!.
In skirmishing around for
subjects to write about we run
amuck of some curious things.
Many times they are not as
curious as they are singular.
Here is a singular fact that we
ran against the other day. IL
is a fact that many rich men
make a merchant wait for his
pay much longer than that mer-
chant would trust poor man
Well, now, you stop to wonder
whether this is a real for sure
fact or not. We can assure you
that this is a fact and any mer-
chant will testify to the truth of
the assertion They are men
who are worth from twenty to
sixty thousand dollars who
make merchants and other
trades people wait on their pay
from two to five years without
any other excuse only that they
are wealthy and are therefore
good. Another singular fact
about the matter is that the
merchants let them play that
game on them. They think
they dare not ask them 70 set
tie for fear of losing their pa.
tronage. They would not trust
a poor man that way, although
he was known TO be honest.

Mhy Recome Exclted2

A great deal is heard nova
daysabout the Alliance and its
platform. With the exception
of the sub Treasury scheme
and the proposition, under any
circumstances, Of government
ownership of railroads and tele-
graphs, we see nothing in the
platform to startle any good
Democrat; at least as to every
thing else there is room for a
debate and compromise,
AS to the b-Treasnry, the
platform demands that, or
something better or as good .
The Democratic party can east
ly give them something bet
ter" and it would be hard to
give them anything not as good.
As to the government owner
ship Of the lines Of communica.
tion and transportation, the
platform only demands this in
the event that we cannot have
a "most rigid, honest and just
state and National government
al control and supervision" oil
such lines. We think the Ali
ance may trust the Democratic
party, once in power, to estab
fish such "rigid, honest anC
| just control and supervision
as they demand. In any even
it is useless to quarrel over tn,
government ownership of rail
roads and telegraphs until th,
Democratic party has been trieC
and found wanting.
Upon the silver question tn,
Democratic party will be apt Il
harken to the sober, deliberate
voice of the people.
Upon the whole we see moth
ing IN the deliberations ant
platform of the Alliance to max,
it impossible or even Difficult
for that organization to stan,
shoulder to shoulder with tn,
Democracy. The aims and oh
J jects of both organizations ar,
the same, viz, the deliveranc,
of the masses from the greet
J and oppression of the classes
and by friendly discussion ant
mutual concessions they will
surely find honorable means Il
that great and beneficent end.

WEDNESDAY, Sept, ., 1891,


A director in the Bank of
England expresses the opinion
that not less than 100000, 900 of
gold will be shipped from Eu-
rope to America between this
time and December
Much Of the gold which has
come from America during the
past six months" he says, "has
come as a sort of insurance in
vestment.
The money which has been
sent from America" he con.
tinues, ''has not been needed IN
actual business transactions. i
has been brought here as a sort
of guarantee fund, a wherewith
oil 70 guard against any posi-
BILE contingencies. Nervous
ness-an unreasoning appre
hension of disaster to come
necessitated the presence her
of gold, and the money loane'
by America for this purpose ha
succeeded, as it was intende'
to, in allaying all fears for tn
future. Catastrophies believe
. to be near at hand have, OWN
to the presence of gold in sue
quantities, been prevented an
have failed to materialize, an
now that the gold has done il
work, it is to be returned to il
owners. y
This means simply that til

fidence is fast returning. RI

The Danyille Register says:
The case of Lawyer Nudge of
Norfolk, who suddenly jumped
into prominence in that city in
spite of a previous checkered
career, serves to show how
prone are the people Of the
South TO take q stranger by the
hand and to repose confidence
IN him without knowing any
thing of his antecedents. For
this reason a slick-tongued
stranger can often accomplish
more in a Southern town than
an old citizen la tire same line
of business. A drummer re-
remarked to us some time ago,
i'm talking on this line, that he
never attempted to sell goods
in his native town, simply be-
cause he was too well known,
and not unfavorably known
either. His people, he remark
ed, preferred TO buy from strang-
ers. and for the same reason he
could always do better in
strange towns. And so it gees.
4 land agent from a distant
town come, or rather could
cometo Danville when the boom
was on, and sell large blocks Of
stock. where a man at home at
tempting the same thing would
starye to death, so prone are the
people of the South to patron
lie a slick-tongued stranger.
This is not only true Of the
business world, but it is in a
great measure the rule in the
social circle. Question the Dan
vile girls on this subject and
you will find that it often hap
pens that the strange man or
the strange lassie who comes to
town, if they have good man.

will eclipse the home folks, all
things else being equal.
Lawyer Nudge and his wife
were both very clever and very
engaging people and they were
cordially received in Norfolk.
The fact is, says a Norfolk
special, Mr.. Nudge was a big
amiat and a notorious swindler,

The great question is, Shall

IT is learned from the current
dispatches Of the day that a
gentleman in Georgia accused
his nephew Of having appro-
priated FIVE cents. The nephew
resented the imputation and
emphasized this denial by
striking his uncle over the head
with an iron bar. Thereupon
the old man drew a knife and
imbedded the blade in his
nephew's heart. The old man
is now barred from association
with the outer world and his
next appearance may be when
he is led forth with a hempen
halter. Thus IL will be seen
again that circumstances halter
cases.

whose destination vas Ell Paso. Soon
after leaving ella Bend yesterday, at 10
o'clock he was noticed to suddenly
plunge from his seat, falling across the
aisle. He could only groan and appear

chest. In twenty minutes ne was dead.
The body was brought to Tucson and
handed over to Acting Coroner Culver,

tiff I'd that death probably resulted from
heart disease. The jury gave verdict
that disease came TO his death from
causes unknown, and the body was
handed over to the undertaken, no au-
topsy being performed, it being deemed
a useless expense. The remains will be
held till this evening, when, IN the event
OF no autopsy being demanded by his
friends telegraphed in San Francisco,
the body will be buried at the county
expense.
Cards and letters in Spanish, were
found in his pockets, and a purse con-
tanning S8.65. His name was SuarZ Tor
