HAS STOLEN c. NJ. COOKIES JOKE
(Washington POST

Representative John Allen, of Tupelo
has given a new application to an old
story. 1t is the tale of the negro who
baked a 'possum, went to sleep beside il
and when Ike awoke the 'p0ssum was
gone.
About the time the 'poSsum was
done" said Mr.. Allen, another slick
little darky slipped in and stole his pos
sum and ate it all up. Then he took the
bones, put them down in front of the
ORR man, CREASED his lips with 'possum
grease, and put 'poSsum grease over his
fingers. When the old man woke up he
looked and his 'possum was gone. He
saw the bones lying in front of him. He
saw 'possum grease ON his fingers and
he tasted 'pOsSum grease on his lips, and
he said: We'll, can it be possible dat |
eat dat 'pOssum while | was asleep? II
do look like / must have eat him, but
'fo' God, dat 'posSum had less effect on
my constitution dan any 'possum | ever
befo' eat Now says Allen to his Re-
publican friends, ''yOu tell us about pros
perity and show figures that look like
prosperity, but, 70 God, this prosperity
has less effect ON my constitution than
any prosperity ever had in my life"

SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Bankers are no better and no worse
than other men. They know mere about
discounts. loans and securities because
it is their business to study these mat
ters but outside of these things bankers
know no more about the greater ques-
tions of finance than other well in
formed men. As a matter OF fact they
are not the proper men to plan a finan-
cial system any more than manufac-
turers in protected industries are the
proper men to write tariff laws. The
manufacturers framed the Dingley bill
and 1T is Il great burden on everybody
except those in the protected industries.
Under Secretary Gage, the bankers con
troll the financial policy of the country.
Naturally they are moving to secure the
retirement of all grenbacks. Why? In
may be turned over TO them. and then
they win regulate the quantity in the
way that pays them best.
sThe Indianapolis Sentinel, edited by
Hon. s. q. Morss, who was consul gene
ral.-to Paris under Mr.. Cleveland. upon
the occasion of the recent meeting of the
Monetary Conference in Indianapolis,
called attention to facts that ought
to be kept always in mind, saying:
Let it be remembered that every
man IN these United States, who
is self-supporting is business man
and lihasT Just as great a stake in the
prosperity and welfare of the country
rs. amy banker manufacturer or CAPT
talist whatsoever. Let it be further
remembered that large majority of

Questions, including men high in place
and power in England, France and Ger
many, most of the professors of pc
litical economy in the great English
and continental institutions of learning
and nearly all the great manufacturers
in the United Kingdom, are bimetal-
lists and Believe in double stand
ard. Let it be further remembered
that with one or two exceptions, every
President of the United States and
every great parliamentary and party
leader in our history have been sup

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
DENIAL OF FREE SPEECH,
BASKERVILLE CitiZen.l

The Republican party of North Caro-
lima has widely and nOisily proclaimef
that it is for fair elections.
Fair and free elections are the on+.
ward and visible sign, the elimination
of free political thought and speech
Hence any attempt TO control voters
speech by other pressure than argu.
ment is a denial of the free political
speech that leads to Il free vote
j. Wiley Shook spoke the minds of
thousands OF Republicans ats well as his
own mind, when he pointed out, and
proved by the record, that the opposition
of certain Congressman to civil service
reform was insincere and hollow. 70,
this and other expressions of opinion
within the right Of a free man to make
J. Wiley Shook is deprived of his office
and in mighty cold weather, too.
That is the kind of free and fair cleo.
tions the Republican leaders in North
Carolina want. If a man ventures ia
cI.ticise their public position-off with
his head.
Remember, Shook did not criticise his
super:ors in the service he was employed
in; only those public servants whose
course was obviously inSincere.
If the Republicans of North Carolina
had the spirit of free men i'll them they
would demand Shocks reinstatement.

sTRADDLERS WILL TAKE NOTICE.

The Washington Star says truly That
the vote on the Teller resolution straight
cncd party lines wonderfully. Referring
10 the Republicans it says:
"Quite a number of men in the House
as in the Senate. have been trying TO
make it appear that they could be sill
yer men and gold standard men at the
same time. and have wanted the all
ministration and the party in Congress
to occupy straddle attitude in order
to make it easy for them TO stand on
two platforms at the same time"
The Star is right in saying that the
Teller resolution makes it plain that
straddling is at an end and demon
strates that ''the Republican party Is
not going to adopt the do something for
silver policy in order to help states
men who want to stand well with the
silver people and the Republicans at
the same time"
The Star is also correct in saying lat
the vote is proof that neither party will
depart from the position assumed in
1896 and re-assumed in the Teller vote
either in the Congressional elections OF
in the next Presidential election.
All of this is like wormwood and
gail to Prjtchard, Linney, and the other
straddlers.

BANKS THEN AND NOW.
Wilmington Messenger.l

Mr.. +. Il. Rose states that at Fay
etteyille there is now but one bank
while prior to the war there were -four
banks with u capital of 81, 100000. ii,
gives this in a letter to The BaltimoFs
Manufacturers Record, which says this
by way of comment:
I'VE refer to this statement merely
to call attention to the difference in,
the Sonth as TO banking facilities at
present and fifty years ago, AMI to
make the suggestion that financiers
who are interested in the solution of
the currency problem will make no
mistake if they study conditions IN
some States under the old State
banking system"
We notice that in 1860, New Yori
State had very nearly as much banking
capital rs the whole South had. 1t hat
Sill, 441 800. the South's $117,000.000
Massachusetts came next with $64, 80,
200. The distribution of money has
been always very unequal in this lanC
of the free"

THE TENNESSEE CONTEST BIOGRAPHY
FIGURED IN TT.

The Tennessee deadlock resulted IN the
election of Mr.. Turley, whose term will
expire in 1901. The term OF Senator
Bate will expire next year. 1t seems
that, though not having enough votes
to elect himself, Governor Taylor could
throw his support and dictate the result.
Senator Turley owes his election, as
we'll as his appointment, therefore, to
Governor Taylor.
The geographical question: defeated
McMillin. He lives in Middle Tonnes
see. in the same Congressional district
with Senator Bate. The people Of East
Tennessee have not had a Senator since
the days of Andrew johnson. They
want Governor Taylor, and they Thought
he could win easier next year by elect
ing Turley from tlle extreme end of
the State than by permitting McMillin
is for him and TURKEY to join forces and
make it East and West against Middle
Tennessee. Bate and McMillin viii
have to be reckoned with before that
big contract can be carried out.
1t would be interesting TO trace the
influence of geography on the election
Of United State Senators. In the old
days before the war, both Senators from
North Carolina at one time lived ill
Orange county. Under Republican rule
in $50, both Senators We're from the
eNtrcne East. Beginning in 1879, the
Democrats divided electing Merrimon
and Vance from the West and Ransom
form the East Ine appointment Of
Governor Jarvis to succeed the late
Senator Vance was resented solely on
geographical lines. At present, Senator
Pritchard, though an vast Tennessecan,
in birth and in life and in policy, lives
in the extreme West, and Senator But
hers nome is in the East. Their sue
cessors will Ike elected largely with ref
erence to geography. 1t Is true that the
ablest men ought always to be chosen
even if geographical location is ignored
but the time will hardly come again
when the people of any section can h
convinced that the other end of the
State is alone fertile in the production
of senatorial timber.

OPINION OF AN EMINENT JUR1sT

Ballot reform in New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent jurist, because
mere politicians by trade who had no
interest in government or politics eX-
cept to enrich and aggrandize them
selves sought perpetual control. There
are other excellent reforms besides that
OF the ballot. Conspicuous among them
Is the reform, promptly and thoroughly
effected, in a disordered physical system
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
counteracts tendencies to serious disease
bred by deficiency of vital stamina, ir-
regularity of the bowels, stomach, liver
or kidneys, and inquietude cf the nerves.
This sterling medicine, which has for
near half century won because it de-
serves popular favor, is commended by
physicians of eminence who accord il
their approval, not only for it's excellent
qualities IN remedial capacity. but
also for its serviceable properties as a
medicinal stimulant. 1t soothes and
strengthens the nerves,and is far prefer
able TO the heady, unmedicated stimuli
Of commerce.

A JUST REBUKE.
cgTattler' in Catizen.l

Some Rev. Ramsey in South Carolina
is reported as having said in sermon
not long ago that the vice of lying is
not condOned by reputable people, un-
less it be in the case of some newSpa-
per men, who seem to he accorded the
privilege of writing without being an
noyed by such small and stubborn things
as facts" If the Rev. Ramsey spent
half as much time looking after facts as
the ordinary newspaper man does he
would probably not preach oftener than
sem-annually.
