the GZhavlolle omocvaU (BhctvlalU, "MM. Charlotte Democrat. W. C. DOWD. Editor. CHAULOTTE. N. C. THURSDAY, JULY 8r The News has received the hand some 364 page volume that records the progress of the North Carolina agricultural experiment station dur ing 189G. This includes the 19th anmal report of the director of the station, and the various bulletins that were issued during the year, of which there were fifty-Lve, all on subjects of more or less interest and importance to agriculturists. Di rector Battle and his associates have brought the station to a high degree of efficiency, have placed it in the front rank of such institutions in this country, and, as is attested by various lettersjfrom experts, made it the equal of the agricultural stations of Europe. The station is now in new and untried hands. And it is doubtful if its high state of efficiency will be maintained. J r LI an Hawthorne, who has been to Bombay and from house to house through the plague cursed and famine stricken district, writes of the famine in India and its terrible results. Mr. Hawthorne is an in teresting writer and a faithful chronicler, and he tells graphically the terrible tale of suffering and death. The English have just celebrated the diamond jubilee of their "great and good" Queen, who is Empress of India, as well as Queen of Great Britian and Ireland, and have spent $23,000,000 in this display.

The tramp question is becoming a serious one in some localities, and in Borne places the authorities are dealing with it promptly and vigor ously. The laws against wandering vagrants should be strictly enforced everywhere. There is sympathy for the unfortunate who are idle through necessity, and where it i3 possible those who are willing to work should be given something to do. But the hardened vagrants should be put on the chain gang as fast as they ap pear. The New xork Financier makes the official announcement that "prosperity has come at last." This ought to re-assure the manufacturers and tradesmen and all the rest of the people who have been fooling themselves.

A Tar Heel exchange tells us of a man who was "shot in the early spring." A correspondent asks in what part of the system is the early spring located, and if a shot in that region is necessarily fatal.

The Vote on the Tariff Bill Will Prob ably be TakenNo Currency Com mission This Session. Correspondence of the News. Washington, June 28. Senator McLaurin is one of the few Demo crats who are willing to make a pre diction as to the date of the passage of the tariff bill by the senate, which nearly everybody expects to occur sometime during the latter part of the present or the first of next week. Speaking on the subject, Mr. McLaurin says: "I think a vote will be reached on Friday. That is hangman's day, and, as the bill will bring ruin and misery it would be appropriate to put it through on hangman s day borne of the Re publican senators expect the bill to be passed as early as Wednesday or Thursday of this week, but that is not very probable. Republicans in the house are very confident that in all important schedules, the bill as it emerges from the conference com mittee will closely resemble the original Dingley bill. WHAT IS HIS CUBAN POLICY? Secretary Sherman doesn't know what Mr. McKinley's Cuban policy is to be. He so informed a close personal friend. It has leaked out since Gen. Woodford, the new Min ister to Spain, has been in Washing ton that he isn't in any particular hurry about getting to Madrid, and that he has no idea that he wiH actually open negotiations with Spain in the Ruiz case, which is to be made the stepping stone to the introduction of the McKinley policy towards Cuba, before the fall. He will probably start late in July, but it is not certain that he will go either by the most direct or the most speedy route. " Czar Reed has made out the list of committee assignments and un less some of his kindergarten, other wise known as the U. S. House of Representatives, do something to of fend him between now and then, he will announce them after the House has adopted a resolution setting the date for the adjournment of the session. Mr. McKinley and Boss Hanna have concluded to abandon the idea of trying to get Congress to author ize the appointment of a currency commission at this session. CORBETT TO BE LEFT OUT. Nearly every bodv except the ap plicant takes the refusal of the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions to vote on the report prepared by Senator Hoar, favoring the seat ing of Ex-Senator Corbett, of Ore gon, on the certificate of the Govern or of that State, to mean that Mr. Corbett will never get the coveted seat. He might have gotten the seat had not ex-Senator Mitchell and his friends been using their influence against him on the quiet, although it is by no means certain that a ma jority would have voted to seat him, anyway. Senator "Billy" Mason will be unmercifully guyed by his associates when he returns to Washington, for having made a big bluff by telegraph ing the request to have the nomina tions for the Southern district of Illinois held up by the Senate Com mittee to which they were referred, one day, and following it up the next day by withdrawing his objec tion to their confirmation. He will be complimented on his skill as a lightning change artist. IMPATIENT CONSULATE HUNTERS. Some of the applicants for con sular appointments are beginning to regard themselves as being up against a bunco game that is being run by McKinley, and they are kicking as much as they dare to as long as they allow themselves to cherish hopes of getting a government berth. These men say that every time they go to the White House to try to push along their application, they are told that he isn't ready to take up the ap pointment of consuls, and yet they see the nominations of consuls sent to the Senate almost every day, and some of them have been young fel lows whose only claim for recogni tion were the pocketbooks of their fathers, or the social "pull" of their mothers. It is not strange that this state of affairs should cause kicking. v PETTIGREW ALL RIGHT. Senator Pettigrew is apparently none the worse because of his disa greeable experience in the Senate on Saturday. His physician says that his trouble was merely a temporary paralysis of the vocal cords. His sudden cessation in the midst of the sentence which formed a part of a vehement speech created a sensation on the floor. Political Points.

PROSE POET ON THE STAFF. His Outburst Over flcKinley's Ashe- ville Trip. Some Unusual Informa tion. The Southern Railway's bureau of publicity and promotion has on its staff a prose poet of a high alti tude, so to speak. In the prelude to his ode to McKinley (including a description of the recent trip to Asheville) he avers that Asheville is "a city built on air" which would be nothing without the "exhilarat- 1 1 A 1 1 mg, aenai cnampagne mac stimu- ates to the point ot intoxication.

Speaking of the helds of golden grain that are being garnered all along the line he gives the informa- tion that "Uovernor-Hoic is running 10 harvesters this week and will make 10,000 bushels of wheat." Which is startling, to say the least. In one of hia outbursts he ex claims: "The American Switzerland has scenes to inspire a painter or a poet. The Cherokees loved this region and mourned when driven to the West. Even the savatres srrew poetic in the mountains and peopled the earth and air with 'invisible ones like to the gods and demigods of the ancient Greeks. They heard angelic voices in battle and saw in the storm- wraith the garments of a god." In Other Countries.
