A Canton dispatch says Mr. Mc
Knley is more interested in restor
ing confidence than in filling offices.
Pshaw ! We thought that the confi
dence was coming along in job lots
as soon as McKinley was elected,
and that we would have not only
enough, but lots to spare. Bat some
body dida't hit it. Instead of a sur
plus of confidence the Democratic
gold men are actually losing confi
dence in McKinley and the fellows
behind him.
It is said that the tangle among
the Republican bosses in Ohio may
result in smashing the Cabinet slate,
and knocking Hanna out for the
Senate. The rurnor comes in this
connection that Senator Sherman
has asked Mr. McKinley to release
htm from his promise to accept the
Secretaryship of State, and thus stop
the racket over the appointment, of
his successor. Perhaps foxy John
has scented a chance to hold on.
The State of Minnesota has an
elastic homestead law, under which

In a recent case a brewer who was

his homestead allowaLce a five acre
lot on which his residence, brewery
and beer garden stood, and the court
held tbat he was entitled to it.

Alexander Jones and Blanche had gone

No furtber information could be given.

steamer when tbe telegram was sent.
Last night tbe following dispatch was
received by the Star :
Southport. N. C, Jan. 27. This
morning at daylight Cape Fear life-saving
crew discovered a tramp steamship,
apparently light, on Frying-Pan shoals
about six miles south of Cape ' Fear.
Signals were set by tbe station crew for
tugs. Cape Fear ind Oak Island crews
left immediately for tbe steamship. The
revenue cutter Morrill, tug's fonts and
Blanche left about nine o'clock and
pulled on tbe steamship at high, water,
but did not float her. The tugs are lay
ing by the steamer to pull again on her
at high water to-night, so nothing can
be learned of the steamer's name or con
dition. Tbe weather is very thick, but
the sea moderate, and the chances are
favorable tor getting the vessel off to
night. "
A later telegram from Southport says:
Tbe tugs returned at 10 p ms and re
port the stranded vessel as the British
steamship Ardrishaig, from Hamburg
to Savannah, loaded,- ashore three
miles from, tbe Cape on Frying pan
sboals, in sixteen feet of water, broad
side to the shoal. The cargo is kai nit
in bags, and is being thrown overboard
to lighten the ship. Tugs were unable
to get her off on to-day's tide, breaking
the hawser while pu ling. Will try
again to-morrow. Higb water, weather

If there was any hope tbat Judge Nor
wood would not be impeached it is all
dispelled now. Tbe udge is jast recov
ering from a hilarious spree. The in
telligence was received here last night
tbat tbe Judge was not leading a life of
sobriety.
Judge Norwood's friends have been
working assiduously in his behalf for tbe
past few days to have the resolution of
impeachment held up. The Judge had
given his word that be would do better
and there was a possibility of his
oeing given another trial to reform.
It is said Governor Russell bad con
sented to let the matter' rest for a while
on condition tbat Judge Norwood send
in bis resignation to tbe Governor in
tuch form that it could be ac
copied the first time he de
parted from tbe ways ot tbe
sober. This resgnation shcu d have
reached here yesterday, but the Judge
was drunk and it did a it come. There
is no hope for tbe Judge now, and un
less be resigns immediately he will
probably be impeached this week.

Raleigh. Jan. 27. The Populist cau
cus unanimously adopted the following
resolution : ,
Resolved. That inasmuch as the Re
publican caucus has failed to give us an
answer to our request that they observe
tbe contract ot co operation, and mas
much as they have rt fused to even bold
a Caucus to consider our request, that
this caucus re-am a tbe resolution pass
ed last night to toe edict that they by
their failure to proceed had broken tbe
contract entered into last Summer, and
tbat therefore all communication and
negotiation from this caucus to them be
closed, and tbat all other resolutions
passed last nigbt be and are hereby re'
affirmed.
There was a full attendance of mem
bers.';-
The caucus issued an address of some
three thousand words to Populist voters
in North Carolina and tbe Uaited States
It includes one of tbe addresses issued
last week. Tbe address savs among
other things: Tbe election of Pntcbard
the candidate of Hanna. Sherman and
Wall street, to ! represent tbe silver
sentiment of North Carolina in
the United States j Senate, is
shock to every true patriot of
this State as well as the nation. Already
the Populist supporters ot Hanna's man
begin to call themselves co operative
Populists, when in truth tbev are noth
ing but Republicans, while attempting
to better serve tbe purposes of the Re
publican party by masquerading as Pop
ulisis. "By 'their fruits, ye shall know
them.-
- The only way by which the. Populist
party can be able to maintain its exist'
ence. strengthen its lines and advance its
principles, upon which good government
must be founded, is bv purging from its
ranks all who have committed tbe crime
Of placing sell above the we. fare of the

calling themselves Populists, under the
traitorous direction of Congressman
Harry Skinner, aided and abetted by
prominent Populists of other States,
high in the ccuocils of tbe party, have
committed tbs crime and have been
promptly repudiated and expelled from
the organization and therefore branded
as tiaitors to tbe principles of good gov
ernment and enemies to the welfare of
humanity. The seductive but slimy
snake of fusion has no doubt stuck its
poisoncui fangs to a greater or less
depth into the organization of the Peo
ple's party in many other States,
therefore this purging must be done. It

Maaioaat Contention " WO maw
fronted by the baneful and poisonous
fleets of Republican fusion in the South
swinging the party to one extreme, and
Democratic fusion in the West swing
ing the party to the other extreme,
hich not only destroyed harmony
and unity of method, but also
endangered tbe very existence of
organization. They cq-operate witb us
for their own advancement and with a
view to our disruption and ultimate ab
sorption. Only last week. Immediately
after Senator Pritchard's election by a
bolting faction Of the People's party,
the Asheville Register, his peisonal
organ, gloated over the apparent dis
ruption of our ranks and boasted tbat
the Republicans would absorb by 1900
every Populist in North Carolina that is
worth having. The boasting hope of
the Republican party in North Car
olina finds no doubt a parallel
elsewhere in the hope and pur
pose of the Democratic party against
toe continued existence ot our organic
life, but we haven t come upon tbe stage
ot political action as food to prolong tbe
lite ot tbe two old parties.
