FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
Standard Life and Accident Company
of Detroit, Michigan.

The capital stock of this company is
100000. This gives the Standard the
largest cash capital of any company IN
America doing an exclusively accident
insurance business.
The Standard allows indemnity for
fifty-two weeks, and makes no deduc-
tons from death claims for indemnity
paid for prior injuries.
The Standard agrees to pay the full
amount of its policy in case the insured
shall meet with an accident which shall
entirely destroy the sight of both eyes,
or cause the loss of both hands or both
feet, or of one hand and one foot; or in
case of the loss Of one foot to pay one
third of said amount; or in case of the
loss of the right hand, to pay one half,
or for the loss of the left hand, one
fifth Of said amount.
The Standard policy is not forfeited
by reason of the insured engaging in an
occupation classed as more hazardous
than that under which it was issued
but in the event of the insured meeting
with an accident while so engaged, the
Company will pay such indemnity as the
premium paid would have secured under
the increased hazard.
The Standard gives worldwide non
forfeitable policy, with fewer conditions
and restrictions than the policy of any
other company.
The rates of the Standard compare ia
vorably with those of other companies,
while the advantages offered are i'll
many respects superior.
The Standard is strong in financial
backing. liberal in contracts, equitable
in settlements, prompt in payment.
Injuries resulting from the attempt
to save human life, as also those re-
ceived while engaged in gymnastics or
athletic sports, for amusement or recrea-
ton only, are fully covered by the poll
cies of this company.
Wide-awake local agents wanted. For
further information address Thomas Me

MILITANT CONSERVATISM OF DEMOCRACY

The Greensboro Telegram has a
thoughtful and able editorial, based upon
Senator Daniels declaration that "1he
Democracy is the true conservative party
make room for the following extracts:
sit is also well to recall that the old
taunt of the opponents of Democracy
was the never learn and never forget
Bourbon Democracy So far from be-
ing radical, the attitude of the Democra-
tic party to-day, State and National, is
only that of conservatism aroused and
alert against a grave menace. The va
porings Of few windy demagogues in
toXicated with their own eloquence is
not TO be taken as the true opponents Of
Democracy; all parties have these friends
from whom they would fain be saved
and it is no exception; but deep down in
the rank and file of the party will be-
founl that tenacious observance to the
basic principles of our government which
is the only wise conservatism possible
with us.
Conservatism may be militant as
well as passive. The party that fights
aggression and encroachment on time
honored principles, and even goes consid.
cradle lengths in so doing, does not ne
cessarily cease to be conservative. The
party that quietly submits to encroach-
ment is not conservative on that nc
count, it is only imbeciie Indifferent.
Conservatism may not only say thus
far and no farther" it may also pro-
coed to recover ground already lost.

Tn all tie history Of the State there has
not been. except in the Grissom investl-
gotion n charge so serious as that al
legged against DR.. X. II. Smith, the ply
s.cian in charge of the criminal insane Of
North Carolina.
The substance of the charges, together
With the statements of some of those VINO
u.era in q pos;tion to know the facts, ap-
neored in Yesterdays issue of this paper
0nt of desire not to do DR.. Smith or
any one else injustice, the story was
r;van in the most lenient light possible,
consistent with the evidence obtained by
the reporter.
The publication created profound SEN
sation throughout the State. The peo-
ME are ready to pardon ordinary mis-
takes of public official, but there is one
crime IN a physician in a public institu-
t;on for which there is no forgiveness.
The directors of the penitentiary are
now in session in this city. They are the
representatives of the people. 1t is their
duty to lay aside such comparatively
small matters as leasing the pendtentary
and order a full and complete investiga-
ton Of the alleged acts of DR.. Smith. If
he can disprove the allegations made
against him. he ought to be given i'm
mediate opportunity to do so. At any
rate. the people OF the whole State are
entitled to full and impartial investi-
CATION, conducted in public, and will be
satisfied with nothing less.
They will withhold their judgment I'M
til they are in possession of the sworn
evidence of all parties in position to
know the truth. If the Board, after hear
ing the evidence, find true verdict in
accordance Herewith, they will do their
| duty. But the people constitute the Su'
preme Court now as they did in the Girls
sem case where they overruled the de-
o:s.on of the Board, and demanded the
protection of the unfortunate insane.
Pending the full, public investigation
the people will withhold their verdict
giving to DR.. Smith the same benefit that
he would enjoy in any other court.

OUR CONTENTION ADMITTED.

The fac. that the British government
n considering holding one-ffth OF its re-
serve in silver has given the gold men
cold chill. A London cablegram says
Ssilyer is firmer on account of Indian
purchases. There are rumors that the III
dia council is buying for coinage" II
the price has risen sharply in lndia. Ii
this caused rise Of Is per cent in silver
bullion, how much would it rise If the
United States and France would open
their minis to silver?
In a recent issue the New York Sun
said:
'"rhe origin of the scheme is I'M
doubtedly the desire Of the b.metallic
members of the British government
to do something to make silver more
valuable than it is They represent the
great Tory landed interests and the
Manchester cotton spinners, who see
in the present low prices Of silver the
canse Of the low price of agricultural
produce and of the increasing compe-
tition IN manufacturing Of India and
Japan"
The Columbia State, the best paper
published in a town of its size that
comes to this office, made this happy
comment on the Suns remarkable admis-
sion:
$50 we said But isn't it shocking
that these communistic landown:ng
British lords should want to raise the
y,rico nf oU,.icrrlt,,roI ,,roJ..cfc Gu bat
their tenants can pay their rents, and
isn't it more shocking still that the
visionary, impractical and absurd
Manchester cotton spinners should
seek to retain their markets in the
east, out of which the gold standard
is crowding them! What an example
for sensible Americans who raise
crops and spin cotton!'

CASES UP TO DATE.
Continued from First Page.)

only two cases which give the attending
physicians any reason for alarm. These
are the new cases today:
Joseph Roth, 1924 Cleouet street
Fred Gund, 1886 Marais.
Mrs McAndrews, 100 Howard
Child of Judge Lea, 1910 Dublin street
- Bartlette, 1898 Baronne street.
Miss Nellie Scannell, Ill Berlin street
G. w. Wood, 1885 Octavia street.
r. r. Reynolds, 1903 Coliseum street.
G. f. Joor, 1868 Laura street.
Some new places of infection are in
cluded in these cases, but it is stated to-
night that each one of the patients is do
ing well and that there is no immediate
danger Of a fatal termination in any Of
these cases.
Up to the present time there has been
little dread of the fever. Sporadic cases
are appearing about town, but the Board
of Health thus far has been enabled sue
.cessfully to quarantine each case that has
appeared. Confidence locally is steadily
increasing. There never was large
measure Of apprehension in New Orleans,
but the city seems now to have settled
down to the belief that there is absolutely
no danger of an epidemic, and that with
lin very brief space of time even before
frost, the physicians will have succeeded
in completely stamping out the sickness.
A number of patients were discharged
yesterday and today and the total num-
Der of cases receiving strict attention to-
day does not exceed ten. Half a dozen
towns today by telegraph and telephone
notified the authorities here that they
had concluded to withdraw their restric-
tons against the receipt of freight from
New Orleans. The circular issued by
President Olliphant and DR.. Garter, of
the Marine Hospital service, seems to
have reached all sections of the State
and authorities in the smaller towns seem
to have decided that there is no danger
| in receiving from New Orleans properly
fumigated freight.

worthier-than-thou outfit; IS a man OF
much conceit and no great talent, who de-
lights to pose as a mental fop and a
moral exquisite; and who was simply
"born rich" Here is Lewiss climax:
Politically, he is an Ishmael and
an migrate, and his hand has ever
been against his party, while his lips
cravad favors from it. Lastly, men
tally, physically and politically, he is

Lord will let him be, and if you want
him for your mayor, take him. For

days.
The letter of Col. Dennis WOrthing
ton to Judge Avery has caused much
very favorable comment. 1t goes with
out the saying that Col. Worthington
deserves well at the hands of Eastern
North Carolina Democracy-more per-
haps than any other one individual be-
cause of his lifelong devotion to its
principles, and the sacrifices he has
made. In 1892 most flattering offer
was made him by the Populists to join
that party and in the last campaign he
would have been elected Superior
Court Judge by simply allowing his
name to be used. His answer declining
this fiattering offer was pointed and
characteristic. mo, gentlemen" he
said, II owe everything l am TO the

sufferers. We noted yesterday that
Catholic priest of Vicksburg had gone to

there have been constant in service. In
such affections, there is no creed or sect
