"DRINK AND PRAY"

A good story is told by an ex'
change Of Highlander who built
a tavern near Abbotsford and
called it "The Flodden In." He
applied to Sir Walter Scott for a
motto for the singeboard. The
novelist suggested "Drink, weary
traveller; drink and pray" The
man objected to his house becom-
ing a kirk, arguing:
"The more praying there is, the
less drinking there will be, and !
don't want that"
Sir Walter suggested the omis.
sion of the letter "r"" in pray, so
that the motto might ,"Drink,
weary traveller; drink and pay"
With this the "mine host" was
delighted, and hundreds OF his
customers found out to their bit
ter sorrow that whilst drinking
and paying go hand in hand
drinking aud praying have not
even bowing acquaintance. The
same is true everywhere.

MINNEAPoLIs, Minn,, Nov. II.
1t was announced today that
the friends of John Lind, fusion
candidate for governor, will de.
mand a recount.
Clough's majority is now about
5000. II e basis of the demand
is alleged frauds in the Northwest
ern part of the state, and the fact
that "A large number of ballots
were enormously marked ."or both
the Bryan and Palmer electors,
and were thrown out, when they
should have been counted as to
the rest of the ticket. These bal
lots, it is said, were almost if not
entirely all for Lind. In this
(Henn) county, alone, some two
hundred Of these ballots were
discarded. The democratic state
committee is investigating the
matter.

Pushing the War In Cuba.

The renewed reports that the
United States was about to inter.
vene in the Cuban conflict are moi
confirmed in official quarters, mol
is there any evidence to indicate
that at the present time the
United States has under consider.
alton any change in its policy,
The only available information
reaching here is that the Spanish
military operations begun early
in October, are about to 60 for
ward with greater energy than al
any previous time. Important
results are expected from this
movement within the next three
weeks. There are now $4,000
more Spanish troops en- route fol
Cuba. They will be distributed
in the western provinces. 1t is
expected that with these addition.
al troops in position the four
western provinces will be CON-
pletely garrisoned ard occupied
at every point by the government
troops.
The lull in operations within
the last few days is explained
by a circumstance not yet
known. The insurgent leader
Maceo moved to the coast for
the purpose of receiving a
pneumatic dynamite gun, which
had been landed with great diff
ficulty. The reports reaching
here state that the trials of the
gun failed to show it to be
foI midahle, the shot carrying
only 500 yards, or less than the
distance carried by rifles. I'm
der these circumstances Maceo
has retraced his steps without
the dynamite gun. Meanwhile
the Spanish forces have been
divided into two main divisions,
one in the south and the other
in the north of the island. The
main purpose of the troops has
been to occupy the mountain
passes, and this has proceeded
so rapidly that it is asserted
here positively that every APP
proach and egress to the noun
tain recess is now commanded
by a heavy force of Spanish
troops. This plan of campaign
is relied on to force the insur.
gents to fight IN the open eoun'

Seahnnrd AIRLINE.

Baltimore, Nov. I2.-According
to reports current today in local
financial circles the hitch in the
negotiation for the transfer of the
stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad Company, which carries
with it the control of the Seaboard
Air Line system, and the Baltimore
;; Steam Packet Company, to the
Ryan Thomas syndicates Of New
York, is due to the refusal on the
part of the Seaboard's S management
to allow an expert examination OF
the books and accounts of the pro.
perty.
When Mr.. Ryan and his asso-
ciates obtained an option on the
stock pooled with Messrs. Louis
McLane, Moncure Robinson and
Judge Leigh R. Watts, it was
agreed that if the annual report of
President Hoffman was verified by
an expert examination, the books
were to be closed on basis Of SI25
share for the poolholdirgs, which
amounts to about s 500 shares, and
Sroo a share for TIE 2,7oo shares
on which General John Gill OBJ
tanned an option. 1t is said that
the syndicate has all along been
ready to carry out its part Of the
contract, and that ii has the money
OIL hand to pay over, but that The
railroad people have persistently
refused, and still refuse to produce
the books. This is understood &c
be the status of the matter at pres
eut, and unless the books are pro-
duced before Monday, it is likely
that the deal will fall through.

A BLOW TO THE sUFFRAGIsTs

The advocates of woman suf-
frage have met with a great dis
appointment in California. A
constitutional amendment con.
ferrlng the ballot on the sex was
submitted to the people by the
Legislature. 1t received, says the
New York Journal, the formal
platform Endorsement of the Re,
publicans, populists and prohibi-
tionists in their state conventions.
The democratic party alone de-
clared against it. The proposal
was supported by many of the
most influential newspapers, and
vigorous campaign was made by
Miss Susan B. Anthony, the Rev.
Anna Shaw and other conspicu-
Gus suffragists. Nevertheless the
amendment was beaten at the
polls. The exact figures have not
yet been ascertained, but it it is
known that the majority against
the extension of the franchise to
women is overwhelming There
is no part of the country where
women are more agreeably cir
cumstanced than in California.
The pioneer tradition survives,
aud the woman who has no am
bition to shine outside of what
the old-fashloned call her sphere
is treated with a chivalry that
delights the truly feminine soul.
But is evident that the average
Californian, in spite of his gal
lantry, prudently prefers assun-
ing the responsibility of govern-
ing woman to letting he govern
herself.

ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW.

| ~ iNSNhS iSouO Va llC
don Truth, its editor, Mr.. Henry
Dabouchere, has some pretty
homely and pertinent comment
on the result Of the recent nation.
al election in this country. For q
foreigner of his class he shows re-
markable knowledge of the condi-
tiou of things over here, and uses
plain language in his expressions.
After short criticism Of Bryan's
financial views he says:
"But the victors will do we'll
to realize that apart from bimetal-
ism there is strong growing feel
ing in America against huge ac-
cumulations of capital in the
hands Of individuals, obtained by
means Of trusts, which are really
monopolies, and gambling with
cogged dice in railroads. The
greedy plutocracy, unsupported
by an armed force, cannot long
hold its own against the rights
and..well being ofall."
This is the calm and dispas-
sionate view Of an educated and
observant and outside man, whose
interest in the question is only
that Of a locker on, unbiased by
prejudice or passion-of a student
of the worlds history and of hu.
man nature, Though he does
not assume the role of a prophet,
we much fear he has foretold the
fate which is to overtake Il. S
country. Continuing Truth winds
up the article with this statement
of a fact, recognized as st.ch the
world over, as a disgrace to our
country's fair name:
Americas worst product is its
dollar-ocracy, whose members
have nothing 20 recommend
them. As a rule they are ignOr-
ant and vulgar, building big
houses in order to dazzle by osten-
tatious entertainments. If the
| United States is not to become a
mere plutocratic and olegarchy
power, these worthless, which have
increased and are increasing, must
greatly diminish"
| There is not a United States
senator. a congressman, a member
of the state legislature, an inteli-
gent farmer or day laborer who
does not recognize the truth of
the above, yet with the remedy
in their hands, and a chance
lgiven to administer it, for what
reason Heaven only knows, they
rush perdition bent like sheep
following the bell weather into
the quick sands from which there
is no rescue.

WHERE Is HAL AVER?

| Senator Buffers paper of this
week says:
Speaking now for the peo-
ple's party of North Carolina,
and we believe for the nation
we take the liberty of serving
notice on Mr.. Bryan that if he
desires to head the reform
forces of the peoples party in
the next fight, he must do so
under some other name than
that of democrat. The name
has become a reproach and a
stencil among the people, and it
will not be supported any more
now nor hereafter"
And again:
"In the campaign just closed
the peoples party joined their
forces with the democrats, and
the democrats again played the
people false-grossly and bru
tally false. We are done with
them now and forever, and also
with any man who seeks to lead
the people hereafter under any"
thing that may bear the name,
or have the smirch of the word
democrat on"
There is no use for the pot to
call the kettle black. Hal Aver,
the leader of the populist party,
not onlyi"p "played" the demo-
Gratis false but also turned trai :
tor on the populist nominee for
governor and tried to elect four
gold bug congressman from this
state. Think it is about time
cor him to hush.
