then Mrs. Besant becomes nothing bat
naturally gifted woman with "a bee in her
bonnet"
Faith in the results Of experiments in
the chemists laboratory do not rest upon
assertion; the asserted results are capable
of verifcation, and they DO not become
part of the body of our accepted chemical
knowledge until they have been repeat
eddy verified. And yet Mrs. Besant seri-
ously expects the sane and intelligent part
of the world to accept her faith in the
astral body because she had seen it sep
arated from the human body: that Prof.
Crookes, his private secretary and an
"honest medium" had obtained photo
graph of the astral or second body OF tho
SOUL Of course this sort of stuff is not ev-
idence or proof. either scientific or judi
cial, of the existence of an astral body. It
is not on such "evidence" that the body of
human knowledge is built up.
Of the honesty Of Mrs. Besant or Prof
William Crookes there is no doubt but
neither the faith of these persons. nor the
~yes and senses OF these respectable persons
are sufficient to establish the astral
body as scientific fact against the eyes,
senses and Investigations OF thousands of
persons just rs competent and trustworthy
witnesses as Mrs. Besant and her friend
Crookes. Delusion and the credulity,
which makes the wish father to the
thought, explains great deal of so-cailed
mystery in this world. If Napoleon, or
Goethe, or Bismarck, or Gladstone claimed
to have seen an apparition at time when
500 sane. intelligent men present could see
nothing whatever. what conclusion should
We reach? We should believe that the
single man who saw and heard what no
man Of the 500 could see and hear was the
victim of a delusion consequent upon
disordered nervous system.
Everybody knows more than any body.
and upon question which involves the
material senses OF sight and hearing it is
safe to say that the astral body will
never be accepted as part of the body of
our scientific knowledge upon any such
evidence as ''the convictions" or the ex-
perience of Prof. Crookes in Esprit

not impeach her integrity, nor deny her
rank as a gifted woman any more than
we deny the genius of Swedenborg for
mechanics despite his speculative belief in
a spirit world and his mysticism that
reached to the bounds of insanity.
Delusion claimed Swedenborg for its
own; delusion claimed Luther, Joan of
Arc and many other famous enthusiasts at
times for its own; and delusion is the

Guartered in hollow OF bi., hemlock. about
forty feet from the ground Ewo well directed
shots from rifle had the effect of prolonging

to remove the bear from his perch. This end
could only be accomplished by chopping the
six-foot hemlock TO the earth. The prize proved
worth the effort, rs bruins csgcass yielded ten
gallons OF oil, a beautiful, glossy pelt, which
measured five feet square when stretched, and

beaten and we are not sore. John H. McGraw

past, and he Will no doubt mage quite a respec-

didn't lean toward him. We made our gamble
and lost-it came blue Instead OF red. But we
are not sulky, and We sincerely hope that Gov
ernor McGraw will surprise even those of Us
who have p.ophesied worst abaut him.

ton and show that we would DO honor to the
governor of Washington by taxing part in his
inauguration, and do it in hanasome style.

III NEW WAY.

IN these days of spoils and spoil-hunters
the way of choosing a candidate for presi-
dent is different than in the old days.
The newspapers are the moulders of opin-
ion, and some days their opinions become
very mouldy. Take the present campaign
in it's early stages-and the spectacle
has been truly sublime.
For instance, the BLAINE organs
pounded the stufIin' u Of HARRISON.
They characterized the Hoosier as little,
essentially weak, cheap as a politician
and a man with no backbone. They said
mean things about him, criticised his adj
ministration and claimed that all that de-
served credit in what had been done in
his name was the work Of other men.
They rave BLAINE the highest endorse
ment. He was a statesman. a scholar, a
historian, a journalist, and the widest and
broadest man within the confines Of the
universe. The HARRISON fellows claimed
that BLAINE was a back number, that he
was demented and that he could mo- carry
his own state or any other state. The
feeling was bitter throughout. At Min
~ncapolis the two factions actually en-
gagged in brutal rows. They were insult.
ing and bad blood was always manifest.
But now that the convention is over all
the fellows are shouting for his Haticy,
the newspapers which abused HARRISON
are in line declaring that GOD had never
made his like-that he is a statesman
the embodiment of all the virtues in the
catalogue.
The CLEVELAND men have abused HILL
with equal vigor, and the HILL men have
abused CLEVELAND to a degree which
reaches brutality. The most vindictive
and malignant of all the abusers have
been papers like the New York Sun. But
now within a few days all this business
will cease and the papers-mind you
which were moulding opinion in another
mould, or trying to, will fall in line and
give the lie to all they have said for
months past.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

The farmers who are bowling for relief
from the government have it within their
own hands to secure relief from the state
if they would but act. They are blind,
however, to their own opportunities.
They want fifty dollars per capita. They
think that the government should keep
fifty dollars for each one of them and
that it should always be due on demand.
But the wildcat scheme will not work
long.
But suppose the case: Suppose the
farmers would this very precious minute
go to work for a purpose. Suppose they
would say to themselves, let us commence
at home. Let us scissor off this miser-
able extravaganza in u state and in our
counties. What extravaganza in the
counties? they will ask. And then go
to the bridge fund and the road fund and
let them look and see how many thou
sands of dollars they have squandered
within a few years for bridges which
have long been gone and for roads which
have long ago worn out.
Let them increase their burden of tax
ation-but let the money represent some
thing. Let iron bridges be placed where
wooden and worthless Ones now are.
Let roads be builded solid and with stone
instead Of using matches TO cover a
swamp. This would be econOmy-it
would mean that soon taxation could be
lessened.
And when it comes to looping off eX.
travagance in the state-let the sinecures
be fired. Abolish such fat places as the
labor bureau, the tail end of the agricul
tural farce; shoot out of existence the
office of state printer, and then &C
through all the offices and cut down ex
penses. This state business could bt
~done-because a legislature composed
exclusively of business farmers and those
in favor of honest reform can be elected
if the GROWERS will but come together
But will they do it?
Perhaps. Perhaps yes and perhaps no

CLEVELAND NOMINATED.

THE GLOBE to-day prints the news.
The news to-day is that GROVER CLEVE-
the Man of Destiny, has beer nomi-
mated for the presidency. Over a year
ago THE GLOBE, first of all North Caro-
lima newspapers, insisted that GROVER
was the winner. Our own delegation,
puffed out and vide with their own egot-
ism and self-importance, all attempted to
belittle the man who is essentially the
greatest in the democratic camp, but it
seems now that all the red fire was with
out avail, and just as The GLoBE pre-
dicted.
CLEVELAND is the man who can wipe
HARRISON and federal ofice-holding bull
doing. CLEVELAND is bigger in intellect
than the whole tribe Of those who hOwled
against him. DANA and his dirty lies will
evolve worms, but worms of that sort
will not worry. Such rot and rotten
stuff is music to those disguised with
Tammany, and the compositor will help
us on a little with HE'LL.
THE GLOBE has no politics, but it has
some principle and decency.
And it wants to say, and say it loud,
that while it would rather vote for
BLAINE than any man On earth, it is for
CLEVELAND a thousand times before it
is for the cheap Hat and the ass which
the Hat covers, and the outfit, we under
stand, comes from indianapolis, Indiana.
'Rah for CLEVELAND and victory.

THINK ABOUT 1T.

The GLOBE is willing to do its share.
But the people must help. We propose
to print, if the proper encouragement IS
offered, on the day that Trinity College
is opened to the world what we shall call
a Trinity College edition Of THE GLOBE.
In this work DR.. J. F. CRowELL, presi-
dent of Trinity College will assist and he
will supervise all relating to the college
which will make the paper worth keep
ing. 1t is the design to insert no adver-
tisements-but to sell extra papers. We
propose to illustrate the edition, print it
on fine ~calendered paper-and make it an
advertisement such as Durham never
before had. The edition will be illus
trated. Our public school building,
court house, Trinity complete, our
churches or such of them as are most
attractive, together with portraits Of citi-
zens and pictures of our finest dwellings.
These papers will go to all parts Of the
country-being used to give to those who
want to know about Trinity or Durham,
all the information that type can convey.
In a short time you will be solicited to
subscribe for extra copies, and if you are
| willing to be in it, the edition will be
forthcoming. The expense of the affair
makes it necessary to canvass in advance
and if you do not think it the proper
caper we shall print no such edition.

All THIS IS ENCOURAGING.

Within the last two weeks about a
dozen boys who have been idle for some
time-more who have been going to
school, and others who wanted other
kind of labor than what was In sight
have turned out and gone to hard work.
Yesterday a lively little fellow was can
vassing the town for a book-and the
incentive, all along the line seems to be
let us do something-we will make
money.
There never was a darker moment in a
young mans life thar when he sit down
and tried to figure out how he could
make money without honest work. And
in turn there never is a brighter moment
in a young mans life than when he says,
truly these hands were made to do work
i will commence at anything l get.
Idleness is the devils workshop and in
dustry is the true road to happiness.
We are glad to see the young men Of
Durham-or rather the growing boys of
Durham recognize that labor is hOnOra-
ble-glad to see them in the harness.
They will all make good citizens-they
will feel better for their labOr-they will
never regret their step A few more
could join the crowd of workers-and
may they do it.
