ECONOMY URGED.

Referring to the probability of
another issue of bonds, The SENTI-
NEL's Washington correspondent
makes the following pertinent obser-
vations:
"Instead of this, would it not be
wise to economist. There are a
great many ways by which expenses
could be curtailed. Take, for in.
stance, the contested election cases.
Instead of allowing these contests to
drag on during the entire season and
paving the contestant and contestee
So, 900 year, let the Elections Com
mittee be appointed at once and in
sixty days decide every contested
election case. Assume that there are
fifty contested election cases. If
these drag on as usual for about one
year it will cost in Congressional
salaries alone $25O,OOO, for one year
over and above the salaries of the
other fifty who perform the duties of
congressman. There are outside
payments which will aggregate an
other 100000. This is money
literally thrown away. Eliminate
from the pay roll all private secre-
taries OF congressman. This will save
about 100000 a year, perhaps
more for there are a great many
perquisites allowed with which l am
not familiar This will be a good
beginning. Enough could be saved
without stinting anyone to supply
the $5O,OOO,OOO if rigid and just
economy was demanded in every
department of the Government"
1t is evident that the practice of
paying full salary to both contest
ant and contestee for seat in Con-
gress. for full year, is wrong in
principle and practice and an unjust
expenditure of the peoples money,
and that there should be no delay in
ihstituting reform along this line.
At the same time, strokes of econo
my in the conduct of the government
will not prove panacea against the
issue of bonds SO long as the policy
of re issuing gold payable notes is
maintained.

GOV Ro,es ON Silver.

Says the distinguished Towan:
In the next national campaign the
greatest of all questions to be settled
by the American people will be the
question of whether or not silver is
to be remonetized and restored to
it's original place OF standard money
in the financial system of our coun-
try. do not fear to perdict that
the Republican party will never
remonetize silver. 1t alone is re-
sponsible for the wrong it struck
down. 1t needs no Moses to lead the
Democratic party in Iowa to victory
on this subject. If it will inscribe on
it's banners an unequiyocal demand
for a restoration of silver to the
place assigned it by the constitution
of our country, and honestly and
conscientiouslY stand by it's own
declaration, its success is assured.
If it fails to do this, it will require a
dispensation of Providence to pre-
serve the present status of even its
organization in this and many other
States.

THAT is a curious turn given the
County Physician matter by the
Board of Commissioners, who say
that the two physicians-one elected
by the County Commissioners and
the other by the County Board OF
Health-shall have the question
determined as TO which is entitled to
the Office. We had an idea that the
Commissioners would recognize the
officer elected by them and thus
throw the burden upon the officer
elected by the Board of Health.
This, it seems to US, would have been
the natural course for the Commits
siontrs to have pursued. However
this may be, the question should be
speedily settled. Delay may bring
undue suffering upon sick inmates OF
the poor house and jail.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

The proposed plan of organizing
a silver party in North Carolina,
published exclusively in The SENTI-
MEL of last Friday, is attracting
widespread attention, having been
sent out by wire to one or more
State papers and also to the Asso
ciated Press.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer thus refers to
the matter:
'Charlie Mckesson's programme
for the speedy organization of a
silver party, as wired here from
Winston, is called by Democrats 1.-THE
widest thing yet started" 1t is
treated humorously."
Whereupon, the Observer remarks,
editorially:
cit is only fair to say that the
alleged free silver scheme in North
Carolina, spoken of by our Washing
ton correspondent as "Charlie Nc
Kessons programme" is not Charlie
McKesson's programme at all. The
Observer happens to know that MIR.
McKesson himself is a sound money
man."
IL the same issue of the Observer
appears the following communica-
ton from Connelly's Springs, over
the signature of "Coin":
"Your publication, in the Observer
of today, OF Mr.. McNesson's inter-
view as it appeared in the Winston
SENTINEL of yesterday, has Leen
read here with much interest and
appreciated as correct presenta-
tioa of the present political situation
and outlook. The friends of silver
must and will get together for the
promotion of their cause. And, in
this behalf, it is generally thought
here that it would be just and proper
to nominate Mr.. Ed Chambers
Smith for Superintendent of Public
Instruction.

Their Last Hope is Gone.


When the Wilson tariff bill became
a law the loudest, longest and most
mourntul wall set up came from the
protested friends of the tin plate in
dustry. 1t was he pet of the ultra
protectionists and it was doomed
1t could not possibly survive the
enforcement of the new law. The
fires must be allowed to die out, the
great rollers must stand lie, the
contributory Industries must be
crippled and thousands of willing
workers must be driven to enforced
idleness. There was no other way
out OF it and the howlers were incon-
solable. They had NO hope save in
the uncertain future, when those who
take money from the pockets of
labor and place it in their own might
again purchase control of national
affairs and restore McKinleyism.
But now the last straw has been
placed and the back of the calamity
bowler is broken. 1t is shown by the
report of Special Agent Ayres that
the tin-plate output in this country
ia 80 per cent. larger than last year.
This is not the result of estimates or
uncertain figures, but from data sup
piled by the manufacturers them
selves. During the fiscal year ended
June 30 last, as shown by the
official figures, the production in the
United States of commercial tia and
terne pla tie was 193-SO1 ,O73 pounds.
For the preceding year it was 1885,
223 ,467 pounds, showing an increase
in less than a year under the Wilson
law of 54 .577 606 pounds. OF the
output for the year there was SO per
cent. made from sheets rolled in the
United States, against 60 per cent.
of such sheets of home production
during the year ended June 80, 1894.
In the light of these facts, taken in
conjunction with all other evidences
of prosperity and contentment, it is
not wondered that there is lamenta-
ton in the camp of the high protec-
tionists and that even Mckinley
himself has needed the suggestions
of caution to dismount from his
hobby as the forlorn hope of attract
ing the lightning at the next Repub-
lican national convention.

THE SILVER PARTY.

That was a fresh piece of news
furnished The SENTINEL last week,
by Mr.. C. F. McKesson, With refer
ence to the proposed organization
of a silver party in North Carolina,
upon the single issue of free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1, said party to
be composed of silver men of all
parties.
Non-partisan politics is an ''irides
cent dream" rather than a practical
reality, and if this one-plank party
materializes it may be expected that
it will be dominated by the partisan
ideas entertained by a majority of
the members before they performed
the so-called bridge burning act.
Such a prediction is warranted by
the result of the late Silver Conven-
ton at Raleigh.
AS our readers know, The SENTI-
MEL is strong advocate of free
coinage, because it conceives that
this would rebound to the material
welfare of the masses, while the
single gold standard favors the
classes at the expense of the masses,
but there are other matters of vital
Importance to the people of North
Carolina that will be vouchsafed
only through the ascendancy of the
grand old Democratic party. There
fore, we would caution Democrats to
be shy of this proposed non-partisan,
or inter partisan, silver party.

GOOD ARRANGEMENT.

We would warmly commend the
action of the Board of Directors of
the Winston-Salem Young Mems
Christian Association in selecting
two home men to perform the secre-
tarial duties of the Association.
At last weeks meeting of the
Board, Mr. C. A. Wood was elected
General Secretary and Mr.. A. w.
Hicks assistant.
This will be a trial trip for these
young men, as the term for which
they were elected will expire on the
LIST of January, when the contract
with them will be continued or such
other arrangements will be made as
the exigencies of the situation, at
that time, may appear to demand.
Mr.. Wood is an intelligent, trust
worthy, business man, a consecrated
Christian, Jealous for the salvation
of souls, and thinks of preparing
himself for the ministry. He is,
moreover, polite and pleasant i'll his
contact with men and although
without experience in this particular
department of Christian work is
capable of profiting by the knowl-
edge which will come to him through
the position to which he has been
elected.
Mr.. Hicks is active, clever, earnest
and accommodating and is one of
the most valuable members of the
Association, having faithfully served
upon committees and in various
ways assisted the General Secretaries,
and is, therefore, very familiar with
the details of the work.
The arrangement appears to be a
good one and we hope to see the
work prosper in the hands of these
gentlemen. tits well enough to bear
IN mind, however, that no one, two
or half dozen men, regardless of
where they may come from, can at
tain q high measure of success in
Association work unless they have
the earnest cooperation of those in
terested in the work. The very word
Association implies the necessity for
co-operation-each helping the other
in all things that pertain to the
welfare of the Association as whole.
We bespeak for these young men
the hearty assistance-by counsel,
by prayer, by active work-of all the
Christians in the community in the
discharge of the responsible duties
TO which they have been called.

BEN HILL ON LEE.

Gen. Longstreet has been charged
with adverse criticism of the peerless
Robert E. Lee, which charge has been
denied by Longstreet. The incident
recalls a just but grand and glowing
tribute to the excellence of the great
Confederate Commander by Hon.
Ben Hill. 1t is as follows:
He was a foe without hate, a
friend without treachery, a soldier
without cruelty, and q victim with
out murmuriDg. He was public
officer without vices, private citizen
without wrong, neighbor without
reproach, Christian without
hypocrisy, and man without guile.
He was a Caesar without his ambi-
ton, Frederick without his tyranny,
Napoleon without his selfishness, and
Washington without his reward. He
was as obedient to authority as a
servant, and royal in authority as a
king. He was as gentle as a woman
in life, pure and modest as a virgin
in thought, watchful as a Roman
vestal, submissive tolaw as Socrates,
and grand in battle as Achilles"
This compact but comprehensive
tribute is literary gem and is re-
splendent with the radiance of truth.
We would be sorry, indeed, if any
American, and particularly South
ern General, should attempt to cast
a blur upon the personal or military
character of the great and beloved
Lee. We hope there is no founda-
tion for the report that Gen. Long
street has attempted to do SO.

FLORIDA ORANGES.
Nearly the Entire Crop Sold on the
Trees at So so to 50 rs Per Box.

JACKSONVILLE FLA, Oct. 3d.
Capt. J. A. Enslow, Jr.. who makes
regular tours through the State has
just returned from the extreme
Southern part of Florida, where
there are orange groves which were
not hurt by the freeze. He says the
crop will not exceed $4,000 boxes,
all of which are far below the line
of Tampa and Barlow. Nearly the
entire crop has been sold on the
trees at So so to So rs per box and
several have been resold at a profit
beyond that basis. To deliver these
at Jacksonville, one dollar more
must be added for hauling, wrap
ping, boxing and freight. Capt. En-
slow says several lots sold at $3.50
to 1915, delivered at Jacksonville.
He is of the opinion that most of
this crop will go North and West.
He knows of several carload orders
already for Western points.
