FUSION IN CATAWBA. "KON-PARTIiAN'1 PCHEME8. . There is nothing into which populist j do not. carry politics. The court's of jwstict? which they, last sumitter, wanted to make ; o non-ySartit-ttii, Heemto be the a.take , for which ihey ale just now play ing. rlhe object they have in view will come to the surface be fore long Until the days of pop ulism, nobody cared as to what party a man belonged when his name was drawn a9 a juror. But all this iff changed. This week when the county commissioners began drawing the jury according to the long estab liehed custom, having the names f of all the jcitizens eligible for jury aervice of each township bunched .'together so that each township could get the usual allotment of jurors, several leading 'fusionists who had been hanging around waiting for the opportunity, de - manding a stop to be made in the proceeding and threatened to pros ecute the commissioners if they did not put all the names in one box and disregard ownership lines. They evidently thought by stirring the names from the whole county ogethor the populists names, for some reason, would come the top and the Democratic names go to thehottom. The law says, (we are told, for we have never exam ined it ourselves) that there shall be two boxes and the names are to be drawn from one box and put into another. Nothing is said as to" separating the names into townships. This custom had been followed in order, to insure all par ties of the county representation on the jury, The commissioners after a short consultation, decided that rather than have a political wrangle over a matter into which politics should never enter, that. they would let the ''non-partisan judiciarists" have their way. So the names were all thrown together and strirred up. One of the 'non partisans," fearing that possibly some straggling Democratic name might be near the top, demanding that they be stirred five minutes longer. The commissioners also yielded to this demand, and stirr ed the names another five minutes Then tjie drawing began. This was the result : Newton got 11 jurors, Hickory 9, Jacob's Fork 9, Clines 3, Ca tawba 2, Bandy 2, Mountain Creek 1, Caldwell 0. Thus three townships got 29 Jurors and the other five only 8. The people of ther last named five townships can lay their lack of representation on the jury to the pop "reformers." Strange to say, after all their planning, demanding and stirring the names drawn are about equal ly divided between the Democrats and the fusionists. ' The "reform ers" knocked five townships out of representation and then failed to capture the jury. Newton En terprise. Anrerica's Growth. An enormous. volume is soon to V, ; . J 1 T V -r entitled. One Hundred Years of American Commerce, prepared un der the direction of Dr. Chauncy M. Depew, who sums up the mate rial progress made by the United States. .buring the past century in the following figures: Our popu lation Jias grown from 3,000,000 to 70,000j000; our accumulated wealth from less than $100,000,000 to about $70,000,000,000 ; the number of our farms from probably about 100,003 to' nearly 5,000; 000; our agricultural products from just 000 peopb to an animal commer cial value of $4, 000,000,000. The workers upon our farms have, in creased from about 400,000 to 9, 000,000; the operatives in our fac tories from a handful to Oj 000,000, f and their earnings from a few thou sand dollars to $9 SftA 0Y Ann Y-jwvv.WVjVW. The increase in wages has been correspondingly great. Even since 1870 it has been 60 per cent, and the purchasing power of mon- ,jr iiua cynuiieeu aDout tne same. Our public school system was very crude at the beginning of the cen tury, and the contribution of the state for its support very small. Now we spend for education an nually 156,000,000, as against $124,000,000 for great Britain, Prance, Germany, Austria and Italy combined.

It is estimated that seventy-five revolutions have occurred since the establishment of the republic. An absolute separation of church and State has been effected ; civil marriage is insisted on, and other admirable and progressive institu tions have been established. Previously in 1886 her public school system Was very unimpor tant, only 1,312 pupils being in at tendance at the public schools in the year mentioned. Now the at tendance exceed 100,000. The constitution makes presi dents ineligible for re-election, and it is the earnest endeavor of Vene zuela statesmen to establish the politics of the conntry on a firm footing of peace and order. The fit anc ial system f Venezue la is the admiration and envy of all South American countries, the single gold standard being in force and the public debt of quite insig nificant propotions. Charlotte News. .Tiiiro. Origin ol tlie word The origin of the word jingo is interesting at this time, when one is confronted with it so often. At the time of the close of the Russo Turkish war, which, as all readers of history know, terminated so dis astrously for the Turks, and caused a feeling of apprehension in En gland that the Russians were bent on taking Constantinople, and the ultimate dismemberment of the Turkish empire, a change whjch could not be tolerated, the' public feeling found expression in En gland upon the stage in panto mimes and in the music halls by numerous patriotic songs. One of these was as follows : ' The dogs of warfare loose and the rug ged Rusain Bear, Full bent on blood and robbery ha: crawled out of his lair. It seems a thrashing now and then wilj never help to tame That brute, and so he's out upon th same old game. The Lion did his best to give him some excuse; To crawl back to his den again all ef forts were no use. He hungered for hi victim, he's pleas ed when blood is shed; But let us hope his sins may all recoil on his own head. Chorus : We don't want to fight, but by jingo, it we do, We've got the men, we've got the ships, we've got the money, too. We fought the Bear before, and while we're Britons true The Russians shall not have Constanti nople. The song became most popular, and was heard on every street cor ner, from every organ grinder, and was whistled by every bootblack. Shortly after this the election campaign began, in which Glad stone, the head of the Liberals,at tacked the Tory party, then led by the Earl of Beaconsfield, who was in power. The Tory foreign policy was ridiculed, and they were stig matized by the Liberals as the par ty of bloodshed, glory and jingo. The word is now as much of a political term as the word boycott, and is used to denote a bellicose, perhaps reckless national enthusi asm. Electrio XlfifHr. London oculists nrfl.- nn in of ra against the very serious danger to 5 the community caused by the electric light. Several eminent eye doctors are agreed on the point that unlesa a stop is put to ! the exposure of uncoyefeelectric J lights in the streets and in shops and office nearly all the popula-, tion will become blind Experts are so greatly exercised in the matter that they even suggest that : Parliament shculd take it un and X 1 9 prohibit , the use of . nlain irU- globes for . electric light unless j ivynjr BUUUetl. . . .In a. recent Luiie of the Newton Enterprise, we find tho following, . x j 1 1 1 .... . . wnicn 1 nave toiled hard all through life to accumulate, and beside all this, have the finger of scornp ointed at me for bursting, tsrotner tax payers, place your- - self in my position for a moment and ask yourself what you would - 1 do.

The above is unique. It un doubtedly stamps the Republican Sheriff of Catawba as a most hu mane man. We know the people of that county must appreciate Mr. Brady's consideration. This effusion must be due to the legis lature of 1895. It increased taxa tion ! Oi-ont Urltaln Arnn Great Britain's regular army consists of 220,000 men, of which India takes about 75,000 Ireland 27,000, and about 75,000 are kept at home. The balance are scatter ed over the world. Besides this force are 85,000 reserves and back of all 140,000 infantry and over 11,000 cavalry. Then there are the volunteers, which number 265,000 men, so that the entire organization may be put down at 718,000 men, of whom 605,000 are usually reckoned effective. The militia are, in effect, additional battalions of the regular army. The militiamen are regularly en listed for three years' term ot ser vice. In the first year they serve three months at the depot and at the annual encampment, and each subsequent year of their enlist ment 81 days under canvas.

Lloyd Lawndes was inau gurated Governor of Maryland last week to succoed Governor Frank Brown.

An Englishman has been im prisoned at Jacksonville, Fla.t be caused he refused to do road duty after residing there 13 months. He threatens to appeal to England for redress. The affair is likely to cause some correspondence be tween the two governments. Andrew Jackson's birthday was recently celebrated in New York City. Secretary Herbert spoke. He claimed that Jacksou was a' sound money man. He also spoke against having any mor two faced platforms. Ex-Congressman Ray norof Maryland also spoke. A letter from President Cleveland was read. Reports show that 1,782 miles of new railroad were laid in the "United States in the year just closed. This is better than 1S94 but is called small compared with the greatest year of railroad build ing the country has ever known 18,000milesinl837. The amount of railroad construction is quite a fair test of the genoral prosperity of a people, and it cannot be claim ed that American prosperity reached high water mark last year Texas got more new miles than any other State 224 and South Carolina got only 0. while the new -i ...... mileage in tnis State was 89.
