The greed, folly and crime Of gold
monometallists in proposing to destroy
over three billion six hundred million
Of money need no stronger arraignment
than the plain statement contained in
these figures. If the plots Of the gold
clique shall at last prevail the world
will be reduced to position of abject
slavery. Gold will be appreciated to
the extent Of untold millions, silver will
cease to be money, the United States
will lose $780, 100000 of value at one
stroke and the climax of misery, power
ty and distress will have been reached.

Hanra's Love for Workingmen.

The love of Jonathan and David was
weak and sickly affair compared to
the affection Mark Hanna now feels for
the laboring men of Ohio. Nothing but
death can chill this disease of the heart,
unless it is the November election.-Co-

Disintercsted Friendship.

1t Is remarkable how disinterestedly
the Republican press Is laboring these
days to bring about harmony between
the national and the gold Democrats.
Seldom in the history Of political war
fare has such spectacle of unadulter-
ted friendship been displayed on the
part of an enemy. Hardly day passes
that does not bring forth some kindly
suggestion developing magnificent
plan upon which amity and union may
be secured between the Democrats
who cast 6,5OO.OOO votes for bimetal-
lism last year and the Democrats who
cast 135, 200 ballots for gold monomet-
allism.
Recently these generous efforts have
been redoubled, and Chairman Jones
has been reported, by his kind friends
of the Republican newspapers, as not
almost, but altogether persuaded to be
a goldbug. 1t is little bit curious that
all these peace pacts proposed by the
Republicans contemplate the absorp-
ton of the body of Democracy by its
tail, which is not according to natural
phenomena, for the tadpole never be-
comes all tail; on the contrary, the tail
becomes all tadpole.
Is it the desire Of these Republican
strategists to SO consolidate the Demo-
cratic party as to make it invincible?
That does not seem good generalship,
and yet there is no explanation offered
for this generosity other than an appar-
entity altruistic desire to be real good.
1t is barely possible that the Republi-
cans wish to destroy the bimetallic
sentiment, which they know is the
deadly menace to their own supremacy,
but Of this there is no hint in all their
erpumonfa

Iowa Democrats United,

Iowa DemOCrato On1tcQs
In spite of all the claims to the con-
trary that are being made by the oppo-
sition, the Democrats Of Iowa are uni
ted in support of Fred White. There
has been no vigor in the third party"
movement. The Democrats who voted
for Mckinley last year did not join the
Republican party-natiOnal or State.
They owe no allegiance to it and they
will not forsake their own organization
to follow such tinsel idol as Shaw of
Denison.
The Republicans are leaning upon a
broken reed if they hope to poll any
portion of the Democratic vote for their
ticket. Whatever may have been the
divisions among Democrats upon ma
tional issues-whatever they may be
nowhere is no difference of opinion
among Iowa Democrats as to the dan
ger of putting another Republican ad-
ministration in power at Des Moines.
Democratic votes aided Mckinley in
carrying Iowa last fall, but Democratic
votes will not help Shaw to carry it this
fall. There are no national issues in
volved. There is no possible ground for
affiliation of Democrats and Republi-
cans. The one dominant question is
that of decency and honest government
against repetition of the malodorous
Drake administration. White repre-
sents the former; Shaw stands for the
latter, and on such an issue the DemOc-
racy of Iowa never divides. If Shaw's
election depends upon his receiving any
part of the Democratic vote, no matter
how it may be labeled, his defeat is al
ready assured.-ChicagO Chronicle.

Another Job to Be "Slipped In"

Another job to BE "SIipped In"
According to Senator Lodge, Hawaii
Is to be annexed by trick and device.
The Constitution provides that the
treaty of annexation must be ratified
by two-thirds of the Senate before it
can become effective. But Senator
Lodge suggests that if serious oppo-
sition arises the job can be accom-
pIished by passing joint resolution,
already pending, which requires only
a majority vote. That is to say, the
jobbers and spectators who want to
annex leprosy, ignorance and deprav-
ity purpose to set aside the Constitu-
ton itself in order to do it.-New York

IN FAVOR OF LEASE.

Judge Simonton's Decree-QuestiOn
of Fraud Referred.
Judge Simonton has handed down
his decree in the case of the Southern
Railway VS.. the North Carolina Rail-
road ct ais.
To the three questions: '1st, as to
whether the North Carolina Railroad
could lease: 2nd, was the lease execut-
ed in conformity with the require
mentS of the charter 81, was the
lease executed bona f1de. without
fraud and malpractice?" Judge Simon
ton answers
First, the North Carolina Railroad
had the right to lease.
Second, the lease was executed in
conformity with the requirements of
the charter.
Third, as to whether there was
fraud, the question is referred to Hon
Kerr Craige, as special master, to
take testimony and report.
State Attorney General Walser,
Governor d L. Russell and the new
board of directors are given 60 days to
file testimony. The complainant and
the old board of directors are given an

as possible.
In the meantime the restraining or
der remains in force.

THE DRUMMERS' MILLENiUM. /.

Eight of Them to Travel in a Private
Car and Boycott Hotels.
The Savannah News says: "Nine
St. Louis drummers have eq1ipped a
private car with as many up-to-date
boudoirs, lockers and shelves and a
kitchen and storeroom which holds
not only samples of their wares, but
all kinds of choice eatables and drink
ables. In this car these nine ST.. Louis
dFummers, representing, Of course,
nine different lines OF goods, propose
to travel over their route, stopping as
usual at Wayback and Jonestown and
Smithville as of yore, but not at the
inns which the Inhabitants dignity
with the name of hotel.
"Of course, the hotel prOprietors
and inn-keepers cannot be expected to
indOrse this new departure, which
will turn shekels they have been ac
custOmed to receiving from this source
into the pockets OF larger corpora
tions, but, then, say the drummers,
think of the benefits that will accrue
to the knight Of the grip! When he
reaches Bonneville instead OF getting
off the dusty day coach and making
his way up the sandy streets to the
charming hostelry where mosquitoes
and similar accomplishments are by
no means luxuries, and where heavy
chicken pie and hardboiled eggs block
the staunchest Digestion, he will have
his little rolling palace sidetracked,
turn on the electric fan, enjoy cigar
aud glass of punch, and In the cool of
the evening stroll over to call on a
customer, just to get a little exercise
and incidentally, perhaps, to sell a
bill of goods"

"The area OF the United States is

it is 3 ,602 $50 square miles, equal to
the area OF all Europe, with Italy

largest State, is two hundred and
twelve times the size OF Rhode Island.
Texas might invite every man,
woman and child now living in the
world to Settle within it's territory,
offering each individual a plot of
ground forty-n and halt feet by
one hundred feet. The State would
not be really crowded, for each in
dividual would have four times the

A SHREwD SwINDLER.
j. ID. Abbot Gets Richmond Count,
Officials for S1.1OO.

One of the shrewdest swindlers
says the Rockingham Index, was
here for few days in May, and got
over 81 100 out of the county, took
his departure and has not been seen
or heard of since that time. He is
badly wanted by most of the school
com mmitteemen of the county and in
case he can be found things will be
made rather hot for him.
But j. d, Abbot, the man they're
after, has got his money and it is
hardly probable that he Will want
to renew his acquaintanceship in the
county of Richmond. Abbot claim
ed to represent first class chart
house and went to see the various
school committees. He showed
them a verv good chart and sold
some of them at S37 30 and in pay,
ment therefor he took vouchers
upon the county treasurer for the
money. In other instances Abbot
asked thecom rfsstteemen to last sign
their names to a piece of paper as
an endors ement for the commissions
ers. BY some slick means he works
ed most all the districts and it is
suggested that he resorted to for,
gerry in several instances. The
sheriff did not want to pay Abbot
the money but vouchers were in pro.
per shape and correctly signed and
he could not do otherwise Abbot
has his ST., 100 but no charts have
reached the deluded purchasers and
it is not thought by many that he is
anxious to deliver them. 1t has been
severel weeks since he took the
orders and got his money but the
present whereabouts of Abbot and
the charts is an unsolved mystery.
