Work Hm't. v i weiuivtuuMt Everybody la thinking about the north ; pole and Dr. Tansen now. It is glorious to hare something to distract our atten tion from politics. And there are the cathode rays that have come Just In time to belp out. it is awful to nave to read politics day after day and to ponder over the way. of parties and partisans. A. quail a day tor thirty days is nothing to be oora pared to it. Let ns hate any sort of a recess now. We wouldent miLQ a big fire or a small earthquake a quake that would shake the windows in the big house at Washington and opaet a few desks and tables and roll the drunken member from Alabama off the sofa, I wish aume Guy Xawkers would come along and scare them all to bad that they would go home and never go back any more. The people; are tired and disheartened. There are a few good public servants there, but they are lost and helpless. The majority would see the country go to the devil before they would get out of the line of their party.- The currency and the tariff are not party questions, but the. parties hsve made them so. . This has been said before but it is worth saying again. There is no moral principle that governs s professional politician. Look at Blackburn and Hunter what an ex pense to the state will turn the taxpay ers have to meet just to gratify the greed or . the selfish ambition of two men. Kentucky has hundreds of men Just as bio and weu qualified at they ana Then why don't they withdraw and stop ail their wrangle. Why don't the members make them withdraw. . The answer is that this is politics impure and complex politics. Surely the com mon people are fools or they would send better men to congress and to the legis lature. . " ; ' - But I was thinking about Dr. Naosan and the North pole. Can it be possible that he has found it found the end of the earth the very tip end of the spin dle that the earth turns on, and was there a linoh pin in it and was the axle greased or was the journal hot and did tne sparks ny and so lortn. u tne doc tor hasent found anything bat sn open polar sea and a few walruses and seals and no big, awful suckhole at the cen ter mat had liked to have pulled his vessel in them, he may go back and try it again. 'The world won't be satisfied with that and it won't believe htm. Why, John Geres Symmet found a theoretical hole up there that was 2,000 miles in diameter and a vessel could sad in and around just as easy as sailing on theocean. - . .' 8ymmes's hole was talked about when I was a boy and it has had believers ever since. - Then Jules Verne came along and made a journey up there or paper and found the identical pole and put a Bag on it, and the one he raised is flying there yet. And last, but not least, Mr. Fairman hat found a manu script left by -one of BirJohn Franklin's men in an Eskimo nut and it tells the whole story, bow he and an Eskimo and six dogs were cut off from the vessel and tookrabelter in a cave of ice and lived on walrus and bear meat And after some days determined to ex plore the cave and kept on and on and on, by the light of their blubber-lamp, until tbey bad traveled 160 miles, and at last came to the epening on the other side, which Is to say the inside of Bym mes s hue, and found land ana t people and fine cities and fruits and flowers, and lakes and rivers, and the whole was lighted up by the aurora boreaiis. Mr. Fairman calls it. the third world and makes a very fascinating story of it. If it was true I would be lieve it, and I am inclined to believe It anyhow. . It has charming love story mixed up with it, and 1 am not yet too old to enjoy them. I've always bad an idea that the: Creator put the aurora boreaiis np there for some other purpose betides an occasional illumination of our northern horizon. Maybe it is big electric are light from those people in the bole, who never see tne sun. Verily, we are on the eve of great things, but we don f know wbat tbey are. lir.

Wasiiixqton, Feb. 29lh, 1896. President Cleveland dropped a hint to a gentleman who was talking with him a day or two ago that will net be enjoyable newt to , the , Republican Presidential candidate who presides over the House, and who has lately been congratulating himself on the apparent success of the do-nothing pro gramme he arranged for Congress many months ago. President Cleveland made it plain to his caller that he thought the country was today as badly in need of financial legislation at when he tent that special message to Congress asking that no recess be taken; also, that if Congress adjourned without adopting some legis lature for the relief of the Treasury he would not hesitate to" call an extra session at once for the purpose of pro-, tiding that relief. . Of ooune, Mr. Cleveland-knows that be "cannot make Congress past remedial legislation by calling an extra session, but he can focus publio attention upon the refusal or inability of the Republican Congress to adopt legislation that would relieve the Treasury, and intelligent people will not be alow either in placing the respon sibility or in locating the reason. The Republicans are afraid that if they should help to put the Treasury in' good shape it might lessen their -chances for carry ing the Presidential election by making tne country too prosperous. - They don't wish the country to get too pros perous neiore election. - . -.v:;s '.. u -i Considerable interest has been aroused among the friends of the other candi dates by the report that a deal had been made by which- the friends of Mr. Harrison, got.

"So far at Mr." Cleveland personally it concerned, X have no doubt that he would prefer the peace and quiet of uuuio mo w uio cuiauuvua auu cares ui the Presidency.-. He hat enjoyed the honors and has suffered the inevitable annoyances and disappointments of that most important offioe, but at the tame time I am convinced that it patriotic considerations satisfied, him that the path of his duty lay in the acceptance of a candidacy for another term, he would postpone hit personal preferences, bowever strong-tbey might be. In an other direction. Otherwise he would, t presume, maae nig wppes very piainiy and emphatically known.'' i " - 'It is my belief that if in the next few months the Treasury be found to be in a-healthy oonditoni and all our for eign relations amicable, Mr. Cleveland will positively refuse to allow bit name to go before the nominating conven tion.

Bulkeley, of the faculty- of .Claftln University, the .negro oollegt located there, in a communica tion to the New York World thus des cribes the phenomenon: ' , . . A colored boy of thirteen years, of poor and illiterate parents, was sick for less than a fortnight with what the physician considered stomach pains, for which he dosed him. - ., ; After he had been4hus suffering nine days a noise sometimes like the crow ing of a cook, the barking of a dog or the lowing of a cow was heard in his stomach.- In a day or two this sound became intelligible, and such express ions as "O, Lordie, I wants to get out!" "0, Lordie, I'm so tired!" were beard. In a few days the voice became more and more loquacious, and would say, "I'm n hungry,'?- ; ''You hurt me, George," and to on almost continually. .To the question who put it there, it re plied - "God." Some one: asked its name. It said ''Josephine,'' by which name the voice is now known. These mysterious abdominal commu nications aroused the village to wild ex citement The littlecabin was thronged with the curious. The superstitious be lieved the manifestations were a sign of approaching judgment. Many a pious old soul got happy over it and praised God that he had lived to see the day. Some even sung and prayed over it with a spirit of exercism. One old woman noted for her piety and equally for her intense superstition, stood iwith eyes aglow as she said, "What he is? Didn't he teU yer? God put 'em dere, De people nebber b'lieve when the Lord cast out de deb- ble, : and dey won't believe now. Judgment goin,' ketch 'cm, snd den dey'll b'lieve." The ignorant and superstitions are not alone in their wonder over the prodigy. Some of the most intelligent people tor miles around have come and witnessed and then have gone away un able to decide what the cause is. . Dr. Moorer, who attended the case, said: "I don't know what it is. It can t be a case of ventriloquism, because he has afore knowledge- of things, l have never read or heard of anything like it. A ventriloquist can control his voice, but this sound comes without the boy's volition." --!; sss' -t'-;-. , The father of the boy -was told by dif ferent people not to give the boy any more medicine, for "the doctors might kill him" in order to have a. chance to study the phenomenon.'- The boy re covered after being sick about two weeks, and is now able to go out. ; -, t -: The boy s father alleged that the voice couldtell any pageof a book one might torn to without the boy t seeing it, oould tell stranger's name,, where be oametroiny- how many persons there were in his family, when he is going to die, etc.; Some amusicg scenes have followed ; "Josephine t - ; declarations that inch and such a person is "going to die soon; you'd better pray.".. There it one cose of my knowledge where a man whose approaching demise was predicted, went to bed and began to medicine himself. - . r I visited George's , home and asked him to tell me his name,'. He did so (from hit mouth), I then siH, "Talk from your stomach." lie replied, . "I " "Well, then, make Josephine talk," and he, to my great amuaemeat said, "Talk, Josephine."' The voice said,' -"I won't do it" . "Don't you want tome candy!" "No, I don't." Thus I kept up a fust lade of questions to notice the enect. me responses always came in a decidedly different voice from bis, but the remarkable tea ture is that hemakee so many absolutely distinct tones in his Btomach or bottom of hit chest without the least motion of face, or lips. Hit throat however. movea.. I put my hand theie to make the . test. His father claimed that Josephine 'could talk while George is eating, - when be was sleeping, or si multaneously with him. Every physician here has examined tbe case, and some nave come a nun dred miles to study it. Dr. J. B. Hyd rick, said: "At first it was a case of unconscious ventriloquism; the boy did not know his gift. Tho noise surprised and ' frightened him. . But now he knowt hit power and can speak or keep silence at will. You will notice it any one holds his ear to hit stomaohe he will make the sounds;, but it he places hit ear to bit lurayx or holds it he will refrain from' speaking. I consider it an illustration of demonology, which hat for ages excited the world, and notably at the time of Christ" - The Encyclopedia Britannic says 'The primiuveand savage theory or in. spiration by another spirit getting in side the body is most materialistic, and cheating - toruerem accordingly, use ventriloquism of the original kind. which (at its name implies) is supposed to be caused by 'the voice of a demon inside : the body of the speaker,, who really himself talks in a feigned human voice in squeaking or-whistling , tones thought suitable to tbe thin-bodiod iptr it-visitor."

March 20. Mr. J. C. Ellington, Raleigh, N.

When you consider that each Voter who participates in a township (or primary) meeting and votes for delegates to the county con vention who vote for delegates to the State convention and they in turn for sites to the National convention, indirectly votes for the nomination of all Democratic candidates from Presi dent down, you can readily see that it would pe eminently improper for bim to take part in the 'primaries' unless be intends to support the candidates jvfyich ns, through bis agents, bat assisted m nominating, - "The requisite that a citizen must vote for the candidate he hat been in strumental in naming 4s no new one, and is essential to the preservation of the integrity of the party. 1 should say therefore that only those who are Dem ocrats and intend to support the Demo cratic nominees can have a voice in naming delegates to the various Demo cratic conventions. "I hope and believe that your fears are groundless and that the honesty and integrity for which our people have been proverbial, wilt not be tarnished by such action as you anticipate. "It will not be out of place in this convention, I feel sure, for me to im prest upon all Democrats throughout the State a due exercise of prudence and charity, to the end that no one who believes that .in honest adherence to the Democratic principles will beat secure the reforms, which the people so much need, may havo excuse for sev ering his allegiance.

Can it be possible that this man who talks calmly about "the present Con gress" doing "little outside of passing tho appropriation bills," it tho tame man who grew rad in the face in the fall of 1894 denouncing the "do-noth ing Democratic Congress," and prom ised, if elected, to bring "relief" to the people?

Still it ought to be said, and we fancy Col. Carr can stand by it. " Tho Yancey man who heard Rev. Ki.

We want again to commend Judge Clark for his candor and honesty in dis--carding; all the rot about bi-metallism in arguing for free silver coinage and plant ing himself flat-footed on the Mexicau-ailver-moiio-nietallic platform. Ho is at least not guilty of beating about the bush and trying to make people believe that we tan have or ought to hove free coinage and bi-metailism at tho same time. Charldtto Obsetver, Referring to the death of Congress man Crain, of Texas, Jack Cohen writes to the Atlanta Journal: "Suffice it to say that in the hey -dey of his youth he fell into the hands of the gilded Phil istines of the capital. His talents were soon lying dormant, and his money went so fast that he hardly realized that be had nothing left but the confidence of his own people au5 his congressional salary to live upon.
