"Ihe n (lnldsboro man. in Impression down there is," he said, "tnat KimiU'.ns i.s a dead cock in the pit," and added, "there will Vie no freshet in Neuse river on account ot the weepintr that is done over it. Another piece of information was volunteered. "Vance," he said, will have to tvke the stump in North Carolina, dead or alive, or there will be no Democratic cam paign in the State. I'll waper a peck of turnip greens that Ransom will be burnt in elligy in every coun ty in the State before the campaign isover." A well-known Fantteville man coiroborated this statement. But Simmons, it seems, is making the most of the collectorship. His hay making will soon end, however. Vance is due here about April 1st. It is a curious thing about these North Carolina appointments. Han som makes the selection, Cleveland junke the nomination and Vance looks after the confirmation. When Hansom makes an appointment not personally offensive to him it goes thiough the confirmatory ordeal with out a hitch. It looks as though Ran som had lost his grip. Bossisin is dying slowly, but death comes to all some day. In putting his km in ot- lice Simmons rinds j MANY PEMOCKAT1C I'KKCEDKNTS Iu Cleveland's administration. Car lisle and Herbert have pensioned thfir families on the tax-payers and it is hard to go amiss here in fiuding nepotism in every branch of the pub lic service. In what the Democrats call the "corrupt days of Hepubh canisn) in North Carolina" Collector V instead vas reiuoved from oflice on a charge of nepotism. His fami Iv tea party cost the tas-payeys about .0,000 annually. When the matter was submitted to Secretary Sherman, he ordered bi removal at once, saying- "I have been compelled to dis miss my own relations from oflice who were in the public service before my incumbency as Secietary of the Treasury." If that rule obtained to-day Simmons might clieat Vance out of a little satisfaction, liut since the Democratic Congressional salary grab resolution of the last ,ww,rr,-oS. nenotism. iu the most fla grant and offensive form, is the rule r.r Democratic olaee holders. fc.'.t cKecki.-.b- ft if 'Siuimuuii it is ob- l' "lf'TIi , ' i' Berved that he makes NO REPLY TO SKINNER letter to Senator Vaucc, in which the itatpn,ent i& Ofade tlfat Sinunous Vmsted of ias appointment as collector as an acbieyenient of his own.'

A price list of all kinds of Heform Literature will be furnished by head quarters (No. 450 I 'a. Ave.) to any one making application for same. All funds derived from sale of this literature will go into the campaign f.ind, therefore it is the duty of all I'opuiists to order their literature thronn headquarters, where they can get it just as cheap as elsewhere and at the same time contribute something to the building up of the party.

Tle Finance Commit tee of thf Senate has reported the so-called "Wilson Tariff Bill" to the Senate. Senator I'etTer will will offer his bill not as an amendment to the Wilson bill, but rather as an amendment to the present McKiuley law. It is so drawn as to put the least tariff on the necessities of life and the great est taiiff on the luxuries. It will also provide for a graduated income tax as introduced by Mr. Pence iu the House. It will undoubtedly be a great improvement on the Wilson inconsistency. VUNCHINQ :V TUB ANIMALS. For several days it was reirted iu the New York papers that certain Senators were taking advautage of what was transpiring in the Senate Finance committee, relative to the sugar schedules, to gamble iu sugar trust stocks and make a few thoui-N and. After a few days of quiet, and about the the guilty ones were con gratulating themselves that the storm of criticism had about blown over, Senator Peffer serenely bobbed up with a resolution calling for a com mittee of live Senators to investigate these reports and rumors, and report their lindiug to the Senate, where upon quite a number of Senators arose and protested their innocence. Senator Peffer is determined to push his resolution and have tfie investi gation. Some rich and rare disclos ures are looked for. It is so nice to have a Populist Senator sitting around, sometimes. ALA 11 A M A POLITICS. Exerything in Alabama points to sweeping victory for the Populist in August. The Democrats down there are at their old tricks, inventing and industriously circulating all manner of lies about what the Populists should have done in the campaigi of 18'.2, in effecting combinations with the Republicans, vvhen a par ty begins to lie this early iu the cam paign, it is pretty good evidence that they have no faith in its ability to win by houest methods. KENTUCKY TO THE FRONT. In a letter to headquarters fym W. P.

Jerry Simpson saved the country an expense of an additional elerk to the Interstate Committee. This extra elerk would have been a sinecure for some Congressman's brother or relative. Jerry saved nearly one-half of his salary by de feating the resolution. Such little matters count up in the loner ruu. It is estimated that the Populist du ring the past years have saved the country more than f2o,000,000 by standing in the way of jobs and frauds. A Creat lU(f Klark Stubborn Fart. (Hickory Mercury.) Some of the 'papers have beaun to cry negro rule for the campaign this fall. They say let Cleveland, Vauce and Ransom do as they may we must not turn the State over to the negroes. The people cannot be fooled that way, gentlemen. That was the cry two years ago, but the Vance Democratic banner went to a negro county, all the same. No Friends at Court. Nonconformist. Everybody seems to have friends among the democratic leaders in con gress except the plain, taxpaying peo ple. All the trus s have powerful friends at court, who take cat'e of their interests.

Should Plead Insanity o,r the "Hahv Act." Independent American. When the democratic party goes before the people to give an account of its stewardship it should put in the plea of insanity.

That policy has been and is the uK-atect good to the fewest number. That policy, while the people have doubled the wealth of the nation, has made it possible for the great tr . jes of the people to come to the vt verge of want and des' itution, has produced two millions of trumps and forced ten millions out of em ployment.

"Say to him? Toor devil! why, yon never can remember after you're drunk what you've been doing1 tlie niht be fore. Some time it'll be the death of yon. You abused him like a pick pocket the sergeant of the puard and everybody connected with it." "Oh, murthcr! murther! murthci!" groaned the p.Kr Irishman, sitting down and covering his face with his hands. "Sure, they'll court-inurlial mo tills time without fail, and I know it. Ff r God's sa'ke, Waring, can't yc let a feller in and say that I'm not hero?" "Hyuh, dis way, lieutenant," whis pered Ananias, mysteriously. "Slip out on de po'ch and into .Mr. Pierce's room. I'll tell you when he's pone." And in a moment the hurre bulk of the senior lieutenant of Light Ilattery "X" was beiny boosted through a win dow opening from tlie pallory into the bachelor don of the junior second lieu tenant. No sooner was this done than the negro servant darted back, closed and bolted the long g-rcen Venetian blinds behind him, tiptoed to the bed room door, aud, softly tapping, called: "Mr. Waring! Mr. Waring! get dressed quick as you can, suh! I'll lay out your uniform in hyuh." "I tell you, Ananias, I'm going to town, sir; not to any ridiculous re view. Go and get wliat I ordered you. See that I'm properly dressed, sir, or I'll discharge you. Confound you, sir, there isn't a drop of Florida water in this bath, and none on my bureau! Go and rob Mr. rierco or anybody." But Ananias was already pone. Darting out on the gallery, he took a header through the window of tlie ad joining quarters through which Mr. Doyle had escaped, snatched a long flask from the dressing table and was back in the twinkling of an eye. "What became of Mr. Doyle?" asked Waring, as he thrust a bare arm through a narrow aperture to receive the spoil. "Don't let him get drunk; he's got to go to review, hir. If ho doesnJt, Col. Draxton may be so incon siderate as to inquire why both the lieutenants of 'X' battery are missing. Take good care of hira till the review, sir, then let him go to grass; and don't you dare leave me witliout Florida water again if you have to burglarize the whole post. What's Mr. Doyle doing, sir?" "Peekin' froode Min's in Mr. Tierce's room, suh; look in' fo' de oade'ly. I done tole him de cnnnle was ahter hina, but he ain't, suh," chuckled An anias. "I fixed it all right wid de gyahd di3 mawnin, suh. Dey won' tell 'bout his cuttin' up las' night. He'd forgot de whole t ing, suh; he allays does; he never does know what's hap pened de night befo'. He wouldn't 'a' i kriown about dis, but I toll his boy Ji; n to tell him 'bout It ahter stabls. , I told Jim to sweah dat dey'd re i pohted it to de cunnle." ! "Very well, Ananias; Tory well, sir; you're a credit to your name. Now go and car-y out my ort'ers. Don't forget Capt. Cram's wagon. Tell Jeffors to be here with it on time." And the lieu ' te mnt returned to his bath witliout 1 waiting for reply. "Ye-as, suh," was the subordinate arswer, as Ananias promptly turned, and, whistling cheerily, went banging oct upon the gallery and clattering down the open 6tairway to the brick paved court below. Here he as promptly turned, and, noiseless as a cat, shot up the stairway, tiptoed baek into the si ting-room, kicked off his low-heeletl slippers, and rapidly, but with hardly i an audible sound, resumed the work on i which he had been engaged the ar rangement of his master's kit.
