TRIED TO JUMP OvERBoARD.- The
strange conduct of an elderly woman
who left Washington this morning on
the $50 o'clock boat for this city at
tracted attention, and she was finally
taken in charge, as it was feared that
she would jump overheard; indeed it
is said she actually attempted to do 80.
When the boat arrived here the woman
was turned over to the police officers
who took har to the station house.
After some persuasion she give her
name as Phoebe Jones and her resi-
dence in Washington. The authorities
of that city were notified and the
woman was detained till her friends
could come for her. She is demented.
The unfortunate woman is supposed
to be Miss Wager, niece of the late
Chief Justice Swayne of the Supreme
Court of the United States.

as supplements. Oae of the papers
getting the supplement seems to be
ready to kick. The editor of the
| HIlsboro Recorder claims that it came
in the absence of the editor and was
put in by the young lady in charge of
the office, she thinking it was all right.
Now the Recorder threatens to sue
the whole outfit.
We see it stated that two of the al
legged signers state that they never
signed the address; that their names
were used without their knowledge,
consent, and against their wishes. If
this be true, it looks like somebody
may get into serious trouble. 1t looks
like forgery has been resorted to in or
der, to bolster up the sound" and
honest" money theory. Well, forgery
and things even worse, have been re-
sorted to by many %goldbugs, and we
will not be surprised to hear Of more
of it.

WELL SAID.

The Statesman Exponent, a Negro
paper, published at Denver, Col goes
for the Negroes who endorsed the gold
standard in the ST. LOUIS r publican
Convention with gloves off 1t says:
las a rule, these colored delegates
who have the audacity to open their
mouths for the gold standard, do so as
parrots rather than as reasoning men,
and in utter ignorance of the possible
effect of the gold standard upon the
interests of their race. They have es-
tablished the unfortunate aud short
sighted habit Of endorsing everything
supposed TO be in opposition to the p e
vailing sentiment Of the South, and
whether a matter be good or bad, and
whether it be for their own upbuilding
or their downfall, if it is declared Re-
publican doctrine by the East, the
negro adopts it. 1t will be a happy day
for the black mar when he fully com,
prehends that his industrial inter
ests, so far as legislation and the poll
cies of government are concerned, are
Identical with those of his white neigh
bors. Whatever will help the indus
tries of the South or any other section,
will help the negro just as much az the
white man. Negroes, as a class, are
not bondholders nor money lenders.
They are laborers, tradesmen and Dor
rowers, struggling for the maintenance
of life. The products of their planta'
tions and the value of their labor, un'
der present conditions, are so low thai

The banks will find it to their advan

their general condition is hard and de-
grading, and their prospect for rapid
Improvement seriously small. This is
truein all parts of the country, for the
negro is generally a laborer. No sys
tenn of finance possible for u govern
ment to adopt could make his condi-
ton worse. But he car help improve
that condition by getting upon the right
side of the silver question. We want
more money in circulation; we want
better prices for our labor; we want
better opportunities to make and save
money and acquire homes"
The Denver paper is entirely correct.
Being almost entirely farm or city la
borers, the negroes will derive as much
benefit from a restoration of silver and
other financial legislation as any por-
ton of the white people Of this c)untry.
Not n negro in ten thousand can pos
sibIy reap profit out of hard times, for
they can't buy bonds and they can't
buy wrecked railroads and factories.
1t is only the class who have squeezed
millions out of the people generally
and who wish to double their millions
in buying property at half price,
thereby creating a 200 cent dollar, or
get absolutely safe securities in the
shape of United States bonds that is
reaping the golden harvest Not one

Gifted. They advocate it from pure
~cussedness, or from ignorance. The
negro can always protect himself and

on what the great middle class of the

Louis De Lacroix, said to be a Creole,
located at Oxford, and soon began to
dip his pen into dirty ink to help the

address, or is supposed to be the author,
as his was the first name signed. 1t
was signed by a few dozen other gold
bugs in the State, and was printed in
