PREJUDICE AGAINST CONSERVATIVES.
An insidious attempt is made to
create a prejudice against the advocates
of safe and sound currency by the
insinuation, more or lees directly
made, that they belong to financial
and business classes and are therefore
not only out of sympathy with the
common people of the land, but for
selfish and wicked purposes are willing
TO sacrifice the interests of those outside
of their circle.
l believe that capital and wealth,
through combination and other means,
and it must be conceded that the main
tenance of sound currency may, in a
sense, be invested with greater or
less importance to individuals accord
ing to their condition and circum-
stances. 1t is, however, only a diff
ference in degree, since it is utterly
impossible that any one in our broad
land, rich or poor, whatever may be
his occupation. and whether dwelling
in the center of finance and commerce,
or in a remote corner of our domain,
can be really benefited by financial
scheme not alike beneficial to all our
people, or that any one should be eX-
cludeG from common and universal
interest in the safe character and
IL Al g ~
country.
In our relation to this question we
are all in business, for we all buy and
sell; so we all have to do with financial
operations, for we all earn money and
spend it. We cannot escape our in
ter-dependence. Merchants and deal
ers are in every neighborhOod, and
each has its shops and manufactures.
Wherever the wants of man exist,
business and finance in some degree
are found, related in one direction to
those whose wants they supply, and in
another to the moro extensive business
and finance to which they are tributary.
A tluctuation in prices at the seaboard
is known the same day or hour in the
remotest hamlet. The discredit or
depreciation in financial centres of any
form Of money in the hands of the
people is a signal of immediate loss
everywhere.
A SOLEMN WARNING.
If reckless discomfort and wild
experiment should sweep our currency
from its safe support, the most defense
less of all who in that time of distress
and national discredit will be the
people, as they reckon the loss in their
scanty support, and the laborer and
workingman. as he sees the money he
has received for his toll shrink and
shrivel in his hand, when he tenders it
for the ecesssaries to supply his
humble lomc.
Disguise it as we may, the line of
battle is drawn between the forces Of
safe currency and those of silver mon
ometallsm.
l will not believe that if our people
are afforded an intelligent opportuni-
ty Tor sober second thought they will
sanction schemes that, however
cloaked, mean disaster and confusion,
nor that they will consent by under
mining the foundat ton of a safe cur
rency, to endanger the benefcent
character and purposes of their govern
ment.
Yours very truly,

WRITING HISTORY.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE NORTH
CAROLINA REGIMENTS
To be Perpetuated in Story-They
Made History Which Should be
Written and Preserved-Let Those
Who Undertake the Task Have the
Aid and Cooperation Needed.

The following is the ''List Of
Historians Of the North Carolina
Regiments,'' as published in the Meas
and Observer. We are gratifed that
Judge Clark has undertaken this work
and hope he will have the necessary
aid in making it full. comprehensive
and altogether creditable, as we are
quite sure it will be. 1t is the desire
ofthe Confederate Veterans associate
to reach the surviving veterans to get
the aid of their recollections and
suggestions in making these sketches
accurate. Judge Clark has been at
great expense in time and postage, and
his labors may be lightened and the
work greatly facilitated if the press Of
the State will publish this article and
surviving veterans give the matter the
prompt attention it deserves.
At the last meeting of the Confeder-
ate Veterans association resolution
"do pdSSCu requesting UuuSC W dllCl
Clark to procure the best man in each
of the North Carolina Regiments in the
Civil War to write history of the
Regiment in which he served. 1t was
contemplated that the sketch Of each
Regiment, averaging, say, ten pages
or more, would make a volume of $50
to 1000 pages. Written by the pens
of the men whose swords had made
that history it will be an enduring and
authentic monument to the generation
who sacrificed themselves for their
State in the great Civil War. Judge
Avery, General HOke and Colonel
Wharton J. Green were appointed
committee to memorialize the Legisla-
ture to print the volume.
After consultation, as far as possible.

the following historians for the respec-

SENIOR ROMERO WRITES ON SILVER
Points Out Its Effect on Exports and
Imports.


Imports.
New York, May 29.-Senor Romero.
the Mexican minister to Washington.
onto buteS 70 '',c July number of the
North American Review an article
which is of interest in it's bearing upon
the discussion of the silver standard of
Mexico. 1t encourages largely the in
crease of export of domestic products.
The silver standard also stimulates de-
velopment of home manufactures. the
price of foreign commodities being so
high that it pays we'll to make some of
them at home.
One great advantage on which Rome
70 lays stress is that the low price of
silver abroad would be Improbable to
export it. The circulation is therefore
increased, SO there is now an ample sun
ply of money in the banks which stimu-
lates industry, maintains prices and in
creases demands for labor, On the other
hand, he points out that the silver STAN
dard has greatly reduced importations
and that the import duties, which until
recently, were the largest source Of
Mexican revenue, are therefore much
diminished.

SEPARATE CONVENTIONS IN TEXAS

One to Determine the Money Issue. An.
other to Select Candidates.
Dallas, Tex, May 28.-Mr. McInniss
of Bryan arrived today, making a quor-
UNI of the state democratic executive
committee. Charles Dudley called the
committee to order with eight gold and
eight silver men on hand and Is men,
bers of the committee absent. Chair
man Dudley therefore held the balance
of power.
Mr.. Ware introduced a resolution that
the financial question so far as the
democrats Of Texas are concerned be
referred to separate state national con-
vention Of delegates chosen by the prim-
aries of the people, said primaries and
state convention not to be held earlier
than 1896.
Several delegates wished to make the
date indefinite, to be left to the future
discretion of the state committee, the
apparent idea being to hold the primar-
les and state convention during 1895.
Mr.. Mosely. who had seconded Mr..
Wares original motion, objected to any
amendment that would bring about
primaries or a state convention earlier
than 1896. The free silver question.
including these motions was then re-
ferred to committee of five, Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Barefoot for the silver men.
and Mr.. Ware and Mr.. Walker for the
gold men, with Chairman Dudley as
the fifth member.
The committee reported in favor of
Mr.. Wares original motion with the ex-
ception that the date was left blank for
the holding Of the primaries and state
convention on the finance question, the
state committee to use it's discretion
as to 1896 or 1896.

REsoLuTE TO THE LAST
His Last Words We're of His Son, Who
Absent From His Bedside When
He Breathe1 His Last.


State Gresham died at Ills o'clock
this morning at the Arlington hotel.
Although his recovery was practically
abandoned when his spell occurred,
shortly before o'clock last evening,
the most powerful heart stimulants
known to medical science were injected
periodically and an infusion Of normal
open vein in the arm. He recovered
slightly, but owing to severe rigor
shortly before II o'clock, he began to fail
rapidly, and his vitality began to ebb.
The three physicians saw that the end
was near. and at IL o'clock withdrew to
the ante-room, leaving in the sick-room
only the members of his family and the
nurses.
Up to that time he had been con-
scious and talked at intervals. His
words were full Of bravery. He fully
appreciated his condition, and spoke
words Of hope and cheer to his stricken
wife and daughter. Sometimes his mind
wandered slightly and went back to
the days of long ago, recalling incidents
of happiness in the springtime Of his
life. He spoke, too, of his absent son,
who was speeding to his bedside, all too
late. Mrs. Gresham sat by the bedside
smoothing his fevered brow and occa-
sionally reading to him fl ON the Bible
passages which he loved.
AS the end approached his pulse be-
came hardly perceptible. Gradually his
eyes glazed and closed. Mrs. Gresham,
with noble and heroic fortitude, contin-
ued to read the words Of the gospel to
her departed husband. Her daughter
and son-in-law stood with bowed heads
at the side Of the couch.
At lis o'clock his breathing ceased,
peaceful shadow passed over his pale
countenance. his pulse flickered, and the
sorowing family were in the presence of
death.
One Of the nurses conveyed the news
that the end had come to the physicians
IN the next room and they, in turn,
brought 1t to the watchers in the recep-
ton room. In the hotel lobby outside |
were half hundred of the secretary's |
friends.
No arrangements will be made for
the funeral until the arrival of his son
today.

started for his home. He fell at his

news. With a cry, she rushed into the
house, and threw herself upon the dead
body of her husband. In endearing
terms she pleaded her husband to speak
to her, tore the clothing from his body
and chafed his hands.
Then ensued a terrible scene. She
completely lost her reason and became a
raving maniac, broke chairs, demolished
furniture and smashed dishes. All the
women We're frightened and ran from the
house. The men entered, but could do
nothing. The situation was not chang
ed until a late hour tonight, and her rea-
son is probably gone forever.
