AND TYPHOID IXTXB la view of the fact that some Interest , has been excited in this section recent ly in regard to preventing the spread of disease through the drinking of tm pure milk.attention may be called to the fact that there is a strong sentiment at Stamford, Conn., in favor of prosecuting Henry J. Blackham, a milkman who sold milk to which a typhoid fever epi demic has been traced. This feeling was intensified Sunday, by a sermon preached in the Presbyterian church by the Rev. Dr. R. P.' H. Vail, who took as his test the healing of the mother of Peter's wife, and said: So there was fever on the edge of the Sea of Gallilee nearly nineteen hundred years ago, just as there is fever to-day in Stamford, on the borders of Long Island Sound. Whether or not the fever was epidemic we are not told, nor are we informed whether it was caused by the villainous greed of some Galiilean milkman who watered bis milk from a foul well, and by this pestilential pro cess was enabled to sell a larger supply than he received from the cows. "Had" this been the case, however.the authorities would undoubtedly have given the miscreant a bath of boiling oil with the utmost promptitude, or would have removed him from the city limits, clothed in raiment composed of feathers and tar. Either punishment would have been appropriate and neither would have been too severe. "In the time of the stertFold Roman, a man whose name had been a stench in the nostrils of anjr community was not allowed to continue his residence in that particular place for an indefinite time. The leniency and inditrerenceof the present time are in striking con trast with the severity of the aDcient past in dealing with such matters." While we are not inclined to encour age pulpit encouragement of mob vio lence, we nevertheless rather sympa thize with the intense feeling of indig nation which prompted the utterances of the Stamford divine. It goes to show the depth of feeling in regard to the outrage perpetrated by the milk man, when even the clergy loses its temper and breaks over bounds. We hope that the authorities will proceed f against this milkman in the courts, as they are contemplating doing, and fur thermore, that this affair will end in the appointment of a Stamford milk inspector. We hope, too, that the good people of this old Puritan town and State will learn the lesson that there are occasions and circumstances which often tempt the fortitude and forbearance of men beyond endurance, and so learn to ap preciate the fact that in the South 'heroic measures" are often called for. WOMEN AND WORK. It is stated that the forthcoming re part of Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright will show that the whole num ber of women employed in the United States doubled during the period 18T0 to 1890, while the population of the country increased but 61 per cent. The greater part of this increase Is the num ber of women at work was in the fac tories of the country but they have in vaded very many liDes of occupation which, a few years ago, were under stood to be entirely closed to them and many of them are filling positions of various kinds with success. One of the reasons they are finding such ready access to avenues which were felt, a few years ago, to be open only to men, is that so many of the men are so trifling. It is not a matter to be deplored that to many women are going to work. These are happier than those who fold their hands in idleness and are much more useful to the world. If it is said that they are taking away the work which belongs to men the answer is that it is the fault of the men if they cannot stand the competition. The world is wide and there is work in it for every body who is willing to work and is cap able of doing anything. It is childish in a grown man to whine that he is out of employment because a woman has ine-joo mat ought to be his. Let him get another. The Raleigh Press of Monday after noon appeared with a full front-page lithograph of the Confederate monu menta beautiful piece of work and with many pages ef reading matter, the speeches of the day, incidents, etc., of the occasion. It was a very fine paper. We have not had the pleasure of seeing a copy of the Monday edition of our Raleigh morning contemporary, the News and Observer, the issue gotten out by the ladies of the Monument As sociation, but are gratified to see it wtll spoken of and interested to see ti e statement that the first copy of it was sold at auction and .bid off by Mr. R.

I must, with one exception and that in nowise superior award the palm to the Charlotte Street Railway service. The uniform and thoughtful courtesy of conductors and . motormeD is almost exceptional. If lagging and weary feet are just a second behind, I do not see a wave of the hand as I signal, and hear: "Another car in fifteen, minutes," and rush on; a stop is made, a willing hand is reaay to assist me quietly, not with a frown and push. The citizens of Char lotie are to oe congratulated on such a service and from its very head down. every man, I trust, receives daily the generous thanks of a-grateful public. Parsons. A llig O. It.

WHY COL MEANS CONTESTED.

Means' Sabetftnte Defeated. ji To the Editor ol the Observer: I notice in this .morning's , Raleigh News - and Observer on 1 the editorial oac-e. the resolutions in favor of the frKS coinage of silver at the. ratio of 16 to 1 adopted by the State Democratic pxpeutive committee on the 20th. You will notice in section first or these resolutions this language: "That the executive committee of the Dem ocratic nartv of the State of Korth Car olina, acting and speaking for and in, be half of the fariy, republish, reiterate and emphmize the declaration. of the oartv made in tne late convention, Auffust 8t 11. 1894. in favor of the free and unlimited coinage tiiter, at the ratio f 16 tel." As is well known, in North Carolina, I have for many years been a member of this committee and was an attendant upon the rffeettng in the Senate cham ber last night which passed the' above resolutions. I then contested, alone, any action upon these resolutions, for these reasons: 1. Because neither by nsage and cus torn, nor by any authority vested in this committee, did they have the right to enact such a manifesto and issue it to the people of North Carolina, as "acting and speaking for and in behalf of the Democratic party. The author itv of this committee, like that of all committees, is delegated, and these del egated powers are too well and specifi cally known, by men of all parties tn North Carolina, to attempt to rehearse them here for the purpose of showing that these resolution are not a part of the delegated powers of this commit tee. This action was an assumption of the highest prerogative of a political party, to-wit: The virtual, if not the real enactment of the party platform on the chief issue before all the parties in this repub.'ic at the present time And our committee should not have done this when it was so easy to exer cise the power, which it rightly has, of calling a convention of the Democratic party for a legitimate expression of its wishes. Suppose, for instance, in ref erence to these delegated powers, our committee last night had called a con vention and declared that the delegates, from each county in North Carolina to that convention must vote in that con vention to adopt the resolutions quoted above ; would this have been any greater assumption, not to say arro gance on the part ol the committee, than to have enacted these resolutions without aDy convention ? And I assert that there was barely, including prvxie, a majority of the committee present. Z. liesides this negation of the com mittee's right to act, these facts exist: There was a meeting of this committee in this city on the 1 1th of last month, which was very largely attended and many matters pertaining to the party were discussed, and the committeethen adjourned to meet last night. The financial question was, on the 14th of last month, brought to the attention of the committee and it was deemed best, by an almost unanimous vote, to let the financial question not disturb us for the present; anl this committee then ad journed to meet again last night for the particular purposeof attending to some matters pending before it at its last meeting. It was never suggested by any one that this great financial ques tion could or would come up before the committee last night. And in the an nouncement issued by Chairman Pou, to each member of the committee of the meeting last night, there was no indication irhttttctr that any such resolu tions as those above, or that the ques tion to which they appertain, would Come before the committee. And from my personal knowledge, recently ob tained from some members of the com mittee, I am confident that, had it bceu kcown that this question would have been up before the committee last nisrht, I would not have had to contest these resolutions alone. 3. It was alleged vehemently in the debate on the resolutions that they should be enacted itwr by the committee for the purpose of their ' moral elfect" in North Carolina and ctirr jilanx; which I considered an unjust and im proper use of any power of the com mittee for the benefit of any faction of our pirty anywhere, however large or sn all that faction might be. 4. And I antagonized the resolutions, if personal mention of my financial views may be excused, because I am unqualifiedlj opposed to "the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Hi to 1." Because it is an cxtablUhed fiut that such a ratio c-nttut be maiu taimd under the present coinage of sil ver. And further, because it is neither an historical nor a political truth, that free and unlimited coinageof silvcrever existed in our country as is asserted more than once in the resolutions above. And every well-informed man, what ever his party may be, and especially some of those present last night in our committee meeting, know that there was an attempt made in the last national Democratic convention in Chicago, to insert into our platform, then made, a prorMJsition for "the free coinage of sil ver," which proposition, made by way of amendment to the platform in open ranrt ntion, was on rirhelmingly defeated. 5. And I contested action upon these resolutions, if it was necessary to have a party utterance upon them for "moral effect" or demoralizing results in our party, as the ease may be, that a Demo cratic convention might be convened here at a very early day to express the opinion of our party now, in a legiti mate manner, on the great financial issues of the country, when the condi tions and the facts surrounding these issues haye been materially changed since we have hid a deliverance from any convention of our party. And for this purpose I offered, as a substitute for the above resolutions, this: "Resolved, That the consideration of i he propositions contained in the reso lutions, offered by Capt.-R. B. Davis, be postponed until they can be submit ted to a State Democratic convention to be called to meet in Raleigh, at the earliest day possible, bv this committee to-night." This I thought, was only inst and proper to the very respectable numbers of our party who are opposed to the resolutions and who would, at least, like to have had the right to be heard upon them before they were given out to the world as the utterance of the f " tire Democratic party of North Carolina. On this resolution, I called for the yeas and nays, and. upon the roll-call the vote was as follows: Yeas Paul B. Means. NatbE. C. Smith. II. C. Oli-re, R, n. Battle. W. E.: Ashley, A. W.

Very respectfully, - Paltl B. Mkass. Raleigh, N. C. May 21, 1895. HAVE TUB PEOPLE SO SAT? Are a Few, leaders. Who Think They Know It All, to Commit the Entire Party to Free Silver. To the Editor of the Observer: The Rev. Sam Jones, I think it was, related a story about Himself that ap pears to be applicable to you and me. He said that in calling for all those who hoped to go to heaven, to stand up, and all. or nearly all, stood, but there was one, who, like the man spoken of in the Bible, from some cause having fallen asleep, did not hear the first proposi tion, and waked only to hear-the re quest that all those who expected to go to the other place do likewise, xie neard only the last words, "stand up." So, dazed and not taking in the situation he stood, and, finding himself alone, he said to Sam, who was also standing: "It appears to me, Mr. Jones, that you and I are in a mighty small minority." So weUnd ourselves to-day, for the bosses have issued their dictum and de clared, without consultation of the people, that we, the party, are for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Surely, before such a bold an nouncement had been issued, ought not the people to have had a voice in the matter, or are they determined to read out of the party all that differ? They say that the delegates to the Memphis convention are no good do not repre sent anybody. Mr. Editor, this is the great trouble. A few men who think they know it all are determined to dominate the party. It was this verv thing that caused so many of our good men to seek refuge in the People's party. They saw that thev were denied the right of speech and that in all things, even to the elec tion of officers etc., thev had to vote as they were directed. Is this Democracy Is this grand pronunciamento issued by a few at Raleigh, to be thrust down our throats, and are ice. the pea-pie, to have no voice; to be merely the tools, of faction ? What are we Democrats to do? To lie supinely upon our backs and let the few dictate? It is a free country and we, as free men, must, party or no party, as men loyal to the best interests of the country, exercise our free will and vote as our conscience dictates. A Reader of The Observer. Monroe. May 22, 1895. THE CRIME (?) OF 1873. Time That the Lie About the Stealthy De monetization of Silver Was Mailed One of Coin's Fallacies Exposed. To the Editor of the Observer. The Populist and silverite papers are continually denouncing the secrecy with which, unknown to the general public, or. mirabile dictu, to Con gressmen, the demonetization of silver is said to have been accomplished. The fact is that the bill was before Congress nearly three years. It passed the Forty first House of Representatives, was taken up again in the Forty-second Congress, and then became law after having been reported on in the com mittees of both houses. The reporters for the press did not notice that silver had been demone tised, because it had been virtually de monetized in 1834, thirty-nine years before, and a whole generation had grown up who had never seen one United States silver dollar in circula tion. Is it not about time that this particular lie was nailed to the counter, like other base coin? In "Coin's linancial School," the author, taking advantage of the fact that wheat had declined in price, ar gues that the farmer is robbed in con sequence, the truth of the matter being that a given number of bushels o wheat will buv to-dav more farm tools and implements than the same quantity of wheat would have paid for in 13i" and as c irn, oats and pork are as high now as they were in 18T3, the farme cat. buy much more of such things, o of clothing, than he could have pur chased then, the dilference being about 50 per cent., or one-half, in the farm er's favor. The fall in wjieat and cot ton is due to the increased supplies o both articles from new and virgin soils of great fertility, wheat now coming from Argentine and Australia and India", and cotton from Texas and Egypt. The price of these great staples is settled in J-iiverpool in gold, irre spective of the currency of the countries from which they come. OODEN E. EPVVAIID'3, SCUOOL liOOK AGEKCY. Cant. W. 15. Kendrick Replies to Mr. W. II. Walker's Communication. To the Editor of the Observer: But for the mention of my name by one W. It. Walker in a communication to your paper, I would not notice any thine he writes. II is communication is very misleading, and purposely so In working by counties we have to give away five to seven sets of books, usually sent by mail ; have to -make from two to three personal visits to each member of the board ; have an agent in every county, an expensive correspondence and other expenses. I have never known a county to cost less than $100, average, and all publishers know this to be true To give up a book which cost 50 cents, and pay 25 cents to make an exchange. is (riving 73 cents for the book received in exchange. Some books may be ante quated, yet Walker's do not displace them. I do not know of any "book combine1 in North Carolina unless it be acombi nation which existed in South Carolina and I was not in that. I is both pitiful and contemptible to see an agent continue to circulate false hoods which have been proved time and again to be i false. The reason that books can be had anywhere for the same price, as in South Carolina, for instance, is that since books hae been sold in North Carolina at wholesale prices, other States have demanded the same prices and terms. I made the proposition in lM to re tail books at wholesale prices, by giving dealers a discount to enable them to do so, and we have kept our contract "with the people, i w. B.

The second was your astound ing success in achieving financial in dependence for your families.

The third is the passionless and peaceful manner in which you have laid aside the trap ping of the camp for the modest garb of the citizen, and the silent restraints of c i v j 1 government. "I rejoice in the privilege of bearing to you fraternal greetings from the great body of brave men who confront ed vou in battle. Be assured that the overwhelming majority of the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of soldiers who were brave in battle and are generous in peace, courageous, knightly and true, bear neither linger ing bitterness nor sentiment of distrust Applause. In the presence or your continued conservatism and before the higher and nobler sentiment of our country, these will vanish like vapors before the rising sun. General Gordon concluded by re-as suring the people of Texas of the ap preciation of their boundless hospital ity. The band played Dixie and the crowd burst out into loud applause.
