The IeaIousies of Leaders.

There is trouble in the Republican
State Committee rooms which has not
yet reached the public ear. 1t is not

in the Republican ranks and repudia-
tion Of the ticket, but Jealousy be-
tween rival Stalwart leaders. John
7. Smythe is Chairman Of the State
Committee, and General George II.
Sharpe of the Executive Committee.
The Stalwarts have not entertained a
kindly feeling toward Sharpe since he
made an attack on Conkling last year.
Since then Conkling has not spoken to
SbarIe. He met him in the State
Committee rooms yesterday, but the
ex x-Senator took no notice Of Sharpe.

The Political Position Of spain.

The intimation that Marshal Ser
rano, in declaring for the Spanish
constitution in 1869, will take step
toward Republicanism is not warrant
ed by the facts. The constitution of
1859, proclaimed when Serrano was
regent, was no more popular with the
Republicans than is the constitution
Of 1876. In both the King declared
inviolable and the Ministry response.
BILE, and in both the government is
pledged to maintain the worship and
Ministers of the Roman Catholic re-
ligiOn. Serrano puts forward the con
stitution of 1869 probably because Of
its clearer definition of individual
right and liberty and its more liberal
provisions as to universal suffrage.
AT the time the cons tuition of 1869
was adopted Marshal Serrano Was
Prime Minister and regent. Sagasta,
the present Prime Minister, was Min
lister of the Interior, and NJ. Rui Zor-
lila, now a leading opponent of the
Ministry, was then Minister Of Jus
tice. Serrano's idea then was the es-
tablishment ofa constitutional govern
ment that would receive the support
Of both Republicans and Monarchists.
In due time this went down and Gas
telar and his republic came to the
front. This fell before the Carlist on
slaught, and Serr no again came into
power as the Ministry of the party
that finally made Alphonso XII,
King.
Sagasta was made Prime Minister
in 1881, he having led the dynastiC
Liberals in the struggle against the
Conservatives under Canovas. 1t has
been his policy to conciliate the Re
pubIic6ns, and he has succeeded to q
greater extent than any Of his prede-
cessors. Just what Serrano expects
to accomplish by dividing the Liberal
forces is not clear. That he will re.
oeive the support Of the Castelar, Re.
publicans is not probable, and the
Conservatives will give him oOunte.

Two Fighting Lions Scatter q
Crowd,
Charlotte Observer


While Barrett's circus train was
standing on the track at Charlotte, N.
c., waiting orders, quite an exciting
incident took place. Two lions began
to fight in their cage, which was on a
fat about the middle of the train. In
their struggles they upset the cage and
knocked out the wooden side, but the
heavy iron bars remained intact and
prevented them escaping The deep
roars aud fierce growls Of the mad
dened beasts were flightful to hear, and
the way the crowd turned tail and
fed up town was sight. The keeper
OF the lions had to subdue them by
throwing chunks Of FIRE at them.
While the fight was in progress, to
add TO the excitement, Sthe big ele.
phant Xerxes, became excited and
threatened to break from his car, but
he was finally quieted by his keeper
A large crowd had collected at the
depot to see the circus train, and when
the lions began to fight they scattered
like chaff before a tornado.

THE CASE MR.. LAIGH.

covered.

The mystery surrounding the kill
ing Of Macon Leigh, the merchant at
Charleston, Mississippi, on Thursday
night Of week before last, grows more
mysterious as time passes. The uD-
fortunate victim, Mr.. Leigh, lived
until Saturday evening, more than
forty eight hours after being shot,
aud during the time had not the
slightest suspicion that Vernon White.
the son of the Rev. Thos. Ward
White, committed the deed. At the
preliminary examination, now going
on at Charleston, it appears that
young White could not have had any.
thing to do with the tragedy. Three
attorneys were employed by the friends
Of Mr.. Leigh to prosecute his assas-
sin. A man named Davis, who was
arrested, has been honorably dismissed,
and after a weeks examination no
proof has been discovered to implicate
Mr.. Vernon White. On the contrary,
the attorneys express themselves salts
fed of the entire innocence of the
young man, and declined most posi-.
lively to prosecute him further. In
fact, they have rendered their gratui-
tous services in his defense. The
counsel for Mr.. White have sought to
place no obstacle in the way of full
investigation, as they feel assured of
the entire innocence of their client.
The death of Mr.. Leigh is universally
lamented and the friends of the de-
ceased are doing their utmost 10 ascer-
tain the cause of his taking off and the
party or parties who did it. Mr. Leigh
has relatives in this city.

A New Proof That the Earth is
Round.


A new proof of the globular form Of
the earth has been produced by two
scientists in Geneva, Messrs. Dufour
and Farrell. They have called atten-
tion TO the fact that the images OF
steamers and the surrounding noun.
tains, when reflected upon the surface
Of the immense lake, invariably ap-
peared in diminished size. Hence
they conclude that the surface of the
lake must be in convex shape, other
wise it could not produce the same
results as a Japanese diminishing
mirror or a convex lens. Of course
this observation is not confined to the
lake of Geneva, but must be true OF
all great water surfaces which are suf
6ciently still and placid to serve as
mirrors.

BALLAD OF A BRAVE cAT1Le.MAN.

Across the broad, brown Texan hills,
With blossoms to our bronchos' knees,
With singing birds by broken rills,
We rode through seas of drowsy bees.

To talk, to think, to be Of HER;
The other fourth he sleeps.
To learn what the mighty know of love,
laughed all constaucy to scorn.

Behold this day, all storm at morn,
Yet now tits changed to calm and sun.
Yea, all things chauge-the heart, the head.
Behold on earth there is not one

1t is probable that there will be serious

rights. The position OF the Tories and
Wings on this question is one that can not
be sustained. BGdlaugh mag BE- fiend,
but he is member Glect for northampton,
and the House has no morGrightto bar him
out because OF his speculative belief than il
has TO slam the door on country Squire,
who, contrary TO the teachings OF modern
humanitarians, shoots wOodcocksand hunts
foxes. Bradlaugh's followers have right on
their side, and they know how to
make the most Of that vantage
ground. The Tories are apparently
inclined to force contest with the radical
element. Lord Bcaconsiied would have
known better, but the Marquis Of Salisbury
has an idea that the England Of to-day is
the England Of last century, when the "old
nobility" were feared and the rule Of the
upper class regarded as indispensable to
the existence OF the country. This is a
tremendous mistake The Radicals are
wonderfully active and in n struggle with
what is lett OF the crown and aristocracv
would sweep all before them.
1t seems strange that the arislocracy in
Parliament should be willing to invite a
contest of this character. The fact is noto.
rious in English history that the aristoc.
racy always come out shorn Of some of
their exclusive privileges after one Of these
contests. The popular mind becomes cdu.
Gated to new demands. 1t is in this way
that the suffrage has been enlarged. Brad
laugh will probably in the end be admitted,
and then will be more OF power than
ever with tire English masses. .

The rate Of interest for money and the

by which it was enacted that III person

or other thing, interest at greater rate
than is allowed by law, he shall forfeit
double the value Of such money or other
thing, and tho intormer shall have one
