Since the killing and mangling in that Paris automobile race they are calling the autoes "devil wagons" over there. That's not fair. It is the fellows who rnn them, not the automobiles, who play the devil. President Roosevelt should be in Washington, where he could get a whiff of the rottenness in his Post Office department, instead of mak ing a political campaign throughout the country for the Presidential nom ination Xo man can forecast the political situation twelve months ahead; but just now, in the judgment of the Stab, Judge Parker and Senator Gorman are the favorites for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion. Of the two Parker is proba bly the more available man. The Mobile Reqister says: "Messrs. Vaughan and Davidson say the white Republicans of Alabama are almost solid for Hanna." At last accounts Hanna was solid for Boose Telt. But if these white Bepubli cans . are almost unanimous for Hanna, how is it that the Boosevelt fellows got away with them in that convention? The New York Sun, Bepublican, rises to remark as follows : "Logi cally, after Mr. Boosevelt's most successful elimination of all com peting Republican candidates for the Presidency, the anti - monopoly plank affecting other subjects ought to be eliminated from the party Platform." But it will not be. It will be kept in, or a substitute pro vided to fool the gudgeons who think something should be done to hold the monopolies down. " Mr. J. C.

Deceased far Let Tern of Years Proml- aeafly MeatSkd With JearaaUsm of f" " Slate-Hls TaUigaway Ssddes and Greatly Deplored. " The Stab chronicles this morning with peculiar and rery deep regret the death of iU associate editor. Major Patrick Francis Duffy, which occurred rather suddenly at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his homeNo. 10 South Eighth street. Maj, Daffy had been 111 only since Sunday evening about. 6 :S0 o'clock, when he suffered a severe attack of intestinal troubtef. prelum ; ably, the effect; of iome;. ice. cream which he ate for dinner. Dr. Andrew H. Harriss, the family physician, was called immediately and remained' at the bedside of the sick man during the night, but gradually he grew worse and Dr. W. J. EL Bellamy was called in yesterday. In the afternoon Dr. W. J. Love was also summoned and though every thing known to medical science was done by those three phy sicians for the patient, he passed away at the hour, mentioned, remaining conscious almost to the minute he was firmly in the grasp of death. The news of Major Duffy's death quickly spread over the city and everywhere the deepest regret and sympathy tor the family in his sudden taking away was expressed. It was a decided shock to the community for on Saturday he was about his duties and apparently in the enjoyment of the best of health. Elsewhere In to day's paper a fitting tribute to his life and service to the community is paid. His faults were few; his virtues were many and none knew' him but to re spect and esteem him. Maj. Duffy was born in the city of New York and was 67 years of age the 18th of last December. He was born of sturdy Irish parentage and com bined In his personality all those es timable traits which have made the nationality famous. When bat a boy, he removed with his parents ' to St. Louis, Ma, and reeelTed his acade mic 'and collegiate education . In that city before the war. Soon after that struggle between the States, during which he was identified with the in terests of the Southern people, he went to Greensboro, North Carolina, and for a long time owned and edited the. Greensboro Patriot, making that journal a power for the Democracy during ihe dark days of reconstruction. Later he removed to Charlotte, N. C, and edited the old Charlotte Observer with the late CoL Charles R. Jones. Afterwards the Observer was consoli dated with the Journal, and upon the latter Maj. Duffy was associated as an editorial writer with Col. Alfred M. Waddell, of this city. Col. Waddell, In speaking of the death last night, said his association with Maj. Duffy was a most pleasant one; that he had a very high regard for him and believed him to be the best all-round editorial writer in the State. About the year 1884 Maj. Duffy moved with his family to Winston Salem, N. O., and he was connected with the press of that city for several years. Fourteen years ago he removed to Wilmington and became associate editor of this paper, which position he held with great ability until the time of his death. ' He enjoyed remarkably fine health and it was stated yesterday that not before in thirty years had he be confined to his home. Maj. Duffy married Miss Lottie Gretter, daughter of a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman of Greens boro, twenty-eight years ago, andshe, with seven devoted children, who are prostrated with grief at the un timely demise of their father, suryive him. The children are Misses Mary and Davie Duffy, Mr. Charles F. Duffy, Miss Carrie , Duffy, Master Patrick Duffy, Miss Lottie 'Daffy and Master James Daffy. The deceased is also survived by his twin brother, ex-Mayor T. T. Daffy, of Dnbnaue. lows, ana anoiner brother, Mr. James O. Duffy, of St Louis; Mo. They were telegraphed last night of the sad death, bat will be an able to reach here in time for the fa neral, which will ba conducted by the Rev.1 J. M. Wells, Ph. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The services will take place from the lodge at Oakdale cemetery, owing to the extreme illness with typhoid fever of Mai. Duffy's little son, Patrick, at the family residence. Many callers at the home who went to express their sym pathy Isst night, bad to be turned a way' for fear of disturbing the little sufferer, who knows nothing yet of the sad loss he has sustained.
