AN OVERSIGHT

To the Editor: I know of no more
obliging or courteous gentlemen in
the service of the s. A. L. than the con-
ductors on Nos. IS and Al. local pas
seuger trains between Raleigh and
Portsmouth: but | would pleasantly
call their attention 90 an oversight in
not using the foot stool to assist lady
passengers, who frequently have little
babes in their arms, into the coaches
Of their trains. / do not know that they
are provided with these handy little
steps, but they should be, or else the
management should furnish passenger
coachesI with steps extending nearer
the ground. This was suggested to
one to-day by observing the apparent
effort of an old lady who was trying
TO reach the steps of one of these
ears. [ feel assured it is but necessary
to call attention to this oversight.

THE nor. SKIP AND JUMP.

Mr.. Morrison never said trueg
thing than wheR he said:
"It is difficult to keep up with thc
the administration it SO often
moves in the direction of the de-
mands Of the thrifty in finance.
1T has been interesting to watch the
course Of these Democrats who have
resolved at all hazards to endorse the
administration attitude on finance.
At first they said that the repeal Of
the sherman law would be followed
by legislation friendly to silver. Dur
ing the agitation for the repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act
almost every Democratic advocate Of
repeal said it must be repealed so as to
clear the decks for wholesome silver
legislation The failure to keep this
promise was the first thing that
caused the silver men to doubt the sim
certify of the administration Then
when the veto of the seigniorage bill
came as a death-blow to an silver leg
islation, all silver advocates had to part
company with the administration.
Those who have stuck to it have been
kept at hop, skip and jump to keep
up with plans to contract the currency,
the issue of bonds in times of peace,
the reputation Of even a semblance of
faith in bi-metalism, and the avoWai
of the single gold standard. About
the time a cuckoo" has turned HIM.
self for song, he has had to change his
tune for music that led up oy APP
proaches to no song but one that
measured everything in the gold dol
lar. While not himself sound on the
silver question, Mr. Morrison is to be
congratulated that in his old age he
has not attempted to keep up with the
procession that has moved from Dem
ocratic bi-metalism to Republican,
gold mono-metalism

A SUBJECT OF SINCERE CONGRAT-
IuATION

Is the non-possession OF an actively
sensitive nervous system. There are
hosts of people who, although free
from any positive nervous disease, are
set, so to sepak, upon 'tenter hooks
by slight noises or an unexpected oc-
currence of the smallest moment
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is of mex
pressible benefit to the nervous. Taken
before bedtime it insures tranquil
health-yielding slumber, and used be-
tween meals it restores that sound di-
gestion usually denied to nervous in
valids 1t is also eminently beneficial
to sufferers from rheumatism, mala-
ria, debility. constipation and kidney
troubles. Persons falling off in the
matter Of appetite, flesh and the ability
to sleep soundly should resort at once
to this superb nervine, Alternative and
tonic. For nearly half a century it has
been a leading medicine, and has re-
ceived the highest tributes from the
medical profession. Use it and be
convinced.

Mr.. MoRRIsoY's COOP POINT

III a recent interview, Mr.. Morrison
criticises Secretary CaTlisle's recent
Chicago speech on the effect Of de-
preciated currency on the wages of ia-
Dor. lie refers to the Senate report on
wages and prices, upon which secre-
tary Carlisle based some Of his argu-
ment, and contends that the Secretary
used only the figures for those years
which tended to bear out his argll-
ment
He asserts that if the Secretary had
referred TO the statistics for the
years following the demonetization Of
silver in 1873 the report would have
shown that wages, as compared with
prices, fell off until the passage Of the
Bland-AlIison act in 1878, when they
revived.
Secretary Carlisle will have hard
time answering this fact to the salts
faction Of wage-earners.

Senatorial Convention.

The Democratic convention for the
thirteenth senatorial district was held
at Martinsburg yesterday, and result
ed in the nomination OF Mr.. D. W.
Shafer for the State Senate Mr. Shat
fer, having carried Jefferson county at
the primary election, received her %
votes solid he also got 2 Go votes
from Berkeley county and 5 5-ll from
Morgan The eighteen delegates from
Berkeley who were favorable to Mr..
r. C. Burkhart refused to vote on the
nomination. They contended that as
the Senator was to be from Berkeley,
that county should be entitled to name
the man, arguing that Jefferson coun-
ty should not, in all fairness, have the
right of selecting the Berkeley Sena-
tor. We believe their contention IS
right, and we have always opposed Tue
present method that requires Jefferson
county's vote to be cast as unit On
the other hand, however, under the
present rules, which were agreed to by
all parties, Mr. Shafer was clearly en-
titled to the nomination. He carried
almost every precinctin Jefferson coun-
ty, and it would have been wrong to
have deprived him of the nomination
when he had fairly won it under the
rules. The committee ought to change
the rules before election.
Mr.. Shaffer, the nominee, IS clever
gentleman and ready debater, and
we have no doubt he will ably and
faithfully represent his constituents.
