Louisburg Searchlight: On
Monday night just after sun down
a fire broke out at the cotton gin
over the river. The cries of fire
and the ringing of the fire bell soon
brought all the people on the
streets. The FIRE commenced on the
first story and spread rapidly.
Fortunately there was hardly any
wind, and what there was blew
the sparks oyer the river, away
from the grist and saw mills. All
the baled cotton was saved but
the cotton in the stalls equal to

The Brazilian government is
preparing for possible outbreak
on the part of Peixotoists and
Jacobins. There was rioting in
the street of Rio Janeiro Tuesday
evening. The police attacked and
dispersed the rioters, some of whom
were injured. The outlook is
somewhat serious.
Virgo Anderson, the famous solo
flutist of the Thomas Orchestra,
committed suicide at Chicago just
before midnight Tuesday. About
midnight he entered the front par
lor of Mrs. A. Ashley's house, at
347 Elm street, and without a mo-
ment's deliberation drew a forty
two-caliber revolver from the folds
of his coat and blew his brains out.
There was a party of some twenty
people present who had been in
vited by Anderson in a sort OF
special celebration. For an ms.
tant the party was panic stricken,
and then two women tainted and
the men rushed out of the house.
Anderson was forty-three years
old and no cause can be assigned
except that of temporary insanity.

Comforting with London Money Gam
blers-TeachIng Finance.
Eckels, Growers comptroller of the
treasury, better known as Growers
monkey, is over in Europe.
He doubtless received a free steam
ship pass from Wall street.
The Britishers are certainly gaining
valuable information from young
Eckels.
The latest cable brings the news that
Eckels Is letting his light shine on the
blarsted Henglish.
He is reported as devoting much of
his time telling the money gamblers of
London how financial matters are con-
Quoted in the United States.
Eckels ought to know, If he Is capa-
BILE Of retaining an impression, that he
is telling these English bankers some
thing about which they know a sight
more than he does.
These men whom Eckels is enlight-
ening upon American finance are the
persons who evolved the present finan-
cial system and forced our congress and
president to adopt it.
These English money lords know
more about American financial affairs
than our young comptroller. They
know all about it. They originated it,
brought 1t over here and planted it upon
these shores. The idea of Eckels ex-
planning to the money gamblers of
England the American system of
finances is too ridiculous for considera-
ton. These money sharks will doubt
less use Eckels for all there is in him.
They will conclude country that will
accept Eckels as financier is easily
buncoed, and will proceed to rob us of
everything left.-Southern Mercury.

Tho Only Advocates of Honest LegiSla-
tion for tho People.
In the absence of any argument they
can offer against the Coxey bills, an
occasional Republican or Democrat will
say: "I'd be ashamed to vote for a
hobo, horse jockey, man with wheels
in his head, etc." Gen. Coxey does own
a stock farm where he raises fine blood
ed horses; he did conduct an army OF
poor men down to Washington to fur
nlsh congress with an object lesson,
showing to what end their legislation
was tending, (filling the country with
tramps and pauperizing the farming
and labor interests); he does believe
that the poor people of this land have
some rights that should be sacred even
to congress, and that they should be
furnished with steady employment at
fair wages, and that they be exempt
from paying further usury to the Shy
locks who have already reduced them
to state of slavish beggary. Is there
anything in all this to be ashamed Of?
We are ashamed of some things, how
ever. We are ashamed that we have
given so many of our votes in the past
to perpetuate in Office such men as
John Sherman, who has become multi
millionaire by repeatedly selling his
vote in the senate to the Wall street
sharks in order that their pet schemes
for controlling the currency, as we'll as
the government itself, might be perpet-
uated. Certain it is, he has not become
so wealthy on a $4,000 salary, and that
he voted for the sharks he does not
deny, as the congressional record stands
out against him too plainly.
The whole country is ashamed Of
Grover Cleveland and his administra-
ton, and yet the financial views of that
gentleman are in perfect harmony with
the golden calf idol (Sherman) set up
and worshipped by the Republican
party.
And who is it who is not ashamed OF
Cal Brice, Mr.. Coxey's opponent for
the governorship Of Ohio, in the meth
DDS by which he is conducting the cam
paign?
No, we are not ashamed of Mr., Coxey
and are not afraid to compare his rec
ord with any Of the gold bugs. He
stands today the only advocate Of hon
est legislation for the people of the
three candidates for governor of Ohio,
and should have the support Of every
poor man in the state.-Press-Rev

John Root of Bedford, Mich, saw a
kiss in the possession Of neighbor's
wife, picked it up surreptitiously, was
discovered by the kissee's husband and
dragged off to Jail on a charge of assault
and battery. Then he was fined S11.SO,
Notwithstanding the fact that the wom-
an in the case blushingly refused to
testify against him, and explained to
the court that ut was matter OF no
consequence who kissed her, one way
or the other" and she guessed no one
was hurt but her husband, and he was
wounded in the feelings" Root has
been swindled; S11.SO is too much for
that sort of kiss.

The magnitude Of the electric and
surface road traffic in large cities Is
notable. Chicago is said to head the
list with 600 miles and $50, 100000 pas
sengers carried annually. Philadel-
mia comes next with 400 miles and
175 OOO, 900 passengers. New York next
with S26 miles and zoe, 10000 passen-
gers. and then comes Brooklyn with
35O miles, carrying 112,OOO,OOO passen-
gers. In proportion to the population
Boston carries more passengers than
are carried on any street railroads in
the world. The elevated railroads in
New York carry more than double the
passengers carried on the surface lines.
Boston surface road traffic has gained
so per cent in ten years, and New York
is rapidly developing in this direction,
after a long period of Old-fashioned
slow horse cars.

We heard the other day of nation to
which the foregoing figures fully apply.
Less than 100000 people, men,. women
and children, are taxed for $4,000, 900
annually, and no one can tell what they
| get in return
1t must be Russia! Can we stand
Idly by and see our fellow beings, even
though they know no more Of English
than John Norrish does of French, rob-
bed, plundered, impoverished in that
terrible fashion? They are human and,
after their own way, Christians. 1t is
our duty to defend them. Recruiting
quarters will be opened in the office Of
The Representative, and volunteers en-
rolled to march on Moscow and put an
end to this tyranny.
Hold on, Mr.. Donnelly," cried our
foreman, you have got the wrong pig
by the ear. 1t isn't Russia at all. 1t Is
true that Russia collects her taxes with
the cat-o'-nine tails, applied to the solos
OF the farmers bare feet; and we have
not quite got to that yet; but we're
getting there! Now we simply take
away the farm for one-tenth its value"
well, what country is it? 1 cer-
tainly saw those statistics somewhere"
Certainly; you saw them in our state
auditors report. The country referred
to is Minnesota! Only thirty of forty
years ago immigrants swarmed over
our fat fields, lying broad and open, the
magnificent gift of God; and they took
them as a free gift; and now three
fourths Of them are mortgaged, and the
value of their products has decreased
one-half; and in the midst of an unex-
ampled abundance, which neither bin
nor cellar nor crib can hold, the people
are in sore straits of sorrow, excepting
the money-lenders and the few who are
out of debt. They have tried every
thing. They tried the Republican party
for thirty years, and the Democratic
party for eight years; and they followed
the Howling Dervishes-the dancing
Judases-into the mud of the Dismal
Swamp, and they can't go any further
in that directionw
well, foreman" said a typo, will
we print that call for volunteers?"
Call for volunteers! The very men
you are trying to help would be the
first to hang you. The theory Of this
Republic is: Every man for himself and
the devil take the hindmost? And the
devil seemc to have coralled the whole
nation"
No; no; they will gather around the
shores Of the Dismal Swamp and howl
for the macadamized highway that
ought to cross it's dreadful depths:-
howl for promises, howl for lies, howl
for disappointments, howl for destruc-
ton, howl for shame and poverty and
misery" Representative.
