Growth of PopuIist Papers,

We have much encouragement in the
number of Popnlist papers being started
in different sections of the country. A
count of the exchanges asked for from us
during the last three weeks brought over
twenty three new papers in fourteen diff
ferent States. We now have at least
1900 Populist weeklies and seven dailies.
This IS power that can't be resisted

part of our young men. There is
unquestionably cause for this, higher
and more far-reaching than merely the
tastes OF individuals; and this cause,
as think this report will show, can
not be connected in any degree with
the legislation or the administration of
the laws of this State. Had the same
earnest endeavor been made i'll national
legislation to justly distribute AS we'll
as lessen the burdens of government,
no interest Of our common country
would be suffering to-day, and agri-
culture, instead of being a vocation to
be avoided, would go hand in hand
with all other pursuits in attracting
the best energies and contribu ting to
the happiness and prosperity of the
people. 1t is to be hoped that states

save the people their homes, and
encourage them in loving and improv-
ing them for

Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay"
Your excellency is to be congrat-
ulated that during the first year of your
administration the last cause of con-
tention over the liabilities of certain
subjects of taxation has ceased to
exist, and upon agreement between
the State and the parties heretofore
involved in the content ton, all proper
ties in the State will hereafter bear
their just portion of tuXation. This
not only ends most unpleasant con-
troversies, but adds materially to the
revenues Of the State and cities, towns
and counties. AS all have shared
alike the benefits of good government,
and all must now share alike its
burdens, it is to be hoped that all the
people will be united in future in
upbuilding every section and develop
ing every interest of our good old
State-a State abundantly blessed with
resources and possibilities which, if
properly wrought, will constitute the
sum total of a peoples contentment
and prosperity.

THE USE OF RICHES.
Some Thoughts ON the Life and Char
acter of Gerge w. Childs---A Career
COntrasted With That of Jay Gould.
[GOldsbOro Headlight. |

Honored as was Mr.. George w.
Childs in life, his memory will be
vastly more esteemed now that the
extent of his fortune has been revealed
by the filing of his will by probate.
That document does not allude to the
testator's wealth, and the executors
also maintained a discreet silence,
merely stating that the real property
was valued at over 100000 and the
personality at over 100000. But
from trustworthy sources comes the
information that the entire estate is
worth little more than 100000.
A round million is no doubt an
amount which ought to place the pos
SCISSOR thereof beyond all dreams of
avarice, but in Mr.. Childs' case such
a low valuation occasions some degree
of disappointment. The Philadelphia
LeAgey is said to have yielded net re-
turns ofs4oo,ooo annually for years,
and Mr.. Childs held a third interest
in the paper. His other investments
were also believed to be considerable
That he should only have accumulated
the sum stated is, therefore, astonish-
ing. 1t shows what difference gen.
orally is exists between mans sup
posed fortune and wha. he really does
possess.
Allowances must be made, how
ever, for Mr.. Childs' benefactions and
contributions to the arts and sciences
which aggregated large sums. He
was the initial contributor to the homo
for printers in Denver; erected and
endowed a technical school in Phila
delphia donated several monuments
and otherwise showed his generosity
The aggregate outlay for these variou:
purposes, no doubt, consumed an
amount much greater than his entire
estate. Mr.. Childs preferred to dt
what he could TO advance human
progress and mitigate human miser,
during his life time, and enjoy tn
sweets Of his nunihcence as long a
he was able to appreciate them. Their
was nothing sordid or selfish in be
queathing his entire estate to his widow
absolutely.
What a contrast between him ant
Gould One ever bent on shedding
sunshine about him and devoting
large share of his plenty to ennoblin,
objects the other living in retire
ment, like spider in dark corne
OF its net, ready to pounce upon ii
prey. The memory of one will lon
live in the hearts of those with whoI
he came in contact and will be pc
pe,uated in his works; the others
rarely called up, save with imprec;
tions. Both men achieved wealth an
I: a reputation, but by vastly dlfferel
t means.

1t is admitted at last that the clos
ing Of the Indian mints to the free
coinage of silver was a tremendous
financial blunder, and that it has
already been the cause Of disaster and
bankruptcy. Here at home, with fifty
millions of uncoined silver seignorage
alone, the Secretary Of the Treasury is
issuing gold bonds for fifty million
dollars, the interest on which must be
pard in the sweat of the faces of the
common people. II is their silver that
lies uncoined, and useless while it
remains uncolned, in the vaults Of the
Treasury, for it was with taxes wrung
from them that it was bought. But
the ..hnanciers' and the bankers
must have gold or gold bonds, and
the Secretary submits to the demands
OF Wall Street. Truly have our people

AN UNSOUND PROPOSITION.

The ground upon which Senator
Vance bases his opposition to the con-
firmation of Collector Simmons
amounts to proposition that no out
slider has right, after Senator has
made selection for an Office, to enter
an objection. He makes no charge
of dishonesty, incapacity or unfitness
against Mr.. Simmons the charge is
that he went to Washington and inter-
fered to prevent the appointment of
Messrs. Gudger and Hale to Office.
Let US suppose he did. II he made
his objections openly and boldly, if
he employed no dishonest or unworthy
means, he simply exercised right
that belongs to the humblest citizen.
To deny this is to contend for an
autocracy such as has never been
heard of in this country. We protest
against the proposition that the men
who carry elections are to be disfran
chised after they are won. The
laborer in the Democratic cause has
the right, after a victory has been
achieved, 10 an expression of his
opinion about who should and likewise
as to who should not share the fruits
of it. Is he to keep his mouth shut
until after the Senators have made
their selections, lest he subject himself
TO the charge of usurping the senatorial
prerogative ? and after they have made
their selections open his mouth only
to hurrah? A man had " better be a
dog and bay the moon than such" an
underling. We hope the Democratic
party has not come to this yet. If it
has, it will not be long before it
"walks out of itself, leaving nothing
behind except smell of birthstone
and' senatorial prerogative. Let US
suppose case, which will show us
where this policy would lead to /:
Smith is a candidate for collector,
and the Senators have agreed on him.
Jones knows of an over -whelming
reason why Smith should not be
appointed-he betrayed the party in
the last election, and Jones found it
out; he is dishonest and Jones knows
it; he intends to sell the places under
him for money when he gets in, and
Jones has been apprised of the fact ;
but Jones wants to be postmaster Of
his town, and the place has been
promised him, but he knows that if he
tells on Smith and beats him the
Senators will defeat his own confr.
mation-therefore, he remains dumb
and the party and the public service
are disgraced by the appointment o.
Smith.
But, whether or not harm come tc
either by the silence which we are
given to understand must be observed
after Senator has selected man fol
an office, we protest against dragoon-
ing the men, or any Of them, who
carry the elections. The right Of
petition and the right of protest are al
that is left to the private citizen aftel
he has cast his ballot, and unless al
the manhood has gone out OF him he
will not tamely submit to any abridge'
ment OF these.-Charlotte O6server

The contention of the party that one

PERIr0US ADVENTURES OF LIT
TILE EMMETT WATERS.
A San Bornardino Hopeful Who Started
on n Fifty-Mile Journey
and Got Lost.

SAN BERNARDINo, Dec, 29.-Emmett Waters
a 12-year-old son of Byron Waters, has given
his friends a scare that they will not soon for
get and the fact that he is now at home alive
and we'll is due more to good luck and the in
stinct of his pony than anything else. The
boy determined to visit an uncle, James
Brown, who lives near Victor, on the desert
across a mountain range, and so miles away.
Witho ut saying anything to his parents he
started Thursday morning, going through
Cajon pass and out on the desert He travelled
all day without food for himself or pony. ana
night found him alone among the sand dunes
on the farther side of the range. He had
never been over the tail before and in the
darkness he lost his wav. There are tracks
leading off in score of directions, and to add
TO the complications snow storm overlook
the boy and he turned his pony toward the
mountains again.
BY good fortune the animal found the trail
leading back into the pass, and late in the
night he came to lab ,rers' camp.
where he was cared for. All this time
his parents were telegrap phing in every
direction, but could find no trace OF
the boy. Yesterday morning word came from
the Cajon that he was there, and late in the
day he was returned TO his home. 1t is
miracle at he found the road and that he did
not perish on the desert in the storm.
