The price ot cotton has about
reached the gold. standard level.
When Oleyeland succeeded in
getting the Sherman silver pur-
chase law: repealed cotton went
down. ft has occasionally gone
up alittle, but it has stood about
the 6 cent notch ever since, when
farmers were selling the bulk of
their crop. With average crops
6 cents a pound seemsto be the
average gold standard price. It
1s now bélow that figure. Farm-
érs need look for no permanent
advances in the prices of their
products, when ordinarily full
crops have been madz, until silver
as well as gold is coined and used
as money of final redemption.
"Statesviile Mascott.
Hanna onthe Stump.
Senator Hanna made a speech
in Ohio Saturday, at the opening
of the Republican compaign, and
if the newspaper reports of it
are correct, it was a strange
jumble of words and ideas. He
declared, among other things,
that othe Republican party is
responsible through that measure
(the Dingley law) for bringing
back this prosperity.�
Then he said that he had about
made up his mind that othe
Lord is a Republican,� and that
it is perhaps on this account the
Creator has caused short crops of
wheat in foreign countries.
There you have the average
better times and higher nrices.
The whole blasphemous theory
is that the
Lord looked en the Republican
party and found st good; that He
then inspired the Dingley law;
and that, in order to make sure of
the resuit, cut off the crops of
wheat in those countries which
have heretofore competed with
the United States in the worldTs
markets.
Mr. Hanna is the first respon-
sible leader, 80 far as we know,
who has had the gall to announce
that Republican legislation has
brought about the return of more
tolerable times, and even he is
inclined to leave a loophote of
escape by the suggestion that the
Lord is a Republican.
Of course, we cannot, atT this
distance, judge of the intelligence
of... Republican yoters in Ohio.
That State has given to the pub-
oc Half the: success of
sappost of the ragtag and bob-|
to..%in the
and a special correspon-
dent says that othe large amount

do belieye that they need to be

We donTt know where the
school teacher is to come from
at thie time. The Republi: :
~have had opportunities in this
direction, and have neglected]
them. They haye had the exam-
ple of such men. a3 John Allen
and Allen Thurman ; but perhaps
the honesty and virtne of these
men are less attractive ~to the}
average Republican than the
slick and fluent bossism of Hanna,
and the current fraud: and cor-
raption that calle itself Republi-
canism.
We cannot imagine a more de-
pressing: ~spectacle ~than that

ing their own political honesty."

DonTt Kick or oKnock.�
If your neighbor is prosperous
let him prosper. DonTt grunt,
growl or grumble. Say 2 good
word for him and let it go at that.
DonTt be a knocker. Your turn
;will come- No one man is the
whole show. If vou see the
town is moving along, feel good
about it. Heip things along.
Shove a little, Push. Try. and
get some of the benefit yourself.
DonTt stand around like a ~chilly
old cadaver. DonTt waste your
time feeling sore, because some
other fe'low has .a little more
sand and sexse than you have.
Do a little hustling yourself.
DonTt be a knocker. Ifyou say a
good word, say it like a prince.
If you are fali of. bile and dis-
keep your mouth shut. DonTt be
a knocker. No man made a cent
knocking. No man ever gets
rich or happy minding eyery
bodyTs business but his own.
No man ever helped himself up
permanently by knocking his
neighbors down. Give up a kind
word. Giveitliberally. It wonTt
cost you a cent, and you may
want one youself some day. You
may haye thousands today, and
next day without the price of ~a
shave. SodonTt be a knocker.
You canTt affordit. It wonTt pay.
ThereTs nothing in it- If you
want to throw something at
semebody, throw cologne. Or
roses. DonTt throw brickbats.
Or mud. DonTt be a knocker.
If you must kick, go around the
barn and take a good kick at
yourself For if you feel that
way, yourethe man that needs
kicking. But whatever you do,
donTt be a knocker."Cincinnati

ag | far as Newcastle, and the company
was in debt and despondency, and
L. L. Robinson, who then owned the
old original railroad from Freeport
to Folsom, was laughing in his
aleéve at what 'he called ~thé Dutch
~Flat swindle.T The stages then went
from Folsom to the great mining
camps of Nevada, especially to Vir-
ginia City, and it was the boast of
the Freeport and oFolsom road-peo-
ple that the Central Pacific would
never be built beyond Newcastle.
~* Well, one morning Charles Crock-
er left: San Francisco on the steam-
er ~bound ~for Freeport with three
gentlemen, including myself. When
the steamer had reached ~Freeport,
the mail and newspapers from San
Francisco for Virginia City were
immediately put, aboard the Free-
port and Folsom train, which then
hurried away on its journey. A
spirited team was waiting for Mr.
~Crocker and his companions, and we
quickly left the steamboat, got into
the coach and were driven rapidly
off for Sacramento City. Arriving
~there, we found an engine and coal
tender waiting for us at the Central
depot, and Mr. Crocker gave orders
to the engineer to run the locomo-
tive at every pound of steam she
could carry to Newcastle.
~~When we started, all of us, with
theT ~excepfion of Mr. Crocker, who
stood at the back of the engineer,
were seated in the tender on various
take us long to realize, from the
awful jolting and swaying of theen-
gine, that the road was unballasted
and in a very poor condition for
speeding. Much to our relief, after
we had passed beyond the American
river and our arms fairly ached
from our exertions to hold on and
keep ourselves from being thrown
out of the tender, the engineer sud-
denly lowered his rate of speed and
at the same time informed Mr.
Crocker that it would be extremely
dangerous to run any farther at the
rate we had been going.
~*Mr. Crocker looked annoyed and
said: ~Nonsense! If you are afraid,
you had better get off the engine.�T
~He then took hold of the lever
Of course we all thought that Mr.
engine would soon jump the track.
But Mr. Crocker would not listen to
remonstrances, never moved a mus-
cle and stood at the lever until we
were all scared out of our wits, and
the engine, panting and throbbing
like a huge wild beast enveloped iv
a cloud of escaping steam, reached
Newcastle. Here we were hustled
into a waiting coach and driven
away. Ateach ten miles between
that town and Virginia City there
wasa relay of horses. At various
points along the mountain roads
éven tho drivers were afraid to obey
Mr. CrockerTs orders, and in two in-
stances he took the reins himeelf
and whipped the teams into a lively
gallop.
~The result of the whole exciting,
wild and dashing race was that
Charles Crocker presented in the
business office of the Virginia City
Enterprise a copy of the San Fran-
cisco Bulletin and/gome mail. matter

the opposition railroad had reached
