The question of sound money is
as old in this country as the gov
eminent itself, and what possible
harm could there be in Mckinley
declaring in favor of that which
the government has ever main
tanned, and which he must main
tain if elected President!
McKinley's position is made
apparently doubtful by his cow
ardly straddle of the issue in the
Ohio convention, by his continued
silence on the subject when called
upon to speak, and by the enthu-
siastic support he has received
from every free silver State. His
united support by the free silver
ties is a proclamation to the world
that of all the candidates named,
he is regarded as most likely to
aid in forcing free silver into more
general use as money, and that is
the gravest of all the perils to the
government to-day.

Careless bicycle riding is max
ing a big record of accidents. In
the recent past, a young woman
in Lexington, KY, ran into a
street car and was killed; two boys
in Chicago collided with a pair of
horses in a carriage and were
trampled to death by them; a wo-
man in Louisville got ''mixed up''
with a wagon and was horribly
mangled and fatally hurt. These
are instances where the bicyclists
were the victims; ssbut there are
others A pedestrian in Wash
ington City was struck by ga
racer bicycle" violently knocked
down and almost instantly killed.
A horse attached to a buggy, in a
small Tennessee town, was fright
ened by a bicycle, and in the con-
sequent runaway, a young man
lost his life. The majority OF
horses are afraid of bicycles. They
go SO noiselessly and swiftly.
Bicycle riders should give as much
room as possible to horses, both
for their own safety and that OF
the occupants of vehicles.

WHOM THE FREE s1LyER1rEs WANT
Philadelphia Times.

In the olden ii ne when partisan
bitterness between Democrats
and Federalists was much more
intense than the partisan pre-
JUDGES CT to-day, a venerable
Federalist Connecticut parson,
who always mingled politics with
his sermons, closed his sermon
by an explanation as follows;
Friends, I have been misunder-
stood as saying that all Demo
Gratis are horse-thieves. What l
did say was that all horse-thieves
are Democrats" and as the con-
gregation was in sympathy with
the parson, the explanation was
satisfactory.
II would be unfair to say that
all the supporters OF Mckinley
for the Presidency are free silver
freaks, but it is entirely truthful
to say that all free silver freaks
within the Republican party or
hanging about its edges. are fav>
orable to McKinley's nomination.
Why they are so is not left to
surmlse or doubt. They prefer
Mckinley because they believe
that he Of all the prominent cam
didates, is most friendly to the
free silver theory and the degra
dation of our currency to the
standard of the Pagan.
We do not believe that Me-
Kinley would favor the free sill
yer heresy if elected President,
but our faith is rather in his par
ty than in himself. He is admits
tedly honest, but be is not cour-
ageous; and the only hope of
maintaining national credit dur>
ing his administration, if elected
President, would be in the abso-
Lutte fidelity of the party to a
sound financial policy. We have
reason to believe that the party
will maintain such a policy, and
for that reason. and that alone, |
there may be faith in McKiniey's
fidelity to honest money.
But the country needs much
more than the election of a Pres
ident who is likely, or even reas-
onably certain, to maintain with
scrupulous fidelity public and
private credit. There must be
faith in the man who is chosen
President that he will establish
credit both at home and abroad,
and that is why the nomination
of Mckinley, without a distinct
deliverance on the subject, would
be accepted with more or less
distrust in sensitive financial cir
Giles.

THAT WONDER
Full REMEDY !!

RANDLEMAN, N. c.,
Feb. 6, 1896.
Rev. A. l.. Mendenhan SAYS:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-ltgives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When I decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
It had baffled the skill of
many eminent physicians,
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. / could
wear no other than low
quartefed Shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain. This
was in 1884 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., and soon
after taking the Remedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
well ever since.
Very respectfully,
REV. A. L MENDENHALL.

ANOTHER GULF PORT.

Sabine bay is being so dredged and improved as to become a good harbor with depth of water at the new port known as Port Arthur, of 23 or 24 feet The Kansas City people are enthusiastic vver the building of an air line due south to Port Arthur.
 The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad is finished to the Arkansas river 33O miles, and ten of the eleven concrete piers of the bridge therefor stand com plete. Monroe & Lea, grading contract ors, are pushing south twenty-five miles below the river. North of Texarkana fifty miles of track are laid to Horatio There are thus sxty-eight miles of track to be laid between Fort Smith and Tex arkana to finish the road to Texarkana distance of AIS miles from Kansas City, South of Texarkana fifty miles of track are down to Caddo lake. Across Caddo lake H. c. Lindsley is building a wooden trestle $500 feet long to Morringsport. It is nearly finished. Fifteen miles on south is Cross lake, which is being spanned by a trestle $500 feet long, also nearly finish ed. There are thus less than twenty miles of track to lay of the seventy-two miles between Texarkana and Shreve- port. From Shreveport to Port Arthur south, fifty miles of grading is being done by Bernard Corrigan of Kansas City, and twenty-five miles more was just let Grading is being done as far as forty miles north of Port Arthur, leaving 12O miles of grading to be done between Shreveport and Port Arthur. Of the to- tai 767 miles from Kansas City to the gulf, All miles are finished. Of the 296 miles unfinished, 115 are staked out and graded.
 It is thought that this road will be fin ished by September 1. The distances from Kansas City to the various sea ports are as follows:
 New York, 1903 miles distant from Kan sas City.
 Newport News 1908 miles.
 Savannah 116S miles.
 New Orleans, SIS miles.
 Port Arthur, 767 miles.
 The Kansas City Star says:
 Tt is not the water haul that costs, 1t Is the railway haul.
