BURGL4RYATW WEST CONCORD,

Shortly before 2 O'Clock on Mon
day morning light was discovered
in O. B. Cuttings drug store, West
Concord, and trouble was at once
suspected. On the alarm being given
the light went out-also the indi-
vidual who was carrying the light.
Investigation revealed the fact that
a robbery had been committed, but
By whom it is not known. Eu-
trance had been effected through
cellar window. The money drawer
was robbed of between S12 and SIS
in small change, the drawer itself be-
ing found in the cellar. Some goods
were also taken, but not, it is
thought, to any great amount.
A typewriter was found partially
packed, the burglars evidently in
tending to carry it away had they
not been interrupted. The train
passing West Concord the night be-
fore at about eleven O'Clock stopped
at the station, and it is supposed the
parties who committed the burglary
came on that train-One of them
operating in the store and the other
standing guard outside.
Herbert Douglas and Heny Ranr-
dali were the first to see the light in
the store, and thinking it was Mr..
Cutting paid no attention to it for
while. They soon suspected, however,
that all was not right and in giving
the alarm frightened the burglars
who succeeded in making their es-
cape.

has filed a petition in insolvency and
the first meeting of the creditors will

There is a town in Texas so poor that it's
own inhabitants stay there only because
they are as poor as 1t is, says the Detroit
Free Press. Whatever else they are they
they will hang man as quick for horse
stealing as will the inhabitants of the
most fourishing and richest city in the
state.
Some time ago a stranger in the town
was arrested on suspicion and held until
the recent disappearance of two horses
could be investigated. Before the investi-
cation was concluded the citizens held n
meeting and decided TO have a public trial
of their prisoner. He was brought out on
the square, and before they had found a
tree suitable for their purpose d man in the
crowd recognized the man.

Not Quite Lsgicai.

II is amusing 10 read in the free silver
coinage journals the statement that the
democrats were defeated In the north
and west en- Tuesday because the demo-
cratic party refused to make the coinage
of silver free at the rattle OF 15 to !. The
editors OF those papers cannot have read
the returns very closely, or. having read
them, they failed to draw a correct con-
clusioA frsn them. In Ohio. fer instance.
the democrats accepted a platform cali
ing fer the free coinage Of silver at the
ratis Of Is to l, ana what was
the result? Why. the largest re.
publican majority in the history
of the state. And how was it in Missouri.
where the democrats adopted platform
that was very nearly satisfactory to the
free silver coinage people? Were not the
democrats overwhelmed and was not
Silver Dollar Bland. the great champion
of the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1G to ], defeated? And Bland has been
in congress these many years. Nothing
could save him from the wrath of the peo-
pie. who determined 10 put a stop to the
free silver nonsense.
In other states there is unmistakable
evidence that the people are against the
free coinage of silver at any ratio that
would endanger the soundness of the cur
rency. The sentiment of the country is
for sound money. There is no demand for
experiments with silver. If there were
the populists would have made much
better showing in Tuesdays elections.
The demand is that the silver dollar shall
be kept on parity with the gold dollar,
and it is evident to the common sense of
the people that that could not be done
if the minis should be opened to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l.
without an international agreement to
that effect.
The conclusions of the silver papers,
therefore. that the democrats were de-
feated Tuesday because they did not open
the minis to the free coinage of silver
at IS to IS not logical. And it is Ger
tainly safe to predict that it will be a
very long time before this country will
undertake the free coinage of silver
alone at the ratio of 16 to l, or any other
ratio.

Man. Mars and the Moon.

Prof. f. Stone Virgins, the Canadian
weather prophet, is in New York to do a
little lecturing by way of preparing him
self against a rainy day. He ought to be
able to secure pretty good audiences there
just about now. New York is a democratic
city, and the democrats at this writing
are in a frame of mind to hear discus
sions of astronomy, astrology and ancient
history with better grace than TO hear of
some events of late occurrence. And Wig
gins is loaded to the muzzle with cranky
theories about Mars, and the origin of
man, and the "deluge of Noah"-though
when Noah was deluged does not appear in
the sacred writings-all of which he is
anxious to fire off at American audiences.
Virgins pet theory. by the way, is that
Mars is inhabited by human beings, who
are centuries in advance of the people of
the earth, and from whom we are descend
ed. The Martians have passed through
the patent medicine, trolley car and
woman suffrage period, he thinks, and
have reached pretty near to perfection in
politics and mechanics. They do every
thing with or by electricity, which force
they literally pluck from the sunbeams
and store in the atmosphere. The secrets
of life and death have been unlocked, and
the Martians go on living for 900 years. or
until they get tired of it, This theory with
its web and wool of details. as will be seen
opens the way for the widest play of
imagination which faculty Virgins pos
sesses In highly developed degree.
Mr. and Mrs. Adam. so Virgins thinks
arrived at the Garden of Eden through the
kindly Offices of comet, which whisked
them Off of Mars with its tail. transported
them safely through the intervening space
and deposited them in the famous apple
and fig orchard. The comet then reversed
its lever. sped back into the heavens and
changed itself into the pale. inconstant
moon. The word tableau that Virgins
at the Garden after their long open car
ride is said to be very thrilling.
The canals of Mars, according to this
theorist. are artificial. and were construct
ed for the purpose of securing the uniform
temperature of the globe. They form the
! world pretty much as iron pipes are run
through a building to convey warmth
through the agency of hot water The
| Martians are giants in size; Adam and Eve
were giants; their offspring for several
generations were giants; several gigantic
beasts and birds may have come from
| Mars in the same car with Adam and his
wife-that is the basis of Virgins expla-
nation of the giants that are mentioned in
the scriptures, and the origin of the ooIos-
sal skeletons that are found in South Car,
olina phosphate fields and elsewhere.
The people of Mars, he says, are past
masters in electric application and in on.
tics, and they are now signaling to us and
watching patiently for an answer Mr.
Virgins is of the opinion that they have
apparatus with which they can see things
that are going on down here II that /.
true, It is to be hoped that they understand
distinctly that the recent slump was MOI
the fault of the Democratic party, and thai
the republicans merely got together tn,

Neil,s Estinate.

Is 1t not about time that the commercial
world ceased to place any reliance upon
Henry Neirs estimate of the cotton crop?
He is a cotton statistician at New Orleans
who, as far as we know, has no special
sources of information relative to the
crop. Once or twice. in past years, he has
come pretty close TO the size of the crop
in his estimates, and thereby gained rep
utation for having information relative to
cotton production not possessed by others
who are interested in cotton. But, as
matter of fact, are not his estimates
guesses, based upon the movement of cot
ton, rather than estimates based upon in
formation gathered from thousands Of To-
callties? Has he not been wrong oftener
than right?
In his estimate sent out a day or two ago
he estimates that the cotton crop of this
state is 10000 larger this year than it was
last. Is he not clearly wrong in respect
to Georgia? From almost every part of
this state comes the information that the
crop is not as large this year as it was
last, certainly not any larger II he is
far out of the way in respect to Georgia is
it not fair to assume he is wrong in respect
to other states?
This last estimate Of Mr.. Ners had the
effect OF weakening the cotton market and
therefore injuring the producers. The esti-
mate of almost any recognized authority
is certain 10 AFFECT the cotton market
Mr. Neirs last estimate has taken many
thousands OF dollars out of the pockets Of
the cotton planters, and If it should turn
out that his estimate "a a million bales or
more too large. what valid excuse would
he have for the injury he did them?
We are sure that Mr., Neil would please a
great many moro people by retiring from
the estimating business than he does by
scattering abroad his cotton crop figures.

Democratic party into permanent retire.
ment, And yet If he had carried his
mind back to 1880 he would have seen that
in that year the democrats elected 233
congressman to SO for the republicans
a landslide quite as heavy as was that of
Tuesday. Still, there was no permanent
retirement in that, as it has been proved.
The ex-president, however, hardly likes
to reflect upon 1890 and 1892.
