MIR. LANES ADVICE.

The address of Mr.. Chas. ID. Lane,
National chairman of the Bi-metalllc
party, calling on the silver forces to "sus-
pend active agitation of the subject of
free coinage of silver any further than a
simple mobilizing Of the free silver clubs
throughout the Union, and keeping up
of the club rolls for future service" is
full of wisdom. He writes good advice
also in the following:
IF it can be demonstrated, by ac-
tual service, that the theories advo-
Gated by the Republican party in
the recent election will bring to the
people the promised relief, every BIZ
metallist in the United States will be
as free to acknowledge his error as
he was candid in supporting his prin-
ciples in the past campaign.
But if, on the contrary, we are fur
nished only with broken pledges and
the old make-shift of issuing bonds
in the vain attempt of keeping up
our credit by running further into
debt is again resorted to, we prom
Use to renew the struggle until BIZ
metallism shall become an accom-
plished fact in the United States.
CAS- national chairman of the BIZ
metallic party, / call upon all of its
forces throughout the United States,
regardless of past party affiliations, to
accept the result with dignity and for
bearance, and to join in upholding
the hands Of Major Mckinley as
President of the United States, and
to support him in all Of his efforts to
increase the prosperity and well-being
of the citizens OF this Republic, but
in no manner to abate their earnest
ness in the cause of free coinage, so
that when it shall again be necessary
to assert the principle we may be in
better condition than was possible in
the recent struggle"

EDITORS SHOULD NOT HOLD OF

An editor is rarely strong candidate
before the people or a successful aspir-

fiftieth anniversary Of his connection
with journalism, celebrated at Philadel-
phia last week, Col. A. *. Mcclure said
''To seek promotion in civil trust
from the editorial chair of an infiu-
entail newspaper is to sacrifice the
grander opportunity and responsible

This was exemplifed in North Caro-

Six Murderers Brought to the Peniten-

and Curries by the murder of Scott Cur
RE and the Imprisonment of Peter and
VIII Pate and Robert and Alex. Gibson

RODS ranging from three to thirty years.
The trouble began in December, 1895
when Currie severely whipped Peter Pate,
the father of Will Pate and the uncle of
the Gibsons. This aroused the most in
tense hatred and Pate and his family de
termined that they would get revenge,
so they waylaid Currie, beat him almost
to death and then shot him.
The guilty parties were at once suspect
ed. Arrest followed, and last week at
Richmond court they were tried, convict
ed and sentenced as follows Peter Pate,
8 years in the penitentiary; Will Pate,
80 years Robert Gibson 6 years, and
