The farmers have been considering facts for quite a while and that's why they have come to the conclusion that there is a screw loose in the financial machinery, and that an overhauling would be condu cive to their prosperity and con tribute to their comfort. They want a change which will put more change in their pockets. The New York Sun, which now shines for Hanna and McKinley, rises to remark that "Every honest money vote is needed," and sup plements this with the further obser vation that the only way to make the honest money vote effective is to plump it in for McKinley, "the only honest, money candidate who can possibly win." McKinley, the honest money candidate. That's good. The New York Sun, which now shines for Hanna and McKinley, has made one convert to McKinley. Moses H. Cane, who, under the signature of "Merchant," dished up a good deal of sound money litera ture for some of our North Carolina papers, writes the Sun that he couldn't resist its powerful pleas and will vote for McKinley. A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch repre sents Senator Sherman as very much alarmed at the outlook, and urging that the campaign be opened at once to check the progress of the free sil ver movement. There must be something very serious the matter when Senator Sherman permits him self to warm up or show any symp toms of excitement. Mr. Bryan's advice is "keep cool." Very good advice, although it isn't an easy thing to do with the mer cury up in the nineties and the breezes off on a vacation. But polit ically it is good, advice too. When things get most mifceJ, that's the best time to keep the head level and give the tongue a rest. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew has re? turned from Europe and brought his mouth back with him.

C FRI QUESTION OF FUSION. DEMOCRATS OPPOSED TO ANY PROP OSITION OF THE KIND. PopuliiU Beady to Fate with" Anybody Meeting Board of Trnateee of the State 'TJni-VfMity Election of Pof. Aldei , man Almost Alanred Gaae of Bant troke Governor Can and Family.. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, July 30. There can be no doubt about the op position of the average Democrat to anv proposition or suggestion of fusion be tween Populists and Democrats on State matters. The question of putting out a combine electoral ticket of Populists and Democrats is one of expediency, though there are a number of Demo crats who favor it. They are honest in their advocacy of such a ticket, because they do not desire to jeopardize Mr. Bryan's chances in this State. The Populist party stands ready to fuse. It will consider propositions from every source. -The Populists are sap posed to hold the balance of power. The leaders of the party are using that power and mostly for trading purposes. The Democrats can hardly be trapped, for any victory won by a combination with Populists would be temporary only and would certainly impair the strength of the organization. It is not believed for an instant that Mr. Mason, Mr. Aycock or any of the other nominees have considered the propriety of retiring in favor of Popu lists. The Board of Trustees of the Uni versity of North Carolina meet here Friday to attend a special meeting for the purpose of electing a successor to Dr. Winston. The election of Prof. E. A. Alderman is almost assured. A prominent trustee tells me that he thinks there will be comparatively little opposition to Prof. Alderman's election to the presidency of the .university. A countryman was affected with a case of sunstroke this morning about 10 o'clock and came very near dying. He has been removed to the hospital. Gov. Carr and family are expected to return to the city Friday from their trip to the Western part ct the State. Three excutstons passed through here to-day via the Southern Railway. Two of these were from Durham en route for Norfolk, and the third was from Ash boro, bound for Wilmington, . Chairman . H. Pou, Mai. E. T, Hale, k. w. MacKett and: several members of. the Executive Committee, are already here. Nearly all the delegate s here dis countenance any proposition looking to wards fusion with Populists. The meet ing will be held to-night at 3 p. m. CAPT. WISE'S REPORT. IT o the Editor of the Star. The report cf Gapt. Wise, of the Amphitritc, on the N. C. Naval Bat talion, has created quite a furore among our sailor boys. Capt. Wise seems to have a wonderful facility for comment ing adversely on the body of men who stand higher than any other battalion in the South in efficiency. That Capt Wise had any motive in thus criticising our battalion to the Department we are not prepared to state; but to say the least of the matter it clearly shows 'sour grapes." The N. C. Battalion were very much opposed to taking this season's cruise aboard the Amphttrite, well knowing the condition ot the ship; she being so hot and uncomfortable that the men could take no interest in the work; and, on the other hand, the instructions by the Amphttrite s officers were not such as should have been given the N. C. Bat talion. It is to be regretted that Capt. Wise should just at this time see fit 10 spring bis coup de etat, if it may be called such. Capt. Wise evidently has for gotten the work done on the old bat tered hulk, Nantucket, sent here by the Department, solely by the N. C. Naval Battalion, and he also loses sight of the fact that they man every por tlon of this old ship on her trips down the river. Without doubt the North Carolina battalion have done better work than any other battalion in the United States, excepting the New York and Massachusetts Reserves, and when an unprejudiced officer is sent to criti cise the men he will then see the em ciency of the North Carolina men above others. Capt. Wise seems to have oply 'skimmed the whole cruise, and evi dently did not take the trouble to make a thorough investigation, as the inspec tion, of which he speaks, was by Inspector General Smith, an infantry officer, assisted by Maj. Hayes, who were ordered there by the Governor of North Carolina. It is quite evident that the impartial and benevolent Capt. Wise entirely neg lected to state that he failed to return the official visit of Lieut. Commander Morton, commanding N. C. battalion, within twenty-four hours, as specifically stated in the naval regulations. It might be well, when making a report, for Capt. Wise to make a full one. j CITIZEN. Another Hot Day. The mercury climbed up to 98 degrees yesterday, as recorded at the Weather Bureau station; but in thermometers belonging to private persons it reached 100 degrees in the shade; at Yates' book store on Front street, the record was 100i degrees. There was a fine breeze from the southwest, however, the greater part of the day, and late in the after noon the temperature fell to 78 degrees under the influence of a thunder storm northwest of the city and a cooling shower of rain. The Bureau report for the 24 hours ended at 8 a. m. yesterday gave maxi mum temperatures as follows : Char lotte, 96 degrees; Goldsboro, 100; Greensboro, 93; Lumber ton, 99; New bern, 94; Weldon, 99. The weather was clear and hot over the whole cotton belt; the average maxi mum temperature in the Vicksburg dis trict was 100; Little Rock, 102; Mobile, 100; New Orleans, Galveston, Charles ton, Augusta, 98. DOH'T DO IT. Don't go calling just about the time your neighbor's supper bell is to ring, for you not only delay the evening meal but may also prevent your friends fill ing some engagement for the evening, besides detaining the warm, worn-out and tired servants who desire to return home early to cool and rest - before re tiring for the night this excessively hot weatner. i . a.

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 8 elected by the State Democratlo Executive Committee Committee Undecided 'on Q, lection cf Demooratio-Popu- " liat Fation. Special Star Telegram.' Raleigh, July 80. Twenty-six mem bers of the Democratic Executive Com mittee were present at the meeting to night and the absent members were represented by proxy. Clement Manly, of Winston, was elected chairman ol thecommittee. ,A number of speeches were made by members, - A campaign committee, consisting of nine, which is much smaller than the old campaign committee, was selected, as follows: J. H. Pou, F. M. Simmons. T.S. Carr, J. P., Caldwell, J. R. Webster, T. I. Tarvis, E. C. Smith, T. F Klutz and E.J.Hale. i It is very doubtful whether the ques tion of Democratic-Populist fusion on electors will be taken up to-night. Many of the members of the committee are undecided as to the proper course to pursue and express no opinion. It is claimed that the middle-of-the-road Democrats are in the majority. R. N. Hackett, W. D. Mclver and some others are of the opinion that it would be wise to recognize the Populists on the elec toral ticket. The tendency is to await the advice of Chairman Tones and the National committee. This will surely be the course, and whatever the Na tional Committee recommends will be endorsed. Aycock, the nominee for Treasurer, is of this opinion. A -member of the committee intro duced a resolution which in substance says that there is great 'danger of divi sion of silver fotces with two Bryan elec toral .tickets in the field; that there should be a union of all silver forces in the coming campaign in order to secure victory, and that the Democratic party believes in honorable co-operation of all the silver forces. Chairman Manly addressed the com mittee, counselling harmony. His speech was favorable to the resolution. Paul B. Means spoke strongly against it. He said that it would create a panic in North Carolina, and the Democratic party could not assume to make a truce. "How are we going to make a combina tion with the Populists?" he asked. The idea is abhorent to my mind. Where would you get the electors? Do you suppose that Mr. Douglass would come down?" At this point, Col. Means was interrupted by an elector who said that he would retire if the committee deemed it best. The statement was loudly applauded. At 12.10 o'clock a prominent member told me that the resolution will pass. 8 Later A motion was made to ad journ until to-morrow morning. The candidates are called upon to ad dress the people. Nominee Cy Watson leads off ; the others will be heard. It is thought that adjournment will be had until to-mor row without taking action on the reso lution. BICYCLE RACES To Take Flaoe To-dy 'in Chulotie-Iiarge Attendance Expected. To-day the bicycle races will be pulled off at Charlotte at 5 o'clock p. m. and there will be the largest number of wheelmen entered that have ever parti cipated in any meet in this State. Yes terday's Charlotte Observer pays "Little Trilby Turrentine" quite a compliment. showing that he has lowered all of his former records on the circular track. It says : Mr. JfranR Turrentine claims more than passing attention among the bi cyclists on account of his wonderful "spurt and power of endurance for one so young at the business. He has never won a prize in a race, yet he ran one- quarter mile yesterday in 20 seconds. This feat puts him in the front rank! and he can be classed at once with Adams, Schade and Baird. Wouldn't it be glorious if this small "Tar Heel' should run in first in one of the open races and defeat the mighty crack-a- jacks! Charlotte must pull for home men and cheer them on to doughty deeds of valor. Turrentine is a cousin of Mrs.-C. M. Davidson, of this city.who is entertaining him during his stay in Charlotte. Schade, Adams, Baird, Riley. Max well, Fant, McDoweil, Saunders, Ran kin and Allison will arrive to-day from Anderson, At the Greenwood races there was an attendance of 3,800. The town's popu lation is only 1,200, so they must have drawn heavily on the country around. Should it not rain and Charlotte and vicinity turn out to see the races like those South Carolina folks, the club would have about 60,000 spectators to take care of. It will be many a year before Char lotte can gather again on this track such a galaxy of stars so you had best go to the races. Warziiag Against Bid Melons. The Sanitary Board of Savannah, Ga has issued a circular to residents of that city cautioning them against the indiscriminate eating of melons : Without doubt there is a good deal of sickness caused at this season by eating sickly melons. In hundreds of water melon patches now the vines are dying from the heat of the sun, and the half grown melons left on the vines are being ripened by the same cause. These melons can be easily detected. They have a yellow, sunburned appearance on one side, and tne green ot the rind is not of that vivid type which marks the healthy melon. There is often a neck at one end of the melon, with a tend ency to rot. The flesh of these melons will be found to be pale and not a bright red. These melons are likely to be of fered In great quantities in the next few weeks, and it is just as well that the peo ple should be put on notice that they are unhealthy.
