STRUCK A RESPONSIVE CHORD.
Comments Of Senator Stewart on
Pennoyer's Proclamation,

Governor Pennoyer received the
following letter from Senator Stew
art of Nevada
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 1893.
My Dear GOVERNOR am glad to
learn from your Thanksgiving proc
lamation that you are mindful of
the fact that there 10 no reason to
be thankful for anything that has
been done during the past year by
either of the legislative or executive
departments of the government Of
the United States. The insolent
hypocrisy, false pretenses and cor.
ruption by which the gold ring ele.
waited q man from Wall street to
the great Office Of president has
produced results which have filed
the country with want, misery and
despair. The subjugation Of the
legislative department of the gov
eminent to the control of the money
changers and stock gamblers
through the fundamentally of
money, a subsidized press, and ex.
ecutive usurpation, is q menace to
constitutional government.
The decree which repeats the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
act and ratified and confirmed the
infamous act of 1878, if it can not
be reversed, doolhs the masses to
poverty, nisery and financial SER
vitude. You are right. This is no
time for gratitude, except to the
Creator.
Organization to resist the OPP
preston of the money powers and
usurpations of the executive is the
duty of the hour. The final battles
for justice, financial independence
and constitutional freedom must be
fought in 1894 and 1896. The en-
envy Of the. people is entrenched in
power and supported by every par
asite, shylock and changer
in Europe and America. Nothing
can prevent the rule of the gold OIL
igarchy but united and determined
action by the people before they are
subjugated and their means of re-
sistance exhausted.
Thanking you for your noble and
patriotic course, believe me, yours
truly,
WILLIAM NJ. STEWART.

Will Swell the Populist Vote.

The edict has gone forth from
Southern democratic headquarters
that all who oppose Mr.. Cleveland
and his administration must be
read out of the democratic party.
The Southern press are all in favor
OF this proscriptive discipline with
the exception Of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, the Memphis Commercial
and one or two papers Of less note.

Governor McConnell's speech at

facts and figures in favor of bimet-
allism that carried conviction to the

inspired Nestor Of the republican
party. Little did they dream that
the governor had appropriated for
that momeptous occasion the me.

Professor Fosters Views on Silver.

Several weeks ago, Mr.. John
Owen, q prominent mining man OF
Idaho Springs, Col, wrote to Mr..
Foster, the noted weather prophet,
asking him to give some forecasts
in regard to silver. He received
the following letter in reply:
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 7.
DEAR SIR: Yours of s.hes4ssh re-
ceived. We will get no silver legis-
lation in our favor while Cleveland
is president. When he goes out we
may change our financial policy,
making silver the basis of our mon
etary system. If the silver produc-
ing States could be relied on for
straight work, we would certainly
restore silver, but we have little
faith in the silver States. If your
Representatives had adopted Popu-
list principles and stood squarely
by silver in 1890, accepted nothing
but free coinage at 16 to /, the
Sherman bill would have been de-
feated. But your Representatives
in Congress compromised with the
oddities making silver commodity,
like wheat, corn, ETC., instea | Of
making fiat money out Of it. We
Of the agricultural States fear that
your Representative will again com
promise with the gold power and
desert the true principles Of the
Peoples party. 1t is woefully
wrong to legislate for higher price
for silver as it is to legislate for a
higher price for wheat, but that is
just what the silver States did in
1890. They are now reaping their
reward. If we do not need silver
for use as money, then there should
be no legislation on the subject.
am Populist, have stood for those
principles oil along since 1873, and
therefore have no faith in silver leg
islation except along Populist lines.
Yours truly, W. 7. FOSTER.

register of the treasury, shows that
in October, 1892, the value Of reg

be held by persons of foreign ma
tionality amounted TO about SIS,
800. 600, Of which only 1880, 900
appeared upon the foreign ledgers.
1t is evident, says the report, that

ACCEPT A SLIGHT cur.
Richmond and Danviiie Trainmen
Agree to a Scaled Reduction.

Richmond and DanviiIe Trainmen
Agree to a Scaled Reduction.
For good while past the receipts
of the Richmond and Danville Rail
road Company have shown d heavy
decrease, and the management found
it necessary to reduce expences in
every possible direction. This action
was taken more than two months ago
and many reductions of force were
made, but as the decrease in receipts
continued it was found necessary to
reduce salaries, and on September 1st
the pay of all officers receiving 300
and over was scaled 10, 10, and 20 per
cent, except with trainmen such as
conductors and engineers.
1t was hoped that the wages of
these traInmen would not have to be
reduced, but it has since been found
necessary to do SO on account of the
continuance in falling off of business.
The Richmond Dispatch says that a
conference was arranged with the
trainmen and the situation has been
thoroughly explained to them, and
after due consideration they agreed
with the officers of the road that from
October 1st the wages of al such men
receiving as much as $50 and not over
S65 per month should bo reduced
per cent; and all receiving over S65
per month and ten per cent.
The officers Of the road, as well as t he
| men regret this action, but it was
| forced by the dull times, and the
necessity for action of this kind was
| realized as clearly by the employees
| as by the officials

OUR TOBACCO MARKET.
THE JOURNALS REVIEW OF THE.
WEEK ENDING OCTOBER IL.
The Receipts of Leaf Rather Light
Collections Not SO Good-Large
Shipments of the Weed.

Loose receipts of leaf the past week
have been quite satisfactory to the
trade and the warehouse people,
though they are not as large yet as
would be expected at this season.
Sales last part of each day only, but
we are nearing the busy selling season
and soon full breaks will be in order.
The receipts of the past week con-
sisted of good sprinkling of new
stock along with some extra fine old
leaf from the '92 crop. New tobacco
is coming in freely and will soon make
up the great bulk of each sale. 1t is
thought that much old tobacco is
still held by planters, but what per-
centage of the crop it is hard to say.
Prices are good considering the con-
tinaed depression in money affairs.
Good filters sold at fair figures this
week, and We're eagerly taken by local
manufacturers and dealers. If Con-
gress would relieve the country by
prompt action the prices on leaf
would doubtless advance without de-
lay.
Manufacturers report poorer collec-
tions again. Orders are fairly good
though small. The shipments for the
past week were good as the stamp
sales given below will show:

He and his son went out into the
woods before breakfast to cut a sweep
for a cane mill. D The boy cut one side
and began on the other. Mr.. NcNiel
was standing with his back towards a

to him to move to one side in order to
get out of the way of the tree. He
made this request. several times and
Mr. McNiel failing to heed he went up
to him and found he had cut his
throat with a razor which was still in
his hand. The cash reached cleal
around his throat, severfne the wind

was carried to the house and medical

CAT WITH FALSE TEETH.
Young Dentists ENperim emit with
Feline Patient,

From Harper's Young People.]
The cat that owned the false teeth
had lost his own, and had had his
jaw broken besides by a drunken
wretch who beat him with q cObble-
stone. With great care the. poor
animal finally recovered, but he had
to be fed with little milk In a spoon
for long time. When able to pur-
sue his ordinary business of catching
rats and mice, he could not eat them,
because he had no teeth to chew with.
Something must be done for him,
for life supported on "spoon vittles"
was burden, and a young dentist
in the neighborhood, who had
| become greatly interest in the up-
fortunate cat, resolved to try the
experiment of making him a set of
| false teeth.
Taking the east for the plate was
a terrible piece of work, as Captain
| objected to it with all his might, but
it was nothing to what followed
when the teeth were fairly in. If the
animal had plunged and scratched
while the plate was being fitted, he
acted like mad thing when it was
firmly attached to his jaw-although
it was well made and fitted perfectly.
He could not understand that it
would enable him to continue the
luxurious feasts to which he had
been accustomed, and for several
days he was furious over it. Every
possible and impossible scheme was
tried to get the uncomfortable thing
out of his mouth. He etorC at it with
his claws He shook his head
violently to make it drop out, he
butted against heavy pieces of furni-
ture, and if any one came near him
he growled and scratched at them.
There seemed to be danger of his
going mad, and his friends were
sorely puzzled to know what to do
with him, when, greatly to their
relief, he calmed down and appeared
to have come to the conclusion that
his new possession was after all a
blessing in disguise. He was once
more gentle and affectionate, as he
had been previous to his misfortune,
and the plate was now often taken
out between meals and put back
again. In this way it was worn
comfortably for over year.
