MRS. HOOKER, St. Johnsbury.
MADAM-Mrs. William Martin, So
Washington street, Flushing, N. Y, says
our Harmless soap has reduced her soap
bill from $13 year to $3.50.
She keeps a boarding house and uses
lots of soap Before using Harmless she
used to buy a quarters worth of soap a
week &c cakes, AT first she bought only
five bars Of Harmless at time; used
three week,
Afterwards she bought Harmless by
the box-100 bars, 1t lasted over a
year. After it became dry she didn't use
over two bars week; in some cases only
three bars in two weeks. Figure this out
by the year:
Six cakes a week a 25c $13 O0ayear
One box Harmless-100 bars 7.50ayear
A saving of SIS 50ayear
It's an old saying that "the soap that
costs most by the pound costs least by
the year." but it's true one. Mrs,
Martin has learned that a high priced
soap is great deal cheaper than low
priced.

ASSISTANT REPUBLICANS AT WORK.

There is four handed contest on in
Kentucky for Clerk of the Supreme court.
A correspondent of the New York Times
saws "the outlook at present is brighter
for the National Democrats than for any
of the other parties" and further on it
says that if anything like the vote ex-
pected is cast for the National Demo-
cratic candidates (gold) lit will mean
the certain election of the Republican
candidate"
Exactly. The outlook is brighter
for the gold Democrat and if he gets
pretty good vote at will mean the GER
tain election of the Republican candi-
date" That's why we have no patience
with so-called National Democrats"
They lend all their energies to securing
the election of Republicans, either di-
rectly or indirectly, and then pretend to
get mad if you call them assistant Re-
publicans." Their action this year,
when they have not the excuse given
last year, in Kentucky, Iowa and OHIO
shows that they constitute merely one OIL
vision of Hanna's army.

TRUE TO PRINCIPLES.

There is no backward step anywhere.
The honest Pennsylvania Democrats
"heartiy reaffirm and reiterate the prin-
einles OF the Democratic party expressed
In the platform adopted by the national
convention at Chicago in 1896 and ap-
proved by 100000 free and independent
voters" and congratulates VIM. ). Bry-
nm "the glorious champion of. a righteous
cause for his mastery leadership in
support of Democratic principles.
This is the reply Democrats every
where will make to those foolish boilers
who think, because of bad crops in Eu-
rope which afford temporary good price
for wheat, the men who believe in BIZ
metallism will repudiate their convic-
tions. The gold standard has been
weighed in the balance and found want
ing. It has given us seven years and
more of hardship and want. One good
crop will not restore the destruction it
has wrought.
The most significant action OF the con-
vention was the turning down of w. +.
Harrity, who was national chairman in
1892, after a warm contest. Mr.. Harrlty
has been popular leader, but he did not
stand true in 1896, and his own people
repudiate him.
The "silver craze is not dead yet and
~ Ch;oo oo nlatform stands as the new
declaration Of independence. Both are
stronger than before Hanna's trust
money bought the last election. The
Democratic party invites the assistance Of
patriots to carry out the creed OF the
party as expressed in the Chicago plat
form. 1t will win in 1900 unless the
people prefer to remain vassals of the
money kings, tariff barons and trusts.

COL. OLDS CARD.

To the Editor: Judge Walter Clark, in
card published to-day, refers to the news
item regarding the visit of Senator But
Ter and Mr.. Rivers to his house, and
then. passing on to other matters, says
that letters written by him were taken
from the hands of his servant and their
addresses read. This shall first have at
tention. Any statement that your cor
respondent so looked at letters is alb
solutely and unqualifedly false. The
news as to the visit of Senator Butler
to Judge Clark was current. The state
ment that Judge Calrk participated in
drawing the letters to two of the Rail-
road Commissioners was also current.
In conversation with a prominent at
torney, about six weeks ago. in the Su-
preme court room, Judge Clark said to
him that if he were Governor Russell he
would remove the Commissioner or Com
missioners, If he believed what Russell!
said he believed. This, Judge Clark
added. Governor Russell had perfect
right to do under section Of Of act
creating the Commission. Judge Clark
is public man and occupies a large
place in the public eye and in the public
prints and hence the visit to him OF
Senator Butler. editor of the Caucasian,
and of the manager Of that paper. was
considered a public item.

AN OBJECT LESSON OF VALUE.

Yesterday two negro rapists were
legally executed-one in Green county
and one in Vance county. "The case OF
Dock Black in Green county, writes
lawyer friend at Kinston, was as
outrageous a case as that of Brodie in
Vance. and in the face Of the fact that
the last Legislature utterly ignored Gov
ernor Russell's recommendation for
changes in the law to prevent lynching,
SO as to have speedy trials"
Our news columns tell Of the legal
execution of these two miserable fell
lows. Recently in Western North Caro-
lima a negro who committed this crime
was lynched by an indignant community.
The people of Vance and Green were
not less indignant, but in both counties
the law was permitted to take its course.
The Buncombe negro had to give his
life as the penalty for his crime. The
Greene and Vance negroes paid the
same penalty. In calm review, how
much better it is to let the law execute
than to trust the execution TO outraSeo
neighbors.
These two executions prove to us thar
however it may be in Ohio and New
York, the people Of North Carolina vii
not see this crime 60 unpublished. I'm
only excuse for lynching rapists ma
been the plea that the laws delay pre-
vented speedy punishment. The execu
ton yesterday shows that this excus
does not exist in North Carolina.
Let us protect the women Of our Stat
at all hazards, but let us remember tina
they are best protected when their al
sailants are legally executed. Such pei
allies inspire respect for law as well
show to bad men the sure result Of the
crimes.

SILVER'S NEW Low RECORD.

New York, September Bar silver
made a new low record in this market
today. The quoted price was 51Hc an
ounce, &c below the previous low record.
Mexican dollars are quoted at Al cents.
London's opening price for bar silver
was 23Md, the rate subsequently declin-
ing to 231ad, I'D below the previous low
record.
The fall is accounted for by the suspen-
sion of the sale of Indian council bills
for ten weeks. This is equivalent to
shutting off the supply of exchange on
India. and is likely to result in a rise
of Indian exchange to the gold shipment
point. and is regarded as removing one
of the sustaining factors to the price of
silver.

CAPTURING THE LAST CITADEL.

The money power is not to be deferred
from controlling the institutions of learn
ing which their contributions endow.
At Stanford University, in California,
Prof. Edward A. Ross has been shifted
from the chair of economics to that of
social science because during the last
campaign he supported the free coinage
Iof silver. His friends do not believe he
will submit to the degradation IN rank,
but will resign.
During the campaign Prof. Ross, we
are told surprised everyone by sending
to a local free silver paper four col
umn letter written in question and an
swer, in which the answers were all
favorable to free silver. 1t was kind
of catchism for the free silver voter,
intended to educate him so he might
answer all objections to the double
standard. Among the questions asked
was:
Q.-Does the gold standard injure
sometimes debtors, sometimes creditors?
A.-No. All its hardships fall on the
debtor.
Further ON it was declared: The
gold standard gives us nothing but ex-
tortion. With free coinage the effect
on existing debts would be a slight ex-
tortion, slight Reputation and a great
deal of justice"
Prof Ross went deeply into the eff
feet, as he conceived it, of free silver
upon the monetary conditions of the
country. He called his effusion: "A
Text Book on Money, dedicated to all
honest and reasonable inquirers." 1t
was used as a campaign document, and
was followed by speeches delivered by
the professor in support of the position
he had taken.
For daring to differ with the million
aires who give money to the institution,
Prof. Ross is to be first degraded and if
he fails to resign because of the indignity,
a way will be found to get rid of him az
in the case of President Andrews at
Brown University.
The men who have made their fortunes
by trusts write our tariff and currency
laws; appoint our Federal judges; own
many of our papers; and now they have
to control the last citadel of
liberty of conscience and free speech.
1t would be better for New England and
California that Brown and Stanford
Universities should be utterly destroyed
than that the influences of fortunes made
like the Rockefeller and Stanford for
times were amassed should continue their
destroying domination.
