The American Mosquito.

Persons who have visited Europe, Asia
and Africa say that of all mosquitoes the
American specimen is the most energetic,
the simplest in its manners and the most
deceptive in its appearance. Its song is
not more soothing to the sleeper nor its
bill more formidable in its looks, but 1t
has penetrating power that puts to shame
the ram of the Camperdown. The Ameri-
can mosquito is vastly superior in the
construction of it's digestive organs and
In its ability to repeat it's vicious attacks
1t can work through a smaller mesh and
surpasscs all rivals in accuracy of aim and
skill in the selection of strategic positions,

Some Pls iu Talk.

ATLANTA, Ca, July "A Washing
ton special says: It deVelopes that the
financial statement which Mr.. CleVe.
land sent out by the press associations
last Monday night was caused by a
visit of some New York fnanclers
over here. They came tn persuade
him to make another issue OF bonds.
They agreed to place S5O.OOO,O0O IN
New York and New England. Bat
Mr.. Cleveland remembered the protest
that went up froDl the country when
he made his first issue. He had 10
idea of facing another such protest and
be told these New Y orkers plainly that
he would make no bond issue, even If
they agreed to place them at high
premium. To emphasize his determl.
nation to make DO further bond issue,
to make this determination public and
to attempt to stir up some little patri-
otism among our New York bankers,
he wrote that statement. II his blunt
way he did it to let them know that
they could not Deguile hlminto another
bond issue. He has determined ttat
the gold reserve shall stick to the very
stone flooring Of the treasury vaults
with not enough gold dollars to speckle
the stones before he shall make anoth-
er bond Issue. If there is ever TO be
another issue OF bonds during his ad-
ministration be says congress shall
authorize it. He will assume the au-
tbority no more without an express act
of congress. The plain statement Mr..
Cleveland made to the New Workers,
who were the representatives OF big
syndicate formed to force another is
sue of bonds snd gobble them up, is
said to have dissolved the syndicate.
If that is true this money may be put
out in other directions and matters IL
nancially may be eased up thereby.

An Accid ant at Oakley

OAKLEY DEPOT, BERKELEY COUN-
TY, July 4.-Recently as the down
train from Columbia was rapid
ly approaching this place two negroes,
Ned Wehman and an unknown colored
man, were run over and killed at what
is known as the "Brough.on Swamp
TreStle," about half mile above the
depot. Wehman, it appears, had clear
Ell the trestle, and upon looking back
saw that the unknown man was In
danger of being injured. He sprang to
his assistance, and it was in the at
tempt to save the mans life that both
were killed. AS soon as the men were
discovered upon the track every effort
on the part of the engineer and those
in charge of the train was made to
avert the accident, but without avail.
They we're so close upon the men that
it was impossible to stop in time. A
jury was empanelled and an inquest
held by Trial Justice R. w. Hains,
acting as corouer, and verdict Was
rendered in accordance with the above
facts,uo blame attaching to the railroad
company. The wonder is that like acci-
dents have not happened before and

now, but that 1T could hardly be done
until the coming elections were over.
He went on to say that "all sections
whose predominant interests are the
production of wealth have interests
that are diametrically opposed to a
small class of monopolists and specu-
lators in the North and East. They
will never get position that is Just to
them-I do not mean class legislation
until they can have influence in the
national affairs OF our government and
that can never come through an ad-
ministration that. is nominated by the
Republican or Democratic party as
now constituted, because the class in
terests that now dominates has control
of the machinery of both of these Or
CARNATIONS. This condition is soon
going to force new alignment Of par
ties, and seems to me all patriotic peo.
pie ought to do all they can to see it
come abont as soon as possible. This
result will have to come about by the
Solid West and South and all of those
whose interests are common with them
uniting in nominating and electing the
al ministratlVe offices of the COVERT
meat. What l would ike to see come
about is for national convention to

pies party from the West and those
from the North who want to join, nom
mating a Presidential candidate and
electing him. The Peoples party out
West Is nothing more than a party of
converted Democrats, but who on &C.
count OF their prejudice to that name
will not admit 1t, but they are as good
Democrats as the Jeffersolian Demo
Gratis of the South"
"Ihe real Democrats of the South
and the Populists of the West have the
same principles while the socalled
Democrats of the Western States are
nothing more than gold bug Democrats
and have never yet done anything to
elect a Democratic President. These
Western Populists or Jeffersonian
Democrats will not 60 into Demo

if a convention of the American party
or the Je@ersonian Democracy were
called they would combine with the
Democrats of the South to nominate e

for the campaign of 1896, but if it is
not done by that time, it is simply q
