Oklahoma is now presumed to have entered upon the stages of civ ilization. She had her first legal hanging the other day.

The "hold-ups" of trains by "road agents were more than double last year what they were four years ago. But it must be remembered that last year was f'a Republican year." It is said that it will cost at least $200,000 to build a vessel to defend the America's cup. There are men in this country whose cups have cost them a good deal more than that. A commission of physicians in the city of New Orleans have, after tests, pronounced in favor of anti- toxine as a diphtheria cure, and rec ommended the establishment in that city of a plant for the production of the serum. , Speaker Crisp is suffering in health and will seek recuperation at Ashe- ville. We are not surprised that he is sick. The way things have been going on in Congress for sometime is enough-to make any good Demo crat sick.! The whipping post seems to be coming to the tront. a dui nas been introduced in the New York Legislature to establish it in that State, and in Tennessee a bill has been introduced allowing jurors to substitute whipping in lieu of impris onment and fines for persons con victed of: petty larceny. A murderer who was recently hanged at Chattanooga, Tenn., de clared oh the gallows that he would come back and haunt and make it hot for those who had a hand in his prosecution and execution. But - as he hasn't reported the opinion is that he failed to eet a return ticket when he went off. Some of the Republican statesmen say it is ; premature to undertase to reform the currency system now. They think this job should be de ferred until the country gets in a better condition. If a fellow had the colic and they were called on to doc tor him, we suppose they would wait until he got better. A letter of Senator Hill, written two years ago, has been reproduced and published, in whiel hp expressed the opinion -that the free coinage ot silver and the -repeal of the tax on State banks were the- way to victory for the) Democratic party in ltWb. But it seems to have taken him a long time to move on that line, but nprhans this was because be was so I r . . . r - r- absorbed in the efforts to knocK put the income tax. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, not only- unhesitat ingly declares that ''the Kentucky wArn an has not her like on the face of the earth," but that "in the Blue grass country a plain girlis the ex ception and an ugly one impossible,' and that "there isn't a farm house that can't produce a woman, who, if buv r.V. a ehsnlri: ctpn trom It UUUU a throne, would not stand there, or sit there, as If she were born to it." It is pretty safe to say w afrAr this utterance the Col. Will be solid with the Blnegrass girl. A- touching funeral is 'mentioned as haying taken place in Mnncie, lad"., a few days ago. The child of a poor family died. They had no money to buy a eoffin or pay funeral expenses.' The father made a little pine coffin, placed it with the! little corpse in it on a sled,! and two brothers drew it to the cemeterv. followed by the father and mother. That was the funeral. And vet Miincie is supposed to be a Civilized and a Christian community. Governor Morrill,of Kansas, stated in his inaugural address that it was estimated that $15,000,000 had been withdrawn from that State by East ern parties who had loans on ' real estate security, in consequence ot the political agitation and laws en acted, and that they refuse to invest in that State while such discrimina tion is shown against capital. , A - Western debating society is wrestling with the question whether the rungs of a ladder are put in to separate the sides or hold them to gether.

Poker, with a one-cent "ante" and a five cent limit, is said to be a very popular game with the Solons at Raleigh. It is of very little interest to us whether the Legislature makes it 6 per cent, or 10 per cent. Its the principal we are after. The Legislature is flooded with bills to "abolish"; bat there has been no hint yet of "abolishing" the Legislature. This will not come until the per diem ceases. Mr. Geo. C. Worth spoke to fifty-seven boys at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon. This is the largest boys meeting ever held there. Rev. R. E. Peele has promised to talk next Sun day. -The C. F. & Y. V. R.

Why does not Wilmington take a hand in the game that is being played to win some of the New England cot ton mills that are coming South? If necessary we can play the "sawdust" game by guaranteeing to furnish the mills with that commodity for fuel free of charge.

L Murphy is so well known here that the' following from the Char lotte News wiU be read with interest ; Dr. Murphy, ot the State Hospital at Morganton, has been here for several days past. .Rumor has it that his visit is quite an important one. The Republi cans are surely going to turn out every Democratic office-holder that they can. and if Dr. Murphy does not have to go. it will.not be their fault. However much the unfortunates . of the State may suffer. it matters not so long as the Democrats are bounced. 2" The News understands that the ob ject of Dr. Murphy's visit here is to buy a tract of fifty acres of land near the city, upon which he will erect an asylum for the benefit of this section of the State. The News hopes that the report is true. The unfortunates at Morgan - ton would be pitied, but the hundreds who would come under the care ot Dr. Murphy in his Charlotte institution would be congratulated. Koignte of Honor.

Interest Bill Diiouued and Made the Special Order for Wed nesday In the Senate Bill Introduced to Amend Insurance Laws and Pro vide a Reformatory for "Young Orimi- Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh. N. C, lanuary 21. Both Senate and House met this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The most important of the bills introduced in the Senate were : To provide a reformatory for young criminals. To supply shoes to inmates of State charitable institutions. To amend the insurance laws of North Carolina. To require convict-made goods to be labelled. Most of the session of the Senate was consumed in discussion of the six per cent, interest bill, introduced early in the session by Senator Abell, Democrat, of Johnston. The Populists resorted to dilatory tactics by moving that the bill be postponed till Wednesday, but Mr. Abell made a ringing speech and ap pealed for immediate action, declaring that this "Fusion" Legislature dared not refuse to pass this bill. After consider able debate the bill was made the special order for Wednesday, and the Senate adjourned. Bills were introduced in the House to-day as follows: To prohibit county officers serving more than two terms. To protect the shell-fish interest of North Carolina. To incorporate the town ot Mar- garettsville. To organize the county of Scotland. Several local bills passed a third read ing in the House; among them one to incorporate the town of Legett, in Edgecombe county. A long debate was caused by a bill providing for the extension of time for collecting taxes in Macon and other Western counties. It was finally re ferred to the Finance Committee. LBy Son-hern Associated Piets. Raleigh, N. C. January 29. The proceedings in the Fusion General As sembly to-day were of an uninteresting nature. A proposition to make six per cent, the legal rate of interest was dis cussed at some length in the Senate. A six per cent, bill will doubtless pass both Houses, Marion Butler and Jeter C Pritchard, the nominees of the Fusion caucus, will to-morrow be balloted for as U. S. .Sen- tors. AUDIT AND FINANCE. Proceedings of the BeguUr. Monthly Meeting Tha Board Agree to a Propo sition of the Finance Committee ot the Board of Aldermen to Bond the City's Plotting Debt to the Amount of $50,- O0O. The Board of Audit and Finance met yesterday afternoon in regular session, Mr. K. 1. Jones, chairman, presiding. The Finance Committee of the Board of Aldermen Mayor Fishblate and Al dermen Moore and Latimer were pres ent, and submitted a proposition to fund the floating debt of the city and to issue bonds therefor to the amount of $50, 000. ; ' Mr. Fishblate laid two propositions be fore the Board : One from Sam'l Rosen thai of Baltimore to take $50,000 ot city bonds at 6 per cent, interest redeemable in thirty years, and a proposal from Messr Blair & Co., of New York city, to take $50,000 of city bonds at 6 per cent.; paid bonds to run, from one to ten years; j $5,000 payable each year, Messrs. Blair s lo. further agreeing to take" the bonds at par, and to allow the city $250 for printing the same and for travelling expenses of the Mayor to New York. The matter was discussed at length. The Mayor urged the necessity of bond ing the floating debt upon which 8 per cent. Interest was now paid, and it was finally agreed that the floating debt should be bonded, and that the proposition of Messrs. Blair & Co. was the most acceptable of the two. Mayor Fishblate said that it would be necessary to secure the pass age of an act by the Legislature au thorizing the proposed issue of bonds, and that an ordinance and bill would be presented to the Board of Aldermen and Board of Audit and Finance for ap proval. This was agreed to, The Board approved bills for current expenses amounting to $664.44; coupons paid, $210; expenses on coupons, $1,190; interest on note, $600. The Board also approved the recom mendation of the Police Committee of the Board of Aldermen that the salary of the late S. B. Dudley as policeman, for the'month of January, be paid to his widow. The Board refused to concur in the action of the Board of Aldermen in ap proving the bill of City Attorney Man ning for legal services, amounting to $100, land bill of M. Bellamy & Son, attorneys for Aldermen Harriss and Northrop. r S f . The State Quard. North Carolina would be in a nice "fix" without her State Guard. Scenes would follow in which' mobs and law breakers generally would fairly revel. If Wilmington were without her military companies, how long would it be before the necessity for these organizations would be keenly felt?; No one but a knave or a fool would think for a mo ment of abolishing the State Guard.

SEABOARD AIR LINE. It Ia Buying and BuUdisc Bailrosd. and Is Bow Making for Birmingham and Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Times says The great Seaboard Air Line a rail way passing through Virginia and the Carolinas to Atlanta, Ga. a railway that has never defaulted on its interest and is in the hands of great capitalists, will at an early date extend its line to Chattanooga, and from here on to Bir mingham, Ala. This is no new story. It has been discussed for some months past with some Chattanooga people, and va rious plans have been under considera tion. , It was at one time contemplated to take up the abandoned Chattanooga and Augusta scheme, building a new line from Gainesville, Ga., throueh North Georgia via Ellijay to Chattanooga. This now seems to have been abandoned and the story now goes that the route is to be via the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum bus to Chattanooga, and from here via the Chattanooga Southern to Birming ham. It is stated upon good authority that the Seaboard Air Line has purchased tne bast and west road extending from Cartersville to Pell City, Ala., a distance of 117 miles. This road is to be at once extended into Birmingham, where already terminal facilities have been secured through a suburban line. The j Chatta nooga southern, which is positively to be sold by the court Jan. 31. is also to be extended from Gadsden to Pell -City. The Seaboard Air Line will also build from Wanda, ten miles east of Atlanta. to Cartersville, Ga , a distance of about fifty miles. Thus a complete system will ie established rom Norfolk, Va., via Ra leigh, N. C and Atlanta to Chattanoo ga, and via Gadsden to Birmingham, also via Cartersville and Cedartown i to Bir mingham via Pen City. The Chattanoo ga, Rome and ColumbdS, the Chattanoo ga Southern and the East and West road will all thus be brought into great prom inence, l be benefit to Chattanooga will be very great as it will give this citv an other and very important cutlet to the sea. Further developments will be await ed with interest. SENATOR RANSOM, j A Warm Tribute from One Who Knows Him "Well. Mr. J. S. Cohen, the Washington cor respondent of the Atlanta Journal, says of Senator Ransom: Senator Ransom is the best represen tative of the Southern Senator as a type. Brave, generous, proud and poor. tie nas been on the theatre of public life since he was a youngling. The breath of scandal has never touched his toga, the man does not live who claims that he ever went back on bis word. personal or political. In his manner he is a Chesterfield ian, in the true sense, as courteous to the poor and lowly as to the rich and powerlul. As a senator ne nas long borne rep utation lor intelligence and faithfulness to convictions, which has won him high esteem and made him a power of good to his State. As a soldier he won"" high place, surrendering at Appomattox as Maior-ueaeral, while entering the serv ice of the South as a Lieutenant-Colo nel. As an orator he has many brill iant parts, but owing to a heart affection has spoken but seldom in the past few years. His retirement from the Senate is taken as a distinct bereavement by every Senator, either on the Republican or Democratic side, ibe same might be said of all the Southerners in Washing ton, tor with them all he is kind and af fectionate, and occupies a warm place in their hearts, SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS. A Hot Campaign Ahead The Democrats the Bepublioans, the Tillmanitea and the Colored Preachers All In It. The Columbia State gives the follow ing summary of the political outlook in South Carolina : "The Constitutional Convention cam paign seems about to open. From the 6th of February, which is now very close at hand, the campaign for the election of delegates to this convention mav be dated. The indications are that with the Republican party reorganized and the negro preachers working their congregations there will be a most ex traordinary fight in every county. To show how much importance the Reformers attach to the convention to be held on the 6th, calling for. the re juvenation of the Republican corpse, needs but to be mentioned that Senator Irby has called the State "Democratic" executive committee together, the meet ing to be held on the night ol the otu of February, the night before the con vention. The information that the committee has been called to meet on this date comes from a reliable source! Doubt less. Senator Irby will have considerable to say about it all. i NOTHING BETTER EXPECTED. The Action of the Fop. .Legislature on Lee's Birthday. Petersburg . Index-Appeal The Populists of the North Carolina Senate voted down a joint resolution to adjourn over from Friday evening to Monday in order to observe General Lee s birthday. As a usual three the average Populist legislator is a mon strosity; but in North Carolina he must beat the record. The Legislature of any Southern State which refuses to honor the memory 'ot the greatest Southern soldier does not represent the people of that State. But nothing better could have been expected qf the persons who have come to the top iin North; Carolina as a result of the fusion of the most unworthy elements of the State Working the " Quad." j The Star is always glad to hear of anything that contributes to the success of Lee Angel, who has so many friends in Wilmington, and it reproduces with pleasure this from the Richmond Times; "Mr. L.
