"There is a temptation now
vexing the people in different
sections of the country which as
sumes the disguise of Democratic
party principle, inasmuch as it
presents a scheme which is
claimed to be a remedy for agri-
cultural depression and such
other hardships as affict our fell
low citizens. Thus, because we
are the friends of the people and
profess devotion to their inter-
est, the help of the members of
our party is invoked in support
of a plan to revolutionize the
monetary condition of the coun-
try, and embark upon the ex-
pertinent which is discredited by
all reason and experience, which
invites trouble and disaster in
every avenue of labor and en-
tel prise and which must prove
destructive to our national pres.
tige and charater.-GroUer Ie0e-

Silver in Illinois.

CHICAGO, Illinois, June A.
Throughout Illinois and out
side Of Cook county the fight has
been bitter and unrelenting be-
tween the advocates and oppo-
nents of free silver coinage
within the Democratic party,
and as the State convention is to
be held today at Springfield, the
preliminary work of the silver
men is about concluded.
1t is admitted by the gold
standard men that the conven-
ton will put through a 16 to /
platform with flying colors, and
it is said to be the intention OF
the rank and file who stand fo1
the silver side of the party to
make all the trouble they can for
the Federal Office holders and
other socalled goldbugs. 1t is
understood to be the programme
mapped out by Governor Alt.
geld, Secretary of State Helm
richsen, and other leaders of the
Illinois Democracy who have
nothing to fear to make an oper
fight on Senator Palmer ano
those who represent the Fedora
anti-silver element.
Numerous Chicago Democrats
who expect to be appointed te
Federal Offices and others who
are controlled by personal inter
ests will stay away from the con
vention on account of the no
weather. The office-holders
under Altgeld intend to intro
duce a resolution in the conven
ton condemning the President
monetary policy. Eleven coun
ties ordinarily controlled by mel
holding government positions
have definitely declared for fre'
coinage.

AS to Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON, June 4,-Spec~
ulation ovef the selection Of Sec
rotary Gresham's successor will
continue until the appointment
is actually announced by the
President. States are being made
by administration men which
contemplate a general rearrange-
ment of the cabinet, it is under
stood, the President has given
no indication as to the man of his
choice. At present no important
foreign matters demand the I'M
mediate attention of a Secretary,
and those now before the depart
ment are being handled byActing
Secretary Uhl.
This morning there was a con-
ference at the White House be-
tween the President, Secretary
Carlisle and Secretary Lamont.
the exact purpose Of which is
not stated, but the inference is
that it related to the new Secre-
tary of State. While there is no
recognized authority for the as
sertions that Mr.. Olney is to be
transferred from the Depart
ment Of Justice and some one
else, possibly Postmaster Gene
raj Wilson, made Attorney-Gen-
eral, this slate is more generally
accepted here than any of the
numerous others mentioned. Mr.
Olney is regarded as well qualiti-
ed for the office and would regard
with appreciation the promtion.
Hon. Don Dickinson, President
Cleveland's close friend and ad-
mirer, some say, could have the
appointment if he wanted it, but
if report is to be believed, the
eX-POStmaSter-G General declined
a cabinet office early in the adj
mi~nistration and he might not
be inclined to accept an appoint :.
ment now, Neither would Sec
rotary Whitney for the same
reason. The latest slate adj
vanced includes the appointment
of Private Secretary Thurher as
Postmaster General in event of
Mr.. Wilson's transfer to the De-
partment of Justice. Mr.. Thur
Der is a law partner of Mr.. Dick
inson and his close friend. 1t
was through him that the Presi-
dent heard of Mr.. Thurber and
made him his private secretary.
MIR. Thurber is a lawyer and
would probably conduct the Of
fee we'll.
In all representations Mr.. Uni
comes in for some good place, on
the belief that Mr.. Dickinson is
looking after his interest. MI.
Uhl became First Assistant Sec
Rotary of State on the retirement
of Hon. Josiah Quincy, last o.
tober one year. and has not been
in the service but eighteen
months. He is, nevertheless,
acquainted with public affairs
and would probably make IN ex-
cellent Postmaster General. 1t
was stated to-day that SO far the
President had not talked with
any one outside Of his cabinet
with reference to the appoint
ment and two members of the
cabinet are said to have stated
that the President had not con
sidered the question at all as yet.
Tt is presumed he will make the
appointment before his departure
for Gray Gables.

THE VITAL ISSUE.

The Examiner of Bellefon-
tame, says;
The Central Silver and Gold
Rimetallic Club, a rapidly grow
ing non-partisan organization of
Chicago, at a recent meeting,
passed the following among
other resolutions;
1--WE demand that the minis of
the United States shall al once
be utilized to their full capacity
in coming silver dollars, but not
interfering with our coinage,
thus utilizing the mass Of lincoln
ed silver not owned by the Gov
eminent by converting the same
into dollars which shall be a full
legal tender for all debts public
and private in the future, with
out an exception, exactly as they
were from 1899 to 1873"
Now, if the approaching Dem
ocratic State Convention will
adopt a silver resolution equally
strong and unconditional, the
party will sweep the State in
November. Otherwise the cam
paign.will be a hopeless one from
the start, and eventuate in de-
feat overwhelming and irretriev-
able. When the Democratic
party ceases to be the represen-
tative of Democratic faith and
prlnciple-proves recreant to the
time-honored doctrine, now on
trial of 1.-THE greatest good OF
the greatest number" it's days oil
usefulness and honor will have
ended, and in will cease to be
worthy either of it's name OF
origin, and it's prestige will be
gone forever.
The crisis is now at hand Wher
the Democratic party must
choose between Democracy an6
Plutocracy-between the sover
eighty of the combined money
power of the world in the affairs
of the United States, and the
sovereignty of the people of tn,
United States. as implied by oul
form of Government,
This is the real issue, no mat
ter how disguised; and upon tn,
position the Democratic party
shall take upon it depends it's tri
umph in honor, or its well de
served and everlasting over
throw.

fship in South Carolina.
Raleigh is to be congratulated
ION securing so worthy a success
sor to Prof. Moses, and we con-
Igratulate Prof. Howell on this
merited recognition Of his worth,
for it is indeed a high honor TO
be SO fatteringly elected to the
superintendency Of the public

great Commonwealth. And is not
this another evidence that we've
got the best town in the State?
The Ne1Cs and Observer Of yes
terday has the following to say

D. Howell as Superintendent of
the Raleigh Public Schools:

THERE is something very
wrong when a man with an ex-
cellent farm, where hogs thrive
and do we'll, we say there is
something radically wrong when
such farmers have to go to Hi
nois and Missouri for corn and
meat, and it is not the want of
free coinage either It is a lack
of good judgment. When this
land produces the home supplies
and cotton as a surplus, then we
will be as independent as any
section of our great commons
wealth.
CAPT. H. H. Coor had the mis-
fortune to lose a fine horse yes
terday. He left him standing in
front of Capt. J. J. Robinson's
store to step in to deliver some
eggs and while he was in the
store the horse became fright
ened at something and dashed off
smashing the buggy to pieces,
running into and smashing Dock
Smiths buggy, which was near
by. The horse a down into
the railroad, cut neal Capt. Hol-
lowell's and into aculvert, break
ing his leg. He had to be killed.
1t is quite a loss to Capt. Coor.
THE world has IS, 900, 900 cot
ton spindles, one-half of which
are in Great Britain alone. This
country has about 16, 900, 900 and
the South has nearly one-fif1h
of these, or 5000, 900. And yet
the South raises over 60 per
cent. of the worlds total cotton
supply. The field for an in
crease in Southern cotton mills
is unlimited. It wodld take an
investment of over 81, 200, OOO,-
600 to build mills enough to con
sumo the entire cotton crop of
the South, and when maDufac-
tured this cotton would com
mand for the South over 81, 200,
900, 900 a year insteae of selling
for about $3.50, 900, 900, as it
OeS now in its raw state.
A VERY intelligent gentleman,
an ardent free silver advocate, a
day or two ago informed THE
ARGUS, that in the last fifty
years the population of the
world had increased in far
greater proportion than the pro
duction of gold. An eXamina-
ton of the facts shows that he
is woefully mistaken. Since $40
the population of the world has
increased over 1850 per cent.
The average gold production per
annum for the decade ending in
1910 (see Coins Financial School,
page 1866 was S13, 484, 100, :
90; while the production for
1894 was S175, 900, 600, 90 and
this year, it is estimated, it will
go over 5000, 900, 900.
The 18th annual session of
the Teachers Assembly will be
held at Morehead City, June IS
to 30th. 1895. 1t will be the
most valuable meeting of all to

joyable to all friends of educa-
ton. Among the noted educa-

Summer School; DR. A. E. Win
ship, editor Of the New England

the South's favorite dialect
speaker; Miss Virginia Culbert-
son, the popular reciter and
lecturer. The highest order Of
North Carolina talent has been
placed on the programme. The
educational work and the must
cal and literary entertainment
will be a rare treat to the thou
sands who will be present this
session. Railroad fair only about
one and a half cents a mile, and
