The st. Louis Conference.

The Monetary Conference or Metallic
to-day has attracted some attention from
the public. The immense pressure of the
hard times Is such that the people are
ready to resort to any measure which
promises TO lift that burthen from their
shoulders. The Washington Post has
thought it worth while to attach to that
conference a good deal OF Importance.
We fear, however, that nothing is to
be expected from that body calculated
to lift the clouds which overhang, not
only the financial and commercial world,
but all men of all classes and all nations
Nevertheless, in view of the changes to
take place In the Senate on the 4th Of
March next. the Post presents the fol-
lowing facts. Seventeen new senators will
come into the Senate at that date. We
quote:
"Messrs. Allen. Jarvis. McLaurin, Mar
tin, Perkins, Roach. Walsh, and White
can be placed in the silver column. Mr.
Blanchard. while member Of the House.

and Measures, where ii subsequently
siumbered. SO that his sympathies would
seem TO be In favor of silver. Those
known to be opposed TO free coinage are
Messrs. Mitchell OF Wisconsin, Murphy,
Patton, Smith, and Lodge, although the
latter Is inclined to favor O freer use
OF silver. Messrs. Caffery. Camden, and
Lindsay may be classed as doubtful, but
giving them 20 the opposition and the free
silver men would still have a majority
OF I'VE, which Will be augmented by at
least two OF the three to be elected TO FIJI
vacancies existing In Washington, Mon
tana. and Wyoming"
This Is ell that the st. Louis Confer
ence or League will have to base new
hopes upon. We quote the Post again:
The silver men. Il seems, have not
lost courage by the results OF the recent
election Even the defeat of their able
and aggressive leader. Mr. Bland, IL not
REGARDED as In any sense q defeat of the
principles on which ne mado so long

What the New Loan Means.

We said in our last issue that the peo-
pie Of this country might well congratu-
late themselves on the success Of the
new loan. and added some other remarks
upon that loan. The New York Journal
of Commerce says:
at is evidence Of a loyalty TO the ma
ton irrespective OF loyalty to party or
administration. 1t means that, in spite
of the monetary heresies that have done
so much to weaken confidence In the
Treasury demand obligations, men Of
judgment and means retain undiminished
confidence in the financial strength and
stability Of the Federal Government. 1t
signifies that, however pessmistic for
eign investors may feel towards Ameri-
can credit, our own people. far better
qualified to judge accurately and fairly.
have suffered no eclipse Of their conf
dence in our ability TO maintain the
soundness and stability Of our monetary
system.

NOVEMBER II. 1884,.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

In your paper Of the 10th you say there
| can never be but two parties. VIII you
| tell us at what period In the early life OF
| the Democratic party II ceased to be n
| third party? We are old enough to re-
member how long IL took the Republican
party to become one OF two parties. IL
was the third party till the Wing party
died. We think now that there are only
| two parties-the Demo-Republlcan party
| and the Peoples party.
Let me suggest that you get yourself
| In readiness to either Join the People ;
party in 1895 or meet them In an active
| fight, for we propose to give the so-called
Democratic party the liveliest time they
| ever had in a state contest. We will have
| but three planks in our platform-first. a
| nom partisan honest election-law; second.
| q curtalment in the State and county ex-
penses; third. election of United States
| senator's by the people. The President
| should be elected in this manner also.
VIII you kindly give us some idea of the
| expense of running Virginia's State and
| county governments, as compared with
North Carolina? Very truly yours.
w H. TINSLEY.
The Jeffersonian Republicans became
Democrats gradually. In the letter which
we published the other day from Hon.
II. T. w. Duke. he said he preferred even
| now to use the word Republicans" rather
than the word Democrats" when speak,
| ing of Democrats.
We believe the title jackson men," or
Administration men. was applied to the
Jeffersonian Republicans before they be-
came Democrats in name.
Anyhow there were but two great par
ties" in fact at any given time. The
Wings succeeded the Federaiists and the
Democrats succeeded the Republicans
We are not at all uneasy as to whittier
We shall have to go IN 1885; but we warn
our correspondent that his Populist party
Is already dead. II 1t can be resuscitated
upon the three-plank platform which our
correspondent lays down. 1t will be a
party standing upon nothing and advo-
eating what nobody opposes.
We have ofttimes told our readers that
virginia's State expenses exceed those of
North Carolina.

Some tremor In business circles was
created by the recent official opinion OF
the Solicitor of the Treasury that bonds
issued by a county In denominations as
small as s., $40, and 500. and circulating
as money, are not subject to the 10 per
cent. tax which applies to the notes Of
State banks and OF TOWNS, cities, and mu-
nicipal corporations. York Evening
Post.
There need be no tremor In business
circles or elsewhere because Of this opin-
lon. for II the counties In any State shall
begin to food the land with their promis-
sorry notes and call them bonds, Con-
gress will at once put down its foot"
upon the new issues. The 10 per cent
tax would soon be made to apply TO the
notes mentioned by the Solicitor OF the
Treasury. We suppose that county
bonds were overlooked when the law
levying the 10 Der cent. tan was drafted.

The New Amendment.

In reference to the amendment to thu
State Constitution ratified by the people
OF Virginia on the 9Th instant, we may
say what the New York Journal OF Com
merce said some time ago touching the
Federal Constltution-namely. that thai
document is not a body of statutes
but declaration Of principles upon which
statutes may be constructed" So the
new amendment to the Virginia Constitu
ton is not a statute, but the declaration
of a principle upon which statute may
be constructed.

Mr.. Cleveland has every reason to pray
for delivery from those OF his friends
who insist that he will urge continuance

He may urge continuance Of the tariff
agitation as much as he pieases. but
there will be none such AT the coming
session Of Congress. Members viii have
no heart for 1t. The President might

clubs to parade on Christmas-Day with

Another View.
The Republic takes the following

The Republic takes the following view
of civil-service reform:
1--WE contend that no man Is an Ameri-
can who does not see that there Is to
the post-office clerk just as much politi-
cal principle in his honors as there Is
TO the President OF the United States In
his election. 1t may take educated states
manship to fully comprehend the truth
In all It's bearings. but the American peo-
ple feel IL and when the time comes
that they don't they would as well change
their form of government"

Ira D. Brougher planted cotton
wood tree about 40 feet east of the
court house. in the park, before any
other trees were started, and today
the little stripping of many years ago
has developed into a broad limbed
leafy bower that furnishes cooling
shade for many a weary traveller. 4
few feet to the northeast of Ira's tree,
Willis Winstead planted tree at the
same times it was broken down by stock
in its early struggles for a foothold,
and received many other setbacks; but
it is also fine, large tree today.
though not as imposing as Ira's leafy

packing house. which We are told were

SAND" MEANS GRIT.

1 observed locomotive in railroad yard one
day,
1t was waiting in the round-house, where the
locomotives stay.
1t was painting for the journey, it was coald and
fully Manned
And it had a box the fireman was filling full
sand.
1t appears that locomotives cannot always get a
grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause the wheels,
are apt to slip;
And when they reach slippery spot, their tao
tics they command,
And to get grip upon the rail, they sprinkle it
with sand.
It's about this way with travel along LIES slip
perry track,
II your load is rather heavy and you're always
slipping back;
So, if a common locomotive you completely un-
derstand,
Youth provide yourself in starting with good
supply of sand.
If your track is steep and billy and you have a
heavy grade,
And if those. who've gone before you have the
rails quite slippery made,
If you ever reach the summit of the upper table
land,
You'll find you'll have to do it with liberal use
of sand.
If you strike some frigid weather and discover to
your cost
That you're liable to slip heavy coat of fro st
Then some prompt, decided action will be called
into demand,
Aud you'll slip way to the bottom if you haven't
any sand
You can get any station that is life's sched-

And you'll reach place called Flushtown at 8
