SENSIBLE VIEWS.
Too True to Be Denied.

We predicted again an again before
election that even if the Republicans
won-and we never dreamt they would
win by a tidal wave-times would be
no better. We asserted again and
again, as those who heard us will re-
member, that it was not lack of con-
fidence in Cleveland or the Democratic
party, but lack Of buying capacicy of
producers of the nation, the farmer
and the laborer. That even if a Re-
publican victory could restore equani-
mity. and peace Of mind-confidence
to the Wall street operator, it would
in no wise raise the price OF agricul-
tural products, the only thing that
can restore the buying capacity OF the
farmer and start prosperity again.
Four months have passed since the
tidal wave and no signs Of improve
ment. Republicans, we mean the SEN
sible. hard-headed business men, now
begin to understand the folly of this
anfe-election confidence talk, and that
something else is needed to restore
business. A good many OF them are
getting despondent and sit on their
counters with dropping heads. Wen,
sorrow goes before repentance: we
know by Experience -WilmarTribune.

people of the West groaning and bur-
dened under taxation to pay debts of
states, counties and cities, incurred
when money was abundant and hopes
of the future were held out to lead
them on. | can see the people of our
ives tern states who are producers re-
duced to the condition of serfs to pay
interest on public and private debts
to the money sharks of Wall street,
New York, and of Thread-needle
street, London, England. And this
will be accomplished by withdrawing
the treasury notes from circulation
and destroying them until the banks
can control the entire volume of mon
ey and compel the people to use rer-
sonal checks in lieu of money-checks
passing through the clearing houses,
which the bankers will establish in ali
the larger cities. to enable them to
make a fictitious showing of prosper
ity and fool the people with the great
volume of business, which they will
cause to be published in the daily

none of this had the Populist party
not taken the warpath in 1892 and

Stand to your guns! Continue your

ten to no proposals Of surrender, in
whole or in part, and depend upon it
that much more will happen in the
next two years than has transpired in
the last two. All movements from
the old parties is a movement towards
Populism, if not directly then indi-
rectly. Sooner or later they must
come our way and the Omaha plat
form is wide enough, broad enough,

place for every reformer, whatever be
his ruling passion or paramount issue.

Mr. Kettleson was elected from
Freeborn county where he had been
county treasurer and in moderate
business. On leaving the office he be-
came connected with the st. Paul &
Minneapolis Trust Company,and later
became president Of the Columbia
National Bank of Minneapolis.
In the same manner Mr.. Burke goes
on to the end of the chapter. He
shows. without making any criticism,
that the state money was used in i'm
mense sums to aid the St. Paul and
Minneapolis banks to tide over the
panic OF 1893, stating that single
bank, the Merchants National, of St..
Paul, had over 100000. Mr.. Burke
figures that in 81 years the total bal
ances from treasurers aggregated $1S,-
9e6, 1864 on which the interest due
the state would have been $759, ,447 .O5.
There was actually collected, $337.-
1927, leaving the enormous balance
of 1922, 357.79, which he claims by the
most liberal construction, was justly
due the state.
He asserts that this showing on the
state treasurers is no more startling
than what the investigation will show
as to the city and county treasurers
comparatively given.

Early Marriages.

Rev. Madison c. Peters, of
Boston, who is fond of giving
young people advice, has taken
up the subject of early marriages.
He deplores the fact of there be-
ing 100000 bachelors in the
United States, and adds a glow
ing encomium upon the mar
rage state, in the following man
ner:
"There is only one excuse for
late marriage, and that is a
second marriage. All our best
men have kissed the shackles
which wife imposes, and if this
be slavery, who would be free:
To young men | would say, II
you want to get on, tie yourselves
to some one. Marriage brings
responsibilities, and responsible
tiles are the anchors of life; cut
them loose, and you soon &c
adrift. - Vrgiuian.

A Citizen Speaks.

Mr.. Editor:-Now that the
election is over and good honest
men, as council, will be at the
helm, and that the people of
Edenton having been assured
that NC one of the old Board
from Mayor down, wished to be
again taxed with the burdens of
office, it behooves the good peo-
pie of the city to give some ex-
preston as to their preferences
for mayor, constable, tax collec-
tor, and other officers. For mayor
| think of many. Messrs. Frank
Wood, NJ. H. Dixon, DR.. II. Dill
ard and others, either of whom
would make an excellent mayor.
For constable and other officers,
there are many about town that l
could mention who would fill the
places with great credit and salts
faction. Don't listen to rumors
and speak harshly Of any of the
old officers until we find out
whether or not they meant what
they said before election.

The Cotton Crop.

The late and wet spring, while
a worry to the farmers, will
doubtless have more effect in re-
ducing the area of the cotton
crop than all the conventions
and resolutions that have been
held and passed. The constant
rainfall has kept the farmers
from preparing their land, and
the result will be that a much
smaller area will perforce be
planted. This. added to the fact
that there is a general resolution
to plant less cotton, will doubt~
less tend to largely reduce the
cotton crop of 1895.
