NEWFOUNDLAN DISTRESS.

The extent oe the distress in
Newfoundland is only beginning
to be understood by the outside
world. Distress is not the word
to describe it-actual hunger and
impending death by starvation
for thousands confront a popula-
ton of 100000 souls, unless re
lief prompt and generous be
forthcoming.
In the capital city of st. Johns
there are to-day seven thousand
men, women and children de-
pendent for bare existence on
one meal day, and that the
scanty public ration of a bowl of
soup! The dreaded ice-rack from
the Arctic will speedily isolate
the outlying ports from all COM
munication with the rest of the
world. The country is bankrupt,
financially and commercially.
The home government offers no
help.
The people Of Newfoundland
have not been improvident. They
are among the most Industrious,
ill-paid, self-denying toilers in
the world; but they have never
had a chance to benefit by the
fruits of their own industry. The
boundless natural resources o1
tile island have been left unde
veloped by the parsimony OF
stupidity of the alien corpora
tions owning the land in which
they lie. Newfoundland has beer
treated as a step-child by the
| British government because its
citizens would not consent to joir
their political fortunes with those
Of Canada. They are now threat
ened with deprivation of self
government and relegation tt
the position Of a crown colony
but the political grievance is com
paratively a slight one. Tht
awful, immediate condition is ont
of wholesale distress, with ths
spectre of famine in the fore
! ground.

TYRRADELLT THOMAS CAT,

The subject of this sketch was
a venerable Individual in the
sphere of catdom. having readed
the advanced age of - years,
months and two days, when he
died, which occurred last Friday
night.
Tyrradell was a pious old gent,
but was very knowing-especial-
ly in regard to politics, having
sat around the fire long winter
evenings for years in his owners
headquarters and listened to po-
litical discussions till he had
grown wise in the cause, and a
Democrat to the core, as is his
now lonesome owner, Mr.. John
W. Edwards.
Tyrradell had been ailing for
some time, but his younger
brother Jimmie and friends
had thought him improving, but
the news of the Crews resolution
in honor of Fred Douglas, sus.
tanned as it was by the Rep-PoE
Legislature, was more than Tyr
radelPs keen political sagacity
could master, and he died Of pa
ralysis in the attempt. Jim
mie" mourns his dead brother as
political martyr and feels thai
but for the douglas resolution
he would be living to-day.

POSTMASTER-GENERAL WILL
SON.

We agree cordially with The
Richmond Dispatch that the Hon.
w. L. Wilson, of West Virginia.
will make a good Postmaster
General. We congratulate the
President upon his appointment.
He stood by the President
through thick and thin, and we
are glad that the President has
shown his gratitude therefor.
Mr.. Wilson has many admira-
BILE qualifications for the office of
Postmaster-Gen He is a
master of details, he is pains
taking, thorough and Industrious
all of which will count for him
in his Office, And, then, he has
the fullest confidence Of the Pres
ident. He will make a faithful
adviser in counsel.
All in all, we cannot see how
the President could have selected
a better equipped man, nor one
whom the people would have
preferred to BILLY" Wilson.

AS WE GO MARCHING ON.

AS the Charlotte Observer SAYS,
the South has evidently got a
hump on itself. If it hadn't news
papers up North wouldn't be
talking about US so much; Ohio
capitalists wouldn't be coming
down our way SO much to mine
gold and other minerals, and
New England manufacturers
woeildn't be so badly scared up
as hey are scared up in regard
to outhern competition in cot
ton spinning.
J ne following appears in the
Ne York Sun:
1T is pleasing to know that
the South Carolina farmers are
giving their minds to the en-
largement of the hog crop; that
the coal mine owners of Alabama
and Georgia have taken m ans
to enlarge the production of coal;
that the horticulturists of Texas
are adding to the varieties of
fruits which they raise; that the
Florida planters are turning their
attention to the cultivation of
lemons; that the North Car
olina cotton manufacturers are
building new mills in a doz-
en- counties; that there is more
interest throughout the South
than there ever was before in the
raising of grains and vegetables;
and that, all the while, the cot
ton planters are not willing to
reduce the amount of the acre
age devoted to the great South
ern staple. We have gathered
all the foregoing facts from re-
ports recently obtained from the
States Of the South, in which re-
ports confidence may be placed.
We need not here give details of
evidence in confirmation of the
statements.
For five or six years past the
cry of ''diversify the crops" has
resounded in the South from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. We
have always regarded the advice
as good as sound. We have
thought it could be put in prac-
uice, too, without diminishing the
cotton crop, for there is such an
abundance of fertile land and
available labor in the South that
under wise direction, the lesser
crops could be increased without
any decrease of the larger crop.
Besides, it should be considered
that the cotton planters can bet
ter bear the prevailing cheapness
Of the staple if they raise their
own supplies of grain, meats,
vegetables and fruits.
I'm addition to the diversified
ton of Southern crops, there is
a remarkable enlargement of the
iron and coal industries of the
South, ana its cotton manufacture
ing industry.
I'VE agree with those who talk
most hopefully of the develop
ment of the immeasurable re-
sources Of the Southern States.
The spirit of the new South is
aggressive and progressive ?"

FIGHT 1T OUT.

We hear a great deal, Of talk
these days about making the sill
yer question the great issue in
the next national campaign. Free
silver leaders like Mr.. Bland and
Mr.. Bryan declare that if the
Democratic party does not plant
itself squarely and unequivocal-
ly for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver a party will be
organized which will go before
the people with that doctrine as
the central plank of it's platform.
There are some Republicans who
occupy relatively the same posi-
ton.
We hope sincerely that this
issue will be tried. We want to
see the line drawn as clearly as
it possibly can be so that the re-
suit must be accepted as the YER
dict of the country.
If the free silverites believe
what they say about represent
ing the great majority of the
people they should prove the
courage of their convictions.
Let them come out boldly and
give the country a chance to say
whether or not it wants the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
independent of the other great
commercial nations.
Those who oppose this scheme
have no fear of the result. The
issue cannot be made too sharp
for them. They are ready to
meet it now OF in 1896.
| The fight should be made and
the result should be decisive.
We cannot afford to have the
slightest uncertainty about oul
financial system. It should be
based on a fixed policy and the
next national campaign should
be so shaped that when it is over
the silver question will be rec
.lognized as settled for a long time
to come.
/ Financial uncertainty is fata
to business enterprise and ma
tional progress. Let us have
done with it. Let our own peo
pie and all the world know jus
what sort of money we intend tt
have. No sane man can believe
| that either the Democratic o.
, Republican parties will favor tht
free and unlimited coinage o
silver when they go before th'
country in 1896. Let those VIII

Saying One Thing, Doing the Other.
"Two farmers in Wilkes

'Two farmers in Wilkes coun-
ty, few years ago." says a
Georgia paper, ''were discussing
the cotton question, VIXEN one
said: I have about concluded not
to plant a seed of cotton this year.
The other said: We'll, [ am glad to
hear that; l hear so many men
say the same thing that I am
going to plant every acre of my
land in cotton and get ten cents
a pound for it next fall. The
first man then said: We'll, I be-
lieve I will, too. This will be
the year to make big money on
cotton This is an actual occur
renee. The two men are we'll
known citizens of Wilkes county
This is an argument which
will always stand in the way Of
reducing cotton acreage by any
such means as combining to
plant less cotton. Were the
great majority of Southern plant
ers ready to stand together in
carrying out these sentiments. no
doubt the crop would be greatly
reduced, but the area in the cotton
States is too great and the num-
Der of cotton planters too large
to make cotton crop reducing as
sociations of any permanent ben
eft. The present agitation may
accomplish something this year,
but the best possible work is to
induce Southern farmers to learn
by experience that they can
make more money raising bread
: stuffs than in producing cotton.

Beware of the Democratic Corpse.

We have been requested to
publish the following poem
which has been going the rounds
of the Democratic press, The Ra-
leigh Nea0s and Observer introduces
it as follows:
1T has something Of the dash
Of Tennyson's Charge of the
Light Brigade" though some
what inferior to that poem in
euphony. 1t is like Whittier in
LONELINESS of illustration, and,
like the Quaker poet, the author
makes an imperishable fact live
in song. The author of this
poem is a Texan, which will ac-
count for the more forcible than
elegant expression with which it
concludes.
The Democratic party has been
officially declared a corpse at
least dozen times in a hundred
years. Those who have under
taken to lift the remains of the
party into the coffin have had
the experience of the man who
offered to help bury a dead mule,
and have been carried away on
litterS.
We advise all who anticipate
attending the funeral of the Dem
ocratic party, to take out heavy
accident policies before coming
near the corpse. Dead as it may
seem, it will attend the funeral
of the Republican party as it has
attended in the past the funerals
of the Federalist, Whig, Green
back and a dozen other parties.
But to the poem:
When the lion eats grass like an OK,
| And the fishing worm swallows the
| whale;
When the terrapins knit wooden socks
| And the hare is outrun by the snail.
| When the serpents walk upright like
men,
And doodlebugs travel like frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on the hen
And feathers are found on hogs.
| When Thomas cats swim in the air,
| And elephants roOst upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze
| When fishes creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer beer drink
And girls go to preaching on time;
When billy goats butt from the rear,
And treason is no longer crime;
, When humming birds bray like an ass
And limberger smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made out of glas
And the hearts of Carolinians of stone
When ideas grow on Populists' heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram
, Then the Democratic party will be dea6
+ And this country won't be worth
d-n.

MED. Several members of the crew
state positively that the story that she
came into port with four OF her SIX

that she was using five boilers. They
also deny that coming up the coast she
was only able to make six knots an
hour. They say she steamed easily
eight knots. One of her officers in.
formed a reporter of the Associated
Press, the only foundation for the story
about the ship being disabled was the
fact that the forward boilers were not
in the best of condition. Some of the
tubes were leaking. When a tube
leaked they had to be taken out. He
said that the Ward boilers would have
to be retubed. 1t was not matter Of
serious consequence, and certainly not
one on which to base the story that the
ship was disabled. The Monterey could
have proceeded to San Francisco with
out stopping here. He added that the
navy department is fully informed as
to the facts.
