Borne day ago we appealed to Mr. Shep pard M.Dugger to send us a specimen of his rhyme, if he had written any, in order that we might compare it with that of the rising South Carolina poet, Coogler, We are glad to learn from Mr. Willie Chaucer Ervin, editor of the Morgan ton Herald, that Dagger does write poetry. Mr. Ervin Ought to know for he studied English lltpmtnre under Dagger. Mr. Ervin will he re jn em be red as the author of the famous Duggeresque expression: "The Bull of the Brnshiea with his tail in curl papers." Ervin is also "responsible for the following gem, entitled "An Ode to Shep:" "Oh, DnggerDuger, Khep. M. Dagger, Court thy mow ; If used be hug her : Sbe'll tell you 'II tall you moo thai ran 're a nm on 're a poet; Ana When she do, then: Dagger, go The rhapsodic response to which 1 agger went it, leaned over the banis ters of the present and handed the fol lowing down to posterity and the future of his fame .follows: "Johnny- woodchuctc sat on a chestnut lump. Ana be squinted down through an Ivy clomp, And tala little red heart went ker-champ, ker-ohump, ker-champ, Ker-chnmp, ker-champ, ker-chump, ker- cnump, ker-cnump. For he taw Folly Woodchuck sitting on the lao OX a knock-kneed, red-baded wood -checker chap. Bo he laughed till his tail went kerflap, ker- ixap, Keruap, Kerflap, kerflap, kerflap, kerflap, kerflap. TVe cannot vouch for this woodland lyric; it saddens us to think that Dug ger would treat a theme of this thus nass so abovely as he does! Think of handling the indiscretion, to say the least, of Madame Woodchucker, in this light, frivolous vein; think of her sit ting upon the lap of a nondescript' -woodenucker tramp, who had come along, and begged at the kitchen door for something to eat; but worse still it is to think that Woodchuck himself,. instead of reaching under his ker-flap into his pistol-pocket for his gun, and shooting the erring pair in their tracks, should be so overcome with the ridic ulous and ludicrous in the scene that spread before his vision through the hole in the ivy clump, as to give way to such an outburst of hilarity as makes an electric fan of his tail and an ass of himself.. But, hist! soft! slow! Perhaps we misjudge the poet. Per haps he intended this as a fln-de-siecla Enoch Arden story. The tramp wood chuck has returned from over the seas to claim his long-lost love, (the present Mrs. Woodchuck) and she, in sitting on his lap so promiscuously, is merely giving the red-headed chucker a re minder of the Auld Lang Syne days, while Woodchuck himself shakes his iail by way of approbation. Is this the hidden meaning? TRUTH ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt declares that "I have been in practical politics, and have taken my share of hard knocks, and more and more I have come to be lieve that decency is good politics, and that the most practical is honest poli tics." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat argues that "this view of the matter is justified not only by the general results of political contests in our country, but also by the lessons to be derived from the personal history of suceess ful and unsuetessful public men. There is nothing more certain than that in politics, as in everything else, the best policy is the one that appeals to the popular sense of straightforwardness in' the as sertion of principles and purposes, and in the management of the various things that constitute what we call campaigns." This is, to borrow a phrase from Congressman Settle, "the long-life policy." It is ine one which will win in the end, or even if it fail, he who practices it will go down with self-respect and in the enjoyment of the re spect of the public. The demagogua may succeed for a time but any politi cal life which has not honesty and pa trictum at its root cannot be perma nently successful, failure must come sooner or later, to the trimmer and time-server, and when he dies he leaves behind a memory which is a stench. THE FACT AND TELE ABGCMIKT. Mr. Saml. P. Patterson, State Com missioner of Agriculture, says to a re porter of the Raleigh Press-Viaitor: "During the past year I have traveled a- great deal over the State and have had an opportunity to observe the con dition, of the people. I tell you frankly I believe that the people of this State .are to-day in a better condition than they ever were before." Mr. Patterson ia a successful farmer and a close ob server, and what he says of the general condition of the people of the State is undoubtedly true. Recently published official statistics showed that the mort gage indebtedness of the people of North Carolina is insignificant com- ; pared with that of the people of other - The farmers have an abundance of everything to eat and enough surplus lor sale to buy all they need to wear.

C Quoth the Winston Sentinel: - North Carolina will cut a compara tively small figure in shaping the cur rency legislation, of the nation, but only North Carolinians can give North Caro lina good local government. it us not forget these facts.- - This Is a truth which the Obskbvkb has at one time and another, sought. In its feeble way, to enforce, but with scant encouragement. It has been borne in oh us all the ".while that there is nothing of so much concern to North Carolinians as : good government in North Carolina, but it has been seen fit to thrust the currency question to the front in the State, to the distraction of the party and to the neglect of those : local issues which' are of the gravest moment to the people. Governor Morton, of New York, will be a factor in the' next national Repub lican convention which will have to be reckoned with. He has for some -time had his ear to the ground and last week the New York Republican State con vention gave its approbation to his presidential pretensions. Your Uncle Morton is well fixed as to money mat ters and is not slow about coughing up for campaign expenses. He is well stricken in years, a fact of which the friends of other candidates will make the most, but a bar'l covers a multitude of other drawbacks and Harrison, Reed, McKinley et al. will find the Governor of New York worth watching. This is the week for the silver-Smith convention, and the Chatham Record makes the point that it-has not the en dorsement of a single Democratic paper in the State. Entangling alliances are certain to be formed in it, and Raleigh is a good place for Democrats to steer clear of this week. GKAY ON PATRIOTISM. He A rguea That It la No Violation of Law to Show Sympathy for Patriots. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 21. There was no indication of a lessening of the interest in the trial of the alleged Cu ban filibusters when court opened this morning. District Attorney Vandergrift enumerated some points of law upon which he requested the court to charge the jury. He then addressed the jury briefly, reserving one hour of the two hours limit given to each side. His main point was the failure of the de fense to explain what the accused were doing when they started on their mys terious journey. Senator Gray followed with a number of citations of decisions in similar cases, all of which proved, he said, that the accused had violated no statute. He quoted from Marcy, Seward and Fish, former Secretaries of State, to prove the contention that it was no offense to show sympathy for the struggling Cubans, and he mentioned the patriotic outbursts of Henry Clay in Congress for the struggling South American re publics, and yet Clay violated no law. At times the Senator grew quite elo quent on the question of patriotism. Herbert H. Ward addressed the jury for the defense, considering the evi dence on its merits. Senator Gray then closed for the defense, his line or argu ment being that no case had been proven against any. one of the defend ants. He concluded at 1:10. District Attorney Vandergrift then began the closing argument to the jury. He made an admirable speech, and at 1:85 the court adjourned until Monday. THE FOOTBALL RULES.

Southern spot markets to-day are reported to be 1-16 toi higher, and Eastern spinners buy ing freely with indications of a con tinuance next week. They are evidently repeating their foresight of last autumn when they bought the 'Cheap coitou largely, whereas their English competi tors, unwilling to buy cotton when it was 5 cents a pound, waited until the market has re-acted an experience that is likely to occur again in the near future.

Quite a number of business men take issue with Gover nor Carr regarding the business outlook in North Carolina. They think he Is too blue" in : his views. He does riot regard the prospect as bright. Hisat tention was called to this matter, and then he wanted to know of a farmer is this State vha had been benefited by the recent boom in cotton. But there are "other crops than cotton and other Interests tban farming, and a nappy day will it be when manufacturing fairly divides the honors with agriculture in North Carolina. Your correspondent had Quite a lone talk with Mr. Ed Chambers Smith yes terday, and sent the chief points of it by wire. Mr. Smith is wrapped up in the convention. He said he thought your correspondent had interviewed some . "gold-bugs" regarding the convention, but was told that only silver men had been inter viewed. Mr. smith was informed tnat there were four classes of Democrats in this State to-day. These are the gold ones; those who are lor silver out win work for it only within the limits of their party; those who are for silver, party or no party, and those who are in different. Two classes of these think the silver convention a dangerous thine and say so. One class welcomes it and seems to be prepared to go any length for silver; the fourth class wants to see what will turn up. Mr. Smith inti mated that the "silver man" who was interviewed by your correspondent and who said that this convention was the prelude to the new sil ver party and that the "silver baby" was already born in North Carolina, was no friend to silver or to the conven tion. He was then informed that the crentleman who made the remark was not only one of the prime movers In the convention but loved it and silver as a mother loves her child." It is said that this silver party business sprang from the brain of one man, "full armed." It was suggested that it be therefore named the "Minerva" party, after the warrior-goddess who was born n similar fashion. Mr. Smith says the convention will probably meet at Metropolitan Hall, which he has engaged, at 11 o'clock on Wednesday, and that the cheap rate of cents a mile will have a tendency to bring a large number of people who by reason of poverty could not otherwise attend. He declares that the people who are advocates of silver are in the main poor and cannot attend unless they have railroad advantages. He says the convention will be "smooth." He says that the Republicans generally are us- ng their extremest endeavors to influ ence the members of tbeir party against committing themselves in any way to a principle which is antagonistic to their platform. One of tbe signers of the call when told that the Republican papers were warning their people to keep away from the convention, said he was not at all sorry. Treasurer worth s interest in the convention is of the livliest kind. He said to-day: "There wil be a large representation of Populists, I think, and a few Republicans. There will be a good many Democrats, fori think the latter are reallv with us for silver. I see one of the Republican editors does not want the Republicans to attend; but they will come, a dozen or so. Mott and two or three of these big ones joined in the call, didn't they?" Mr. J. U. Ij. Harris says the silver men are coming around to tils ltiea, namely to cut adrift from party until silver is restored. He is quite full of this subject. There are plenty of people here who say this convention is a daneerous thing; that they fear it is "loaded. Now these do not question the Democ racy of the gentlemen who caKed the convention. They only question their judgment and think they erred. They believe that there will be a resolution. in some shape, urgiDg silver men to vote for no one save an avowed sup porter of the free and unlimited coin age of silver. The supporters of the convention do not like the ew whi'jh is thus taken of it and declare, as Mr. Smith did yesterday, that there is "nothing in it." But the Democrats who have the be lief alluded to come backJto the attack and say, "How do you know you can control the convention? Mav there not be an element present which will fun away with you?" To this the pro- Moters reply that there may be some "wild men" present and of course no ane can predict what they will try to do, and that such wild men are in all con ventions. The anti-convention peop'e then express the devout hope that the number of these wild men may be small, but fear it will be large. Here is the whole situation. There was never such a. political situation, call it crisis, in North Carolina, lour correspondent has tried faithfully to get the views of prominent people, thinkers, on the question, and to pre sent them. In many oases names have not been given, but every interview was bona fide and faithfully reported to the letter. The public schools here opened yester day, under the new superintendent. Prof. Howell, with 795 whites and 829 colored pupils present; total 1,624. There are five schools, two whites and three colored. "North Carolina and the Seaboard Air Line have the only complete ex hibits at Atlanta, and they were entire ly ready on the opening day," said a Montana man to-day. This fact made quite an impression on him. "Fine ex hibits, they are, he added. Prof. tj. f. Moses, some years ago. wrote a school book. This was not used while he was superintendent, but has been published by Edwards & Brough- ton. Mr. Brouehton is a school commit teeman. The book was put on the list. The board has taken it off. It is the current opinion that no book in which any teacher or committeeman has an interest should be put on tbe list. 1 bis book was not pat on the list by Mr. Broughton, bat by two other members of the committee.

This notice, cir culated yesterday evening, shows that the convention is pre-arranged and the conference gagged. The notice is marked confidential. This is news even in Raleigh. The notice reads: "You are respectfully requested to attend a conference at my office at 8 p. m., for the purpose of considering mat ters that will come before the silver con vention on Wednesday next.

The Pearv re lief steamer, Kite, arrived here this af ternoon, bringing Peary, Lee and Hen- son safe home. The Peary expedition party endured much hardship last win ter, but, uudaunted, started northward again n April, in an attempt to make a new record. They succeeded in reaching Independence Bay, where they camped. They were unable to make any pronounced advance north ward, owing to the weakness of the party, both Lee and Henson being ex hausted. A number of the dogs died from a plague common amongst them. The work of the expedition is thought to be unimportant. The Kite reached Peary's headquarters August 3rd, and started to return on September 1st. They spent the intervening time ex ploring in the interest of the Green land scientific expedition. Messrs. Dibitsch, Salisbury, Dyche, Deboutil lier and Walsh, who were on board. surveyed many miles of unknown coasts. They also found two large me teorites, which they brought home, and another weigh ing forty tons, which it was impossible to bring away. They also fouud it impossible to bring home Peary's house. Many speoimens of deer, walrus and northern animals and birds, flowers and lichens, were secured but the captures were not as exten sive as had been expected, owing to the time for exploring being cut short in the hurry to return. The Kite visited Jones Sound. Cape Sabine and many ports south of Greenland. They had a pleasant and uneventful voyage. A Rig Street Railway Deal in Washington. . Washington. Sept. 21. A big street railroad deal was consummated in Washington to-day at a meeting of the stockholders of the Washington & Georgetown Railroad Company, one of the great street car lines. An agree ment was ratified for the consolidation of the road with a suburban electric road to Chevy Chnse, Md., under the control of the directors of the George town company. The capital stock was also increased from $500,000 to $12, 000,000, and the two consolidated com panies become the Capital Traction Company, of Washington. Under it$ charter the Washington & Georgetown Company was prohibited from increas ing its capital stock, but the Chevy Chase charter permitted it to increase its capital stock andehange i-s title.

BRIEFS OF GENERAL NATURE. The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows has adopted an amendment by which saloon-keepers, bar-tenders and professional gamblers are denied admis sion to the order. It is thought probable that Congress man Black, of the Augusta, Ga., dis trict, may lose his seat through having consented to run the race over with Tom Watson. The A. P.

Over 17,000 have died in Japan since tbe dis ease appeared. Russia is also infeicted, 2.134 persons having died of cholera in the Province of Yalbynia in a week's time. It is now almost settled that the Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage is to become the associate of Dr. Sunderland in the pastorate of the Eirst Presbyterian church, of Washington. The scheme is Dr. Sunderland's. Dr. Talmage leaves it to the church to fix his salary. The services of Dr. Adelos Allen, who is now Dr. Sunderland's assistant, will be retained. Dr. Talmage having ex pressly stipulated that his ' coming should not -occasion the ousting of any body. Conrad N. Jordan, assistant United States treasurer at New York, was in Washington yesterday in consultation with Treasury Department officials. His presence has given rise to all sorts of rumors in connection with a possible new bond issue or some arrangements for building up the Treasury gold re serve.

Minister Ran som was to-day allowed Xhe first instal ment of his saKry since his re-appointment. It was $325. The Auditor of the Treasury ruled contrary to what it was understood that he would, but on tha line of the view taken by his substi tute, Judge Willis, that General Ran som was barred out until confirmed by the Senate, but Secretary Carlisle, a much abler lawyer, overruled the Audi' tor, and the claim was paid. The well-known chief of the Wash ington syndicate of correspondence, just back ftom a tour of recreation and observing tljse Pacifio States, tells me: "Every tate west of the eastern bor der of Colorado I found silver to the core, both Republicans and Democrats. I asked whether Cleveland or Harrison. Reed or McKinley, Whitney or Hill would receive their support and I was everywhere informed that they would not; that these men were all opposed to free coinage. Then I inquired whom they would vote for and they replied every time, a silver man. I asked who was their choice. They said any good silver man. 'Suppose, said I, 'the Pop ulists have the only silver ticket in the field?' They declared they had enough out there of Populism in any shape. 'Then you will be obliged to make a sil ver party ticket or not vote at all?' They invariably answered, 'We will wait and see.' " This correspondent is a close observer and is himself against free silver. Cashier Nolen, of the House of Rep resentatives, has just returned from his State, Illinois. He says: "Beyond all doubt Illinois is for free coinage and the nomination of Morrison." He says further: "If the 8outh will stand up tb the West Morrison will be the nomi: nee." A prominent South Carolina resident here says to-day: "I was delighted at the news in the morning paper that New York will probably endorse Hill for President not that I like Hill, but that I want to see the Whitney pro gramme smashed at the start. We should compromise by the nomination of a man not distinctly connected with the silver movement, but who will be pledged to stand by the party if it adopts a silver programme." Thos. M. Robertson, of Randolph, who returns from his vacation to-day to the Internal Revenue Bureau, says he found Randolph county wild for free silver, and pleased at the excellent corn and cotton crops.
