which seeks to know what
The Republic wants in the sil
yer issue, a few wishes We
have been entertaining.
The democratic party is in
power, and we want to show
the country that it can gov
ern economically and wisely
and can respond to a public
opinion every time.
Mr.. Cleveland represented
the eastern democratic iden
OF coinage-a gold standard
until an International agree
ment can be reached. The Re-
public represents the West
ern idea of free coinage on an
American basis; and we hope
that the West end South will
never get 40 far wrong in the
monometalic silver direction
that they will put Cleveland
in the right by comparison.
We want the democratic
party to show thacthere can
be disagreement about the
currency -on whic no h a ] +

rending, crashing and part

We want every democratic
leader to be vaccinated a

want Pennsylvania and Ida
no to get Just a. rich as they
can. And we want not a cent
of this wealth to he bestowed
by legislation which taxes
other States for that espec.

We want the democratic
party to swear before the peo
pie upon the Constitution
that a Government of our
} kind does not give money to
q private citizen because he
wants it, but tells what hon
est money is and let's II i m
get as much as he needs to
pay his debts and transact
his business Just as he gets
anything else he needs.

topurchase some large tracts
of land.
One wants not less than
10000 acres for grazing pur-
poses, another wishes a large
body OF land upon which to
locate an English ,olony;;|
and another one is desirous
of purchasing 10000 or Is,
900 acres ofhard timber land
or short leaf pine.
Is there any reason Why
North Carolina cannots tsecdre
these enterprises? We think
not. There will be no trouble
in meeting the wants Of those
people, provided owners of
such lands will make it
known. Unless North Caro-
lima rises to the demands of
the occasion, other states
quite enthusiastic on this sub
iect, will reap tie benefits OF
having such enterprises in
troduced within tlleir Dor,
ders.
1t may not he possible to
obtain the laudsin such large
bodies in Piedmont North
Carolina, but thers are such
tracts available in any wes-
tern country.
Just q little effort secured
the W'aldenses in Burke and
that people are delighted and
the community bettered.
Such would be the resnlt
should the proper effort be
made in these latter moves.
We have seen the letter and
the gentlemen, seeking these
properties, are dead in earn

FROM present appearances there wi

FROM present appearances there will
be a great rush to the SLOGAN country
this season. Already hundreds of men
are tlocking to the new Eldorado, the
majority of them being ~workingmen or
prospectors. There is but one way to
check an Epidemic of this kind and that
is to let it e itself out. We have OBJ
served, however, that Il month or two of
exposure and hardship effectually cures
the most virulent attack, unless the
treatment kills the patient. In all ser
iousness we would offer a word of
friendly advice to the Montana prospec-
tor who contemplates going to the Slo-
can district. Don't be in a hurry. The
veins Of ore that are there now will be
there two months hence. Those which
are undiscovered now will b. undiscov.
cred then, for nobody is going to dig
through the snow to find them.
A trip to SLOGAN now means q month
or six weeks, at least, of enforced idle
ness, and living there is by no means as
cheap as 1t is in Montana. A meal o
bread and bacon costs q dollar, and the
same price is charged for sleeping &C
commodations of the commonest kind
Little work of any kind is to be had a
present, and even when work begins
there will be dozens of men for ever,
job. These are facts, and to those VIII,
can afford to go to Kaslo and wait til
the snow goes off we have nothing te
say. But the workingman or p%rospecto
with but little money will do we'll t

AS the time approaches for the cleo
trocution OF Carlisle w. Harris, the ac-
tivity Of a goodly number of we'll mean
ing but misguided people, in their Of
forts to obtain q communication OF sem
tence or u pardon for this social mon
ster, increases. Harris is a conspicuous
example of the most dangerous, heart
less and despicable class of criminals
who infest society, and it is a remarka-
BILE thing that those who are most ao-
tive and unceasing in their efforts to
secure a mitigation of his punishment
are mothers whose daughters are ex-
posed to the communicating influence Of
villains like Harris. OF course the
blind devotion of his own mother is as
beautiful as it is sad, but that he should
be the recipient of the sympathetic eff
forts of other good mothers can hardly
be explained On any reasonable grounds.
AS it is the demand of the law that he
suffer death, it is n fortunate thing that
the time for his execution is not far dis
tant. His taking off will rid the world
of a conscienceless man, and will remove
all excuse for keeping the memory Of
him and his shocking crimes alive.

The RetOrt Courteous.

Boston AGye tiser? From what crazy nttic
of II tumbling brain house did it dig out
this: "ike soaia! condition of our gren

The social condition of the great American
metropolis is all right, and it was not q

Ir has become the fashion by the par
tisans of defeated candidates to attrib-
ute the victory of the successful to "the
worst elements Of society,"" and then la
mont in lugubrious tones the demorali-
cation of tho politics of the country and
the ascendancy OF these worst ole
ments." These pessim,sts always reckon
themselves as belonging to the "bstter
olnsses" and assume to themselves vir-
tues not conceded to the majority. They
agree with Matthew Arnold's classifica-
ton of people into the minority and
the remnant" but it may be taken for
granted that the majority of the people
know what they want, and in this coun-
try the will of the majority is the will Of
the people.

BENJAMIN HARRISON, it seems, did not
lose hope entirely when he lost office.
He is credited with saying that "if the
battle Is kept up victory will once more
perch on the banner of the republican
party" Should q member Of the fourth
generation OF the house of Harrison
being the second from Benjamin, as he
is the second from William Henry--sver
occupy the White house as the presi-
dent of the United States, it will not be az
arepublican. That party will long since
have joined the party of the first Har-
rison, and the fourth Harrison will know
them both only as history.

CABINET life, according to two mem

time very expensive. Ex-Secretary
