STRUCK THE KEY-NoTEA AT LAST

1t gives us pleasure to clip the fol
lowing editorial from the Wilmington
Messenger. That paper says:
Mr.. Polk takes a more sober view
than any we have seen from him and
and more in accord with what the
Democrats are fighting for. He IS re
ported in the Washington Star as say
inc that the issue snOt the tariff, free
coinage of silver nor the Sub-TreaSury
bill. The issue is reform of entire
financial system. Neither the issuance
of more money nor the collection of
less taxes will alone do the people any
good. The entire financial system OF
the government must be changed be
fore anything else that may be done
a correct the existing evil. II he
will stick to that and the Alliance VIII
lock arms with the nOn-Alllance Demo
Gratis the whole financial system VIII
be radically improved.
President Polk has never entertained
n other view-has never expressed
n other view, as to the great issue
involved in this great reform move
men5. He holds and has ever held that
the questions of tariff, free coinage Of
silver, the Sub-Treasury are all subor-
dinate TO the great and paramount
question of reform IN orr financial SyS-
tenn. He emphasized it in his annual
message in the Ocala cOnvention-he
has so presented it on the rostrum all
over the country and has reiterated it
time and again through these columns.
Yes. brother President Polk will stick
to that and so will all thinking men
and all true Alliancemen.
And it is gratifying to find that the
Messenger has at last discovered what
is the real and true issue before the
American people, and to receive its
assurance that if adopted 1rhOle
financial system 1ciU be radically i'm
pr0yed. W. are glad that the NeSSen-
ger has at last found out just what is
the position of President Polk and of
the Alliance on these important mat
tiers, and that it 50 hopefully endorses
their views. Score one for the ALI
ance among the Democratic papers of
North Carolina! We congratulate the
Messenger upon it's wise conclusion and
it's ma~nliness in thus endorsing the Al
lance movement for financial reform.

NEW DICTIONARY.

Messrs. Funk & WagnalIs, publish

one hundred Of the best editors in
America, prominent educators, and
nothing will be left undOne to make
the new work complete. The book will
contain many pictorial illustrations.
Special attention will be given to pro-

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

There is some complaint about the
action Of the Railroad Commission in
some matters. We have nothing to do
with this commission, but propose to
criticize or commend them as we see
proper.
It must be understood that it is a
new business to the commissioners. 1t
is necessary for them to go slow. If
there is not enough reduction at pres
ent. changes should be made. If any
roads have been classed as branch
roads when they are really through
lines, this should be corrected. If any
determinations are known, those
knowing the facts. ought to put their
complaints in proper shape for investi-
cation.
IT. is estimated that the commission
will cost the State nearly so, 600 an
n7Ia1lv. Let us see if the commission
will pay expenses and leave any profit.
last wear the total assessed valuation
of all the roads was about $12, 600, 900
Tho commissioners have raised the
~-aInation to $40, 500, 185, or nearly
e90 600 600. So we will expect The
railroads to pay taxes on about elgh

WHERE DO THEY STAND?

Will the NeWs and Observer, the
State Chronicle or some other Demo
cratic papers tell us where the Demo
cratic leaders of the country stand on
the two following questions?
1. Do they favor the abolition Of the
National Banking system?
2. Do they favor the issue of money
direct to hepeople, by the government,
at two per cent. interest and in suffi-
cient volume to meet the demands of
the legitimate business of the country?
Gentlemen, these are simple, plain
questions and can be easily and readily
answered. What is the answer?

But surely a mother who has made all

Dl.sassIs C. Punishment for SIM

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
DO you wish to know the quickest
way TO cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly. it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tlsd IN the system. This can always be
done If you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, IN most cases, is dry. loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon fol,
lowed by profuse watery expectoration
and the sneezing by profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to dor 1t is only neces-
sary to take Chsmberlain's Cough Rem
edy in double doses every hour. That
will greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will effectuslly counter
act 1t, and cure what would have been a
severe cold within one or two days time.

Occurred in 1888.
There are undoubtedly many men and
women in New York today w no went down
IN the Battery and cheered and waved their
hands in greeting to the first steamship
that entered this port from Europe. This
important event took place on April %
1S3s and it was doubly interesting and sig
nifcant because not only the first transat.

boron that day, but the second also, steam
travel across the sea thus beginning with
race that was earnestly contested and bril-
Hantly won.
Furthermore it was race that attracted
infinitely more attention than any of the
contests that have succeeded it. Two
steam vessels had crossed the Atlantic in
years previous, both having started from
this sde-the Savannah, from Savannah
in 1919, and the Royal William, from Que
bee. in 1SS1-but neither of these VOYAGES
mad demonstrated the feasibility of aban-
douinc the fine sailing packets and clippers
for steamers when it came to long vow
age.
The Savannah used both steam and sail
during eighteen of the twenty-five DAYS re-
gurel for q passage to Liverpool, and more
than one clipper overlook and passed her
during the voyage. The ROYAL William,
had 10 utilize all her hold for coal in order
to carry sufficient fuel to insure cornple
tion Of the voyage. Public interest, ac.
cord.u-ly, was deeply stirred on both sides
Of the ocean when, in 1887, it was learned
thaJ TWO steam vessels were on the stocks
bu.idug for the American service.
These were the Sirius, at London. and
the Great Western, at Bristol. 1t was these
