Le Matine, a newspa per which is supposed to be directly in spired, says: "It is improbable that we shall risk war for the sake of the nominal possession of territories which France bus had within her grasp, but has never been able to retain.

London, Oct. 10. To a congratulation of the morning newspapers is added the felicitation of the evening papers to Sal isbury upon the firm attitude of tbe gov ernment in regard to the Fashoda inci dent.

PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING KINSTON, N. C, Skinnef on Negro Rule In 1892 Wilmington Messenger. Mr. Josephus Daniels, In hie publish! f)olitioal 8j)eecli, mentions an intT.'Htii.g act that bus been forg.iten. H mmvh that the latw Col. Leonid . Polk, the vir tual founder of the nutiotial Populist party," would notunetion negro fusion." He also recalls another fact that is perti nent and instructive. Th very Harry Skinner, now affiliating with the dis gusting, black political party, om;n showed more character and self rt-sp-et. He was only a few year ago opposed bitterly to negro rule. He was nomina ted for governor on August 17, 185)2. by the Populists. Skinner uiaNde a speech in which he declared he was very much afraid of negro rule. If there was dan ger in it then, there is ten times the dan ger now, and he knows it. Here is an extract from his speech of acceptance. Let sensible, honest and upright Popu lists read what he said, and wonder at his betrayal of himself and his race now: "Before I accept this nomination it must be ujon known a1!! well-defiund terms. And what are those t- rras? It is this: That at any hourther uppears euch adivision wrought ninonjr the w hite people of the country that theK"publi an machine, the commou enemy of ns all and of our countrv. and the cause of all our evils, has and is surreptitiously tak iug advautage and white supremacy is en (large red, I want to advise you of it. I shall be a patriot to North Carolina, and advise you or the dangers in which you are. And unless you give me that power, unless you are willing to entrust me with that confidence, unless you are williin; of yourselves while fighting na tionally tbe battle of reform, in the ease of North Caroliua, you see that your peo ple are divided and the Republican have the advantage of you aud aregoin; to elect their ticket, if I cannot tell you, then, geut lemen, I cannot be your candi date for governor." The Elephant as a Worker. In the Siamese Malay states there are probably about 1,000 domesticated ele phants all told, and in the Lao country probably over 2,500 animals are work ing at the present moment That these animals .breed in captivity in Siam is due to the fact that a largo number of them spend the greater part of their time holiday making in the jungle. When there is no work for his beast, the mahout takes him out to a nice cool green bit of forest and leaves him there to enjoy himself. There is no expense connected with his upkeep, for he looks after himself. He has a hobble of rattan round his feet to dissuade him from wandering too far, and a wooden bell round his neck, by the tone of which the mahout or his little boy can always find him, "when they go out once a month to look him up and give him some bananas. -Geographical Journal A Chinese Advertisement. As a' testimonial to the progress of the Chinese toward English and Amer ican ways it is interesting to note their appreciation of the value of advertising in English in the columns of their news papers. ' The i following notice, which appeared recently in a Chinese paper published in a district where there are many English residents, may leave a trifle to be desired in the way of ex pression, but it shows a creditable effort to master the difficulties of a foreign tongue. It runs: "For Sale by. private contract with out reserve, 4 Ponies Cavendish, Tag, Sally and a white Griffin. The 8 first named ponies are quite hacks and will carry a Lady also a Dinghy with mast, sails and, oars complete. " Both Well Posted. There is a story current in Washing ton of a ' charming girl whose partner said to her as in waltzing, they just missed a statue of the Venus of ililo: "We mustn't dance too near that or somebody will accuse us of breaking it " T Thegirl turned her lovely eyes on the ctatue. f?Why,f said she, "somebody's broken it already."
