INTERNATIONAL BlMETALLISM.
ADVOCATES OF THE DOUBLE
STANDARD ENCOURAGED
Over the Willingness OF Great
Britain to Accept an Invita-
ton to q Conference.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Advocates
of international bimetallism are much
encouraged by the cable reports from
London by the reception of the British
Government of the joint proposal for
an international agreement made by
Baron De Courcel, the French Embas-
sador, on the part of France, and by
ambassador Hay and the special mon
etary ENJOYS on the part of the United
States.
The form of the proposals submitted
| is not known in Washington, as the au-
thority to negotiate with the foreign
representative was vested without re-
serve in the special ENJOYS of the
United States. 1t is not believed by the
authorities here that the ENJOYS went
further than to suggest a general con-
ference to be held in the United States
some time next winter.
The evident willingness of the pres
ent British Government to accept an
invitation to participate in such con-
ference leaves no doubt as to the hold
ing of the conference eventually.
Pessimistic, as usual, in any move
that is not made their way, the rank
ee-coinage men do not believe that an
international conference will lead to
any agreement which would justify the
United States in opening the mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. Senator Stewart, Senator Teller
and Chairman Towne of the Silver Re-
publican organization, say that no good
will come from the conference if it is
held. They advocate coinage by the
| for he
consent of any other nation. They say,
upon what authority does not appear,
that even the avoWed bimetalliSts of
the British Government will not go
further than to hint vaguely at the
possibility of the opening Of the Amer
lean mints, and to talk in general terms
about keeping a certain percentage of
the Bank of England reserves in silver.
In all the reports which have been
given out about the work being done
by the special envoys, there has never,
say the silver Senators, been a sugges-
ton that England would agree to free
coinage, or anything approaching it.
Germany is another stumbling block
they affect to see in the way of an in
ternational agreement. The German
Government would gladly see the
United States and countries that might
be willing to join an agreement do
something which would enhance the
value of silver, even temporarily, for
Germany has a large quantity of silver
for sale. When the special nevoys were
in Berlin they could get little encour-
agement, and were given to understand
that Germany would follow the lead in
any conference that might be called.
Since that time the change in the Ger
man Ministry has made the possibility
of Germany entering into any agree
ment still more remote, for Baron Won
Thielmann, who has been summoned
/ from his post as ambassador to the
United States to become Imperial Min
lister of Finance, is a strong advocate
of the maintenance of the gold stand
ard by the German empire.

seconds, Tenekck leading by two

tied attempt to collar his rival, who
was now fairly in the Bucks water,
though he started from the Berks sta
ton. But though the wild encoura ge-
ment of the crowd spurred on the Vesta
man, it was useless, for the Worcester
boy had his measure and maintained
his position.

Results of Yesterdays National
League Games.

LOUISVILLE (Ky), July 16.-The
New Yorks and Colonels played two
games to-day, both going to the credit
of the latter. Intense excitement
swayed the crowd in the last inning of
the second game, as the Colonels grad
ually overcame the New Yorks' lead.
Rusie was put in the box in the ninth
with the bases full, and his wildness
was mainly responsible for the home
teams victory. When Umpire Wolf
called four balls on Wilson, forcing in
the run tieing the score, the New Yorks
acted like crazy men Park Wilson
tried to strike the umpire, but was pre-
vented. Two policemen caught Wilson
and took him from the field. In the
excitement Pickering crossed the plate
with the winning run. The first game
was enlivened by a fist fight between
Clarke and Davis, both being put out
of the game. Attendance, 2,oOO. First

to every township in the State that will
tax itself to that extent. To make that
promise in good faith to every township
would require somewhere between
100000 and 100000.
But not even the $4,000 mot other
wise appropriated" was in the State
treasury, and the State Board of Educa-
ton, without any authority by law to
Justify it, proposes to lend the State that
amount annually for three years, out of
the funds, which the very first section
of the school law says they shall on the
! first Monday Oh every August distribute
without discrimination for the benefit of
all the children of the State. But it is to
| be loaned to the State to be distributed
to a few favored towns or townships that
may vote the tax, which are already able
to take care of themselves; and the chill
dren of all the other sections of the
State will not only he deprived of the
present use of their share of this money,
which belongs to them, but I'LL the peo-
pie sooner or later will have to h taxed
or it's repayment to the State Beard of
Education.
| The State Board have 10 more right
to lend this money to the Sta.c than
County Boards Of Education have to
lend the county schools finds to the
counties; and the use of it for that pur-
pose ought to be nj incl by thecourts,
so that it may be distributed as the law
directs.
Another piece of attempted deception
that all opposed to special tax must
vote a ballot against schools" That is
unworthy of any legislature
But it is in the threats it makes that it
it offends most strongly against the dig
nifty of citizenship.
| Let it be remembered that this is mat
ter for the people, in every locality to de-
eide for themselves, yet all through that
act there resounds, in thunder tones, the
command of the dictator: eff you vote
this tax you shall not repeal it in three
years and you shall not hold an election
then to repeal it, except upon the petition
of at least one-third of all the qualified
voters Of the township, and if you do not
vote for the tax in 1897, you shall hold
an election every two years thereafter
until such special tax is levied"
Let every township that desires it have
an election at any time for this purpose,
and let all the people be encouraged to
educate their children. But who is it, thus
assuming to dictate to the freemen of
North Carolina, in regard to matter of
local self government?
| 1t is the spirit of state socialism, which
| fully developed means state despotism. /
could as conscientiously vote for an en-
pire as for tax under that statute. The
mind that conceived it Las not proper
appreciation of the fundamental princi-
pies of free government.
AS a rebuke to the dangerous spirit
lurking in that statute every good citizen
of the State ought to vote against the
| tax.
| do not believe in going back to the
monarchies and empires of the old world
to find models for the institutions of a
free state in the American republic
We want no state despotism in North
Carolina; and if it lifts its Shiny head
and wags its tongue of poison anywhere
among US, it must be throttled, else the
liberties Of the people are gone

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to pair of
clutches. Then comes falling of
