THE MINER AND THE FARMER

The man who gets wealth from Ma
lures bountiful store by mining gold
silver, copper, iron or coal has inter
ests in no way dissimilar to the farmer
who tills the soil and raises wheat,
corn, oats, rye or barley. The rela-
lions between them are close and in
dissoluble. The one cannot do without
the other. The miners of West Vir-
GINA, Lake Superior and the Rocky
mountains must be fed from the farms
of the country.
The gold and silver and the iron and
copper of the barren rocks of the north
land or the great western mountains
can be made to add as much to the
wealth OF our country as the farms
One is as essential as the other, they
are correlated. AS mining is fostered.
as gold and silver are produced, as
iron and copper are mined and used,
so we may mark the prosperity of our
country. The mining industries are
o WV SohouAClo VI WuCdI, llIllDcI,
steel, iron, coal, clothing and provis-
ions of all kinds. The history of
Greece. of Rome, of Europe, to say
that the pr prosperitSy~ Ct fRR'ss People was
coordinate with the production OF
metals: therefore, it follows fha' any
policy WHICH ignores the production
Of the metals is detrimental to the
growth and prosperity of the county.
To strike down any one Of the metals
from the great uses which it mas been
given, is to strike down prosperity
in a corresponding degree.
Everyone knows that it is use that
makes value; the great use of copper
associated with the discovery and the
application of electricity has kept the
price of copper up and induced and
promoted it's production. The large
use of steel in the construction of
buildings is constantly fostering the
mining industry of the ore producing
districts. If the same policy had been
| pursued of utilizing all the silver that
| is produced in our own country or else
where in the world, as money, side by
side with gold great impetus would
have been given to all mining indus
tries and a corresponding help to every
other industry.
These are facts that cannot be ig-
nored. The gold standard may remain
at a very great cost to all the people ex-
cept the owners of fixed capital and
yet bimeta1iism, as a principle, viii
remain in economics as sound as i
was when adopted by the founders o.
our government and made the basi:
of our monetary system.

STOP THE RUSH,

People have been warned many
times by the most experienced men and
judges to keep out of the Klondike at
least until the winter comes and goes,
but the rush continues, just the same.
AS the St. Louis Republic says, some
means should be adopted to stop it,
for it is sheer insanity and suicide.
1t is certain from all the testimony
Klondike is already greater than the
supplies now there can maintain until
spring. The population has spruns
from a few hundred to several thousand
within the past six months, while the
carrying capacity Of the only means

for pack trains to convey more pro-

the absolute needs OF the trip, SO that
It IS safe to assume that nearly all

plenishing the larders at Dawson will

LIFE WITHOUT LOVE.

At THE Private Secretary tonight,
Miss Hyatt will sing a song composed by
Mr.. Arthur G. Lewis, of Norfolk, Va,
These are the words:
Life without love is like day without
sunshine,
Roses bereft Of sweet natures perfume;
Love is the guide mark to those who are
weary
or waiting and watching in darkness
and gloom.
Love, to the heart, is like dewdrops TO
yiolets,
Left on the dust-ridden roadside to die,
Love leads the way to our highest en-
deavors,
Lighters and lessons the pain of each
sigh.
Life without love is like spring without
flowers,
Brook-streams that move not, or star
bereft sky.
Love creates efforts most worthy and
noble,
Prompts us to live and resigns MS to die

portatiOn

portatiOn.
What do our livery stable men think
OF running line of Herdicks in place Of
the street cars? 1t would seem to us a
paying enterprise. We hope some pub
lie spirited person will look into the mat
ter and set the bail in motion. In Wash
ington City, there are many Herdick
lines which run with the regularity OF
street cars, while all VINO attended the
Atlanta Exposition can appreciate both
the convenience and comfort Of this
of transit
The loss OF the electric plant was in
deed a disaster to our city, loss which
there seems little hope OF replacing in
time for the use of visitors during the
Legislature. Shall the capital city return
to village life, while our sister towns are
all activity?
Why should not the Board OF Alder
men require the street car company to
hitch horses to their cars and run them
on half hour schedules?

The Populist Senator Not Vet Ready
Concede Pritchard's Election
Both Skinner and Butler Spoke
ar the Caucus Last Night.

The fight between Butler and Pritchard
has been transferred to a contest be-
tween Butler and Skinner for party SUI
premaey. And a hot one it is. One could
almost see the heat waves quiyering in
the air around the Park Hotel yester-
day.
All day long the friends and hackers
of the parties in the fight came and went
and came again-telling of wars and ru-
mors of wars. Every move of the one
was checked by a counter move of the
other.
Last night, at midnight, | took an in
ventory, as best / could of the result of
the days doings. | am sure that the out
look was much less favorable for Pritch-
ard than it was on the night before.
This / attribute to three causes.
First, the publication of the names of
Populist members who were in favor of
Pritchard.
Second, the strong Pritchard speech
made by Col. Harry Skinner in the Pop
alist caucus Tuesday night and his boast
as to how many votes he could deliver
ever to the Republicans.
Third, the fact that Senator Butler is
aroused and is calling every man TO ac-
count for his surrender of principle for
patronage.
Altogether yesterday was q bad day
for Pritchard and he did not sleep well
last night. But his crowd is by no
means beaten and they are stiH merrily
whistling, led by Col. Skinner, to keep
their courage up.
EVERYBODY WAS MAD.
To the great surprise of the PopulistS
and the intense disgust of the Republi-
cans, Congressman Skinner yesterday
morning made public, through the News
and Observer, some names of Populists
who, he said, had expressed their deter
animation to support Pritchard. Both of
them joined In denunciation Of the spell
binder" The men whose names were in
the black list, said Skinner had betrayed
them and made them target for ridicule
and dark insinuations. The Republicans
said that Skinner was drunk at the
time and didn't know what he was doing.
Between the two the Colonels reputation
wasn't worth much when they got
through with it last night.
Ohio Wilson is reported to have said
that the publication of the names was a
mistake on the part of Pritchard's
friends; that nobody but a drunken fool
would have given them out My inform
ant says he added: Il am only sorry that
/ did not furnish the whiskey for him
to get drunk on
Both sides wed with one another in
abusing him, but it was Butler who act
ed He made up his mind at once: Be
fore 10 o'clock he had sent Hal Aver
to see nearly all whose names were on the
list, and all but two of them had either
denied that they would vote for Pritch-
ard under any circumstances or in some
way modified the statement given out by
Congressman Skinner. By II o'clock the
following editorial was written and will
appear this morning in the Caucasian:
A ISLANDER ON THE PEOPLES
PARTY.
There appeared in the News and OBJ
server this morning, "wednesday just as
the Caucasian is going to press, list
of sixteen Populist members OF the Leg
islature (six Senators and ten Represen-
tatives) who, it is claimed, will bolt the
Peoples party caucus to support Mr.
