COMB AGAIN.
@. G.. FOwLKEs.

Last week we published the names
of two Populists ~ who, according
to the Concord Times, had wept
great big tears of repentance and re
turned to the Democratic fold" In
the eyes of some people this would be
a great accom- plishment- Indeed we
are never surprised to hear that a man
here and there has changed his politi
cal affiliations. even going to a worse
party than he formerly belonged to.
But when the Democratic press gets to
telling fsh yarns about such things we
like to call them down and note their
silence. However, the Times thought
it could create an administration sen
sation and named Messrs. Chas. Nc
Donald and J. P. Hornbuckle, Of that
town But there seems to be a mis-
take. The Concord Vestibule, pub
lished since, says Mr.. Mcdonald never
has been a Populist, has always been a
Democrat Mr.. HOrnbuckle is a Pro
hibitionist and sorter mixes up with
all the parties and drinks colo water
straight.
So, if the Vestibule has made no mis-
take, the Times will have to hunt up
material for another yarn. This is the
second abortive attempt that has been
made right in Cabarrus.
We see other papers saying the Pop
ulists r coming to the Dems in
f3cks." We demand names and dates;
no monkey business" now.

THEY MEET C~HAPERoNRs.

The goldbug papers have lied until
they have grown careless about it, and
frequently fail to make proper con-
nections.
Recently Mr.. Samuel T. Brown, of
Nazareth, Pa, put the following ques
ton to the Philadelphia Times:
why are all the millionaires, Wall
street gamblers, railroad wreckers and
possessors of inherited wealth the most
determined uphoIders of the gold stand
ard2"
The answer given by the Times is as
follows:
mo class would profit more by free
silver than the millionaires. The maior
portion of their property would be
nominally doubled in value, and they
would reap a rich harvest with their
ready millions from the bankruptcy
that would inevitably fall upon an
overwhelming number of those less ia
vored by fortune. Wall street gamb
lers would have everything to gain by
the uusettling Of values that would at
tend the adoption of free silver. ANY
thing that disturbs the tranquility of
commerce aud trade is grist to the mill
OF the stock gambler"
The Times makes the fatal mistake
of admitting what it has heretofore de,
MED, lie, that the value of property
would be nominally doubled if silver
was remonetized. Then it declares
that Wall street gamblers would have
everything to gain by the adoption of
free coinage. Any man with a grain
Of sense knows that if the Wall street
gamblers had every thing to gain, as
one of their leading organs claims, thew
would be the widest and most persist
ent advocates in the country to-day, 1t
would be ''agin' natur" for them to do
otherwise. No claim can be more alb
surd than the one that Wall street is
actuated alone by patriotism and a de-
sire to help their fellow man. The sill,
verites make no such claims. Thev
state that I'VE all expect to be bene
fitted" hence they are not opan to the
charge of trying to display false pa.
triotism. The gold standard papers
should not be allowed to go out alone
anywhere. They are foolish and in
discreet.

thing out on the banks of the Neuse

B.-"Everything is purity damp. 1t
he bin rainin' rite erlong fer several
days. I've jist got back trum town

R.-'Well, I suppose yon are well
~pleased2"
Bot course lam. Mr.. Josephus
Daniels lows it's awl rite, an what
he says goes with me-"
R-"He said 1t was all right when
Cleveland was nominated, and that
all we had to do was to wait for pros
perity. Then when goldbug Hoke
Smith was put in the Cabinet, Mr..
Daniels u up another rooster and
was so we'll pleased, crowed so loud
that Hoke made him his chief clerk,
and during all the time that Cleveland
and his extra session of Congress were
demonetizing silver Mr.. D .niels never
found fault with the proceedings until
he came home to ''save the State" and
found that the party had walked out
of ITSELF just as Vance said it would
do, and then Mr.. Daniels began to
cry, Stop! thief, in a cracked voice.
just loud enough not to be heard by
the thief. However, I thought you
gold Democrats would fDd fault with
platform and nominee"
Bon! you are always thinking
some foolishness. We don't care any
thing erbout the nominee an plat
form,so they wear the Dymakratt band.
They'll find sum tecknikality ter keep
frum remonetizin' silver an ruinin' the
kuntry. Fer a long time we blamed it
on the Republicans, but when we got
them beat so bad an had the President
an both Houses ov Congress, WI sed
we couldn't do it without the consent
ov other nashuns. That got us out ov
it nicely"
R.-"But your new platform says,
we demand it without the aid or con
sent of other nations"
B.-"Onl that il awl rite. Well
wurk things so the Republicans will
hev a majority in the House, even If
we elect the President an that will git
US out ov the hole. Besides, this il the
Republican year; l~eastways, things
hev bin changin' every four years, an
we don't kelktriat ter git in nohow, sc
our promises air nothin' but a big joke
anyhow. Gudebye!"

Wanted In North CnroIiun.

Deputy Sheriff Siverson received a let
ter yesterday from Mr.. John Clum. Post
office Inspector i'll Washington, stating
that h negro John Pender and his
brother, William, are both wanted In
North Carolina for robbing several post
offices. John is in jail for robbing the
Port Norfolk postotiice, but William is
still at large. The Inspector requests
that John be held until he reaches Ports
mouth, which will be done. as he has
not yet had n hearing. The same two
men robbed an office in North Caro-
lima a few days before they robbed the
Port Norfolk office,
