Eggs are now worth 10 to 12b cts. per
dozen in Raleigh, and the prices are
looking upward. They have sold as
low as s cents per doz here. The prices
North do not justify in shipping, and
if the above prices will justify our
brethren to ship-here we car handle a
large number of crates if the market
shouldremain as firm as it is now. The
closing exercises of the schools here
will cause many to come here and an
increased demand is expected for bal,

RESULTS,
A period Of time, counted by only
two graduating classes, is hardly suh-
clent to judge of results.
The first graduating class left the
College in June, 1898. 1t consisted of
nineteen members. OF these, three
are farming, one is in charge of dairy
at Occoneechee farm belonging to J..
s. Carr, ESQ., one is in charge of the
machinery in the new Deaf and Dumb
State School in Morganton, one is
drRughtsman in a large mandatory
In Nashville, one is engineer in a SINH
lar place in this State, three took post
graduate work at the A. & M. College
and are retained there as instructors,
one is chemist at the State Experiment
Station, n is in charge of the ma
chinery on a dredge boat in Florida,
one is in the milling business in Salem
with Fries Brothers, one is a draughts-
man in Wilmington, n .is teaching
mathematics in the State School for
the Blind, n is teaching in the public
schools, one is merchandising, one is
taking postgraduate work, and one is
employed at home.
In the second year there were eight
graduates, four of whom were already
employed when they graduated.
Fourteen students r spending their
vacation in putting up buildings on the
College grounds and in the vicinity;
six are spending their vacation study
ing chemistry, and others are undoubt-
edly making themselves useful at home
or elsewhere.
It will be. perhaps, readily admitted
that boys who have been we'll grounded
in English studies, in mathematics, and
in scientific studies generally, and who
are enabled to perform such work as
above named, will make useful citi-
zens.
Of course a longer time must be per.
mitted to make up a fair opinion as to
the work of the College, but enough
has been given to answer the question,
Is the work of the College practical9

Press tells the party that there is
nothing more to be done until the world
joins us in that which is simply ruin to
attempt alone. Now this is Republican
doctrine. 1t is the historic position of
the Republican party" And there you
have it. the whole mighty. intricate.
puzzling problem done up ana packed
away in nutshell. No more use Of
silver as money until the world shall
unite with us in decreeing that an ounce
OF silver shall be worth Sl.2929 an ounce.
It's as easy as shooting.
liz the accuracy of the claim that this
doctrine is historically Republican is
disputable, we cheerfully concede that
it has the essentially Republican quail
ties OF vielousness, humbuggery and
futilism. 1t Is Vicious because it gives
recognition and announcement 10 the
tendency already dangerously preva-
lent, that the governments should use
their taxing power TO stay the operation
OF economic laws, aud will accelerate
the movement OF all socialistic schemes.
1t is humbug, because it is only used
as a temporary eXpedient, by which can
be eyaded for time the solution of an
annoying question. and with no eXpec-
tati0n that it can ever be accomplished,
No intelligent man believes that the
principal European nations will ever all
unite in restoring free coinage under
the old ratio or anything approaching it.
1t is futilism because, even IL the ma
lions agreed. the object sought could
not be effected. 1t rests on the asSump-
ton that, II one nation cannot set at de-
fance economic law, five can. 1t would
be futile because value depends not on
the decree of legislatures, but OH the
factor of cost of production operated
on by the demand and the supply.
Governments may disturb, but they
cannot create value. 1t would be futile
because, whatever enhancement of
price might come from the increase of
demand, it would be neutralized by the
increased production thus stimulated.
This would soon bring silver back to the
starting point, with the difficulties
vastly augmented.
No nation at any time should inhibit
the free coinage at its mnts OF any
metal its people wish to use as
money metal; and any nation at any
time could permit this with safety if it
adhered to the sole coinage function of
a government, the ascertainment Of the
commercial ratio and the adjustment OF
its coinage to that.

SeVerai speeches Made and the
Men Advised TO Stand Firm.
The meeting of the A. r. U. men in
Plummer Post hall, held yesterday att
ernoon, concluded at O'Clock. This
morning at $50 another meeting will
be held at the same place. Among
other matters discussed at the meeting
was that Of soliciting aid for the strik-
erS. 1t was reported that persons
unauthorized were doing so, and
the meeting desired the public to know
that nothing should be siven them.
A committee, the members of which
have credentials. are the only ones au-
thorized TO solicit anything in behalf of
the strikers. At the present time the
committee is inactive. The committees
delegated to notify the switchmen,
yardmen and shopmen of the Milwaukee,
road that the strike was ordered on that
road reported mat they received the
news with enthusiasm. They were
waiting for 1t, in fact, and gladly COM
piled with the committees request to
stop work.
Last evening meeting was held OH
Haymarket square. Fully a thousand
.1eople attended, strikers and their SWIM
patnizers. speeches were made. among
Them one by w. ID. Forest. The latter
advised the men to stand firm, and it
would be but short time before victory
would be assured. There was no doubt,
he said, but Pullman and the railroads
would be only too glad to accede to the
just demands OF the A. R. U. He pre-.
scented an argument that was pleasing

The situation as Viewed by a
Prominent Railroad Man.
In referring to the general conditions
of the strike yesterday, the general
manager of the 500 road. who Is perhaps
one of the best posted and conservative
railroad man In the country, expressed
himself as follows:
''Tbe press at this time have an al
most sacred trust to execute. Their
aim should be to give to the public the
exact figures In the case between the
American Railway union and the rail-
way companies. 1t il poor t!ine for
exaggeration or prejudicial articles.
Ii the railway companies are right. the
press and the public will uphold
them in the stand they have taken If
the American Railway union is right,
the reverse should and will be the case,
In time; but there Is nothing that can
contribute more toward settlement of
this trouble than fair start. 1t is bad
time for men occupying official posi-
lions OH railways TO be arbitrary and hot
headed. 1t would appear to any one who
has taken paiHs to become conyersant
with the situation, that il is possibly
the worst time for laboring men. when
there is not work enough to 60 around,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, to further precipitate them
selves into state OF idleness, and the
conservative and responsible element
or them can be converted by having the
situation set forth 10 them in an Impair
tial, straightforward way"

Reached Fargo OVer the North

FARGO, N. D.. June SO.-Oniy two
trains arrived In Fargo today over the
Northern Pacific. Those were No.
passenger, from st. Paul, and the train
on tho Southwestern branch. The
former was run to Staples with a new
engineer named Martin. and from
Staples to Fargo Assist. Supt. Soy
ereigu. of Minnesota division, was at
the throttle, aud man who registered
at Hotel Debs under the name
OF Morgan as fireman. They
had no trouble after leaving Minneap-

The train pulled out again at $500 to-
night with Sovereign as engineer and
frainmaster Comstock, of jamestown.
as fireman. The local union maize no
effort to stop the train. and even did
what they could to speed it on
its way. They expect to win by
withdrawing ali employees from the
service, and only the presence
of new men will cause trouble OH this
division. Marshal Cronan and deputies
are in the city. One hundred and forty
new members have been added IL the
local A. r. U. in the past two days.
The fireinen and machinists have struck
in body, and the Brotherhoods OF Lo-

The Strike Situation in Minneap-
oils Does Not Improve.
The tension In railway and CONNER
cial circles over the strike situation in
Minneapolis yesterday was consider
ably increased ana great aneasiness
prevailed among all classes of business
men. The feeling prevailed that the
crisis of the strike had not been
reached, and developments were awaited
with anxiety.
A tour OF the ticket and general
Offices Of the roads centering here was
made by GLOBE reporter yesterday
afternoon, ana, with the exception OF
the Northern Pacific, tickets were
being sold as usual.
Affairs at the union depot were quiet
yesterday, the morning trains frem
Chicago arriving on time. The train
over the Central was also on time, and
the morning train for Fargo over the
Northern Pacific arrived in Minneapolis
about 10 a. M, and left shortly after
wards for the North.
A tour through the milling district
and Great Western yards shows the
strike to have already left its imprint
in that portion Of the Minneapolis
railroad grounds. Employees of the
Minneapolis Railway Transfer com
pany are out. owing to the fact that
this company is controlled by the
st. Louis read, and it is understood
the men will stand by the majority
until the strike is setted. If this
end Of the strike is continued MANI
days, It is probable the Touring mills Of
Minneapolis may be seriously affected.
There we're about fifty men in the
employ of the Transfer company, chiefly
Scotchmen.. When the strike was
ordered the men quit work and at once
repaired to the hall where the A. r. u.
meeting was in progress.
The firemen on the st. Louis road are
out to man, and the engineers are in
sympathy with them. kilograms were
received from Dickinson, N. D., and
Livingstone, Mont, stating that every.
thing was tied up, with not q single
wheel moving.
At the mass meeting in Plummer post
hall insthe AFTERNOON much larger at
tendance OF men turned out than at the
morning session, representatives from
all striking roads being present. A
number of men from the 300 were pres
ent. but Secretary Bludienauer states
the report that strike had been iuaug-
urated on that road is entirely without
foundation.

was further learned that Chief Clerk

would act as fireman on the evening

To him the old man turned and asked:

Then came the information that the
teiegrspllic system along the Great
Western had been inrerfered with some
what. Wires were reported as grounded
at various points and circuits were
opened, so definite information from
outside points was inaccessible.
Lit was stated in another quarter that

had regretted leaving his post. and had
asked to BIZ reinstated.

THE GENUINE CREED.

If any one were to attempt to defer
mine what Is the actual policy of the
Republican party on the question of
the use OF silver as money metal, and
were to Try to lind it in the acts and
declarations OF the party or in the Ut
terances of its public men or the edi-
torials of its leading papers. he would
come from the hunt with wheels in his
head. Wabbling as has been the course
in the past, it is getting so devious. and
the oscillations are so rapid, the tracks
so tortuous, that, starting in anywhere
and at any point, the inquirer would be
sure to come out OH the other side. 1t
quietly dropped silver into desuetude
in 1873 that proved to be anything but
innocuous long since, and it then
Alllsonized, and later ShermanZed it,
and then tossed it back into desuetude
again. and hoped it had done with the
pestiferous thing forever.
But the pesky thing will not down,
and so far from being settled, it is be.
coming more annoying than ever. The
confusion thickens day by day as this
or That embryotic presidential candidate

thinks will be the popular thing, and as
convention after convention meets and
delivers itself of some policy on silver
which agrees with no other one in the

accustomed to having their opinions
served up to them from some central
authority, looking out on this confusion
of counsel and asking with Cobb, of
Georgia, Mr.. Speaker, where am at?"
or concluding with Dundreary that the
silver problem is one Of those things no
fellow can find out.
In such chaos it must be with in
tense relief that is heard the voice of
our modern John crying in this wilder
ness, and proclaiming the only true
doctrine. When Holmes declined the

LATE NIGHT TRAINS.
The Omaha suspends Duluth
Train Last Night-N. r. Fargo
r Train Goes.

The Omaha suspends Duluth
Train Last Night-N. r. Fargo
= Train Goes.
The Omaha's IL o'clock train for Du-
lnth last night was annulled. At the
general offices of the company last
night the statement was reiterated that
the ile.up OH the Northern division was
practically complete. The trouble still
seems confined, exclusively to that
division, with the exception of the walk
out at both Minneapolis aud in st. Paul.
The company's train which should have
reached here from Duluth WAS bull
letiHed at the union depot as six.abd-a-
half hours late. This time was after
wards extended. At :25 inquiry was
made at the tram dispatcher's office and
this train was then at North Pacihc
junction, whirliDg on to st. Paul all
right.
At the Northern Paeifc's offices it
was reported that the train for Fargo
with deputies OIL board passed Minne-
apoilS with 10 trouble. Attorney
Mitchell and several others in the COM
pany's service accompanied this train
To North Town junction. A GLOBE
reporter met them Oil their return. and
they reported that the trip had proven
barren of events.
A visit to the union depot yards at
HAD showed them quiet and deserted.
