Holding up trains is so common in the West these days that it ex cites little comment. A little seven year old girl held one up in Iowa the other day. She flagged it and pre vented a wreck. it "friena win read a little more closely the editorial to which he re fers he will find that the sentence "for the Populist leaders to under take," &c, is the nominative to the verb, and that was is correct. The Emperor of China has de graded Lord Li, an adopted son of Li Hung Chang. Lord Li was Min ister to Japan. Unless the Li family is being considerably lied about it is getting more than its share of de grading. Chauncey M. Depew, the distin guished New York Republican, is of the opinion that the tariff question nas Deen settled for a long time to come. This being so all we have to do is to settle the Republican party and then we may jog along serenely on the highway of prosperity and content, . Henry Baker, a New Jersey farm hand, put his foot in it and wants his boss to pay him $1,000 damages. It was a spring trap which the old man had set to catch varmints. The trap took snap judgment on him and he wants to get even, as it were, by taking a legal snap at the old man's pocket book. George K. Holmes, a census ex pert, says the mortgage indebtedness of this country would foot up $11,- 000,000,000, which is about one-sixth of the total estimated wealth of the country. The Republican orators make no allowance tor this when orating on our great progress in get ting rich under Republican rule. Moses a. Katzenberger, who re cently died in Memphis, Tenn., was such a piscatorial sport that when dying he enjoined in his will that some of his fishing tackle be put in the coffin with his body, so that if there was any fishing in the region to which be was going he might be equipped to take a hand in it. As he didn't say anything about bait, he took his chances on that. We occasionally see or hear ot a red-haired Afro-American, as the hieb-toned colored brothers write it. This is not quite as much of a freak of nature as the tribe ot au burn-haired, blue-eyed, light-com- plexioned Indians found in Mexico. In the early days it is said blue-eyed Indians were found on the North Carolina coast, supposed to have been somewhat related to Sir Walter Raleigh's lost folks. A Shanghai dispatch to the Frank- fort Zeitung says Japan's programme, in the event she is victorious in China, is to divide the empire, into three independent kingdoms, placing each under a native ruler, one of whom is Li Hung Chang. Giving out this idea isn't such a bad deal. It is a sort of a bid for the good will of gentlemen who might have a hankering to have a kingdom " of their own, especially after being cuffed, deprived of their jackets and nlucked of their feathers as old man Ll has been. The Philadelphia Times, Indepen dent, thinks HIU will be defeated for Governor of New York, if he remains in the field and thinks he should de cline. The Times doesn't like Hill, but that is neither here nor there. Al though Hill has not yet been officially notified of his nomination, it is too late for him to decline, if he would, after his, although apparently reluct ant, acquiescence in what the Con vention did. We do not believe Hill is the weak man the Times seems to think him. If the Democrats of New York can't elect Hill, they can't elect anybody. The Morning The Philadelphia Ledger says that seventeen out of twenty-one Penn sylvania soldiers who recently drank water out of a well on the field of Gettysburg have been laid up with typhoid fev er, and some of them have died. Not much doubt that the ty phoid germs came from that well. Col. Cockerill, the vitriol-throwing editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser and Advertiser, has re signed and says he is going out of the business. He should. His tal ents fit him better for runninsr a vinegar-bitters factory or something of that kind. It is said that in one-fifth of the 10,000,000 families in France there are no children, and the patter of the little feet and prattle of the little tongues are never heard. What lonely dens those must be. A New York doctor asks "are we all hypnotized?" Well, not all; but those people who believe that Marion Butler isn't playing the fusion game with the Republican bosses to feather his own nest are. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Heinsberger School books. A.

Bern Sharps Baya That in AU Bat About Twelve Out of Seventy-five Counties He has Visited Hie Baoe Win Vote the Straight Republi can Ticket J. Sam Sbarpe, the colored editor of the Wilmington Herald, was in the city yesterday, savs the Raleigh News and Ob server. He has been travelling over the State in the interest of his paper, and has taken occasion during his goings to look into the political situation. Sharpe is intelligent, observant, con servative, and a straighout Republican, opposed in toto to fusion. I suppose," said he yesterdav. "that out of seventy-five counties that I have visited, that not more than twelve county chairman are in fayor of fusion. The fusion chairmen you will find in Monroe, Fayetteville, Wilson, Golds boro, Statesville, Lumberton, lackson- yiUe, and in Rockingham county, and in a few otner places, but m the rest of the seventy-five counties that I visited the Republicans are opposed to fusion and will have none of it." "Are those chairmen white or col ored ?' Most of them are colored.' Why do the colored people dislike the Populists more than they do the Democrats ? "You know we call the Populists, the Populist-fused, negro-hating ticket. It is headed now by the same crowd that started the White Man's Republican League in 1888 at Asheville, namely, Pritchard. Skinner and Mott. Thev fought the negro then and they will do it now. Marion Butler fought the building of a negro school a few years ago, ana stunner said it the negroes went to Heaven he didn't want to go. They were the leaders of the Kuklux, which was the tail of the Democratic party. "What will be the result of the defec tion of the colored people?" "it means the defeat of the Populist ticket by 75,000 majority. "Will that benefit you Republican col ored people any?" 9 res, it we have got to have Demo crats we want Democrats, but we don't want men who profess but don't possess. we prefer picking our own men or let ting things -go on as they are. In the convention which went for fusion here there were four or five white men to one colored man. It was all cooked up with utter disregard to the sentiment of our people. "In the Convention in which I was a delegate in Weldon, on June 28th last, where Cheatham was nominated, J. F. Dobson tried to run the machine the same way. "No, it won't do, the Populists are counting without their host, if "they bank on the colored vote for fusion. They are giving us no recognition now and we pro pose to give them none at the polls. GENTLEMEN'S RIVING CLUB. Vive Hundred Dollars Subscribed Grounds Will be Bought for a Baoe Track. The Gentlemen's Driving Club held a meeting last night in the City Court room. The meeting was called to order by Mr. R. B. Clowe, and Mr. Samuel J, Springer was secretary. Mr. Lodor asked that the Finance Committee be allowed more time to re port It was moved by Mr. I. B. Rhodes that they report at the next meeting, which was carried. The chairman asked that more time be given the Committee on Subscription, which was allowed. They have now sub scribed about five hundred dollars. lhe uub will proceed to secure grounds ind build a first-class track. It is proposed to be in readiness to offer races foi Gala Week to the W. W. W. Committee. Mess's. H. McClammy. Samuel Skin ner anc H. A. Whiting were added to the Finance Committee. It was proposed that the name of the Club bt changed to some kind of a fair association. Mr. P. Heinsberger, Jr., was asked to confer with the Carolina Cycle Club, to ascertain how many shares they would take, provided they were allowed to build a cycle track on the grounds. The meeting adjourned to meet again Monday night at 8 o'clock. Everybody interested is invited. Charleston Gala Week. Charleston has reconsidered the mat ter and will have a gala week. In this coniection, the annexed paragraph will prore of interest here : "There are many plans and projects advanced as to how the visitors should be entertained, but it seems likely that the programme will be made a good deal similar to that carried out on the first ont or two occasions, Of course a great many would like to have this Festival exzel all the others, but the time is so short now that it is doubtful if any very elaborate events could be arranged for. One excellent suggestion is that a rebate coupon be attached to every visitor's ticket, good for 20 per cent, of its ori ginal cost at any store, hotel or business place in the city, t1 or instance, the pur chaser of a ticket costing five dollars would be alike entitled to a dollar's worth of anything he chose to buy, and after the close of the Festival the treas urer of the Association would redeem these coupons at face value." A Good Illustration. The Hartford Daily Times says that merely as a business symptom perhaps nothing is more valuable than the state ment ot the American Bell Telephone Company of its business for the month ending September 20. "The net output of telephones during that time was 2,568. During the same month last year there was a net return or decrease of 2,826 instruments. Here is a difference of 6,394 instruments be tween the month in 1894 and in 1893. Even for the month ending August 20, therewasanet decrease of 822 instru ments, so that the change from this to an output of 2,668 during the subsequent month shows what an impetus was ad ministered to the business of the coun try between August 20 and September 20." Maj. Btedman in Joint Debate. A special of the 2nd from Tryon, N. C, to the Asheville Citizen says "Stedman and E wart met in joint debate at Columbus, Polk county, yesterday. Stedman made a great speech. E wart's was as good as could have been made from the Radical standpoint." I.

Joint Meeting of the Four .Lodges in the City-Steps Taken for the Erection of a Castlo for the Order.

Not in the Deal. Referring to the supposed sale of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad to the Louisville and Nashville and Atlan tic Coast Line.the News and Courier says One point was pretty well established by the inquiries made by this paper yes- terday.and that was that whatever may have been done in transferring the South Carolina and Georgia Road to a new management the Atlantic Coast Line system had no hand in it one way or an other. Last night we received the fol lowing dispatch from a prominent offi cial of the Atlantic Coast Line system: "The News and Courier, Charleston S. C: We are not negotiating for the purchase mentioned, either directly or indirectly. This, of course, sets at rest the suppo sition that the Atlantic Coast Line peo pie have anything to do with the deal it one is afoot. Schooner Etta H. Lister Lost.
