Ransom, of North Carolina, is no longer minister of the United State to Mexico. That offie was practically declared vacant Friday by a decision rendered by Mr. Holmes Conrad, Solicitor General of the tnited States and A2ting Attorney General. Mir. 1lanso:n's incumbency was declared to be contrary to the Federal constitution; and the acting Attorney GenerAl sustained the a: tion of Mr. Thomas Hoh'omb, Auditor of the Treasury for the state Department; in de elinin:g to pass fav rahly upon Mr. Ransom's voehers for salary and exnenses. Tlhe ldecision of the actin~;, Attorney Gen eral w a Iased on a qiuestion raised by Audit)r Ilolcofill as to to the legality of Mr. tan.o: .a tppomn tent to the Mexic;m mission, it. View of the '-!'stence of seetion 2,artiolo 6, of the constitution. wh4ih l-vlares that "no at iior 0r R.1 esentative shall. du ring the time for whiPh he *a, eted; be appointed to cn i 'evil offlie under the authority of the Unite tiStates which shall have been created, or th.- emoluments- whereo! shall have been increased during such time." This Irovision apparetitly iltted thie cas. of Mr. Ransom for he was nomi nated Iv President Cleveland and con firned by the -nate before his term of offcee as S-iiat or of North Carolina had expired, an1d d i ung tlLt term the salary of thie Mexi can mision had Ieen increased e5,000 a year. - fr Soon aftIr Mr. Raiso-n's appointment to the Mexican mission there was coisidferable discussion in the newspapers and among public men as to whether his innmhen'y of the office was legal. The matter was eon sidered informnaiv by the Pr'sident and members of the eabinet, but as no formal question on the sibjeet was raised by any officer of the government. the status of Mr. Ranisom was not impaired. So far as can be ascertained Mr. Ransom continued to draw his salary of $17,500 a year, out it was only recently that Auditor Holeonib, when he came to pass upon the accounts, found him self unable to decide whether he could mtp prove the payment of Mr. Ransom's salary, in view of the fact that he had been a mem ber of the Senate when it was increased. The matter was accordingly submirtted to the attorney general for an opiion. The decision rendered to-day by the acting 4Attorney Genera' also disposes of another matter in which Mr. Ransom was pecuniarily interested. Nearly three months ago he re turned to the United States quite ill, ha'ing obtained sixty days leave of absence. He spent most of thme time recuperating in the North Carolina mountains and then obtained an additional leave of thirty days. Under the regulations or tbe diplomatic service. Mr. Ransom was entitled to sixty (lays an nual leave adt~ to thirty days sick leave ad ditional, a total of ninety days. There is no pro-:isiorn for a further extension for any reason andl diplomatic or consular offli:ers w~ho havet ex-eedie.l this quota, have not re ceivedl pay for thme period they remained away fromi their posts. Mr. liansom's nine ty. days are nearly up andl last week he caine to Was'nugton to ascertain if his continued ill hba'th would secure for him a further ex'.teueson with pay. That question was not ispoq~sed of andi there is now no necessity for an opinion on it, in Mr. Ransom's case, at least, as the acting Attorney General's decis ion disposes of everything relating to his emoluments. Mr. Ransom was eleetedl to the Senate in 1872, and servedI continuously from April 24th of that year uintil Fehruary 23rd. 1895, when his nomination to the Mexican mission was sent to the Senate and immediately con firmed by that body, and until the 4th of Matr'h, when his term explired andl his comn nmssion as minister to Mexico was sgncd by Ithe Pres'dent. lie wvas a member of the Sen ate when the diplomatic and consular appro priatior bill was paje~L'I.whiichi contained a provision raising the post of minister to Mex ie fromn a nissioun of the seconid class to a mission of the first class, and increasing ythe salary of the oflice from $12.500 to $17,500 a year." It is due to Mr. Ransom's ocicuplaney of a seat in the Senate chanmbe'r at that time that lhe is to-day without an office and that he is technically a debtor to the government for the amount of salary he has idrawn since assuming his diplomatic piost. Whether or not he voted in favor of the increase is of no Iconseqiienere; the fant that he was a member of the Senate when it passed the diplomatic and consular bil as stated, operated against him in holding in a iegal m anner any Federal civil office *'.vhich sh-.ll have been created, Ior the emoluments whereof shall have been increaed"' during the time for which he was elected Senator. Mr. Ransomi succeeded lion. Isaac P. Gray. ex-Governor of Indiana. who had died a short time before. After a visit to North Caro!ina,retumrning to Washington to receive i nstenetio.s. Mr. Ransom left here for the Citv of Mexico on March 30th. He arrived at Iius destination iunite ill. The high alti tunle of thie Mexican capital had affected his heart and aroentuated a trouble from which he had been suffering for many years. Mr. IRansom wasuil most of the time he was in Mexico, and he was adivised by his physician to return to the United States for treatment and reeup'ratiou. Following thiscounsel he came to North Caarolina in May. and has been at a hm 'th re-oi t in that State and at his home ini Webbdon most of the time since. SHe is nowv at Woldon. While in Washing ton Ist wedk thbe niinister paid several visits to th'e Stare Department with reference to the question raised by Auditor Holeomb. Just befoere returning to North Carolina he said his health had1 improved sufficiently to per mit him to .go baek to the City of Mexico in about a month. The constitutional provision throuigh whieh Mr. Ransom has been deprived ol office does not bar him from being re-ap. pointed to the Mexican mission. He could have been appointed without violationof the law or constitution at any time after tha hoiir of noon on Marc.h 4th, last, when his senat or)ii term expired. It is believed thai Presidlent Cleveland will, upon being official ly nified of the condition of affairs, re-ap po'iit Mr. Ransom to the office whichinearly every Senator e nited in ansking the Presideni to do last winter. -Unted States Mniste TI somse thatj he has made statements to a reportei refldeting'on Mexican officials in connectior with the extradition treaty, is considered sat isfaktory in the City of Mexico.

A *are.s.(enelosing stamp for postage) AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE, PHE WASHINGTON SILVER CON FERE-NCE SPEAKS; aThe Democratic Party is the Original Friend of Silver and It Must Be Brought Back to Its Moorings." The Silver Conference which assemlded at Washington, D. C., on Thursday. issued the following address to the people of the United States: "At a conference 1:etween a number of Democrats from the different States who at tended the non-partisan conv.ntion recently announced at Memphis, Tenn., for the pur pose of promoting the cause of free siver coinage (which conference was held after the adiJournment of the conveition). a oni - mlitteeonsisting of Senalors Jones. of Ar kansas, Tarpie, of Indiana', and Harris, of Tentn:'see, was; appoin-d and authorized to invite representative Demoerats from the several States to meet them at Washington for consultation with a view of securing co operation and concert of action among those DemioeraLs throughout the. Union who be lieve in adhering to the eardtinal Democratic policy of actual bi-metailism and who are op posed to committing the party to the pluto cratic, Republican doctrine of gold mono metallism. The present conferenceis the re stilt of the al-tion the-n taken This is pare ly a voluntary as:emblage, and therefore does' not assume to speak With party authorit4 and diselaims %ll right to bind auy person by out titteranccs; but profoundly conseiois that tho Demloerei ic party t -lay corifroits a eriss the rM.ost momentous in its history Aind fraiht with far-ri-:ebing peril tithe ptiple and the country; *e are assembled as iidividual bemocrats td take counsel to gkther nd for the tindisguised purposeb b inutigurating and promoting a thorough diid svstematie organiation of the Democraiti mass.;s so that they may go forward as 6ii man with a re.solute pa rpose to r'senle thn ohi party founded by Thomas Jt fferson frorh plutocratic dominatien. "Therefore, with this obier-t in view. this convention of American Democrats; com posed of reprc.estative:i from 22 of t06 lerd ing States of the Union, make the followirig declaration on the monetary question; which has been forced into the leadilig placeamong the issues of the day: "The Federal constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United State.s. The first coinage law pass-d by Congress under the constitution mfi'le the silver dollar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio mpea:ured by the silver dollar unit. From the beginning of the government, following a policy form ulated by Thos. Jefferson, the Democratic I arty has haen the party of bi-m.etallism. favoring the free coinage of both silver and gold at the national mints, and opposed to farming out to banking corporat'ions the governmemt's sovereign power of issuing snd controlling the money of the people. "The act of 1873 denionetizip, silver was surreptitiously passed, without the approval or knowle.hga of the Americnm people, and from the time when the effect of this act in instenin; 'ipon this !ountry the single gold standard was understood, the Democratic party has consistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong berighted. Failure to tccompish the object has resulted in the steady appreciation of gold and L correspond ing fall in the price of commodities produced b~y the people; a heavy increase in the burden of oih debis, public and private; the enrich meat of the money-lending class; paralysis of industry and the impoverishment of the peopli and unexampil distreSS in all gold standard count ries. Experience has shown that, while under the single gold standard there may be an occasional revival of busi ness :wtivity. accompanied by enhaneed prices of a limited numbe~r of commodfities, sch revival is due to artificial and tempora ry causes and cannot perm;anently alleviate the sufferings due to the falling of prices brought about b.y tie appreciation of gold Iand the inadequate supply of primary or re demption money. "Tire ri;ghts of the American people, the intcresits of American lahor and the prospe ity of American industry have a higher claim to the osideration of the people's biwy makers thn the greed of foreign creditors or the avaricious demands made by 'idle holders of idle capital.' The right to regu: late its own monetary system in the interests of ils own people is a right which no fr. government can barter, sell or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every contract and of every obliga. tion. 'No creditor or claimant e-in set tup a Iright tt cani take precedence over a nation's Iobli'tations to promote the welfare of the masses of its people. The is a debt higher tnd more bi~di:g than all other debts, and one t hat is not on ly dishoneet but treasonable to it:nore.

Oficial Reports of Earth's Products For America and Europe. the offlcial returns for August show that the prospective fruit erop of the country, taken as a whole, is mu'-h larger than for several years. The report follows : Apples-Thre erop met with no serious ob staeles to develolment during July. The influences upon which the proper maturity of tihe crop naturaly depenis have been so favorable that a very general increase in the index figures has re.alted. There are, how ever, some very important States id which the crop promised is less than half the nor mal product. This is the case in Maine, New Hampshire, Verniont. Michigan and Wisconsin. the percentages ranging from 28 In Michigan to 49 in Vermont. Massachu setts, Ne-w tork, Pennsylvania and Iowa show conditions between 50 and 60 or in dicated products at or slightly aboe one half the normal. On the other hand, 15 stares-New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia. Nort-h Carolina, Arkan sas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kent uckyIn diana, Missouri. Nebraska, Colorado and the Pacific Coast States, esciuding stares not commercially imnortant-bave a conditon of 80 or over, and of these six--New Jersey, Kentucky, Arkansas, Indliana, Missouri and Colorado-are above 90,) Kentucky going to 10!. Ohio and Illinois, with condiuions 73 and 72 respectively, standI het ween the high and the low. The crop is reported general ly short in the northern but abundant in the Southern portions of these states. The gen eral average of condition is 71.2, against 44 last year. Peaches-The average condition of peach es August 1 is 83.3, against 22.3 in 1804. The prospective yield has declined heavily in Delaware, where about ono third t he normal crop is now indicated. New Jersey has also suffered, the pereen age talling 12 points and resting now at 61. Conditions are high in Connecticut and Georgia, respectively 02 and 104. Maryland hopes for a two thirds crop; Virginia something under that portion. A very short crop is indicated for Ohio, and for Michigan about half the normal ptroduct. On the Pacific Coast conditions approximate the general average for the country. Much complaint of dropping and rotting is znade, the latter esptecially in the South. The condition of the crops of Europe is reviewed in the report of the Europteaa Agent of the Agricuiltural Department for August. It shows fair cropis in most of the .countries, except Great Dcitain. Tihe reports of the priueIpal countries follow: Great Britain-The persistent drought has resulted to injury to all crons; injury wide spread and very serious. Tno Agricultural Gazette considers the report as indicating a condition of things worse than has existed in any year since the blhack year, 187'J.

A HOTBL HIORELO. Bo1ters Explode Under' a Denver Hotel. Early Monday morning, Gumry Hotel, formerly the Eden Musee, 1725-5 Lawrence street. Denver, 0Oo., was wreaked ly a ter rible explosion, the rear half, a five story brick and stone structure, going down with a crush. The hotel was crowded with guests, many of whom were killed, as well as the employees, who were sleeping in that portion which fell. At six Monday morning, twelve bodies were recovei ed. At that time, the fire was still burning, though under con trol and confined to the hotel proper. Many victims not instantly killed were cremated in the flames. Night clerk Irwin, who is among the saved, says that fifty two rooms were occupied by guests Sunday night. some of them by three people. Tw~enty four pe - pie are accounted for so far.- Six ate thou ht to be faxtally injured and ten: servants are missing. The cause is unknown, but -it iq supposed that a battery of boilers in the basement exploded. All records are destroyed.

The forestry exhibit at the Atlanta Expo tion promises to be the most complete and structive ever made by the government, scelling in excellence, though not in size, he exhibit at Chicago in 1893. The exhibits re now being shipped and the work of in tallation will preceed as rapidly as they ar ive in Atlanta. It is the aim of Dr. B. F. 'ernow, chief of the Department of Fores- P cy, to make the exhibit typical of the splen- IX lid timber interests of the splendid timber aterests of the Southern States. It is Dr. s4 ernow's intention to remove the exhibit as Ar as possible from commercial aspects, rith the intention of presenting an educa icnal display. The wiee range in the use of #ood in all phas-s of human life will be t< hown. Lare panels are already hung on a he pillars of the buildin:r, each representing c )ne particular line of use; as for instance, tood in the kitehen, wood in the laundry, in b .ports. in the garden. in tools, etc. The timber exhibit will be so complete that any ' ne may trace the growth of thetree through s rarious stags,. learn its adaptability to var- s ous commercial uses, its value, durabihty ' omparative worth for special uses, etc. i this exhibit. which invludes a complete sta- i istical history of Southern forestry inter- f t$is. Dr. Fern, w has been ably seconded by I he lumbermien or the South. so that a most complete exhibition of this nature will be made.

Canned- Goods Adulterated. The United States department of agricul ture has recently been conducting an inquiry I into the question of the adulteration of food I products, and in the course of their investi- < gations in the manipulations and processes mployed in prenariag foods for the narket they found the manufacturer almost always detriorated the nutritive value of the vari ous articles of diet. Tinned foods are frc quently found to contain a small amount of salievlie of fermentation. so that the goods will not ferment or spoil so readily. The daily use of foods in which there are only minte (luntitie s of this acid will derange the digestion and impair the general health of the most robust person. Many articles preserved in tins were leu und to contain traces of lead, which is, of course. a poison to the human system. Pickles, green peas, etc., were found also to be colored by the use of acetate of copper. 10,000 Arrested Annually. There are, according to statistics, nearly 10.000 people arrested in the United States eac:h year. charged with killing in some War. not always so as to constitute murder, butsome form of homicide. This does not :ean. however, that there are 10.000 homi cides yearly. since it is very frequent for two or more persons to be ar:ested for the same crime. Still it does mean that with only a little more than double the population, we have nearly four times as many homi'ides as Italy.

Ad Acute RheumatIsm. rom te Keowee Courier, 1Va la, & For several years Mrs. Mary Hunter, wife M31r. William Hunter, of Mountain Best, Co:ee County, S. C., was a constant suf rer from rheumatism and could find no re f, even though she consulted the best doe. rs and tried every remedy prescribed by e most eminent physicians of the South. ut she finally stumbled, as it were, on a edicine which wrought her cure in a sim ie. but nevertheless a most remarkable. nner. Such was her experience, and for ie benefit of suffering humanity she con nted to an interview touching her peculiar .Lse. "Yes. it is true that I hal chronic rheu atism of long standing." said Mrs. Hunter a reporter, "an I the m3t celebrated phy eians of South Carolina could effect no ure. But I have been eured, and that cam letely." And she spoke the words with a right smile and cheerful countenance. 'I am sixry-six' years of age," she con nued, "and about five years ago I began to affer from acute rheumatism. The pain oon became const'ant, and for four years I ould find no relief. I could not remain still i any position, either lying, sitting. walk ag or standing. There was no rest nor ease or me, ,nd thus it continued until life itself ecame a burden. During these years Icon lted several of the most capable and emi Lent physicians of our State and took their res.-riptfons. But short and temporary war he relief afforded by any of them, and some ailed to give any relief at all. The xealad~y ould return with accumulated force after very period of temporary suspension, and at st it seemel that my case was hopeless. "About this time I received a letter fronz my sister, Mrs. Lucinda Stewart. of Texas, rho wrote me to try Dr. Williams' PinkPills r Pale People. and she told me how much ood they had done her. She had been stick or seven years arid had had two strokes of aralysis. None of the doctors of Texas !ould .a anything for her, and her cure aemed Impossibie. But she was told by a riend to try Dr. Williams' PinkPills, andshe i last did so. She wrote that she had taken nly half a box when she experienced a de ided change for the better, and soon jhe felt ike a young girl again. eventhoughsh* was >ver forty years old. In a short time she 'as cured, and she is now enj iying good ealth. "But. even after receiving that letter, it was some time before I consented to try the pills. I continued to receive treatment from >hysicians for a year or more, because I had ittle or no faith in patent medicines of any kind. But finally. being reduced to a dire xtremity, and all else failing, I concluded to write for one box of the pills, and did so Within a week after beginning to take them : commenced feeling better, and when the irst box was used I ordered six boxes. But .wo more b6xes effected my cure, and that permanently, too; for during the past year I have been entirely free from rheumatic pains. and count my cure complete. Since then I have given tie pills to other members of my family, and in n> instance have they failed to give speedy and permanent relief. I am onvinced that the pills are all that Dr. Will - ams claims for them, and more too. I cheer fully recommend them to all sufferers." To confirm her statement of facts beyond all doubts.
