been introduced in the State. This
Is measure for which eyerybody in
Congress will vote, and which no.
body, in or out of Congress believes
Will ever amount to row of pins, SO
far as increasing the use of silver as
money is concerned.
TO CONTROL THE SENATE.
A Washington special to the
World says:
"An arrangement has just been
completed between the sound-money
Republican Senators and three
sound-money Democratic Senators
by which the incoming Administra-
ton will be given the support of a
working majority in the Senate.
The Republicans have been schem.
ing for long time to effect such a
combination, for the purpose of de-
featlng the well known plans of the
silver Senators to combine with the
Democratic members to prevent
tariff legislation. The Republicans
have seen that even with sound
money Senators from North Caro-
lima and Kentucky they woald have
but forty-f four votes, two short of a
majority.
Chairman Hanna has hat a
skilful and diplomatic representa-
tive in this city for weeks, all of
whose energies have been devoted to
the plan which has just been sue
cessfully carried out.
GAS a part of the agreement it
was determined to have the Dupont
case re-opened, not with the expec-
tation that anything will be done
now, but that the Delaware contes-
tant may be seated during the extra
session. The three Democratic SEN
ators, it is said, have pledged them
selves to vote for Dupont. They
also promise to support all reasona-
BILE legislation proposed by the Re-
publicans. The names of these
Senators are not made public, for
the reason that they would imme-
diately be subjected to reproach
from their associates and protests
from their constituents.
''The sound-money Republicans
are certain of having forty-six votes
at least, not counting Dul ont or
Pritchard, of North Carolina, when
the work of the extra session is
taken up. This will enable them to
put through their tariff bill without
a free silver rider and to transact
such other business as may be con-
sidered necessary to redeem the
| pledges made in the st. Louis plat
form.
cit is not known, of course, what
patronage has been given these three
Democratic Senators, but it will
doubtless be sufficient to compensate
them for the annoyance to which
they will be subjected"
The Charlotte Democrat., 1897-01-28
He,yoted for Pritchard.

1t is given out from Raleigh that
State Senator Odom is to have the
Wadesboro postofice. This infor-
nation will cause thoughtful people
to ask the question, "why is Mr..
Odom to have the Wadesboro post
Officer" Each person can answer
the question for himself, but that it
will be a unanimous answer cannot
be donbted.-Wadesboro Messenger.

Cuban Liberty.

For TIE NEWS g. TIMES.
Come all ye men who freedom love
And sing song with me:
Let's sing about fair Cuba's Isle
NOW struggling to be free.
For truly do those Cuban braves
Our sympathy attain,
ana with machetes flashing bright
Defy the tyrant Spain.
With treachery and deYilish art,
They slew brave Maceo:
But still tn 8 did not end the war.
Though all, Spain tried to crow.
Another man stands on his place.
The fight must still go on;
Eor freedoms cause though baffled oft,
Must surely stfll be won"
Our gallant Consul Lee has said,
Spaln's cause is helpless now?P
she might as well call Weyier home.
And homeward turn her prows.
Then here's three cheers for Cuba's veal,
Though cursed by cruel luck;
W lth Olney holding Congress back,
And Cleveland bent on duck.
God grant before next summers breeze,
Shall fan the earth and sea;
That WI en- IL blows on that fair Isle
May find the Cubans free.

Sale OF Nevada Mines.

In Fridays Silver State we notice
the record Of the sale Of some mining
property i'll northern Humboldt
county to a California nan for the
sum Of $4,000. We are glad to note
the contamination Of such sale and
hope to hear of many more Of the
same kind.
The article, however. seems to indi-
cate that the writer looks upon the
prosperity Of Eastern Nevada, and of
Elko county especially. as due to
boom conditions. We would poiur
out an article written K, the Silver
State by this writer in June last,
which is fair comment upon condi-
tons in Elko county. We. have had

lNDlA'S HIDDEN GOLD
Will Be Turned Loose If Her Mints Are Closed
 10 Silver.

London, Oct. 26-The Times published this morning a long letter from Henry Dunn MacLead. on the adoption of the gold standard for India, in the course of which the writer says: Tt is estimated twenty years ago that 60,00O,00 pounds sterling worth of gold would be requir- ed at that time to restore the Indian currency to the gold basis. More would be required now. But it is established that at lsast 300, 900 pounds sterling in gold is now hoarded in India which will be brought out if the Indian hints are kept closed to silver while the ra- tio of the sovereign to the rupee is ad- justed to the present value of the rupee"
 The Times, commenting upon Mac Leods letter says: "The public is not in possession of the facts in which the Indian governments decision that it was possible to adopt the gold standard is based; but if this is within the bounds Of possibility it ought to be carried into effect. For dit would relieve business all over the world from the disquiet- ening eect of bi-metallist agitation and intrigue"
