Is th hi mihtrtti!) t rn rW Kponniljl for the outbreak i jingoism apninst, Gfrmanf, just now figuriiig in fipmo of the biir newspapers? T h a t question has lieen asked very frequently in Washington of late, and not a .feff answers have been in the n(firmative, although what purpose of tlie adtninistrution world be ser ved by a war scare or an ac tual war with Germany o r any other nation, is not ap parent, nnlesssitbp a scheme to work up public opinion m fjiror of Congressional legis lation for an enormous in crease in our navy, It is cer thin, hi)wever.,thatmen very dose to the administration, are doing their b?st to in crease the talk about. Germa ny's intentiqn tograb one or more ot the lit tie republics on this continent, regardless of the Minroe doctrine:' This i playing with ayridmite. It is hot probable that Germany want da war with us, and it is absolutely certain that We don't want n war with Ger many, but it is easily possi ble for fool talk here and in Germany to get the two peo ples so wrought qp that some little incident, which under ordinriry; circumstances would amount to nothing, might oring on one of the most costly wars ever fought. Senator Mr'Laurin may con tinue to call himself a demo crat if it pleases him to do so, but tlie fact thftt the dis tribution of the.Federal pat tonage of -South Carolina is in his hands, shows what sort oLa democrat rhe is. The while republicans .of that State, who have monopoliz ed the.Federal offices for thir t.Vtflrp years, except during the two Cleveland terms, are doing much growling, but those.who after re-appointment, are told when they come to Washington, that it is necessary for thni to have Senator McLaurin's endorse, mpnt before they can get it. Not a little amusement was caii8ed in Washington when the news of Senator McLau rin's attempt to get ex-Senator. ,.W,ade Hampton, to throw his influence to the ad ministration movement in ex change for the post office at Columbia. Gen. Hampton is a poor man, and one of the reasons therefor is that he could never be bought. That was well known in Washing ton through Gen. Hampton's long and distinguished servi ces in the Senate, and as rail road commissioner. T h i s must have been well. known to Senator McLaurin, hut, having changed himself he doubtless imagined that he also changed. He was quick ly undeceived. . .The, radical position taken by Representative Bahcock, of Wisconsin, as to the nwd si ty tor a revision of the Ding Iy tariff, so as to put trust controlled products on the free list, has, in the opinion of the hide-bound protection 1st republicans, made it im possible for Mr. .

Democrats w h o have been quietly keeping tap on the talk about Mr. Bab cock's proposed tariff reform are decidedly pleased with thei outlook. . They believe that the question - will bting about a war in the republi can party, compared w i t h which the old Stalwart and anti Stalwart war will seem child's play, and that the re suit is hound to be beneficial to the democratic party, not only because it will hold the balance of power is Congress, but because there is n strong probability that it will also cause it to elect the nextpres idept.'.lf Mr: Babcock can get the reponlii'an votehe claims a tat iff reform bill along the lines he ndybcatatus can -put through Congress with thens sis t a rice of democratic votes and Mr. McKinley can v6to if he. da re. . Another row is on over the purchase of foreign-m a d e arms by the War Depart ment. The Department ordef ed the purchase pt one , thou sand German magazine pis tols with the understanding that if, after a practical tejt, by the armjjhej proved sat isfactory, twenty thousand more would be bought. This brought a vigorous protest from a well-known American fire arm company, which claims to have a pistol of A merican design and manufac ture; in every way asgoodas the German pistol ordered to be purchased for the army, and which t(ie board of ordi nance nd fortifications which recommended the .Germa.P purchase, did not eveu test. The protest will not prevent the purchase of the one thou sand German pistols, but it is likely to put a spokein the scheme to purchaseof twenty thousand more of them. Ev ery nan wishes out army to have the best equipments to be had. but no man with the right sort of blood in him believes that foreign equip ments should be bought when as good can be bad in t h is country. This purchasing of foreign-made arms has long been a touchy subject with the Ordinance bureau, and one which it has been almost impossible to secure official information about. It may be necessary for Congress to don little investigating on this subject. President Kruger of t h e Transvaal Republic, will vis it the United States in Octo ber. This announcement was made by Mr. Montague White theBoer diplomatic agent, who hasbeen in Washington for some days. t THE HAGUE MCCORKIE DRY GOODS COMPANY, -IMPOBTEBS AND WHOLES A LEBS-- GREENSBORO, N.

Some men rise in the world because they a re light weight. Some christians seek to demonstrate their wisdom on t he basis of t he pro verb about the fool and his money.

Once Rufe Fields, Howard Hawthorne McGee and Lee Fizgerald, all well known Memphis newspaper men, call ed on a fortune teller in Mem phis. The fortune teller read the lines of their hands and predicted that neither of the three would ever reach theav eragespan of life--33 years. Within three months McGee, the poet, died, and within six weeks after Lee Fitzgerald, of the M'. E, Church, was bur ied. The death of Fields gath red the three friends togeth er across the river.
