TURNING OF THE TIDE.

No Observant person can fail to per
ceive that there has been great
change in the public estimation Of the
Dlmooracy's chances Of success at the
polls in November. For ourselves we
have never entertained a doubt, since
Mr.. Bryan's nomination, Of his trium-
phant election. Our reasons for this
belief as expressed several times was
based on the simple proposition that
in popular government the Demo
CraCy must always win in a contest
against Plutocracy when it had occa
sion for being united, and that, for
the first time since the war, it has, this
time, such occasion in a candidate and
platform that completely represent it.
The enemy's efforts were common
surate with his recognition of this fact,
and hence we find the forces which
Plutocracy can command arrayed
against the Democracy as they have
never been before in our history, not
even excepting Mr.. Je1erson's contest
against President Adams at the birth
of the party which he founded.
Strange as is may seem, or certainly
ought to seem, the pulpit and the
press-in the great centres of popula-
ton and wealth where the voice of
these two powerful agents is most po-
tent-have presented almost a solid
lroht on the side of plutocracy. No
doubt the press has largely been cor
rupted, but environment has had
more to do with both press and pulpit
than anything else, while the conserva-
tism OF the latter has played the part
which corruption has played with the
former.
Be the causes what they may the
fact was patent. But even these bull
warks Of the opposition have begun to
give way under the unprecedented Or
atory of Democracy's champion be-
meath the very walls of the enemy's
stronghold. Friend and foe alike
have been compelled to admit that no
such popular upheaval has occurred
since the civil war. In other words,
We are beholding the literal fulfill
ment of Vance's prophecy made but
three years ago and almost with his
dying breath:
"The minds of the people are
s,irred," said the gteat Tribune of the
People, Gas they have not been before
since the civil war;" and even those
whose secure possessions and placid en-
joyment of them have taught them
to despise the plain people are at last
realizing that "in this fair land the
,hunderbolts of Jove dwell still with
those whose voice is as the voice OF
God"
With the genius of leadership, which
is pre-eminently his, Mr.. Bryan recog-
nizes the importance of forcing the all
powerful press of the great cities to ad-
vertse the peoples temper, and hence
his persistent "waste Of time" as the
wise ones pronounced it, Gin the enc
my's country" The result has proved
his superior judgment, and from now
on, it is apparelt, we shall have the
enemy on the defensive.-Fayetteville

BALTIMORE STIRRED.
The Merchants There Concerned About
the SeabOard Deal.


The sale of the controlling interest
in the common stock of the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Company,
which is the parent corporation of the
Seaboard Air Line system, including
the Baltimore Steam Packet Company,
to New York syndicate, headed by
Mr.. Thos. F. Ryan, has stirred up
local shippers owing to belief that the
property has been purchased in the in
terest Of the Southern Railway Com
pany.
l, is doubtful if the Two systems
could be consolidated, owing To the
laws upon the subject in several Of the
States traversed by them. The Sea
board, however, could be operated in
dependently of the Southern system,
as are the Central of Georgia and the
Georgia Southern and Florida, whose
policies are shaped by the Southern.
The recent rate war between the
Southern Railway Company and the
Seaboard Air Line system is case in
point, as showing what the Southern
could do with its competitor out Of the
way. The former confined its reduced
rates to points in competition with the
Seaboard, while the latter made a gen.
eral reduction n its tariff, giving in
termediate points the same benefits as
the through points. As far as known,
the Southern Railway Company has
not attempted to divert traffic from
this city, but this may have been due
to the rl.alry Of KS competltors.-Bal-

The clause of the Republican plat

Either the single gold standard is the
best for our country or it is not. If
the best, why ask the consent Of Eng

Silver Sentiment Growing anu he
Has No Doubt of His Election.
William ]. Bryan, while at Cincin-
natl, Ohio, gave out the following
signed statement concerning the cleo
ton:
81 have no doubt OF my election.
l base my confidence upon the fact
tina, the free coinage sentiment is grow
ing every day. The people are study
ing the money question, and the study
of it is convincing the people generally
that there can he no permanent pros
peri,y so long as the gold standard is
maintained.
1.-The gold standard makes dearer
dollar A d-arer dollar means falling
prices, and falling prices means hard
times. The people who profit by hard
times are relatively 20 few in number
that they would amount to nothing at
all but forsne fact that they are aided
by a considerable number of people
who, not having studied the money
question themselves, have received in
struc,ions from few financiers. The
number of Republicans who have de-
clared for free silver outnumbers The
Democrats who have deserted the tick
ct, and while the number of silver Re-
pnblIcans is increasing all the time, the
number of boiling Democrats is all
the time decreasing. ...-

EXPREsIDENT HARRISON said at
Charleston, West Va, Tuesday, that
the "factories must be started to re-
store prosperity" This is much like
saying you must have a cough before
you can take cold. TO start a thous-
and factories would not mean prosper
ity unless they were opened to supply
demand for the article they manu-
featured. There will not be an in
creased demand for manufactures I'M
less people have money to buy with;
and the producers who are largest buy
ers of the product of the factories will
not have the money to buy with until
the price of the raw material advances.
A material addition to the money of
the country means an advance in
prices; dear money means lower prices.

The pleasant shower of last night had
no other effect in camp than to settle the
walks and cool off the atmosphere. The
campers showed their enjoyment of wor-
ship by a full attendance at the $50 a.
am meeting.
Breakfast was served at Z o'clock and
at 8 o'clock the congregation was again
gathered for worship. The entire camp
was divided into four divisions and
meetings were held with each, separate
ly. Prayer and praise occupied the time
for one hour.
At a. M, the Dakota Sabbath School
association held it's first session. The
secretary, Miss Lena Frederickson OF
Hurley, read the report of the years
work. After a few remarks by the pres
ident, Mrs. Flora Plummer of Des
Moines, president Of the Iowa associa-
ton, made some pithy and interesting
remarks on the Importance of a thor
ough study Of the lessons. The follow
Ing committees were appointed:
Nominations-Judge Miller of Alex
andria, Ola Shager Of Parker and Peter
Lawrence of Swan Lake.
Resolutions-Chas. Burman Of Mil
bank, Dr.. Excel OF Alexandria and Mrs.
Plummer of Des Moines, Iowa.
This is one Of the many associations
which go to make up the International
Sabbath School association, having its
central Office in Oakland, Cal. Its cor
responding secretary, Mrs. Vesta J..
Farnsworth, is at present located at
Lincoln, Neb., but is soon to remove to
Australia. For a number of years past
the entire donations, above running ex.
penses, amounting to thousands Of dol
lars annually, have been devoted to
opening missions in various parts OF the
world. Several years ago the associa-
ton assumed the responsibility OF build
ing a missionary ship to cruise among
the islands of the Pacific. The vessel
was o built and paid for and is known
as the Pitcairn, named il honor of the
famous island Of that name, whose in.
habitants have accepted the bible views
entertained by the Adventlsts. At
present the funds of the association are
going toward establishing religion
among the colored people in the southern
states.
The world, with reference to the work
Of this denomination, is divided into
eight districts with q superintendent
over each. The states of Iowa, Nebras.
ko, the two Dakotas, Minnesota, Wis
consin and the provinces of Manitoba
compose district number four. Ed. J.

above-named district. occupied the pull

wicked but rather to lift up and save.
At 2:30 p. m., the congregation were
again assembled and listening with rapt
attention to DR.. Psulson as lie discoursed
upon his fayorite theme, the sacredness
of the body and proper treatment of the
same.
At 4 o'clock, the conference convened
for business. Additional churches we've
