Bill Gibbs, Sandy and four other
strong men held the oars, and as tne
six blades dropped into the seethhg
brine, and they swayed back with their
long, regular strokes, the boat shot ior-
ward as though propelled by more than
bone and sinew, her sharp prov cutting
the water and causing the spray to fall
back into the faces of the buccaneers
On the salt marsh but few hun
dred Yards from the court house, they
pulled the boat ashore.
"Now, men," said the captain. -four
Of you will come with me-Giobs,
Sandy, Watson and Bullion-Staggs
and the Croaker will remain with the
boat-if anyone approaches, pull of,
but If not, lie low; there's no one STIR
ring now. We will do one good deed
and after that amend the laws delay,
and mete out justice to wretch who
else may battle it for all time to come,
and then, my lads, we turn our back
upon this coast forever. True, men on
whose lives the law has heavy claims
should not be the ones to prate OF the
misdeeds of others, or amending the
laws delay In netting out Justice, while
In our own cases we are in no great
haste for it. But there are crimes for
which l would hang member Of my
crew at the yard arm, and for such o
crime one man dies ere Black Beard
leaves this coast Come!"
The five men proceeded through the
town, while the sleeping townsmen
little dreamed that Black Beard was
walking past their doors. At the gate
of the cottage of Margaret Bruce they
halted. A moment more and the cap
tain had adjusted long black beard.
"Now, Bill, the box"
A small box was handed him, and from
the way he handled 1t, it must have
been quite heavy.
"Y won't keep you long, men," and
o q moment more he had knocked on the
floor.
Presently voice asked: "Who wakes
Nargot Bruce at this hoor of the
nicht?'
Zone, dame, that you must see, now
,r never, on matters of Importance to
I'll who are of the family Of Angus
Bruce"
angus Bruce! my ain August"
The door opened, and Black Beard
passed within. It closed, and for good
ong hour did he remain there, and when
at length the door opened, and he
walked out, there were tears In his eyes,
and his voice quavered as he said:
"Good-by, now, and good-by forever;
don't forget"
Black Beard joined his men, and they
FASTENED away. The little wooden box
had been left in the cottage.
When the gate had been close hen
II was that the widow sank upon her
knees.
ANGUS! Angus! my ain, ain son!"
Then she started to her feet, grasped
shawl, threw It over her head and
started to the door, but suddenly halt
I'd, pressed both hands to her head and
exclaimed:
II can no doot! My God, can ma
doot," and fell to the floor unconscious,
where we will leave her and return to
Black Beard and his men.
They speedily rejoined those who
had been left at the boat, and ere dawn
Of day were quietly sleeping In their
safe retreat

II the next Democratic National Con-
vention should nominate . gold standard
man on . platform to suit the candidate,
such 9 nomination and platform would
probably suit the Democrats OF the Mid
die aud New Englsnd States, not one OF
which the Democrats can hope to carry
next year under the most favorable cir.
cumssances. The Western and Southern
States, upon which the Democrats
rely entirely. would be weakened
and demoralized by such q ticket and
platform and q number Of them like Ken
lucky would be carried into the Repub-
lican column, making the success Of that
party certain. II on the contrary, q sill
YER platform and candidate are adopted,
they will carry the solid South, all or
nearly all Of the States west Of the Mis-
souri, river, with a fighting chance for
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin. 1t is hard to believe that
the convention, in view of these indis-
putable facts, will adopt a platform and
name a candidate to suit those States OF
the Union which cannot guarantee one
single electoral vote for the ticket, even
il they were allowed to nam the csndi-
date and make the platform to suit them.

We hope no pretended silver man will
vote against q free coinage amendment on
the tariff bill. The gold standard and
protective tariff cannot stand together.
II the products Of the farms and mines
Of the United States must be sold in Eu.
ropean markets at gold prices, the pro.
duoers Of such commodities cannot buy
10 the United States at protected prices.
The man from the West who unites to
give the East . tariff when they will not
unite with him to give the country the
money Of the Constitution is q traitor to
his section, . traitor to silver and should
be marked TO stay at home in the next
election. We repeat, the man who will
give the manufacturers Of the East high
protection and will not demand that the
South and West shall be protected from
Asiatic competition by the equalization
Of exchange is false to his constituents
and false to his country and should be
dealt with as an enemy of the people,

OLNEY's

The Washington Post of Monday con-
tains the following: 1--WE think it a
mistake to ask for British intervention
on behalf OF those American citizens who
are now prisoners in the hands Of the
Trapsvaal authorities. The Americans
in question are held by President kru-
ger for an alleged offense against the
peace and safety of the Transvsal, and it
is to him that the State Department
should have applied. Great Britain, as
We know, while acknowledging the inde-
pendence of the republic, claims a sort Of
control over its foreign relations, but
then, as we know, Great Britain claims
everything when the victim Of her pre-
tensions happens to be remote and fee.
BILE. Certainly there is no occasion why
the United States should have recog-
nized these pretensions, especially since
there could be no effectual way Of imper.
ling the prisoners, as to whose well-be-
ing we are supposed to be anxious.
mo intelligent observer Of the episode
of which the Jameson invasion was the
elimination harbors the very least doubt
that the conspiracy was of long and care
full preparation; that it had the entire
sympathy of the British authorities in
South Africa, and was fully known to
and understood by the members of the
Government at London. To what good
end, therefore, could be an appeal to
England in the matter of our imprisoned
citizens, il, indeed, we had in view their
welfarei 1t seems to us that unless we
wished merely to make an affectionate
and defferentisl overture to Great Brit
ain, the appeal in question should have
been made directly to President Kruger.
To US the measure bears every appearance
of a ~blunder."

THE GREAT SILVER MEETING,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-About a hun
bred silver men were present at to-dsy's
silver conference held under the aupices
of the American Bimetallic League.
General A. J. Warner, in calling the con.
ference to order, said that the time had
some for action. There was no hope of
winning the 6ght in d~etachments inside
Of organizations controlled by the gold
standard men. "Gold," he said, twas
written on the walls OF the inner tenn
Piles Of both the old parties, and IL could
be oblitsrated only by tearing down the
walls. This conference was to deliber.
ate upon the present situation Of the
country and decide upon the policy to be
pursued by the friends Of bimetallism.'
II was expected that an agreement
would be reached upon the time and
place Of the National Convention to nom
mate candidates for President and Vice
President Of the United States.
Wharton, . resident of Philadelphia.
spoke Of the competition which the man.
ufactursrs Of this country were begin.
ming to feel from the manufacturers OF
China and Japan.
Senator Stewart delivered an animated
address on the situation. The Commit
tee on Resolutions was authorized to be
appointed by the Chairman and another
to arrange for the National Convention.

A Chicago Posts Washington special
says: Disappointment awaits the people
Of New Mexico and Arizona. They have
been knocking for admission into the
Union for many years. but the decree has
gone forth that their prayer will be left
unanswered another two years. For this
they can thank Speaker Reed and his
gang for the dose of disappointment
brewed for their consumption. The K
PLANTATION offered is that it is deemed Of
highest importance to check any further
growth Of the silver strength in the Sem
ate. and the best way to do that is to
prevent any increase in the representa-
ton from the mountain region. There
fore the House Committee on Territories
will not report bills for the admission Of
the Territories named until too late for
action by this Congress.

Senator Sherman 10 his late public
speeches has declared himself as being
opposed TO the retirement Of the green
backs. The National Bimetallist. COM
menting thereon, expressed the belief
that he made the declaration merely as
. matter Of policy. and that he could
be safely counted on the side Of the
money power all the time. His resolu-
tion looking to the preservation Of the
gold reserve and providing that when
greenbacks are redeemed. they shall only
be reissued for GOLD, fully confirms that
belief.
The resolution is simply an attempt to
do by stealth what be does not dare to
do openly. To say that the greenbacks
shall only be reissued for FOLD is equiva
lent to saying that they shall not be re-
issued at all. Under existing conditions
nobody would give gold for them.
The men who control practically the
entire mass Of gold in the country, are
the very ones who are vociferously de-
manding the retirement Of the green
backs. The idea that these men would
exchange gold for greenbacks is absurd.
Mr.. Sherman and the whole Republic
can party had better heed the sharp word
of warning that comes from the Chicago
Inter-O Ocean. In its issue Of Jan. 2 that
paper says:
"Does John Sherman really think the
country would tamely submit to such .
radical monetary revolution? The hook
is bated with q merited attack on the
Democratic revenue law, but its barb is
none the less plainly visible. The Amer.
lean people have had enough ~demonetiz-
alton on the sly"
characterization on the sly" Is not
that pretty sharp? But it is absolutely
true nevertheless. The resolution not
only means the permanent retirement Of
the ~greenbacks. but it the gold
standard pure and simple. 1t is o distinct
recognition Of that standard, and in
effect . declaration that it must be main.
tanned.
No you don't, Johnl A resolution OF
that kind might have been sneaked
through Congress in 1873, but the people
have their eyes open now and they are
focused right on you.

Chicago gets the Democratic Conven-

hope for the sake Of the unterrifed that
Chicago weather will be on its good be-
havior. There have been days in July,

We are not now suffering so much
from the want Of money in existence ss
from tho fact that the money in the
country does not circulate. 1t is hoard.
ed in the banks aud will not circulate.
And there is no physical force in exist
ence that can make IL circulate. WHY'S
thisf
IL is because the population and the
needs Of the people for money are in
creasiDg and the volume Of money is not.
This condition Of things causes falling
prices, and money will not circulate
freely during o time Of falling prices.
The men owning money place il in the
banks or otherwise hoard il. waiting for
prices to touch bottom. No man will in
vest or pay out his money during q time
OF general falling prices il he can help
il. Why should he build a house or buy
a farm, or in any way invest his money
il it will cost him less to do so q few
months later! He will not do IL.
SO our situation to-day is this: Money
is boarded and will not circulate because
general prices are tending downward,
and prices will not cease falling as long
as money is boarded. II is a game OF
freeze out. One condition perpetuates
the other. Neither will yield. And
without the assistance of some outside
agency there is no escape from general
bankruptcy and ultimate ruin. About
one dollar of money to twenty dollars Of
business is not far from the average nee.
essary to prevent bankruptcies. Less
than that approaches the danger line.
Hence the contraction Of one dollar OF
actual money kills or places at increased
hazard twenty dollars Of business .-Ex-
Congressman Davis in Chicago Express.

If Ignorance is bliss" it is folly to
waste time in reading newspapers, says
Jim Townsend. The man who never
reads may be as happy as the one who
does, but the latter will find nc pleasure
in the formers society, for the reason
that he finds it difficult to con6ne his
ideas within the narrow scope OF the
man who never reads q newspaper.
Such o man must feel like 3 lone
sinner at a camp meeting, and worse
il he never reads sven the local paper.
There is no literature for the people in
general like that Of the newspaper. II is
the companion alike Of the man who in
herits and the man who earns. Of the mil.
~lionaire in his splendid mansion in the
city and the miner in his isolated cabin In
the hills. II finds . welcome at the Ere
side Of every intelligent man who wants
to know how the world wags. The man
who don't read the newspapers is too ig-
norsnt to be fit for anything except .
juror or conductor Of a d~og-cart.
