PROF. T. G. MILLER, who was NOM

Superintendent of Schools, is one of
the best-known educators in West
Virginia, well fitted by his high char

ONE of the Republican candidates
for Judge of the Supreme Court of
West Virginia is George Pofinbarger,
late sheriff of Mason county. Some
persons may be bit squeamish about
putting him on the supreme bench, but
our Republican friends assure us that
if he is elected he will at once read up
Blackstone so as to fit himself for this
important position.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

To the Editor:-Business men in the
South are receiving from Northern bro
kers and bankers, with letters offering
bonds or stocks for sale in some "fakir"
swindling concern, slips which purport
to give the opinions of the late Jefferson
Davis and T, H. Benton, fifty or sixty
years since, when the government issued
no currency, but merely coined gold, sill
yer and copper, all of which was legal
tender for its face value. If this does
convey the opinions of President Davis
and T. H. Benton what does that amount
to. 1t recalls a conversation I remember
which occurred about fifty years ago, be-
tween the late Hon. Geo. E. Badger and
Col Whitaker who then represented Wake
in the Legislature. There was a dis
cussion of the money question, and Col.
Whitaker asked Judge Badger what was

Auction Sale

On the seventh of November, in this pres
ent year of grace,
At the Capitol in Raleigh, will sell
The finest circus turnout that was ever
in the place;
For the business with us has gone to-
well.
If Barnum was a-living he would take it
as whole,
And he'd think he had a bargain that
would take;
For no such aggregation ever gathered
round a pole,
And the Sawdust King would surely
take the cake.
Our paid-up interest in old Dan we offer
you;
He's the trained kicking donkey Of the
show.
He has a bullying barrel. and supple
hook for true;
And the way he kicks his keeper is a go.
And here's the artful dodger, dub him
Mary Ann, for brief;
(Old Baylus, he cuts no fgure-not a
thing);
But with all his tricks and lodging, of
late he came to grief,
From running two directions in the
ring.
Here's our little Zebra Cy-Just as cute
as he can be:
He can change his stripes, to suit the
looker-on;
But "Old Crimes" he wern't so dead, as
the Doctor now can see,
And the striped cuss now wears done
up brown
The Jumbo of the outfit that leadeth the
parade
Though | cannot turn him over right
away;
But I'll put Jeter in, as / wish to close
the trade
The reversionary interest, anyway.
Now, all you organ grinders, who have
lost your little pets,
Don't fail to get sight of little Sam.
The Durham boys can tell you, who have
lost their little bets,
That in politics he isn't worth a
dram.
The too-tedious- to- mention l will offer
in a lot
The tow-headed, braying Spencer you
will get.
Almost anything in this line you can get
upon the spot;
And then my place of business is

AN ARTISTS PROPHETIC VISION.

(Joe Oil in Atlanta Constitution.)
Here is genuine story-the real thing.
L. is vouched for by two of the most
prominent Federal office holders, and it
is not told for political effect as both of
the men who tell it are of the admins
tration faith.
These two eminent Americans were
abroad short while ago and were do
ing the famous art galleries together
Ope of them is a judge. the other SEN
ator In one of the large galleries they
became separated temporarily and while
he was gazing at particularly fetching
nymph or Venus or some other undressed
lady of note, the judge heard his name
called.
Come over here and look at this, "
called the Senator
The judge complied. "Who is this a
picture off" asked the Senator.
Why, responded the judge drawing
nearer, sit looks TO me very much like
Mark Hanna
'Of course. it does; it's the image of
him if it were a portrait by Sargent, ;"
replied the Senator. Lets look IL up
and see who it is
Thereupon they went to consulting their
catalogue-the pictures not being named.
but numbered-and they found that this
picture, which they both agreed was the
breathing image of Mark Hanna, was the
work OF famous artist long since dead
and was that artists allegorical ideal of
Mammon.
That's true story. The place where
the picture hangs will be furnished the
Republican national committee on appli-
cation.

Democratic Congress to back him. we
will have gold, silver, nickel. copper and
paper dollars that will be worth 100 cents
for each dollar issued by the government
Or in other words, repeal the act OF
1878, which demonetized everything but
gold, and that has ceased to be a circu-
lating medium, the silver certificate or
any other money issued by the general
government, and paid to the laboring
man, should buy as much to go ITO his
dinner bucket, dollar for dollar, as the
bankers brokers' or bloats' trust gold

purchases abroad, our exports will ad-
just those matters. If it does not. with
the above changes in our laws gold would
not be above par and no citizen would

APPLAUSE MADE TO ORDER.
Advance Copies Of Roosevelts Speech Distri-
buted to the Newspapers.
(Rnstnn Pnstl

(BOSUOn POSt.)
1t will be seen, by those who read in
Republican papers Wednesday morning
the report of Governor Roosevelt's speech
at ST. Louis Tuesday night, that it was a
great popular success; that cheers and
applause and laughter and friendly shouts
lpunctuated every paragraph in it's delivery;
that the Rough Rider candidate aroused
his audience almost to a frenzy of en-
thusiasm. 1t must have been a great
speech. The people of st. Louis must
have been stirred tremendously by Teddys
eloquence.
But all this has been known for sew
eral days in newspaper offices, to which
Governor Roosevelt has sent, through the
Associated Press, advance copies of his
speech with the enthusiasm of the au
dience typewriter in along with his own
fervid phrases. Before the speech was
delivered, it was known to all who had
copies of Governor Roosevelt's prophetic
revision that when he had spoken two
paragraphs there would be applause and
laughter in brackets That three SEN
fences further along would occur CHEERS
and laughter" That renewed laughter
would break forth at frequent intervals.
That, as the orator warmed up, the audi
ence would burst into general laughter
and cheers" That when he spoke of
courage in staying to do our duty in the
Philippines his hearers could no longer
restrain themselves. but emitted loud
cheering and cries of Good! Good"
Further than this, Governor Roosevelt
discerned by his prophetic vision several
days ago that when he mentioned the fact
that he was elected last year over Van
Wyck his audience at ST. Louis would re-
spond with applause and cries of 'Goodl
Good! You will be elected again'"
All this and much more of the same sort
Governor Roosevelt foresaw would be said
and done by the people of st. Louis when
he should come to let loose his eloquence
upon them. And SO he carefully inserted
ffty-three of these chunks of enthusiasm
in the advance copies of his speech pre-
pared for the press. 1t is vivid, strenu-
Gus, in fact: but doesn't it SAVIOR of the
methods of the charlatan?

A GREAT CITY PARK
Judge Clark Makes Four In
teresting Suggestions
An Air Line Railroad to Washington, Extension
Of Mills Road To Fayetteville. A Great
Park, and Extension Of Boundary.

Josephus Daniels, Esq, President Cham
Der of Commerce:
In answer to your inquiry, what steps
would advance the interest of the city
of Raleigh, it would easy to point out
many, but l will mention three or four
of those most apparent.
/. An airline railroad from this city
to Washington, N. c., would place us in
connection with our nearest seaport
Such a railroad would be about 100 miles
in length and would pass Through or near
Wilson and Greenville. and most fertile
country all the way. 1t would for the
greater part of its length run through a
very level country and would require light
grading. BY giving the interior of the
Stale water connection with New York
and all foreign ports, it would make Raj
eigh a competing point and materially
reduce freight rates, which are far higher
over Southern railroads than over any
others in the Union-a discrimination
which is doing more to retard the pro-
gress and development of the South than
all other causes combined. Cheap trans
portation is the first element of progress.
At some future day, the airline from
Washington N c., once completed would
extend itself from Raleigh to Salisbury,
through Pittsboro and Asheboro, shorten
ing the distance to that and all points
west of it some 80 miles.
2. The railroad now running down
through southern Wake should be ex-
tended to Fayetteville, some 60 miles
from Raleigh, thus giving us for most of
the year the competition of water rates
at our nearest river port Mr.. Mills,
the public spirited manager of that road,
is already giving the public rate of
one cent per mile for passenger, proving
that he is up-to-date. With water COM
petition at both Fayetteville and Wash
ington, N c., the consequent reduction
of rates to Raleigh and adjacent terri
tory would give us an advantage which
eighwould quickly double our population.
3. Another necessity for the growth of
the city is a great park, such as all pros
porous cities possess. This work should
be laid out now, for it takes time. The
city is grateful to the late Stanhope Pull
len, who Except Mr.. Raney) was the most
liberal citizen in his donations to the
city whom We have had, for his donation
of Pullen Park, but what he started can
be largely added to. Any one who will
climb to the upper story of the main
building at the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College and look out south
east, will see a vast body of forest land,
reaching from the Hillsboro road clear
across to the Rhamkatte road, which is
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-10-21

largely unoccupied, unimproved, and in
accessible. This land is in one contigu-
GUS tract and belong to the State and
the city. 1t is composed of the lands of
the Hospital for the Insane, the peniten-
tiary, Pullen Park and the A. and NJ. Col
lege. lit would not interfere with the
use of these lands for their present uses
if by act of the Legislature the whole
were thrown into one great park and
opened up to the public by carriage drives
and footpaths from end to end, laid out
with an eye to beauty by competent land
scape gardeners, the underground clear
ed away and the ground sown with blue
grass. 1t would cost the State nothing
and the addition of so large and hand
some a park to the city would add to its
astractiveness. The State has now near
ly 100000 inhabitants which will in
crease with each coming year. Steps
should be taken that the capital city of
so great a people should always be a
source of pride to them. We must plan
for the generations that are to follow us,
If we wish title to their remembrance
and gratitude.
4. Lastly Raleigh does not figure as
high as it should in the list of cities,
because, probably, third of it's popula-
ton live outside of the city boundaries,
designated several decades ago. While
this suburban population enjoy the ad-
vantages of the city, they contribute moth
ing to the support of it's government nor
to it's figures in the census. If the Board
of Commerce should ask an extension of
our limits, there can be no doubt that
our two able and progressive represen-
tatives-Messrs. Broughton and Simms-
could, with such backing procure the pas
sage Of this muchneeded measure.
