CHARLOTTE, n. c., July o.
To an observant person it is quite
clear that even with the reconcilia-
tion scene in the Greensboro court
house the end of the Fife-Schenck
affair is not yet.
Maybe Judge Schenc-- and Mr..
Fife love each other, but we don't
see it They are at peace, though
no one doubts that yet the. busy
bodies appear to be determined not
to let them remain so. For in
stance, the anonymous newspaper
correspondent is sending out re-
ports about Judge Schenck and the
the church, calculated to nettle
not only Judge Schenck but his
friends, for they are human. It
is being published that the Pres
| byterian Church at Greensboro is
aboat to be split up because Judge
| Schenck has not resigned or been
expelled.
Judge Schenck has been in Char
lotte since yesterday on important
railroad business. A Chronicle
reporter met him at the Central
| Hotel to-day and asked him about
the item copied in Charlotte pa
per this morning from the Richmond
Times, which stated that ssa num-
Der of people are threatening to
withdraw from the Presbyterian
church unless he withdraws or is
expelled"
The Judge smiled at this piece OF
sensational news and said that if it
were so he had never heard of it,

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Major H.
II. Dudley, of Nashville, Tenn, is
il the city from the scene of trouble
between the miners and militia at
Coal Creek. Maj. Dudley regards
the situation as very serious and
fears that blood will be shed before
i; is over. The miners, he says,
are resolute and determined men
and well armed with shot guns
and revolvers. The militia sent
out to guard the convicts were
at great disadvantage, he said.
They numbered only some one hun
dred men, and tn, petition they oc-
cupied was in a valley where the
stockade for the convicts was erected
and they were exposed to the miners
on the hills from all sides. Had they
fred into the miners there is no
doubt that they would have been
slaughtered. Under the circumstan-
ces he thinks they acted wisely in
gracefully retiring and going of
without the .onvicts. Gov. Buchan-
an is telegraphing all over the State
for the militia to be pushed forward
and is determined to enforce the
law and protect the contractors in
their right to work the convicts il

of the neWness and sometimes lack of

ceedingly well. In many lines her work
shows greater fidelity and higher tact

Students Scored bx Prexr.

There was the largest attendance at
chapel at the university yesterday
morning that there has been this year.
The professors. too. seemed to think
there was something in the air, for the
Semlcircle OF chairs on the platform was
completely filled. There was consider
able merriment over the unusual gath
ering, and the chief topic of cOnversa-
ton was: what will President Nor
throp say about the scrap Saturday
night?'
After the usual exercises the presi-
dent began to speak. He was very glad
to see so many students present, and
hoped that he would see them again.
He supposed they were present to hear
him say something about the Saturday
night row. He would not diSapDOlnt
them. No investigation had as yet
been made by the faculty into the af-
fair, but there would be this week, and
those who were implicated were likely
to suffer. He urged the wrong-doers to
confess their fault and pay for the dam
ages. They would have to do this any
way, and they had better do it OF their
own accord. He called attention to the
fact that, while neighboring institutions
had had quarrelS and rows among the
students, this Saturday night affair was
one of the first of its kind at the uni
verSity. He very emphatically stated
that IL should not happen again.

1t is, moreover, a cruel thing to be con-

elected.-New York Press.

providing for the transfer of the remains

non to a monument in the Capital City?
New York Recorder.
1t is certainly most appropriate that
the great herO's bones should rest at

ON OPTION SELLING.
Q. A. Pillsbury Talks One Way and

z. A. Pillsbury Talks One Way and
the Elevator Men Another.
The introduction of an anticipation
bill in congress by Senator Washburn
made the grain men talk a good deal
around the chamber of commerce yes
terday. There was, of course, a division
of opinion. Some of them call it a good
thing while others believe that it will.

the farmers of the Northwest and the
grain trade generally up here. c. a.
Plllsbury has long been known as a
strenuous opponent of the option bust
ness. Ills opinions Oh that subject nat
urally make him friend of the bill.
He says that he does not know exactly
what the provisions of the bill are, but
he thinks they are about the same as
those OF the ButterwOrth bill that was
shelyed by the last congress. He says
further:
Il am firm believer that, if short
selling OF the grain products of this
country by parties who do not own or
expect to own bushel can be stopped,
1t would result in material improve
ment in prices. specially in q wear like
this, when the foreign demand is bound
to be as large or larger than the surplus

there was IN sight, there would be pur-
cnaSerS enough to make material adj

atorS and spectators like Partridge and

board and other boards of trade have
cost this country millions of dollars,

confined to parties who actually own
the wheat, it would result largely in
much better prices. | think the only
cure for this question will be by ma
tional legislation"
There seems to be another side to the
question. Most of the elevator men
think that short selling is good thing
for them and for the farmers. A. q.
Chambers, of the North Dakota Eleva-
tor company, explains bow option sell
Ing Is OF benefit TO them. in this way:
1--WE buy daily on our line of elevators
thousands of bushels of grain. The
business is done now OH what is called
tOur-cent margin. That is we pay the
farmer within four cents of the price
paid in Minneapolis for his grain minus
the cost of transportation. That barely
pays the expense of running a line. So
we cannot afford to hold it and run the
risk of having the market go down. So
instruct our brokers to sell in Mlnneap-
oils, Chicago or New York, whatever
point we regard as to the best market,

tees us against loss if the market goes
down. Then when the wheat gets to
Minneapolis we usually buy back the

TIM BYRNES.

The most noticeable local news item
of this morning is the announcement of
TIM BYRNEs' indictment for forgery.
This has been predicted and contra
dlcted a score of times during the past
few weeks, bat comes. in spite of this
preparatory discussion, with all the
force of great surprise. There are
many paraSangS between an indictment
and a conviction, and it is very likely
that, before this episode has been played
out to the end, secret and abhOrrent
forces may be shown to be accountable
for the genial politicians present dis
c0mfiture. When North Dakota YVES
a less highly civilized community than
it is in these modern days, there used
to prevail two common methods of
wreaking vengeance on people who for
any reason made themselves obnoxious
to the dominant faction. The favorite
one was to have them indicted for some
pretended crime. This, if it accomplished
nothing else, discredited them among
their fellows and untitled them
for aggressive work, at least for sea-
son. If it did not prove effective
enough, however, a bully would be
hired to pick quarrel with them and
thrash them. Maybe TIM BYRNEs has
some enemies among a faction in Min
neapolis who resent his prominence in
affairs, and have tried the courts in the
hope Of disarming him in his ambitions.
This will appear later on. if his acquit-
tai is followed by an assault on his
cOmely person. Should it turn out
otherwise, and he should really be
found guilty of the serious offense with
which he is charged, it will be con-
elusive evidence that politics is not
paying business. TIM BYRNEs would
never utter forged paper unless his nee
eSslties have driven him to it: and if
there is not enough in officeholding to
save one like him, who has had the most
Intimate access to the loaves and fishes,
what does it promise to the ordinary
run of heelers? Aspiring young men,

ought to ponder over the story of his
life and take warming.

THE GRIP.

A feeling of relief was spread abroad
over this community yesterday when
the clouds broke away and the the1-
mometer began to fall. Warm rains,
mild breeZes and the disappearance of
frost from the ground were phenomena
not, to be sure, wit hOut their consola-
tons in December, bnt at the same time
unpleasantly suggestive of disease.
The news from Europe is that now for
the third season that extraordinary cpl
demic which. for want of better name,
has been called the grip, has reappeared
with Unprecedented violence, and car
ried suffering and death in its wake.
Its return is announced also in the East,
as well as in many sections only few
hundred miles from us. Weather of the
sort we have been experiencing is ad-
mirably adapted for its termination
here, and we should enjoy little snow
and ice If they promise a barrier to its
entrance among us.
The prevalence of this disease forms
a very extraordinary chapter in con-
temporary history and suggests how ell
tirely empirical the science of medicine
Still is. No reasonable explanation has
been advanced for its origin, no pre-
ventiye discovered and no remedy of
especial virtue produced. A recent in
sestigator has suggested that vaccina-
ton will secure immunity, but this is
only chance inference from what has
been noticed III a number of cases.
Meanwhile the epidemic RACES, and one
victim finds his constitution shattered
by his wrestle with it. while another
counts it no more Objectionable than an
ordinary cold. Exposure in one instance
is followed by no evil effects, while the
utmost caution does not avail to save in
another. When it once gets a foothold
in community, no one can feel sure
that he will be able to stand before it.
We in the Northwest have no ground
of reliance except in our climate. 1t
our Old-fashioned winters return, the
grip Will have no more chance of sur
vival than would man without an
OYercOat
