American men make pretty fair soldiers, but they are not as brave as tiiev might be. There are 2,200, 000 more bachelors than spinsters in this country. The average Eepublican politician will take almost anything he can reach, bnt they are not accepting any challenges to joint discussions this year in thi3 State. Some beggars in this country never get rich. But they don't save their money like that old Italian mendicant who pegged out and left 400.000 that he couldn't take along with him. . Xotwithstanding the large wheat crop in the' West some of the big mills can't get enough and are com pelled to run short time. The far mers don't sell more than they can help at present prices. It is said that there are no recon centrados in Cuba now. They are all dead. But there is a good deal of suffering for food, while Blanco in sists on collecting custom dues on food sent to feed the starving. A report comes fr6m Havana that some one has been hooking some of the remains of C. Columbus, which are alleged to have lain in a sar cophagus there, so that pnly a part of the remains remain to be ferried over to Spain. They say Richard Croker ia a poor man now. If he wasn't vei$ rich and he "blew in" a8 much as it is said he did on the English races, he must be poor now. There ia no im mediate prospect, however, of his retiring to the poor house. Spencer B. Adams, who was nomi nated for Congress in the Fifth dis trict, has not yet resigned the judge ship. IiTthe meantime while run ning for Congress Spencer draws $200 a month as judge, ' which will help to defray campaign expenses. Spencer is thrifty. Harry Skinner will have Republi can opposition, too, in his district. Joshua Whedbee announces himself as a straight Republican candidate, and a convention will be called to endorse him. This is no Small affair. With a larger crop of oranges in Florida than for several years, and the largest crop ever grown in South ern California, oranges ought to be reasonably cheap. One of the boasts of Kansas is that one can get any kind of weather in that State. She has a great assortment of weather, and enough of it to di vide with a half-dozen States.

Aftolden Opportunity for Those Who . Think 0. H. Dockery Will be Elected to Congress. ( For the special benefit of Republican financiers, the editor of the Star is authorized to offer the following op portunities: One Hundred Dollars that John D. Bellamy will carry the county of Mecklenburg. One ; Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the county of Union. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the county of Anson. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the. county of Richmond. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the county of Robeson. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the county of Columbus. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamv will carry the county of Pender. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the eounty of Brunswick. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will carry the county of New Han over. One Hundred Dollars that Bellamy will be elected. All the above propositions to be ac cepted as a whole. As Martin, the Fusion candidate for Congress in 1896, carried all of the nine counties in the Sixth District, ex cept Anson and lost that by only 110 majority and had a majority in the District of 5,006, the above proposi tions should receive the favorable consideration of Republican investors. ASSAULTED BY A NE0R0. Air. Prank Green at Mill's Livery Stable Attacked Sunday Night. Late Sunday evening Mr. Frank Green, who stays at Mr. Frank T. Mill's livery and feed stable, had a difficulty with two negroes. The oc currence is significant in that it is another illustration of impudence that is frequently manifested by negroes under the present regime. Two negro men stopped at the stable and asked some boys for a match. As they started to move away one of them asked Mr. Green if he wanted any trouble. Mr. Green noticed that they were drunk and told them to move away from his place. One of them cursed him and picked up a chain to assault him. However, see ing that Mr. Green had gotten a stick they made off up the street. Soon thereafter theycame back and the one who had made the assault told Mr. Green that he wanted to apologize and "shake hands and be friends." Mr Green told him to go away and behave himself and he would not molest him; but that he was not shaking hands with negroes. The fellovr loitered about the door for a few moments longer and catching Mr. Green off his guard suddenly struck a blow at his head and ran away. Mr. Green chased him some distance but some of the negroe's pals joined him at the foot of Princess sheet and having no weapon to defend himself he returned to the stable. The names of the negroes are , known and it is probable that there will be a se quel to the affair. THE MAYOR'S COURT YESTERDAY. McKoy Cases Called for Trial Drunk and Disorderly Cases Fined.
