SENATOR DANIEL HAS SPOKEN.

On the first page of this issue will be
found what he has said after much
goading by the press, and he has
neither affirmed nor denied anything.
1t has been stated through the press
that the Senator is opposed to VIM. j.
Bryan. Whether he had said SO in
private or in public was not the ques-
ton which interested the people, that
is the Democratic people of the coun-
try, but the fact itself. His statement
| heretofore referred to is the manner
| OF the Senator's unbosomipg himself
through the New York World, AID
while we are willing to give him the
benefit of the dou bit, still his utter
ances in the article are not reassuriny
1t is also fact that since lie has MADE
this public st atement. the Republican
and Gold Bug press have commeudt
the WISDOM and foresight of the
Senator, while the Democratic press
has not showered compliments of this |
character on him. One Gold Bug paper
referring to the article editorially
says: Major Daniel concludes by
saying, 1 see no encouragement to
Democrats in the recent elections
This means of course with the party
as Col. Bryan and his Populst associ-
ates are heading it," Thus are Sena-
,or Daniels words translated. He is
made to condemn Bryan and his pop !
Hist associates" He is made to cast
lurs upon those men who have the
courage to stand by Mr.. Bryan as
heir ideal of man and leader. We
re not SO sure that the translation
iven by the Republican and Gold Bug
ress is strained. The proof seems +
trong in their favor. There was no
special reason why the Senator should
this time speak at all, if his words
e true when be says, Il know no more il
Ian the general public, being con- G.
'antly occupied in matters to be p
ealt with now, and have no sugges- il
ons or advice to offer which 1 think e,
orthy of attention" The day NAV b
rive when he will regret that he u
oke either in private or in public on h
lls subject when he had '.no5hin @ to re
y worthy of attention" Most men A
come so when they speak under such
ndltlons, and so many speak thus. r.;

W. ID. Billy Bynum. who in 1885,
gained considerable noteriety on &C
count of his bolt from the Democratic
party, and afterwards said that Pal.
mer and Buckner were nominated To
aid in the election of the Republican
candidate, VIM. mckinley, to the
presidency, has been rewarded for his
labors by the aforesaid Mckinley, who
on last Saturday gave to the noted
bolter 81 500 job. The position to
which MIR. Bynum was appointed ia
known as that of member of TIE
Board OF General Appraisers at New
York. The law requires that the board
shall be composed of Republicans and
Democrats, and Mr.. Bynum goes on
as Democrat. We have no particular
fault to find with Mr.. Mckinley for
appointing Mr.. Bynum, but we do
draw the line on his calling him a
Democrat. Then, too, Billy does not
deserve any reward for his labors IN
1896, as be was paid $500 year bv
the Republican Aid Society and kept
up his work until sometime after Me-
Kinley's election-i. e.-until the sal.
Try was cut and then Billy patriotism
aused him to take rest. Mr.. Bynum

WILL NOT SURRENDER.

1t is well nigh apparent that the
Democrats who voted for VIM. J. Bry-
an In 1856. and who will vote for him
again in 1900, if nominated, and the
Democrats who strayed away into the
mckinley camp, must part ways The
lost sheep are willing, they say, to re.
turn to the fold, but they must dictate
the terms. They will return if the
Democrats abandon the the Chicago
platform, silver agitation and VIM. j.
Bryan. We do not draw the case
strongly when we assert that on NO
other conditions have we heard one of
them agree to come back. These being
tne terms of return and surrender can
The Democratic party accept them
and retain its organizat ion, much less
its self respect? We think not. II
they must abandon these they had as
well abandon their name and go over
bag and baggage to Hanna and cor
ruption. They had better admit that
war is preferable to peace, that mo-
nopolies are the saviors of the people,
that taxes insure prosperity, and that
all the ideas of Republican govern
ment taught by Washington, Jefferson
or any statesman of ancient or modern
times are misleading, false and dan
gerous. 1t is humiliating to know
that there are some Democrats who are
willing to accept these terms, but we
hope they are few and far between.
As for the masses of the people, the
principles which actuated them in '96
are as present now as then. Their leader
who was only beaten by the combined
army of trusts and corporations, and
the corrupt purchase of votes with a
fund the like of which the world never
saw. and before the enormous deeds
OF which honesty hides her head in
shame, land free government becomes a
mockery, will be again followed by
them, if he again becomes the candi-
date of the Democratic party, followed
with the same devotion, the same con-
seriousness of right, and the same hon
esty OF purpose as actuated them in
the last presidential campaign, when
they saw their honest ballots buried
under mightier pile of dishonest
dollars. The Republican party and
their assistants from the Democratic
party must always hang their heads in
shame when they descend to tie expe-
dent of accomplishing with money
what they could not accomplish by
truthful and patriotic appeals. This
they did, be it said to their shame.
They have not and cannot deny it.
They have tried to condone the offense,
to GEAR their consciences sufficiently
to persuade themselves that the means
Justified the ends, but now when they
ask, or at least the stray sheep from
the Democratic fold, ask the Demo-
Gratis who went not astray. to abandon
their leader, condone the methods by
which they were beaten in '96, re-
nounce their former beliefs in honest
government and decent election meth
DDS, their war on trusts, and in add.
tion forget that any but the rich have
rights, then must we call a halt, and
inform our former friends that on such
terms we ask no surrender ON their
part, ard they must expect none on
ours.

WHEAT AND CORN.

The causes o. the present low prices
OF wheat is subject of discussion. 1t
is attributed to two causes-the large
supply of products and the change in
our currency which has made money
much higher and grain much lower,
for the reason that it takes 50 much
more wheat and corn to get a dollar
than formerly. Wheat, cotton and
corn cannot be worked by trust
tney cannot Combine to raise their
prices, but all the manufactured arti-
cies are now advancing in money value
under trust protection The money
managers have increased The price of
money, and thus depressed the price of
agricultural products, and shield,
under the wings of trust, all the
products OF the trades of the country.
Wheat is consequently lower, aud is
tending downward at present, and
Will, we fear, labor under that copdi-
ZION for some time to come. The farm
er gets less for bis grain, and The trusts
will soon have him paying higher
prices for all the manufactured articles
essential to his farming pursuits.
Mum u Son, in their market price
list, say:
Talk as people will about the world s
crop being $50, 100000 bushels smaller
than last years, speculative public
seem to be Indifferent. both to this and
to the smallness of the receipts at our
primary markets. Small the receipts
undoubtedly are. but at the same time
the visible supply in this country is
100000 bushels against only 17,OOO,-
700 year ago, and the worlds visible
supply on Nov. 1, is stated at 10 less
than 191. 191, 900; 2.sT 900 on Oct. /,
and LOG. 1885, 900 on Nov. 1, 1898. The
increase in Oct. was %, 314 900 bushels,
as against an increase in Sept. of
$500, 900, and in Oct 1898. of 1856
0O0. Yet the world S exports last week
fell off to noteworthy extent, Argen-
tina in particular shipping less freely.
One thing, however, is certain. There
can be no decided or permanent i'm
provement in prices until Europe be-
gins to buy more freely. Corn is well
spoken of, for it pays better to feed it
to live stock than to send to market,
the receipts are light, the visible supply
is only about half as large as at this
time last year and the crop is compare
lively small.

A Double Murderer.

Oscar Flemming. justice of the
peace in Princess Anne county, who
resides near Norfolk city, was arrested
last week on the charge of killing a
young man named Snyder, who was
hunting on his farm. He was tried
and bailed in the sum of 81 600 and re-
turned to his home. Excitement ran
high and mob went to Flemming' 3
house to lynch him. He fired into the
crowd. killing one of the party and
wounding several others. That whole
section of country is in a wild state of
unrest and it is impossible to predict
the outcome of the present trouble.

made In Floyd county which bids fail
to be quite a valuable find. 1t has
long been known that gold has existed
IN this mountainous country, but so
far it has not been found in sufficient
quantities to warrant the working of
it. The assay has been favorably re-

to be broad and continuous.
