Our Regular Washington, Nov. 27th 1896. There is at least one Republican Senator who thinks that administration will have to borrow very early in its career, not- withstanding the assertions of the party stump speakers and editors during the campaign that it would never, under any circumstances, such a thing. Senator not only thinks that the administration will have to borrow money, but he has prepared a plan for it to do so, and it is sup- that he will put it in the form a bill, lie will introduce in Con- His plan is in short to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to row as much money as may needed to make up the between the government receipts and expenditures so long as their is a deficit, the loans to be made payable in a short period. Mr. Chandler seems to agree with the state- made on the stump by silver men, that the election of would mean among other things a further increase in the National debt by the Government borrowing more but other Republicans will favor exhausting all other methods of trying to pull through before to an- other loan in any shape. Even if there was a Republican mi the Senate, could not accomplish any legislation this session Congress, unless some way could devised of reconciling the wide difference of opinion among them as to what ought to be done. There is some talk of an attempt U add to the government revenues by internal rev- legislation, and the project of adding a barrel to the tax on beer, which came so near i ting incorporated in the Wilson tariff bill by the Demo- Ways and Means committee of the last House, has been revived may be recommended in President Cleveland's annual message. The in- of the brewers killed it when it was proposed before, and now in ad- to that it will have to contend the opposition of the high tariff Republicans who want to leave the whole revenue question just where it is in order to have an an extra session of Congress. The vacant seat on the bench of th Court Claims which gossip had as- signed to one the members of dent Cleveland's cabinet went to Attorney General whose official duties have made him thorough- familiar with the business of this court. Judge legal attain- are high and there is no personal objection to him, but if the idea by a considerable number of silver men, hanging up all of Mr. Cleveland's nominations in the Senate, be carried out, his nomination will fail with all the rest. Whatever be one's it is clearly apparent that the action of gold Democrats, in trying to get the administration to remove Dem- in a number of States because they supported Bryan, is not calculated to wipe out the existing bit between the regular Democrats and the In the Post Office department alone attacks are being made by the upon more than Presidential postmasters. It is not likely that any c of these, or any other officials the of whose successors has to e confirmed by the Senate, will be removed, because, whatever may be the result the proposition to take no action upon any nominations, it is that the Senate as at present con- will not confirm the nomination any gold Democrat for a position from which a man removed for no other reason than that he followed his End supported silver.

LETTER FROM TEXAS. Ancient Mission Oct. 23rd To the Eastern Reflector, Mr. have written times to the Reflector in 1892 and 1893, and my letters had appeared in its columns.

La- Bahia, as a mission, was founded early in the 18th century by Don Ramon. Franciscan Friars evangelized the adjacent Indian tribes. The ruins upon which I and write these lines, still give evidence of those glorious times by the Spaniards. This mission was founded on n point of strategic value, a square or about acres, which surrounded by massive stonewalls feet high, at the corners bastions or turret had beep erected for a was indeed a powerful fortification. I had said the walls are partly fallen, cacti, shrubs and wild growing now en top them, but the venerable church is still standing and divine services are held within its sacred walls.

This is, I think, the last message I send to North Car- to my beloved ones and to my few friends, San Diego, Tex., Nov. After I left the Mission I traveled southward through the counties of Bee, Live Oak, and In the latter county I was suddenly seized by a violent fever on a Mexican ranch. For several days I in great danger and had not the Mexicans nursed me so tenderly, I think I would not be any more among the living. I am gradually improving and it is my resolution to stay here until my earthly career will end and a solitary grave re- my remains. I most heartily wish that North Carolina will prosper, but I also would like to see that some enterprising and old North Car- would come out here and settle on the thousand and thousand wild lands of Texas, where now so many families from the old States have found good where cattle, horses, and sheep are roaming about the whole year without need of a where corn planting begins in Jan- where corn matures in June, cotton picking likewise begins in June.

It is strange, but true, that of people in an age and country can be taken in daily by fakirs. It is always safe to follow the road of truth and when you turn from that toad yon are apt to be caught in a trap. The that the best is always cheapest is well worth re- This is a day of cheap things. On the corners of our streets stands be licensed physicians ready and willing to you good service if sou are sick. While he stands there and waits for a call he sees in the streets of the city a crowd around the fakir- The fakir has h-s oily tongue and great of words to convince the able-bodied man that he a tonic in the shape of some pleasant liquid or small palatable pill; to the weak man or weak woman he can administer drugs that will be pleasant to take and certain to cure, for the small sum of cents. So it goes, the flows ea--y and the fakir's mind runs loose; all in a day. The medicine is taken home by purchaser and stored away to evaporate. That is the way of the world. papers in a town may write and advise, the preach in the pulpit may warn exhort the people to beware of the fakir, but the fakir still comes and goes enriched by the money of the innocent. The skilled with his superior training and years of experience cuts no figure when the fakir comes around. That is the curse that pervades our country. Beware of the fakir. Tour friends are the ones to stand by and they, will fake you. It you need a doc- tor call a man who is trained skilled. Gall on the wan who has come among you to make a living for himself and to be service to you. Don't spend your money on stuff that you know nothing of. If we were all doc- tors hard study and we could the pain found the streets. But we are not. Everybody can- not be skilled in the art of medicines, that is left to the learned men and women who are devoting their lives to the study of the human body and its needs. So the best thing for man or woman to do, who feels the need of medicine is to go to a physician that is known per- or by will by process where you lose by patronizing a fakir. This not only cal fakirs, but it should apply all business.

Make Way For Mr. J. L. Ramsey, the editor of the Progressive Farmer, has announced a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed the Rt. Hon. Constant Pritchard, a former printer's devil.

A member of the grand jury appeared and told the court that he had given the news items to the reporter, not meaning to do anything wrong, and asked that its be directed to- ward him.

Hints to Advertisers. W soever lives in a place where a newspaper is published will find its col the cheapest through which to address the public. An article once advertised begins to loose place in public favor as soon as the advertising ceases, and the longer it is allowed to remain public view the harder it will be to restore it to its favor. What is called the of a business is merely the cumulative effect continuity. So with an the longer it runs the greater its value. A business had been tor fifty years would lose its good-will in twelve months if once stopped, and very few men would rare to pay much for it. Once, advertising is stopped its cumulative effect is lost, and the longer it remains dead the harder i will be to make it effective when started again. Results the Kindergarten.

Nothing is taught with greater or more constant emphasis throughout the Scriptures than that God expects man to do some- thing to bear fruit.

And God teaches that the useless shall be destroyed- No amount of will ever, can ever wipe out truth. God does in Gospel of Jesus save the useless and worthless, but He saves them by making them useful and But if He cannot do that He must destroy them. But many men take eternal risks worthless.
