The New York Herald of Sunday . carries a most Interesting two-page colored chart "Depleting Political Conditions Doubtful, Certain and Vised States." The Herald's sum mary represents present condition thus: Total vote In electoral college 4S3 Majority necessary to choice 24J Republicans reasonably :-ure of l.'ii Democrats reasonably sure of 161 Republicans to win must gain M Democrats must gain Kl On hundred and sixteen votes are . listed as doubtful, these being repre sented by 'Colorado, Indiana, Mary land, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Vw York, Utah, South Dakota, . Wisconsin and West Virginia. Only th 14 Southern State (these In cluding Kentucky. Missouri and Okla homa) and Nevada are reckoned sure for Bryan. There is another list scheduled as "surprise States," fur nishing II electors. These Stales are California, Georgia, Kentucky, Mis souri, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island. There are not sufficient reasons, The Herald says, to place them In the doubtful column, and so all of them are in cluded in the above table, divided be tween the parties according to their respective votes four years ago. Borne of The Herald's headlines are Illuminating, as for Instance: "For mer Elections Are Laid Down as Pre cedents, H'nt In the Present Circum stances Thre Are New futures Which Aro Puzzling Even to the Wisest Prophets." "That Hryan la; Btronger Than Ever ISofore Is Admit ted." "Stories From the Middle West and West Show That He Is Making a Valiant Fight, While In tho East, on the Surface at Least, His Party Is United for Him." "NAv Tork Situation Is Grave, It Is Admit ted, and the Machine Republican Are Being Forced to Work for the Re-election of a Man They Admit They Dislike." The peculiar value of the figure above given and the comment as embodied in the headline lies in the fact that The Herald Is rmtuhly ac curate in Its election calculations. It would probably not like to have its present calculations accepted as a definite forecast for the election is seven weeks distant from to-day and within that time rrmny and violent fluctuations may occur. CXJrrELAXB AND "IMPERIALISM. " j There is at least ene passage in the alleged 'Cleveland, article, published by (The New Tork Times August 0th. which goes far to establish Its genu ineneaa in cur minds. We do. not recall any deliverance made by Mr, Cleveland on, the Issuo of "imperial-H Ism." which we paramounted In 1900, but If he did not write the following sentences,' which occur in The Times article, he might have done so tor little Is risked In saying that they ex press his sentiments: Dwelling on the unwisdom of prema turely acquiring colonies Is fatuous, the national duty Is neither to keep those colonies for their exploitation nor to cast them off to avoid the burden of their re sponsibilities. The questions involved are no more matters to De narrowea tnrougn the mill of politics than is the policy of XIIXED BY THE SHOCK. the Panama Canal something to be stamped either as Republican or Demo cratic." This is the statesman-like view of this subject. Clearly Mr. Cleveland thought the Philippines were acquir ed prematurely; equally he thought that having assumed those responsi bilities it would be criminal and craven to cast tnem on to avoid me burden." We do not see how there can be any argument about either of these propositions. We had no busi ness in the Philippines In the first place, but having loosened the hold of Spain, a civilized power, upon them, and taken possession, we can by no means vacate them, leaving our allies here to an unfriendly fate and leav ing the natives to lapse into a deeper barbarism than they knew before Our China Grove correspondent told in yesterday's paper of two citi zens of his town who have Just pro cured a patent on one of the most extraordinary inventions of the age ono which, he says, "promises when nut on the market to make them known and talked of the world over. After many year of labor and study they have perfected the Monarch au tomata burglar alarm which when Installed in a dwelling not only starts an alarm but lights up the house and Indicate the room which the burglar is attempting to enter, and at the same time makes a photograph of the burglar. It Is also so arranged that In case an attempt Is made to enter the housa while the occupants are away the date and hour the attempt was made is registered." This Is the most benevolent snap we ever heard of. It would be worth going mile to see it In action. no wiaxxmi: i oiioa;o.

Sehulze being interviewed This notice is being posted on cot ton gins throughout the Mississippi cotton belt: "You are ordered to stop your gin at once and not resume until further order. We are not your enemy, but your friend. So take heed and close, for we Intend to have our rights." This is of a piece with Kentucky night-riding and It Is said that Mississippi planter have feared such action for some time, owing to the low price of cotton. It Is full of suggestlvenes. It ha come to be a serious question in some parts of the United States whether a man can pur sue his usual mode of life, earning his living In his own way without mo lestation of others or whether he must hold himself subject to the or ders of lawless regulators who hold that none have any rights except themselves. The slaying of a girl by a lunatic In the' Methodist church at Rtartown, t'atawt.a county, Sunday morning, was one of the most shocking trage dies In the recent history of the State. It was one of those events against which no human foresight can pro vide, for while tho slayer had been under treatment at the State Hospital at Morganton he was apparently In mental health. He doeH not seem to have been under suspicion In the community and evidently the girl her self had no apprehension of Injury at his hands.

Special to The Observer. Newton, i Sept. 1 4. Another chap ter has been added to the horrible tragedy that took- place in Startown yesterday, and another shock of sud den death came to the, hearts of the bereaved household. Mr. Henry Bullinger. whose heme I near Ball's Creek In the eastern section of the county,'' had been to j Hickory Saturday with hi wife to attend Gentry's show. On his way home he stopped to spend the night with his brother, Mr. Levi Bullinger. When preparing yesterday afternoon to continue his Journey homeward, he learned of the sorrow that had fallen upon his cousin's home, so decided to go over to that house.- On ar riving there, accompanied by his wife and brother Letft, Mr. Henry Bullinger was met at the door by thai grief-stricken parents, and after speaking to them he passed through the house and took his seat, calling to his brother to sit beside him. Scarcely had his request been granted, when without a word he tottered in his chair and fell over dead. Last i night two bodies lay side by side in that darkened home,- and to-day two funerals took place from the same roof. Miss Bullinger was laid to rest In the Baptist -churchyard In Star town at 2 o'clock, and Mr. Bullinger was burled at 4 o'clock In old St. Paul's graveyard, about two miles away. Thus sleep the young maiden of 18 years and the old man over whose head had rolled 65 winters. Startown is a name given to a sec tion of country west of Newton, but there is a small number of houses, several churches and a graded school clustered in one part of this neighbor hood. The Sunday .school is a union one and was held in the Methodist church, while Miss Bullinger was herself a Baptist. After much sifting the true version of the killing has been obtained. Miss Bullinger was the organist and Kader sat behind her singing all during the services. At the close most of those present left by a door near the pulpit, while after closing the organ Miss Bullinger,' accom panied by her sister and followed by Kader, passed down the aisle towards the front door. When a few feet away the girl (topped to pick up her parasol from one of the seats. In stantly the maniac made a plunge at her, driving his knife Into her head near tho ear, slashing down' ward and euverlng the Jugular vein The girl gave one scream and fell over dead. Mr. Yates Kllllan was a few seats behind, closing the church windows. He sprang at once to the rescue, but not before several stab had been given and even after as slutance reached the girl, so desperate was the maniac, that he still con- unuea sinning. finally he was overcome and carried to his home where he quietly remained until the sheriff went for him in the after tioon. Kader had threatened Miss Kulllnger's life before he was taken to the asylum in the spring. He glories In his deed and expresses re gret only that he did not do It sooner The knife he used had a five or six- inch blade, tapering to a sham DOint. it was one that opened with a spring and was men nekl open by the same spring. After being captured Rader said he had waited on the porch of Mr. Itobert Conrad's home yesterday to kill the girl as she passed through the yard on her way to Sunday school, but by the time she came a number of men were standing around, so ne postponed the deed. - : " "V" : " CO.VFEREXCKS OF, LEADERS. v The Demooratlc-Nomtnatkm For Gov rnor of Xevr.

Jus tice Gerard has long Been prominent In Democratic councils In New York Ciry and was elected last fall to the Supreme Court bench. Significance has been attached to the fact that while each has a dif ferent candidate, it was announced from authoritative sources that there Is an absolute understanding between Chairman Conners and leader Mur phy. The name of Supreme Court Justice Phillip H. Dugro, of New York City, was also brought into the discussion of candidates for first place on the ticket to-day and it was intimated that he wa looked upon by Tam many Hall with favor. The friends of Congressman Wil liam Sulzer continued his candidacy to-day and declared they felt sure of 125 votes. A delegation of 100 Glmlra Demoorats arrived this even ing to urge the cause of Colonel David C. Robinson, of Chemung. The Democratic State committee at a meeting to-night voted to seat the contesting antl-McCarren delegates in the sixth and ninth districts of Kings county.

They even apply paint to the flowers they sell to admiring strangers. "There are also big scamps down there who operate on a scale of mag nitude, as a certain New Orleans capi talist can testify. About a year ago this New Orleans man was approach ed by a very serene, elegantly dress ed and fins-looking Mexican who bore good letters of Introduction. In elo quent tones the visitor told of a large tract of land in the State of Coahulla that could be bought for one-fourth its real value. It would be worth some day not less than $1,000,000 and could now be had for the beg garly amount of $200,000. All this and much more, and as an evidence of good faith, the New Orleans gentle man was asked to go in person to aee the property. "He listened and listening fell. To be brief, he went, saw the tract which was finer and bigger than many a principality, and considered it ' dirt cheap at the price asked. The seller only asked 25,000 cash and this the other party put up In association with a couple of friends, who were let in cn the good thing. It was the grand ett speculation of their lives. "To-day three sorrowing and re vengeful New Orleans men are hunt ing the world over for a wily greaser, tawny of skin and fluent of speech, who, in the absence of the real owner In Europe, sold them one of the rich est estates In the land of the Montezu- mas. The titles, which he delivered them, as they subsequently found, were forgeries that called for some barren mountainous sections that wouldn't bring 5 cents an acre." MTIIMIillllllniiiiunni ' .

New York Tribune. Calling a new type of reflecting tel escopo which is being built for him a small working model, although its diameter will be half as great as that of the big Yerkes telescope, Prof. Robert W. Wood, of Johns Hopkins University, declares that if it gives satisfaction he will construct a giant Instrument of this kind. Th. builders of th Lick and Yerkes telescopes are making the model from drawings and specifica tions furnished by Professor Wood, and he expects to receive it soon at his private laboratory, in East Hamp ton. Long Island. Popularly described, this new type of reflecting telescope may be said to consist of a flat, circular basin, filled with mercury and set In motion by means of an electric motor. By altering the epeed of rotation the focal length of the Instrument can be varied at will, but Professor Wood says it is Impossible now to tell what diameters are attainable in this way. What the dimensions of the giant telescope will be has not been deter mined, therefore, but that It will astonish the scientific world there Is little douot in tne minas oi x-roiessor Wood's friends.

Boston Transcript The silver trade dollar a seldom seen or heard from these days, un less as a curiosity representing one of the freaks of our coinage system In the past. It was withdrawn from circulation many years ago but re cently it has been making its reap pearance in Brooklyn in sufficient numbers to cause the arrest of some caught passing it among small tradesmen, and a Wall street banking firm, w-hich Is charged with passing the coin at 75 cents on tho dollar, may be haled Into court to explain. These pieces were coined 35 years ago to facilitate trade with China and Japan, but soon outgrew their use fulness, if they ever Tiad eny. and have long been obsolete as money, notwithstanding the fact that they have eieven and a half more grains of silver than the standard dollar of that metal. - Shaves Two Men at Once.
