S. Otho Wilson, of Wake county, is a candidate for Railroad Commis sioner to succeed Hon. ThoSr W. Mason. If there are anyjof the lead ing Fusionists who have not reached but for a share of tne spoils since the combine triumphed, they have not been discovered. Tt is said that Marion Butler and others on the Populist side of the combine are becoming dissatisfied with the gen eral run of things at Raleigh, and are coming , to the conclusion that the Republicans are doing too much in fixing up the general legislation for the State and are getting the biggest slices of ' pie. I A Populist caucus was held Thursday night, at which, according to the report -as published in Friday's News and Ob : server ; it was resolved to hold no more joint caucuses. As .showing the spirit of the caucus, theAfew and Observer makes the following refer ence to Marion Butler's speech: . The Senator spoke with emphasis. saying that be did not favor the crea tion of offces for men (referring to the flake that had been made in roostine Ewart so bieh); .that there most be at once the passage of the Code Commis sion, bill (and eeneral opinion put down as two. . Spier Wnitaker and Guthrie); that tne Populists mast ; be protected against the negro danger in the rec bar tering of Eastern cities; that the geolog ical survey mnst stand as it it (Butler said this before. last week in a caucus speech); that the election law must un dergo radical changes before becoming a law; that the distinctive policies of the Populists mnst be maintained, and that thev mast remain Populists. "It was not concealed that Butler has felt much humiliated over the failure of Ms cumulation to cumulate, but be took tbe compromise of the two extra com tnisstoners to be appointed as by tbe amended bill of yesterday, as tbe nearest wav out of tbe muddle. But thns far and no farther is the slogan now. Russell yesterday morning sent for a News and Observer between 4 and 5 o'clock, which he knew wou'd contain (as it did) full particulars ot Wednesday night's caucus, and read it with anger. He waltzed around yes terday in a kind of vicious, ghost dance, shooting all kinds of Ind an terms to help tne conspiracy again t Judge Meares and his criminal circuit, finishing off the afternoon in a vain three-hours closet bout with Butler, trying in desperation to change tbe coarse ot things. Bat he retired baffled. This Is settled beyond ail doubt now. Last night it was ta citly agreed among the members of the caucat that the Railroad Commissioner shalx be a Populist. . We do not attach much importance to these reports for they may be simply a bluff to bring the Repnbli can side of the combine to time, but still they show that the Populist side. which has felt especially sore since that Douglass business, is very far from being satisfied with the Repub lican manipulation at Raleigh. The Rothschild family is said to be wearing out at the head, and that there is only one of them . who is really competent to manage their business. The combined wealth of tbe family is $2,000,000,000. Two of the younger members of the family have committed suicide and a third has tried to. This justifies the, in- . ' . - 1 ferencetnat when a man accumu lates more than two or three hundred millions he doesn't find much solid comfort in his money. The Legislature of Pennsylvania has' appropriated $100,000 for. tbe printing and distribution of a book on birds, and now it is proposed to follow this up by equipping: every public school in the State with . 250 photographic illustrations, at an es timated cost of $300,000, so that the little chips may cultivate acquaint ance with tbe birds without climbing trees and.robbing nests. The recent municipal election cost the city of Philadelphia $115,901.95, which does not include what it cost tbe hustlers wbo were running the election. The fact that it cost only $115,901.95 shows that Philadelphia has an eye to economy:" ; In . more extravagant cities it might have: cost $115,902 ;.j .

This was done to ' preserve tbe constitutional equation. Two amendments . to increase the rate for public schools were onerea . but were voted down, and tbe amount - remained at 16 cents as in the bill. ' Mr King offered aa - amendment to section. 8, providing: that all . monies raised for school purposes under this act shall.be paid into the State Treas ury, and . distributed among tbe several counties on the basis of school population: this not td apply to the 11 qaor license tax. .

Mr. Paddison,of Pender, offered an amend ment ' that no books and documents should be furnished the new justices and It was adopted. Mr. Adams, of Moore, at j once pointed out : that this made the whole . bilL ridiculous : and would render the new justices (of whom there will be several thousand) .worse than useless.

Speeches, were , made explaining votes. and Mr. Starbuck, ot Guilford (Fcston ist). said that the Senators.had "made fools of themselves.'
