pledged, or the issue of irrespon-

Now comes the populist. Their
platform of 1892, several times
reindorsed since, says: "We de-
mand free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to l."
There is no discrepancy in the
authorized creed of either party
on this question, but they are like
the revivalist who tells you all
you have to do is "repent of your
sins and trust in Christ" and
when you have done this still
makes it essential you should sub
scribe to some particular supersti-
ton or dogma of his particular
sect before he will acknowledge
you as one of the faithful--or like
the railroad that sells you a ticket
on train so crowded you cannot
get in the coach, and then con-
fronts you with, Eyes, l know, but
tis AGAINST ORDERS to stand on
the platform"
So far the populist train has
not been crowded and no such
notice has been stuck up, and
when, if ever, it is, the train will
go through with only the engineer.
There will be no use for conduc-
tor or brakesman.

OPINIONS ON CURRENCY.
DURHAM, N. c., |
Sept. II, 1896, I

Sept. IL, 1895.
EDITOR RECORDER:
The following extracts o.
opinions from leading authorities
on the all absorbing money ques-
ton may be of interest just now.
The London Times, dominated
by the moneyocracy of Europe,
and the guide for gold subsidized
press of this country, is candid
enough to admit the reason OF
their opposition to a condition OF
things, favorable to the masses.
In a recent issue it says:
at seems impossible to get BIZ.
metalists to understand that there
is quite a large number of us for
whom a general rise of prices has
no charm whatever. We like
them low, and the lower the bet
ter. If they all went down to
half their present figures we
should rejoice, because we have
nothing to sell and a great many
things to buy. For those who
have anything to sell we do not
feel any great concern.
James G. Blaine, while living,
the acknowledged leader of the
Republican party in statesman
ship, in his speech delivered in
Congress Feb'yT, 1873, said: "I
believe gold and silver coin
to be the money of the con-
stitution: indeed the money of the
American people anterior to the
constitution. No power was con-
ferred on congress to declare eth
er metal should not be money.
Congress has, therefore, in my
Judgment, no power to demone-
tie silver any more than to de-
monetize gold"
Are the masses of the republi,
can party of today going to allow
Wall Street money kings to make
them forget the teachings of their
great political apostle? If so, Mr..
Bryan, of Nebraska, was right
when he told his colleagues. in
congress, Aug. 16, '93, THE man
who wants the people to destroy
the government is an anarchist,
but the man who wants the
government to destroy the people
is patriot.
The national republican plat
form Of 1888, which has not been
materially altered since upon the
financial question, has this: "The
republican party is in favor of the
Use of both gold and silver as
money and condemns the policy
of the democratic administration
in its efforts TO demonetize silver ~
In 1854 the democratic plat.
form, which up to date has not
been repudiated by the national
convention, says: I'VE believe in
honest money, the gold and sill
yer coinage Of the constitution,
and a circulating medium con.
vertible into such money without
loss"

"The Hon. Mr.. Barrett U. S.
Minister, then delivered the fol-
lowing panegyric.
IA good word spoken for a good
man who has departed cannot be
thrown away, especially when his
body is lying in our midst. No
man in Siam has turned the
search light upon DR.. Cheeks
character more than | have done

words because that you, as friends
of the dead man, will be glad to
hear what he can say who has
made these investigations. !

duties of United States Minister
to the Siamese nation, and one
duty of my Office was the study
of this good and noble man

most feel as ifa aeat cloud of
of sorrow were coming down up
on my own shoulders now because

stay to assist me in what | wan
ted to achieve, and now what ! can
say to the wiefe and those fair
boys and girls who are left re-
spectively without husband and
without a fatherl | can simply
say he died a noble and good
man. The best test,
prehaps of a mans character is
the way he regards his friends. Il
do not think there lives any man
who can say that DR.. Cheek ever
went back upon him as a friend.
Another test is this. A man who
has always talked of his family,
and wished to do his best for them
even in the midst of crippled cir
cumstances. = = My re-
marks are only for an occasion
like this. They have no political
significance, and are simply the
expression of the feelings that
we'll up in my soul as I think of
the close study ] have made of
his character. / have to thank
vou in the name of those who
have lost him, for coming here to
show this respect for a man
whom, if We knew him well, We
could not respect too much.

ded the coffin was removed--the
ball.bearers being DR.. Mcfarland,
the Rev. Mr.. Synder, and Messrs.
Bennett and Moore-to a barge
daptd with white, and towed
down TO the Potestant cemetery,
where the service was concluded.

yeyed down the river in launch

SENT OBSCENE LETTERS.
Arrests Made at POmerOy by a Deputy
Marshal.

4AGA
A telegram from Columbus says
that deputy United States Mar
shall w. E. Mason, of this city, made
an important capture near Pomeroy,
o. He arrested Wald Roush, Retta
Roush, brother and sister, VIM. Ev-
erett, all charged with sending i'm
proper matter through the mails.
About a month ago Mrs. Lottie
Hall, a respected lady of Pomeroy,
was arrested and lodged in the
Pomeroy Jail, charged with mailing
letter containing such matter.
She has since been incarcerated in
the Jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury, and according to her
story she is the victim of a scheme,
by which the real culprits sought to
shield themselves.
A young man living near Pome-
roy received letter purporting to
be signed by the young lady to
whom he was engaged. This con-
tanned the language seemingly with
the intent of breaking off the en-
gagement. The young man, from
the handwriting and the matter
knew that it was a forgery and i'm.
mediately began investigation
which resulted in the arrest of Mrs
Hall on the charge of putting it il
the post Office. She admitted hav.
ing mailed the letter, but said she
knew nothing of the contents, hav,
ing received the sealed letter from
the persons just arrested. The
Roushes are brother and sister
while Everett is the sweetheart o
the Roush girl. 1t is alleged fol
some reason or other that the three
had grudge against the young la
dy. The Roushes and Everett were
lodged in the Pomeroy Jail"

drops piece of meat on the floor,
no difference how clean the floor
may be, he gives it kick, or lays
it to- one side. He will never eat it.
But let him drop his plug OF tobacco

dirty the street may be, he will
pick it up, give it careless wipe on
his coat sleeve, or on the bosom of
his pants, and then take a chew
from it with relish keener than
