Smith, that recalls the story of a deserving
Irish soldier in the lac war. He was anxious
to get home and to get there he was oblge /
to walk a gOoc many miles through q country
infested with federal and confederate sol
diers.
He often met detachments Of cavalry and
infantry, and when he found himself in the
pres ence of the confederates he would toss his

One night, while passing along a road he
was stopped by a voice crying. Who goes

before him, but the shadows were so deep
that he couldn't dis ,ern the color of their uni
forms, and for fear OF getting into trouble he
made no answer. .-.--.
Once more the query came and the Irish
man kept silence, not being able to identify
the Co.or of the uniforms. Again the cnal.

voas, and he strained his eyes into the sha-
dowS but it was no use, he couldn ma Ike

Aldrich and the Dispensary Act.

From Charleston News and Courier DEM
In his decision in the case OF the city couu-
Gil OF Aiken. Judge James Aldrich has fol
lowed the law as declared by the supreme
court OF the sta e, and holds that the dlSpen-
sary act OF 1898 Is unconstitutional and void
The supreme court having declared certain
broad principles OF law, principles 10y which
the eonst ituuonality OF the act OF 1898 must be
ah abludicated, uJudge Aldrich applies these
principles 10 the issues involved in the case
before him and declares the act
OF 1898 20 be unconstitutional. Judge
Aldrich does not enter into a
discussion OF the constitutional power and
rights Of the state. He does not express his
own Views upon the question OF the constitu
tionality OF the dlspensary legislation, he
frankly admits that he has never formed an
opinion, much less reached a mature convtC
tion, upon the question Of the constitution
atty OF the act OF lS92''-he simply applies the
law as II has been declared by the supreme
court OF the state and he dnds no escape from
the conclusion that the act OF 1898 being
practically the same" as the act OF 1892 the
law as declared by the supreme court applies
equally TO both acts and that the state cannot
undertake TO do under the act OF 1893 what il
was unlawful for the state TO do under the act
OF 1892

The Great Gold Find.

II bio TtpoIOS VI Iu6 great GOlQ ulSCOV-
cries in New Mexico prove to becorrect
the silverites may soon cease to talk about
free silver coinage at the ratio of l6 to l
Since the remarkable decline in the mar
ket price of silver there has been a great
falling off in silver production. Many
mines have been closed, and attention has
been directed to gold mining
The reports of gold discoveries in New
Mexico are of the most exciting nature
The gold is IN gold bearing rock on the
mountains skirting the Rio Grande river
for over forty miles. The exact locality
is about thirty miles from Santa Fe west
and thirty-fve miles from Albuqueroue
south.
Prof Dugin, who had charge of the
worlds fair mineral exhibit, has made an
examination of the new mines, and re-
ports that there are hundreds of millions
Of gold ore in sight In fact, he is credi-
ted with saying that he saw enough gold
ore TO pay the national debt ten times
over.
The ore, it is said, runs from $50 to
$500 ton, and will average $3.50 a ton.
1t is estimated that there are already
10000 men in the new gold district and
other thousands are on their way there.
Railroads are being built to the new
mines, stage lines are already running,
newspapers nave been established and
six postoffices have been created.
No doubt the stories of the new gold
find are exaggerated, but they must
have pretty solid basis of truth. The
delegate in congress from New Mexico
receives reports from the district almost
daily and they, in large measure. con.
firm the reports. He says he has no
doubt that the find will be one of the
wonders of the age.
Assuming that there is a tenth as much
gold in the new fields as Prof. Durin
thinks there is Secretary Carlisle has no
reason to be in the least alarmed about
the withdrawal of gold from the treasury
for shipment to Europe. He could spare
a good deal more without causing uneasi-
ness in financial circles. Even the silver
craze under the influence of such a wealth
of gold would quickly cease to annoy the
country. because with such an abundance
of gold and the decline in the production
OF silver the market price of silver would
not be long in getting close TO the rs to !
ratio.
In the last election the people over in
Speaker Crisp's district buried out of
sight one Fred Wimberly, a populist
who imagined that he was running for
congress against the speaker. According
to advices from Vienna, Wimberly
has lately scratched his way out, and
is now inviting the people TO bury him
again, And they are going to do it,
Congressman Bland Of Missouri has been
renominated for congress for the
eleventh time 1t appears TO be about as
hard for the balance Of the country TO
convince Mr.. BANDS constituents that
his schemes won't do as it is for Mr..
Bland 10 convince the balance of the
country that they will.

At the meeting of the American Bime-
tallic League at Washington the other
day Senator Stewart made a speech, in
which he pointed to the prosperity of sill
yer standard countries, and said that
with free coinage here the prosperity Of
this country would surpass that of others.
Where are those prosperous silver stand
ard countries? India cannot be one of
them, for free coinage nearly ruined the
finances Of that country. Mexico cannot
be one Of them, for Mexican money is at
a discount everywhere, even within Mex
lean borders. Peru cannot be one of
them, for Peru has lately through Official
act, refused TO accept her own silver
money at its face value. The Argentine.
Republic, with double standard, cannot
be one Of them, for American dollars are
worth more at Buenos Ayres than Ar
gentne pesos, when the difference should
be the other way. When countries
are prosperous their money is not
at a discount. And taking that fact
as test the United States and Canada
are the most prosperous, if not the only
prosperous countries on this continent.

A specia! session of the state alliance
executive committee will be held in At
lanta today to decide the fate of the
alliance newspaper organ. A pretty
lively fight-fgurative fight, of course
may be expected. The chairman of the
new executive committee is a democrat
and his conferees are populists. But the
populists are divided among themselves.
The editor of the organ, who is now the
president of the alliance, and is radical
populist, desires, as a matter of course,
that the alliance shall continue its official
patronage to the paper. On the other
hand, ex-President Ellington is at the
head of a faction that hopes to down the
Irwin-Peek cabal and '"bust" the
alliance organ. Each of these factions is
represented on the executive committee
