Jos. P. Caldwell, Esq t
My Dear Sir: I see from your ed
itorial in today's issue that you and
my good friend, Mr. Henderson, mis-
undenstma my position, Personally
and by letter, I nave for months an
swered every ' interrogatory that I
did not desire the . nomination, and
those who know me will believe that
I mean exactly what I eay. I have
asked my friends not to present my
name, and I am sure it will not be
before the convention. Do not mis
understand me no man esteems
more highly than I the high honor
being Governor of North Carolina,hor
the honor which, this year, I feel
sure will not fall short of it, that of
being the nominee of the Democratic
party for the position; but my finan
cial circumstances win not justify my
entering the race unless the proppects
of success were more hazardous, and
the services I could render far greater
than tney are.
Taking tne extract you print in
connection witn tne whe le le' tr you
will see that what 1 . mesnt was sim
ply that I had' never shirked a duty.
and never would, but that in this
fight Wi had plenty of men who could
lead the party to victory and that: I
was willing to go anywhere as a pri
vate in the ranks, if need be; and that
if the cause which I honestly and
earnestly believe is the cause of the
people succeeded, it was a matter of
no sort of importance where I was in
the line, la saying I would, work
anywhere, I did not mean I would
like to be in the lead, but simply
that I was willing to do what I could,
if only "trotting along under the
wagon," to show my good will.
I did not expect a word of my let?
ter to Mr. Henderson to be - printed
It expresses views which are differ
ent from those you entertain but if
you desire it, the whole letter is at
your service, Mr. " Henderson being
wulrng. I write you because I am
unwilling that my friends through
out tne state snouia think for one
momeni that I had not been entirely
frank and sincere in asking that my
name.enouia not go betore the con
vention not from any fear of the
result at the poll", but for the personal
reaFODS i nave statea.
Most truly yours,
- Walter Clark.
In connection with this it is inter
esting to publish the statement in the
Winston Sentinel of Saturday that
"it has authoritative- information
that CoL J. S. Carr would not de
cline the nomination for Governor if
hope of harmony, but they are no
longer to be trifled with. The reform
demanded by them is one which in
its very nature and purpose will not
admit of compromise and modifica
tion. The free and unlimited coinage
of silver is what is wanted and .noth
ing will furnish a substitute for it.
Its friends advocate this issue as a
whole and not in part and rely upon
the justice, economy and philosophy
of their reform in its entirety as their
strength. ' ' ''?.
Writing upon this line a leading
German: bimetallism refers to the
futility of compromise measures in
behalf of silver:
Now. the question is, whether the
great revolution which- in that event,

stalled by common measures adopted
by the nations for the rehaDuitation
of silver. On this question we have
been at work during a quarter of a
century. The people of the United
States were the hrst to unaerstana is
and to favor international bimetal
Item. And yet. in my opinion, it is
mainly the fault of the United btatts
that bimetallism has not yet been
brought about. The Americans ig
nored the great fundamental laws of
circulation in trying to save silver by
the experiments ot tne ciana ana
Sherman laws. What silver wanted
was not the demand, for that is un
limited. Silver has never ye, lacked
purchasers. What has been lacking
since the abolition of the double i
standard is the fixed place of ex
change between silver and gold, which
can only be created by an unlimited
demand for both precious metal at a
fixed ratio of values, llence, limited
coinages or limited purchases, such

from 1878 to 1894, are 8b ogether in
adequate. They, wrought barm to
the bimetallist cause, because their
failure was exploited by . the gold
party, and because they stimulated
the silver production. Had the
United States declined every compro
mise and solely aimed - at inter
national bimetallism, the silver de
preciation and the scarcity of "go'd

STEVENSON'S MISTAKE.
The Honorable Adlai Ewing Steven
son would be unquestionably his
party's strongest man for the Presi
dency had he identified himself more
actively and prominently with the
crusade for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver while he has gener
ally been accredited to the silver
side we remember having feen from
him no positive and explicit avowal
of his financial views. Garrulity is
not becoming in a public man, but it
should be remembered that there is a
time for spaech as well as for silence.
The Honorable Adlai Ewing Steven
son has carried reticence too far.
The long installments of silence
indulged in by him give color
to the impression : that he
either has do decided intelligent
views on the currency question or
that he has not the courage to express'
them, perhaps both. Stevenson has
made the mistake of keeping mum
too long, while others were doing
battle for the cause of silver. It is a
mistake which may cost him the
Presidency. He has lost in the esti
mation of his party by not favoring
it with some expression of opinion
upon the greatest of public issues. In
many respects he stands before the
country as an admirable man-
thoughtful, discreet and conservative

was a : favorite saying
of
old man Horace Greeley that "the
way to resume is to resume."
The way to secure financial reform-
complete, practical ana satitfactory-
is to reform -to institute a sweeping,
radical, - revolutionary reform. No
compromise nw a-mres, i:o cowardly
makeshifts, will be tolerated again.
Nothing short 5 of the absolute free

Concessions have been made which
will never be repeated. When the
unconditional repeal of the purchas
ing clause of the Sherman act was se
cured : at the behest . of the present
President it was upon the distinct
understandingwith the great masses
of the people through their reprsen
tatives in Congress that the repeal
was to be followed by legislation fav
orable to the white money. That leg
islation has never materialized and
the people are indignant. All of
tbe people can be fooled some of the
time and some of the people can be
fooltd all of the time, but "you cant
fool all of the people. Their eyes are
opened by the demonetization act of
1873, by the insincere promises of the
unconditional repeal people and by
the contemptible methods of the gold-

THE U!f ITED STATES AND SILVER,
The man who . asserts that this
country is not able, s ngle-handed
and alone, to establish and maintain
successfully bimetallism, has studied
to no purpose, if, indeed, he has stu
died at all, the infinite resources and
the illimitable possibilities cf the
United Stat s. To arrive at the ab
surdity of such a proposition is by
making a comparison -with the pre
posterous statement that a man worth
$20,000 would not be good on a note
for $100. Mr. Carlisle remarked m
one of the speeches of his better days
that the world would be fortunate,
indeed, if the production of the pre
cious metals kept step with the in
crease of our population and volume
of business. Even with the imaginary
disadvantages which the gold stan
dard people are fond of conjuring in
their minds it is impossible to point
to a silver-using country that is not
n w upon a comparatively prosper
ous basis. But even in ihe face of a
complete failure upon the part of a
second-class nation to establish - and
profit by the double standard no rea
son is advanced why a rich and pow
erful country like the United States
should not carry the experiment to a
successful conclusion. The produc
tion of silver when compared with
the capacity of this country for ab
sorbing it in the volume of its trade
operations is so small as to appear al
most infinitesmaL -
But in this great movement which
means so much for huminity it will
not be necessary for the United
States to go alone. The eyes of the
world are turned upon us and we are
expected, as a progressive and ag
gressive people, with an almost prim
itive field of development, tbe capa
bilities of which stagger the imagina
tion, to take the initial step in mone
tary Teform. With this country
committed to such a policy the cause
of free silver would be restored to
the position it occupied in 1873 when
it was surreptitiously demonetized.
Committed to such a policy we
would be joined by Mexico and
the countries south of us. Gtrmauy
and France are eager to unite with
us in financial reform; practical in
ternational bimetallism would be in
sight and England would have to
acquiesce or have her commercial
supremacy wrested from her.
Dr. Otho Arondt, the editor of a
leading German paper, and a member
of the Prussian House of Deputies,
and of the German Silver Commis
sion of 1894, writes most interestingly
of bimetallism and refers thus to tbis
phase of the question:
When I first joined in the battle of
the standards, in 1880, 1 tried to show
that the international double stand
ard does not pre suppose the partici
pation of EDglana, Dur that on tne
contrary it would be more advantage
ous for Germany, France and the
United States if tney adopted bimet
allism without England. Either a
fixed parity between 6ilver and gold
would then be attained, and then Eng
land would have no advantage; or
gold would remain at a premium,
and then England would be the land
of the highest money value, to which
every one would bene anxious to sell
and from which no one-would wdi
ingly buy. Her economic decline
would thus be inevitable.
Tbe duty devolves upon the people
of this country to see silver -restored
to its time-honored place as a money
metal. Not only does the responsibil
ity rest upon us for ourselves, but
other nations look to us as the pioneer
to inaugurate international - bimetal
lism and bring abou tuniversal mone
tory reform.

his assumption of the responsibilities
of his office by inquiring into the
condition of the prisoners claiming to
be Americans held by the bpamsh
Government held m Habana. As a
result of hi3 investigations he has
aked tbat better quarters be assign
ed to certain of these unfortunates
and that certain others be forthwith
released from confinement. These
reauests will undoubtedly be com
plied with, but they will as undoubt
edly v raise an excited feeling in
Madrid about American interference
in Cuban affairs and cause further
blustering expressions of anti-Ameri
can sentiment among the Spaniards.
These good people should're fleet that
4ne requests made by our Consul are
made m the name of humanity and
justice. The Spanish officials in Cuba
are too ready to forgetTthat there is
any need to be paid to humanity or
to justice, and it is to the advantage
of Snain in the long run that these
considerations should be forcibly
broueht to their attention. Phila

No Such ropular Munio as That Sun by
- Men.
Two old New Yorkers sat together in
one of the uptown music balls the other
night when an ample woman, with an
ample contralto voice, ambled out on
the stage and performed "Just a Song
at Twilight " She kept it up for two
Verses, and it wasn't so very badly done,
but at the end there was hardly a hand
clap of applause.
"Frost," said one of the old New
Yorkers, perhaps for want of anything
better to say.
''Nevertheless, " answered the other,
"that woman has got the glimmering
of an .idea that might be made very
profitable by some music hall manager
m this town, for one season at least.
The trouble with her song is that it was
never a great favorite, and what popu
larity it did have was too recent But
let some manager get a good singer to
do the real favorite among the old Eng
lish ballads, and I'll bet he'd make a
hit It would be better if he had a quar
tet f men. There is no such popular
music as the singing of men. Let such
a quartet come here and do the old
songs, and you'd give up your dollars
to hear them, and I'd give np mine,
and so would all the rest of the boys,
and they'd keep it up long enough, too,
to make it a good investment, But the
singers must be good ones, with well
trained voices. There's a lot of the old
songs which are extremely popular, in
spite of the fun that s made 91 them.
There'fl 'Annie Laurie,' for instance.
Suns' as a second bass solo, -with the
rest of them doing the accompani
ment, it would go sure.' And there's
Sallv In Our Alley. Why. there's a
man up at the club who makes a spe
cialty of ballad singing, and he never
gets away without doing that song. He
has a high, sweet tenor voice, and there
isn't a man who has ever heard him
who wouldn't go. miles in the rain to
hear him repeat it 'Marsa's In the
Gold. Cold Ground' is another, and
there are those old Irish ballads, 'Kath
leen Marourneen and 'Believe Me, If
All Those Endearing Young Charma
There was a quartet in Boston several
years ago that 'used to go around the
country giving 'concerts. I've heard them
several time, and the time they made
the biggest hit was when a big part of
their programme was made up of the
old songs. It hasn't been done in a sum
mer season in New York that I can re
member, and I'd like to see it tried. It
would get my money sure." New

- Queer Pear Tree.
A freak of nature which is a source
tf much interest to horticulturists is
displayed on a pear tree in Widow Alex
ander's yard on East Mam street J-eD-
auon, Ind. 'Blooms entirely foreign to
the nature of the tree appear from two
different branches, while the branches
in question are natural and of thi
year's growth. The tree bore a nice lot j
of fruit last year, and as no pears are ;
yet in sight speculation plays a decided
part as to what , the winsome widow
will feed her palate on from this tree.
Manv - make daily visits to see the
blooms. A professor from Purdue uni
versity is to visit the find, and his views !
are eagerly awaited. .
