THE SOLID SOUTH.

Representative Cannon, stalwsrt
Republican Congressman of Illinois,
takes a roseate view OF the Southern
political outlook from the standpoint of
his party, as his recent talk with q
Washington newspaper man would seem
to show. When asked if he thought the
solid South was permanently broken by
the late elections. he said:
81 do. There is no sense nor reason
in either solid South or solid North.
The solid North broke soon after the
war. The South as defeated section
chung together, naturally perhaps, and
were kept together longer than was
reasonable by appeals to their preju-
dices and fears. do NOT think that the
white voters OF the South have any,
thing to fear from the oolored voters,
and believe that the great mass Of
white voters nov realize 1t. 1 think
that both the white vote and the colored
vote in the South will divide. 1 hope
and believe that we will have no more
solid North or solid South. but that the
voters in every STATE OF the Union will
be Influenced by the consideration of
economic questions and the material
prosperity of the country. Prejudices
OF the past no longer have any business
in politics."

DOES NOT DESIRE 1T,

1t no" appears that Secretary Carlisle
does not desire place on the supreme
court bench. There is no doubt that
the President would appoint him to the
position should he desire it. but it seems
he has other plans in view at the close
OF his term as Secretary of the Treas
ury. Washington dispatch has the
following apparently authoritative
statement on the subject:
Secretary Carlisle does not want an
appointment on the supreme bench, &C.
cordipg to the statements Of his most
intimate friends, and would not accent
1t, they say, IL the President should
offer it to him. The suggestions which
have come from his less intimate
friends, that the President should APP
point him to the present vacancy, have
been made without his knowledge, and
do not have mis- approval.

at the head of the Treasury Depart

meet the social demands made on a
Cabinet officer with his inadequate
salary, for he has been unable since he
took the treasury portfolio to continue
at all his law practice, which, when he
was in Congress, yielded him IS 900 or
$4,000 year.
From money point of view he could
not afford to take the supreme court ap-
pointment with $4,000 salary, even If
1t is for life, when he can make two or
three times aa much in the practice of
his profession. OF course, If Secretary
Carlisle had been elected to the Senate
as Blackburn's successor las he would
have been II the Kentucky legislature
had been Democrntio), he would have
been able to serve as a Senator and re-

A great hope is being cherished that

decree has gone forth that sleeves are to

true there is considerable eXpanse left
for ornament. for the gloves cannot be
always worn. III any case bracelets are
cheaper than gloves, and women, though

people of Roanoke Ii they wish attrac-
tions to come to their city. 1t costs
must patroniZe them or the attractions
will not come. The Press has the fol-
lowing to say of Kate Clsxton, who will
appear at the Academy tonight:

she we'll deserves, week of most fiat

The greater part of the queer letters,

fanatics. who urge all sorts of rem
edial legislation to correct what they
believe to be existing evils of govern
ment or the distress that has been
brought about through the inactinn of
congress. The strangest of all letters
was received 4 few DAYS ago from

states who allls for an immediate ses-

The gift of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means a fiction of
literature. The use of pat phrases Is
natural To him.
\ clerical traveller in Cavan not long

certain village and was answered:
Two miles.
What. only two miles," said the
traveller. who had before traversed the
distance and found it a long road.
We'll. your reverence" answered The
peasant. 1t is two miles shtrong and
rich, 50 to spalle,'
\ somewhat similar story is told by
one of Lord Zetiand's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition of
distressed district. They were cross
ing lake: a gale was blowing and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant. if treated
well. will always agree with what is
said to him rather than appear disagree
able 1t struck the gentleman that here
was a good chance to put the assertion
to the proof.
There iS very little wind, Pat" he
said to one of the boatmen.

ing of the elements:
