De Young, Of California, says
that there will be no bolt of the
California party If the gold stand
ard is adopted at st. Louis. Mr..
De Young is mentioned for vice
president, Ia vice chairman OF the
national committee and a power
on the Pacific coast. He thinks
that Montana, Utah and Colorado
are the only states that will bolt in
case free silver is not adopted. One
good middle state would Offset the
vote OF all three in case bolt came
on that score. 1t Is evidently q
white and yellow fight.

There Is no sense in piling up
the expenses Of maintaining this
government in the manner In
which it is done. The machinery
of affairs is much too complicated,
the continued drain upon the
resources of the country impover.
ishing and the results of the whole
far from satisfactory. No private
business managed in the reckless
manner in which the public bust
ness, state and national, is trans.
acted could keep its head out of
water six months. 1t is no longer
a government of the people for the
people. 1t is a government Of the
monied classes in the interests Of
large corporations and the in
terests Of the people are too large
ly left to care for themselves.
Change is inevitable. What kind,
is another thing.

Platt has the hardihood of the
boss In every movement of his
anatomy, but the overwhelming
McKinleyism of the sentiment at
st. Louis staggers even him. The
redeeming thing about Platt is
that he does not know how great
an ass he is and therefore shows
his ears SO conspicuously as to de-
ceive no one.

SPLIT UP THE BACK.

From the National Liquor Dealer.
The national prohibition party
held it's national convention recent
ly in Philadelphia. They made as
much fuss as II they expected to
elect president. They quarrelled
over their platform one OF the
cranks wanted what they called a
abroad guage" platform, which de-
nounces the liquor traffic, declares
for equal suffrage, for the issue Of
money by the government in suf-
ficient volumn to meet the bust
ness demands, ravors free and un-
limited coinage OF silver and gold
at the ratio of l6 to l, without con-
sulting any other nation; asks for
government control of railways
and telegraphs; opposes the use OF
public funds for sectarian pur-
poses, and favors election OF presi-
dent and vice-president by direct
vote OF the people. In other words
this is the populist platform with
prohibition added.
The convention split In two, the
broad gauge CD fellows with their
old gals went out and made up q
presidential ticket Of their own.
One r. @. Bently is their presiden-
tial candidate.
Now, the crowd that they call
the marrow gauge" platform fel.
lows, and their old gals, confined
their platform to the prohibition
question and left the silver and
other outside politics to the Pops.
The narrow gaugers also have q
presidential ticket. So we have
the spectacle of the National prohi
bition party split up the back with
two presidential tickets in the
! field. a.......

Paul Gum Kruger is of the opin'

Paul Gum Kruger is OF the opin
ion that those who call for the
music should pay the piper. He
consents to the liberation Of the
heads OF the conspirators against
his republic, but they must pay
the neat sum of $125,0OO or be de-
ported from the country and stay
deported for fifteen years. These
men have vast monied interests at
johannesburg, and this sentence
hits them where they live. 1t must
not be forgotten in this connection
that the old Boer president has a
bill OF several millions against the
British government for the dam
ages and expenses Of that invas-
ion. That old-fashioned Christian
Dutchman evidently believes in
making friends of mammon. At
all events, he hits John Bull where
he lives.

San Angelo people pronounce
the work that Judge Noonan has
done for that section, in securing
a session of the Federal court regu-
larly at that place, the best work
done in congress for that place
and that section of west Texas
since Texas was represented In
in the halls Of congress. Probab-
ly this is because this is the first
time since reconstruction times
that a republican congressman
was sent to Washington to con-
slider the wants and interests of
that section and see that justice
was done 1t.

No man is large enough for the
vice presidential nomination who
could never wear a presidential
hat without subjecting himself to
the criticism that it was too large
for the head that wore it. Vice.
presidents are the legitimate heirs
apparent to the presidential chair,
and should be chosen with posi-
tive eye to the possibilities Of
the succession. There is timber
enough at st. Louis to choose from.

After all that is said and print
ed as to the financial plank In the
st. Louis platform, there is little
reason to fear a onesided declara-
ton. The fact that there are two
extreme wings and large middle
body of conservative men, all con-
tending for their particular views
renders the taking OF the middle
ground almost imperative. There
is very little danger in any de-
Lucrative body going very fal
astray II it keeps to the middle o.
the road. 1t is when 1t takes tt
the ditch that danger comes.

Sloan Fassett, of New York, is
said to be Thomas C. Platt's
choice for the vice presidential
nomination. This is one OF the
very best reasons possible why
Sloan Fassett should not be nomi-
mated. Another reason is that
there are two other New York
gentlemen named in connection
with the place, either Of whom
would be an improvement on
Sloan these are Chsuncey Depew
and Levi P. Morton. 1t will be
found unnecessary to placate Plat
when the crucial test comes. Plat
has little influence left at home,
and he has practically none abroad.
1t will not be we'll for st. Louis to
take him at his own valuation.

st. Louis wisdom is taking coun-
sci of the methods in Glasgow in
her preparations for a new city
hospital. 1t is time that some Of
the western cities took hold OF the

accomplished in the way Of hos
pital for contagious diseases that
would fill the bill. 1t should be
clearly, neat, attractive, roomy,
fitted with all the latest appliances

Tennessee republicans have
worked hard and honestly and
courageously and against all the
powers OF democratic corruption
to carry that state for the party.
They have succeeded on more than
one occasion, only to be defrauded
in the count, and have always had
the CRITIC come back with renewed
determination. Such republicans
deserve more than ordinary recog-
milton, and it would be a very
graceful thing to recognize it at
st. Louis by giving to Tennessee
the honor OF the vice presidential
nomination. Clay Evans Is the
man Of all others whom Tennessee
republicans would delight to see
nominated for that office.

While the national republican

While the national republican
party is crowding st. Louis to the
extent of her hospitality, and her
citizens are busy making all pre-
parations for the incoming thou
sands, there is no respite to the
work OF restoration and relief
forced upon her in the necessities
of the late storm. The work of ex-
tending aid to the necessitous, as
well as clearing up the debris and
restoring the streets and lines of
transit: and communication, goes
bravely on. The relief funds are
in excess of a quarter OF a million
and every effort is made on the
part Of the large hearted citizens to
see that the hungry are regularly
fed and the houseless provided
with shelter. Relief work Is fully
systematized and is extended to
Include matters really necessary
that do not usually enter into con-
sideration at such times. st.
Louis is doing her work thorough
ly and with unbounded liberality.

There is nothing like pluck,
even IL it takes the form of sitting
out praise meeting in the face Of
leaky roof. Those Christian En-
deavorers believe in the final per-
severance of the saints. They love
to show their grit in the face of a
storm, even if they have to raise an
umbrella to do it.

MI. J. N. Smith has the sympathy of
this entire community in his heartrending
trials. Surely his cup of sorrow is filled
to over1owing. Only about eighteen days
ago his second son, Tillie, aged about
nineteen years, died with that dreaded
disease, typhoid fever. lie was fast be-
coming the center Of attraction among q
large number of his associates. And now
his eldest son, Beunie, aged twenty-three,
passed peacefully away with the same dis.
ease, at the home of his uncle, F. P. Smith,
in Alabama Though all was done that
loving hands could do to stay the ravage
of death, yet without avail. Bonnie was
a member of the Bspast Church, an up
right Christian. a mo lei young man. Lit
tie did we think, when we saw him taking
bis last look at the lifeless form of his
brother Tiliie, that in less than three short
weeks his manly form would be stilled in
deaths embrace. Though, he is not dead
but sleepeth. While the al wise hand of
God has removed from the home Of the
father two more Of earth's attachments to
which the affections of his heart were
entwined, and transplanted in His beauti.
full home above, give to the beresved that
consolation which only Christ can give.
May his sorrow be turned into joy at the
thought of being able to meet them where
there is no more suffering, but one eter-
nal day of rejoicing. q.

citizens. He was for many years one o!
the leading ministers Of the Presbyterian
denomination, and wag man of pure, up
right, exalted character. Bro. Wilkins

we are glad that he sent us some account
of his life and the sad circumstances of
his death. He was good and useful
man, and has served his day and genera
ton and now enters upon rich reward.

In the death of Rev. D. E. Frierson, D.

State, being pastor of the church in An

A Tragedy In 0rangeburg.

ORASGEBURG, Sept. 6.-There was a
terrible tragedy enacted ten miles north
west Of Orangeburg on Saturday n light
about s 80 o'clock. This tragedy resulted
in the death of good man. who leaves q
widow and seven children. and leaves
another family in deep trouble. Capt
John S. Rowe, prominent farmer of this
county, shot and instantly killed Mr..
William T. Oliver, last night at the resi-
dence Of the former. Both men are from
large and influential families and were
neichbors which makes the tragedy more
deplorable. The facts brought out at the
coroner's inquest was substantially as
follows: Mr.. Rowe had ginned two bales
of cotton for Mr.. Oliver and had kept the
seed till the tolls could be paid. Mr.. Oliver
claimed that Capt. Rive owed him for
some lumber and was therefore not justi-
fled in withholding the cotton seed. He
went over to Capt Rowe's home and
waited till that gentleman arrived. A
dispute soon arose and each cursed the
other. The only eye witness, a negro
man, testified that Mr.. Oliver knocked
Capt. Rowe down and was beating him,
when tho latter drew his pistol aud fired.
The ball passed through the heart, and
produced instant death. DR.. IT,. A. JEFF
fords, of this city accompanied Coroner
Dukes and held the post mortem. The
deceased was a brother of DR.. j. NJ.
Oliver, prominent physician of this
place.-SpeciaL to Ne,uS and Courier.

Typhoid Fever and Chills.

It is q we'll known fact that there has
been an unusual numper Of cases of ty-
phoid 1evor in Greenvile and the sur
rounding country during the present
summer. Now it is not my purpose to
try to tell how to treat this dread disease,
because in the first place am no doctor,
and second because I don't know, but [
can tell how to prevent it in future, and
preventative is said to be better than
cure. The recipe I propose to give is 30
simple chat fear many who might 9TH
erwise take steps to ward off the disease
will ignore it. This, however, is uot my
fault, and SO here goes:
Let every citizen, both here and in the
County, PLAN. large number Of sunflow-
or seed in his yard and garden and there
will be no more fever. The plant will
absorb the fever-producing fumes, or
microbes. The experiment will not cost
anything and may save many valuable
lives, not to mention pain, suffering, time
and cash. Get your seed now. II there
is none on your place apply to some
neighbor who has them, and plant them
early next spring
In putting away your seed to be plant
ed next spring be sure to put them out OF
reach of the rats and mice, because if you
do not, when planting time comes you
will find that your name is Dennis.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have one more re
cipe that desire to give your readers,
and it is likewise given without money
and without price and without hope Of
reward. It is cure for chills. Yes, that
is what l said. Here it is: Take piece
of fannel-either red or white-two inch
es " ide and put nine drops of spirits of
turpentine on it-not eight nor ten, but
nine-and sew the strip Of flannel around
the waist, next to the skin, on the morn
ing of the day the chill is due and the ex-
pected visitor will not come, and if the
remedy is used for two or three times the
chills will leave the patient.-A subscriber
in Gl'een~ille Mountaineer.
