The friends of silver are becoming
fewer and fewer. Senator Stewart has
told the people that they may as well
fall in line and get their share of pros
perity, as it is useless to talk silver now;
Ex-Governor Altgeld has dropped silver,
and is said to be organizing paper
money party, and Ex-Governor Boies has
denounced the l6 to l proposition as
suicidal, in view of the great discrepancy
between the coinage ratio and the com
mercial ratios of silver. Many other
Democrats, being greenbackers at heart,
have advocated free silver as simply a
stepping stone to true fiatism, and now
that free silver is becoming so unpopular
they are gradually dropping it,

That great business Improvement has
come Co the country since last July is
conceded by all intelligent observers
and that this is due largely to the pass
age of the Dingley tariff must also be
conceded. Whatever may be the opera
tions of the new tariff, the restoration
of confidence brought about by its pass
age put into operation millions of dollars
which had heretofore been lying idle,
and that gave employment to hundreds
of thousands of hands. 1t caused the
country TO undergo such as had never
before been witnessed by many of the
present generation, idle factories and
furnaces to start into new life, and the
hum of industry 20 sound from State TO
State. The new tariff is likely to war
rant the confidence placed in it, as its
revenues are satisfactorily increasing
month by month, and it will be but
short time when the Treasury will have
a monthly surplus instead of deficit,
~ has been the case for the last four
years.

Bradstreets Review says that in spite
of the less active trade of October due
to yellow fever scares, quarantines, etc.,
the aggregate total for that month was
greater than even September's immense
total, making the heaviest months
total since January, 1898. 1t may be
remembered that Mr.. Bryan, on a cool
October day stated that the first six
months of McKinley's administration
was the most disastrous in the history of
the country.

Mr.. Bryan boastingly announced in

spoke increased their Republican ma

The receipts under the new tariff law

BROUGHTON'S REJECTION WILL
DAMN THE LEGISLATURE.

We raise no issue with Mr.. Cook, of
Warren, upon his statement In regard
to the Wake Forest students, but agree
with Mr.. Duffy, of Onslow. that in view
of the attempt of Mr.. Cook to show
that the Wake Forest students voted IL
legally, the House in seating Jim Young
either declared the students had per-
iured themselves, or that Dan. Young
tanlpered with the ballot boxes IN a GER
tain ward in Raleigh. The action of the
House. from Cooks own argument, shows
that for the reason that there were eight
votes which ought to have been and
were not counted for Broughton, which
would have given Broughton six majority
on the recount If the Wake Forest stu
dents were entitled to vote and the bal
lot-boxes had not been tampered with.
Mr.. Cooks praise of the Wake Forest
students is like cutting a mans head
and then trying to plaster it. While ne
does not denounce them as perjurers, they
certainly were perjurers if they swore
that Wake Forest was their home when
it was not and that they We're entitled
to registration when they were not.
Mr.. Cooks particular desire to exoner-
ate himself shows that he had taken more
burden than he desired to carry.
The truth is that Mr.. Cook and the
other majority members of the committee
seated jim Young in the face of power
erful evidence that Broughton had been
elected. OF the FIVE members who voted
to seat Jim Young, only two of them
heard all the evidence and argument IN
the case.
The refusal to seat Broughton will
damn this Legislature from one end OF
the State to the other, and the facts
in connection with the case will be heard
on every stump in North Carolina, Men
who have prated of fair elections, viii be
condemned for holding this case back for
fifty-five days, and then seating negro

sENArE-NIGHT SESSION.

The Senate re-assembled at O'Clock
p. m. and bills disposed Of as follows:
To encourage local taxation for public
schools. The bill provides that elections
shall be held in all townships in the State
to ascertain whether they desire special
tax should be levied for public school
funds, and each township that raises any
amount up to $500, shall have the amount
duplicated by the State Treasurer.
Mr.. Sharpe (of WILSON, offered the fol-
lowing substitute for section ], Of the
bill: That for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this bill the sum OF
$4,000 or so much thereof as may be
necessary is hereby appropriated annually
for three years, commencing with Decem-
ber /, 1897, the same to be paid out of
the special funds for school purposes
now in the hands Of the State Treasurer
and held by him as treasurer ex-otficio to
the credit Of the State Board of Educa-
ton, and for the purpose of further carry
ing out the provisions of this act, the
sum OF $4,000 or so much thereof as IS
necessary is hereby appropriated annually
out of any monies in the Treasury, not
otherwise appropriated. The money
hereby appropriated to be paid as called
Tor by the State Board og Education 10

scribed The first section of the bill is

THE NEW PRESIDENT.


A new President took the oath OF OIL
fee yesterday.
William Mckinley for the next four
years will have more power than the
ruler of any civilized country on the
earth. He comes into Office heralded as
the advance agent of prosperity That
the blessing of work to do at fair pay
may come to all willing hands during
his term is the sincere hope of all men
of all parties.
The inaugural address of the new
President is in line with all his utter
ances. There is not a great thought IN
it nor a paragraph that will live. 1t IS
marked by mediocrity and platitudes.
Elected to give the country sound
financial system, he puts the tariff to the
forefront, and has called an extra ses-
sion of Congress to deal with the tariff
question, and has recommended a nom
partisan commission to consider the mon
ey question.
Elected to put tariff to the forefront,
MIR. Cleveland disregarded the voice of
the people and called the extra session Of
Congress to deal with the money ques-
tion.
In Cleveland's case this policy Of post
poning the mandate of the people, brought
Democratic division and defeat.

ANOTHER RAILROAD TRICK.

The man who drew Grants substitute
took the pains to omit the provision of
the original bill which was intended to
protect farmers and other shippers a
gainst discrimination in charges upon
the products Shipped by them. This was
one of the best features of the Avery bill.
1t was inserted because the Railroad Com
missioners had said that they had no pow
er to prevent such discrimination. If the
substitute was not drawn under the die
tation of the officers of the Southern Rail
way, why was this salutary provision left
out?

When the House yesterday passed the
bill to exclude Moore's History from the

of Alexander, suggested that a 'Hisro-
ry of the General Assembly Of 1897
would be substituted.
That's the way to do 'em. We
have to work 'em," said Mccarthy to
McCaskey yesterday, referring to unpar-
liamentary method by which Grant got
the substitute election law deviltry before
the Senate. That's the way to do 'em"
has been the motto Of the gang since they
have been in Raleigh.
The substitute for Grants election law
provides for an election board in each
county composed of the chairmen of coun-
ty commissioners, clerk, and register who
shall appoint registrars and judges of
election, one from each party. The whole
shall be under the supervision of the
courts.
