WHO IS THE EDITOR?

Mr.. Louis De La Croix, under date of
Charlotte, n. c., Aug. 5th," writes to
the New York Mail and Express, and
tells great many things that will sur
prise the people of North Carolina
The Mail and Express prefaces the let
ter by saying:
THE following letter just received
by Redmond, Kerr d Co., bankers,
from a gentleman especially well in
formed upon the subject matter, will
prove interesting at this time"
Mr.. Louis De La Croix writes:
Redmond, Kerr & Co.:
Gentleman: / have been at Char
lotte few days, and the editor of the
leading daily of Western North Caro-
lima says: Surely on6-third of the
Democrats in the above city will not
support Bryan; that lis, they will vote
for Mckinley, stay at home or scratch
the ticket" His paper, for obvious
reasons, cannot bolt just at present,
but NE intimated a willingness to use
sound money copy over my signature.
The support Bryan gets at his hands
does more harm than good. Concord
a small town of 10000 population, has
a majority of voters for gold. At
Greensboro, another city, there is a
strong inducement for gold, but great
timidity about going on record.
At Newbern, East n. c., they are cir
culating a call for a mass meeting of
500 voters; 100 are for gold. At Will
mington and Raleigh things are apa-
thetic. The silverites in control of
the State committee are making vio-
lent efforts for Democratic-Populi
fusion, and every proposed deal loosens
parties and disgusts regular" Demo
Gratis. If the process goes much
further, the party Will be entirely dis
rupted and the State go Republican by
a large majority.

GOLDBUG STRATEGY.
An Ancient Story That Contains Mora
For the Present Time,

10 the Editor: The friends of the
| free coinage of silver at 16 to /, are of
| course gratitied at every accession to
their ranks, whether from the Repub-
lican party or from that class of Demo
Gratis who, prior to the nomination of
Bryan, were the open or secret oppo-
| nents of free silver coinage. But WREN
such men, after protesting readiness
to support the Presidential nominee
, of the Chicago convention, turn about
and with affected zeal for the integrity
Of the Democratic party, oppose the
| cooperation OF the populists in the
great cause to which they are as de-
voted as the Democrats; it is impossi-
bic to respect their sincerity. Wheth-
er such men, prior to the nomination
of Bryan, We're profassed friends OF
bimetallism, or whether they were
avowed champions of the single gold
standard, they cannot be trusted, and
should be relegated to back seats.
Their object cannot be successful Of BIZ
metallism. Some heavy bank inffu-
ence, or railroad influence, insensibIy
draws away their love of free silver,
like the magnetic mountain we read
of the Arabian Knights story, which
drew the iron nails and bolts out of
the ship, and caused 1T fall to pieces.
The fidelity of such professed sup
porters of the free silver ticket is not
unlike that of the General of the Medo-
Persians, who deserted to the Baby
lonians, in order to betray them The
story is applicable TO a great many
patriots of the present day, and is good
reading, as follows:
Rollins, in his Ancient History, pro-
badly copying Herodotus, relates the
extraordinary strategy by which the
army of Darius was peaceably con-
Quoted into the city of Babylon, which
had revolted against him. The walls
were impregnable, and the besiegers
had become desperate, when one
morning, the monarch was astOnished
and shocked beyond measure, to see
a nobleman, Zopyrus, who was one Of
his ablest officers, standing before
him, all dripping with blood, with his
nose and ears cut Off Starting up
from his throne, he cried out, who
is it, Zopyrus, that has dar-
ed to treat you thus?" you,

pvrus. "The desire | had of
rendering you service has put me into
this condition. As | was fully per-
suaded that you never would have dom

alone of the zeal which | have for your
service"
He then explained to the King the
plan he had formed of going over to
the enemy as deserter, and that the
King must expect him to act with the

Mr.. Henry's chief error in this mod

A REAL HERO.


Last Friday at Murphy Gus
Jordan went down into a well and

says: Some delay was occasioned
by no one volunteering TO go down,

heart inside of his body, put in his
appearance and said he would go
down. He did, and rescued Jor-

enemy until he gained their confidence.
The enemy received him, and admitted
him to their confidence at once, and
placed him in command of as many
troops as he desired. He sailed out
and killed 1000 of the besiegers. A
day or two afterwards, he killed 5000;
and in The next sally he slaughtered
1900 of his countrymen. In this way
he gained the entire confidence of the
Babylonians. His reputation as an
able General was well-known to them,
and he was placed in command of the
city and it's armies. His next achieve
ment was to march to the gates next
to the besiegers, open them, and admit
them within the walls.

treachery, which took place thirty-five
centuries ago, or whereabouts.

FREE SILVER AND WAGES.


We publish elsewhere in to-day's
paper an article on the silver question
by Director Clinton Kurdish, who has
charge of the National Bureau of Am
erican Republics in Washington, d.
C. He is a gentleman of large inform
alton and learning, who writes out of
well stored mind. Every word he
writes is full of value, but his showing
up of the false pleas to workingmen is
particularly timely, because it dis
proves the statements of the gold spec
ulators who have suddenly become
deeply interested in the condition of
the workingmen. He shows that in
Mexico, under a silver basis, wages
have risen. In 1892, those who worked
in the coffee industry received 81 cents
a day. Wages have risen to so cents
per day. This fact disposes of the
ridiculous assertion that under free
silver everything would go up except
wages. The article is well worth read
ing and preserving.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-THE first
of the series of California Australian
cricket matches took place today on
the Presidio oval, and the first days
play resulted in victory for the visi-
tors by a score of 1913 to 20. Australia
went in first and California had lost
six wickets when the days sport closed.
The home team played surprisingly
though the score does not indicate
show of ability on the part of the To-
Gals. Their showing toward the last
part of the game was really of the top
notch order and surprised the visitors.
During the first half of the game the
local team seemed awed by the playing
of the Australians, but after lunch, the
home team seemed to gain confidence
and their playing improved greatly. The
visitors showed great strength In the
infield and seemed to depend on their
bowling to defeat the local men, while
the latter paid more attention to the out
field work and spread their men as much
as possible
The batting of Griffin and Darling of
the visitors was a revelation to the To-
calls as was the bowling of Jones. The
best work on the part of the local play
ers was done by Robertson and Myers.
The field was a little rough and to
use a baseball term, muffs were plentiful
on the part of both teams.
