BOND ISSUES.

May De Averte0 by Using the Means
at Hand.
Atlanta Constitution.
cit is manifest" says Mr.. McKin-
ley, "that we must devise some plan
to protect the government against
bond issues for repeated redemp-
tions." The plan was devised while
Mr.. Mckinley was in congress, and
he helped devise it. 1t was a very
good plan until Mr.. Cleveland de,ib-
erately violated the law. That plan
Mr.. Mckinley may see written on the
face of every bond and obligation
issued by the government, except the
silver certificates. These obligations
are redeemable in coin-gold or silver
and not in gold alone. There was
never any hint from any quarter
that the bonds and demand obliga-
tions of the government were re-
deemable in gold until Mr.. Cleveland
turned the treasury over to the gold
syndicate to be looted. From 1879,
when speciepayments-not gold pay
ments-vere resumed, to 1898, a
period of fourteen years, there we're
no raids on the treasury, no demands
that the government should supply
gold for export.
Why? Because the international
bankers we'll knew that such q de-
mand would be refused. A threat OF
that sort was made when Cleveland
was first elected, buG he had for his
secretary of the treasury Mr.. Mann
ing, of New York, who gave the
plunderers to understand that the
first demand for gold for export
would be met by silver payments.
The result was that the banks not
only furnished the gold themselves,
but began to pay it into the treasury
in exchange for greenbacks. They
refused to monkey with the Manning
buzz-saW.

Educational Qualification.


An educational qualification is in
order in North Carolina. II all
voters must be able to read and
write it will stimulate the education
al movement, and cause the whites
to be as active in education as the
Degroes. The negro illiterates are
thought to outnumber the whites by
some 10000. 1t is really highly
discre ditable to North Carolina that
in A. d. 1897, there are As, 900 white
electors who can not read their bal
lots. There have been common
schools In North Carolina from about
1S46-fifty one years ago. With
this lower state education it seems
that nearly so, 900 voters have eth
er refused or neglected to avail them
selves of the opportunities and ad-
vantages offered. Let us have an
educational test. In New England
there is such q test or qualifica tion
as there is In Mississippi and possibly
another southern state. Georgia
will have one and North Carolina
should have one.

No More
Rheumatism

It is absolutely impossible to
have rheumatism = the Blood
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason SO
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because the y
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime. but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.

was wounded, and his head was cut oil and

over 100 men were killed in the village, but
Merchand's soldiers assert that the number
was not more than % or 90. After the battle
tho village was burned.
Continuing their march. the villages along
the Manyanga road were surrounded ut
