RARE CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman VIM. l.. Wilson, of
w. Va, has been rendered the Presi-
dency of the University of Missouri,
but has not yet given his assent. -
{ sMr. Wilson is a shining example of
the union of scholarly tastes with prac-
teal craftsmanship. He brings to
bear upon political questions an intel
lect sharpened by contact with the
great world-thinkers, accompanied
by the lofty ideals of the scholar. 1t
is needless to say that such man is
no time server, no ward politician.
He does not believe with Senator In
gals that the publication of politics
is can iridescent dream" He has
that lofty sense of duty and public res
possibility that has distinguished
many Southern, Statesmen from the
DAYS of Jefferson to the present time.
He regards craftsmanship as pro-
fession with high ends in view, and
not as job out of which he can put
money into his own pocket. He be-
longs to that class of men typified in
Sam Randall, John G. Carlisle and
John Randolph Tucker.
Mr.. Wilson is comparatively a
young man. He is now wearing his
early spurs. is to be hoped for the
good of democracy and for the good of
exalted craftsmanship that Mr. Will
son will not be wooed from public
life. He wsuld in all probability
adorn the presidents chair in any
state university-a place which
aIarmingly few men can adorn-but
the House can i'll afford to lose one of
itscl ear est thinkers, brightest wits, and
ablest publicists.

THE DAWN OLA BETTER DAY,

1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
silver bill which passed the Senate.
and came so near passing the House,
will be again reported to the House
very soon. If it should be again re-
ported to the House and passed, Mr..
Harrison will be in dilemma. If he
signs it, the monopolists who furnish
ed the fat by which Mr.. Harrison was
elected will close their purses when
MIR. Harrison S friends call in 1892.
If he does sign it, it will be well for
the people. They will get free coin
age of silver. Money will be more
plentiful. Debtors can more easily
discharge their obligations. The mon
ey-lender will have to be content with
a lower rate of interest.
If Mr.. Harrison, on the other hand.
should veto it, both he and Speaker
Reed will incur the wrath of all the
Western Senators and representatives
that so urgently are clamoring for free
coinage of silver. The Western men
are hand in hand with the Southern
men on this question, irrespective of
party, and the good feeling thus be-
gotten of a unity of sentiment on an
industrial question will probably de-
feat the federal election bill, which
threatens to give SO much trouble to
the South
Altogether, the situation is more
hopeful Free coinage of silver must
come. The people are forgetting par
tisan politics in their demand for it.
Ii 1t does not come now, the day IS
not far distant when it will come. And
the Lodge election bill stands slim
chance of passing. The sentiment
that the South ought to be let alone
and ought to be allowed to work out
her own political salvation is gaining
ground at the North every hour. Too
much Northern capital is invested in
the! South for this to be otherwise
The good, hard sense of the North is
prevailing. Harrison, Ingalls, and
Reed will soon have no occupation.
The dawn of q better day is in sight.

President McDairmid Off on a Lark
[ Editorial Cor. Raleigh Chroaicle. ]

Editorial Cor. Raleigh Chroaicle.l
President McDairmid, of the Lum
bert,n Robesonian, joined me at
Greensboro. He is as large aGd hand
somo and genial as ever, and his mer-
ry and nirtH provoking laughter is
joyful. He says that he is going to
attend the convention. OF course he
will do that, but it is my honest con-
viction Gf you won't tell him) that his
chief business in Boston is to get the
$500 which the Mayor of Boston said
seven years ago he would give to hear
him laugh again. Col. Polk said that
the Mayor Of Boston made the offer in
good faith.
This morning l said to Bro. Nc:
"Where shall we -stop?" He declared
against any European plan, and sup
ported his position by this scriptural
quotation: 'Put knife to your throat
if you be man given to appetite. !"
He says that if he had to pay for each
dish on the European plan, it would
cost him SO day at least for his
board.

Baseball in Water.

Mr.. H. w. Aver, writing from the
Teachers Assembly at Morehead City
to the Raleigh Chronicle has this to
say of game of baseball:
"A big novelty is proposed for this
week. The assembly has fine base
ball team, and it has been suggested
that the club pay game of ball in the
sound. The plan is for the club to
dress in bathing suits. lay off dia-
mond in the sound by means of bouys
and play the game in the water. The
suggestion seems to be taking, and this
novel game will probably be played"

RATTLESNAKE ISLAND AGAIN
Judge Brunson Explains the Latest
Railroad Move.

The commencement of a condemna-
ton suit against the owners of Rattle
snake island, at San Pedro, on the part
OF the Long Beach and San Pedro rail-
road company, has caused considerable
comment, particularly as Judge Anson
Brunson, the Santa Fe roads attorney
brought the suit.
The Judge yesterday in answer to a
HERALD reporters inquiry, said: II
simply act for Mr.. James Campbell
The Santa Fe company is in no way in
terested. Mr.. Campbell organized the
Long Beach and San Pedro railroad,
and some time ago he COM
piled with all the requirements of the
law, located his line, filed his maps, and
now, within the proper time, has
brought his condemnation suit. He
was forced to let the matter lie quiet on
account of not having sufficient funds
with which to build the line, but he now
states that he is ready to go ahead, and
instructed me to bring the suit. He
says he will build the road, and | have
no reason to doubt his statement. The
Los Angeles and Utah railroad was
brought into the case as defendants, be-
cause at one time they possessed a
franchise, but now l understand that
has expired, so the only defendants will
be the owners of the island"

WATER? OR WHAT?
Mr.. Steward Shows Some Squirmers
on Spring Street.

on Spring Street.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Steward the
dry goods man appeared on the corner Of
Spring and First streets bearing in his
hand pint bottle full OF water-that is,
all the space not occupied by the ami
NAL life and the decaying organic matter
was occupied by aqua pura. The sight
of that bottle made every old soak on
preaching he had 'em again.
The way the live stock did cavort in
that water was caution. 1t made one
think of S. T. Co!eridge's lines about the
fish in the sea that:
Turned and shot,
And every streak was Il line of golden fire.
Only they were not like golden fire, or
anything that is bright. They were
dark and dull. There was a leech six
inches long, a snail as big as a
small nut, and no end of filth such as
usually ornaments a farm yard. One
would say the stuff came from a frog
pond, horse pond, goose pond, or
similar place. Mr.. Steward made
Prohibitionists in the street turn
pale and gag as he told them
that water with all its adornments
came out OF hydrant in his front yard
out in the hills, and that they were
drinking and making tea of that sort Of
liquid. The healthy minded people
looked at the stuff and sent to heaven a
Thanksgiving that they did not drink
water, winked at each other and went
away and got a drink of some sort of
properly prepared and wholesomely
clean beverage.

Shall it Be War?

EDITORS HERALD-Immediate after
the nomination of E. B. Pond by the
Democratic convention at San Jose, the
Republican press of the state launched
its apparently hearty congratulations to
the electors of the state, announcing
that, by reason of the high character OF
the Democratic and Republican NOM
inees for governor, this would be can
vass III which no aspersions or recrim-
nations would or could be resorted to
by either party. We had only a few
days rest, however. After looking over
the field, it was doubtless thought
highly probable by some of the feeble
penmen of the opposition that the
s'Markham rose" had already begun to
droop and wither, or at least needed a
little watering to preserve its leaves and
perfume, while its early companions
were about ''faded and gone" Well
knowing that time and autumn blasts
will SCATTER even rose-leayes, we now
hear from them the old familiar cry Of
"Wolf, wolf. wolf," and the raw shoul-
ders of Buckley are thrust between
Pond and these ''clean-canvass" "pencil-
shovers.'' If there is to be such a
canvass as they at first announced, we'll
and good, if not, let them at least be
candid and manly about it and own up
and call spade spade II there is to
be war, then let them declare 1T. We
do not fear such a war.
What does the Republican press
mean by screaming that Pond traded
with Buckley and secured his nom ina
tion by trick or sale OF his integrity
