this morning on the charge Of en-
bezzlement Of city money. Later he
was found dead in a cell at the central
police station under circumstances
which indicate suicide. On June 1 1t
was discovered that he had been en-
bezzling funds entrusted to him. The
shortage amounted to $4,000. He was
permitted to retain his position until
his friends made good the shortage
and was then dismissed. Since then
an expert investigation of the books
showed a further shortage Of about
$4,000. Loehmer was arrested at 4
o'clock this morning. He made a con.
fession in which he admitted the theft
of $1,000. He was then apparently in
good health. An hour later he was
found lying on the floor of his cell

HALF-BREED INDIANS.
New Light Upon. the Progress of Racia

New Light Upon. the Progress of Racial
Analganation.
The researches Of the United States
department of ethnology have shed a
new light on the process of racial
amalgamation which is going on in
this and other lands 1t appears that,
contrary to the usual statement and
the popular belief. the fertility of the
half-breed Indians is not less than that
of the pure red and white races, but
even more, and hence there is no ikeli-
hood Of the indian race dying out
Another singular fact, which is often
observed in the crossing of strains of
inferior animals, is that the half
breeds are Of taller stature than the
pure Indians or the white French race
from which they have chiefly sprung.
Stature is not inherited in such man
ner that the size of the hybrid or off
spring is intermediate between the
sizes of the parent stocks. There is a
greater diversity of size in the
mixed race than in the pure
races; and it is further remark
able that the face of the half-blood
tends to reproduce that of one or other
of the parent stocks rather than an in
termediate type. Moreover, the Indian
type has stronger influence on the
offspring than the white, and half
bloods take after" the red man most
of all. Strange to say, Indian children
are, as a rule, taller than half-breed
children, who come to maturity more
slowly. It is noted that in so far as in
termediate types Of face are produced,
which happen comparatively seldom,
they are of uniform character.

The Bimetailic Platform.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The declaration of the bimetallic
league at Jackson. in this State,
constitutes ii ringing platform for
bimetallists everywhere in the union.
THAT the joint standard of both
gold and silver is the money of the
constitution; that it was the money
of our fathers before 1878, when our
people were happy and our country
prosperous. and the same should be
now the money of our fathers
children; and that it is patriotic
duty we all should and must per
form, to demand at the hands of our
representatives in the halls of con-
gress, that they restore to US the
standard as it existed prior to the
demonstration act of 1878; and to
this end the league pledges itself to
do everything in it's power to secure
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to i and
that independently of any other
country or government on earth.''
There it is in a nutshell. Brief as
it is, it is a platform on which every
honest man can plant himself and
appeal to the voters of
the State and country. A greeting
to old Butts! Let other counties
fall in line!

THEY STRADDLED.

The National Convention of Re
publican Clubs, at Cleveland, Ohio,
this week, succeeded in straddling
the currency question:, by recourse
to a provision in its constitution
which declared that "this League
shall not in any manner endeavor to
influence any national, State, county
or municipal convention" The
League struck snag in the currency
question and it was while it was
struggling with the problem that
some member discovered the consti-
tutional provision referred to and
caused a rift in the clouds that
encompassec it.
The argument was advanced that
the League at its last convention at
Denver and the previous year at
Louisville, and at other national
conventions, had adopted recon-
mandatory resolutions without the
constitutional objection being raised.
But this argument did not shake the
determination to hold fast to the
one floating log in the turbulent sea.
The mem bers found a way to
straddle and they eagerly straddled.
The Republicans are expert dodg-
ers, but we are inclined to think
that the time has come when this
policy will not be approved. The
people are not in a humor to be
trified with and they should not
countenance efforts of politicians to
shirk the responsibility of meeting
fairly and squarely the great issue
now before the country. 1t is a time
for plain speaking, and not for
lodging or ambiguous language.
Last year, this sane League, with
the same constitution, adopted the
following resolution:
eve believe in the use of gold and
silver as money metals maintained
on a perfect parity and intercon-
| vertihle. We do not believe that
| there will be permanent return OF
| prosperity until the full use and
! highest position of silver shall be
restored, and ask for such legislation
as will bring about this result"
This year, as told above, it grasps
at the opportunity Co assume a
position of silence upon the great
monetary question. Why? Because
the bosses have not yet spoken
When they do speak, we predict, il
will either be a miserable subteriuge
or an edict in favor of the money
power.

Ridicule was the weapon used for
awhile by the gold-bugs against the
silyerites but it wouldn't work. The
silver movement continued to grow
under the breath of gold-bug sar-

treat with degree of serious

BIBLICAL ASSEMBLY.

We would direct the attention of
Christian workers and of all who are
interested in Bible study, to the
Southern Biblical Assembly, to be
held in Asheville, from July 18th to
August 18th, under the auspices of
the American Society of Religious
Education.
As we understand it, the Assembly
will be similar to Moody's Summer
School, which has become world
famous, and will afford our own peo
pie an exceptional opportunity for
the study of the bible and for in
struction in methods of work for the
advancement of the Masters king
dom.
The Assembly will be, as stated on
the cover of the Manual, "Inter-
State, Inter Denominational, Evan
gelical," aud has enlisted the hearty
cooperation of prominent members
of all the evangelical churches of the
South. Among the lecturers and
teachers we find the name of Rev. R.
E. Caldwell, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, of our city;
Rev. Jas. Atkins, Asheville; Bishop
Jos. B. Cheshire; Rev. FL. F. Chreitz-
berg, Asheville; President Gee. T.
Winston, DR.. K. p. Battle and DIR.
7. Ell. Hume, of the State University;
Rev. r. G. Pearson, Asheville; DIR.
Chas. E. Taylor, President Wake
Forest College.
The Advisory Council of the Amer
lean Society of the Religious Educa-
ton for North Carolina is as follows:
Rev. John G. Kilgo, Durham; Rev.
Chas. E. Taylor, Wake Forest; Rev.
J. b. Shearer, Davidson; Prof. Kemp
P. Battle, Chapel Hill; Rev. Eugene
Daniel, Raleigh.
Hon. T. f. Davidson is President
and Mr.. F. E. Mitchell is Secretary
of the local committee at Asheville
From the introduction to the
manual of the Assembly we extract
the following explanation of the
plans of the institution:
"Four weeks with the BibleI Four
weeks in the mountain airi Four
weeks with scholars of the South
Four weeks of fraternity, forgetful of
UNCONVENTIONAL Distinction Four
weeks of song and prayer, ten States
represented Such is the Southern
Biblical Assembly, whose plans are
announced herein.
This Assembly seeks TO unite all
Protestants-to enlist them in more
general and earnest study of the
Book which they all love-to do this
in harmony with the spirit that per-
vades the South land-to bring into
intimacy many long unknown, who
are engaged in the same great cause,
and to honor the Master by learaing
more of the volume that testifies of
Him.
The Assembly is unique in it's plan.
The forenoons will be given to
schools, the afternoons to confer
ences, the evenings toiectures. The
schools will be of three kinds-one
for adults, one for young people, one
for little children but all Biblical.
The conferences will be general and
special on alternate days. OF the
latter, one section will be for minis
ters, one for Sunday school teachers,

PLEDGED TO BIMErALLIsM.

Much has been said recently about
a probable split in the Democratic
party over the currency question.
We nope that no such thing will
occur, but if it must come let the
responsibility be thrown upon the
minority oil the party-the gold-bugs
and let them form the split faction.
Unless great change has taken
place in public sentiment, the Demo
cratic party is unequivocally in
favor of bimetallism. 1t stands
pledged to this policy by the action
of the last national convention,
which declared:
"We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of
the country, and to the coinage of
both gold and silver without dis
eliminating against either metal or
charge for mintage.'
This is plain language and is
susceptible ofno other construction
than that the Democratic party is in
favor of the free coinage of both
gold and silver, without discrimina.

though for the former use the puffs

variety of cuts have already been
advanced. Quite the prettlest of
the recent offerings in this direction
Is accompanied by matching loose
front effect that is equally novel.
Together the two unique features

In that process they need not be
limited to the materials that are en-
ployed herein, though they will be
fortunate if they find others that are

The mentioned usage as to sleeves
make both long and short gloves
correct, sccording as sleeves end at
elbow or wrist, and white gloves are
favored. Long evening gloves may
