STILL BETTER TIMES COMING.

Morganton Herald.
II tine apostles of fusion
are not arrant frauds and
chests there nIp good times a
coming.
I They have taught on the
stump and through the press
and in secret midnight con-
clavehthht the Democratic
party iS responsible for all
ills that human flesh is heir
to.
Now that Democracy has
been defeated they m u $
make times better or ac-
knowledge that they are a
lot of bunco steerers, un.
worthy of belief and bent on
treason, stratagems an d
spoi.s.
They have told the people
that the Democrats have
made the price of wheat so
low. Let them now see to it
that wheat doubles in value.
and that cotton goes boom
ing back to twenty cents n
pOund,--Or let them make
the damning admission that
legislation is powerless to af
feet the price of agricultural
products.
They have charged t h e
democrats with cutting
down the price of labor and
grinding the face of t h e
poor. Let them now see to
it that wages are promptly
raised, that there is plenty oi
work for those that want to
work and that those who
won't work are provided
with an Office or pensiOned
off at the public expense.
They have complained that
the Democrats have made
money scarce, and they made
the money question one oi
the hOst prominent issues in
the campaign. Now lie t
them flood the country with
silve- and greenbacks, lei
them start up the mints and
put the printing presses in
motion and distribute to
every man, woman and child
the fifty dollars they have
promised; or ler them admit
that they have been guilty
OF obtaining goods under
false pretenses.
OF course, the good times
are coming.
There will be q demand for
an unlimited quantity oI
cord-woOd at two dollars d
cord, corn will bring two dol
lars the year round, money
will grow on white onk trees
and laborers will only have
20 name their prizes to get it.
Yes, good times are com
ling.
The Fusionists will give
the country
Free silver.
A gold standard.
High tariff.
Low tariff.
Free trade.
Free sugar.
A sugar bounty.
Lower goods for the peo-

MULCT|AG THE FISH DEALERS.

Big Prices for Ice.
Disseminated Against by Comp anies
Who Profit % per Ton.

That the ice companies should charge
them "A ton fer the large quantities
OF ice daily used both for their fishing
boats ana for their market business. is
source Of complaint for the fish-dealers
in the Fulton Market.
One of the leading dealers told an
Evening World" reporter this morning
that the boats and. the market used on
low average about 5000 tons Of ice a
year. The dealers. who compose the Full
ton Market Fish Dealers Association,
have no contract with the ice companies.
'In that" he said. I'VE are foolish.
but suppose what Is everybodys bust
ness Is nobody's business. and none Of
us seems inclined to take hold and ag-
tate for a change What we individually
complain Of is that We believe we are
charged much more than others who
also use large quantities OF ice.

6reweries. meat-houses and ice-cream
firms do not pay over 50 ton for their
ice, and many Of they only $3.50"
trade costs the consumers less for hand
ling than that delivered anywhere else.
l am told, on what l consider good au-
thority. that the Ice only costs the com:
In their icehouses. and that the wastage
does not exceed Is cents a ton. Add the
boar-carrying charges. which is the
cheapest rate OF transportation. and the

Negotiations for a Plant Pending
with an Electric Company.
Estimated that II Used the Cost Will
BE at Least %, 100000.

Negotiations are pending between the
Manhattan Elevated Railway Company
and the General Electric Company for
an electrical plant to take the place OF
the steam locomotive system now In
use upon the Elevated railways Of New
York City.
There is little doubt that, II a price
satisfactory to both parties can be
reached. and the economy and facility
Of electricity can be demonstrated by
practical experiments now under way
the officers of the Manhattan Company
will seriously entertain the substitution
OF an electric motor system for steam.
Negotiations have progressed as far as
. meeting OF the engineers Of both con-
Germs and an exchange OF specifications
and estimates. II Is said that the prof.
ect has been arrested temporarily by
what the Manhattan people regard as
the excessive cost OF the new plant.
The detailed estimates OF the General
Electric Company have been figured out
to aggregate "a, 900 900. which il regarded
a. excessive.
The Metropolitan Elevated Railway,
OF Chicago. has just closed a contract
with the General Electric Company to
build the generators, motors and other
appurtenances OF an electric plant for
the new Elevated raod now under con-
s'ruction In Chicago. TIE inference Is

The roll continued to befriend him. for
he had to help her to her chair. and
there, in order 10 continue some vague

sat down beside her. and In this way the
acquaintance began.
1t was the manner Johnny sang hymns,
however. which cemented the acquaint-
ance. and even opened the doors to
frie ndship. He used to think of the
farmhouse and his mother when he SANG

his eyes and his earnest manner-and be-
sides, his voice was as clear and sweet
as his mothers memory. He had q
dashing way Of singing the new comic
opera hits or music hail ballads. but a
dignity settled upon him when he sang
q hymn that affected the Duchess even
more than 1t did other people. For q
young woman OF society she was unusu-
ally religious, and the blood OF the cham
