WHAT FIFTY CENTS WILL DO.

The latest in newspapers is the popular
two editions a day, morning and evening,
whiChgives readers news before it has grown
stale The Times issues sixteen pages on
week days and twenty pages on Sunday
for FIFTY CENTS a month or L 2-3 cents
Q day.
Eight pages are given to readers with
their breakfast coffee and eight pages with
their evening meal on each week day, and
twenty pages are left at their homes on
Sunday morning, all for fifty cents a
month. The Times is the only daily in
Washington that furnishes telegraphic news
fresh from the wires and local events as
soon as they happen, and for that reason
1t is the great family newspaper of this
locality.
Each edition is continuation of the
preceding one, and to keep posted on current
news it is necessary to read both the
Morning and Evening Times Try them,
and you will want no other newspaper,
and they only cost g cents a day, or fifty
cents a month.

himself, and there is no need OF cropping
in the past to learn what comes under our
observation every day in the year. 1t is
better to accept facts as they really are
than to monkey with something beyond or
comprehension. And then, after all, what
difference does it make W hether or pot our
ancestors wore tails, just SO they do not
reach into this generation?
The only undesirable thing about this
monkey business is the little deception
practiced by the Wyoming professor. He
should have known better, for even dead
monkeys tales will out.

Il number OF disasters. The Russian bark
Lcttonia is ashore three miles from the
Southport pier head, and the life-saving

alongside of her and rescuing her crew,
owing to the tremendous sea.
The large steamer Goodwin and lugger

The ketch Arabella went ashore at Illfra-

TILLMAN STANDS BY SMALLS
On a Proposition Regulating Mixed
Marriages.
After a Bn,et Fight of severa, Hour.
He succeeds In TnbIing an
Adverse Motion.

Columbia, s. c., Oct. 2.-At. the night
session the discussion soon cleared the
gallery of ladies' Section "a of the
Article Oh legislative department is as
follows:
1.-The marriage of a white person with
negro or mulatto, or person who shall
have any negro blood, shall he unla VITAL
and void"
Robert Smalls, the colored ex- Congress
man, moved to add these words: And
that any white person who lives in CO.
habitatiOn with negro or mulatto, or per-
son who shall have one ne-eighth or more of
negro blood, shall be disqualified from
holding any office of emolument or trust
in this State and the offspring from such
living in cohabitation shall bear the name
OF the father and shall be entitled TO in
herit the same as II they were legitimate" )"
A substitute was offered by Mir. Cooper
simply eliminating the last part legitimat-
izing the offspring.
IL was at once evident that the measure
had great strength. On n vote on mo-
ton to lay the amendment on the table
IL was thought by many that the friends of
the amendment had carried the day. but
Vice-President Talbert in the chair ruled
that the motion had carried.
Soon afterward Senator Tillman arose
In his seat and said that he had been
classed as bitter enemy of the negro,
but he wanted now TO put bimself on
ercord as his friend. Herenewed the motion
made by Mr.. Smalls, and reported tabled,
but which he did not think had been tabled
by that vote.
He was called out of order The ques-
ton having been passed upon he moved
TO reconsider the vote. This was done.
After hours OF argument another motion
to lay the Snlalls amendment on the table
was lost by 103 10 22.
Before the matter was acted on finally,
the convention got tied into lot OF
motions.

DoS,r MONKEY WITH FACTS.

It would be impossible to fathum the
depths of our disappointment at learning
tina. the wyoming monkey skeleton recently
found is not the mucb-sought-afterm missing
link. When the learned professor who dis
covered it announced TO the public that
Darwin was right, and that the New
World was now able to furnish the proof
that we are descendants of monkeys, q
thrill of delight seized our very marrow
bones. The honor of such discovery made
every fiber OF our bodies sound a note of
Joy, and now to know from a reliable
source that this alleged Darwinian relic
Is nothing bat the remains of common
monkey is enough to drive an average man
to drink. And what makes it worse is the
fact that the skeleton was that of the
pet of a COW puncher which had only been
dead about eight years.
But why dig in the earth for evidence
that We are relics OF the Simian tribe?

Quain;ancc does not make q monkey Of

THE DIFFERENCE NGovERNoRs

-
The passage of the anti-prize fighting
bill by the Texas Legislature is not only
victory for Governor CuIbcrson, who
called special session 10 prevent the Dallas
fight, but it is also credit to State where
lawlessness issupposed to thrive uDmolested
Such prompt legislation to protect the
good name of commonwealth deserves
especial praise, and the energy of Governor
Culberson in bringing it about will commend
him to all well-meaning people.
1t would be blessing to this community
, If Virginia had such an energetic, consci
entious executive. Ever since the compile
ton of the outla W tracks, Alexandria county
las been overrun with gamblers, prize fight
ers, thieves, and lawless characters. Gov
ernor 0'Ferrall, has been fully informed
as to this shameful condition of affairs, and
in response TO appeals for bis Intervention
in the interests of good order, he has prom
ised, promised, and promised his assistance.
Unlike the clear r-brained Texas Governor,
who rightly foresaw the drift of public
sentiment, Governor o'Fcrran has halted
between duty and desire to win favor
from the tough element until his unreliable
and hesitating nature has become sub
ject of criticism.
Prize fighting is at an end in Texas,
the alleged abiding place of lawless char
actcrs, and in Virginia, the mother of
Presidents, it is as common as live stock
exhibitions. Had Governor O'Fcrrall been
as conscientious in protecting the public
from rogues and toughs as was Governor
Culberson, Alexandria county would to-day
be free from its lawless rule. But there
is difference in the men, and, unfortunately
for Virginia, the less able one now occu-
pies her executive mansion.

SILVER Is BOYCoTTED.

The report of the New York Clearing
House Association shows that not single
silver dollar nor q solitary silver cerlifi-
cate was used by banks in settlement of
accounts with each other last year. This
kind of money was as successfully boy
cotted as il il had been Confederate cur
rency, and not a dollar OF it is used by
banks of any kind, at anv time,
in business transactions within their own
circles. Silver is accepted and paid out
by banks TO their customers, but il goes no
farther in banking business. With them
it is the money of the people, while green
backs, gold, and gold certificates are
sacredly boarded as the money of bankers.
Greenbacks are gathered in by banks TO
be used IN depicting the gold reserve, and
gold is withheld from circulation To- force
more frequent bond sales. 1t is a clever
scheme for buncoing Uncle sam, and so far
il has proved successful. There seems no
way to stop it until either the greenbacks
are withdrawn or the government goes out
of the banking business, and the next
Congress must decide that question. The
claim that silver is the money of the
people is really a fact, for through the
system OF boycott employed by the banks
but little else than silver or silver Ger
tificates goes into general circulation.
