basement for the free use of chill
dren and a playground on the roof
having an area of 10000 square
feet. With land as dear as It is in
New York, Fairgrounds are out
OF the question, hence some genius
conceived the idea of "playing
roof" and no doubt it will prove a
success.
New Orleans States: Senator
Don Cameron is one OF the most
rampant siiverites in the country.
He has had printed and distributed
in Pennsylvania at his own ex.
pense 100000 copies of "Coin's
Financial School" He is conf
dent that the State Of Pennsylvan-
ia will be swung into the silver
column by an overwhelming ma
jority. Senator Cameron is the
only prominent eastern Republic
can who is advocating the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, and
he is as equally as extreme in his
views as Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, or "Bloody Bridlesn
Waite, OF Colorado.
Peoples Advocate: Texas has
over 1000 convicts in her peniten-
tiaries; at least there are nomin-
ally that many, but in fact more
than half of them ard kept outside
working on farms, railroads, etc.;
5000 OF these convicts ought to be
worked on the public roads. II
this system was adopted in Texas,
as It is in some States, we would
have the finest system Of public
roads in the world. Not only this
but we would remove convict labor
and provide work for 5000 honest
laborers who are now roaming
around hunting work and not able
to find it. But our legislature
seems inadequate to the task of
providing a law that would so
greatly bless.
Fort Worth Gazette: The chair
man Of the Democratic state
executive committee, Hon. j. G.
Dudley, of Paris, has been alarmed
by the calls for bimetalllc and
gold standard conventions OF
Democrats, issued by members of
the legislature and has addressed
a note to his fellow members of the
state committee suggesting a meet
ing OF the committee to take some
action in reference to the matter.
The object that Mr.. Dudley seems
to have in view is to officially pro-
hibit the discussion of the financial
question by Democrats at this time
and outside of conventions organiz-
ed under the authority of his COM
mittee.
Two Republics: At present. with
times better In Mexico than they
are in the United States, it can be
easily understood that MexicanS
have nothing to gain by migration
to the United States, bus even
when these conditions were re-
versed-when times we're better
there than here-the ventures of
Mexicans in the United States were
generally unfortunate, and theMex-
lean government has assisted many
a Mexican family TO return TO its
native land. Strange as it may
seem Mexicans have never pros
pered in the United States, not even
when residing in prosperous COM
munities, where all was thrift and
industry. In view OF these facts,
which are facts, however inexplic.
able they may be, 1t must be adj
mitted that the advice to MeXicaps
to keep out of the United States
during the present hard times be-
yond the Rio Grande is eminently
sound.

would take a third erm. There is no
pronounced candidate for the Presidency
among the Democrats, not because the
chances of his election are nos good, 2ut
because it is too early for candidates to
appear. Mr.. VIM. O. Whitney is the
most talked of. see he says he is rot
candidate Mr.. Whitney is human
aud he would make splendid candidate.
"My best information is that the Dem-
ocrats are going to get together and carry
New York next November. That will
encourage the Democrats Of other States.
We shall, therefore, go INTO the cam
paign full of enthusiasm. With TIE re-
turn of good times the free coinage of
silver agitation will die out and good
times mean a Democratic victory in

WINSTON, N. O., Aug. II.
In the trial of Sunday nights rioters
the State is represented by four able
LAWYERS, besides the Solicitor. Several
prisoners have employed counsel, but
many of them have none.
Among the witnesses examined for
the State to-day were Mayor Gray,
Sheriff Macarthur and Lawyer @. B.
Watson, who gave damaging testimony.
The State sought to establish by these
witnesses the fact that there was an un-
lawful assembly. Several of the pris-
oners were identified as being
present at different periods OF
the trouble, some of them displaying
pistols and guns. 1t was shown by the
witnesses that the stubborness manifested
by the mob was remarkably foolish in
refusing to disperse after the conserya
tive war; ilgs, and the assurances given
them by officials and well known citizens
Their folly was emphasized by fact
brought out in Mayor Gray's testimony.
He was told that the negroes feared that
Tuttle would be lynched by people from
the country, and that they had been in

upon the mayor sent the chiet of police
with one of the negroes to the west end
in order that they might be satisfied
that the report was untrue. Even
after this the mob persistently re
fused to disperse.
Gov. Carr, this afternoon, having or
dered special term of court for the
trial of the rioters, all of the cases will
be disposed of next week.
Micajah Watts, one of the leaders of
the mob, was sentenced to the county
roads for six months this afternoon for
having concealed weapon on the night
of the trouble.
In the report of the grand jury to day
a strong recommendation was made for
the county to build new court house.
In calling attention to the report Judge
Brown announced that the county COM
missioners could build one without vote
of the people and it was their duty to
have it constructed.
