A south Carolina dispatch has the fol-

senator Irl,v. n Isaslrens. on Monday. to
a reform convention: On the national
affairs he said in substance that the pro-
posed tariff law was a h1mbug and

Senators because Of the sugar trust COM

crat and would be the last man in the
State to desert the Democratic party. lie
himself saved the Deinocraticpar;yi intact
two years ago. He said that his hearers
were Democrats Of the purest type. that
the South WAS Democratic. Tom Watson,
he said, was bright young fellow, but
he was inoompetent, and the South want
ed wise Democratic leaders. The South
and West must get together with Boies,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-ShOrtly before
O'Clock this morning 40 police from
Baltimore swooped down on the Coxey-
ties camp at Highlands, near Bladens-
burg, Md, and captured the entire
army. The officers left five of the les

warning that unless they vacated the
place within three days they, too,
would be arrested. The men now in
camp say that everybody there had
money in his pocket when arrested,
and provisions were more plentiful than

stayed at the camp last night, hut this
morning hid himself and escaped ar

She Won the Nomination.

4 paper published at Forman, y. D.,
brings out a romantic incident in cOnnee-
tiOn with the nomination by the Repub-
lican State Convention of Miss Emma f.
Bates. of Valley City, 20 be State Super
intendent of Schools. Miss Bates had
charge of her own canvass for the nomi-
nation, and found formidable opposition
in John II. Deyine and Prof. J. II. Hol-
Land. She was able to side-track the lat
ter by making herself solid with the
Young Mems Republican League. She
then entered into negotiations with Mr..
Devine, first demanding unconditional
surrender. This he refused.
After further negotiations is is said that
he agreed TO pull off the track providing
she wOuld, if elected State Superintend-
ent, make him her deputy and marry him
in the bargain. After some deliberation
she agreed to do this, provided he would
stump the State for her. This was also
agreed to. As he isa powerful speaker.
Miss Bates is conceded to have made the
shrewdest political deal yet known.

A Snake in His Trousers.

WOODBRIDGE, y. j., Aug. lO.-David
Ayres, Of this place, had thrilling ex-
perience last night, which he will not for

he has been engaged in painting the barn
Of Peter Nelson, at Ford's Corners. three
miles from here. At noon he took off his
trousers and donned pair of overalls.

quickly as possible, and iled calling for
help.
The snake disappeared in the hay, and
later when Nelson went out to the barn
he found his pet spaniel, Tip, lying dead.
The dog had attempted To drive the snake
out and had lost its life. The body was
swollen To an abnormal size from the
effects of the poison,

Can Co to Thunder with His weather.


The Montgomery Neirs. OF Hillsboro.
H.. thus expresses lis view on Irl d.
Hicks refusal To permit his weather fore
casts to be published in the papers:
Rev. Irl II. Hicks in late number of
HIosl,i a,,a Works has given notice that
hereafter he viii not permit publishers OF
newspapers To reprint his weather fore
cast He claims, thai l,y allowing the pa
pcrs to publish them they have filed the
land with the products of his unrelent-
ing toll at the sacrifice Of his only means
of support. As his journal Is copyright
ed he can of course prosecute any paper
that publishes his forecasts without per-
mission. Hence the readers of Mont
gomery Ncsrs will have no more Hicks
weather unless they subscribe for the
World aud Works. No more storm peri
Ods, no earthquakes. no more equinoxes,
no '-unloOked-for down-pours," no more
coniunctions, adverlls, adjectiyes or prep
ositions OF Jupiter and Neptune. Here
after our readers will have TO con-
tend with common old fashioned. North
Carolina weather. The cyclone may
crack its tail around our homes but il will
pass by unheeded. Earthquakes may
shake the dishes on the cupboard shelves,
spill the nolasses and scare the eat, in
the Head hours of the night, but we will
think ii is the mules kicking in the barn.
The rumble and roar of the thunder may
sour our milk in the cellar, but the chill
dren will imagine its the old man snor-
ing. Spots ON the sun may come and go
and create no ripple on the surface Of our
train-quility. Comets may sail around
i'm the sky as thick as buzzards in hog
cholera time, but we will heed them not.
Meteorie stones may pelt us in the back
of the neck and we will cuss the neigh
boris children for throwing rocks. Stars
may shoot athwart the heavens in fOel<s
and herds and droves but wen think
they are lightning bugs and go to bed
undisturbed.
We are sorry for some of our readers
who have been in the habit of buying
umbrellas when Hicks predicted rain,
and building storm cellars when he said
there would be cyclones, hut as far as We
are individually concerned. Hicks can
take his old weather and go to thunder
with il, il don't suit US any how.

Acensns Of childrsn

Nathan {. Schaffer, State superintend-
ent of public instruction, said few days
since in Pittsburg;
"In my next report I shall ask the
Legislature to make provision for a school
census. / shall recommend that the as
SCISSORS in every school district take a
census of the children in each family,
giving the date Of their birth. These
records will be kept so that the county
authorities shall know when a child is
old enough to begin its school life and
when it is old enough to be permitted to
quit. 4 compulsory education law that
will soon become dead letter will he
worse than no law at all. The great fear
/ entertain is that the first law enacted
will be too mild. To be successful il
should be stringent" Mr.. Sehaffer
further said that the $. 5o0.O 900 appropriate
ed for district schools at the last session
of the Legislature is being largely spent
by the school boards in the purchase of
text. books. Pittsburgh, he said, has
purchased about l25.OO0 text books for
use next term.

\ YEAR ago yesterday Congress met
in special session at the call Of the
President, and il has been in cOntinu-
ous session since, with the exception of
a single month. This is a good time 10
inquire what has been accomplished.
The object of the special session was 10
repeal the purchasing clause of the sil-
Yer act Of 1880. II might have been
done in a week or fortnight, but in
point of fact it took the better part Of
three months; and repeal would never
have been secured without the aid Of
Republican votes. Outside of this, who
can recall anything Of valneOr import
anee that the LIIId Congress has done
i'm its eleven months Of existence? Its
record Of incompeteney, of wasted OPP
portunities, of rank iuefiieiency, has
never been surpassed. l. the Demo-
cratic party proud Of il? II Is on this
record that il must go before the coun-
try at the coming Congressional elec-
tions.-N. y. Tribune Aug. q.
