E'SrABnLISHED 1865o NEWBERRY, S. C., TUESDAY, DECEMBE R 4, WO00 TWICE A WEEK What Senator Teller Says sILVER WILL Ic . LIVE QUESTION FOR MANY YEARtS. Will be an Effoart to Increase the strength of the Arny-Subaldy Shipping ISill Will Probably Iass War Tax May be RIeducet d Denver, Nov. 26.-Sonator Henry M. Teller of Colorado, who left fcr Washington tonight; speaking of the effect upon the silver question t e defeat of Bryan will have, said that he did not intend to abandon the sil ver question because of the result of the recent election. "The silver question is not dead," he continued. "It will bo a live ques tion in American politics for years to come, and I am Jiimly of the opinon that we will ultimately return to the bimetallic system, in my judgment the only system that can secure stability of prices and equity between the creditor and debtor." -Speaking of important legislation to be enacted by congress during the coming session he said: "I anticipate that there will be an attempt made to increase the regu lar army independcnt of any force that may be necessary for the Philip pine island, to the extent of 100,000 as a permanent army. I doubt very much whether such a measure can be passed during the short session. So far as I am concerned, I am very much opposed to it and will do all I can to prevent it. I am quite willing that the goverment tihould have all the forces in the Plhilippine island that may be necessary to conquer a peace, if it is the policy of the ad ministration to dispose of that ques tion in that way. There will also be an effort to pass what is known as the subsidy shipping bill, which will im pose-a burden upon the people of any where from $10,000,000 to $20, 000,000 a year for a number of years to come. I don't believe it is a wise measure, but rather expect to see it pass during this session. For a while there will be, I think, a great waste of money. It isnot as objeC tionable as the army bill. "I think there will be, as there ought to be, an attempt to reduce the pres,r.t war revenue tax and to got rid of some of its very objectionable features. I notice that the action of the cabinet appears to have been in that direction. I hope it may be done. "Aside from these matters I doubt whether there will be very much other legislation attempted during the short session."~ Senator Teller does not expect to participate in the senatorial contest in Colorado, but expects that the fusion forces will hold together in making a selection of a senator. Wantei a Riliward Pass. (From the New York Sun.) The Democratic national commit tee met in Chicago in July, 1899. Mr. Bryan was there. Mr. Stone pre sided over the deliberations. Ark ansas Jones was in E'urope. After the meeting adjourned .Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stone and all the others, mn cluding Frank Campbell, then Demo cratic national committeeman for tbis State, went on the junket to celebrate the opening of the Chicago Drainage Canal. The Hon Buck Hinrichsoi, Allgeld's ~representa tive in Congress and right-hand lieu. n.'3ant, was around, fussy and con. ~ ,tial, his waiscoat pockets stuffed iJ.gzilroad passes, surface and steam, teklp%~c; and telegraph franks and all the prinhagof a true Buck,"t said the Hon "Shiru Tail Bill." in his purring tones. "I see that,you are bulging with railroad passes. Get me one back to St Louis, will you ?" Before the Hon "Ruck" Siad time to reply Mr. Campbell spoke up and said to Mr. -Stone. "Surely, Govornor, you would't accept anything from a corporation I" "WVouldn't I, though; no, no, oh! no," replied Mr. Stone; "Just try me. Buck, get me that pass back to St Louis. Don't forget it. S.td that Is (I1trch i 48ooit tob OrganizHie In Cohitsibia-The.y a n Inm t tloulm Ita I ho Way They Uring up the Msijeet of IRe i g eon. (Columbia Rlecord.) Press dispatches recently nnounc. ed that numerous prominent lor mons were assembling at Chatta nooga for the purpose of pushing t he Mormons propaganda in the South. As is well known to public for sov. oral years Mormon preachors have b,on oporating in remoto rural dis tricts in this Stato, whore a number of converts was mado. A year or two ago they held a conference in this city and it was then stated that there was somothing over one thou sand converts in the State. The elders and preachers have been quiet ly at work over since and it is likely that more converts have been made. But the elders and preachers seem ingly no long'r intend to confine their efforts to rural comnmuni ties. Three preachers have been at work in this city and it is stated that a church is soon to be organized at the Granby mill. The elders, or whatever they are called, have ovon grown bolder and are attempting to conduct their mission work right 'in the city. They go about it in a quiet and unobtrusive way and do not hesitate to brotch the subject of their religion to most proMiLeIt and respectable families. 0 gentleman mentioned an instance where two of them called at his ro sidence. They first pretended to bo looking for some place to board. and during the talk on that subject' they adroitly brought out something about their religion, prefacing it by the ro. mark that it was misunderstood, (tc As soon as the subject was broached they were promptly dismissed. But it was brought out before they in tended to make a house to-house can vass. Thc Mormon religion is very ob noxious to intelligent people and the boldnoss of these men in attempting to propagate their doctrines in the city is unprecedented. But it, goes to show to what extent the Mormons are cari. ing their propaganda in this state. NEARLY A IIALF BILLION OF GOLD IN THE TRIE.ASURCY. More Yeiiowi Meta lin Unvlo Fmiiwa strig Boxes than Ever litfowt-The Caust a. Washington, Nov. 30.--Tholargest stock of gold coin and bullion ever held in the United States is now ac cumulated in the treasury and its branches. The total has been rising Bteadily during the whole of the pres eat year and the amount is now $474I,. 108,330, or about $7f,000,000 great er than at the close of 1899. The increase up to June 30, was about $23,000,000,. but since that time has been about $1,000,000 for July, $6, 000,000 for August, $10,000,000 for September, $18,000,000 for October and $17,000,000 thus far in Novem ber. The gold is not all direct property of the United States, buf is held against outstanding gold certificates. The amounlTof those, less the amount in the treasury and its branches, was $239,755,809 WVednesday. All thea remaining hold, amounting to about $343,000,000 belongs to the treasury as part of the reservo fund of $150, 000,000, or the free fund of $93,000, 000 in the general cash. The influx of gold into the treasury comes part. ly from the new gold from the Kion dike and other mi.nes, but its reten tion is due to the pressure for cur rency, which leads to the acceptance of gold certificates and other paper money in preference to coin. The treasury has recently lbeen shipping small notes in 1large quantities to New Orleans and other points upon deposits of gold in the New York sub-troasury by t'ho New York reserve agents of the Southern banks. The,gold supply of the country on the last day of 1800 was estimated at $602,017,212. The estimated amount Nov. 1, 1000, was $ 1,080, 027,407, and it is probable that the report for Dec. 1 will show at least $1,100,000,000.

The Pitchfork Senator SayR tho Fight Must Uo Itight Aloig on tho Kanmas City F'intfollm. The Cosmographic Company of New York has secured the following statement from Senator Tillman con corning the reorganization of the Democratic party: I hav:- your letter of recent date, in which you ask: "What is the fu ture of the Democratic party ? Must it be recuit upon new lines or return to the original ones? Where shall the reorganization begin, etc ?" The smoko of the recent political battle hab hardly cleared away or sufficient time been given to study the full returns of the election. E lough is known to show that the Democratic party is not. dead, nor is it about to die. McKinley's election i3 attributed to two causes; venality and ignorance. Under the first head would be embraced the use of money lavishly to control votes; the love of money above principle or patriotism, and the coercion of voters who were afraid of a return of hard times and loss of work. Under the second head would be embraced a large mass of ignorant foreigners who have not been assimilated or become Ameri canized, jvho are ignorant of our in stitutions and are more or less influ enced by the ideas they brought with hem from the old world. A large number of business mn who thought prosperity was the result of McKin ley's election, and who dreaded a panic if Bryan was elected. These were content to let well enough alone, having an eye solely to the business aspect rather than the un derlying principlos involved in the contest. They were ignorant and too cowardly, rather than venal. The Democratic party does not need reorganization. It cannot be attempted until the next national convention is held and the mot piti able sight of a self-respecting man is the rush which has been made by the traitors who brought the party nigh unto death in 1890 to resume control., The fight to restore the republic to the principles of the fathers and, to stand by the Constitution whieh they framed, must go right along the lines formulated at Kansas City.. "Nothing is ever settled until it has been termed in derision, will either triumph in the end or the republic is doomed. Like Nelson at Trafalgar, let us nail the colors to the mast and fight until the victory is ours. We cannot afford to despair of the re public and the trouble of the imperi alists has just begur.. Their pro gram involves the continuation of high taxes, a large standing army, and the guarantee that prosperity which appears to have controlled the result of the election cannot last. If we fight as a party bravely and stand by our principles unflinchingly there is everything to makd us hopeful of the future. Yours truly, B. R. Tillman. Trenton, S. C. Is iE OURt MOSEs'? A Swindlier Arrested in New York Baid to be oarolina's Ex.Governor. New York, Nov. 3l0.-Charged with obtaing money under false pre tences, a man representing himself as Dr. William A. Ferguson, formerly of Galveston, Texas, but who is al leged by the police to be ex-Gov ernor Moses of Charleston, S. C., was arraigned today before United States Commissioner Shields and held in bail of $1,000 for examina tion on Thursda7 next. The pris oner is said to bear a cloose resem blance to the notorious South Caro lina Governor of "carpet bagger" fame, whose record is in every police headquarters in the country. "Dr. Ferguson" was arrested on Tuesday last, on complaint of Dr. Jarman, who alleged that Ferguson had swindled him out of a small sum of money and was continually an noying him. The federal authorities wish to sand him to Washington, where .he is wanted on charges of swinmdling.'- Dr. A. R. Shands, of Washington appeared against him today. - EAkins Tim HESECRET! ming 1 ih At The night Piece! Janiiesor's is THE' PLACE!
