His declaration was against free coinage. In an interview is the Raleigh News and Observer Prof. J. M. Tier nan, of Salisbury, who has conducted xninlnjf operations in Mexico inter mittently for six years, took the other view, challenging the competency of the Landmark's witness upon the ground that he .knew of but one citizen of Iredell county residing in Mexico, and he a young man who is agent of a news company atTorreon, whose "posi tion and isolation there, as well as his lack of general knowledge of the coun try, unfits rather than fits him to be quoted as an authority on the financial system of Mexico." The Landmark, replying, says that the young man referred to Mr. L. F. Poston is not its writer and says of the gentleman who is: We have not, for private reasons, re veaied the identity of our correspond ent. Should we do so it. would add weight to his statements, for he is known in all this section as a pe n tie man of education and of unimpeacha ble character. He has lived in Mexico for sixteen years. Prof. Tiernan ad mits that he has resided there only a portion of six years. Now the Landmark's correspondent is not a cap italist, is not interested in mining and has no large interests in Mexico to cloud his judgment.' He is a citizen who is interested in the welfare of Mexico and his calling brings him in contact with all classes of people and he knows the conditions of the poor as well as of the rich. Capitalists and mine owners don't generally mix with the people. Upon this showing it must be ssen that the attempt to impeach the Land mark's witness has failed. If what is said of him is true he has less interest in coloring the facts than Prof. Tiernan has. TAKES A RANK HOLD. Rev. J. H. Pressly, the pastor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church of Statesville, preached last Sun day, according to. the Landmark, on the new woman, taking the Shuaamite woman as his subject. "He could not imagine her taking part in political con ventions or caucuses and bandying blackguard epithets with men from po litical platforms." He inveighed against women preachers, but was heaviest up on the women in bloomers riding a bi cycle. "He would not, he said, speak to one of these women in men's clothes any more than he would to a yellow dog. He said this with emphasis and said that he desired to go on record about it." "Ninety-nine out of every 100 who come whizzing by you in knick erbockers and bloomers are violating the law of God. He would speak to any woman that would speak to him, no matter how poorly clad she might be or what her station in life, but he would not speak to a woman in men's clothes. Our Associate Reformed Presbyterian friends are distinguished for their con servatism, and it is not surprising to learn that one of their ministers does not take kindly to the new woman and to bloomers. But they are eminent also for their moderation in speech, and chat from one of their pulpits about yel low dogs sounds a little strange. We merely reinar,k the matter in passing and with no purpose to try to induce Mr. Pressly to relax. If he doesn't want to speak to the girl in bloomers and won't do it, it is all right with us. We have no feeling against him about the matter whatever. We were speaking yesterday of the "bicycle face." Now comes one of the tobacco Journals of the country with a Statement of another influence of the wheel in addition to that of malting men look serious: We do not exaggerate the least. The bike-craze ha9 infatuated, enslaved at the least calculation five hundred thou sand males who were formerly addicted to the smoking habit. Lf these five hun dred thousand male slaves to the bike " craze have weaned themselves to smok ing only two cigars less a day this must" be considered a most moderate calcula tion, as thebikeist hardly ever worships less than from four tn sir hnrnos it I ho shrine of his wheel then the consump tion of cigars is decreasing at the rate of one million per day and seven hun dred millions in a year. And the de- ; crease in our cigar production since the bike-craze has set in has actually been seven hundred millions per year. , But the statistics are against this Statement. It was only yesterday that w printed this authoritative statement: "Daring the fiscal year just ended 4,130,440,370 cigars were manufactured in this country, against 4,066,917,433 In the previous year," A man rid ing bicycle and smoking a cigar is about as odd-looking an object as one wearing a short-tailed coat and a s stove-pipe hat, but some of them do ride - and smoke and it is evident from the :i figures that those who do not, make up tost time between rides. vr. In their speeches at Concord Toes ; day. Senators Tillman and Butler both f party lines if this were necessary to secure a free silver President next year. Their talks both pointed, toward a new rtartv. with silver an it nrnr.ttjMla and we are bound to admit that this is logical argument for all those who be- mat mere u noinjng else given under heaven by -which we may.be uo i ret, coinage oi : silver at the ratio or 16 to 1, , ; So the boys down about Raleigh are 'fixing for a State silver convention are Ihey t All right Let r roIL --. - Among the many Interesting discus sions at the recent Yearly Meeting of the Quakers ai High Point was the one upon capital punishment, and we note that Mr. P." S.- Blair saw no - inconsis tency Jn Friends acting: as jurors in capital eases, as the jury has only to say t whether ,r ' not -the prisoner is guilty-; This reasoning won quite do. When a juror finds a defendant guilty of murder In the first degree be con sents to . bis death, and . if be has7 re ligious scruples on ' the .subject he is quite certain to cast about in his mind for every reason why it should not be inflicted in that case, and failing to find any he is apt to invent them. It can not be figured out that a man who is opposed, on principle or on religious grounds, to capital punishment- caa be an unbiased juror in the trial of a mur der case. " "X- . LOCAI. MISISTKKS' CONFJEKKNCE. IS I Meeting; - avc Rntberford College. -Preldent William' Address. Special to tbe Observer. W Rutherford College, Aug. 14. The twenty-sixth annual session of the North Carolina Local Ministers' Con ference was opened in the Methodist church here at 8 o'clock to-night by Rev. W. P. Williams, president. The Scriptural lesson was the 103d psalm. Rev. Or. Branson offered prayer. Prof. Will EL Abernethy then deliv ered an address of welcome to the Con ference which was responded to by the president of the Conference. President Williams then delivered his annual ad dress oa "Christian Education," taking as his starting point:" "Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Mat. 21:10. I can give only two or three of the closing paragraphs of the address. Mr. Williams said that for some of the best thoughts of the discourse he was in debted to the sainted Dr. Bledsoe. "To counteract the works of Satan in this busy bad world what agencies can the Church employ? It is answered at once. The pulpit, the pres, Christian education and individual Christian influence- These must reach the public sentiment; purify and chasten it. There is no substitute for the Church in this work. While infidelity and immorality can pull down the social fabric, who shall build it up? Can representatives of secular ideas alone do it? Left to them, right and wrong, it has been well remarked, resolve themselves into mere principles of utility and social com munion. Can that pseudo-philanthro-phy, which is now-a-days so prolific, do it? This counterfeit benevolence is one of the most dangerous forms of modern infidelity. It promises the masses a speedy millenium and charges the Church with a lack of humanitarian energy. Its platform is the Bible of an advanced era. It stirs up hatred and strife between the different classes of society. It pities crime more than mis fortune. It is impatient of all legal re straints. It dissolves the most sacred relations of life for the sake of license, which it mistakes for liberty. It talks largely of the 'new era,' 'the universal brotherhood, 'prayers' and the like, which Carlyle sums up as 'universal syllabub of philanthropic twaddle.' And the immortal Bledsoe pronounced it: 'A malodorous phosphorescence of post-mortem sentimentalism.' Who can build up society in the har mony of virtue and intelligence? Can the State do it? Civil power cannot do this moral work. Good laws must be upheld by sound public sentiment. The State has not been able to effectually protect society against the circulation of vile literature, whose infamous ten dencies shock the commonest sense of dec3ncy. Horrible reading matter, printed on cheap paper, illustrated by pictures congenial only with the lowest taste, bought and read by a class whose education is just enough to give them a relish for it. Satanic literature; poison and deadly! Poison for the young and rising generation, for which the gov ernment has no sufficient autidote. Can the Church do nothing in the matter? In the light of history it may be afiirmed boldly, that so far as these evils have been counteracted "at all, and society been built up in virtue and intelligence, it has been done by the Christian Church, and the most power ful agency which the Church has ever employed in such work has been edu cated Christian minds. "The Christian Church is, at least in this country, the most reliable patron and best protector of the highest forms of education. Then, the standard of manhood is -higher; her obligation to make the most of human nature is more sacred; her work more world-encompassing; her ends more divine and enduring. "The world's indebtedness to the Church for intellectual advancement is a grand chapter for the historian's pen. Grecian civilization was a won derful forward movement of intellectual life. Roman power was the enthrone ment of mental energies vastly superior to that rude barbarism over which it triumphed. To this day civilized hu manity feels the influence of those classic cords, and enjoys the literature of Greece and Rome, but the world's debt to the Church is infinitely greater. Christianity furnishes a moral and con servative element which heathendom lacked; and it is Christianity which real ly preserved classic intelligence, purified it and made it immortal. "At Horeb, where the ancient Church was first formally organized, appeared the light and sounded the trumpet that doomed the superstition and idolatry or the world. Subsequently, tha Church of Christ sent its apostles to the very centre or pagan civilization to in struct and redeem it. Their only weap on or conquest was the truth, the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. It redeemed every nation it conquered. and it is to day the mightiest weapon of conquest in all this world Hear me: Extract from modern literature all the light it has borrowed from the Bible. and its glory would beeelipsed. e are the light or the world,' said the Savior. The light ad vances; thou sands rejoice in it; and when -we re member tbat Christian men are at the head of, nearly all our colleges, semina ries and universities, not only through out America, but Europe also, we look hopefully to the time when thesublime prayer which the Master taught a few humble men in Galilee shall become the solemn, earnest, united cry of re deemed millions: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," - "After the appointment of the usual committees the Conference adjourned to meet at 9 a. tn. to-morrow.

The confer ence of Democrats favorable to the free coinage of silver began at noon to-day atbe Metropolitan Hotel, the session being secret. The object Is to effect an organization within tbe party -strong enough to dominate the next national Democratic convention -and to commit the party to 'free coinage in the next national platform. -" . "Free coinageof silver' said a promi nent delegate this morning, "has always been advocated by the Democrats; it is a doctrine older than the party itself and I cannot see why we should not ob tain the end we seek.!;. Two hours before the meeting of the conference the lobby and the parlors of the hotel, were filled with well-known public men, known as advocates of the extended use of sliver as a money metal. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who was to be presiding officer, sat in the read ing room, explaining the object of the meeting to an interested lot of listeners, senators Harris, of Tennessee, and Daniel, of Virginia, had a private con sultation relative to the proceedings of the conference, in the room of the former. Ex-Senator Walsh, of Georgia, discussed the issue in question with a number of delegates in te lobby. The Illinois and Missouri delegations arrived at the hotel early and were in troduced to their colleagues from the South. Ex-Representative Brookshire, of Indiana, Representatives Living stone, of Georgia, and Cox, of Tennes see, discussed with delegates from other sections, the advisability of the proposed movement, while delegates not so well-known listened attentively to their more experienced brethren. The conference was called to order promptly at 12 o'clock. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was made chairman and Mr. Hinricbsen, of Illinois, secretary. Senator Jones in opening said that the conference had met in accordance with the call, which explained its pur pose. He wanted to see a silver militia organized to cope with the gold forces. After the roll call Senator Harris, of Tennessee, suggested that the business of the convention be properly outlined. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, offered the following resolution, which was agreed to without discussion: "Resolved, That a committee be ap pointed by the chairman of the confer ence, of such number as he may see fit, to prepare a programme of proceedings and resolutions, and report the same to the conference at an adjourned meet ing to be held at 4 o'clock to-day. "The chairman of the conference shall be ex-ofticio member of this com mittee." The conference re-assembled at 4 o'clock. Senator Daniel, in accordance with the agreement reached by the com mittee on programme, reported progress and asked that the conference adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow at which time they expected to be able to report resolutions and an address to the party. The request of Senator Daniel met prompt compliance, and the conference- adjourned until to-morrow 10 o-ooek. After the adoption of the resolution a recess for 30 minutes was taken to al low the chairman. Senator Jones, to prepare the committee. He decided to appoint a committee of one member from each State represented. After the recess, Chairman Jones announced tbe following committee: Missouri, Governor Stone and H. M. Hill; North Carolina. Senator Jarvis: Illinois, W. H. Hinrichsen; Indiana, A. W. Clark; Georgia, ex-Senator Walsh; Alabama, J. F. Johnson; Tennessee, E. M.

ChjcaoO, Aug. 14--r-The end of one of the most remarkable legal, fights in the history of corporation, litigation came to-day against tbe property of the Dis tilling and Cattle Feeding Company, commonly known as the whiskey trust, -which was sold at auction (on the court bouse steps in this city at 11:30 this morning. The sale proved a formality, as there were no other bidders besides tbe ; re-organixation- committee, whose bid of : $9,800,000, incorporated in the judicial decree ol sale, was - accepted. General John McNulta, the receiver of the trust, began the sale at 10 o'clock. Marshal Arnold and four deputies ac companied the zeeeiver and stood by bis side while he read the legal decree, which took an hoar and a half. At the conclusion of the reading he said: "I am now authorized to accept bids for this property. Anybody can buy it, provided they pay me tie earnest money of $50,000 in cash, as provided by tbe ecree, which i have just read. Do 1 any bid-ders; - vy Meyer, of counsel for the re-or ganization committee, stepped forward ana on beball of the re-organization committee, whom be called by name, renewed the -bid contained in the de cree of $9,800,000. "I renew this bid," said he, "on condition that the receiver -prosecute the suits for ever a million dollars as provided in the decree just read, and also on condition that all the other terms of the decree are carried out to the letter." He then handed General McNulta a certified check for $50 000. Ten min utes were allowed for other bids and at the expiration of tbat time theproperty was declared sold to the re-organization committee for the sum offered. - The property sold does not include all that owned by the old trust. Seven teen distilleries, the cream of the lot, were selected by the re-organization committee for purchase, besides the of fice building at Peoria. The distilleries purchased to-day were the Shufeldt, of Chicago; the Star and Crescent distil leries of Tazewell'county, Illinois; the Central of St. Louis; the St. Paul; the Riverdale, of Chicago; the Hamburg, of Tazwell county, Illinois; the Northern, of Peoria; the Manhattan, of Peoria; the Monarch, of Peoria; the Great West ern, Wollner and Peoria distilleries, all of Peoria; the White Spring distillery, of Omaha; the Consolidated, of Cincin nati; the Maddux-Hobart, of Hamilton county, Kentucky; the Wabash, of Terre Haute, and Latonia, of Cincin nati. The property is sold on condition that it shall be subject to the trust lien to secure the Dayment of whatever sums shall be adjudicated to be due to the holders of a certain issue cf $1,000,000 of bonds secured by a trust deed to the Central Trust Company, of New York, dated June 1st, ISO.;, in a suit insti tuted by General McNulta, against Jo seph B. Greenhut and others, which suit seeks to set aside the issue of $1,- 000,000 of bonds. The trust lien also secures the payment of such rebate vouchers as the court shall finally order to be paid. The re organization com mittee must pay in cash only such pro portion of the sum of $9,800,000 as the total number of shares of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company, not owned or controlled by the re-organiza tioh committee, bears to the total capi tal stock of the company, but it must pay the balance of the purchase price from time to time as required by any court having jurisdiction to the extent that it shall be necesary to enble the receiver to pay, in addition to the cost of administration, such of the claims filed as shall, upon final hearing, be or dered paid by the court. Receiver McNulta retains a lien on all the prop erty of the trust as security that the terms of the sale shall be carried out, and the court reserves to itself the au thority to summarily retake possession of the property, in the event that its assets are being wasted.
