Let Sewall Retire.

to tell the Populists what they ought
to do. Some are especially kind IL
telling us what is ''good politics."
and that Mr.. Watson should never
have been nominated and should re-
sign-in the interest OF banker,
railroad magnate, capitalist, specu-
lator and reducer of the wages of
labor, and especially in the interest
of the Democratic party.
The Peoples Party was not formed
in the interest of Democracy and is
determined to maintain its own Or
ganization it is opposed to nearly
everything Mr.. Sewall represents
and it believes in putting South
ern man on the Presidential ticket.
We know Mr.. Watson to be true
Southerner, a true Populist, and
that he has the interest of the down
trodden masses at heart. We believe
Mr.. Sewall to be the exact opposite
of Mr.. Watson in nearly every re.
spect. Besides, it is generally be-
lieved that the Chicago convention
concentrated and exhausted all it.
good sense when it nominated Bryan
and made a most stupid blunde1
when it nominated Sewall.
We see no reason for Mr.. Watson
to retire so long as Mr.. Sewall re
mains in the race. If the election O
Vlce-President is thrown into th'
Senate it will be fault of the Demo
Gratis. If the Democrats are at al
disposed to be fair, they will advis
Mr.. Sewall to resign Gf he need
such advice). Mr.. Watson will then
no doubt, act with equal courtes
and propriety.

ership. -
'As to the question Of political
patronage and corruption, we be-
lleve that the matter could be guard
ed by proper civil service rules and
safe guards whereby this evil could
be obviated; in fact, it is generally
believed that under even the pres
ent system, the railroads take quite
a hand in politics and political pat

I'VE believe under government
ownership labor troubles on the rail
roads would be less frequent, if not
cease entirely, to the great advan-

Pamlico County Convention,

The Populist party Of Pamlico
county assembled in convention on
tho 18th inst, for the nomination of
candidates for the various county
offices and member Of the legisla-
ture.
The Democrats seeing utter defeat
for them had been resorting to all
kinds of methods to bring discord
and had openly proclaimed that the
convention would break up in a row.
An arrangement had been made
with the Republicans whereby both
had agreed to run separate legisla-
tive tickets. but they allowed US the
following places on the county
ticket:
Two Commissioners, Treasurer,
Sheriff and Surveyor, and they tax
ing one Commissioner, Register of
Deeds, and Coroner.
The following ticket was then
nominated: For the House, Charles
NJ. Babbitt; for Commissioners, j. j..
Brinson, Charles A. Flowers; for
Sheriff, John w. Aldridge; for Treas
urer, John R. McCotter.
There being five townships in the
county the Populists named the two
magistrates in No. l township, the
Republicans taking one magistrate
and the constable and alternating
respectively with the other four,
thereby giving each ten of the town
ship officers.
Mr.. C. NJ. Babbitt offered the fol.
lowing resolutions which were unan-
imously adopted:
| RESOLVED, That we, the Populis1
party Of Pamlico county in conven.
ton assembled, to hereby pledge ou,

NOTES FROM MISHICOTT

The NJ l.. and S. G. visited the
caves Sunday.
Mrs. John Scheuers is spending the
week at Shehoygan.
Miss Minna Sontag of Two Rivers
IS visiting friends and relatives here
NlishicOtt would be an excellent
camping ground for a humane society.
The other day our citizens We're afford
ed an opportunity Ct witnessing an
exhibition of brutality such as is rare
~ given them. A farmer was driving
a cow to the butchers and the poor
beast seeming the slaughter house
refused to be led. The driver and
others thereupon began to beat her
about the head and otherwise tyrture
her, until frantic with pain and fear
she plunged headlong from the dock
into the river. And the persons that
thus INDUCED their british Instincts
call themselves MEN! Well thew had
mems clothes on anyway, and this no
doubt saved them from a we'll deserv-
w ioI'thhIPIihS, 40 TIC low WOtllu

oh well it was only COW,
DTED-H. G. Levenhagen ST.. died
at his home in this village last Thurs
day. He had been i'll for some time.
DECEASED was II years of age and
Mishicott was his home for 3S years.
He was one of our early settlers and
during his long residence here he won
the esteem and respect of all who
knew him He was a man of strong
character, scrupulously honest and al
ways to be numbered among those
who had the welfare Of the town and
village at heart He was the father
of a large family seven boys and three
girls. Chas.. Henry, Louis and Willie
are citizens of our village while the
others have homes in different por-.
tions of the state. The funeral took
place last Sunday, the body being in
tered IN the public cemetery. The
sympathy of their many friends is ex-
tended to the bereaved family JUN.

could be but one standard, in the face of
the rapidly falling silver it had to be
gold. But the United States chung with
fatal tenacity to the idea that Its pur-
chases OF silver would bring back the
parity OF the two metals at the old ratio
OF 1911. According to the act of 1890,
4,5OO,OOO ounces of silver were to be
bought monthly and treasury notes
Issued upon the bullion value. We thus
doubled the purchases of silver. Did we
thereby succeed in raising its price? Did
depreciation stop? Silver kept on falling
falling, until il took thlrty-two ounces to
buy one ounce of gold. 1t is safe to say
that If the silver had not been ''coaxed"
into circulation by means of the silver
certificates and treasury notes, two les
sons in the issuance of deprecated cur
rency would have been unnecessary.
What was the effect of this policy on
the country? 1t is fresh even IN the minds
of children. The increasing doubt as TO
the ability of the government to meet its
Obligations in gold resulted IN the closing
of factories, the failure CT banks, and of
business houses, and the throwing out
| OF employment of thousands of laborers.
| This was the panic of 1893 which wrought
| such wide spread disaster and from whose
| effects we are but now slowly recovering.
10 give relief to suffering people
Congress was forced by that grand old
man, Grover Cleveland, who will go down
n history as the savior of his country's
| honor, to repeal the act of 1890, and
silver purchases ceased. The act of 1893
gave relief but it did not reach the root
| of the evil. The monetary disease had
| been of an insidious nature and the
| harm that was done could not be re-
| medied by the palliative measure Of 1893.
The virus injected by the acts of 1873 and
1890 was still at work. Over S500,000,.
600 dollars of half fiat silver, and $780,
100000 OF green backs were to be kept in
circulation at par with gold, supported
by gold reserve of S100,000,000l Conf
dence was not restored. The drain of gold
continued. Bonds had to be sold to
keep up the gold reserve. To-day the
United States as banker Is distrusted.
It's credit hangs in the balance. We have
reached stage where the remedy to be
applied must be of the hervic kind. 1t
is either kill or cure, which shall 1t be?

The Pilot scribe met not long since
two wide awake farmers, one from the
southern part of the county, the other
from the northern part, and unconscious
ly the conversation drifted INTO a dis
cussion of the money question. Both
remarked at nearly the same time that
they favored both silver and gold as
money, but that it would be unjust to
coin silver at any other than its COM
mercial ratio. They were not financiers
nor had they burned the midnight oil IN
posting up on the financial question,
they simply applied a little common
sense and business sagacity ard presto!
an honest solution was the result.

IF the advocates of free and Unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of IL carry
the day in November, honest though
they may be in their convictions, is there
not little danger tat the dream of the
Populists may be brought little nearer
realization? If it Is TO be a half fat
dollar, why not full fiat dollar?
Does not the present agitation point
little in the direction of irredeemable
paper money? Shall we again live through
the rag money" craze Of hundred years
ago? Let us rather hope that the advo-
cacy of free coinage at the ratio OF 1:l6,
when the market ratio is 1:31, is in the
nature of boomerang which will bring
about a reaction little dreamed of by the
cheap money adherents. If not then
the experience OF the past is not safe
guide, and will-O the wisp legislation on
monetary matters is in order.

ARMOUR x Co of Chicago are offer
ing an object lesson in finance to their
employees, by paying them two silver
dollars In Mexican coin for every
dollar L. S. currency which they had
heretofore been paid. The firm is
losing money by the transaction for
the reason that, although the Mexican
coins are purchased for fifty cents; the
expressage from the Mexican mints
to Chicago amounts to several cents
on the dollar With each Mexican
dollar given ont is a circular which
point out the facts that the Mexican
silver dollar has only half the pur-
chasing power of the American dollar,
and that the American dollar, al
though containing eleven grains less
silver, buys in the United States. twice
as much as the Mexican dollar.

The La Crosse Chronicle says that the
phrase which Is said to have nominated
Bryan for the presidency is not original
with him, but was borrowed from the
speech of Congressman McCanl of Massa-
chusetts, which was. made IN congress
months before Bryan was credited with
its utterance. Mr.. McCaul in the course
of his speech said:
DO you regard your bill with reference
to labor? Ready as you have ever been
to betray it with a kiss, you scourge 1t to
the very quick and press a crown of
thorns upon its brow. You shall not
cruelty mankind on the cross of gold"
The silverltes of the recent Chicago
convention, who almost worshiped the
man whom they supposed to have origi-
mated tie cross of gold figure of speech,
must needs feel rather blue when the
truth is known.

DEMOCRATS who favor upholdIng the
present monetary system and who at the
same time desire to hold to the principles
of their party on the tariff are in some
has become paramount to every other In
spite of strenuous attempts of republican
leaders to keep protection III the fore
ground. The campaign will be fought
out on that Issue, and If 1t were possible,
tariff discussion should be permitted to
drop into ''innOcuous desuetude". This
would make possible the concentration
of the gold forces and the presenting of
a solid front against the we'll organized
silver movement.
But it seems this is not to be. Thurs
ton in his address at Mouona Lake assem-
bly, argued rif.largely, and blamed the
wicked democrats for all the hard times,
and the present trouble with the none
tary standard. Sherman argues likewise
Ii only there be an increase OF revenue
all will be well. Just little bit more
taxation and the money question will
settle itself. 1t Is only last week that
Mckinley permitted himself to touch on
the real question at issue for the first
time. Oh, for Joshua to lead the party
out of the wilderness of conflicting
issues and to storm tho Jericho of popu-
hsm!
There can be no longer a great di-
vergence between the parties on the
tariff issue. People prefer to let tariff
alone either way for time. 1t Is recog-
niZed that our revenues must all be
raised by means of tariff The expen-
ditures of the government have assumed
such colossal proportions that tariff for
revenue only must offer sufficient incl
dental protection to satisfy even extrem-
lists. The tariff is not question in this
campaign ami it might as well he dropped
SO as TO narrow the issues down to living
ones. Gold standard democrats could
then vote In a way that would count.
A thlrd ticket will divide the strength
of the gold forces and jeopardIze the
chances of the cause in whose interest #
is set M And yet this seems the only
logical course open for gold democrats
unless the republicans are wiling to
moderate their position IN regard to the
tariff.

THE Milwaukee school board applied a
little civil service IN promoting their as
sistant superintendent of schools to the
position of superintendent. Supt. Siefert
is thorough school man and perfect
gentleman. He will no doubt secure the
harmonious action OF all school forces in
Milwaukee, The assistant Supt. Arthur
Burch is also a fortunate choice. Mr..
Burch will ada strength to the admin
stratlon. He is recognized throughout
the state as "a man of ability. He is
every inch practical teacher. If some
of the weaknesses inherent in the Mil
waukee school system do not disappear
under the joint work Ct these two men
it will not be for lack of honest and well
directed effort on their part, but rather
because the school board, jealous of It's
prerogatives, may fail to recognize the
fact that it's officers must be clothed with
power to act commensurate with the re
eponsibility their positions demand.
