C. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 4, 1897. THE CALDRON HOTTER. j- 1 fire exows hotter among the Th poptilists. All. of the late democratic kickiers who followed Butler Into the- out'f their late friend and allying them selves with the populisjt legislative hol ders. It looks as if Skinner, Whitaker and others" were seeking the radical party via the populist recalcitrants. When they: and Captain Kftchin met the recalcitrants (who are simply radi cal allies or helpers) it looks funny to cool outsiders and bn-lookers. When they wink at each other they sota voce say: "When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" The one thing they seem bent upon is to destroy Butler and drive him from the populist's party that he practical'y created in this state and built up to all it ever did. . So Jeter Pritchett is the head of the - populist party now, or his lieutenant. Trimmer Skinner; by appointment of said Jeter P. Well, it is a nice, refresh ing kettle of fish any way. And report says that Major Guthrie is about to "ji.ne" the bolters: It really looks at this writing as if the Russell-Jeter party is about to make a jelean sweep of the populist remainder and draw ... them all into its huge and devouring maw. It is another illustration of the saw that nothing succeeds 3ike success, "the rads are on top of the hay wagon and it all depends upon them whether crumbs of comfort shall fall into the wide-open mouths of the eagerly seek ing pops. The cry of the hungry now is A sop! a sop! It 1 is observable how much of real principle there is in a.11 this eternal pow-wowing and abusing. The divi sion of spoils is their song in the day and their dream in the night. Even Butler may have a fresh swing at the North Carolina public teat if he will come in qut of the rain and make his salaams to' Pritchett of Tennessee, Lest we forget it, let US say that Jeter Pritchett, deserves more com mendation than "we ever bestowed upon h'm. We read lately from the pen of one of the editors of the Nashville "Christian Advocate," the actual organ of all . Southern Methodism, that . he knew Jeter in. boyhood, that his real name was Pritchett, that he was very poor, but deserved great praise for his earnest seeking of an , education, and that he had good abilities, &c, Read ing this we at once felt kindlier for the Ttjnnesseean who had . from poverty and obscurity fought his way until he had reached the United States senate. VVe have always had full sympathy and respect for poor young men strug gling against adversity and rising su perior to it, and -we have always de . - . .. . - s.irea ioiena sucn masterful youth a friendly, helping hand. While we do not like,? can never like the senator's politics, i live can have much more re spect for ( him knowing something of his-, career and successes It is to be remarked that Butler and Skinner are exchanging touching com pliments just uow. In Washington the senator is "talking right out in meet ing' and is also hitting straight-out from the shoulder. , He is giving "par tieular fits" to the North Carolina . acrobat of the east, and to the Geor ; gian, i atson, who was a marplot in the late campaign and said disagree able things of the chairman of the pop uhst campaign committee. Now But'.er with iron-covered fist strikes back. He is pleased to say of his late ally and political boon-companion "Mr. Skinner is probably the most despised and contemptible character in North Carolina. He could not, today, be elected even a delegate of the peo ple's party from . any township in his own county to a county convention. He has no future except in the republican party." So this supposed populist jewel is only an imitation, a sort of rhinestone ground by the artistic political lapi dary. Skinner is neither si'ent nor idle He leaps Into the ring, and he puts his thumb onf his hose and laughs as he wiggles his fingers. "We will ignore .Butler. He is in a vacuum, he is no more, No a corporal's guard of -his followers i left. His party is gutted. And so the war waxeth mqre furi ous as the days go fcy. It is a fine outlook for. the maintenance of honest convictions ' and bed-rock princides. The pepple looking upon this wild scramble 'for places, power and grub must hhve :a supreme disgust unless they ar4 lowBifed in the tone and vol ume of their own lives. To- divide the office's and to outwit each other is the inspiration and - hope of 'the factions triple-headed and three-tailed. If But ler receives' really his ''conge," and is forced out of the party he has "en thused," inspired arid led wkh no little skill and effectiveness, what will be its future, what will become of it? "The times have been That, when the brains were out, the man couia cue. With ' Butler .dethroned, exiled, sil enced, who has brains enough' to keep the pops together? Will they not be absorbed by the radicals. In tljat case it will be an open fight between the democracy and the negro party as tt was in 1866-76. ' - HOME FOLKS. I Governor Russell is making a bold aggressive fight against the disturbing railway lease. Will he be downed by his party? In the Imperial exercise of the abused and dangerous one-man power Governor-Russell moves .off - well in refusing to commute the sentence; of one Mon roe Johnson under sentence of death. Firemen in Wilmington will be in terested in thei passage in the house of the bill giving them poll tax exemption. It will probably pass, the senate. Men who serve so faithfully without pay richly deserve such a favor,, small as it is. ' ; There is a conflict of promise between the governor and Senator Pritchett. They both promised . henchmen a big sop in the state frying pan, and now. there is trouble. The governor's man is John R. Smith, whilethe senator's man is Refnhard who was able to elect him by delivering iwp bolting pops, and the much coye'ted place is the su perintendoncy of the radical voters in the biff pen at Raleigh. . One account Is that Reinhardt roped and' delivered to Jeter P. Ave pops all sober enough to vote as directed.' It looks as if Smith will get the overseer's place of the radical hands in the penitentiary. Upon a promise of a vigorous effort to reform his life . Judge Norwood mould have another chance. In the Tiast we have heard of; judses , being oomthing "full" on the bench and ac tually drunk off the bench at niht. ft is thought that Judge Norwood sober was a resneetable judare," and th tatesville Mascot says the best of all the populist appointments. If it Is true, and It is thought in Raleie-h that it is true, that this stat and the whole south are to be victimized ?nd outraged by an infernal trust that will gin and press all cotton at its own rates, -then it is high time certainly that the leeislature should take vigo rous steps to prevent it if it be possi ble to do so in so far as North Caroli na farmers, are concerned. This wouldj be is, calamity and crime if allowed to 'materialize" in our state. The Raleigh Tribune has a w un of the flourishing town of Rockingham In the fine county of Rich It states that "there are six cotton mills manufacturing fabrics located hre which represent a capital of about $2,- 000,000, and there are enterprising mer chants and business men who are do ing much to unbuild the town.- Among them are Great Falls Manufacturing Company, Pee "Dee Manufacturing Company, Roberdel Manufacturing Company, Ledbetter ." Manufacturing Company, Midway Manufacturing Company, Steele Manufacturing Com pany. The population of Rockingham numbers 2,000 people." There are three modern hotels kept in good style Tt also has pictures of two of the young men of promise in ' the town, lawyer Claudius and editor Settle Dockery both well educated and at the univer sity of North Carolina. It was only a dav or two ago that we found an opportunity to read Dr. Kemp P. Battle's very admirable ad dress at the inauguration of President Alderman. Dr. Battle was some fif teen years president of the university and did masterly work in resuscitating. rehabilitating and strengthening the noble old institution of learning. He has; been as- student and teacher and president identified with it-for fifty -years a long time and most worthily spent. He refired preferring the pro fessorship of history etc., he now holds Dr. Battle's address is wisely, interest pressed. In it he paid .the new presi ingly conceived and felicitously ex dent : exalted and yet not fulsome praise, for Dr. Alderman had v"v hi' pupil. There are many highly enjoy ahle and quotable passages in the happy speech. It opens in this pleas ing, arresting way: "Fourteen years ago, at the commence ment of 1882 in the days when Senator Butler and President Mclver, Rev. Drs R. T. Bryan and PL Strange the Win ston brothers and -Judge Coble, Attorney- General Walser and Electors Ay cock and Craige.-jand other prominent men, were in this! miniature world dis playing the qualities of mind and heart which have made 'them conspicuous figures in our state, I presented., to that excellent governor and friend dt the university for his bachelor's degree one who was of highest, scholarship in his class. He had previously carried off prizes, much sought after by our stu dents, and especially the Representa tive and Mangum medals for excellence in oratory. Never before or since have the faculty in my day awarded a diplo- ima to a. graduate more certain of fu ture sucess." : 1 LITERARY GOSSIP, Mrs. Annie Fields, widow of thei late James T. Fields author and publisher of Boston, in her new book entitled "Authors 'and Friends" writes most sympathetically and charmingly of Lady Tennyson, J. who lately died sur viving her great husbarHibut some three years. Mrs. Fields kne,w her in timately, visited her more than once, and gives a most engaging account of a most lovely, once very handsome.and long, afflicted woman. It is a most charming picture of refinement, grace loveliness. We have read nothing in a long time that so held us. Let us give a short extract that our readers who love us give a short extract :that our readers who love Tennyson may have a glimpse of the noble, true, cul tured woman he so long loved: , "Something. in.her bearing and trail ing dress, perhaps gave her a mediae val aspect which suited ,with the house. The latter, 1 haye been told, was form-erl- a baronial holding, and the fail Enid and the young Elaine appeared to be at one with her own childhood , The social atmosphere of Farringford, which depended upon its mistress, was warm and simple. A pleasant company of neighbors and friends was gathered when Maud wa.s read aloud to us, a wide group, grate ful and appreciative, and one to-which he liked to read. After this the mists of time close over! 1 can recall hei again in the gray dress and kerchief following our footsteps to the oor. J can see her graceful movement! of the head as she waved her adieux K I can see the poet's dusky figure standing by her side, and that is all. Sometimes she lives confusedly to the world of imagination as the Abbess at Almes-bury- and sometimes, as one who knew her has said,' she was like the first of the three queens, 'the tallest of them all. and fairest,' who bore away the body of Arthur. She was no less thar these, being a living inspiration pt thr heart of the poet's everyday life," Some things appear in newspapers in the way of literary judgment, for it cannot be called criticism, that makes one impatient or disgusted. Take this that appeared in a Mississippi newspa per on a poem by a southern Methodist preacher, of Texas, we think, Re" rr DuBose; He is really clever as to abil ity and we have read prose articles b hjm that were intellectual and i even, brilliant. We know but little -"- -verse, but doubtless he is a poet. The Mississippi editor wrote of his poem called "Unto the Dawn": "The stan zas are often noble in conception and expression, and suggest the best work of Alfred Tennyson." Think of that equal to bestr-of the great English poet. That means some of the noblest, greatest, most exquisite poetry literatures. If Dr. DuBose can do that kind of work he should not be over looked by any lover of the best poetry in all the w-orld. We may not doubt that there are some excellent passages, but it is nonsense to compare them with the most perfect poetic composition and inspiration, in English literature.' Some English men of letters were asked by an English periodical to name the three or four books of last year che liked best. The New York .Tri bune gives some if not all of the replies, and they are amusing. We quote a part: "Professor Norman Lockyer men tions Mr. Percival Lowell's "Mars" and Mr. Barrie's "Sensational Tommy,"and then adds, in a parenthesis: 'No time for reading Feriously.' The juggler, Mr. Paul Cinquevalli, liked best "The Sorrows of Satan" and Jude the Ob scure." This presents a phenomenon. Catholicity is all very well, but when a man can read those two books and be pleased by them both there must be something wrong.' But there Is no telling what a man will like. Mr. Max Beerbohm is, of couree-VMdence.and, with a fine disregard . proJymitation by his there f3jen.tl0ns j and . VJ m time set by Shakespeare ferred books Mr. Wilson Barrett made the same choice, but put the Bible first." J We are glad of that dig at "Jnde" and 'The Sorrows of Satan." What taste! What folly! The British religious "Expositor" is to be renublished in this country with changes and additions, and the Ameri can editor is to be Ttev. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, recently elected pres ident of Preszytfrlan Union Theolog ical -Seminary. He will be assisted by leading divines, Presbyterian, tmwoo nallan and Bantlst, who will - act as regular contributors. Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., will publish the periodical. The English publication is a sort of or gan of "higher criticism," Its chief contributors being of that set. If the American edition is no better men of sound mind would do well to avoid it. Miss Francis C. Baylor, of Va.,- ha3 recently finished a story entitled "Miss Nina Borrow." It will appear as a serial in St. Nicholas.

The New York Evening PoSt is scandalous enough to Charge that the great southern senator, Morgan, gets "unusually full." What does it mean? Ts it "mean enough to insinuate drunk enness? - . i There is a great abuse in New York state. The comptroller says that near-' ly $3,000,000 of personal property in that state escapes ' taxation. You may be sure that the poor people with houses worth from $1,000 to $5,000 have to pay. The English press sours over the sen ate amended arbitration treaty and says it Is meaningless. The lion flourish ea his tail and gives a deep growl. Grover and Salisbury are reported "sore," and Great Britain will reject aa amended. Paners that supported the bolto- crats and howled for gold only are de nouncing ' the present democratic tariff at last as "ratten witfh protectionism.' Thait extreme gold grinder, Philadel phia Record, says this. Late, but it "is never too late to mend." : The arbitration treaty is' now be fore the senate and is ready to be de bated. It is thought that i ratification is not to be soon expected, and that the debate may be protracted for months, This makes the Cleveland claquers quite furious, and the senate i "cussed out" with handy expletives. The north is awakening as to the abominable one man pardoning power, The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, a decent, able paper, says of the abuses: ' "Governor Upham, of Wisconsin, par doned so many noted life prisoners in the closing days of. his administration that the legislature wm propose a con stitutional amendment taking the par doning power from the governor and vesting it In a board." The able Houston (Texas) Post urges the legislature to appropriate largely for equipping and sustaining the state university. It says: "Let a building be added each year, until Ae univer sity has as many, lecture rooms, recita tion rooms, study rooms, laboratory rooms, rooms for museums, etc., as are provided for the university of Minme seta, of Wisconsin, of Missouri, of Vir ginia or 'any other state."

The Central Carolina Lumber Pro tective Association held its second meeting, in the spacious parlors of the Hotel LaFayette at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, Mr. W. F. Williams presid ing.

The marrow of the case seems to be that a laree part of the votes cast for Smith at the last election were erroneous by an initial letter. Had all the ballots been nrlnt- ed alike. Smith would have been elect ed. Opinion is divided on the question, but no two opinions exist as to Mr. Troy's excellence as a public official. Crumpler, the evangelist, lias estab lished himself and his coadjutors in the immense Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry, armory, and is casting about, seeking lost souls.

Ex-Sheriff J. B. Smith, a popular citizen and prominent democrat, had a final settlement with the county com missioners this week, resulting in a balance due to him of about $2,000. It is not always that a retking officer makes so gratifying a showing. The new jail is about ready for occu pancy: and, when its security, con struction, etc., shall have been fully tested, it will be formally turned over to the county authorities.
