OVERRIDING it, that has brought on the panic
and hard times of 1892, and it has begun to
slowly disappear, just as that Of 1873 did.

SENATOR DANIEL IS SPEECH.

Senator Daniels speech on Monday was
an admirable one. OF course the VINDI-
GATOR disagrees in toto with him in his
silver views. but it is not going to stop in
the middle of a campaign to argue with
him about that. His presentation OF the
situation in which the returning Democ
racy, after thirty-two years absence, found
the government, and his history of what it
has done to repair the damage to the nation
al farm and prepare it for a prosperous
future, was exceedingly strong. We trust
that his field of canvass in the State this
fall will be wide one, for we should like
every Democrat, Populist, Republican and
Prohibitionist to hear the speech that sc
many of them did hear at the court house
Monday.

EASING Up Ar THE .SOTJTfj.

The hard times are slowly but surely
easing up, and 1t is gratifying to know that
this is noticeable in the Southern States
The SnowChurch Weekly Review of last
Saturday says: 1.-The general volume of
business during the past week is report ed
as larger than early in August and much
more promising than it was Immediately
after the panic of last year. No serious
setback occurred to mar the condition of
trade during the week, and commercial
paper stands upon Il better basis. The
b oadening requirements for money in the
South is most encouraging, as indicating
renewed Investment in business enterprises.
The southern demand has previously heen
confined largely to the more prominent
banks in Georgia and Texas. The past
week the Carolnas, Alabama. Louisiana,
and some of the States north of the cotton
belt, have been in the market for loans.
and their banks have received remittances
from their correspondents in New York.

The National Republican party is per
haps as thoroughly denationalized and sec
tional Organization as ever undertook to
legislate for a country. One would think
to hear and read their utterances, that this
Union was composed of two distinct la
lions. Mark this from the resolutions
adopted by the last New Y ork State Re
publican convention:
"We denounce Northern Democratic Con
gressmen for permitting Southern members to
protect the chief products of their section
while removing OF largely reducing Drotee,
tive duties on the products of the North,
thus permitting the South, by legal enact
ment in the light of peace, to destroy our pros
perity and accomplish what it failed to do by
Illegal enactment in time Of war;"
The party has fallen into snarIing ard
decrepit old age. with mind that wanders
back to the past when there WAS nothing
good South Of Mason and Dixon's line.

1t seems that the action of the Post Office
Department in changing the name of oil.
''Appomattox G. H." to "Surrender'' was
caused by the removal of Tie county court

to US that one might be called AppomattoA

ont having much, if any, confusion. To
call historic Appomattox, Surrender - is

The Richmond Star which is largely the

suggests that decided help to Temper
ance will be found in employers paying off
their hands in the middle of the week in
stead Of Saturday nights. 1t says the fact
that Saturday night is followed by whole

workman to drinking frolic who would
never take the middle of the week to do it.

THIS WILL NOT DO.

We have, in the main, been strong sup
porter Of the present city council; we ad
mire its energy and its broad views, but
some OF its committees are managing their
financial affairs just now at IL great dis
lance from good business methods. The
committees are to blame, but the whole
council is equally to blame for permitting
it. The publication of q warning letter to
that body from City Treasurer Hoge some
days ago has called public attention to it.
New appropriations cannot he made till
April next, and yet we see that here in Sep
ready expended their appropriation, and
more than expended it. On application to
Treasurer Hoge we have obtained the fol
lowing figures

CURLING and gathering, $1,000, Sl,66S.95
Miscellaneous, So, 142, ~, 1856. 29
All of the above exhibit is unfavorable
and extravegant enough, but that of the
miscellaneous fund is the most objection
able. That fund is intended to be drawn
OH at the end of the fiscal year tOsupplemcnt
the appropriations which from unavoidable
circumstances have been Overdrawn, and
yet it was completely wiped out as early as
August, and now in September has been
overdrawn by $s44.29, more than onethird
more than the annual appropriation. Well
might the City Treasurer feel called on to
warn the council that such unbusiness-
like methods could only result in a new
issue Of bonds to pay current expenses
The fact that all this over expenditure by
committees is absolutely prohibited by a
city ordinance, makes it all the more repre-
hensible.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH SHOULD
LOOK INTO IT.

The partial arching of Lewis Greek
which is to go a long distance under the
projected plan Of street extension in its
vicinity, is already raising u selious ques-
ton OF lis sanitary effect. AS far lis it has
gone it has confined the noxious gases for a
long distance and they are finding outlet at
the mouth of the arch i;.nt south of Main
street near Water and at d point where
the whole busy population OF the town is
passing and repassing from morning Till
night. Already the offensive door has
been made cause of complaint by persons
residing in that vicinity. This is a matter
that the City Council should consult the
Board Of Health about before the further
extension is carried out. AS the matter
stands now, it is laying the foundation for
law suits against The city which will take
from it many thousands more than it will
realizes by the additional revenue expected
to follow the street extension.

Mr. EDITOR we read the
history of New England we read the
history of the American railroad. The
simplest things are the most enduring
and the Oldest r the best.
The sky, the air, the land and sea
and time itself are old, the revolution
of the earth upon its axis is exceeding
~ simple, yet these things endure. So
out of the simple minded Puritans of
New England came forth that wonder
of wonders-that mighty, potent fac
tor-the American railroad.
Now it has bound country to-
getheri in the iron bonds of union. Now
it has become our mighty thorough
fare-now it is greatest promoter
of industry-and our medium Of toll
and exchange. To-day we see the
white winged birds of traffic sailing
from diverse parts where continents
unite the oceans they divide" The
American railroad is broad in it's com
pass. Touching the distant mines and
hills it turns them into fragrance. 1t
has conveyed Americas choicest
riches. It has been her truest benefac-
tor and greatest developer. The toiIing
railroad hands merit sympathy-their
work approval.
Can as much be said for the corpor-
ate owners9 We fear not. The Amer
lean railroad owner is in the business
for money and money he rarely fails to
make. So as that iron steed speeds
across the continent, as it unites Sec
tions ''once rent with civil strife, once
drenched with ~fraternal blood" we can
only remember that the clutches of
monopoly are on it's throat and that
behind it's progress sits a veritable
monarch with his cool crimson mil
lions, the po1Cer behind the throne.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
SILER City, N. @.
Ever since the serpent beguiled
Adam and Eve, persuading them to
partake of the fruit because it was good
for food, pleasant to the eye and would
make one wise, has been the battle of
principle opposed to policy; God
against Satan. In all the ages since
that time the individual, who acted
from motives of policy alone, has
never failed to meet with a fate com
mensurate with his deeds. History re-.
calls the same of nations When old
Pharaoh said, Let us deal wisely with
this people" and afflicted them in bon
dage, he surrendered the principle of
justice and right to policy and for
reasons of state yielded to Satan. How
many wrongs are perpetrated to day
for reasons of state! May we not
further learn from the DETECTION of DO
litical parties9 The Republican party.
according to Lincoln, was for a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, yet from motives of
policy yielded special favors and pre-
negatives to certain classes until under
the very statue of liberty enlightening
the world there is slavery more CALLING
than African slavery because suffered
by those whe know what freedom is.
The Democratic party, as demon
strated by Jefferson and Jackson,
stood for individual and State rights
equal and exact justice to all men and
especial favors to one From motives
of policy 1t has from time to time
catered to these same classes and cor
