tjcstf m Stnthul. (ESTABLISHED 1856.) THE PEOPLE'S FPE5S. (FOUNDED 1827.) J. B. WHITAKER, Jr., Editor and Manager. NOTICE. A Blue Mark here is to call attention the date to which your subscription is paid. .Remittances are desired from those in ar rears. Send in donations to the fund for the erection of a monument to the Confederate dead in our cemetery. The Durham public building bill is moving along. What is Mr. Linney doing towards putting a move on the Winston public building bill? Let North Carolina make a grand forward movement in educational matters this year. We must get away from the bottom of the illiter acy column. It is hoped that the friends of education generally will manifest a lively interest in the August elections upon the question of supplementary taxation for the public schools. It had been intimated that Have meyer, the sugar trust king, was in the shadow of the jail, but a way of escape was found and he will contin ue to fatten upon the sweet tooth of the nation. The Cabinet continues to talk about Cuba, but Cuba needs action more than talk. Among the things it doesn't need Is Czar Reed's inter ference with the passage of that belligerency resolution. We congratulate the Salem Boys School upon the success which at tended it during the last session. This is, probably, the oldest private school in the State, being one hun dred and one years of age. Noeth Carolina quill-drivers are indulging in pleasant anticipations just now because of the short season of recreation that will be afforded by the meeting of the Press Association, atMorehead City, June 9 th and lOch. Senator Aldrich, the Republican leader of the tariff debate, says the purpose of the present bill Is to raise revenue. Does this mean a departure from the Republican hobby of pro tection? Whatever it means, the past experience that a high tariff tends to reduce revenue is likely to be exemplified. The Norfolk & Western railroad has issued a neat folder bearing the title, "Business Openings in Virginia," and containing numerous hints of advantages offered by that State to home-seekers. It occurs to us that a similar production in reference to North Carolina, with a wide circula tion, would prove helpful. vThe work of harnessing the Yadkin progresses and in due time the work will be completed and wo will be able to offer still stronger inducements for the location of varied manufac turing industries. No more impor tant enterprise has been projected in our midst for years and it is hoped the results will be correspondingly great. Spanish Commissioner Congosto woke up the wrong passenger when he shook Consul General Lee. The telegrams tell us that Congosto charged Lee with connection with a conspiracy to irritate Spain and prompt Berious trouble. As a result Lee demanded immediate and full retraction, which, we are told, was reluctantly given. The Atlanta Journal prints a pic ture of Mr. Washington Duke, whom it styles "the father of the American Tobacco Company, the Gigantic Trust." The Journal is mistaken. The father of the trust is Mr. Wash ington Duke's son, "Buck," and therefore it would be nearer the mark to refer to the old gentleman as the grandfather of the trust. Whtle CoL Boyd confidently ex pected relief at the hands of the ad ministration, we suppose he experi ences that sense of satisfaction which results from relaxed suspen sion, now that the fact of relief and its size has been set forth in his nom ination for the Assistant Attorney Generalship. We presume there will be no hitch in his confirmation. Confederate veterans are looking anxiously forward to the re-union, to be held at Nashville, on the 22d, 23d and 24th of this month. It is said this will be the largest and most important re-union of the veterans ever held and at the grand parade, on the 24th, it is expected that more Confederate veterans will be in line than will ever pass in review again. In the event that. the Senate Tariff Committee refuses to recommend that the proprosed increase upon manu factured tobacco be stricken out, which appears probable, an oppor tunity will come to Senator Pritch ard to perform a real service to his State, as it is said it will be within in his power to defeat the measure. Will he prove equal to 'the occasion? Afteb a tour of the State of New York) Elliott Danforth, chairman of the State Executive Committee, de clares that thai great mass of the Democrats in New York want no change in the Chicago : platform. Wherein, the New York Democrats are like the Democrats elsewhere. That Chicago platform grows bigger as it grows older and that, or some thing like it, promises to bo strong enough to land Bryan, or some other true Democrat, in the White House about four years from now. Men who are competent to perform the duties of the position and who are staunch friends of public educa tion, and these kind of men only, should be selected for County Boards of Education. Much depends upon the appointments that will be made by the county commissioners, clerks of courts and registers of deeds, of the various counties, on next Mon day. These is about as much truth In Weyler's repeated assertions that Cuba is pacified as there would be in a statement by McKinley, Hanna & Co. that the gold standard has paci fied the depressed American people. Weyler and the gold standard are both tyrants and liberty-loving peo ple are not to be pacified by tyranni cal methods. America will 6hake off the tyrant's yoke and Cuba, we trust, will be able to do likewise. Will. Senator Pritchard act and vote UDon the DroDOsed increase of the tobacco tax as his constituents desire, or as Hanna & Co. dictate? It may be that the Senator is under personal obligations to Marcus, bat can a man honestly use official posi tion to repay a personal debt when the act is detrimental to the interests of those whom he is supposed to represent? We think not. The peo ple think not and they would con demn in no uncertain terms the official who would thus betray a trust. The Houston (Texas) Post puts It down pretty plain, in replying to a complaint that the Republican party is not - complying with its pledge to reform the currency system, when it says: "The pledge that the Republican party is keeping is the one made to millionaire manufactur ers, pools and syndicates, who con tributed to the 'slush' fund of the recent campaign. This was a serious pledge. The combinations must be allowed to get even first. Hence a high, robber raiding protective tariff." Evidently, King George is just now experiencing some Of the truth of the expression, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." The fact that a warship has been placed at the disposal of the royal family and : the further fact, stated in yesterday's telegrams, that every precaution is . beiDg used to prevent outbreaks in Athens, indicate that the Greeks do not cherish supreme loyalty for their ruler, and it appears, from the con duct of the King and his son, that this spirit of rebellion is not alto gether unprovoked. Next Monday is the appointed time for the opening of the case of the State of New York vs. The Ameri can Tobacco Co. The indictment to for violation of the law whicli makes it a misdemeanor for two or more persons to conspire to commit an act injurious to trade or commerce. The New York Journal says the Loch port coal dealers were indicted and convicted under the same sec tion of the Code as is now invoked against the Tobacco Trust. That may be, but it will be surprising if a conviction is secured against the rich and powerful Tobacco Trust. It usually finds a hole big enough to crawl out of such difficulties. Ben Tillman may be erratic and sensational, but there is no rubbing out the fact that he sometimes strikes a trail that would lead to game if followed up. One of these occasions was on yesterday, wken the South Carolina pitchfork flinger Introduced a resolution in the Senate to prose cute a vigorous investigation of the insinuations that Senators have feathered their own nests by hob nobbing with the sugar trust and by turning to their own profit informa tion secured by reason of connection with the Finance Committee. One fellow is now in jail for refusing to tell what he knew about these things and if Tillman's resolution is adopted and its provision carried out with an honest purpose to get at the truth, there will be some revelations, or more folks in jail, or grave suspicions removed. Turn on the X rays of just and thorough investigation and let the people see the true status of this matter. OP GREAT IMPORTANCE. The annual meeting of the Alumnae Association of Salem Female Academy was not only a delightful social reunion of a large number of the members, but it proved to be an occasion of great importance to the Association, the Academy and the community, inasmuch as the . very liberal pledges, aggregating five thousand dollars, made to the fund for the erection of a spacious audi torium in connection with the ap proaching centennial of the Academy, now only five years ahead, assures the success of that enterprise. , A commodious auditorium is a necessity for both the Academy and the community and as the ladies have taken the matter in charge a well founded hopj will be entertained that this necessity will be supplied. We congratulate the Alumnae Asso ciation npon the liberality and determination which mark its first step in this laudable undertaking and we bespeak for it the cordial co-operation of all our people . The Sentinel. pla-es Itself at the commando! the ladies for any service it may' be able to render in aiding them to crown with full measure of success their efforts. . May the hundredth birthday of the venerable, but still young and vigor ous, Salem Female Academy be celebrated in a handsome auditorium (erected by the energy of her loyal and loving daughters. The indications are that there may not be smooth sailing among the Powers in adjusting terms of peace between Greece and Turkey. The hint given in yesterday's tele grams in reference to the attitude of England is sugestive of friction and the further fact that each nation composing what is termed the Powers is likely to giv e its own inter ests more consideration than those of either Greece or Turkey, also indi cates that there will be more or less difficulty in reaching conclusions, and it is even possible that complica tions of a serious nature, involving blood in the eye, may arise. So that, although there is now a cessa tion of hostilities between the two recently warring nations, it cannot be said that peace will permanently wield the sceptre in the East. The gold standard New York Sun takes a prophetic glance into the future and reads the handwriting on the wall. It remarks that the effiei ency of the new tariff in restoring prosperity is conjectural, but if the measure succeeds, it says, "the dom ination of the party now in power, and the maintenance of the gold standard are assured for another presidental term; if it fails a Demo cratic victory in 1900 is possible, and with it the overthrow of the gold standard and the substitution in its place of that of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1." The Sun might have used the word "probable," or "certain," for the word "possible," and have thus read the signs of the times more correctly. High taxes for the benefit of the trusts and for the further impoverishment of the people will not bring prosperity. Free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 is coming, and in this thore is hope for the country. APPRBOI A.TION. Persistent effort seems to be the policy of the Salem Female Academy. By the time one session closes preparations are begun for the next. Thus success places its imprint upon every session. Already, there are encouraging prospects for the 1897-98 session by the application of this policy. So much for having at the head of the school a gentleman of indomi table energy, of unceasing devotion to his work, of marked executive ability, as is Prof. John H. Clewell, the principal of Salem Female Academy, who has, for the past thirteen years, so successfully met the important duties and the grave responsibilities of his position. When one thus devotes his best efforts to the discharge of duty, it is but natural that the knowledge that those efforts are appreciated ehouid awaken a sense of deep satisfaction ua, therefore, it must have been gratifying to Mr. Clewell, on yester day, when Bishop Rondthaler, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, made due acknowledgment of the faithful work of the principal and his good wife. The same sense of pleasure was, also, doubtless, experienced by the members of the Faculty, when the Bishop very kindly referred in com -plimentary terms to their labors. These expressions of appreciation are of the greatest value when it is recalled that they came from one who was for years at the head of the Academy and hence fully acquainted with the intricate work of principal and teachers, and from one who has always felt the deepest love for the institution and the tenderest regird fori ts welfare Bishop Rondthaler. TO MR. BYMUM Among the vicissitudes of life some times appears the necessity for sit ting up with a corpse. In a political sense, such a duty is thrust upon us today, as will be seen by reference to an article in this issue from Hon. W D. Bynum, chairman of the late so called National Democratic party, whose request for space to reply to a certain Sentinel editorial is cheer fully granted. We prefer to deal with live things and live questions, but environment and circumstances do not always in dicate that which is more pleasant, and so we are brought to consider at this time a political party, which, if not entirely a fit subject for a post mortem, has no excuse for existence, save the excuse which attaches to acts of rebellion and desertion from a party creed. We did not hear Mr. Bynum during the campaign and do not know just what position he maintained at that time, but we think our readers will bear us out that the impression gen erally prevailed throughout the cam paign that the gold bug Democrats coincided -with their allies, the gold bug Republicans, in the argument that the panic then in progress was largely due to the fear that the "silver crank Bryan" would be elected President, that this fear pro duced a Tack of confidence, and if McKinley, who wasJauded as "the advance agent of prosperity," should be elected President, confidence, the only thing needed, would be imme diately restored and the country would at once, without even waiting for McKinley's inauguration, enter upon an era of prosperity. -" It is an old and a true saying that "actions speak louder than words," and whether or not the assertions of gold bug Republicans were re-echoed by the gold bug . Democrat s, the actions of the latter afforded strong ground for the inference that the two gold standard parties were pulling1 the same team, with the same pur pose in view, viz , the defeat of the regular Democratic party and the success of the Republican party. Gold bug Democratic speakers were few and far between in this section and they were regarded as a sort of ! curiosity and with the suspicion that j they were Hanna's emisearies when they came from a distance with the ostensible purpose of instructing our people in the paths of rectitude and honesty. We remember that three of this kind were thrnst upon us at one dose, the memorable trio of Peckham, Harrison and Sykes, and we remember, too, that two of thfe three came out flat footed and ad vocated the election of the Republi can candidate for President, afford ing another instance of difficulty in reconciling, since the platform upon which they pretended to stand, and from which Mr. Bynum quotes, charged the Republican patty with class legislation and t hat it proposed "no remedy for existing evils except oppressive ard unjust taxation." It is certain that very little, if any thing, was said in this section, by either gold bug Republicans or gold bug Democrats in advocacy of State banks, the string Mr. Bynum is now pulling. Restoration of confidence through the perpetuation of the gold standard was the burden of most of the songs from that side of the house. We do not recall that Mr. Bynum, when he was a member of (JoDgress, took active steps towards removing the great obstacle to the re establish ment of State banks the tax im posed upon these institutions by the general government. If he did any thing tn that direction we will very cheerfully record it to his credit. Now, in justification of our posi tion, we would quote a little from the Indianapolis platform, using a portion not referred to by Mr. Bynum in his article. After declaring for the gold standard, even more positively than did the Republican platform, the Indianapolis document astserta that such a standard assures "the most stable standard and especially the best and safest money for all who earn a livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid in the beet monpy known to man," etc. We submit, in addition to what we have already said, that a condition under which the classes referred to above "cannot soflvr" must, ceces sarily, contain an element of pros perity, since these classes constitute the bone and sinew of the country, and the promise of euch a condition implies very strongly the promise of prosperity. The Republicans and the gold Democrats succeeded in fosteriDg the gold standard upon us and it does not d quire very close observation to difceern that the promised propperity has not come to those who "earn a livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry," and that the suflerings of these classes are far greater now than when the scare crow of the "silver heresy" was flaunted in their faces. We believe that Mr. Bynum now recognizes this grievous fact, and hence we will not pursue this line of thought at this time. As to Mr. Bynum's present plan of relief, or, if it will please him better to so put it, as to his emphasis of the currency reform clause of his plat platform, we repeat what we said in the editorial re'erred to by him lhe people are wining to con sider any plan which promises to bring the financial relief so greatly needed, but it may be put down as a dead certainty that the free coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, will remain a live issue until it becomes a part of the currency policy of this govern ment, or until something else has been tried and not found wanting. The question is not to be sidetracked by mere theories. VIENNA VIEWS. Prospect for Wheat Crop Not So Flat tering aa Early in l be Spring. Correspondence of the Sentinel.

Editors Sentinel. Permit me to occupy a little space in the columns of your paper in reply to an editorial in your issue of May 19th. You say, "During the campaign we were told that if the free silver heresy was de feated and the gold standard was maintained, confidence would imme diately be restored and the country generally would ride upon a high tide of prosperity. To this end, the gold bug Democrats united their forces practically, with the Republicans, and succeeded in deferring free coin age measures and in perpetuatiog the single gold standard for four years more. It is needless to say that the promised prosperity of our gold Democratic, etc I have no means of knowing what, if any, promises were made to your people by Democratic sound money speakers but I wish to say for mypelf. that I made no euch predictions, but to party or . uelfiah consi derations on the contrary distinctly stated j and choose men because of their in that while I believed free coinage i frllijrpnr, interest. In nnhlii .HnrHrinr. would immediately precipitate a , panic, tnat I did not anticipate a . restoration of prosperity until the government went out or tne pansing . . C.I 1 1 t business and a sound and flexible system of currency was established. If any sound money Democrat made such statements as you charge, he did so in the facs of the fact that our platform contained the following declarations, The Democratic party has sur vived many defeats, but could not survive a victory won in behalf or the doctrine and the policy pro claimed in its name at Chicago. The conditions, however, which make possible such utterances from a national convention are a result of class legislation bv the Republican party. It still proclaim, as it has for years, the power and duty of the governtmnt to raise and maintain prices by law; and it proposes no remedy for existing evils except opprepeive and unjust taxation." And further, "But we denounce a'so tbe further maintenance of the present, costly patchwork system of national papr currency as a con stant source of injury, and peril. We assert the necessity of such intelli gent currency reform aa will confine the government to its leatimate functions, completely separated from the banking business, and afford to all sections of our country a uniform, safe, and elastic bank currency under governmental supervision, measured in volume by the needs of businees." The position of the sound money Democrats was that while there was something radically wrong, free silver was not the remedy. In the face of the declaration in our plat form that the Republican party, "proposed no remedy for existing evils except oppressive and unjust taxation," it would have been a gross 'assumption for any of our speakers to have asserted that Hpon the trumph of that party, would be ushered in an eraof great prosperity. We declared unequivically in lavor of a reformation of our system of cur rency aa the only remedy for existing evils, and, I do not think, you will "find any difficulty in reconciling the preelection arguments" of myself and others with the position we now occupy if you will only correctly quote from the records.

It is of great imnortance to the State at this juncture of its educa tional policy that the county boards of education shall be wise and prud ent men, in earnest and heartv accord with the spirit of improving the public schools. No great progress along any line can be aecomplised as long as the people are denied the advantages of education, and unless the county boards of education are selected with an eye siDgle to improving the schools there is little hope for im prcvement. Politicians who want a place for themselves, or who want to be elected to select their favorites to teach in tbe public schools, will pros titute the only agency for the uplift iDg of the people to selfish ends, and should not be chosen. Under the new law the board of education in each county is to be a p pointed by the county commission ers, register of deeds and clerk of the Superior Court.

Paine's celery compound builds up the "run down" health in a sure, un interrupted, steadfast fashi6n from which there can be no relapse- It wipes out unhealthy humors from the blood, opens up the skin and makes it do its full share in purifys iDjj the blood. This cleansing the btood through anl through is one of the unfailing accomplishments of Paine's celery compound. From a life long contact with the many forms of nervous dibility and impure blood, Prof. Edward E. Thelps, M. D , LL. 1),, of the Dart mouth medical school, was led to the discovery of l'aine's celery com- pound as the crowning achievement of an extraordinarily active and sues cessful professional life. So acceptable substitute for Paines celery compound exists.
