Mud on the Streets.


While Eddie Kelly, young man in
the employ Of Moore & Shipman, butch
ers, was driving on Swetland street
yesterday morning, his horse fell in the
deep mud and sustained several
bruises. This is a frequent occurrance
on this thoroughfare, as the mud is
very deep and the street contains many
deep holes. The cutters are seldom
cleaned and are now filled with ice and
mud. Lafayette street is in the same
condition. There is hardly a passable
point on the lower part of that thor
oughfare and drivers are almost afraid
TO ride through the deep mud. When
the streets are in good condition there
If more traffic on Lafayette than on

Hickory Mercury.l
In its issue Of May Both, the Char
lotte Observer admits that the silver
Democrats in this State last year,
tried to use deception, and charges
the silver wing, which controlled
the action of the State Demscratic
executive committee, of attempting
the same thing again this year. We
ask Populists to take warming. Read
what the Observer said editorially:
Our correspondent 'Teste," in this
mornings paper, gives the pith Of
the whole business when he says
that at both the recent meetings Of
the Democratic State executive COM
mittee, the Opiniol was expressed
that the ''goid men would not at
tempt to divide the party" That's

The Way Democrats Endorsst silver.

If you want to know how the
Democratic party thinks it is fooling
the people on the silver question.
just read this:
At their county convention last
Thursday the Democrats of Bell
county, Kentucky, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved That it is the sense of the Bell
county Democrats that our Senators and
Representatives in Congress procure the
passage of law compelling the Federal
government to open a silver mine in every
county in the State of Kentucky, not more
than two miles from the county seat and
handy to wood and water. That after said
mines shall have been open they shall be
free for the unlimited digging of every man
who can WELD mattock."
Kentucky is Carllsle's State. The
Democrats there will probably go
bodaciously over to the goldbugs. In
North Carolina the party will make
big bluffs for silver, but if the big
bosses say "gold," it will cote gold
no matter what it has said.

"When the masses think, kings
tremble."
The rule holds good in republics.
The intelligence of the masses
is the only check upon the
career of the political scoundrel.
The political boss never fears the
"vote-'er-straight" voter, and for whom
he has but little respect. The "vote-'er-
straight" voter is political clod, made
up of Ignorance and prejudice. Think
ing leads to investigation, and investi-
tion leads to independence of either
the boss or the party, if they be wrong.
The unthinking voter never discovers
a wrong; or if, coupled with prejudice,
q wrong is discovered, prejudice serves
as an inseparable barrier to independ-
ent action. The unthinking, prejudiced
voter is therefore, a willing tool of the
corrupt and scheming politician

MILWAUKEE, May 2S.-Henry Willard
will probably soon be called into court
to make an accounting of over $500, 00O
of Northern Pacific money which the
receivers, Messrs Payne, Rouse and
Cakes, believe he has unlawfully with
held The facts are set forth in long
report just filed by the receivers and in
which they claim that in the transac-
tions growing out of the purchase and
transfer to the Northern Pacific of the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba road
Mr. Willard withheld $545, 900, which
the receivers will seek to recover. Mr..
Willard has denied his liability to any
acc bunting to the receivers. The re-
ceivers submit the report of their
comptroller as to the moneys claimed
and ask the court for instructions for
proceeding to recover the amount. The
claim is for an accounting of the
moneys which Mr.. Willard received
as financial agent of the Northern Pa
cific and Manitoba road.
