"Vote as You Pray"
NORTH CAROLINA.

Neubern Journal
The American citizen has two gen
eral privileges, and every Patriot and
Christian desires to use these privileges,
and to use them in concert
Ours is, by name at least Christian
country, republic, and therefore we
pray and vole.
Why should not these privileges
AYE these duties, be used to the same
end, and always unison.
As a Chistian people we acknowledge
Supreme Ruler, who, when we con-
form to His laws, rules over all for
our best interest 4; then why should
any pray one way and vote another
If we desire peace and prosperity why
pray for it and vote against it?
The present financial condition of
our land is the result of praying one
way and voting another way The
remedy is simple and plain "Vote as
you pray"
Let lis review a few OF those wonder
full petitions given US is in the general
form suggested by our Savior:
How can a good citizen pray "Thy
kingdom Come and vote for the dew
lis kingdom? Why repeat in prayer
Thy will de done" and then go right
on and vote for that which defes the
will of our Heavenly Father. When we
pray "Give us this day our daily bread"
how can we vote to turn that bread
into liquid that destroys both soul
and body.
How can Chistian pray "Forgive
us our trespasses" and then vote to
make people trespass?
Can Chlstian pray, LEAD us not
into temptation" and then vote to
put the worst temptation known to
man right in his pathway, and see him
day after day fall into that very
temptation?
How can Christian pray, "Deliver
u from evil" and then vote to encour-
age two great evils of this land, viz !:
Love Of money and love of whisky
This great government is virtually
in the hand of professed Christian s
and if all Christians will vote rs they
pray, one decade will present such a
country for peace and prosperity as
this world never before witnessed.
Why not let us who profess to pray
unite our vo:e, and prayers to the ac-
conn lisllment of this great and much
needed reform.

a definite object in view, and work,
dare, and sacrifice in order to gain even
a fire fly glow.
A cutting manner of speech, is not
always frankness, as many people think,
and does not always indicate an honest
heart, but often bespeaks the coarse na-

no good accomplished. Why refer to

These plain speaking people, who will
give their opinions without being so
licited, are not very agreeable, though
they pride themselves on speaking the
unvarnisbed truth Nothing escapes
their keen eyes and they often make
us wish to be so small that no micro

MAKES A SPEECH.
Frank Newlands Talks
to Silver Men.
HE TELLS WHAT WAS DONE.
Reviews the Recent Battle i'm WASH
ington, and Advises Nevada to
Keep Up Courage.

RENO. Oct. 26.-Congressman Francis G..
Newlands arrived this morning from
Washington and stopped off here. He ad-
dressed a. large and enthusiastic meeting
at the courthouse this evening on the
issues of the day.
He said that international action de-
pended on England. and that the remone-
tization of silver could not be accomplished
there as long as Gladstone occupied the
place of Prime Minister. He said if Par
lament were dissolved to-day Gladstone
would go out, and Salisbury or Balfour,
who had made one of the most luminous
arguments in favor of bimetallism. would
take the place of the present enemies of
silver.
Mr.. Newlands said he believed the next
Congress, however, would pass a free
coinage bill without international action {;
that he was satisfied the present Congress
would retire all notes to the amount of ten
dollars, possibly twenty dollars. and put
into circulation all silver now in the
treasury. which would have a tendency to
educate the people East up to the use Of
silver. which at present they are very
much averse to, preferring dirty.and pesti-
lence carrying paper money.
He advised the people of Nevada not to
be discouraged. but while not relaxing
their endeavOrS in silver agitation. to de-
vote their attention to the development on
agricultural and industrial lines. He re-
viewed the history of silver legislation at
the present Congress, and said the money
stringency which the country Is now expe-
riencing prevented calm, thoughtful con-
sideration of the silver question; that
experience would prove that there is not
enough gold to do the business of the
world, and bimetallism would in the end
prevail.
The speaker leaves on to-night's train
for San Francisco.

GAVE HER A LIFT.
Queen Victoria Cannot
Climb Stairs.
MECHANICAL AID FOR HER.
Old Age Begins to Tell Upon the
Woman Who Has Reigned
SO Long.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Edmund Yates
cables the Tribune from london: Since
the Queen met with an accident at Wind
sor Castle. eleven or twelve years ago,
when one of her knees was injured, she
has found it very troublesome and some
times painful either to ascend or descend
staircase. This difficulty has lately in
creased SO much that lift has Just been
placed in the private apartments at Wind
sor Castle for her use, and another lift is
to be fitted uD at Osborne before the end
of next m Onth.
The Queen has greater number of
steps to ascend at Osborne than at any
other place, as her own apartments are ib
the pavilion, near the top of the house.
Lifts are also being made for Buckingham
Palace and Balmoral. which will be ready
for use early in the spring. There was a
lift in buckingham Palace for some years.
which was made for the Duke of Albany,
alth0ug b after bis death 1t was removed.
Sir Fleetwood Edwards has been acting
as private secretary to the Queen during
the absence from Court of Sir Henry Pom
sonby, who has been a great deal away
during the last seven weeks, both for holi-
day and also on duty. He has been travel
ing on secret service for the Queen.
althou the fact of his absence from Bal
moral has not been recorded in the official
Court Circular.
The Grand Dukes Serge and Paul and
the Grand Duchess Elizabeth had in tended
to go to Paris for fortnight on leaving
England. but telegram from the EN-
peror of Russia obliged them to alter their
plans. as he deemed it undesirable that
any more members of the imperial family
should visit France at present.
The signaling apparatus. invented by
Prince Louis of Battenberg, which is now
on trial in the Royal Sovereign. has re-
ceived notices of approb baton from various
competent naval judges.
The contrivance consists of sort OF COL
lapsi bic spheroid, capable of being opened
and shut like an umbrella, and visible at
sea far for greater distance than flags, by
which the Morse code signals can be mada
without difficulty. If Admiral Fairfax and
the signaling department report favorabIy
it will probably be universally adopted, to
the satisfaction of the clever inventor. who
is said to have been helped in perfecting it
by Captain Perry Scott, now employed on
the signal books at the Admiralty.

COSTLY MISTAKES.
Gold Paid for Baser Metals by Men
Accustomed to Paper Money.


When you are not accustomed to the
handling of them gold coins are nuis-
ance. They are so apt to be mistaken for
coins of baser metal and smaller den omi-
tions. to the impoverishment of the indi-
vidual who makes the blunder.
l still retain vvidly painful recollections
of an occasion when in London / paid a
ca abman a sovereign under the Impression
that it was shilling. That cabmsn had a
contract to drive me a certain distance
every night, but never clapped eyes on
him again. He evidently was a hog. He
was satisfied with what he had made out
of the contract and was willing to give
some other cabman chance.
l have no doubt that during the brief
pc riod recently when so many houses paid
of in specie because they couldn't get bills
many careless persons let gold slip through
their fingers under the impression that 1t
was silver or nickel.
One instance came under my own obser-
vation. A friend had just received his
weeks pay in fye-dollar gold pieces, and
| mpreved the opportunity to tell him my
experience with the London cabman. at
which he laughed heartily. Then, being
something of cigarette fend, he sought
the nearest cigar-store for the means of
indulgence in his favorite vice. He thrust
a hand into one of his pockets, tossed what
he thought was a nickel on the counter and
strolled out of the shop. Isball always
ratronize that cigar dealer hereafter when
/ get chance. 1t didn's take him five sec
onS to decide that he preferred nickel
with a clear conscience to five dollars with
out it. My London cabman has been
trained in different school.

OVER A BILLION DOLLARS,
Probable Expenditure in America for
Ten Years.
The Centur'

1t is only In American cities having pOpuIa-
tion of more than 10000 that less than one
third of the total lengths of streets has been
paved Ia any manner. IL The construction of
new pavementS on the remaining "a, ,S3S miles
OF streets In such cities proceeds as rapidly as
now seems probable, the expenditures for this
work Tor the next ten years will aggregate up
ward OF 81, 900 100000. 1t is doubtful II more
than go per cent OF the streets OF these cities
would then be well paved
From well-paved street abutting real estate
derives an increased value. hardly ever less
ana Often many times more than the cost ap-
portloned TO 1t. 1t is, therefore, right that
aDuIting property should. as 1t does in most
American cities. bear Ihr cost OF construction
OF Pavement, which becomes al once a sub
stantlai improvement, having salable value
on which the property-owner alone can realize.
Ire Dement'S are shared TO some extent by ad-
Jacent property which may not abut on the
street, but it is doubtful II tair and practical
apportlonment OF the cost could be carried be-
y0nu the border line, though the Justice OF
this restriction is almos iBtOlerably strained
when one paved street 1. compelled to bear the
travel that would pass over others If put in
equally good condition.
All calculations Of the economies and profits
OF paved streets fail to encompass the sum or
gain from them. because there Is much IN
volyed that Is Intangible In character. Inc
benefits OF better sanitary conditions, with the
consequent productiveness resulting from good
health, the saving OF expenses for medicines
and the professional services OF physicians;

of the retarded development OF city Que 10
failure to provide good streets.
The common mistake of regarding the cost OF
street pavement as merely luxurious expense
rather than as profitable improvement has,
more than anything else. deferred the work OF
putting the roadways of our American cities
and towns in proper condition. and, II should
be added has hindered progress and prosper

SISTERLY SELF-SACRlFICE.
A Young Girl Submits to Torture to
Save Her Brothers Life.

Rochester democrat ana CnTOnlCle.
One of the most remarkabl BILE and delicate
operations in the line of what is known as
skin-grafting was performed at the City
Hospital recently by DR.. Charles B. Barber
and several of the house surgeons. A lit
tie over two weeks ago Arthur Wheeler.
aged 5 years, living at "a Herman street.
was playing near his house with some
other children. They started a bonfire Of
dead leaves. While Arthur was running
about the flames he stumbled and fell into
the fire. His coat caught fire and before
the flames could be extinguisned his entire
breast abdomen and one side were fright
fully burned. The boy has been ever since
accident in a precarious condition. the
burns being so extensive that no new skin
could form.
1t was at last decided that the only thing
that could save the little sufferers life
was to engraft the skin of some healthy
person on the burned parts, and efforts
were made to secure some one to consent
to such an operation. 1t was suggested at
last that Miss Minnie Wheeler the seven
teen-year-old sister Of the boy. would be
just the subject. Miss Wheeler naturally
demurred at first to such proposition, but
finally consented when she was convinced
that her brothers life was at stake.
Saturday morning MISS Wheeler and
her little brother were taken to the City
Hospital-that being considered better
place than the home of the patients-and
The operation was performed. Miss
Wheeler was placed under the influence
of ether and strips of skin from
both thighs and one of the hips
were shaved off with sharp razors and
transferred to the body of the little
brother. A slight idea Of the operation
may be gained when it Is stated
that enough of the epidermis to cover two
square feet of the burned boys body was
removed from the young woman. One
piece of skin that was removed extended
from Just above the knee fully nine inches
along the thigh. The girls limbs were
swathed In bandageS and she was taken
home in an ambulance, the boy remaining
in the hospital 1t Is expected that new
cuticle will have to put in an appearance
inside of ten days. and that Miss Wheeler
will have entirely recovered before the
first of November
Nothing can be determined as to the sue
cess of grating the skin on Arthur
Wheeler for ten days to come, but is be-
lleved that the operation will result In saw
ing the boys life.
