DAJLY CHARI-OTTE OBSERVER JUNE 18, 1895 4 t 4 t 5 :i - T. P. OALSVELL. coinb in nmm There are 'various things indicating thatthe Southern farmer is lo be strict ly in it this vear.v. He has cat down his cotton crop 14 per cent, and is likely to 'get a good price for what h raises. The -wheat crop of the " country is going to be short, its condition the 1st of June showing 71 per cent, against 83 per cent. June 1st, 1891; but the crop of the - Southern farmer, . especially him of r North Carolina, is ali right. The out look of the corn crop of the country is .promising, nowhere more so than in the Southern States. The prospect gen erally is for a year of good crops and good prices. The realization of this hope will Set the country up. - . -rftj" . . Two of our contemporaries, the Ashe vllie Citizen and llockingbam Rocket, are more or less horrified by the sugges tion that some of the Charlotte female bicyclists are rapidly coming to bloom ers, and the latter, as if to give all pos sible emphasis to Us skepticism, de clares that when it sees "those Queen City belles spinning along in bloomers' it will see the Obsekveji "on a front seat with the Wilson-Coke-Beckwilh-Ayer silver combination." We protest to our contemporary that ifs language is too extreme. The dayof the bloomer in Charlotte may be remote but we de clare before high heaven that it is not as far off as the other event which the Rocket's imagination pictures. The Star Course committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, of this city, almost always exercises rare good judgment in the selection of its list of attractions. Its course each year is not only entertaining but educa tional, and the community is its debtor for what it is constantly doing for it. We note with great pleasure that the committee has put on its course for next season Gen. John B. Gordon who, under its auspicesj, will deliver here in October his celebrated lecture, "The Last Days of the1 Confederacy." The committee has never booked a greater attraction We congratulate it upon the stroke it has made, and the community and the surrounding section upon the opportunity whiiih will be afforded them of hearing this master-piece. The Asheville Citizen is good enough and fair enough to share in this paper's resentment of the suggestion that it may bolt if a free silver candidate is nominated by 'the Democratic party for President next year, and says we shall have ice in sheol before the Observer bolts the national Democratic ticket, uur contemporary has it right, of course. We copy a paragraph from it And now would it not be as well for each of us to get his one particular pianK in me next .democratic national platform, if possible, and, failing that, to come up and vote the straight ticket, sgooa naiureuiy, admitting that someone must give way now and then? That's where the Observer stands, &ia we seriously object to havinjr it suggested that we stand elsewhere, eipecmny wuen me suggestion comes from a duck who, while making the i an plication, gives it to be distinctly understood that unless a free coinege candidate is nominated he himself will bolt. Watch the signs of the times. Sena tor Marion Butler declares that he has no connection with either the Demo cratic or the Republican party; that free s.Iver is the only issue worth talk ing about, and that "the Populist party can save the country by joining with patriots of other parties, even if it drops its own name." To us this means that the Senator and his crowd are ready for another trade. Take his declaration in connection with the recent resolutions of the Democratic State executive com mittee calling upon men of "all shades . of political opinion" to unite under the free silver banner; in eonnection-with the "mixtry" in the. silver meeting at Raleigh week before last; in connection with a recent remark of a leading Democratic politician, of the back num ber classification, that he "knows of one ma'n" who will not vote for a sound money man- for President next year even if the Democratic party nominates him, and it is very suggestive of the likelihood that a deal is in contempla tion if not actually already on foot. Referring to a call of the Atlanta Con stitution for the organization all over .Georgia of what it is'pleased to call - "bi-metallic leagues, the New York Sun pithily says: In the cause of free silver at 10 to 1 there is no, bi metallism. There could be no gold threads among the silver. There would be silver mono-metallism far more complete and perfect than our gold mono-metallism of the past half century, since at present, for instance, we have over 400,000,000 silver dollars, alt good on. the theory that they are part of a local currency of which gold is the undisputed standard. " Many of the more honest and intelli gent free coiners have given up the con tention that there is any bi-metallism , in their proposition. Gresham's law would see to it that under a system of free coinage the whole of our $625,C0G, 000 of gold would go out of circulation, and that instead of having a rretallic carrency-of gold and silver, as the fathers of the republic contemplated, we would have one of silver alone. This is a fact which? in all this discussion, v; ,' needs to be looked squarely in the face. In the Democratic ward convention la Chicago last Saturday night the free " coiners cleaned up the sound money ;; . Democrats, root and branch. They . ; -; had their pegs already set and 4n every . ; ward their slates went through as U . "greased." The sound money men did not even fight in an v but three wards , and were overslaughed in these. The whole of the Democratic machinery of T - the city is now in the hands of the free - coiners, which would not be so bad of . itself, bat the end is not yet, for, says a Chicago special to the New York Herald, "the honest money Democrats will -refuse to support nominees put up by the silverjtes at the coming election, - but will vote with the Republicans, . provided the latter name".honest-money , men. If the Republicans fail to do this the honest-money men .will not ' - vote at all, but will bide their . lime." : :. That is one of the consequences of run- niog'rutblessly oyer minorities. :r If the - sound-money men keep their word at the polls the victory of the free coiners Sat urday nifflit will prove to have been a l;trreu one. - CI.EYEXANO OFF FOB THE SUM Ml K. pWUfc Hii Secretary '. mA Pfcyricfcm . Washington for Gray Gable. . - Wasbosgtost. June 17.- President Cleveland, accompanied by bis private secretary, Henry x. Thurber, (who nas leased a cottage near the President's seaside residence for himself and fami ly) and by Dr. Robert Hi O Uciily, ol the United States Army, who has so fre quently acted as the confidential travel- inz unvsieian vi me rnaiueui, ic Washington to-oay to pass me rest oi the summer at Gray Gables, Buzzard's Bav. Mass. " : i", The White House carriage .contain ing the three gentlemen was driven from the south side of 'the Executive Man sion, which -is rarely used for public purposes, at about 0:,0 a. ta., ana, pass ing rapidly down f unfrequented streets, reached the Pennsylvania; Railroad sta tion unobserved, about 0:43 a. m. It was driven to the baggage entrance, and President Cleveland and his com panions entered the station by that means, passed through the open'gate wav, manned only by waiting railroad officials, and at once entered a very limited special train which had been prepared for their accommodation. It consisted of Vice President Thompson's private car, which was occupied by the distinguished guests, and Senator Cal vin Brice's private car, which was sim ply thrown'in as ballast. Mr. Brice's car was needed by the Ohio Senator in New York,and it was consequently at tached next to the engine, to take off some of the smoke, and to give extra weight to the presidential train. The tram was scheduled as a special and pulle'd out of Washington at 0:.r a. m. ten minutes before the regular No. 50 train of the Pennsylvania Railroad, of which it was regarded as the first section. By the President's request, the engineer was instructed not to put on any extra speed, but to conform as nearly as possible to the pace ot tne regular train which followed ten miu- utes alter careruliy guaraea oy uie block system from collision. This is done for two reasons, first to avoid at tracting attention, and secondly, to prevent the unpleasant oscillation which would result from so slight a train as that consisting of two coaches one empty and the other occupied only by three people being driven at a rapid speed. The officials of the road and everybody else maintained the ut most secrecy as to the time lor tne President's departure and no one but a few secret service officials and early morning passengers witnessed the hegira of the President for the summer of 1895. DROWSED IN SAVING HIS BOY. Mr. W. II. Kerr, Son of the North CarolMl Geologist, ITinds a Watery Grave. Annapolis, Md., June 10. W. H. Kerr, a wealthy resident of Catonsville, near Baltimore, and president of the Thistle Cotton Mills Company, of Ilchester, -Howard county, Md., was drowned to-day, under distressing cir cumstances. With his family and a party of friends he came to Annapolis on board his steam yacht Watauga. After spending a few hours in the city, the party re-embarked, Intending to re turn to Baltimore. Shortly after leaving the wharf Mr. Kerr's six-year-old son fell overboard. Engineer Benton threw a life preserver to the lad, but he was unable to reach it. Seeing his son struggling in the water Mr. Kerr sprang overboard, and swam to his assistance. He succeeded in holding the boy's head above water until Capt. Burtis, of Annapolis, ar rived in a row boat and picked up the lad. The yacht had meanwhile drifted away and Mr. Kerr sank out of sight as his boy was rescued. After an hour's search the body of Mr. Kerr was recovered. Mrs. Kerr and her four other children were on the deck of the Watauga and witnessed the sad accident. Mr. Kerr was the son of the late Prof. Kerr, State geologist, of North Carolina. NOTHING DONE The Committees of the Southern Kail n ay and Steamship Association Will Kepurt To-M jrro w. New York, June 17. The members of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association spent u quiet day to-day. Since the adjournment those members who are on the several committees have spent their time at the seashore or iu the city waiting for a call for another session, when the reports of com mitlees will be presented aud the business of the session wound up. There was a meeting of the executive committee in the forenoon and in the afternoon sev eral members got together and talked over the schedule of charges for through freight. No decision was reached re garding what day next week another session will be held, but it is thought that the committees will be ready to report on Wednesday atd that the call will be issued for that day. The mem bers of the committees refuse to di vulge the matters under discussion, say ing that it would be discourteous to the association. A SIGN OF GOOD.TIMtS. Two Ohio Hanu,favluTiiig Firms Volunta rily Raise Wages. Cleveland, O., June 17. Notice of a 10 per cent, increase in wages was post ed in the works of the National Malle able Castings Company to-day. The action was a voluntary one on ihe part of the company and was taken because of the improvement in business. The Eberhard Manufacturing Company took similar action. Said Vice President William Champney, of the Eberhard Company: "Wheu business was dull we were obliged to make a reductiou. Matter3 are brighter now, and it is no more tifan proper that the men should be given the advantage of the situa tion." The Eberhard Company em ploys 1,100 men and. the National Com pany 900.

Jnne 17. -The Republt fm national committee will probably meet in November this year, instead of Tipcember. which has been the montn selected for. many years past." While this r.nnrdusion has not been definitely reached, it is one which meets the views of the influential members of the fttpe and little doubt is enter tained that it will be adopted. The irmhli&n leaders believe that the next national convention should be held in May, and, inasmuch as the national committee "must j-ive six months no tice of the holding of the convention, it will h heressrv. therefore, that thf committee shall hold its meeting in No- vpinheiv It is purposed by the Republican leaders to inaugurate a campaign of ed cation. In order lo make uch a cam paign effective it is necessary that suffi cient time stiouia eiapse neiwreu ut-holdins- of the convention and election day in which to acquaint the voters with all the facts connected with the residential contest. It is areued that little if anv work is-done during the heated term. from, say, the middle o .Inlv until the 1st of September, and that., therefore, if the convention does not. make its choice before the'Jatter part of June, the effective work of the ramnain will be limited to a period nnt. orrew ini three monins. ii me convention should meet early in May there will be two months in which much useful work can oe f! before ihe doir days ar . "..-. r vp. and as many more anc that period. It has been suggested by smeofthe members of the nationa committee who are opposed to holding thp convention in Mav. that the cam paign shall begin before the delegate meet. To this tne ouieciiou is msu that, it would be farcical to inausuratt- a vigorous political crusade before the partv has selected its standard-bearer. So far as can be learned, the members of the national committee generally favor the May convention, which will necessitate the meeting of the commit tee in November. Washington, as usual, will be the place of meeting ol the committee and Chicago is the favored place for the meeting of the convention. The forthcoming meeting of the he publican national committee will con sider one question of far-reaching im portance to ie party. At tne commu tee's last meeting, which was held in this city in l)ecember,lS'j:5, a resolution was introduced by Henry B. Payne, of Wisconsin, to bise the apportionment of delea-ates to the national convention on the number of voles cast by the Re publican party at the preceding presi dential election. The better uarl of one day's session was devoted to a considera tion of the resolution which provoked strong ormosition, from the Southern members, particularly, and the commit tee adjourned leaving it unsemeu. ii will be the most important business which will come before the committee when they re-assemble. The sentiment in favor of the proposition seems to have grown rather than di minished during the interim. It was contended bv Mr. Payne as well as by others who" supported the resolution, that the committee, as at present con stituted, gives to delegates from strong Democratic States an influence and power which is unfair to the represen tative from other States whose electoral vote is always cast for the Republican nominee. II is coitention was that the convention should be composed of dele gates who represent the actual strength of the Republican party in ihe several States and that this was the only fair basis of apportionment. The Southern members argued that the Republican vole in their Slates was suppressed, and, for thai reason, they could not, on tlie face of the returns, be given a rep resentation in ihe covention that would correctly express their real strength. One e'.fect of such a rule would be to decrease to some extent, at tlie next convention, the representation from States like New York and Illinois, inas much as both Commonwealths iu 1S92 cast their electoral vote for Mr. Cleve land. .Such strong Republican States as Ohio, Massachusetts and Pennsylva nia would retain their present repre sentation, if. in some cases, they did not exceed it. The proposition is, therefore, an interesting one and it is predicted that the committee will ex- 1)3 ud more time in us consiuerauon than will be given even to qut-Mnuu as to which city shall secure the honor of having the convention.

Pos to llice Inspector Conard caused the arrest ot L. T. Jackson, postmaster at Mill Spring, on the charge of passing countefeitgmoney. It appears that a few weeks ago a counterfeit $10 note was received at the Charlotte postottice in a mouev order remittance from Mill Spring postottice. Inspector Conard wasconsulted by Postmaster Robertson, and after the note was examined by Hank Examiner Miller and others, it was returned to Mill Spring postottice, and the postmaster acknowledged re ceivinz it back, sending a good note in its nlace. A few days ago the same note was discovered and recogni.ed by Mr. Miller in Spartanburg, whereupon Inspector Conard took the matter in charge. On Saturday at a hearing be fore United States Commissioner Bar rett, at Tryon, Mr. Jackson disclaimed all knowledge of the matter, and ois as sistant admitted that he had attended to it. hut disclaimed anv intention of lettine- it nass aeain after he had re ceived it back from Charlotte.
