' 5. Material and substantial re-
daction of the general expend i-
tnras of the government. For the
fiaoal year ending June 30, 1897,
total expenditures reached the enor-
mous sum of 1448,439,622, or an
excess over all reoeipts of $18,052,-
404, and showing an increase in the
ordinary expenditures over the pre-
ceding year by 913,594,713. L.
many particulars this expenditure
of public money is grossly extrava-
gant and wholly unnecessary, and
the total amount can be reduced
fifty million dollars annually with-
out injury to the public service or
crippling useful public improye-

7; Radical reduction in appro-
for pensions. For the
tbe total expense
for pensions was tbe extraordinary
, and astonishing sum of 9141,058,-
164, manifestly exhibiting flagrant
** extravagance if not profligacy and
corruption. If tbe pension roll be

sively to disabled soldiers and sail-
ors, their widows and dependents,
in need of governmental aid, it will
meet every patriotic demand, re-

the law, past experience shows that
no real good will be accomplished
unless the attorney general of the
United States ia in full accord with
the purpose of the statute, and con-
sequently the nomination of no per-
son to that office should be confirm-
ed by the senate unless he he a man
ot integrity and courage and known
to be determined to guard public
rights against the conspiracies.
This duty is of Buoh graye conse-
qence to the people that their rep-
resentatives in the senate should
not surrender it to so-called cour-
tesy due the president or treat it
with indifference as heretofore.
12. Dealing in cotton futures
should be abolished. The price of
this great staple, the principle pro-
duct of this state, is so depressed as
to render its production unprofita-
ble, and the decided preponderance
of opinion of those whose experi-
ence entitles them to consideration
is that this gambling device is a
faotor in the depression. The tes-
timony taken before the senate
committee on agriculture in 1895
abundantly proves this and the fi-
nancial condition of the cotton
planters is Buoh that any remedy
which promises even partial relief
should be resorted to.

er in tbe form of tariff on imports
or otherwise, should be strictly

limited to the necessities of a sim-
ple government economically ad-
ministered. On the tariff question
I am in principle a free trader as
far as practicable, because, among
other reasons briefly put, such a
policy, in my judgement, would
best Bubeerve the interests of the
people in that (1) it would tend to
enable them to buy in the cheapest
and sell in the dearest markets of
the world; (2) indirect taxation or
tariff duty is a tax on consumption
which wholly disregards equality
of taxation and governmental bene-
fits; and (3; direct taxes in lieu of
tariff duties, by fixing public atten-
tion upon expenditures and taxa-
tion, would force a marked reduc-
tion of expensee and maintain econ-
omy. As long, however, as we may
be oompelled, as under tbe present
constitution, to support the goy-
ernment in large measure by duties
on imports, they should be laid for
purpose*^ revenue only, first upon
luxuries and last upon necessaries
of life. Thus limited and appor-
tioned, such duties, in the language
of the National platform of 1896,
should be Msqf adjusted as to oper-
ate equally throughout the country
and not to discriminate between
olass or sectiofn.” This obviously
refers to the tariff upon products of
different classes and sectitas and
tbe following more explicit state-
ment from the democratic state
platform adopted at Austin, June
24, 1896, expresses my view of the
oasestated: “We believe that the
present tariff law, which lete into
the country raw materials free of
duty and levies heavy duties on
manufactured products, thus sub-
jecting Ouf^Agricultural and pas-
toral classes to competition with the
world, while it enables the rich
manufacturers, by means of combi-
nations and trusts, to extort their
own prices for their products from
the people, violates the Federal con-
stitution as well as the fundamental
principles of the democratic partv
that tariff duty shall be levied and
collected for the purpose of revenue
only.”
14. The free and unlimited coin-
age of both gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1, with-
out waiting for the action or con-
sent of any other government. As
related to and as part of this gen-
eral subject, I believe that the pub-
lio debt sboald be paid aooording
to contract; that the standard silver
dollar should be a full legal tender
for all debts, public and private,
and that no character of legal tender
money should bs discredited or de-
monitored by private contract; that
the option of redeeming obligations
of the United States in stiver or gold
Coin belootrs to the government and
not the holders; that interest bear-
ing bond# should not be iseued in
timeof peace; that secret trafficking
with banking syndicates for the
sale of bonds below the market value
is reprehensible and intolerable;
that the congress and not banking
institutions should coin and issue
monev and notes intended to circu-
late as money; that all paper money
made legal tender for public and
private debts and receivable for
dues to the government should be
redeemable in coin; and that the
greenbacks should not be retired,
hut should be continued with the
same attributes they possess under
existing law. The financial quee-
tion is now, in my judgment, as it
was in 1896 and will be until settled
right, tne paramount issue before
the American people. Its correct
determination offers tbe only effect-
ive and full remedy for the starva-
tion prices of the products of labor
and the impoverished condition oi
tbs working masses.

escaped a round of abuse.
The Boston Herald is at hand
with its editorial Bneer and rebuke.
After remarking that ‘‘there are
opinions which may be honestly
held and yet which would seem at
times to be gratuitously Btated,”
and that President Andrews “has
an unfortunate tendency to state
opinions that clash with those gen-
erally received by the public,” the
Herald proceeds to say:
“It would seem to have been
possible for President Andrews to
have expressed admiration for Gen-
eral Lee to a very considerable ex-
tent without volunteering the opin-
ion that he considered Lee the
superior of Grant as a military
commander. He went even further
than this in declaring that he
thought Lee the equal of Napoleon.
This latter borders on the ridicu-
lous. Jt is really no service to
General Lee’s, memory, and it in-
vitee comment on President An-
drews himeeif which might dis-
creetly have been avoided.”
It is noticeable that the free ex-
pression by a northern man of his
admiration for the greatestof south-
ern heroes, and of his opinion that
this hero was the greatest genius of
the ciyil war, is resented as an ex-
hibition of bad policy and bad
judgment, is offensive to the north
and, in so far as it professes to state
a fact, “ridiculous.”
To this degree of tolerance of
praise of southern chieftains has
the New England press come a
third of a century after Appomat-
tox!
But for eyery sneer -from the
north President Andrews will re-
ceive from the south a spontaneous
outburst of applause for his brave
words and bis discriminating his-
torical judgment. The calm, noble
figure of Robert E. Lee stands out
among the great characters of the
war as pre-eminent for strength and
genius. To have held in check so
long the overwhelming hosts of the
north and to have defeated their
greatest commanders repeatedly in
pitched battles with his “thin gray
line” of ragged, hungry and foot-
sore soldiers, was to accomplish
more than Austerlitz exhibited of
military resource ot greatness, when
impartial history shall be written
the war record of Lee and his legions
will become a fountain of weaith
and inspiration to tbe military
students o& the future. History
recounts no lieroism, no fertility of
resource, no quickness of apprecia
tion of the enemy’s plans or his
weak spots and no boldness of
stroke when the time oame for the
offensive, superior to that of Robert
E. Lee. ^
We do not wonder that the north
should entertain its special admira-
tion for its own generals. It would
be an ungrateful section were it to
feel otherwise, and some there were
among the union chieftains who
were splendid commanders, but to
deny to Lee under the light of his
campaigns, the credit of the most
remarkable and resourceful strategy
exhibited during the civil war, will
always prove a cause for wonder to
southern people.—Houston Post.
Killed on His Wedding Day.
A special to the Philadelphia
Times from Dixon, Ga., says;
The bride wss waiting but the
groom came not. The smiling
guests wondered and whispered.
Everything was ready at the home
of James Martin for the wedding of
his daughter Ada and Clarke West-
brooke, both prominent young peo-
ple. An early hour had been set
for the ceremony, and after it the
bride and groom were to leave on
an extended tour. The guests were
in a state ot suspense and anxiety
when a messenger dashed up to the
house and announced that the
bridegroom was dead. He had been
killed in a runaway while on the
way to ihe house.
A etrange coincidence is being
mentioned. Two years ago Clarke
Weetbrooke ami Miss Gussie De-
Cannon were engaged to be married.
On the wedding day the bride elect
died. Now it is the groom elect.
of it is a deadly blight upon every

sense to keep them from the young.
If you would think, only think, it
might occur to you that the Su-

ieh tricks for a method of commun-
ication with beings of its own crea-
tion, nor is it likely that it would
adopt clumsy means more apt to be
misunderstood than read aright. In
the life and in the teachings of tbe
great Nazarene there was no mys^

His love and sympathy for man-

A Free Silver Banker
Mr. J. S. Carr, a millionaire bank-
er of North Carolina, was oalledon
for a speech at the recent Sontheilf
Banker’s Convention at Atlanta,
Ga., and be surprised bis gold-bag
brethren by making tbe following
speech:
eseary for me to withdraw my
name from consideration as a can-
didate for election to the senate of
the United States.
I do so from no apprehension of
defeat. I have received from all
parts of the state the most gratify-
ing assurances ot success if I could
remain in the race.
I realize the surprise this an-
ouncement will cause a great num-
ber of my friends, and on their ac-
count greatly regret to make it.
Will my fellow-citizens, who have
honored me so often and whom I
have served so long, pardon me for
the admission that in giving up the
hope of what I intended should be
my last political triumph, made
probable by their generous support,
I do not conceal from myself that
my pride and ambition suffer a
measure of humility, which con-
sciousness of the approval by our
people of my life’s services relieves
any regret which might other-
wise be caused by this announce-
ment.
In withdrawing from the iaut po-
litical canvass I ever expected to
make I do so with a heart full of
gratitude for the many honois con-
ferred on me in the past, and with
a proud oonscienceness of having
endeavored to faithfully discharge
every trust, executive, legislative or
judicial, which has been conferred
on me. JOHN. H. REAGAN.

Hanging a Bull.
About the year 1313 a bull be
longing to q farmer of Moisey kill-
ed a man, whereupon Charles,
count ot Velois, ordered its arrest
and trial, which took place aooord
ingly, and the animal was con-
demned to be hanged. But the or-i^^&0QT) 8ftyinrf
der of the Hospitallers claimed
risdiction over the yillage, and ap-
pealed to the parliament against
the judgement. The latter con-
firmed tbe verdict, but declared at
the same time that the count of Va-
lois had no jurisdiction over the
territory of Moisey. The bull was
hanged in due course. The coun-
cil of Worms declared that, in a
case where a child was stung to
death by bees, the whole hiye and
its contents muBt be burned.
An exchange quotee a crusty old
bachelor as having this to say on
the subject ot matrimony: “Man
that is married to a woman is of
many days and is full of trouble.
In the morning he draws his salary
and in the evening bebold it all go-
eth, but he knows not where. He
spendeth sbeckels in the purchase
of fine linens to oover the bosom
of bis family and appears at the
gate with one suspender. He rises
olad in the ohilly garments of night | decl
and seeketh the paregoric, which
healeth the-colicky stomach bf his
offspring. Yes, he is altogether
wretched and full of misery. Wide
is the road and broad is the way
that leadeth to the gate of matrimo-
ny and many there bethatgoeth in

Just as the train was about to

it wtt-all right, and placed it care-
fully in a safe corner of tbe car to

The one most precious and price-
less possession on earth is peace of
mind, it is the mental capital out
of which all worthy work springs.
It is the first and the one mdispen-
sible condition ot any achievement
worth tbe name. And when one
comes to think of it his peace of
mind is seldom invade< by others,
but instead by his own moods, his
own trains of reflection. Life should
be radiant, abounding, serene, with
the positive serenity of high pur-
pose and noble exhilaration, not the
mere passive repose or even inertia
that is sometimes mistaken for
serenity.—Bren ham
