SEABOARD RATES WITHDRAWN
The Rate War Will End if Judge Simon
toms Injunction Holds.

Washington, July 30.-The rate war
between the Seaboard Airline and
other southern roads will remain in
statu quo until the trial to make the
Injunction issued by Judge Simonton
permanent is decided at Greenville,
S. c., August Is.
I'll. w. b. Glover, of the Airline to-
day gave the Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Geographic notice from
Portsmouth that the 20 per cent cut
which went into effect on July II
would be withdrawn August s, pending
Judge Simonton's decision August Is.
The so per cent cuts which were to
have been declared by the Southern
States Traffic Association and the
Southeastern Mississippi Valley Asso-
citation were never put into effect ow-
ing to the injunction. Mr.. Glover in
his telegram said: "This notice is
served in compliance with orders from
Judge Simonton and will apply pend
ing his decision at Greenville."
Should the injunction be made per-
manent, of course, the rate war will
be at end. If it is not the action of the
Seaboard will probably govern the
course of the other southern roads. 1t
is believed at the Interstate Com
merce Commission that Judge Simon
ton modified his order so as to per-
NIT the Airline to give the customary
ten days notice of the withdrawal of
its rates.

LABOR LEADERS FOR BRYAN.
journal of the Knights of Labor Sup
porting Democracy.

New York, July 30.-The official
journal of the Knights OF Labor is
taking an active part in the campaign,
supporting the Democratic candidate.
In the issue of to-day the Journal says:
THE deep interest which the gold
bankers are manifesting in the welfare
of the workingmen in these Presiden-
tial election times is something truly
touching. These benevolent hnanciers
are positively panic stricken over THE
impending danger to the workingmen
from free coinage and an increased
volume of money. The movement TO
curtail production i'm the textile indus
try has already affected 5000, 900 spin
dies in New England and the Middle
States. and will throw from 10000 To
10000 people out of employment. This
is the slirmish line of the gOldbug ar
my. and Will, no doubt, be followed
elsewhere by similar cOercive meas
urcs. Like the waving Of the bloody
shirt. these tactics nowadays act as
"A boomerang. and chickens come
home to roost' Three things are nee
esssarv to the business prospects Of
land, labor and money Nature fur
niahes the land. the people furnish the
labor and the Government should fur
niSh the money. The total amount Of
coined gold i'm the world is S4,000,000
600, and the total public and private
debt in the United States alone is $40,
000, 900, 900. which. TO save the honor
and credit Of the nation should be
payable in gold The Old lady of
Threadneedle street sets the price Of
gold as a commodity az , pounds II
shlllings and few pence per ounce,
and compels the rest Of the earth to
recognize her standard. Any person
with sufficient audacity to object to
rhis arrangement is an Anarchist, re-
pudiator danger to our free Repub-
lie"

THE GoLDoLATERs' PROGRAM.

1t is now apparent that some OF the
boiling gold Democrats will nominate
presidential ticket. They have been
in quandary whether to nominate
a ticket or to vote for Mckinley. They
are now convinced that they can do
more to help Mckinley by nominating
ticket than by voting for him open
~. They find Democrats who, though
willing to bolt, are not ready to swal
low the whole Republican policy at
one dose, A half way house is to be
provided for them in the shape of
boiling ticket,
AS part Of the Whitney-Hanna pro-
gramme it is proposed to make fu-
sion in Congressional districts so that
even if Mckinley should be defeated,
a House Of Representatives hostile to
sim legislation can be secured To
this end in Northern districts usually
Democratic, the Republicans are to
support .'sound money" Democrats
for Congress, and in districts ordinari-
" Republican, "sound money" Demo
Gratis are to support Republican gold
candidates.
The advocates of silver must take
notice that the goldolaters care moth
ing for party, but are determined to
defeat silver legislation no matter
what it costs.
1t is quite as important that the sill
yer men shall elect majority of the
next House as that they shall elect
Mr.. Bryan to the presidency. lie could
not open the mints to both metals
without Congressional enactment. 1t
is therefore important that the silver
men should not have two silver candi-
dates in any silver district from
Maine to California.

BRYAN WILL GET THE soss.
Employer ard EnpIoye Swap PoItica
Faith Completely.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 30.--A
rather remarkable case of political
PROSECUTING was brought to the pub
lies attention to-day, showing the
strange antics politics is taking these
days.
The principals in the story are the
well known lumber dealer, FL. A. John
son, and his book-keeper, Bob Hender-
son,
Up to a short time ago Mr.. Johnson
was an uncompromising Republican
and Mr.. Henderson was an equally I'M
compromising Democrat. For years
they have argued with each other and
each has tried to convince the other
of the error of his ways, politically.
Late developments have shown that
both have been successful. Mr.. john
son recently announced himself for the
free coinage of silver and declares he
will not vote for Mckinley. Mr., Hen
derson, the erstwhile Democrat and
free silver man, declares that he will
vote for Mckinley and sound money

WERE BETRAYED BY A WOMAN
The Leaders of The Pine island Revolt
Will Be Shot.

Havana, July 30.-It is rumored that
300 people on the Isle of Pines, the
penal settlement off this coast, have
risen in rebellion and are taking steps
to attack the town where the city
council, presided over by the Governor,
Col. Jose Berriz, is taking steps to
fortify the place with the assistance
of troops and towns people.
The prisoners captured are believed
to have been summarily executed.
Details received here show that the
conspiracy to murder the governor,
Col. Berriz, and capture the guardship
and barracks was widespread. The
prisoners rose when the soff1ers of the
garrison were at mass, and it is posi-
BILE that the plan might have succeed
ed had it not been for the fact that a
woman gave the alarm in time for the
troops to be called to arms and the in
surrection was suppressed.
The twenty-one ring leaders of the
revolt are likely to be severely dealt
with.

THE OUTLOOK IN NEW YORK;

The active efforts of Mr.. Whitney to
prevent an endorsement of Bryan and
Sewall by the New York Democracy
received some rude blows at the meet
ing of the State committee. Senator
Hill, it is true, aided him by remaining
non-committal, but the men who come
in contact with the rank and file of
the party are outspoken for theticket.
Judge Taylor, of Elmira, told the
Journal that, Enough silver Republi-
cans will support Bryan to make up
for the loss of gold Democrats" Pa
trick j. Gleason, Mayor of Long Is
land city, says Bryan and Sewall will
sweep his county, and added: "Old
moss back leaders in the State should
be unloaded. I favor new leaders. 1t
looks to me as if the men now at the
head of the party were selling out to
Hanna"
Some of Senator Hills friends claim
that he thinks he can win over the
gold Democrats by policy of silence
at this time, and that at the State con-
vention he will make speech that
will secure enthusiastic ratification.
The advocates of Bryan and Sewall
did not expect they would carry New
York when they were nominated, but
the expressions from the rank and
file of the party, the occasion of Re
publican laborers and farmers, warrant
the faith that New York is, as ever,
a doubtful State. After Bryan's
speech on August 18th, Whitney will
find he is as important at New York
as he was at Chicago. The people are
in the saddle.

TO UNITE THE SILVER FORCES.

The new Democratic State Executive
Committee at it's first meeting gave
practical proof of its devotion to the
cause of silver by passing resolutions
looking to joint action between the
Democratic and Populist parties to Sc
cure the electoral vote of the State for
silver.
The people of North Carolina of both
these parties, and many members of
the Republican party, believe that the
welfare of the people depends upon
better financial legislation, and they
are determined that nothing shall ieo-
pardize the electoral vote of the State
They recognize that division upon an
electoral ticket would make it possible
for Mckinley to carry the State, and
that the men who do anything to make
such a miscarriage of the peoples will
are enemies of silver.
At st. Louis, the Populists nomin-
ated MIR. Bryan for President and the
Democracy of North Carolina last
night put itself on record as desiring
to meet them half way so as to make
North Carolina certain for the silver
candidate of three strong parties. The
silver men of all parties will applaud
this spirit, and will applaud men of
all parties who put the condition of the
people above mere party formalities.
tive inf ETAOIN SHRDLU ETAOlET
1t gives full proof that the new Execu-
tive Committee is truly responsive to
the aspirations of the masses of the
Democratic party, as well representa-
tive of the political faith of the masses
of the people of all parties. 1t sound
ed the death-knell TO thehopes of those
who thought that technicalities would
stand in the path of legislation that
looks to lettering the condition of the
men and women who are weighed
down by unjust legislation.

TOM WATSON SAYS "GO SLOW.
But He Wants SewaII to Retire in His
Favor.

Atlanta. Ca. July 30.-Fom Watson
SAYS in signed editorial, after re
viewing the ST. Louis conventions:
ut was this chaotic condition OF
things which | witnessed with keen
anxiety and which caused the men'-
bers of the Georgia delegation to teie
graph me 10 allow my name to be used
to restore harmony and save the party.
Upon that express condition / con
scented and the object was attained.
Sewall was defeated, the Popullst fac
tions harmonized and the Denocl attic
programme checkmated. This condi-
ton of things was not of my seeking.
If now the Democratic managers
should refuse to make any concession
at all it would show that our efforts
toward unity have all been thrown
away. If they continue to demand
that the Populists shall go out of eX-
istence as party, they will prove to
all the world their object in adopting
our platform was not so much to get
free silver as it was to bury the Popu-
list party. There are mutterings of
discomfort all along the line and if
Mr. SewaH declines TO retire for har-
mony's sake, the rank and file of our
party may break away from the leaders
and refuse TO vote for Mr.. Bryan at
all.
Therefore my opinion is that we
had better go slow until the atmos-
phere clears itself little.

ELEAZAR WILLIAMS.

sociate the high office and the holder or
claimant. A man who under ordinary cir
cumstances might be commonplace takes
on a dignity and grace when we learn that
he is very rich, high born or n genius. And
so in the manners of the unfrocked cleric,
Eleazar Williams, Dr. Hanson recognized
the climate dignitary that doth hedge n
king" and all his doubts vanished. To
the exiled dauphin his own name as dis
coyerer should henceforth be linked
Williams did not seem eager for recogni-
ton. Indeed the modesty of his bearing
confirmed his claims, and nearly all who
met him became enthusiastic advocates of
his cause.
His claim, borne out by his journals in
part, was that he was born at Versailles.
He recalled wildly his arrest and separa-
ton from his parents and his being taken
to the Bastille After this his memory was
blank for about seven years. When it
returned, he was in America amid sur.
roundings new to his recollection, but with
which years of seemingly intelligent asso-
tiation had made him familiar.
He claimed, and tried to prove it by his
diary, that the Prince de Joinville, who
visited America In 1916, sought him out
on the northern shores Of Lake Superior
and insisted on his signing ian abdication
to the throne Of France" Although q
large sum was offered for the signature,
Williams refused to sign, and the disap-
pointed Prince de Joinville left
After further research, all Of which went
to confirm his belief, Dr. Hanson wrote
another startling article, entitled 1.-THE
Lost Prince" and the interest that had
been gradually growing now rose to fever
heat
1.-THE hermit monarch of st. Regis" was
no longer lonely. The curious flocked to
feast their plebeian eyes on an actual king.
Letters by the bag came asking for his sig
nature and locks of his hair, and all assured
him Of support. Subscriptions were raised
to help him. The press, the pulpit and all
classes of society took sides, nor were there
wanting American republicans who an
nounced their readiness to place Louis
XVII on the throne of his father by force
of arms If the STANDARDIZATION III
did not prudently retire In his favor.
