Rear-Adm1ral Stanton Detached From
Command.
WASHINGTON, oct. 25.-The Navy De-
partment learned by authority late to-
day, by telegram from Rear-Admiral
Stanton, in command of the United
States naval forces at Rio de Janeiro, that
this officer had saluted the flag of Ad-
miral Mello, commanding the insurgent
fleet. This salute was unauthorized by
any instructions the Admiral had re-
ceived.
1t was an unfriendly act toward a
friendly power. and the Secretary of the
Navy, after consulting with the Presi-
dent and Secretary of State, issued an
order detaching Admiral Stanton from
command of his squadron and turning IL
over to Captain Picking, the next Off
Ger in rank. This was in reply to the
telegram of inquiry.
Secretary Herbert expressed surprise
that all officer of Admiral Stanton's ex-
perience and standing should commit
such a blunder, and his prompt action

SENATORS AND TRAIN

the following abusive editorial against
all free coinage Senators without re-
gard to party name or section:
aTbere is a curious similarity be-
tween the ideas of right and wrong
held bv the silver Senators, and tne
ordinary train robber. In the Senate
we see is Senators representing about
1850, 600 people upholding leglSlaIlon
which is practically robbing sixty-three
millions of their fellow countrymen'
In the ordinary train robbery we have
four men hold up about $50 people, n
average number of passengers III d
train. The proportions are practlcany
similar. On the whole perhaps
train robber is the less culpable IMAM
the silver Senators. He at least is as
rule a man of little or no education
subject from his birth to brutaIlzlng IN
huences, and makes no attempt to eX-
cuse his crime by posing as a d1slnter.
ested agent, working for the good OF
his country.
1.-The Senators, on q contrary eA-
cuse their system Of robbery by pro-
Tossing to be really guarding the coun,
try from becoming a victim of wicked
goldbugs of Wall street, and the grasp
ing and bloated capitalist of England.
For our part we prefer the train robber
every time. He is an honest wolf and
don't attempt to conceal himself in the
skin of his unfortunate victim"
The above editorial is a fair sample
of dozens that might be taken from the
organs of plutocracy. Instead OF 1t
Senators, representing ], $50, 900 people,
there are about 80 and they represent
nearly two-thirds of the people in
America. Senator Vance alone repre-
sents North Carolina and she has near
ly 1,65O,O 900 people. Ransom doesn't
represent anybody or any country. He

POETS OF NORTH CAROLINA.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-The first and only
general collection of North Carolina
poetry was made by Mrs. Mary Bayard
Clarke, of New Berne, in 1854, and
published in two volumes with the
title OF WORD Notes or Carolina
Carols This was appreciated in the
literary circles of the State. 1t in
cluded some worthy verse, but was
chiefly burdened with material which
was more patriotic than m~eritorious.
Our best poetry has been written
since the war. The storm forced music
from the Tyre. About a dozen volumes
Of poems have been published, and
countless rhymes have appeared in the
current magazines and newspapers of
the day. 1t is needless to say that the
great mass Of our poetry is absolutely
worthless from a literary point of view.

But the wheat should not be neglected

All available poems have been care
fully examined, and the best, in my
judgement, retained. I do not claim
great merit for all in the collection.
and doubtless there is some valuable
verse which I have failed to secure.
Yet I believe that in this collection of
eighty poems by twenty eight writer's,
is embraced our chicest verse. Labo-
rious research, extensive correspond
ence, and help from high sources have
been resorted to in the preparation of

SOME OF THEM sUCCUMB.

One of the editors of the atlanta
Constitution, who spent some time in
Washington recently, wrote his paper
as follows:
"There is no way in which I a
convey to your readers ever a FAINT
impression of the contempt which a
powerful and prevailing element here
has for the opinions of those who do
not hasten to endorse without investi-
cation or discussion the various plans
that are put forward in the interest of
the banks. 1t is curious to note what
measures this prevailing element take
in order to register it's contempt for
those whose sympathie5 are with the
people. One of these measures is the
treatment accorded PETER in the organs
and in the buzz about the Capitol PEI
fer is a Populist, but he is made the
target of attacks that are clearly in
tended for all who think that legisIa-
ton ought to be in the interest OF the
people,"
Can anybody who reads the Northern
papers fail to be impressed by this fact?
Mr.. Harris continues:
For, although PETER is a PopuIist,
a great many of the views he holds are
rigidly Democratic in their origin and
intention, and it is those very Demo
cratic views that are lampooned and
satirized. Consequently it is no won
der to me that when a Democratic Sen
ator rises to speak in behalf Of the PEG
pie he should feel that all the batteries
of metropolitan criticism are leveled at
him, and that all the elements to which
money gives power and position are
opposed to him. Men who are vain are
embarrassed and those who are weak
kneed succumb. They are not bought
or bribed."
Commenting on the above the Rich
mond Star says:
"They simply 'succumb.' This is it
exactly. 1t doesn't always follow that
a man who forsakes the cause Of the
people is bought or bribed by a stipu.
lated amount of money. Some men are
soawed by the self assumption and i'm
p~erialism of the moneyed classes that
their craven natures readily 'succumb,'
as Mr.. Harris expresses it. That is all
there is in it.

OFFICE OF
The Legislative Committee,
514 # street

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 4, 1898.
To the Members of the Senate and of
the House Of Representatives:
GENTLEMEN In behalf of the farm
ers Of the United States, we ask your
honorable committee to leave, undis-
turbed, the duties now imposed upon
agricultural products, which are i'm
ported into this country, to be sold in
competition with the products Of the
farmers Of the United States. l. is
generally conceded that, in former re-
visions of the tariff, agriculture has not
received the same measure of c
ton accorded to other Industries; and.
IN the late revision, the farmers an.
peared before the committee and
secured, in nearly every instance, such
duties as have proven of great benefit
to them; and they desire that these
duties be maintained as long as Drotec-
ton is accorded to any industry in the
land.
We earnestly protest against the re.
moval OF the duty from any agricultu-
raj product, such as wool, vegetables.
fruits, hay, eggs, live stock, dairy
products and tobacco, unless the
products of the factory and mine be
also left without protection. Wool is
the finished production of the farmer.
just the same as cloth is the finished
product OF the manufacturer.
we seek no class discrimination in
u favor, and ask that none be made
against us.

SILVER COINAGE FROM 1892
TO 1873.

In q recent interview Secretary Car,
Isle is reported to have given the total
coinage of silver dollars from the estab,
lishment of the mint, in 1892, to 1873,
as but S., O45, 838. While this statement
is true as far as it goes, it is but half
the truth and therefore is likely to mis-
lead, and especially as the Secretary's
reputation for fairness and impartiality
may put people off their guard, in a
matter of this kind.
The fact is that while but a little
over S., 600, 900 of standard silver dol
lars were struck in the period stated,
it is also true that up to 1858 all frac-
tional silver coins were full legal ten
der for all debts and the conversion of
silver into these coins was as free as
into standard dollars and more than
ten times as much silver was coined
into fractional coins in the period
named, as into dollar pieces, so that
over 500, 900, 600 of full legal tender
coins were coined III the period named,
instead of IS, 600, 900, as might be in
ferred from the Secretary's statement.
Instead, therefore, of fifty times as
much silver being coined under the
acts of 1873 and 1890 as was coined
prior to these acts, only about five
times as much has been coined, while
population has increased from 4,000,-
900 to IS, 900, 900. More than that, the
principal foreign coins were full legal
tender in the United States down to
1857, or four years before the war.
How many of these f)reigu coins circu
lated in this country is not known but
elderly people remember we'll when the
Spanish miIied dollar, the Mexican dol
lar, the dollar of Bolivia, the Spanish
quarter and the English shilling were
common coins in this country. There
was free coinage therefore not-Only at
our minis. but at all the principal minis
of the world, and what difference did it
mako where or at what particular mint
the coin was struck? Coinage was free
and the coins were full Legal tender. All
silver in the world was potentially
money, as it should be now. Nor did
it make the slightest difference in the
world whether our coins at that time
were mostly gold and those of Germany
silver, or whether the coinage Of
each country was equally divided. The
important fact is that gold and silver
together, all there was in the world,
was potentially monsy and the stock
Of the two metals went in to make up
the money supply Of the world.

COST OF CARRYING RAILROAD
PASSENGERS.

The zone system of railroad rates,
which is so successfully operated in
Hungary, has made a deep impression
upon James L. Cowles, well known in
railroad circles. He says:
Distance costs practically nothing
in the transportation of freight or of
passengers, and, therefore, distance
should be disregarded in discrimina-
ton of rates. The rate now charged
for the shortest distance for any par
ticular service is the rate that shOuld
be adopted for all distances. When
once a train starts from Boston to San
Francisco, there isn't man living that
can tell the difference in the cost of
running that train, whethera passenger
leaves the train at the first station out
of Boston, or goes through from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast"
Mr.. Cowles further says that there is
not so difference between running a
train from Chicago to New York, full
of passengers, or empty. It does not
cost $500 to haul a train bearing 600
passengers from New York to Chicago.
One dollar per trip per passenger would,
In his opinion, pay all expenses, IncIud-
ing reasonable return for capital in
vested. The New York Central and
Lake Shore roads are carrying passen-
gers on their Exposition Flyer" for
$31, of which S. goes to the Wagner
Company. If Mr.. Cowles knows what
lie is talking about, the public, which
gives these companies their franchises
and then p~atronizes them, is being
swindled. The country is becoming
very sensitive on the railroad question.
Their administration has of late been
so disgracefully careless and the com
binations been so ~wantonly extensive,
that the demand for public ownership
is growing louder every day. 1t is the
only way oUt.-BeUGmy.
