GETTING IN FINE WORK.

"The Caucasian, of Raleigh, N. c., is
getting in some fine work in behalf of
the people. "-Philadelphia Item.
The Item is daily reform paper
of force and virility. 1t is a cham
pion of free silver, government
ownership of railways and other
anti-monopoly and anti-corruption
principles. The popularity of this
paper is attested by the fact that it
has bona tide circulation of one
hundred and eighty nine thousand
copies per day.
Secretary Smith is more frank
than Carlisle. He makes no con-
C lment of the fact that the Cleve-
land administration is employing
every fundamentally in it's power
to make it's gold campaign success
full. The coercion of federal office
holders to accomplish this purpose
is the line of battle on which their
hopes rest. Offices and Office hold
ers are to be made the Instrument
for crushing the silver people.
Secretary Smith not only proposes
to defend his change of position on
the silver question since he learned
finance at the knee of Mr.. Cleveland,
but he intends to furnish all the
silver ofticeholders in Georgia with
arguments of how conversion to gold
can be defended. Those who can't
learn from President Cleveland,
must pay tile penalty-lose their jobs.
Let everybody-every6ody remem.
Der that Cleveland once issued q
manifesto in which he said it was
improper for fice-holders to actively
interest themselves in campaigns,
Then let everybody remember that
when he m de deal with London
Jew gold syndicate by which that
syndicate made more than nine mil
lions of dollars out of the govern
ment, this same Cleveland issued a
manifesto in which he declared that
office holders must stand by the adj
ministration, or be summarily dealt
with. When you are thinking about
what you are going to do, don't for
get little matters like this.
And Mr.. Hoke Smith has 'chang-
ed his mind" Mr.. Carlisle also
changed his mind. So has the Hon
orable Mr.. Ransom; and Senator
Jno. M. Palmer is also one of the
changers. They've all changed
within the last two years. Now they
are gold-bugs. It is all right for a
man to "change his mind" But an
Interestingly coincidental feature of
the changes in this instance is the
fact that while all of them got in on
a free silver platform, all of
them changed with the national
'fsell out" to the gold bugs and at the
command of G.. Cleveland ESQ.

The Democratic papers are driven
to the last desperate resort of trying
to show that ''ma]ority of the Dem
ocratic party has always favored and
voted for silver" Majority is good,
but the party has always been split.
A house divided against itself eau
not stand, and he that is wise will
not put bis trust in it.

Secretary Hoke Smith Is about to
start for Georgia to deliver a series
of speeches in favor of the single
gold standard. He will begin in
the northern part of the State at
Gainesville and from there will 20
to Columbus, and afterwards to
Speaker Crisp's district. All these
districts are free silver strong-holds.

Some of the Democratic free silver
editors have been talking about read
ing the Charlotte Observer out of
the party for being goldbug. The
Observer smiles blsndly and comes
back at the so-called free silver Dem
ocrats az follows:
You will need US (goldbugs) next
year to help elect your free coinage
candidate for Governor while we will
need you (silver men) to help carry
the State for our sound money candi-
date for President. See!
The goldbugs are willing to help
elect free silver Governor, because
q Governor has no influence in ma
tional legislation. But would the
goldbugs be willing to help us elect
free silver President? No. Then
how can any honest free silver man
help elect goldbug for President ?
The Charlotte Observer says that
the next nominee of the Democratic
party for President will be gold
bug and no one can deny it. There
fore every free. silver man. in the
Democratic party had just as well
make up his mind now to become 9
goldbug or make up his mind to gel
into party that is honestly for FREE
silver and financial reform.
The people mi ght elect free coin
age governors in every State in thu
Union, but if the man elected Presi
dent is goldbug, then the Cleve
land and John Sherman policy viii
be continued. 1t does but littl;
good to elect free coinage Congress
men even, unless we have free coin
age President. We have all seer
how a gold bug President can us'
the patronage of the government tt
defeat the will of the people, ane
besides if Congress passes a FREE
coinage bill, the President will vett
it and it will take two thirds vot'
to pass the bill over his veto. Their
will never be any relief or reform il
this country till We get free coin
age President.

Now to do away with technioality
and to show that it was intended
that the machinery bill and Reve-
nue. Act should constitute one act to-
gether, it may be said that section
lO2 Of the Machinery Act refers by
name to schedule "B" of the Reve-
nue. Act; and that section 33 of chap
ter l19 refers by name to the. sched-
ules "B" and &C" of an Act to Raise
Revenue, which references conclu-
sively show that both bills were in
tended to constitute ono act, and

TIT r EST YET.


 How is business" This question put to a member of the firm of William Frank & Co.,, at 7S3 Chapel street, elfcited the response: "W1e have so far had the best holiday trade we have ever had, first, because the times are better than for several years, and sec- Ondly, because we carry a very much larger stock" When asked as to what kind of goods had the readiest sale, he replied, "'Well almost everything is selling, but we have had a very large trade in fancy celluloid cases, contain ing toilet, manicure, or shaving acces- sories, together with photo albums and a big variety of brass and metal trays, ornaments, etc. In all these lines the better class of goods have sold best. Thibet fur boas and childrens furs have had an enormous sale as also fancy lace and ribbon yokes and col lars. kid gloves, good fans, shopping bags, Irish point pillow shams, scarfs and handkerchiafs. We have made very great reductions on all ladies' and childrens cloaks and capes, and in consequence have been very busy in this department, which also contains wrappers, silk and wool waists, moreen, wool and satin skins, shawls and mackintoshss.
 Of course the mems furnishings sell well at this time, as these make nice presents, for instance, gloves, ties, um- brelIas. sweaters, cardigans, silk muf- 4l It. I-. r- buttons, scarf pins, smoking sets, and tables, etc. Concluding, he said, q hope all the other lines of business will have as satisfactory a holiday trade as ours has been."

SrR CHARLES DTLKE'S TIEW.
hinks We Might Conquer Canada, but the
 Cost Would be Great,

Cost Would be Great.
 Paris, Dec. 2O.-Sir Charles Dilke, member of the British parliament, who is in Paris, has been interviewed on the subject of the American presidents message. He heartily approved the at- titude assumed by Lord Salisbury, which. he said, was the only position he could adopt. Arbitration, he thought was impossible, but between that and serious talk of war there was a long distance. The conquest of Canada by the United States, he thought, was pos sible, but the cost and sacrifices would be similar to those incurred in the War of the Rebellion, while the British fleet would destroy the commerce of Ameri- ca. Venezuela would be the first to sui fer in the event of war Her towns would quickly be destroyed by the Brit ish fleet before aid could arrive from the United States.
 As regarded the Monroe doctrine, he thought it was a very legitimate eXpres- sion of the feelings of the American people. He had no doubt that the va rious American republics would unite to prevent the introduction of European miIitarism or European intervention in their affairs but it was clearly under stood that France, Holland and Great Britain, having territory in America would not agree with the United States on this point.

MORE TALK ABOUT WAR
(ContIaued nom Thlrd pageJ

(Contiaued from Thjrd Pageo awful muzzle, I laughed aloud when | heard of 1t, Frankly the gun is a cu- riosity, and some musum should have it."
 Senor Gu2man dos not think there will be any war between the United States and England. It would prove too disastrous to the whole world, he says.
 About two months ago." he contin- ued, "I was talking with a prominent southern diplomat about the trouble between England and Venezuela, T hardly expect the United States govern ment will step in any more than 1t did in the Corinto affair." he continued. And that was the opinion of almost all the representatives from the Span ish-American republics 1 disagreed with him, England will get ths best of it all. The United States will not brave England he added. I said then that this country would not permit the oc- equation of Venezuela by the English. And l am certain chat it will not. Why, you don't suppose, do you, that the United States would permit Spain to sell Cuba to England, if the Cubans should appear to be overthroWing Spanish authority, and then allow Eng land to conquer the natives and bring that island under English rule? It would be no more antagOnistic to the Monroe doctrine than EnGland's con- tention in the Venezuelan dispute
 Before President Cleveland's latest message any Spanish-American coun- try that found itself threatened by strong European nation would have so- licited the protection of the United States, notwithstanding the memory of Corinto might have made them very anxious as to the policy of this govern ment. They feel different now,
 "They undoubtedly depend greatly on the United States now. In case of any trouble-I am now speaking for the Spanish-American republics of Central America-they could offer but little ma terial assistance to the United States But their -sympathies would be strong. :"

and the public in general as the reserve dividend plan of insurance.
 In the years 1872, 1873 and 1874 many persons took out policiss of life insur- ance like the policies herein, on their respective lives, varying in amounts, from the defendant, upon said plan. All of said policies contained the af0re- said agreements and promises and all the policy holders hereunder, includ- ing the policy holders herein, formed a class according to the year in which the policies were issued, known as the classes of 1882, 1883 and 1884, and large sums of money were paid by said policy holders by way of premium paid on their respective policies.
 The policy holders and the benefi- claries her5in and the defendant con- tracted upon said plan and no other
 The defendant admits it and I find that it did not keep and did not at tempt to keep its account of said fund belonging to said classes according to said plan and has never accounted un- der the said policies in accordance with said plan.
 The defendant appropriated and used in each of said classes before and after it passed to the fund, the reserve on many policies of Iapsing and dying members.
 It appropriated to meet the deficits of one year the surplus or class fund of succeeding years. All of this the de- fendant admits doing for the first three O. four years of the life of said policies.
 The amounts due each member of said classes arising from the failure of the defendant to carry out the said plan, it contracted with each member of these classes of policy holders to car ry out, is large and the share due to the said benefciaries at the date of the receipts hereinafter referred to was greatly in excess of the amounts paid to them as stated in the asid re- ceipts. The said policy holders and | bensficiaries have never received even statement of what their equita ble proportion of the reserve dividend | fund was and have in fact received no account whatever of it.
 From the beginning of this litigation in August, 1889, the defendant has al- ways refused to render any further ac- | count than it has or to make disclosure of its books and still refuses and pro 1 tests against the right of the plaintiffs | to such disclosure.

4 Dog Pnrse Snatchar-

Pointer dogs can always be trained to steal, Many of them are natural thieves without training and any of the species can be taught. There is a dog of this kind in northwest Washington. He will pick up anything he can find around a yard or outside of a store, but his speciality is ladies poclletbooks and handbags, When he sees one of these he grabs it and runs, always sue ceeding in getting out of sight before he can be captured or followed. No owner has ever been seen, hence no complaints have ever been made at po- lice headquarters, but there is but lit tie doubt, if it were possible to follow the animal, that it would be found that he has been carefully trained as a purse snatcher and that he takes his booty home to his master. He seems to be aware that he is doing wrong, jumping fences and lodging around houses whens drumming aWay.-Washing- ton Star.
