SILVER IN MEXICO.

We publish to day an interesting in
terview with well informed gentleman
who maintains that silver makes Mexico
prosperous. It begins to look like the
silver situation in Mexico will never be
settled to the complete satisfaction Of
everybody until the editor of the Char
lotte Observer and the editor OF the NEWS
AND OBSERVER 60 there in person and
get at the facts from a non-partisan
standpoint.
Mr.. Tiernan doubtless knows more
about it than either of these editors, and
he talks like man who knows all about
the matter, but the whole world seems
to be waiting in breathless suspense for
these two editors to spy ont the land and
report.
The walking is not yet good enough
for them to undertake the journey.

To the Editor Of the News and Observer:
If | did not know how kindly you feel
towards this Institution and how much
interest you have taken in everything
which pertains to the welfare and happi-
ness of the unfortunates cared for here,
| would feel quite indignant at an arti-
Gle in this mornings paper, which refers
to one of our patients as following Mr..
Crawford back to the asylum ''like a
cringing hound following his master
back to confinement in lunati0 asy
lum." / am sure, Mr. Editor, that this
article was overlooked and allowed to be
printed by an oversight. do not know
who wrote the article; / do not
wish to know. l do know that anyone
who would apply such opprobrious cpl
thets to one Of Gods creatures bereft
of reason, possibly by no fault of his
own, an fiction which may some day
befall the best of US, must be singularly
destitute OF the milk of human kindness
as we'll as ordinary sense of propriety.
Mr. Crawford repels with indignation
any insiuuation that he plays the part of
master to Mr.. Davis or any other pa
tient Ho would gladly have allowed
Mr. Davis 30 visit his mothers grave,
but the distance he would have had to
travel, IS miles, instead of one, the ex-
cited condition Of Mr.. Davis, and his
positive Instructions to return with him
at once, forbade his doing so. He al
lowed him to visit his sister, who was
sick. Called in physician and did
everything in his power to make him
comfortable and alleviate his suffering,
both in Morehead and on his way back.
''Oringing hound, following his mas
ter" are very unfortunate terms to alp
ply to any one, but how much more so
to an unfortunate inmate of an asylum

Hon. Chas. NJ. Cooke left on last Mon.
day for the Adirondacks, where he will
spend about two weeks as the guest OF
Col. A. II. Belo, Of Galveston, Texas, who
is summering there. Capt Cooke has
been chosen, by its surviving officers, to
write sketch Of the Fifty fifth North
Carolina Regiment in the Civil War to
be published with sketches of the other
North Carolina regiments under authori-
ty of the State. Oae Of the companies
of this regiment was from Franklin
county and Capt. Cooke was adjutant Of
the regiment. Colonel Belo, now well
known as the editor of the Galveston
TEX News, and one of the most promi-
nent newspaper men of the country, was
the Colonel Of the 55th after Gettys
burg, and he has invited Capt. Cooke to
visit him so that they may renew, for a
while, old associations and talk over
"old times" He is very much inter
ested in the history Of the regiment and
wishes to assist in its preparation. He
and Capt. Cooke have not met since the
close of the war, and they will doubtless
find great pleasure in reviewing their
experiences during and since the famous
struggle.

In the sketch of the First Regiment,

Brown, published in your issue of 4th,
of August, 1895, in stating the loss of
this regiment at Sharpsburg, the follow
ing sentence occurs:
1.-THE loss of the regiment in this bat
tie was more than fifty per cent. of the
number engaged, including some of its
best officers and men, among the num-
Der we're Capt. Bouchelle of company B ."
This language will probably have a
tendency to confirm the report that pre-
vailed in the regiment after the battle

friends at home, that | died of the
wound received in that battle. | write
to correct this impression, and to assure

FOUR Democratic State Conventions
have spoken on the money question this
week. Missouri, Mississippi and Texas,
rock-ribbed Democratic States, gave
forth no uncertain sound in favor of
"honest" money, embracing both gold
and silver. In Iowa, which has never

the office holders adopted the Chicago

We hazard the prediction that Secre-

Jackson. He lives in the same district
of Justice Jaekson's home, and therefore
the location is good. 1t is well known
that President Cleveland at first de-
termined to make him Chief Justice at
the time Chief Justice Fuller was APP
pointed. Mr. Carlisle shares with Sena-
tor Morgan the leadership in Intellectual

judicial temperament, and would make

GRAIN IS GOING IN.
Farmers Getting Ready for the
Seasons Crops.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 3-Prob-
ably 70 per cent of the small grain is
now in the ground in this part of the
state, and the rest of it will be in be-
fore the last of this week. The wealth
er has been favorable for seeding, but
it was SO dry that some farmers re-
fused to do anything until it rained
The soil was not in bad condition, and
it is probably true that the people
needed the rain more than the ground
did. The effect, however, was the
same, and for this reason not over
three-quarters of the small grain is in
the ground, whereas it should all be
there by this time.
JAMESTOWN, n. D., April 3.-The
ground is now nearly in condition to
work well, and preparations are being
made by the farmers to get on their
land this week and commence seeding.
Although the ground is very dry, the
snowfall not exceeding six or eight
inches, the absence of rain at this
time is believed to be good sign for
the future. Experience has shown
that North Dakota receives an aver
age rainfall each year sufficient to
more than mature crops, and al
though it does not always occur at
Just the time most desired. still it is
not believed that the season of 1895
will be an exception.
MORRIS, MINI, April 3.-The ground
is so dry in this vicinity that farmers
are unable to do much, if any, seeding,
as the wind blows the dirt off from
the seed. A large amount of flax will
be sowed in this county this season,
and probably not so much wheat.
WILMOT, S. D., April 9.-Farmers
are now busy seeding. Many have al
ready put in considerable wheat, but
the acreage will be much smaller than
heretofore. The weather is very dry,
but the land is in fine condition for
seeding Most of the grain will be
v,,,t in thic week

England VIII Certainly Resent
Spanish Outrage on the Ethel
red.
WASHINGTON, April at is stated
by officials that the reported firing
by q Spanish gunboat on the British
ship Ethelred, bound from Boston to
Jamaica, if confirmed, will give the
United States and Great Britain a
common cause in demanding explana
tions and indemnity from Spain. Of
fetal confirmation of the indignity on
the Ethelred has not yet been received
here, either at the state departmnt or
British embassy. 1t is said that the
usual course would be for the COM
mander of the steamer to report the
facts to the London foreign office.
AS he was bound for Jamaica he may
first report to the governor general of
that British colony, who in turn would
present the case to the foreign office.
Great Britain is quick to take cog
n1Zance of any interference with her
merchant marine, and it is not doubted
that If the facts are as reported the
foreign office will speedily ask of Spain,
first, an explanation, and, second, COM
penSation. The circumstances appear
to be almost identical with the firing
on the Allianca. 1t is not yet clear,
however, whether the Ethelred was on
the high sea or was within six miles
Of Cape Maysi, which is the jurisdic-
tion limit claimed by Spain.
If within the limit, the claim may
present an interesting comparison Of
the British and American policy on
marine jurisdiction. In Mr.. Gresham's S
demand on Spain he took the advanced
position that American vessels on their
regular routes could not be molested.
even within the Jurisdiction of Spanish
waters. If Great Britain takes a sim
liar position as to her merchant YES
sells on their regular routes to Jamaica.
1t will go far toward the termination
OF Spa1n's claims of the right of search
and seizure within Cuban waters.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 3.-An insur-i

1sh, Continental and American comma
nies. with the British and foreign COM
panies at the head, has been making
blanket contracts with flour and wheat
shippers for their insurance. The
rates heretofore governing have been
cut almost half, and the companies
which have previously been doing this
business are in danger of losing all
their businesss, and they will pool and
fight the other combine. The combine
has made contracts with Duluth and
lower lake shippers, and is now work.
ing in Chicago. Vessel agents all
along the the lakes are liable to lose
their business, as their profits are
mostly in insurances. A big cut will
ruin them.
Rates on the lake have heretofore
averaged from as low as 90 cents to I
70 cents per S1C0 of the valuation Of I
the risk to $1.20. The sweeping reduc-
ton made by the foreign combination
places the rate for the season at I
from 10 cents to 20 cents, according
to the class of risk. fair average
under the old rates would have been
40 cents or go cents. The agent Of the
foreign companies, A. NJ. Prime, has

From the shippers standpoint, the

manner in which they have taken ad,
