Saws He's an Office Broker.

Capt. w. P. Oldham, whose cores
pondence with Senator Ransom re-
garding the Wilmington postoffice has
been published recently, publishes a
letter in the Goldsboro Caucasian,
Populist organ, in which he attacks
Senator Ransom in savage terms, char
acterizing him as nothing more nor
less than political office broker in
Washington. Capt. Oldham was an
applicant for the position of postmas-
ter, and is prominent citizen of Will
mington. He says it was not the al
legged "bribe" that Ransom took Of
fense at, but because the pay was not
big enough, intimating that if the Sen
ator had favored his appointment any
way nothing would ever have been
heard of this matter that has been
made SO prominent by the publication
of all the correspondence and state
ments bearing upon it.

SOME POLITICAL POINTS.
There is Walking Ahead Of
Them, but No "Walk-Over."

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer has been interview
ing leading Democrat on the political
outlook in this State. The aforemen-
toned l. d. is credited with having
foreshadowed the situation in this wise
after taking look through the horo-
scope as adjusted to his range of
vision:
expect a coalition to that degree. [of
Republicans an Populists on the Legisla-
tive ticket, where it will be to their in
terest to unite in order to defeat the
Democrats and perhaps there may also
be one on the congressional ticket, but
only in doubtful districts. Perhaps even
in some districts which are doubtful
there may be no coalition. | do not
expect any fusion on the general ticket:
that is the ticket for Associate Justices
and judges. Nor do look for complete
and harmonious fusion between the two
elements of the opposition to the Demo-
cratic party. think the fusion. being
of this incomplete kind, will suffer the
fate of all imperfect fusion movements,
that is, defeat, for it never succeeds
unless complete, but on the contrary
tends to disorganize and create mutual
distrust. | think each party will have it's
own candidates for justices and judges.
You ask me what congressional districts
| regard as the most doubtful. To that
1 reply the first, second, third, fourth,
fifth and ninth. In the fifth Badly
Williams will try hard to get the nomi-
nation and Tom Settle will probably be
his opponent. If Williams is given his
seat at this term of Congress there will
be q strong feeling in favor of giving him
another opportunity to 60 before the
people. l think WoOdard will be re-
nominated from the second district.
Grady will be candidate for the nomi-
nation in the third district, but will have
opposition His course in Congress this
session has strengthened him. Bum in
the fourth district will have very decided
opposition if he decides to be a candidate
for the nomination. The ninth district
will be close but l believe the Democrats
will carry it. There is not so much
trouble in the ninth as in the other
doubtful districts. Ransom will have
very pronounced opposition for the
Senate. He knows the fight is already
son.' OF course the Pcpulists want their
man to go in for United States Senator,
and, equally of course, that man is
Marion Butler, their chairman. He is
really the leader of their whole movement
in this State. He is a bright fellow, and
has power, but it is that of cunning and
will not endure.

We hope the day may speedily come
when trust transactions may be so
defined that the law will reach them
and end such business. Such ends
must be attained by enforcing the
laws we have already. But the
people pay premium on what robs
their neighbors, and as long as they
are not robbed they don't care, and
so it is that tobacco men don't CO.

There is one great fault with the
growing generation, and that is the
young men are trying to get rich too
fast. With wealth going to waste all
around them they can not find it in
their souls to be patient. They are
not content to plod along as their
fathers did before them and slowly lay
up fortune. They must have it now,
to-day, this instant! When they 60
into an enterprise they want capital
and lots of it. They want to begin on
big scale and electrify the world. 1t
is not the age of saving but of spend
ing. Speculation, in the opinion of
the New York Tribune, is the craze Of
the hour. Everybody wants to make
more than he can earn by the sweat of
his brow. He must double his money
in night and quadruple it the next
day. 1t is altogether an artificial ex-
istence. Contentment is not sought
nowadays. All that men want is ex-
citement.

The twenty-second annual convention
Of the Indiana short-hOrn breeders as
ISOLATION began in room II Of the state
house Tuesday and concluded Wednes-
day. President J. NJ. Sankey Of Terre
Haute called the convention to order
and delivered his annual address. A
paper by James D. Williams Of Bond
Creek Mills, entitled "Our Interests at
Fairs" brought out a spirited argument.
Mr. Williams did not believe it justice
that the prizes offered in the speed de-
partment should be so much greater
than in the cattle department. Why,
he asked, should a purse Of $1,000 be Of
fered for a trotting race and $50 for the
best specimen OF Jersey stock. He
argued that the expense OF raising the
latter was the greater. He also advO-
Gated that the state association offer ad-
ditonal premiums to any Indiana eX-
hibitors who win prizes at the annual
stock show at Chicago
n. A Mcdonald of west Lebanon IA
vored the large purses to trotting
horses. The speed department makes
the fair a success and comes nearer be
ing self-suppOrting or profitable than
any other department. Last year, he
said, the state fair received from entries
$4,000 and from the grand stand $4,000
and, although there was n loss in all
departments this department came the
nearest to paying for itself.
The session closed with the reading

were the most successful OF all at the
fair and the Indiana display was perhaps
the best ever exhibited. She thought
this and other signs were evidence that
the short-horn was re-establishing itself
and asserting its supremacy over other
breeds Of cattle.
Other papers were read according to
the printed program and discussions
were had which proved interesting and
profitable to members Of the association.

INTENSE COLD IN BRITAIN.
Numerous Cases of Death on Account
of the Weather.

LONDON. Jan. 5.-The severe cold
continues throughout Great Britain. In
many places the thermometer registered
the lowest point known. While the low
est reported temperature today is 5 to
10 above, it involves as much suffering
as would a temperature Of 20 degrees
below zero in the United States. The
people are entirely unprepared for such
a terrible cold wave. and the result is
that the suffering among the poor Is
intense. Many cases Of death from ex-
posture are already reported.

The seventeenth annual convention Of
the Indiana swine-breeders' association
was held Thursday in connection with
the congress of industrial associations.
It opened at o'clock in the morn
ing with about seventy-five of Indiana's
most intelligent and most successful
farmers present. The time when the
farmer knew nothing but to plant corn
and wheat year after year has passed
and now the intelligent farmer carries
on a variety Of industries. If one crop
is a failure he still has others to bring
in a profit at the end of the year. So
also does the farmer calculate ahead and,
like the successful merchant, makes his
plans for the future. Changes In the
foreign relation of the United States led
the more advanced to see that hogs
would prove a profitable investment, and
as a result Of Indiana's intelligence the
year of 1898 has not been so disastrous
to the farmers as in some Of the neigh
boring states. Notwithstanding the
short crops the farmer is not a serious
sufferer if he took advantage Of the OPP
portunity there was open to him in the
production Of pork.

Cunningham Of Loree. breeder Of
