Quite a number of the farmers in
the town of Rendsville, this county,
are making some extensive improve
ments this year. On section % a fine
building is being erected on each
quarter section. Rendsville is occu-
pied by prosperous and industrious
farmers, who keep themselves posted
on the different markets and turn
each years crop out to an advantage,
which accounts in part to their pro-
gressiveness.

THEY WILL ANTE.

The various state and senatorial candid
ates were approached last Saturday with
requests for the assessments that were re-
Gently levied upon them by the York
county executive committee for the pur-
pose of helping to defray campaign ex-
penses-
Mr.. Duncan, though one of the poorest
men in the lot, paid his assessment Ii Ike
q little man. He had heard of the matter
beforehand and was prepared but he re-
marked that if the other counties should
all draw upon him in the same manner,
he would never be able to complete the
canvass Mr.. G. Walt Whitman kicked
like steer; but intimsted that he woul d
come to time. The other candidates had
nothing to say further than that they all
promised to send checks.
Though there is no question Of the fact
that it is as just for the state as for the
county candidates to help pay the fiddler,
several of the committeeman became
somewhat doubtful as to whether they
had done exactly the right thing in levy
ing the assessments. Several of the can
didates who are as worthy as any, are men
of small means, and they fiId such de-
mands extremely difficult to meet.

Commenting on the schedule OF assess
ments that has been levied by the York
county Democratic executive committee
on the various candidates for county,
state and Federal offices, the Abbeville
Press and Banner, in its last issue, says
"May we not expect to see the time when
a man without money will not be allowed
to run for office The extortionate charges
as now practiced may deny the state the
advantage of the services Of some Of her
ablest men. We may yet live to see the
offices sold to the highest bidder" There
is a good deal of sense in this comment ;
but what is to be done about the matter !?
1t takes money to pay for bands, stands,
carriages, printing and advertising and
other matters in connection with cam
paign. Although Democratic clubs have
been assessed, the system is far from sat-
isfactory in its results, and 1t seems that
this scheme of assessing candidates has
been adopted as last resort. We should
be glad to see it 80 that candidate could
offer for any Office without having to pay
out dollar; but how such an arrange
ment is to be brought about, we are at
loss to even suggest.

be hurt by discrepancy between gold
and silver, and they know it. That is
why they have come to the "relief'' of the
treasury with their gold. And right now
we wish to make a prediction. In the
event of the adoption of the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to by this coun-
try, the transition from a gold to BIZ
metallic basis will be made almost with
out jar. The bullion in a silver dollar
will become of equal value with the bull
lion in gold dollar all over the world.
The reason is not difficult to explain.
American securities include large part
of the entire productive wealth Of the
world, and they are owned by men who
have complete control of the existing
financial system. These men cannot
afford to have the value of these Sc
curities shaved down one-half Self
protection and good business would re-
quire that they be averaged up, and this
is what will be done. All debts will be
restored to the same basis on which they
were contracted, and nobody will be real
ly wronged in the process.

THE MAJORITY RULE.

There is great deal Of misunderstand-
ing as to the exact relation of candidates
for the United States senate to the ap-
preaching primary election. At the meet
ing held in Yorkville last Saturday, some
additional information was developed.
Chairman Brice explained that each
county delegation would be required to
support for the senate the candidate who
received the majority vote in its county.
Senator Finley and Judge Earle Interrupt
ted with correction to the effect that
county majorities would have nothing to
do with the matter; but that the whole
general assembly would be governed by
the majority vote as cast by the whole
state. Mr.. Brice accepted this view as
correct.
Upon subsequent inquiry, the reporter
was informed that the majority rule will
apply the same as in the case of the other
candidates. If none of the senatorial can
didates get majority of the votes east on
the first ballot, there will be second
race.

AUGUST WEATHER.

Our Chester weather prophet has sent
us his representations for August, and
in private note he gets after US for saying
that he failed in his June predictions. He
said it would be dry in June, and he
claims that so far as Chester and parts of
York are concerned he was correct. Some
places in Chester county were without
rain all through June, up to the 4th OF
July. The predictions for August are as
follows:
From l to 4, wet, cooler and windy.
From 5 to 9, some hard rains and very
cool nights. From 10 to IA, fairer weather.
From Is to 10, heavy thunder clouds over
hanging, and maybe some precipitation,
especially throughout the Piedmont re-
gion. From 20 to %, chanSeable. From
"a to q, clearer and hotter. From % to
81, appearances Of rain and much cooler.

party convened in st. Louis last Wednes-
day and has since been engaged in speech
making and passing resolutions. There
is no question of the fact that it will en-
dorse Bryan and issue an address to the
people of the country. The convention is
composed of representatives of voters
who consider the silver question the par
amount issue in national politics. There
is no other plank in their platform.

=. The Farmers Alliance has another big
fight on its hands. This time it is the cot
ton tie trust. Last year cotton ties were
sold at 72 cents bundle, delivered. This
year the price has been raised to $l.3O a
bundle. The price of iron has been in
creased little, but not enough to justify
an increase of even 10 per cent. in the price
of ties. A western concern is offering as
substitute for steel ties, heavy wire that
can be sold at the rate of 6 cents 100 feet
and which will reduce the cost of tieing a
bale of cotton to about 4 cents. The only
question is whether or not cotton put up
with this arrangement will be received by
the exporters.

The gold reserve in the treasury has

the New York banks have subscribed
s1s, ,OOO,O 600 in gold which they propose to
exchange with the government for green
backs in order that the reserve might be
again placed out of danger" Some OF
the papers call this patriotism )" but
THE ENQUIRER sees in it nothing OF the
kind. 1t is pure matter of business.
We stated several years ago that the very
moment that Secretary Carlisle should
threaten to redeem paper with silver, as he
has right to do, the raids on the reserve
would stop. He has made no such threat,
it is true; but there is a widespread feel

Permit another bond issue, and if this is
true, the effect is just the same. The
bankers, more than anybody else, sre to

If those people who are croaking that
the election of Mr.. Bryan means the con-
of the country to the demnition
boww ows will intelligently look into the
history of the Democratic party, they will
find that black as Mr.. Bryan is being
painted, he is still perfect saint by the
side of what the "best people of the coun-
try" had made of Thomas Jefferson before
his election. And both parties now con-
cede that Jefferson was one Of the most
patriotic men the country has ever pro-
duced. The secret of the whole thing is
that while the "best people of the coun-
try" consider patriotism fine thing the
oretically, they are at all times opposed
to its taking practical shape.

Wheat and oats are failure this year,
