The New York EUeaiag Post says Of
the appointment of Collector Hendricks
that 1t is a thorough political appoint
ment, and is made in complete defiance
of the Presidents civil service reform
pledges, but, ait is to be said that if
political considerations, rather than
merit and fitness, are to be the deciding
qualifications, there are reasons for
thankfulness that man of such ex-
cellent personal character has been

In the platform of the New York
Democrats, as printed in The GAZETTE
last week, the convention was made
to say: 1--WE are against the coinage of
any dollar of the United States" The
sentence should have read 1--WE are
against the coinage of silver dollar
which is not of the intrinsic value of
every other dollar of the United States"
This is sound financial doctrine, and
should be the keynote of every Demo-
cratic utterance on the silver question.
If the Ohio Democrats had been wise
and honest enough to have spoken out
thus squarely and uncompromisingly
for an honest dollar--a hundred cents
worth Of silver--they would have saved
themselves from being handicapped
in the race they are making; they
would have forced their opponents
to act on the defensive Of their sill
yer, as well as on their tariff
plank, and, if they had been beaten,
they would at least have been beaten
without a sacrifice of honor to expe-
diency.

Wilmington d. Baltimore railroad at the
Blue Ball crossing, Elkton. He was a
lahorer on the section gang at work near
the point where he was killed. He went
to get drink of water az the watch box
on the crossing, and was Fastening
around the corner Of short fence near
by when he was struck by the pilot of
tie engine of the fast train lie was
struck in the small Of the back and
hurled 20 feet into a public road His
unek and right leg near the thigh were
broken, and lie received deep cut on
tie right temple. lie was killed in
stantly lie was 10 years Of age. The
coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary.
Owing to relatives being dissatisfied

sunday morning last by pistol in the
hands of his cousin, Percy Carr, aged
| l5, n warrant was issued for young

this simple statement'
The Carpet idea came from
the East Solomon had Car
pets-a Legendary silken Car
pet among them that would
convey him and his court any
where at will. But the Carpet
star moving westward has
fixed its Empire in America
and its court in t. city. 1t
is claimed that a single ward
in Philadelphia produces more
Carpets than all England.
Be that as it may we started
in some years ago to give this
city a real Carpet Store. The
work is accomplished as our
corps of Carpet Knights
true knights Of sales, will
show you if you challenge
them.
1t is not invidious to tell
you the well-known truth that
the great-greateSt-stock OF
Carpets is assembled here.
No business remains at a
permanent point. Failure to
progress is decadence. That's
commonplace, but important
we know it, yon know it.
Hence no backwarI steps
here. We open the Fall sales
with all the new Carpets of
each sort and in all grades.
The tendency Just now is
toward low tones and soft
tints Of color. There is some
disposition for plain Carpets
aesthetic colors. The walls
and furniture will control
choice. Our duty, now that
you are opening up the home
again, preparing for the do
nestle comfort and social life
Of the Winter, is to tell you
that your Carpet questions
can be best settled here-and
you probably haze Carpet
questions.
The prices are always the
least in the market. All short
quantities go the Remnant
Room, a prolific Bargain spot,
where made-up Carpets and
quantities for single rooms
slip away at a third off. Passe
styles are forced out the first
year and thus the stock is al
ways fresh, clean, novel.
Wiltons, Administers, Mo-
quettes, Velvets, Brussels,
Tapestries and lngrains are
here in force, so are Rugs
Smyrna Rugs (made in town.
choice Scotch Administers, and
Oriental Rugs rare and valu-
able.

= GREAT MISTAKE.

We see from the National Al
lance, organ OF the colore6
Farmers Alliance OF the United
States that Il. NJ. Humsphries
General superintendent, ha.
perfected arrangements for {
general strike Of the coIorei
cotton-pickers throughout thu
South, to go into effect on the
18th OF this month, which wal
last Saturday. He advises them
to go about it peacefully an6
stand firm until their demand
Is granted. They want 81 pei
hundred for all cotton they
pick.
We think this a great mis-.
take on ia. part OF our colored
friends at this time. With cot
ton ceiling at Z and 8 cents there
Is absolutely no profit it it. So
even 80 cents per hundred is a
b1g price, fully equal to the
price OF the cotton. An addi-
tional 50 cents per hundr. d
means 1888 added to the cost
OF raising the cotton after it is
ginned. II lint cotton was sell
Ing at 10 cents our farmers
would just be where they now
are after adding the extra $3.50
to the cost of raising and pick
ing.
The white farmers of the
South are the best friends the
coiored people have. Some of
them have not treated them as
they should, but generally
speaking the negroes have pros
pered where the whites pros
pered. The negro farmer and
the white farmer are both on
the same platform to-day. They
are suffering from the same
cause and the movement now on
foot is not calcula ted to remedy
the evils.
1t is the duty of our white
Alliance people to see that our
colored farmers have an eouaI
chance in life. But in taking
this step the colored Alliance
men attempt to better their
condition at heexpense of their
white brethren. Reforms shonld
lot De IN the interest of one
portion OF our farmers at the
expense of another Ii both
white and colorei farmers can
better their condition at the
same time, then the country
will be better for all classes
But for either color to benefit
themselves at the expense of
the other, it is simply a family
throat-cntting business. IT our
white and colored farmers can
hy a united effort, remedy our
financial system, get better
prices for the products we raise
raise the price of farm labor.
then all will have an equal
chance to succeed. But as we |
see this cotton-pickers' strike.
lt is a direct blow at farm
owners which will cost a great |
zeal and amount to nothing in
ne end. One thing ia certain.
Jur formers cannot afford toll
