Two unknown counterfeiters

Two unknown copnterfeiters
passed through Randolph county
one day last week and traded $50
TO two citizens, butwhen viewed
closely BY them they found them
to be only two 81 bills and had
been raised TO $40 each. They
made good their escape.
Half the town Of Litchfieid,
III. is in ruins in consequence of
an explosion in flour mill, said
TO be one of the largest in the.
world. The earlier account said.
that 500 houses were wrecked.
but there is reason to hope this
is an over estimate. The calam-
ity is marked by the somber ele-
ment of tragedy, for dispatches
state that several lives havebeen.
lost. The fine particles of dust
floating in the air about a mill is
what causes such explosions.

In this land of constitutional
rights and free citizenship it is a
source of ocular qualification and
pleasure to see one by the force Of
his own courage and ability, rising
far above his fellows. and declar-
ing in plain and unmistakable
terms that he is indeed, and in
truth, entitled to the name and
distinction of the leader of the
greatest people OF the greatest
country that has ever existed in
any age, or in any CLINE. Such a
man, sir, is Grover Cleveland, a
man who in the discharge of the
multitude Of duties which have
been imposed upon him, bias been
equal to every emergency; a man
who has the power to express and
carry into effect his " convics
tons under all circumstances; a
man whom the allurements of
wealth and the power OF many
have never been able to swerve
from what he believed to be his
official duty.
We have seen him lay sside his
ofic' al roles and at the command
of the people of his country vacate
the highest Office in the land, but
even in that darkest hour of his
political career, when the clouds
hung thick around him, he was as
grand as a Roman and as brave as
the historic Saxon.
Ard now, Mr.. President, on the
eve of his second advent into the
Presidential chair of the nation,
the ewes of the whole world are
upon him, and most especially the
eyes of his sdmiring countrymen.
looking to him as their political
Joshua, whom they expect to stand
at their head and lead them by his
superior skill and knowledge out
OF this wilderness of misruie and
corruption into which they have
been plunged by the leaders OF the
Republican party.

That Lying Report.

CINCINNATI, Jan, IA Special
from Asheviile, N. c., to the Post
say. :'Calvin Snipes, the murderer,
smiled when he learned through a
correspondent, the first outsider to
reach desolated Bakersville, how
much excitement his alleged lynch
ing had created all over this coun-
try and in Europe, Nothing whats
ever bad been heard in Bskersville
of the reported trouble until the
correspondent rode thirtys6ve miles
through the widest mountain
country to find out the true State
of affairs, The region is almost
impenetrable from tue railroad
station on account of two weeks OF
the severest winter known here in
years. The mountain roads are
full OF drifted snow, and much of
the newspaper mans trip was made
in the night through a fierce biz
card. Snow fell SO thick as absos
lustely to blind a person. and the
rider had really to rely on the ins
stinct OF the horse to keep from
losing himself. Toe river, up in
the moutains, was frozen over
strong enough to bear up four
horse team and hauling was being
done over it. The thermometer
was at zero.
The citizens OF Bakersvil!e and
Mitchell county are highly lndig-
nant at who started that story, and
conld they get their hands on him
it would probably go hard with
him. The section has never beer
more quiet than during the Las'
week, when the trouble is said te
have taken place. Snipes viii
stand trial in May, and some think
he may be acquitted of the crime
charged against him. Osborne

Dealing in Options and Future.

The effects upon the markets
prices of cotton, wheat etc. result.
ing from dealing in captions" and
"intnres' are variously estimated
by different persons. We under
stand Senator Daniel to be opposed
to the Mathematical bill, which
is intended to put. a stop to such
dealings.
The subject is a very interesting
one. We have read a good deal in
regard to it. and have come to the
conclusion that the hill will not
become a law during the life of
the present Congress. It will probs
ably be amended and sent again
and again from n house of Con-
gre IS to the other, and thus fail of
passage unless it shall have been
ascertained that President Harris
son will veto the bill if sent to him
for his approval. It would prob.
ably pass if Mr., Harrison were
known to favor it. This, however,
must be conceded-namely, that
the bill has 30 many dement's that
il pass ed IN a form known to be &C
ceptable to the President it will
owe its passage to fears entertained
by the members of Congress that
the people are in favor of the enact
men. of such a law.
The immense majority which
the House Of Representatives gives
TO all propositions intended to re.
monet re silver fully is due to the
tact that the people are supposed,
as we have said, to be behind thai
bill. The bill to prevent dealings
in options and futures is another
such bill. 1t is. indeed, a paterna
proposition. Nobody can tel
whether such dealings operate fav'
orably or unfavorably upon the in
terests of the planters, farmers
and others who produce the arti,
cles. For this reason, if for nj
other, we expect the bill to fail o
passage into a law.-Richmont
Dispatch.
