qsred in locating enterprises along the
line Of the road.
Practical remarks were made by
Meyers. J. T. Burke, ]. F. Muir, J. W.
Nav scd others as to the best means Of
promoting the city's interests.
Mr Harlow suggested that in times
past the city had engaged in manufac-
turing pursuits, but those who had
subscribed to the stock did not under
stand The business in which they had
embarked, and it had become neces.
sarv to employ people from other
cities. As q consequence such enter
prises and had been short-lived. He
now thought the time had come for the
establishment of industrial schools in
this State, and that the legislature
should be urged to establish poly
technic school in Alexandra. Mr..
Harlow also spoke of an interview ne
and Col. Andrews, of the Southern
Railway, had with the officials of that
road some years ago. The object was
to interest them 10 the project of ex-
tending the Manassas branch to the
West Virginia coal fields. He thought
q movement with this end in view
should be made now.
On motion of Mr.. Carne it was re-
solyed that the dues owing by mem.

weekly meetings of the league be held
from now until the first of January, at
which time a special meeting be held
when it could be determined whether

A SHALLOW PRETExT

During the late presidential campaign
there was no intimation that Major
Mckinley was not an honest man, or
that he would not carry out in good
faith the principles upon which he was
elected.
The platform of his party during that
memorable campaign declared unequi-
vocally for international bimetallism
1t provided as follows:
We are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver, except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading COM
mercial nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote.
That plank of the platform was instru-
mental in securing for the Republican
nominees a large vote of silver Repub-
licans, who were willing to. try for inter-
national bimetallism, believing that it
would be preferable to independent ac-
ton, although doubtful Of its success.
This was the issue on which Major
Mckinley was elected. SO far as the
financial question was concerned. Over
one-eighth of the convention that nomi-
mated that ticket voted for free and
unlimited-coinage-o plank in
stead oft one above quoted. If the con-
stituency -of that one-eishth- had not
voted for Nj. Mckinley. Ar. Bryan
The herald., 1897-07-06

The Chicago Times-H Herald editorially
approves the growing practice of bank
consolidation, and says: when there
limited amount of business, there is
necessarily competition, followed by
risks and chances that too surely result
in failure" Why should there not be
competition in banking as well as in
any other line of business? Why should
general contraction and consolidation
be necessary just as the great wave of
prosperity is humping against our front
doors?

Bribery a National Crime

Bribery is rapidly becoming nationa
crime, and before long America may b:
almost as bad in that respect as China
which is said to be the most corrupt
country on the face of the earth. Brib-
cry is being reduced to a fine art. The
lawmaker may be a lawyer. If so he
accepts a retainer from a corporation
which he is expected to serve. Thai
bnys his vote. Lawmakers who are moi
lawyers are purchased in other ways
which the lobbyist understands, and the
transactions are conducted in such 2
manner as to render conviction impos-
sble if an arrest is ever made.-Cleve-
land Leader.
