If any of them come around asking for anything they Will probably be told that they mast con tent themselves with this "consola tion." Presidential elections cost this country about $3,000,000. This is the necessary expenses cf holding the elections. It does not include money spent by campaign managers and others interested, which ordina rily amounts to much more than that and in the recent campaign to sev eral times as much. R. W.. AMen. Mayor of. Basic City, Va., blew his brains oat the day after the election. He was one ot the judges of election and was charged with selling oat to the Re publicans. He was much more sen sitive than some of the men who combined to sell oat States bat who have failed to see the eternal fitness of things by following his example. The New York Advertiser rises to remark that "the victory belongs to the people" but Mark Hark Hanna is- entitled to a big hunk of the "honor." We think so onrself.

The Ladies Benevolent Society met in annual session ia the Young Mens .Christian Association parlors on Mon day, November 2dt with twenty-f cut members and friends present. -The devotional exercises were con ducted by Rev. W. L. Cunninggim. Mrs. Roger Moore, the president, read her annual report, but the Star is com pelled to defer its publication until Tues day, c The secretary offered the following report, which was received: f Mrs President and Ladies of the Benevo lent society: i In reviewing the fiscal year of the Lidies Bicevolent Society just closing,: we notice that events of importance have transpired,, with apparently vary-, ing results, but which we bops will ail: be made to work together for the bett good of the society. - ; - It is a matter of great tbanklulness that the debt of $200. which was resting on the lot adjoining the Home at our last annual meeting, has since been paid. During the year the Society has printed and widely distributed a pam phlet descriptive ot the work ot the society in the Cat her roe Kennedy Home, which was most favorably re ceived by the communitv. There was for souie time in earnest consideration by the board of managers the desirability of additional comfort for the inmates of the Home and assistance for the matron, in the form ot a back stairway, back pjazzas and bath room, but the matter is still ia abeyance. The contributions for the year to with- n the last tew months nave been, quite sufficient for the needs of the Home in addition to other amounts regularly given, but we have been very sorry to note a great falling off in receipts since the early Summer, which we hope is , only temporary. ' : There have been no changes among the officers of the Society, although two of the chairmen of the Membership Com mittees have found it necessary to resign. Oae amendment to the by-laws has been made, to the effect that five mem bers of the Board of Managers shall con stitute a quorum for the transaction cf business. by far the most important action of the year has been in connection with the d.spensary and proposed woman s Hospital. At a called meeting of the society on March 17, 1896, after much discussion, it was voted that a Woman's Hospital be erected by the society on the vacant lot adjoining the Home yeas 42, navs 20. At the quarterly meeting May S, Dr. Bullock tendered bis resignation as sur geon in charge of the dispensary, which was shortly afterwards dosed entirely, The society unanimously voted that res olutions expressive ot its reluctance to accept his resignation and its deep in debtedness to him for his self-sacrificing work during the year ia which the dis pensary remained in the Home, be sent to Dr. Bulluck, which was done. At the same meeting the President in formed the Society that $750 was now given or promised towards the Woman's Hospital, which would entitle the fund to receive the $150 so generously prom ised by the Bridgets family in addition totheir first gift, in the event s2T $750' being raised, since which time nothing has been done by the society in- regard to the matter. " There .re at present 234 record mem bers of the Society, but we know wj have not the complete list, owing to loss ot records a year ago. - Respectfully submitted. Mrs. Andrew J. Howell. Jr., Secietary. Toe Treasurer made the following rt- port : Mrs. Koger Moore, President Dear Madam : The following is my annual report of receipts and disbursements ol the Catherine Kennedy Home, for the year ending October 31, 1898 : Receipts, $889.00; disbursements, $857 54. Leav ing a balance to the credit of the Home of $31.46. lac'uded ia the receipts is $73 00 from the Epwortb League of Grace M. E. Church. It gives me pleasure to. be abls to state that the debt against the -Home has been paid in full, leaving it entirely unencumbered. Verv respectfully. Mrs. W. R.French. Treasurer. The chairmen of msmoeiship commit tees reported ship lists. The matron, Mrs. M. W.

Willard made a verbal re port as to the woik of tbe visiting com mittee. The matter of the Woman's Hospital was then taken up, but as it seemed im possible to decide one way or the other. it was decided to postpone the Baal de cision in this matter until the nextquir terly meeting of the Society. Tbe following officers were elected for tbe ensuing year: Mrs. Roger Moore President; Mrs Phi'ander Pearsall. Vice President; Miss Gihrielle DeKcsiet Secretary; Mrs. W. R. French, Treas urer.

No fear need be entertained that any Democrat elected to the Legislature will vote for Pritchard or any other gold-bug for the United States Senate But not so with the Populists, some of the members-elect being, it is said, pledged to Pritchard. The Populists should hold meetings in all the counties that have elected Populist members and instruct them to vote for no candidate for United States Senator who will not pledge himself to vote for free silver if he is elected.

Wit Be Kembwed-IiPSte Hirriia to b Atitont O .nenl. f. Special ' Star Correspondence Raleigh. N. C Nov. 7. V Butler absolutely controls the Sena torial situation. . If be favors Pritchard, Pritchard will be elected, but if be is agaicst him it will be impossible to re turn the gold-bug gentleman to the Sen ate. I say this because Butler controls the Populists and tbe representatives of that party hold tbe balance ol power in the Legislature. The wily Populist Senator has already made a biz hloff at Pritchard. He will Continue to do so. Of course Butler has a purpose in this, as he has in every thing he does. He is essentially a bar gain driver. If Pritchard reaches tbe Senate, be will have to deliver to cutler the lion's share of tbe Senate and State patronage. Tnat is what Butler is woik- ing for. What has Butler done in this year of our Lord i Did be - not- say twelve months ago that fusion would hfiirapDS siale? Tne spectacle of gold bugs and Populists on the same ticket would be disgraceful, he wrote. Tnen the Repub licans were making a bold front. They said Butler shouldn't intimidate them; Butler didn't change hi3 mus e aod tbe Republicans got down on their knees. Then he changed his front, but not until he bad drove an unparalleled bargain. He got five State cfficeis and five Con gressmen. The Republicans took two State officers and four Congressmen. Judge Clark is mentioned as a Sena- tonal possibility. His friends say tbe Populists would support bim in prefer ence to Pritchard or Guthrie. Tbe word has pasaed that all the Siate institutions will be swept with a new broom, and the faithful are bustling to get in Uce.

Well, well 1 la casting about lor an Adjutant Gen eral it has been suggested that Loze Harris would fill the bill. A more pug nacious gentleman could not be found. The trouble is he might involve the State in war with some foreign power. Jt is stated that Judge D ck will re gn as soon as McKinley gets in office and that Holton will be appointed to succeed him. The next Legislature will have several talented and distinguished citizens as Representatives. An ex-Concressman. John M. Brower, is elected.

Ha Bf lievfe McKinley Will Try to Seonre an International Agreement or Bimetallism. Chicago, November 6. Senator Jar, K. Jones, chairman of the- Democratic National Committee, said to-day: "What defeated us was the action oi large employers in telling their men that they need not return to work on Wednesday if McKinley was defeated This unquestionably lost us thousands of votes, for tbe man with a wife and little ones cannot help being moved by a prospect which threatens to deprive him of work and consequent means of support. "But we bave won a victory iust the same, for I do not believe that any po litical party in this country will dare to include the word gold in its platform 1000. Whatever happens, however, we shall not abandon our fight for silver which is a just one, and one that is bound to triumph. -I think it will be the aim of the Re publicans to deprive us ot an issue on this question, and I firmly believe that Mr. McKinley will bend all bis efforts toward the -securing of an International agreement for bimetallism. He is friendly toward silver. There can be no doubt regarding that. His public record proves it, and if he is confronted with a free silver bill, as I have little donbt he will be. I believe he will sign it, "I believe, moreover, that before the close of his administration he will stand in about tbe same relation toward his part? that President Cleveland does to ward the Democratic party. The Wes tern Republicans will unquestionably urge silver legislation npon bim, which of course, will be K bitterly opposed by Eastern Republicans. He cannot please one without giving deadly offense to the other, and I think tb result will be tnat he will alienate tbe Republicans)! tbe EasL" ' ' : " - Furs and fires will be comfort able to-night, "if the weather observers' prediction of ' much colder" is at tained.
