The Kaiser Fears the Socialists.
Berlin Special.


The kaiser appears to be really getting
afraid of socialism, as be alludes to il
directly or indirectly on nearly every pub
lie occasion, and he is said to have ex-
pressed some app rehension, in an inter
view with the reigning prince of schaum-
berg-Lippe, as to the effect of the repeal of
the socialist law. 1t is also reported that
the emperor contemplates q convention of
the German sovereigns to consider what
action should be taken TO re-
press agitation aimed at the existing
order OF things. The legislation
against the socialists In the reichstaz is
almost hopeless, owing to the strength of
the party in that body, and it is believed
that the reigning houses of the variou.

The domestic hunted up an old-fashioned

IN the feeey folds OF some light fabric, was
suspended from the proper hook, and the

witnesses sverred that not only Morley but
also Others had built many barbed wire
fences in Delaware county prior to 1873.
Alvin MorIey's first panel of fence is not
vet entirely destroyed. A piece of 1t is
now in the supreme court archives at
Washington. have seen and handled
this bit OF steel, which hundred times its
weight in gold would not buy. Its history
was told in court by an elderly man named
Potter. He attended the Delhi fair and
was attracted By the novel exhibit. Nor
lev was so pleased with the visitors APP
probation that he cut of piece of the
wire and handed Ii to Potter. Potter re-
garded it as q curiosity and it hung on the
wall OF his kitchen for over year. Then
he threw il into an old trunk which was
used as receptacle for curios. Not until
this suit was instituted did he begin to
think the wire was worth more than its
weight as junk, and then it was offered TO
the plucky contestants. The wire Is only
about foot in length and contains two
barbs, each wound twice about the strand
wire with the sharp ends pointing in oppo-
site directions. 1t Is a better barbed wire
than that on which Glidden obtained his
patents. and yet cracked brain conceived
il and simple country blacksmith made
il.
As might be supposed, it was but weak
defense to such evidence. The testimony
in rebuttal was purely negative Several
men who had been present at the fair testi-
fed that they had not seen Morley's fence,
and country newspaper published at the
time at Delhi by Mr.. J. L. McCreery, now
a clerk in one of the departments at Wash
ington City. was introduced to show that
while the big pumpkins. fat hogs and steers
and the .'hoss trot" were mentioned, Alvin
Moriey's great idea was too small an idea
to the editor to be worthy of notice. Nc
Creery is pleasant-natured man, and was
always counted Q clever writer. Occa-
sionally he writes Washington City letter
for papers with which at various times he
has been connected. His old paper, the
Delhi Monitor, think it was called, is
either now out of existence or else making
avery feeble struggle for breath. wonder,
every time ! see its former publisher,
whether he regrets his failure to mention
this panel of fence. and / wonder further
If, in case he had mentioned 1t, that little
country paper would have caused q refusal
of letters patent to either Kelly or Glidden.
making it impossible for great monopoly
TO exact millions of dollars from the
farmers of the country.

ferer from this exhibit Another of the
two or three hundred witnesses who ap-
peared in the case was a 9-year- old at the
time of the fair. In the midst OF his boy
ish play he was thrown violently by one of
his companions against the fence, and the
oarbs cut deep into his face. The scars he
bears to this day, and those same scars
were used TO confound the great monop-
olists.
Morley had no intricate machinery with
which TO manufacture his fence. His only
tools were forged by a blacksmith, who
gave perhaps the most valuable testimony
III the case. He declared that he had
helped Morley put the barhs on the panel
of fence that was placed on exhibition, He
described as we'll as be could the simple
tools which he had made Tor Morley. bu,
he vas not satisfied with his explanation.
and went TO q neighboring blacksmith
shop and duplicated the machine he hal
made thirty years before. The machine,
comprised two pieces of three-eighths inch
steel about eight inches long In one END
of each he forged a shoulder with an arm
half an inch long. and in the arm was q hole
big enough TO take IN q one-eighth inch
wire. In open court he showed practically
how Morley made his fence The two bars
were used as levers with the shoulders rest
ing on the strand wire. 4 short piece OF
wire. cut oblionely at both ends TO make
sharp points and held oy the holes in the
arms OF the bars, was easily twisted once
or twice about the fence wire. This was
identicaily the novelty claimed bv Glidden
for his patent The workmanship was
somewhat rude, but the idea was there. and
from that day TO this there has been no i'm
provement except making the strand wire
double and twisting il TO hold the barbs
more securely. This blacksmith testified

Stanford and Huntington.
San Francisco Chronicle.

A writer in the November Contemporary
Review speaking about American railway
freeDooters says. Again the Pacific
clique. headed by C. 2. Huntington, ETC..
paid regular 6 per cent. dividends upon
Central Pacific shares so long as they were
being absorbed by British investors. but
when the process was completed the COM
pany was practically wrecked in
order 70 build up competing
line--the Southern Pacific.1 The
indictment is correctly framed,
but it is hard lines to arraign Huntington
only, and exclude Turveydrop Stanford
from censure. The business alluded to
was deliberate robbery, to which STAN
ford was as much party as Huntington,
and ii is not fitting that the latter should
have the whole blame showed upon him.
IL has been the habit in this state to excuse
stanford. Indeed, one of the factotums
in a recent interview at the East
boldly stated that no matter how
severe the condemnation of the policy
of the Central Pacific, stanford had
always been exempted from harsh criti-
cism. OF course this is not true. No per-
son acquainted with railroad affairs would
for one moment dream of asserting that
stanford is not as much responsible for
every piece OF rascalty committed by the
corporati~n and its ramltlcations as his
partners. the only reasonable excuse
which could be made for him would be to
say he is and has been an idiot, and this
his admirers will not admit. They rather
perfer TO assert that he is q remarks able
genius. and that 10 him ali OF the fortunes
oil the corporation are due. This being the
case, he would stand and fall with the rest.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Re

the railroads of that State. 4 fur

freight a day in the way of ore, coke,
limestone and the iron that it makes
out of these materials. Taking 300
days year as the average time in
blast, though furnaces do not shut
down for Sundays, the total freight
created by this one furnace will be
100000 tons year. That means
10000 car loads Of freight, averag-
ing 40, 900 pounds to the car. The
entire cotton crop of North Carolina
is only about 100000 to 10000
tons in weight, so that this one

A Very Great Compliment to Prof. Blair

who has an enviable record as a
scholar and teacher has lately been
honorei by the National University
of Chicago by an election as Associ-
ate Professor of Pedagogy. Prof.
Plair will inaugurate the famous En-
glish University Extension system in
the South, having charge of the
Institute of Pedagogy and perhaps
of the Institute for Bible study.
Prof Blair will conduct his Insti-
tute by correspondence. He is one
of many distinguished educators who
compose the faculty of this great
University, which gives instruction
to thousands of students all over
the United States.
Nothing better illustrates the prog
ressive spirit of the South than the
ready instruction of the best modern
educational methods, and we believe
our teachers will heartily second
Prof. Blair's efforts in their behalf

says: PASSIONS Slave"is success.
Not only does it delight that part of
an audience, which is only to be

and vice, made to laugh by the sim
plest fun and astonished by the
trickiest scenery. 1t has strong
and probable story of a man whose
passionate impulses lead him into
unprecedented crimes of Jealous
rage, and whose sufferings,. bravery
and repentance win the sympathy of
the audience. The language is feel
ing. the scenes have stirring climaxes,
without any forced or meaningless
commotion, and the level Of easy
comprehension is descended to with
out sacrificing all literary merit.
