The man without a -conscience either wasn't built right or he is sadly out of gear, and people who come into contact with him may ex pect to be worsted unless they keep both eyes wide open. As a general rule conscience does not play a very conspicuous part in politics, though that is no reason why it shouldn't, but it doesn't necessarily follow from this that the average American citl zen does not recognize any moral re sponsibility for the part he plays in politics. He knows that when he is espousiag one or the other side of a question, and voting for men to carry out certain policies, he is per forming a very important office, and he justifies his action on tbe plea that the party for which he votes is in a general way better than the party against which be votes, and thus he eases any conscientious scruples he might have in voting for some meas ures that his judgment, or, as some might put it, his conscience may not approve. The man who governs his political action by his conscience must com mand respect, but in order to do it . he must be consistent and his con science must not be too closely linked to his self Interest, for in that case he is liable to be suspected of being influenced by a more potent power than conscience. We. bear more of conscience these days than usually and what is remarkable is that it comes from men who have heretofore stood square up to the party rack and never discovered that they were handicapped by an over sensitive conscience until the- ma jority of the party, to which they were attached struck the financial question and pronounced for a policy of which they did - not ap prove. We do not mean by this to say that these are either bad people or bid citizens, or that they did any thing disreputable or culpable in their political affiliations, but it is somewhat remarkable that their con- science had never got mto the habit of asserting itself until it ran up against free silver 'ai. 16 to 1. Unfortunately for- their peace of " mind they are not equipped with a 16 to 1 conscience, although their fathers managed to worry along with it for eighty odd years, lived re spected, enjoyed the reputation of being patriots, died honored, and ten ucuwu mem memories tnat are cherished. , I I But assuming that it is really con science and not something , less creditable that stands between the man who calls himself a Democrat and the free coinage of silver,- and that listening to the promptings of this conscience this man who calls himself a Democrat declares that he must part company with the irood fellows he had been acting with for years and cast his vote for the Re publican national ticket, it occurs - to us that there are two sides to this question and that conscience ought to nave a iair snow and not be re quired to, do either .an inconsistent nor a ludicrous thing. If party plat forms were so arranged and subdl vided that the conscientious voter could choose what he approved, vote for that and reject the rest it would be a very nice arrangement for the scrupulous conscience, but unfortu nately-party platforms are not bunt that way and cooscience hasn't any choice in the matter if it votes at lt; for it must take the thing as a whole, gulp it down, blink its eyes ana swallow the bad with the good, th bitter with the sweet. If the conscience swayed gold Democrat who declares that he will vote for McKinley because he can't endorse Bryan, could cull McKtn ley's platform, single out the money plank which he likes and vote on that alone, he and his conscience might not meet with so much embarrass ment, and might act with more con sistency, but when to show his dis approval of that horrid 16 to 1, he requires his conscience to dodge while he votes for measures which he bad been denouncing as the culmina tion of iniquity in politics, he treats his conscience with contempt and puts himself in an attitude that is very far from being consistent or creditable. When he votes for Mc Kinley he practically, however much he may protest to the contrary, votes to undo the good that his votes may have done in the past, and endorses all that he had by his votes de nounced in the past when his con science was as fully grown as it is now. Think of a Southern Dem ocrat with a fully developed conscience, in the year 1896, and with thirty odd years' experience with and knowledge of the Republican party, voting for (not a man but) a party whose record bristles with leg islation and acts infamous enough to damn a score of parties, a record which embraces acts which for a time turned the South into a politi cal hell and which if they had be come tbe established order would have made it a perpetual hell. Re construction, force bills, civil and social equality, military domination to set aside the ballot in time of peace and put thieves and libertines into power over the ballots and pro tests of the people, exorbitant sec tional tariff legislation that plundered the many for the benefit of the few, trusts, monopolies, combines, boun ties, land-grabs, and a score of other villainous things we might mention, are- the things that the Southern Democrat ho hasn't a 16 to 1 con science must swallow and endorse, and ease up his conscience on when he stultifies himself by. voting for McKinley in prtference to the man whom millions of as good, patriotic and conscientious citizens as breathe are cordially and enthusiastically supporting. These conscious-professing Dem ocrats ought to give their conscience a fair showing, and not make it ashamed of itself. BUTLE RS DEAL. The proceedings of the Populist Convention at Raleigh Wednesday were doubtless a serious disappoint ment to Candidate Russell and his adherents, who had been hoping to the last that some combination might be made bywhich he would secure the support of the Populists for Governor; but when they went so far as to fuse with the Republi cans and to select as the object of their special attention and favor the most formidible, outspoken and im placable enemy that Russell has among the Republicans of the State it not only blasted his hopes but was a deliberate and cool-blooded slap n the face. Butler and Russell will not sleep in the same bunk, nor sop out of the same dish any more. We have heard a good deal about the 'machine"-in politics and "one-man" power, but if- this wasn't exemplfied in the way that Marion Butler ran that convention against the protests of Harry Skinner, Cy Thompson and others it would be useless to ook for it any where else, for Bett er's dictation was practically the law of the convention, and while the few who resented his dictation kicked and howled he smiled, talked softly, and played his game his own way. As far as the outcome goes it is as good as the Democrats could expect, for in a triangular fight we can carry the State and also carry with us a good many of the Populists who are opposed to fusion and chafe under the one-man dictation. ' As the situ ation presents itself now. if thev " . et it rest at that, the odds are decidedly with us, but there may be other deals that may somewhat change, the situation, complicate matters and give us something more to do than the Present outlook promises. We have fttie satisfaction, however, of knowing that the Demo crats of the State are closer together and more enthusiastic than they have been for some time, while their opponents, notwithstanding' their efforts to. get together, are further- apart. ITTSOS.MEBTlOJr. Candidate Guthrie, whom the Populist Convention nominated for Governor, is" or was an attorney of the Southern Railroad Company. This was one of the reasons urged against his nomination. Holding such a position should not disqualify a man from holding a political office, and therefore we do not 'think that was a good objection to Mr. Guth rie. But could it be that Mr. Guth rie was instrumental in haying incorporated into the platform adopted that very remarkable clause calling for,, legislation "forbidding charters to lines of railway " corn- peting wlih the present main lines?' This is a very remarkable demand coming f rom the convention of a party which has been vigorously fighting the railroads on ; the ground of extortion and demanding that they be taken possession of and operated by the Government, so that the people might have - service at actual cost. Isn't competition by railroads a safe-guard and a check on monopoly and the extortion com plained of, as h it r would be in anything else? Two com peting lines of railroad might not be better for the stockholders than one, but they certainly would be for tbe people who have business with them, for one would be a check upon the other, and therefore we can't understand why this conven tion, professing , to be opposed to monopolies, and to be the special champion of the producing classes, should declare against competition with the main lines already estab lished. Mr. Guthrie is, or was for some years, counsel of the Southern Railroad. It will be remembered that efforts have been made for some time to charter a railway from Goldsboro to Charlotte, which would parallel the North Carolina Railway, which is leased by the Southern Company, and which would be a dangerous competi tor, if buiit, Was this the power be hind the throne th it inspired that clause? It was evidently the work of some agent who was not repre senting the peop!e,whom this conven tion professed to represent, and therefore we say that it is a remark able utterance as coming from such a source. It needs explanation and a good deal of it. The .Northern gold organs and McKinley organs (practically the same) are disappointed in the ad dress delivered by Candidate Bryan at Madison Square Garden, in New York. They hoped, that he would go there, deliver one of his impas sioned orations and in the ardor of his eloquence utter something that would give them a text for misrep resentation and abuse, but in this they were disappointed, for the ad dress was written and read, and can dor compels them to admit that it is a calm, dispassionate, lucid and able statement and defence of the contention of the part.y which he represents, what some call, who do not admit his conclusions, an able and ingenious argument or series of arguments. This is as much as could be expected from his opponents, who of course could not admit his. conclusions without sur rendering their case, it is more than Mr. Bryan or his friends couid have expected, for they naturally looked for the same style of misrep resentation with which these" organs have been treating Mr. Bryan ever since he was nominated.

Stories' Told by Westerners of the Antloa of the Sand Hill Crane. The sand hill crane', is a very bright bird. A Recreation; writer says that its very name is synonymous of vigilance and alertness. It feeds on tbe treeless -plains or in the Darren wheat stubble, where it can see a lomjway beyona gnu-; shot, or one of a flock is posted as sen tinel, and . this bird stands with bill nail open,jeady to giye ftlarin- .It can.be killed by decoying : it with pasteboard figures cut to proper size and shape and painted, but mounted, birds are better. A pit is dug' deep 'enough to conceal a man, the decoys - are put out; and the cranes are shot as they come over. The best region to shoot them is in the Co lumbia river watershed and south of it in the Pacific coast states. When one shoots a bird of the size and build of a crane in midair, it col lapses, like a oard house or a tent But such apparent collapses are sometimes deceptive, as, for instance: "Before I could reach him he soared off into the air with wheeling flight. Again ho hit the ground with fearful violence, but again he got on his feet. Running up, thinking to get him alive for a decoy, I tried to tap him on the head and stun him. He showed fight, and I used my gun as I backed off, and he took to his wings. The sand hill crane is something of a fighter of men if wounded, and the only safe crane is a dead one. Their bills are long and sharp and are capable of put ting out a man s eye. The sand hill crane has Borne curious habits that make him of more than pass ing interest to the student of birds. Out on the prairies parties of them have balls in the spring, to which the select birds seem to be invited. These balls are pic turesque affairs from the human stand point There are curious dances, which are sort of solitary- waltzes or pretty slow jigs. Sometimes the birds leap over one another's backs and flap theii wings, giving their peculiar cry. Some times rival birds have fierce duels, using their keen bills like lances, battleaxes and swords. - , XAdy Bio Ington. "The most gorgeous Lady Blessing- ton," as-sho was christened by her very old admirer, Dr. Parr, has long since passed into tho regions of oblivion f oi the general world. As an authoress she never succeeded in making any mark, though she worked at the business as hard as any of her successors of the pres ent day. Her novels were many and fashionable, Mrs. Gore like in then method and filled with strange and wandering scraps of French. She edited books of beauty for fancy clients and ai fancy prices, and when The News was first started under i the editorship ol Charles Dickens she was offered an en gagement as a purveyor of fashionable intelligence and asked 800 a year for it. She was offered either 400 as a cer tainty, or 250 for six months on ap proval, and confidently chose the latter, with the melancholy result at the end of the term Dickens having in the meantime retired from his uncongenial work, and John Forster having accepted his post ad interim she was informed that her services were no longer wanted. She fought for her hand hard enough in later days, poor lady, after years oi "Arabian Nights' " luxury with hei magnificent husband, but we fear that her position in the literary world was not at any time one of solid security. Privately she lived under a cloud from the scandal which always connected hex name with Count d'Orsay, and, we sup pose, not without reason.

Magnetised Corset Steels. "Every day something new is found about electricity and its effects," said Mr. Fay of the Southern Pacific. "Do yon know that nine-tenths of the um brellas that men carry nowadays are magnetized? Well, they are, and all that is necessary to prove this is to ap ply the point of your knife or, better still, a small pen point against the steel rib. The attraction is very perceptible, and it is caused by the carrying of the article inside of the electric cars. The umbrella is rested upon the floor near the motors, and the proximity of the metal causes a certain quantity of the fluid to find a permanent lodgment in the ribs. . carrying out the idea, it is very likely that the corset steels of the ladies are similarly affected. Think what the consequences would ben a young man with steel cuff buttons should hug a girl with magnetized corset steels I" New Orleans Times Democrat. Tsetebl Fropertiea.
