NOTES AND COMMENTS.

There seems to be little doubt that
ex-President Harrison will marry his
wife's neice, and there is considerable
feeling on the part of his children
against it.
I'm afraid that man who aspires to
YOUR hand is too weakened to make
YOU a good husband said the father.
''Oh. papa, he's not that! He's held
me on them for hours at a time! -

EA-Attornes General Garland has
contributed to the Washington Post an
elaborate article on the question OF
third term for Presidents. Mr.. Gar
lands article occupies full page of
the Post, and abounds in quotations
and references to sustain his position.
For the first time IN the history of
the country, Colorado has gone anead
of California in the production Of gold,
and now ranks first of all the American
States in the output of the yellow met
al. Her gold production, too, is nov
ahead OF her silver production. In
1895 she produced very nearly SIT ,000,-
900 of gold, and of silver only $12, $780,
oo0, which was S2.5S7 900 less than in
1894.
Florrie II met Mr.. Tutter in the train
the other day, just before we got to a
long stunnel.
Maude-Yes, SO he told me.

Ethel Molly told me yesterday,
Nell, that you had resolved TO give up
talking slang.
SelI-Yes, / have. I've thought it
all over, and I've made UP my mind
that even if the young men do seem 10
like q girl whose talk is bright and
sIangy. when it comes 70 getting mar
ried she simply isn't in it, Someryiiie

Saws the Wilmington Messenger:
After all the efforts 10 get the schools
interested IN the Vance monument
fund. not more than 500 has been rais-
ed In all North Carolina. This IS beg
carly and discreditable. What a slow
people are our people TO help such
patriotic cause! VIII not some lacy or
ladies start such fund in Winning
TOM The men are not going TO take
the initiative" Sixty dollars in one
week is rather disappointing, but not
discouraging. Only few schools
have acted yet. Others will help later.
Editor Stead says: 1T is one thing
10 arbitrate between two powers like
England and the United State, which
are civilized, and another thing to
90 TO arbitration with an unciyilized,
anarchistic, revolution ridden horde
of half-breeds that call themselves
republic in Venezuela" He says the
English-speaking man, whether under
Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack,
has right TO grow and expand his
frontier at the expense of half savage
haIf-breeds, who are unable TO govern
their own country, and who spend their
time in chronic revolution.
ne tDdfI0Lle ODStFbtE cdliH dAttb-
tion TO the fact that some North Caro-
lima newspapers are advertising Tor
and clubbing with the ablest and most
vindictive of Western Republican news
papers 1t also says that doubtless
the Toledo Weekly Blade, vicious,
vile Republican paper, has more circu-
lation in North Carolina than any North
Carolina paper which is conducted as
"a legitimate enterprise and upon its
own merits; and that this circulation
has been built up for it by free adger-
Using which it has procured from the
Democratic press OF the State. Some
of the members of the North Carolina
journalistic fraternity are kinder to
Republican and half-Populist papers
outside the State than they are to each
other"
