The conditions, politically, are somewhat peculiar in North Caro lina this year, with the vantage ground decidedly with the Demo crats. Two years ago we were di vided on the silver question, while the Republicans were united, and the Populists stood with the Repub licans in the State campaign. Now the Democrats are a3 solid as a stone wall, while the Republican party and the Populist party are both divided into factions and factions that war with each other. In the centre and the "West the "uprising against the bosses in the Republican camp has attained such proportions that they are called in surgents, and the insurrection is giving the bosses a world of trouble. The insurgents refuse to be argued off or bought off. If they refuse to be bought off they must be desper ately in earnest, for there must be something very serious in the way when a Republican kicker refuses to be bought oft. In the Eighth and Xinth districts the insurrection is alleged to be against "ring rule, against Republican con ventions being controlled by Federal office-holders in the interest of the men to whom they are indebted for the offices they hold. This may be the true reason, but when was the time in Nerth Caro lina when 'Republican conventions were ndt controlled by Federal office-holders? We have seen a good miny of them in our day, but we ; have never seen one in which the Federal office-holder was not very much in evidence. In fact, manipulating conventions is part of ! the business of Federal office-holders, and a very consider able part. Offensive partisanship never figured in their vocabulary, and none of them have ever been known to have been reproved for too much zeal. - t They Share- generally succeeded in keeping in the background the col ored brothers who happened to get into their conventions, but in the last one which met in Raleigh they were not so fortunate, for Congress man Wliite (black), of the Second district,' broke through the barbed wire fence and got way up at the front, and while at the front lee-, tured sdme5f the white contingent for their cowardice in trying to dodge the race issue- and keep ' the .pegro behind the woodpile. He then"an4 there defiantly told them thit the race issue was here to stay, that there were not-near as many negroes in office as there shonla jbe'and will be, that jnore of them Ware coming and that the cowardly white Repub licans who did not like it could get out of the party,-which would be the better off for their getting out of it. Western Republicans have not been in the habit of being talked to that way by a negro, but in that section they have managed them pretty well and " have succeeded in mating ythem do the voting, whiW tha white -bosses heldvthe ,-officeay and perhaps' this colored assertiveness may ., not ; nave been without its innuence xa. swiruiig uua insurrection against "ring rule." . .. . 1 1 it' .With snch a spirit shown and Buch - ' utterances . by a bumptious negro, . ' whose self-conceit has been immeas t - nrablv increased bv the fact that he - is the only negro uAhe Congress ot the United States, I these. Western Republicans can see that; it is only a question of : time "when fchey - will be called upon to vote for negro State" officers; negro (judges, &c.; and for the negroizingjof the State, as Wilmington, Greenville andother cities have- been "negroized by the last-Legislature, ii'; "!"; ; While they , are , perfectly . willing to use the negro and get the benefit of his vote, this is; a little further than a good many-, of )hem care to go or will go, even ; at the , dictation of the bosses...; ; Ordinarily they might stand the political associa tion as they' have stood I it in-the past, but. when it comes to an issue square out between white and blacK then they may conclude that ''blood is thicker than water." And then, too, they have seen the -trickery that has been going on for several years between the KepuDii can machine managers and Populist managers, for spoils and spoils only, neither caring a copper for princi ple, but both perfectly willing to let their '"principles lie in abeyance" as statesman Pritchard said he was in the StatTconyention when the question of fusion with the Populists was first broached. They have seen this fusion game played, ; and now now again proposed, while the only beneficiaries were theSmVi who were elected to office by it. They have failed to discover where they or the State have been benefitted by it, and perhaps they have shared some what in the disgust that is so general among honest Populists. They have seen Governor Russell and Senator Butler planning ' and plotting to form out of the Republi can and Populist parties a Russell Butler party with a war-on-the-rail-road3 platform nd they have be come somewhat disgusted with that. But they have had a good deal to disgust them, and a good deal to provoke an insurrection outside of the objection they may have to "ring rule" or the arrogant bossing of Federal officials. . IIow the bosses will deal with the insurrection or how they will go about suppressing it remains to be seen. In the meantime they are yery much alarmed, for they have to face the raee issue which is being forced upon them by the -more ag gressive negroes in their own party and by the Democrats, who welcome it. Thev will either have to take sides with the negro or against him.f There will be no dodging. They will not be permitted to dodge, so that as the situation, presents itself now the Democratic party was never in a better shape to enter a contest hopeful of success, nor the Repub lican party in a worse shape. What there-is left of the Populist party, which does not go in with the Dem ocratic party for white supremacy will be a very small factor in the contest. AS OBJECT LESSON. The mob of negroes which gath ered in the lower part 'of Princess street Wednesday evening, as, told in the Star yesterday, and for hours menacingly paraded the street and streets adjacent presented an object lesson which every white man and every well-meaning colored man in the State should study. The cause assigned for this gath- jng of the mob was the alleged re ceipt by the author of that infa mous assault on the white women of the State, of .an anonymous letter ordering him to leave the city. Such a letter may have been re ceived or it may not, but the fact that it was an anonymous letter neutralizes its importance to say nothing less of if. It was certainly not written by any one authorized to speak for the Democrats or for the law abiding people of this community. If there -were any disposition to resent that as sault bv doine violence to the author, the white people would not have waited a week to show their resentment and 1 then contented themselves with sending an anony mous letter. Suppose the white people, had shown the same spirit these street parading negroes did, and had con gregated on the streets as they did, ; how easy it would have been to pre- I cipitate a riot that might have cost many lives?; That this was not the result is due more than anything else to the self-restraint, patience and forbearance of the white people of the -community 'r who on this oc casion showed such splendid self control. ' With such a city government as we have now mobs are simply en couraged, and the lawless made bold by its exhibitions of inefficiency and lack of nerve to ' assert the sov ereignty of the law when, the mob is brewing and shows its teeth. ,. ; THIS DODGE WILL NOT DO. . -The white; Republican, Populist and negro leaders, who have Bensei enough to comprehend the enormity ; and effect of i that infamous attacJc on the white women of the State, which recently; appeared in the; negro organ tof this city, are resort-! ing to various dodges to shut the responsibility,' and. break the ' force of that unparalleled production, the most outrageous that ever appeared in the columns of any newspaper published in this State. ' Some of the Republicans try to shift the responsibility by 'repudiating the, article and the authorand the paper as a Republican organ, although- it Waa rofioo-tiizftd as a Republican organ uw to the timo this editorial assault attracted public attention, -- j, Some of the Populists are resort ing to a different method to break its lorce, Dy misrepresenting n, na a Democratic trick. - .Air. .Hill ' E.' King is chief clerk of th Agri cultural Department at Raleigh. ;He has struck on this dodge. 7 After, discoursing pretty freely on this monstrous utterance he wound up as follows: W ' J ' 7.-.. J. : t'T kaliAtttTfYiA rimniMta nitber'diO' tated or wrote the editorial in ManlyV . At.. 7 T. lAnt,. f a mA Itlral paper, uie accvtu. . xi ua w ai a democratic trick for campaign pur poses." , . ' . -; " This Is in line with' Rocky Mount Butler's assertion that white . Dem ocrats connived at the rapes that were committed in this State, and is ( m . . TV . as infamous a reflection on uem ocrats as Butler's Rocky Moupt speech was. Hill didn't believe any such thing: there isn't a man, white or black, in this community who be- lievesiit, and certainly the Republi can executive committee of the cbtinty, nearly all of whom are col ored men, didn't believe it when they met and repudiated the writing, the editor and the, paper, liiti s dodge will not work, but it does show the ineffable meanness of the dodger. . . USING THEM AS TOOLS, Ex-Senator Green, one of the leading Populists of Wake county, ;who is opposed to the late fusion deal with the Republicans made by . the S. Otho Wilson faction ot rpp ulists, is quoted as saying: t , iiii'nlr the fusion ticket A .--- will eet a Populist vote in my town ship, unless, perhaps, Mr, Knight votes it. We are going to clean up the fusion in Wake this year. I have never voted for a Republican, and never will vote for one The Kepuo- licans are usine us as tools. The only hope for the continued existence pt .. T . It. 4.1 our party is to avoid iusion wnu me Republican s." This is another Populist who has had his eyes opened, and discovered that "the. Republicans are using us as tools." The surprising thing about this is that sensible Popu lists who were persuaded- to sup port these fusion schemes didn't see this long ago, and didn't catch on to how they were being used to of ivnn'Krvn thn TJonnlilirtsln nartv in this State, and to destroy their'own party. ' It shouldn't have taken three grains of every day sense to see that hunger for office was at the bottom of these 'fusion schemes, when men who had no principles in common got together and agreed to act to gether for a satisfactory division of the spoils, and then, have the monu mental cheek to ask honest men of either party to ratify these bargains and endorse them at the polls.' Now some of them are beginning to dis cover that they have been "used as tools," as ex-Senator Green says, and that, they have been used to. "put life into the dead hulk of the Republican party," as ex-Senator Atwater, of Chatham county, says. That is precisely what the Populists who' have supporte.d fusion have been doing, if it did take them some time to discover it. Readers of the Star will remem ber that we warned honest Populists against this when th fusion schemes were first proposed and the Republican machine managers and Populist machine managers fell upon and embraced each other," nd when they - won diyided the booty and chuckled over how nicely they did it and fooled the honest men- who fol lowed them.

The passiBg of the pow der monkey is one Of many things which iinark the dtflterenpo between the old navy and the new. The difference began when the faydraulio 11 ti supplanted the powder mionkey, when the ordinary seaman be came something jpore than a mere man of brawn and courage, and ended with the transformation ot .the, gunner from the grade of ordinary seaman, who knew but to obey order, Into .a trained man capable of working with accuracy and precision, a ah tMVoi4-nfvt in the world." said fi ,a m.." . 1 v- . aoldi seaman wno began his naval life fas a powder monkey eu years ago, du who now cannot qualify as. a gunner of any class, In commenting on the changed con ditions. "Now it's all a matte of educa tion, and while I used to be called a good "man at the butt end of an old smooth bore my place la taken by lads and I'm laid by." g The ordinary teeaman of the present navy, who operates the small guns Which compose the secondary battery of a battle ship and are used only at close range, has taken the place of the old time gunner, and he in turn has risen and is now a war rant officer, occupying a place between the seaman and the : noncommissioned officer, having a mess apart from the ordinary seaman. He is tot, however,-eligible to advancement further than that of a gun ner of the first class. BeloW hlm are 6 gunners of the second elass.ijformerlyshe gunners' mates, and the gunners of -ho third class, who in the days of the old navy were known as the gunners': appren tices. In the old order of naval affairs gunners rose froiii the rank pf ordinary seaman and had as their only claim to their titles the skill in the point blank shooting of the time acquired by long; practice. . i ' . ' Besides the eool head, steady hand and keen eye of the old time gunner, the gun ner of the new navy must possess a gun ner's education, including not only a thor ough knowledge of both common and dec imal fractions, but also the use and ap plication of the principles of ' algebra, geometry, trigonometry and trajectory. , He is taught, first, that to locate to a nicety the object ppon which he is to train his gun he mustiobserve it from two dif ferent points, and then having established a base line and the two adjacent angles by the science of triangulation he finds the Intervening distance. Many experiments have resulted in the formulation of tables and the invention of mechanical instru ments which make the calculation a mat ter of but a few seconds. These are based upon the science of trajectory and enable the gunner to know in an instant at what angle to elevate his gun. I ' Comparatively simple as Jtfals may seem with the use of the instruments and tables, it embraces in "naval gunnery accurate calculations of the speed and direction of motion of the vessel carrying; the gun, the speed and direction of motion of the tar get if it be another ship, and the direc tion and velocity of the wind, not one of. which can be disregarded if the ran go bo a long one, but which at close range are overcome to a great eltent by the shorter distance and by the high rate of speed at tained by the projectile. ; In the case of a moving vessel being the target, the range is aeterminad by means of the range finder and noted. After an interval of two minutes or a convenient fraction thereof a second calculation is made. By the tables the distance in yards between the two points is determined, and this divided by the Interval of time gives the speed. By another table, based upon the rate of speed attained by the projectile and the range, the distance which the tar get will have traversed duringthe flight of the projectile may be obtained and the gun aimed at .such an angle as to cause the shot to take Effect as desired.. By" another process, if thos ship upon which the gunner is stationed; be moving, the aim can bo i made quite as accurate, and to this exact! reduction of' the science is due the. almost marvelous imarksman ship of the Yankee gunners, f While our modern gunner must know thoroughly all -tliis, he does not have the opportunity in aji engagement to apply it To the officers "ifc the conning tower and In the turret falls the task of determining therange&v This is usually done by the officers on board tide flagshisr!and com municated to the officers on board the oth er ships by means of signals. "From them the gunner in the turret gets his angle, and by means of a lever and ) a scale ele vates or depresses his gun as his orders may require.' ' Then comes the task which he alone may perform "Attached to his gun near the breech is a j powerful telescope, fitted at the outer lens with a horizontal and a vertical hauvciiossing at tight angles in the center. .TJfrough this he locates his mark and; having done so, nows that his aim is true. .1 In spite of the exactness of the science, . It is necessary, under unfavorable, atmos pherio conditions, such as fog or rain, to resort to the old method of trial shots. A Smaller, gun is used, and byt means of range .finder attached , to its' breech, the range can soon be determined. . . Then the gunner applies the knowledge which has given him his rani, and science does what the greatest skill of the old days could not. I - The long range shot of the new guns, the one which enables tha gunner nowa days to watch the course of ;the projectile and note the havoc it creates even at the distance of several miles, was impractica ble because of the small power of. the old smoothbore. The close blank shot and the broadside were the" ones upon which ' the old gunner counted far yictory. With out the aid of science he sighted Ms cum bersome piece, while his crew stood ready with ramrod, swab, powder and shot. Minutes were consumed in the execution of the orders'. "Loadl Tdbatteryl Slrel" while now each;order is expected to be ex ecuted in a few seconds. ; ! i ;.'

On the strength of a better dais of cable news than had been looked for and the reports of extremely hot weather, reinforced by claims of injury ia the Southwest, as the result of drought, the cotton market opened quiet at an ad vance of 2 to 3 points and -further ad vanced 1 to 2 points, witliout. how ever, developing much outside speculative interest. The smaller snorts covered early in the forenoon, while houses withiforeign connections appeared to be trading on both sides of the market in a 'moderate way. Liquidation of long accounts stopped the advance. But the bears were cautious and sold but little while the market fell off 3 to 4 points from the top prices. The market was finally steady with prices net unchanged to one point higher. New York, August 25. OoUon quiet and steady; middling uplands 6Vc.
