There Is no thought of party policy or public ben efit. There U no hope for the Republi can parly of North Carolina.

J 'r ;l '.r.-',': j''r This petition .Is iuld to have, been drawn up i by committees from the Charlotte "Ministerial Association, and the Charlotte r Medical , Society and others concerned in the move ment Two copies ' are . ; reputed to have been In circulation, .one in the hands ot a leading physician and the other In th -possession ot ft well known mlnlHf?r.' A majority , of the doctors are said to have signed it . While the petition asks-for v re moval of whiskey from the drug stores, no source of supply is desig nated whence , It- cs,n be , had. The question has been often p asked: "What is the ultimate, object of hoe fathering the petition T" Some say a medical, others a straight-out dis pensary. A very few hold that ab solute prohibition is sought - This question was asked by a lead Ing minister at a recent meeting, of tho committees. A doctor is said lo have' explained that ; all physicians were to supply themselves with a small quantity of Intoxicants in or der that it might bo at hand when needed. 1 1 , This explanation did not appear feasible: to the Inquiring minister And hi expressed himself against the petition. Another member of the ministerial committee present took the Kume.vlew of the matter. To gether they made things lively for the time being. While both werft strong ly In favor of prohibition, the plan suggested did not appear feasible ami they did not hesitate to say so. After discussing the situation care fully, these two members, the third concurring, .agreed to call a general meeting of all tho ministers of the city and county to be held In the parlors of the Young Men's Christian AsHoclatlon lo-morrow morning at It o'clock. The general temperance situation will he reviewed. Doubt less the Issue raised by the, foregoing IKtltlon will be discussed at length. A hchsIoii of considerable interest Is expected. While a majority of the physicians are said to have signed the petition, by no means all of them have done so. A number have been heard to express themselves against It, prin cipally because they do, not believe that it Is the proper rn"10d of go ing about the temperance question, "Why should the petition of 40-odd doctors have ho much more weight with th" powers that be than that of 40-odd private citizens." asked a lending physician a few days ago. "It is true ihnl we write the prescrip tions, aad In u measure control Its legal sale within th" city limits, but more than that we can do nothing. Isn't It rather undertaking a big thing to ask such radical legislation on such grounds. The taking of li quor from the drug storea is all right If something better Is proposed as a substitute. So far. T have heard nothing suggested which I blleve will solve the problem. 'Stand pat,' is my platform until something mani festly better Is proposed." MONKY srKNDKR.

Xn thew days of shifting f ;gulf streams, earthauakes, and Qyilkn ;skle, we' had better not risk a weather story until after midnight." Mr, Clement Maply contributes another fclory to the too meagre but rich Col. Bennett record. During the Legislature whtoh 'conducted the trial looking to the Impeachment of two Supreme Court Jus tice!, Col. : Bennett was seen quite fre quently about Raleigh. Mr. Manly was interested Ho know the colonel's position. but the ' colonel Wus evative. "Senator Leak, of your county, is against Im peachment.",.' said, Mr. Manly, In one of his Interviews with the colonel, 'and l have been thinking that you and he might be of the tame, persuasion," ' "Senator. Iak takes no Instructions' from me," was the evasive reply. At last, however, the colonel declared himself, "Young man," thld he, "you have nuked my opinion of this trial a great many times, and now I am about to tell you." lie said he had stood by the Democratic party, notwithstanding Its record as to tho recent constitutional amendment, against which, however, Jis voted. "Bui." said he. "if it perpetrates this grim Joke, I will leave the State barefooted at night." It's a pity Col. Bennett naan t a Bos- well. i A man ho Uvea near the South Tryon eroning of the railroad and obierves from his window the labor of the engines In hauling the heavy freight trains over that stubborn grade, says that he has cims to look upon the Iron horse almost an If they were animate. 'Several times lately trains have crow ed there so heivy." ald he, "thst the street cars would be dammed back three deep on each Side, not because the trains were no long, out so heavy, i no engines sained yard by yard, losing motion con stantly by slipping drive-wheeU. What advantage they may have from the mo mentum guinea on the level tney lose Dy having to atop at Tryon street, right In the middle of the climb. An engine, drawing a load of coal, alowly struggled up lo ihe halting point lo-day. and, save for the r.ult, might posi'bly havs cross ed the ridge. But she couldn't budge. THmo and time again she set her shoul der to it. and in often the drive-wheels spun round, leuvtrg her in her tracks. She shoved backward a few feet, .for a running start, bat could not regain her ground. It made me. in a sense, tired tc watch her. and ii must almost have exhausted the engineer. Qlantest that she was, the had to confess herself de feated. She relaxed and let ner ingd roll down grade, wharf the finally found an other engine to helh her. A man. who lives, at sucu u. place as mine will pever fait to understand' why railroads lavish their gold upon civil en gineers and tunnel through mountains to save uny small percentage of grade." What nccounlii for the small ambition shown among American boys for the Cecil Rhodes Hcli'larshlps? It Is said that there are a great muny vacancten In the 1'ntted States, and only one appli cant made his appearance for examina tion the other day at Chapel Hill. Iat enr, so they say. there was no apnll cunt In this State and Trantham, who sioimI the first examination with Win ston. Ihe first beneficiary, was sppolnteil on his record. It will be Lacy this year, cr. nobody. Perhaps the conditions of the appointment are not understood. But the fact that h carries SI.NW Per yesr, tshleh Is universally known, should be sufficient to annuo Inquiry. It cannot be that tho Americans are not well treated l y their English associates: for those who have gone to Oxford have stayed. The. Keglish papers have been kind in them and have taken no little interest In them. There is no gotsl rea son, to the mind of the ineligible, for the boys' surprising Indifference. The eff-hand notion would be that Ihe pros pect of n four i us' residence, In thai classic atmosphere, rich with noble tra ditions and history and offering ihe cul- thrul advantages or association wltn the rxst born and best bred of the strength or Knphind, would crowd the examinations whh young men. Doubtless they will be crowded tn a tew years.
