The Management of THAT Paper
Claims it to he Correct.

CLAIMS it to be Correct.
Special Cor. to The Daily Sentinel
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-It is gen.
orally believed here that Senator A.
p. German is the secosd strongest
Presidential possibility. Grover
Cleveland, who is easily first, may
fail through combinations, to be
nominated. In this event the Sena-
tor from Maryland will get much of
his strength in the Convention.
Col. L. L. Polk and his friends
have so far failed to have the au
thentic report of the interview in
the Star, which copied, contradict
ed by that paper. On the contrary,
it is claimed at the Star Office that
the interview is in every particular
absolutely correct. I believed the
interview was reliable when 1 used
it. gave the Star the credit of it
and endorsed it because it has a full
staff of paid reporters who have no
reason to fear or court the favor of
any man except the owners of the
Star. The paper is rich and indie
pendent. The President of the Star
Company, Mr.. Crosby Noyes, is an
amateur farmer, is very friendly to
the Alliance, but does not seem to
think it is the province of his paper
to boom Col. L L. Polk for the
Presidency.
A meeting was held at the Colum

which promices to result in the for
nation of a valuable organization
for the advancement of geological
work, and especially of official geo

As prominent among the impor-
tant objects of the association the
following may be cited:
l. The determination of the proper
objects of public geologic work.
2. The Improvement of methods.
3. The unlfication of methods.
4. The establishment of the proper

Almost a Tragedy in Raleigh.

Last Friday at noon, while Prof.
ployed in the North Carolina Expert
mental Station, was returning from
dinner, and when in front of the res
idence of Mrs. W. N. H. Smith, he
was shot in the forehead just between
the eyes. The gun was one known
as the air patent, and was shot by
Mr.. Bartell Wise, nephew of Mrs.
Smith, from within the lot. Forum
ately there was not force enough CIV

although Prof. Harris was badly
stunned and almost knocked down.
It was an accident altogether.--News

81 can tell all men plainly"
says President Polk, "that there
is a vast army of men in the
South ready for independent and
aggressive political action if it is
made necessary for them to or
ganize such u movement.
What can President Polk mean
by such an assertion? The peo-
pie of the South have not only
been ready for aggressive action
ever since the war, but they have
been aggressive in defending
themselves as well as they could
from their political enemies, and
it is just as necessary for them to
be united and aggressive as ever,
unless they are ready to yield
themselves up Internationally
to those who hate them. Twice
have efforts been made in the
past twenty-five years to bind
the South, hand and foot, by
means of Force bills; twice have
such bills passed the lower house
of Congress, and only been de-
featod in the Senate after hard
ard prolonged struggles, and the
enemies of the South are still
eargerly watching any oppor-
tunity to fasten the shackles
upon her and render her helpless
in their hands. What more than
the necessity ofsuccessfully resist
ing these Vaccinations of her re-
lentless foes can the South want
to make her united for the De-
mocracy, and why should there
ever be, while she is menaced by
Radicalism and negro rule, any
necessity for a vast army of
Southern men ready for ''aggres-
sive and independent" action?
President Polk is no doubt
wrong in his statement, and it is
not unlikely, from all accounts,
that ne would not object to see
ing and Independent and aggres-
sive third party in the Sonth, if
that party would support him
for President of the United
States. But the people Of the
South cannot afford to weaken
the hands of their friends and
strengthen those of their enemies
in the North in the interests of
Mr.. Polk or any other man. The
day they consent to do so they
will bitterly rue it, for they
would commit political suicide
And if they should ever be so
foolish, and found themselves
undergoing the horrors of recon-
struction days, with negroes
lording it over them at the points
of Federal bayonets, they would
not receive, as formerly, the
sympathies of the world, for this
time they themselves alone would
be responsible for their suffering
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
