CRANKY COMFY.

BY crank In Coxey. who has mus

stupendous crank Of the age, to be sure.

their ranks, and several hundred tore
off their badges a few days ago and
gave the thing up.
The advance guard of the wild and
silly crowd reached Washington by
railroad Saturday, perhaps thinking to
make arrangements for the On-comlng
army; but the police Of the city
promptly met them and marched them
to the station. They were to be charg-
ed with vagrancy and may get some
time on the public roads.
The whole thing Is a most stupen-
dous craze. and it is strange, indeed, to
note how people along their route en-
courage their foolishness by giving
them provisions and helping them
along
We hope their march may be called

WHAT IS SEIGNIOR1GE ?

Perhaps many have heard and used
the word "seigniorage" recently with
out having very clear conception Of
what it is. The New York Recorder
held a prize contest for the best defini-
ton of seigniorage recently. The fol
lowing is the definition that took the
prize:
''Seigniorage consists Of the differ
ence between the cost Of All amount of
bullion and the face value of the coins
minted from it. Z. the Sherman act
the Government YVES compelled to pur-
chase 4, 100000 ounces of silver at the
market price. As the price of silver
fuctuated, so the amount of Treasury
notes Issued III payment of this bullion
sometimes diminished. The down
ward tendency having been greater in
the last few years, there were issued,
from the time of the passage of the
Sherman act to its repeal, 1854 GOO 600
IN Treasury notes, to cover an amount
OF bullion which should actually have
made 2O9,OOO,OOO silver dollars. In
other words, there is now an amount of
bullion IN excess of the reserve neces-
sary to cover the 1854 100000 Treasury
notes in the Treasury which, if coined,
would make 100000 silver dollars.
against which the seigniorage bill was
to issue paper currency and so put 500
100000 in the Treasury and help the
government out of its financial difficult
ties"

GEN. GORDON'S LECTURE.
cussiOll.

While in Norfolk last week we had
the pleasure Of hearing Gen. John B..
GordOn's lecture on .'The Last Days Of
The Confederacy" He spoke for two
hours and from his first sentence to the
last, the vast audience of 1000 people
gave him perfect attention.
1t is great lecture and quite popu-
lar. 1t will elicit loud applause from
any audience from Maine to California.
It sparkles with wit and humor,
abounds in flowing eloquence and one
is glad he heard it.
But as Gen. Gordon is United States
Senator rom Georgia, we suggest that
most of his time belongs to his senate
rial duties in Washington And if he
is away from his post of duty in Wash
ington much, he ought to turn back
his salary for the time he is absent.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an eustachian
tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
ton, hearing will be DESTROYED forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition Of the mucous cnrfaces.

ABOVE PERSONAL INTERESTS

There seem 10 be some indications
that the North Carolina campaign Tor
the Democratic party this year viii be
narrowed 10 the lines Of personal inter
ests. We hone we arc mistaken in our
demonstrations. for the public veal
rises above the interest Of one, two, ten,
or a thousand men.
Two wears ago when the national
Democratic party was greatly divided
in strong preferences for Cleveland by
some and as strong preferences for Hill
bv others, THE DEMOCRAT said, Lay
them both aside. We said then, as we
say now, that it was useless for a great
political party to divide and bitterly
Disagree over men. How wise were
our admonitiOns we do not pretend to
say. We only know that Cleveland
has greatly disappointed the people in
every section of the country; and we
have no reason to believe that it would
have been better if Hill had been NOM
mated and elected, for he has greatly
diminished in the estimation of the
public during the past few months.
And we give the word Of warning
now that if there should spring up a
difference over the interests of men or
any set of men in North Carolina, let
it all be thrown aside The interest Of
the people is too big thing Tor men
to be considered in the matter.
Principles, and not individual inter
ests, must control our political desti-
MES.

WILL THE STA TIE TRY III!

Our Weldon correspondent writes
that number of convicts have been
sent from the State farms on the Roam
oke river to Raleigh in the hope of
improving their health. From person
al observation we are of the opinion
that every reasonable precautlon for
the health Of the convicts on the farms
is taken.
But would it not be possible for the
State to make even safer precaution
for the health of the convicts, and the
by sinking wells and getting an
overflow of water? Artesian wells have
added greatly to the health Of every
community where they have been tried,
and there is every reason to believe
that the same improvement would be
made on these farms if the State would
secure water for the convlcts from such
wells.
THE DEMOCRAT sometime last year
called attention to this possible i'm
prOvement on the State farms and we
again do so in the hope that the State
will take hold of the matter and make
a trial for pure water on these farms.

TITO MONTHS FOR THE TARIFF.

The strength of the democratic vic
tory was lodged mainly in the tariff.
1t was discussed and explained on every
stump in the land until it did seem that
every man who was unbiased in his
opinions and prejudices really desired
reduction of the tariff. Indeed the
majority of the voters of the country
SO decided and this decision swept the
present democratic Congress into pow
The President called Congress tOgeth-
er in extra session on the 7th of last
August. several months before the reg
ular time for assembling. Many per-
sons expected that the President would
in his message to that extra session Of
Congress outline some policy for the
two houses to follow in the revision of
the tariff but those who expected this
were disappointed, for the President
failed to do it. Now, after Congress
had been in session some time the act
for the revision of the tariff laws was
passed by the House, and was sent to
the Senate. 1t has been before the
committee of that body for several
weeks. And now the news goes out
from Washington that the Senate will
take two months to debate the bill
We are sorry that the country is put
to the test of waiting two months long
er before the fate of that bill is to be
known 1t does seem that men who
are, or ought to be, familiar with the
tariff laws could consider the matter
in shorter time than they have al
1CttoJ hS pCopIC 0h1obSA lOtl
the whole country turned to the pres
ent Congress and administration for
some ray Of hope and encouragement,
but it looks like their hopes are to be
disappointed.
1t is true the House made a hard
fight for the tariff bill, and we honor
that branch Of Congress for doing 50
we'll but it is little tiresome to have
to wait two months longer for the SEN
ate to pass upon the tariff bill.
We hope sto see every democrat in
Congress do his best to carry out the
platform on which he was elected, so
that those who are disposed to heap so
much upon the party may be silenced
Surely two months more is too long
to spend on the tariff matter.
