William David Walker of North

Bishop William David Walker Of North
Dakota was elected bishop of the Episcopal
diocese of western New York Wednesday at
the diocesan council at Buffalo, N Y. Bal
loting began Wednesday morning, but
final result was not reached until evening.
The Introduction of much extraneous busi-
ress Wednesday and much superfiuous dis
cussion consumed time.
After the first ballot taken in the
morning, in which Bishop Walker led
with 35 votes of the clergy and 81 OF
the laity, Rev. DR.. Robbins OF Albany was
withdrawn, and DR.. Langford of New York
DR.. Stone of Chicago and DIR. Lindsey OF
Boston were left in the order named An
adjournment to the afternoon was taken,
when the second, third and fourth ballots
were taken. DIR. Walker led in each and
was gaining. Much time was lost in pro-
longed argument.
In the fourth ballot a majority Of the
laity's vote had now been cast for Bishop
Walker. bat the requisite majority Of the
clergy's vote was lacking. The nth ballot
showed gain for Bishop Walker, and one
more vote by the clergy would have suf-
feed, as So clerical votes had been cast.
The majority Of the laity was again. with
him. Right here Judge Smith of Buffalo
suggested that as the laity had twice de-
clared their choice they be excused from
voting, when the clergy could arrive at a
conclusion. This was overruled and a sixth
ballot received:

whosoever is a man carries within himself
his essential greatness, and in the rectitude
of his motives and inShe approbati ton of his
own conscience has all that makes one
great before God or men.
'.Such man is he whose official residence
in this city has been terminated. and it is
fitting and proper that upon this occasion
should meet together and express our
sorrow at his departure and our deep sense
of appreciation of his work. With this

Before you can have the great Christian
you must have the great man, for the su-
pernatural supposes the natural, grace sup
poses nature. as revelation supposes rea-
son. The supernatural does not destroy, but
perfectS the natural Grace strengthens
rature and revelation enlarges reason. And
If Bishop keane Is a great educator. a
great philanthropist, great thinker and a
great Christian, 1t is because God gifted
him with a great natural character ami
made him, first Of ALL man. This is the
foundation of all, and when this takes place
the greatness of man reaches its highest
power and the great man becomes the great
Christian. Bishop keane is a great man i'm
this highest sense being great Christian.

THE LAW DOES MAKE MONEY.

There is no getting around it. Law
makes money just as certain as it
makes anything else, the goldbugs to
the contrary, Notwithstanding. II not,
why not9 Fiat money is an illusion.
If the law says that a piece of paper
worth less than one sixteenth of a cent
is a $50 bill, it is so. Same is true if it
says 60 cents worth of silver is a dollar.
No well informed person will pirate
about fiat money. No such a thing as
deprecated money unless it is made 30
by hostile legislation. IL the law says
a man must suffer death for taking the
life of a fellow being, he isa dead duck.
The law is supreme, be it good or bad,
just or unjust. The English goldbugs
declare our silver dollars are only
worth 60 cents, yet they take $500, 600,
900 worth of our bonds at a premium
and the paper they were printed on is
not worth 5000. Liars, thieves and
scoundrels they are, and only fools be
lieve in such trash
We venture to say that the U. 8. Su-
preme Court, with all its brazen au
dacisy and cringing devotion to plu
tocracy, will not go so far as to declare
that law does not make money. A de-
cision rendered some time ago is entire
ly opposite. Read it:
Whatever power there is over the
currency is vested in Congress. If the
power to declare what is money is not
Congress it is annihilated ."-Supreme
Court Reports 18th Wallace, Page 545.
President Lincoln found out that law
could create money, though ever he
seemed to hesitate. On page 55, Words
Of Lincoln" is found the following in
his own language:
You (Taylor) came, and I Gincoln)
said to you, What shall we doF Said
J GU, Why, issue treasury notes bear

off the army expenses, and declare it
legal tender Chase thought it a haz
ardous thing, but we finally accomp-
lished it and gave to the people of this
Republic the greatest blessing they
ever had-their own money to pay
their own debts"

CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS AND
MISDOINGS.

The House recently put in three days
discussing resolutions ~censuring ex-
Secretary of State, Thos. F. Bayard,
now Ambassador to England. The
resolutions passed.
After all, it looks like Congress will
not complete the recognition of Cuba.
We suppose Mr.. Rothschild has inter-
ftrred.
Congress seems quite friendly to the
A. P. A. american Protective Associa-
tion.) That concern has votes, you
know.
What do you think of this2 The
country going to the devil, business
houses crashing, and Congress has put
in two straight weeks discussing Cuba.
If any thing can be more Jackassical,
Shermanassical or Groverassical, trot
it out.
Senator Hills bill to remove the re-
strictions against the appointment, as
officers of the army Or navy, of persons
who held commissions in the regular
army or navy before the rebellion and
who subsequently took part in the war
on the side of the Confederacy, which
passed the Senate during the height of
the excitement over the Venezuela
boundary question, passed the House
last Tuesday. Only one man voted
against it, Nh. Boutele, of Maine. Of
course this is a very good thing, but it
doesn't settle the financial question.
Senator Platt has introduced a reso,
luton to the effect that Congress ad-
journ on the End of May. Make it April
2nd, Mr.. Platt, and the whole country
will pass it by a rising vote.
The naval appropriation bill carry
ing some $35, 900, 900 for additional war
ships, has passed the House. That
means a large amount of sound money
for a lot of pleasure Warships, filed
with naval dudes who can't fight a
school of catfish.
The Sundry Civil bill was the center
of attraction Friday and Saturday in
Washington. 1t appropriates money
for everything, drinks, fishing and
duck hunting. We move that it be
amended so as to include a million
copies of ''Sweet Marie" for the use of
the Spanish troops. If they can't fight,
probably they can sing.

able to learn that a o of Marshal
Ney called upon Peter Stuart Ney about
seventeen years after the latter's ar
rival here, but whether this son went
back to France or remained here was
not discovered until a few days ago,
when Mr.. Weston found the missing
son, who is a respected and venerable
physician. DR.. Weston writes:
st found the old gentleman, " writes
Mr.. Weston, now lightweight years
of age, living in a small Kentucky town
not far from Louisville, KY. When he
learned my errand he evinced no hesl-
tation in admitting his identity. He
said that he came to this country n
1887 and paid a visit to his father in
exile. His father gave him 81, 1000, and
he entered the Jefferson Medical Col
lege, in Philadelphia, from which in
~stitution he was graduated IN due
course with the degree OF M, D. Dur
ing his whole life in the United States,
however, he has lived under an as
sumed name. He had read the book
relative to the identity Of mis- father
and Peter Stuart Ney, and admitted
the correctness of the facts. He said
that on the evening after the supposed
execution his father visited the house
of his mother in Paris and remained a
few minutes. The man was not willing
to speak without reserve about many
matters, but he has written a history
of his father, which he has placed in
my hands, to be published after his
death. The old gentleman fought in
the Mexican war, and is now involved
in some international compile alton be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Mr.. Weston says the mans identity
will not be disclosed until after his
death.

GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN.

That is what Chauncey Depew says
after q trip to this land of unlimited
resources. 1.-THE net result of this visit
to the South, to my mind, is just this
that the South is the Bonanza of the
future. We have developed all the
great and sudden opportunities for
wealth-or most of them-in the North
western States and on the Pacific
Slope, but there is a vast country with
the best climate in the world, with con-
ditions of health which are absolutely
unparalleled with vast forests I'M
touched, with enormous veins Of coal
and iron which have yet not known
anything beyond their original con
ditions, with soil that, under proper
cultivation, for little capital "a sup
port a tremendous population; with
conditions in the atmosphere for com
Portable living winter and summer,
which exist nowhere else in the III
try; and that it is to be the attraction
for the young who go out from the
farms to settlement and not by immi-
grafton from abroad, for I do not think
they will go that way, but by the in
ternal immigration from our own Dur
try it is to become in time as prosper
GUS as any other section of the country,
and as prosperous by purely American
development.

He WAS MARSHAL NEY

The writer has always believed that
the old Rowan county school teacher
who bore such a striking resemblance
to Marshal Ney, and whose remains
r in the graveyard at Third Greek
Church, was genuine, that Ney was not
shot in France. Rev. James a. Wes-
ton has devoted much time to the collec-
ton of proof of the identity of the great
Marshal, and the following from the
New York Times furnishes another
strong link in the chain:
The Rev. James A. Weston, rector
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the Ascension, at Hickory, N. c., who
lately wrote a carefully prepared work
on Historic Doubts as to the Execu-
ton of Marshal Ney," has informed his
publisher, Thomas Whitaker of this
city, that the theory that Ney was not
killed on the day he is supposed to have
been shot in France, on December 9Th,
1915, has been still further confirmed
by recent researches.
According to Mr.. Weston's book,
Peter Stuart Ney, who taught school
in North and South Carolina and died
on Nov. Is, 1916, was Marshal Ney.
After diligent search, Mr. Weston was

= SOME FINE H-oRsRMANsHIP.

The Statesville Landmark comments
on the meeting of the central Demo,
cratic committee thusly:
1.-THE news which comes of the meet
ing Of the Democratic central commit.
tee at Raleigh last week ia that it was
governed by a spirit of conservatism
and a desire to harmonic the differ,
ent elements of the party. As stap5d
elsewhere a majority of it's members
were found to be sound money men,
but the financial question had less con.
slderation than the weightier matters
OF tusing and boiling. With one, pos
slbly two exceptions, no member Of the
committee entertained any idea OF
doing either, nor entertained any idea
that the party will do either. Upon
these points the free silver men, with
the one or two exceptions noted, rang
clear as the sound money men, and it
is satisfying to learn that there was an
absence of any spirit of prescription
The prevailing sentiment was that we
must ell abide in the ship and get in as
many others as possible instead OF
throwing any of the present crew or
passengers overheard"
Judging from the above there will
be plenty of fun this year. The
worlds greatest bareback riders"
who always accompany each circus
never claim any such feats as the Land
mark outlines. Just think of it! With
out paying a cent you will see big Dem
ocrats riding two horses going in op'
posite directions, and it will not costs
cent. The show is absolutely free.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We have a communication from

20. c." If the writer will send his full
NAME, the letter will be published.
Send in your stock for the Alliance
shoe factory. 1t must be running in

will be if each brother will do what he
can.
The Populists declare that the finan-
cial question is the great issue. But
our Democratic friends are content to
rock along with Harmony" inscribed
on their banner.
We want to state officially that the
fools who believe the goldbug yarn
about making money plentiful by stop
ping the making of it altogether, are
not all dead yet.
We see no signs Of Democratic Popu,
list fusion in North Carolina, nor in
any county in the State. The report
that it has been effected is probably the
same old campaign lie in another form.
Failures for the past week foot up
259 against 234 for the same week last
year. Liabilities much heavier, show
ing that large concerns are going under.

Wake County Alliance will meet

in April. The brethren of this Alliance
will furnish a dinner for the delegates.
Let's have a full attendance.
1t seems a little range that people
build a handsome church, dedicate it
to the service of the Lord, and then
spend $500 putting up a lightning rod
to keep the Lord from destroying his
own property before the summer is
over.
Get ready for the County Alliance
meetings, most of which will be held
on the second Thursday in April. Stir
up your Sub Alliances and select good
delegates. Can't have good county
meetings if you dent have good Sub
Alliance meetings.
If certain Democratic newspapers
who are so greatly concerned about
the National Alliance dropping one of
its planks, the sub treasury idea, will
explain why the Democratic party has
abandoned eUery principle it I'VE had
the public will feel relieved.
Bro. J. T. B. Hoover sends in a nice
club, for which we thank him and
writes: 81 have just finished up a trip
through Robson county. Have reor-
ganized several Alliances, and hope
much good to the Order will be the re-
suit" Bro. Hoover knows how to stir
the boys, and we trust he may be kept
at it.
No wonder Spain can't conquer Cuba.
Two detachments of Spanish soldiers
mistook each other for Insurgents the

the mistake seventeen soldiers were

safe to multiply the Spanish kilograms
by ten, so probably 40 were killed and
some eight hundred wounded.
