DESPERATE CHANCES.

With all the uncertainty that sudden
wealth brings, the uncertainty of get
ting it and the greater certainty Of get
ting rid of it. scores of men were at
that moment probably en- route over
the Chilcoot Pass. They were chanc-
ing the rigors of arctic winter, star
vation, scurvy and death in a struggle
for gold, caring more for it than for
home, for country, for self, for re-
ligion.
1t was possible, DR.. Mcleod said, for
ONE to love money in other than an
uncnristian or an unscriptural way.
There were men who so pursued their
search. Honor was always awaiting
the man who worked in order to earn
an honest living and not to get money
to hide in a hedge or to enjoy a dis
honorable privilege.
The labOring man who sweats for his
pittance was entitled to the considera-
ton and good offices of all of Gods
people, but the walking delegate was
another creature. The chief result of
the walking delegates earning capac-
ity was to earn money and starve
wives and children, to defy law and
order, to commit murder. He would
make beggars for few dimes or drinks
of beer; he wanted something for moth
ing; he was a despicable creature.
There were men whose want of
money for the sake of money was a
consuming passion. They would risk
death, take desperate chances, be un-
scrupulous and encourage shattered
mind and body to secure riches; there
was nothing beyond it or before it; it
was their chief and only aim.
MONEY FOR GOD.
A man who wants money for the
good he can do with it is an immortal
and worthy of his maker. Some of the
worlds greatest benefactors and re-
formers received but scant wages from
a world they served so we'll, but the
memory of their good works would al
ways be kept green.
For the benefit of young men, Dr.
Mcleod observed, that though NAM
mon was the goal desired in some quar-
ters, the young would have the testi-
mony Of a good conscience to sooth
their dying hours if they lived honest
simple and noble lives, devoting their
talents to good works rather than a
hunt for riches. Wealth could not save
a dying mans soul nor his body, but
a good, honest life could accomplish
both and would bring the favored in
dividual to a final welcome and ap.
probation from his maker.

NEW DEAL ON IN KENTUCKY.
Coy. Bradley to Appoint Either Yerkes
or Wood March s.
Especial to the POST }

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2--It lis annoilnc-
ed here ON what appears to be indisputa-
bile authority THAT Gov. Bradley will ap-
point either John w. Yerkes. Of Danyillp
or Maj. A. r. Wood, of Mount Sterling.
Senator March 5.
The only condition under which Wood
may be appointed, 1T is said, is In tie
event that National com mitteema,,
Yeqlles should decline the appointment.
1t is also known that the appointee will
be seated at Washington without much
contest, assurances to that effect hay
been given by prominent national lead
cars of both political parties. The Re
publican Senators want the vote of th,
Kentucky Senator to aid in passing
tariff bill, and Senator Blackburn and the
silver Senators viii be glad enough to
allow him to be seated as it gives Mr..
Blackburn another chance before the
next Legislature, i'm which he would be
almost certain to win.
1t lis claimed here that this plan for
settling the Senatorial muddle is salts
factory at Canton, and was also with all
of the Republican Senators at Washing
ton, except Senator Quay, who strongly
opposed 1t. The deal was entered into
by Gov Bradley mainly for the purpose
Of defeating Congressman Hunter, and
the mtter's friends openly charge the
Governor with being in league with SEN
ator Blackburn and conspir:Dg to secure
his ultimate election. They say, how
ever, that when the Legislature is con-
yened later on, Hunter will be a candidate
before it, and that the combined opposi-
tson will be unable to prevent his election
for the remainder of the term.
Senator Blackburn's heutenants, acting
ON direct instructions from him, are TAX
ing care Of his interests and seeing to it
that out-and-out Blackburn men are put

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH AND
TELEPHONES.

Some of our Republican cotemporaries
State voting for the silver resolutions,
because they embrace a declaration In
favor of government telegraph and
telephones. claiming that this is Popu-
lism. They are simply ignorant of his
tory. The telegraph originally belonged
to the postoffce. 1t was dropped because
the Congress of that day thought it
would not pay. Henry Clay, the great
Whig leader, and Cave johnson, the
Democratic Postmaster General, earnest
ly protested against the telegraph going
into private hands. Since then repeated
efforts to restore it to the potsoffice have
been made, with the support OF Republi-
can and Democratic leaders. The meas
ure to restore it has been reported on by
IL committees, in different Congresses.
Fifteen of these reports have been favor
able, one non-committal, and one slight
ly adverse. The adoption of the tele-
graph and telephones as postoffice bet
terment (now universal in other coun-
tries), has been prevented in our country
by dilatory tactics of the lobby, which is
powerful in Washington as in Raleigh.
The corporations fear nothing so much as
an aye ana ~ vote. The Populists are
entitled to credit for supporting this meas
ure, so plainly in the public interest, but
they did not originate it. and have by no
means been either its sole oF its most
earnest supporters.

Gratis the State has sent to Congress in
the last twenty-five years:
Il am glad you are making such Il
strong fight against the lease, but fear
the Railway lobby Will buy up enough
Republicans and Populists to con

Yesterdays Kinston Free Press, one
of the strongest and ablest papers in the
State, contained the following:
"rhere will he a big fight in the
Legislature over the bill to annul the
lease of the North Carolina Railroad
TO the Southern for 90 years. We
believe that the lease ought to be
annulled We fear it will not be-
that this Legislature will be c0ntroll-
ed by the railroad men. There are so
many men in this Legislature so east
ly purchased"

reelection that this is the estimate placed
by unprejudiced men on this Legislature
The scandalous proceedings that marked
the Senatorial struggle, which the Pro
gressive Farmer called "the most infa-
nous in our history has caused the
people to believe that there are enough
purchasable men in the Legislature to
make it possible for corporations to CON
troll it. IF they can secure Populist
votes to elect a gold man TO the Senate,
why can't they get enough to defeat the
bill TO repeal the leaseT' is the question

time been fighting for the minority stock

Washington, Feb. 3.-The Senate bill
for an international monetary conference,
which is being pushed by Republican
Senators, will be considered tomorrow by
the House Committee on Coinage, to
which it was referred, and members OF
the committee expect that it will be re-
ported to the House without much oppo-
sition. There was some contention on
the part Of different committees for ju-
risdictiOn over the matter. The Foreign
Affairs Committee claimed the right, as
it had charge Of tie question when it was
last agitated in Congress, and members
Of that committee served on the Brussels
conference.
The Coinage Committee has a large
free silver contingent, including one Re

independent, Hartman, of Montana, but
they are not likely TO oppose the plan.

WILL WATSON GET THE PRICE?


The Charleston News and Courier's
Washington special says:
..Senator Buffers attack on Tom
Watson this morning, in which the
latter is openly charged with interfer-
ing in North Carolina's Senatorial
contest, gives additional color to the
oft-repeated and frequently denied as
sertion that the committee on election
proposes to report in favor Of Wat
son in return for his services to the
Republican party In the last Presi-
dential contest, in addition to his ser
vices in behalf of Senator Pritchard
in North Carolina"
There may be said to be some doubt
whether such Republicans as Judge
Daniels, chairman of the committee on
Privileges and Elections, viii be a party
to the trade, but the people win always
believe that Watson's interference in the
Senatorial election in North Carolina was
the result of bargain with the leading
Republicans, and that they have promised
him his seat in Congress. 1t would serve
him right now if they cannot deliver the
goods.
