NEW PRESIDENT OF THE ADAMS EX-
PRESS COMPANY.-Col.L l.. G. Weir, the
new president of the Adams Express
Company, has been in the employ of
the company % years, advancing
rapidly through all the lower grades
till he had charge of grand division,
with headquarters in Cincinnati. To
that city he came in 1862 as tele-
grapher, having just resigned as chief
telegrapher on General Halleck's staff.
He began life at the very foot of the
ladder. From a poor and unknown
boy he became famous among the
business men of the nation and prob
ably has no superior as an organizer.

KILLED AT BULL-FIGHT.-Fou
persons were killed and many others
injured at bull fight in the little town
of Mesquite, in the State of Jalisco,
Mexico. on Monday of last week. Two
bulls, wild and vicious, were turned
into the ring at once. TO kill these
was task designed to bring all the
fighters into action at once - A ban.
derillo approached one of the bulls,
which had been brought to bay, wav
ing red cloth. The animal charged
him but he jumped aside and drove
the iron into the thick skin of his neck
The banderillo had forgotten the sec
ond bull, which was upon him before
he knew it. The animal caught him
on his horns, tossed him over his back
and gored him through. AS others
ran to the rescue the bull raised his
head with the banderillo impaled on
his horns and charged his new foes. In
the meantime the first bull had leaped
over the barrier separating the ring
from the spectators and dashed into
the crowd. Many persons were gored
and a panic ensued, in which three
persons were killed and many injured.

The Next Congress.

The Norfolk Pilot edited by Rev.
Sam Small, expresses the hope and the
belief that neither the Republicans nor
the Democrats will have a working
majority in the next Congress, and
that a sufficient number of Populists,
Prohibitionists, and Independents will
be elected to hold the balance of
power. In speaking of what would be
the effect If the Republicans should
have majority in the House, it
says
"a Republican majority in the next
house would be a curse to the country.
The leaders of that party, with Tom
Reed to the fore, are a set of implaca-
BILE partisans. They are enemies of all
good in public policy that does not
bear their brand of Identification.
They are the friends of money, of
trusts, of monopoly, of robber protec-
tive tariffs, of Capitalization, of South
haters and every other bird and beast
of prey that has ever played cormo-
rant and cat amount in American poll
tics for third of century. Such a
majority would be obstructive to any
good measure proposed by President
Cleveland simply because he is Demo
GRAFT, and would refuse cooperation in
wise legislation with the Senate, be-
cause it has a Democratic majority,
and would make political and legisla-
tive assaults on Southern interests be-
cause the Southern people refuse to
bow down to and worship the Black
Elephant of Republicanism 1t is plain
that it would be serious calamity to
the country to have a Republican ma

"The Strike at HcShane's."

This is the title of q delightful
story. published Ivy the American
Humane Society, Il sequal to "Black
Beauty" volume which enlisted so
much attention on its appearance a
couple of years ago. Those who have
read the former volume will not need
to be told that it teaches a moral OF
incalculable benefit to the world at
large-humanity towards the brute
creation. The edition of "Black Beauty"
reached the unparalleled figures of one
and half million copies, and as the
sequal is of equal interest, we predict
for it an equal popularity. The basis
of the story is that in consequence Of
harsh treatment by Farmer Shane all
his farm and domestic animals insti-
tute strike, and by suspension of
their respective duties inculcated a
moral which resulted in a change Of
heart on the part of their hitherto
thoughtlessly cruel owner. This book

Bottling Notions.

The Seattle regency, which has its
headquarters in the Governors office
in this city, has been greatly agitated
the past week over the STANDARDS
article upon the construction of the
capitol. The logic of events and the
analysis OF the Governors character
were so palpably correct that it racked
the regency to its very center. Its
organ on the hill showed too plainly
that it was hurt and in its agony pre-
sented a mock eulogy of the Governor,
and says if the STANDARD will bottle
its " disagreeable notions for a while"
We will awake to find that our "long
deferred hopes have been realized"
Bottling notions don't 60 in this
neck O. the woods, however much the
regency and its organ may desire it.
BY the way, this is a favorite practice
among machine politicians. Bottling
notions secured the election OF Senator
Squire; it secured the nomination and
election of Governor McGraw, it pre-
vented the election OF a United States
Senator last winter, and if successful
will prevent the construction of a CAPT.
toll under the Mentzer law.
No; the STANDARD proposes to dis
cuss these matters. Notions are bot.
tied where machine methods work
and boss rule prevails. Wherever cor
ruption exists in government, wherever
the honest will of the people Is thwart.
ed it has been preceded by the bottline
OF somebody's notions.

murder case Of last summer. Man.
vile has made complaint before
Justice Rathhur, charging Thomas
Conhov With T. rJUr. in the case of the
State v. Manville, and the cxamiua-
ton into the charge takes place next
Friday. 1t is current report that this
same charge has been investigated hv
County Attorney Root, also by spe-
cial attorney appointed 10y Judge Cor
don, and both reported lack Of evil
dence to convict Of perjury. We can
not help but think a duty devolves
upon the County Attorney in this
matter that should be performed. He
is surely cognizant OF what has been
done both by him and by Judge Cor
don. He is an officer of the Justices
Court and has i. in his power to walk
into Justice Rathbun's courtroom and
i'll the interests OF economy and JUS
tice move to dismiss the proceeding
Whatever the result may be, he will
then have performed his duty. In
stead OF this, he has sent Justice Rath-
bun communication stating what
has been done and calls it an official"
notice. We will not discuss methods
OF criminal practice with Judge Root,
but non-professional men generally
think that official action in law suits
are taken i'll the courtroom and are
made a matter of record. 1t is per.
fectly plain that where Justice of
the Peace receives complaint on oath
the law requires him to investigate,
and he cannot we'll shirk the response
bility unless some other officer as
sumes it. 1t is claimed that, since the
reports above alluded to were filed,
additional evidence against Conboy
has been discovered, and we think
that County Attorney Roots place in
this matter is at the examination,
either to prosecute the investigation
or, if he deems it frivolous, to dismiss
the whole business.

Silver Certificates.

: There are few causes that have not
suffered more or less through the ac-
ton of its fool frien,!s. The cause OF
silver as a money metal is now the
victim of its own impractical cham
pions. The successful agitation of the
cause of silver, few years ago, re-
suited in an over production of the
metal; the price fell and has been
falling ever since.
The government has been buying
silver under the Sherman law and issu-
ing silver certificates upon it. These
by common consent circulate as
money, although they are not made
a legal tender. Now comes Mr.. Bland
with his proposition to "coin the
seigniorage," which is to take the form
OF more silver certificates-$55, 100000
worth. The prospect of such an infla-
ton of the currency, prompted the
banks throughout the country to in.
quire into the standing of these certifi-
Gates. Mr.. Carlisle, therefore, sought
the opinion of the Attorney General.
Mr.. Olney says they are not lawful
money; do not purport to be; are
mere certificates of deposit like the
rQcpipts Uivon IN farpoors hv o1oyo Inv
men. The discredit thus thrown upon
them will increase with an increased
issue and will operate to discourage
their circulation and the currency
thus be contracted.
Were it not for the folly of the silve,
men in not letting well enough alone
this question would not have arisen
the only effect of which will be to the
detriment OF silver.

Judge Turner's Review of the NC
Reavy Appeal Before the Supreme

Upon the matter OF the summary

Capitol Commission, Judge Turner
said
/ understand the distinguished
counsel on the other side to admit
that the decision of the English courts
have been uniform from the earliest
times in favor of the proposition that
removals from Office, for cause, could
only be made after notice and hearing.
But he says that this ruling proceeded
upon the idea that there was prop
erty in office. The ruling, proceeded
upon the idea that the right to execute
the duties of an Office was franchise
and, in that sense, that the office was
property as much as it ever was in
England. But the ruling, proceeded
also upon the idea that an individual
had property in his reputation, and
that both his reputation and his pecu-
mary interests were involved when il
was attempted to remove him from
office for cause. The rulings upon
this subject have also been very nearly
uniform in this country. We are not
disposed to deny that there is some
conflict OF authority upon the propo-
sition, but We say that the conflict is
not serious one. These courts, which
have departed from the main current
of English and American authority,
either inadvertently or Intentionally,
are not respectable in numbers, and
the decisions which they have handed
down do but little credit to their learn
ing. their research, their independence
or their veneration for time-honerod
principles. The first departure from
the common law ruling, as we find on
tracing back the literature OF the law,
took place in three or four of the

A Year Of Good Work,

The youth who ignores the natural
laws governing the management of his
physical being will develop an abnor-
NAL growth. If his meats and drinks
and vocation are such as to blunt his
intellect or deform his body, it is only
a matter of time when the immutable
laws of nature will assert themselves.
If perchance, before that time comes
the skillful physician or surgeon
changes his diet or seeks to restore his
once perfect form the pains and suffer
ing necessary to complete restoration
will doubtless arouse in the mind of
the victim suspicion that the treat
ment is not for the best.
There are laws of economic science
that are as natural and immutable as
the laws that govern the human body.
If these laws are departed from by
governments or by individuals and one
mistake follows another for q series of
years, the return to fundamental con-
ditions cannot fail to produce a state
of things which may arouse in the
minds of the less informed suspicion
of alarm and unrest.
For thirty years the government OF
the United States has been admins
tered by political party that has on
numerous occasions departed from
long established principles. It's tariff
and financial theories have been urged
OH lines that have centralized wealth,
produced paupers, robbed the masses
and built millionaires; legislators were
corrupted, spoilsmen held Offices and
the toiling masses were reduced to
penury.
In 1899, the people called a halt.
After thirty years OF misrule they de-
termined to return to those elemen-
tary principles That cannot be depart
ed from with safety. The first year of
the work q; restoration has passed.
1t has been painful process. But as
surely as the surgeons knife restores
the deformed body to just and per-
feet form, so surely will the American
body polite be better and purer as a
result of the trying ordeal.
As might be expected the few who
have proiited through the misiorlunes
of the many during the "third of
century" OF misrule do not take kindly
to the demand of the people for better
government. BY sophistry, sarcasm,
