Elsewhere in this issue is published
the truth about the North Carolina leg
islature adjourning in honor of Fred
Douglass. 1t was lie sent out by the
Asso ciated Press in the interest Of Its
bosses-the Demo Republican, party,
and we will see if the many Democratic
papers in this State, including our En-
terprise, that so greedily published the
lie, will now publish the truth.

The childish plea in the Silver
party's address, that silver Demo
Gratis and Republicans will not join
the Populist party, is disproved by
the fact that over 1900, 900 OF
them have joined it already be-
sides those that fell q victim to the
ballot-box thieves. Over 1900, 600
more will join it before next elec-
ton, and these will help the pres.
emit members to secure fair cleo
tons, which will give MS the en-
tire South and West Congress
and the President.

EDITOR POPULIST:-
l wish to say that farmers are
making preparations for growing
another crop, the best they can
do, taking their condition at pres
ent into account. There are many
farmers throughout the country
that will not be able to get any
credit until very late, If at all, and
then in very limited amounts. l
learn that G. w. Bolton and B.
Turner, of Pineville, say cotton is
SO low that they expect to carry
but few customers, commencing
about the LIST of April with them,
and of course, quitting about the
first of July. Now the money
| question is at the bottom of all
this financial ruin and disaster. A
continuation of falling prices means
the sure falling of this country
and the people with it.
We are travelling the old Roman
road to ruin and decay. When
Alarie, King of the Cloths, inva-
ded Italy and besieged Rome, the
people had been so numerically
taxed and mortgaged that they had
no apparent interest in the Ro-
man government, Capitalization OF
wealth had gone on 80 long that
the rich were very rich, and the
poor very poor, and as a conse-
quence the poor had nothing te
fight for, and fatty refused to take
up arms in defense of their coun.
try Tor their landlords country.

BISMARCKS BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Space For
Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.


Bismarck's head, says a correspond
ent of L'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made the Statue of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has head
of extraordinarily large size. Measured
horizontally from the frontal bone to
the occiput the head is 212 millimeters,
or more than 1851 inches. The dis
lance from temple to temple is no mil
limeters, Or a trif1e over 6.69 inches.
Bismarck's Uranium has capacity of
1865 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh 1 1867 grams.
These figures become especially sig
nificant when compared with the meas
urements of other heads. Of 2, 500 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex-
ceeded 900 mtllimeters horizontally
from front to back, and that one meas
ured 2O6 millimeters, or six millimeters
less than Bismarck's s. The mean meas
urements of 80 members of the Natural
Science society at Carlsruhe were 1876
millimeters from front to back by 1916
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 205 ny
1863 millimeters. The cubic measure
ment of 245 German heads was nearly
500 cubic centimeters under Bismarck s,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck's brain is 35 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain. In
fact, Bismarck is man not only of
blood and iron, but as we'll of brains.

Domestic Architecture In Chicago.

The inhabitants of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world According to their own news
papers, they permitted one FL. FL. Holmes
to construct in their city a house SO ex-
traordinary, so full of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof watts that
it would have attracted thousands of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else But the guileless Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued the building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual about the house. What is the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are
acid proof watts and secret passages part
and parcel Of the ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is all interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture in Chicago. - Milwaukee

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Work Easily Prosecuted In the Tumu1t Of
a Thunderstorm.

Just as got there it began to sprinkle.

to be under shelter, for I hadn t brought
any umbrella with me. I hadn't had
any supper either, and when I got into
the dining room I thought I'd get some

and the key carried up stairs, but a lit

knife would open pie. set out lit

ate it comfortably, with the rain pour
ing down outside. If there's anything I
like, it's to hear storm a-raging outside
when you re settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
'But here was something I hadn't
counted on. The thunder was roaring
and plunging like dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house in tremble all the time
I knew nobody could sleep in that thun-

but here I was, and I hated to lose
