There is some argument against
free silver, as we'll as for it, but
these arguments are not urged by
the contractionists. The plutocrats
oppose free silver because it would
enlarge the money volume to some
extent. The silver dollar and the
gold dollar would become cheaper,
and that is just what they don't
want. There is this against silver,
and it is equally against gold: The
silver costs too much. A hundred
million of dollars coined of silver
will supply to that extent the need
of more money, but in issuing the
money under free coinage the Gov
eminent does not get a cent. 1t all
goes to the silver owner, whereas if
the 100 million dollars were made
of paper the Government would
get nearly all of it, and with it
could build and equip four thous-
and miles of railroads for the ben
eft of the people, and the paper
money would be just as good as the
silver or gold for the exchange of
commodities; just what money was
made for, and every time the Gov
eminent coins gold it Just simply |
gives to the gold owner that which |
it should retain for all the people. !

A COSTLY CORK.

Corking bottles has not heretofore
been considered a warlike operation,
but the science of war is changing
and we do not know from day to day
what to expect. One of the modern
methods of disposing of hostile
fleet is to bottle it up, and after it is
bottled up it must be corked up, and
corking seems to be more expen-
sive matter than bottling. 1t is
much easier to pour cider or cham
pagne into a bottle than it is to put
in cork that will keep it there. The
Spanish admiral bottled himself in
Santiago harbor and left to Commo-
dore Schley nothing to do but apply
the cork. The cork used was the old
steamer Merrimac, which cost the
government Il large sum, variously
stated from one hundred Thousand to
three hundred and sixty thousand
dollars. That a cork of such costly
nature was used gives us a hint of
the expensive character of war.
And we cannot estimate in dollars
and cents the value of the eight
heroes with which the old vessel was
freighted as she went into the neck
of the bottle. There is such general
lOv that the brave men who seemed
to be going to certain death escaped
with their lives that other matters
are overlooked. One of these mat
ters is the price paid for the Merri-
mac. 1t is freely said that this yes
sci was only an old hulk, with worn
out machinery, and was only fit for
this use-to be sunk as an obstacle
to navigation. In addition to this
costly cork it may be estimated that
the combined fleet of Sampson and
Schley in front of Santiago costs
several hundred thousand dollars a
week in addition. War is glorious,

RICHMOND PEARSON HOBSON.
The Hero of Santiago-He Is a Mort h
CaroIinian by lnheritance-A
Sketch of Him and his
Ancestors.
Correspondence Charlotte Observer

Correspondence CnarlOCte OOServer.)
Salisbury, June 5.-The heroic
deed of Richmond Pearson Hobson,
in sinking the ship Merrimac in San
tiago harbor, not only places his name
high ''on the musty rolls the ages
keep but sheds undying luster upon
North Carolina, which, like a loving
mother, claims him as her son, al
though he was born in another State.
How we'll founded is the Old North
States claim to Hobson and share
in his glory your correspondent pro-
poses to show.
James NJ. Hobson, father of Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, was born and
reared in Davie county, North Caro-
lima, and graduated at the State
University in 1858. He moved to
Alabama, and is now judge of the
Superior Court in that State. The
young mans mother is daughter Of
the late Chief Justice Pearson, of
this State, who prior to her marriage
to Mr.. Hobson, was Miss Sallie Pear
son, of Richmond Hill, Yadkin county,
North Carolina. Mrs. Hayne Davis,
of Statesville, is Mr.. Hobson's aunt,
and is daughter of Chief Justice
Pearson, and sister of Congressman
Pearson. Hobson's relatives, most
of them cousins, in Davie county, are
numerous, in Salisbury, Mr.. A. H.
Price and Mrs VIM. Blackmer are
his first cousins; Mr. Samuel Hobson,
Of Cleveland, is his uncle, as is Mr..
Henry Hobson, of Davie. His grand
mother is Mrs. Ann Hobson, of Davie,
who is sister of the late Governor
John NJ. Morehead. Richmond Pear
son Hobson may be an Albanian by
birth, but he is North Carolinian n
by blood.
