WILL THE BAIT TAKE.

To the Editor of The Times: 81 nee
the Democratic legislative convention,
which was held IL shcrJ time ago in Sa-
lem, there seems to he IL great divergence
Of opinion as to the good Judgment dis
played by the delegates. The writer is
of the opinion that Judgment WAS not
taken into consideration by the delegates
either before or NJ the convention. There
is "ring' behind the scenes, who think
that they have the wool SO completely
pulled over the eyes OF the people that all
they have to do is to call their ward heel
ers into lawyers Office and announce
their candidates, authorize their bench
men to go forth ard preach their gospel
to all voters. This sweet oil
garchy should have better sense. If they
have not, this is an opportune time to
give them few lessons. The platform
upon which their candidates seem much
pleased to be seated is very delicate It
will not bear much shaking, and have
NY doubts if it will stand until Novem-
Der ,. They gave labor snap shot,
g-atis. They say they are going to try
to find out what labor needs. Is it pos.
sible that the great producer of all
wealth. labor, is going to be recognized.
We have sent the lawyer and the politi-
clan once too often to represent us in our
Legislature, and so long as we continue
to do SO we can never..expect anything in
the way of legislation other than that
which we have received in the past.
There is no law on our statute books
whereby labor Is protected, for the law
yer and politician are not built that way,
and you cannot remodel them. 1t is un.
necessary for me to dwell on :his subject
longer Suffice to say for the present,
if the candidates referred to are the best
we can afford from this district, the far
mer, merchant, mechanic ami labor in
general may expect to remain subject to
the obnoxious laws now existing and the
good (2) laws under false captions or
titles. Very truly,
a MECHANIC

WHITE METAL CONSIDERED.
Officials of Bank of England Discuss the
Matter.


London, Sept. 11.-At the semi annual
meeting Of the Bank of England to day
Sir George Sandman. governor, said:
You are possibly aware of the proposals
laid before the government in the sum
mer by United States and France, by
which this country might increase its use
of silver as its contribution to interna-
tional agreement, and while not affecting
our gold standard might enable the mints
OF France and America to resume free
coinage. Among the proposals is one
asking our nank to hold the amount of
silver permissible under the act of 1S4L
as against its notes.
The governor then read IL letter dated
July, addressed to the chancellor OF the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, as
follows:
referring to our conversation we oeg
to say our bank is prepared to carry out
what is'permissible under the bank char
ter, viz: to hold one fifth of bullion
ny ainst it's note issue in silver. provided
always that the French mint again open
to flee coinage of silver and that the price
ut which silver is procurable and saleable
are satisfactory"
Replying to these questions the gov
ernor said the bank had no negotiation
with the United States monetary commits
sioners, adding: 1--WE have bought no
silver: all we have done in to agree under
certain cir unstances to carry out wha6
is permissible under tho act of 1874"

THE VERDICT SUSTAINED.

1t will be remembered that several
months ago Mrs. Josiah Friend, as adj
niinistrator of her deceased husband s es-
tate, brought suit against the receivers
of the Norfolk and Western Railway
Company for $40. Quo damages. The case
was tried in the hustings court of this
city and the jury returned II verdict for
the plaintiff. giving her.$S. 900 damages.
The case was brought about from the fact
that Mr.. Friend was killed while trying
to cross the railroad track nea. The old
rolling mill on.his bicycle. Counsel for
the railroad company ut once moved to
set aside the verdict rs being contrary 10
the law and evidence in the case, whith
motto" was overl uled by Judge John w.
Woods. The case then went TO the court
of appeals and on Thursday was there
argned. The verdict of the hustings
court was sustained so that the matter ia
practically settled so far as further litiea-
ton is concerned. The case involved in a
large measure the duties imposed by law
on parties crossing railway tracks rs TO
the necessary precautions to be observed.
The plaintiff was represented by Messrs
Fl. st. George Tucker and Harvey II.
Hall, and the railway company by Watts,
Robertson & Robertson.
