The first county to hold a convention
in North Carolina was jackson. 1t
declared for free coinage. Now let the
other ninety-tiye speak out as plainly!
The people are in the saddle!
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-04-28

The advocates OF free coinage must
not permit any advocacy Of fusion or
any denunciation of fusion, or any
thing else, to divert them from the im-
portant work they have in hand, Talk
Of fusion IS a chimerical dream; de
nunciaticn Of fusion is raising UP a
bogy man and knocking him down.
III these things are permitted to en-
gage the attention Of thepeople, there is
danger that one Of the chief matters for
which the State convention is called
will be,in a measure, lost sight Of, to-
wit: the election Of twenty-five silver
delegates to the National convention.
There may be those who do not lay
as much stress upon the Importance
Of this step as upon securing good
State government, but unless the party
stands firmly to its principles in re-
gard to silver, the hope Of good State
government is gone. One is largely
dependent on the other. The silver
Democrats are not seeking any sue
cess outside the Democratic party
though an attempt is being made to
make that impression in order to di-
vide and destroy them, and then send
mixed delegation to Chicago. The
gold men, though beaten, will not sur
render the control Of that convention
without struggle, and every vote
may be needed The silver Democrats
in the whole country, who are strug-
Cling to prevent the capture Of the
party by the gold monometalIists, are
depending upon . solid vote from North
Carolina. IT viii be given If the silver
men are up and doing, and do not per
nit themselves to be diverted from

FAILURE TO PROVIDE.
Warrant Out for the Arrest of w. G.
Hughes, the We1l-Known Build
ing Contractor.

A complaint was sworn to in Judge
Campbells court yesterday for the arrest
of William G. Hughes, the well-known
building contractor, on the charge of fail
ure to provide.
The complaining witness is his wife, who
is now living at 2113 Webster street. The
couple separated about five years ago,
Hughes taking the two older children and
Mrs. Hughes the two younger. Hughes
agreed to pay her monthly allowance for
the support of herself and the two chill
dren, and he was prompt in his payment
till last December.
"Since last December" said Mrs.
Hughes, ''my husband has only given me
so cents. He has treated me most shame
fully. He is spending his money on other
women, and refuses to support me and the
two children. Even the two bows he took
at our separation are uncared for. One of
them is in Los Angeles and the other is
the prey of evil associates here. 1 do not
want my husband sent to Jail, but want
him to live up TO the agreement made
when we separated"
Hughes is now attending the Republican
convention at Sacramento, and will not be
arrested till he returns to the City. His
friends say that he always gave his wife
money when he had it, and stopped his
payments only when he ran short offunds.

The Rich lie Roi Gold Sine.

James f. Wardner, the widely known mining
man who has been operating in the Trail
Greek and other northern districts, who is
now in San Francisco, has received definite
figures showing that the product of the LIE Roi
gold mine for the last three months has been
800, 900 over all expenses. The LIE Roi is a
new mine, but Mr.. Wardner thinks it is one of
the greatest properties proba bly, that has been
discovered in the West "The mine is owned
by w. r. Peyton, Judge George Turner, w. N.
ID. Turner and J. r. Henley OF Spokane" said
Mr.. Wardner. "They are all lawyers, and i
think they have got big thing. The ore is
what is called an auriferous sulphide. 1t is 4
per cent copper, so per cent sulpfurets, so
per cent iron and the remainder silieate and

THE BOTTLED WILL.
Otis Parsons Heirs Claim Forgery
and Will Press for Dis
tributiOn.

The petition of the Jennie Parsons and
Otis Parsons heirs for final distribution
of the estate filed by Messrs. Gunnison,
Booth & Bartnett opens new chapter in
the sensational bottled will case.
The will offered for probate by Mrs.
Brooks of Chicago year and half ago,
it will be recalled, was claimed TO have
been found floating in bottle in 1875 and
laid in concealment among other papers
in bureau drawer for twenty years.
Mrs Brooks died few months ago and
E. c. Parsons, Talcott Parsons and Mrs.
f. Wheaden, the sole surviving heirs OF
Otis Parsons, who was drowned at the
same time his wife, Jennie, lost her life in
the foundering of the steamer bound for
Portland in 1875, intend to push the peti-
tion for settlement and brush aside all op-
position.
The claim will be set up and urged that
the bottled will is a forgery. The attor-
neys for the heirs say that even though
the forgery cannot be established. the will
does not comply with the requirements OF
an Geographic will.

The good old tragedy of "Virgin1us" is
proving entirely satisfactory to patrons of

this City many time, and oft with famous
actors in the title-role, but it has seldom
been better staged.
"Our Boys" under its ridiculous situa-

II want to address word to the men of
California to outline my position. The
question of suffrage of women is lust an
incident in the great main question of the
recognition of the equality of sexes. If the
Republican party is willing to put such a
plank in its platform, l am willing that it
should do so.
II am willing to see every party give it a
fair trial. If 1t be a mistake it will GER
tainIy not be the first one. Suffrage has
not been a success everywhere. In some
places it has not been an unqualified sue
cess. [Cries of'Where? wherein
81 believe that the great fault is that
women are not persistent enough in ouali-
flying themselves for their own success,
particularly in reaching for that physical
perfection Miss Slaw mentioned.
IF we could produce the result of 100
years OF women not wearing corsets, of
women able to climb hills, 10 swim. of
women not putting poison paint on their
faces or dye on their hair, then not q man
wauld object to the absolute recognition of
woman on basis of equality with them
selves.
Ladies, Iwant now to tell the electors OF
California that the school system of Cali

physical training in the schooIrooms.

woman can never be evolved in her full
