SenatorStewart. ofNevada, has
poured another broad-side into
Senator Sherman, whom hi ac.
cuses of being the father of the
republican financial policy. This
is a Very grave accusation, but
the farmers of Ohio seem to have
a similar idea or they would not
have started out SO determinedly
after Sherman's 8 Senatorial scalp
If Mr.. Steward keeps up his at.
tacks upon Sherman and the re.
publican party he will be doing
the country a service, but he will
wake up some morning to find
himself read out of the party
The leaders OF that party would
have kicked Steward out long q
go if his vote wasn't SO badly
needed in the Senate. There are
good reasons for believing that
Mr.. Steward will be Ane Of the re
publican Senators who viii vote
for the repeal Of some Of thelnost
obnoxious features of the McKin
ley tariff law next winter. N

rHF WEATHER.

We are IN receipt of the an
nual rhetorical leport OF the
Agricultural ExperimentSta-
ton for the year 1890, from
which we CLEAN the following
information about North
Carolina weather:
There were twenty-three dis
play stations to which fore
cast OF the weather for the
next "a hours were telegraph
ed to the central station at
Raleigh. The advantages Of
these forecasts to the farm
ers, on many orcasions are
very profitable in many in
stances. Such as foretelling
frost, storms, etc. This work,
SO far, has been done voIun-
tarialy. Five hundred copies
of the weekly crop Bulletin,
giving condition of the grow
ing crops from one hundred
correspondents were mailed
out. Meteorological data was
gathered from forty-six sta
tions. These stations are fur
nished with Instruments. to
denote the baromic pressure,
temperature. rain fall. humid
ity, direction of the wind,
state of the weather and 9TH
er phenomena. The person
in charge S3of t h e station
makes a monthly report to
the central office at Raleigh
which sends out d monthly
bulletin. The mean pressure
for 1890 30-11 inches, mean
temperature, 60-7 degrees,
mean humidity, 75-1 percent,
monthly mean rain fall 3-37
inches, average number of
cloudless days 135. Prevail
ing winds southwest aver
age We ] oc ty seventy-four
miles per hour. Since 1926
there have been IS tornadoes
in North Carolina. This re-
port closes with short trea-
tises on formation and class
ification of clouds, end ori-
Gin olcold waves. Both these
treatises are very interesting.
The study Of the weather
scientifically is of recent ori.
gin, but from the appearance
of the clouds and sky it is
very old. Did not the Master
tell the Pharisees and Sa6u-
Gees: when it is ievening ye
say: it will be fair weather,
for the heaven is red, and in
the morning, it will be foul
weather to day: for the heav-
EMS are red and lowering.

Notes About Town.

Mr.. Editor-T h ere are

OF Boone could do that would
make the town more pleas

this matter, except call at

the windows knocked out, the
desks are being torn up and
the building going to wreck.

will pay attention to the bull

future.

dried it was very difficult to
detect the fraud.
If it was better known a.
broad that Boone could en-
tertain summer visitors, the
town would be full every sum-
mer. Besides the hotels there
are private houses thatcould
take boarders and realize d
nice little sum of money each
season. Won't our people
think about this?
Next week is the time for the
Teachers Institute. Many Of
the teachers of Watauga will
attend. We should try to
make the teachers enjoy them
selves as much us possible. A
word OF kindness, some slight
favor granted, would cost us
nothing, and make them feel
more comfortable. 1t is The
little courtesies that make
country people think well Of

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent

The Blaine lions and the
Harrison lambs are to hence
forth form a united ifnot hap
py ia amily, that is, if the in
structions of Shepherd Har-
rison are followed by his
flock. The Blaine crowd grew
so restive under the many re-
cent Misrepresentation OF
their idols mental and phys
al condition that they be-
came suspicious that some
OF the Harrison crowd was
responsible for some oSthem,
a n d a little investigation
proved that their suspicious
were only too well founded.
Then there was a roar which
was heard both at Bar Har-
Dor and Cape May Point,
and Mr.. Harrison straight
way sent for Dan Ransholl,
his Marshall Of the District
of Columbia, and confidential
personal friend, and through
him the word was passed to
the Harrison lambs t h a t
there must be no more false
bleating, and so the matter
stands just now, but the
Blaine lioEs have their blood
up and it need excite no sur
prise at any time should they
make q murderous onslaught t
upon the Harrison lambs
and destroy the entire flock.
They would gladly do it if
Keeper Blaine would but say
the word.
Indian Commissioners Nor
gan, who has ever since he
has been in office made a fight
against the Roman Catholics
engaged In educating the In,
dians, has now decided that
no more contracts shall be
made with the Bureau OF
Catholic Missionsfor conduct
ing Indian schools. For years
all contracts for Catholic
Schools on the Indian reser
vations have been made with
this bureau of Missions, the
headquarters of which are in
this city. and this entire Sc
verance ofrelations is regard
ed as the direct result OF re-
fligious bigotry and prejudice,
the possession of which show
that Mr.. Morgan is entirely
unified for the responsible
position h e holds. What
makes the thing so very un-
fnir is that contracts are he
ing made, as usual, with 9th
er denominations for the con-
duct of Indian Schools. tits
not for a moment to be sup
posed that Mr.. Morgan made
such an important decision
without the consent and sup
port of Secretary Noble and
Mr.. Harrison, who are the
proper parties to hold respon-
sible TO this most remarka-
BILE case OF religious proscrip-
ton.

Pennsylvania, to whom more
than any other one man is

pie as they we're never arous-
ed before against the meth
ods originatedby Quay when
he was Treasurer of the State,
and besides this, the new bal

10000 votes to the demo-

In spite OF republican at

suppose that they were in any
sense rivals. Mr.. Mills is also

November upon another banker of the
same city. The old story was again
modified, the names were changed and
the place of writing was Valencia in
stead of Balboa, but the handwriting
was the same AS in the first case. The
documents consisted of forged eXem-

HYPNoTIsM BY swINDLERs.
How Farmer Cosier Was Induced
to SIGN "A Note

to Sign Note.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 29.-Ohio
farmers have become so expert of late
in resisting the Establishments of gem
tlemanly lightning rod sWindlers, hohe-
mian oats men, red line wheat fakprs.
Bible canvasSer5, self-running plow
agents and the rest, that these gentry
have called TO their aid new and dan
geronS weapon to work on the unSuS-
pecting granger. Hypnotism is the
latest device if the statement of
Samuel Cosier. an old farmer of
Beaver Creek township. Greene coun-
ty, can be believed. Mr.. COSier arrived
in Xenia. eighteen miles from this city,
early this morning, looking for gang
OF lightning rod SwindleTS who came to
see him yesterday. Mr.. Cosier says that
they Induced him TO sign a paper of
which he did not even know the con-
tents. He is now satisfied however that
it was note for several hundred dol
lars. He claims that he was induced to
sign the note while under SOME strange
mesmeric or hypnotic influence, and
declares that he will make this defeuse
against the payment of the note,
If it turns up for collection in
any ones hands. C0sier says
the men came to his place and colIl-
menced TO talk with him about having
lightning rods put on his house and
barns. The men talked good while,
and soon strange feeling came over
him. He was awake and conscious. but
seemed as one dreaming. He appeared
to have lost all will of his own. The
sharpers then brought out a paper
which they directed him to sign. He
felt that he ought not to do it. but could
not resist the hypnotic suggestion"
even know the contents of what he was
signing. The men left soon afterward,
and shortly after they were gone MIR.
Coster experienced sensation such as
one feels after his foot awakens after
being asleep" He took the first OPP
pOrtunity to come to town and warn
people against taking any note signed
by him.
