The TobBoco Plant's SenslUvenets. A curious fact is the tobacco plant's habit of erecting its leaves at sundown and dropping them at sunrise. Of course it is only possible while . the plant is immaturewhile the upper leaves are not more; than two-thirds developed but it is so marked as to make a wide difference in the looks of a field at evening and 12 hours later. And there- suits are so beneficent" as to make it seem the result of reason, for if the dew- fall is heavy it all runs down . to the stalk, trickles down to the root and thus fortifies it against the blazing sun, while if the leaves remained in pendu lous spread . the moisture would either drop from their points beyond reach or else evaporate in the morning sun.

I had a pretty good supply of butterfly ties with me, but .somehow I mislaid them while in Gome. I searched through nearly every store in the Eternal City, but could not find any. I had a similar experience in Berlin and Vienna, I was told, however, that I would have no trouble to secure what I wanted in Paris, but, though I tried nearly all the large establishments, I could not find such a thing, though there were hun dreds of other styles easily obtainable. Next 1 tried London, though more for the funof the thing than anything else, for I had some made to order in Faris. and, Etrango as it may appear, cone, of the haberdashers cf London could sup ply them. Until thi3 experience I did cot know that the fcctterSv tie ia dis tinctly an American idea and U enly known here," Washington Star. Says Railroad is Heal Assassin of Ooebal. James Cteelman in New York Journal. ' The real author of the reign of terror in Kentucky is the Louisville & Nashville Railroad company. - This giant corpora tion baa controlled the councils of the Democratic party in that state and has dictated the nomination and election n: every governor since the civil war; It is the champion and defender of lawless corporate power. u . : '. Got, Goebel led the fight in the Ken tucky senate and in the law courts against the criminal and tyrannous power of the Louisville & Nashville rail road and its corporate allies. At times the senator had . to ugh almost single- handed. He was a stern: ruthless, un conquerable man, the first to bring the railroad oligarchy to its knees. Mr. Goebel's enemies may abuse him, but the fact remains that during his long service m the Kentueky senate no corporation was able to buy or bully him. He was incorruptibility itself in his official life: He forced the railroad to pay its share of the-taxes, be introduced and passed laws protecting railroad employes, and he brought scores of actions for damages in the courts. He fought against the corrupt and law-defying rule of the Louisville & Nashville Kaiiroad company as Tilden and O'Conner fought against enthroned , crime in the ' days of Boss Tweed. ' . FOUGHT THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC, TOO. Not only did Senator Goebel attack the dread Louisville & Nashville, but he boldly grappled with the unspeakable Southern Pacific Railroad company. He discovered by reading the charter which Coins f. Huntington and his lobby sue ceeded in crettintr from the Kentucky leaf- islaturethat the state had dishonored its name. This extraordinary charter per mitted the Southern Pacific to engage in practically any kind of business except in the state - of Kentucky. In other words. Mr. Huntiniarton and his accom plices could plunder the people of all the other states provided that they did not plunder the people of Kentucky. Mr. Goebel sought to - revoke this almost incredible- charter. It was a desperate struggle, and Huntington won the fight; In the last7 Kentucky ; campaign - the Huntington force joined with the Louis ville & Nashville and the trusts to defeat Mr. Goebel. , - I made the tour of Kentucky with Mr. Goebel and Mr. Bryan in the last political fight, ft I had f a good i opportunity of studying this remarkable man, the most masterful personality;? perhaps, in the whole south. It is true that in the con vention : which nominated him for gov. ernor he resorted to political methods that one can hardly condemn too strongly, but it must be remembered that be was engaged m a life and death strutr gle with what bad hitherto been an irre sistible force in the Democratic party. He was fighting fire with fire. HEARD OF THREATS AGAINST GOEBEL. It was the Louisville & Nashville Rail road company and its confederates that nspired the spirit of murder in Kentucky. Again and again I was told during my trip with Mr. Bryan that Mr. Goebel would not survive to take his seat, even If he were elected. , i he combined corpo rations could not afford to let him live. How soon will this condition of things spread to other states? I have certainly seen the faint stirrings of this spirit of the vengeance of overgrown corporate power much nearer home than Kentucky. The Voice of Esau. News-Observer. . It now comes out that A. S. Peace, of Granville, ".wrote the address issued by the Populist executive committee against the amendmeut. Peace is a liranviiie man that cans nimseu axopunst. ne voted for negroes to represent his county in the legislature and spent the winter of 1897 in Raleigh lobbying to elect ritchard to the senate, and for so doing was omciaiiy denounced Dy tmtier and the majority Populists as a "traitor to opulist principles for Republican pie , When the time came to appoint a cost- master at Oxford, Peace,, the "traitor," was rewarded by Pritcbard, an appoint ment as postmaster being given to his wife. And so we see that a Pritchardite, a Federal office-holder, writes the "ad dress to Populists."' It will fool no Populist. The honest opulists in the fourth congressional dis trict saw McKinley revenue officers defeat therenomination of Congressman Strowd the Populist convention. They see a 'ritchard supporter, who rets bread and butter from the gold-6tandard and trust-ridden administration, writing the address of the Populist State committee, composed of men who hold office at the will of the nejrroes. nat win honest opulists do? They will as they did in 893 vote for white supremacy and pre vent a re turn Xo negro rule. , in GENERAL HEWS. Matters of Interest Condensed Into - Brief Paragraphs. Gov.
