EDITORIAL NOTES.

When the News and Observer gets
I'm a good humor, we may expect cool,
pleasant weather again.
A Chicago girl fell in love with a %
year old printer at six. At ten they
became engaged, and last Sunday they
were married, the bride being IA years
Of age
SMcKinIey's money may be sound, "
but it seems that all of it spoils before
reaching US. The only thing sound"
about it is q great sound because of the
lack of it.
(CarIisle, with his usual love for the
corporations, has been defending the
Southern railroad in its suit against
Governor Russell. The Governor how,
ever, is making a brave fight.
J The large bill of prosperity which
the people ordered last November,
from Mckinley & Co., Wholesale deal
ers in Prosperity and General Reform,
has not arrived. The firm has proba
bly, made an assignment to John Bull.
/ Broker Chapman didn't leave Jail
as early as he could, but there's no,
thing strange about that. There's
many a poor editor or farmer around
here that would be glad to get in such
a Jail % as the one to which he was
carried.

j Gen. WeyIer is making a record as
the modern rival of Baron Munchau
sen. He says he has killed 10000 Gu
bane. The Atlanta Constitution"
says that to do this he would have
been compelled to kill each insurgent
three times. That beats the old fable
about the cats and their nine lives all
to smash.
= Vic8 President Hobart is keeping up
with the procession. Sworn evidence
has been presented to the Inter State
Commerce Commission that he figures
in a direct infracsion Of Federal law.
Carrot, of whom few of us ever heard
till last year, is not quite sharp
enough. Father Mckinley had better
give GaTrety a lecture or he'll bring
disgrace to the whole family.
IWhat is to be known as the Republi.
can Silver party was organized in Chi
ago, Tuesday. Thirty two States were
represented. OnlY three Southern
States were on the list. Chales A.
Towne, Of Minnesota, was elected per
manent chairman of a National com
mittee of seven to have general control
and conduct of the party. A delega-
ton of women representing the Wo.
mans Bi-Metallic Union, headed by
Mrs. TiIlinghast, of Cleveland, waited
upon the gathering. North Carolina
was not represented. North Carolinians
are not aware of the dissatisfaction
that exists among the Republicans OF
the North and West. Let the good
work go on.

A SUCCESSFUL JUNE FISHER.
MAN.

Viewer try to beat a man at his own
game" is a maxim over which North
Carolinians would do we'll to ponder.
At Lenoir, last week, an oily tongued
vender of some great 'cure-al as
sisted by two accomplices, collected
the guileIess denizans of Lenoir about
him and played his little game. At
first, persons bought only a quarters
worth of medicine. They received in
return the medicine, their money and
10 cents extra. He then informed them
that for 80 cents, he would give them
their money, the medicine and a costlier
present. And 80 he did-75 cents
and the medicine for so cents only
The astonished people crowded around
their benefactor. The long promised
Mckinley prosperity had arrived. They
had but to reach forth and grasp the
%glittering prize. Now, the generous
medicine seller stated that to all who
bought 81 worth of the medicine he
would return their money and give
them a still larger prize. Out rolled

1t is intimated that the News and
Observer hopes to iDjure the A. & NJ.
College by making a great blow about
the recent action of the Board Of Trus
tees. Some think that paper wishes to
create.a distrust of the College faculty.
Weare not apprehensive The News and
Observer, like all other boomerangs,
does as much execution in the req as
to the front, and if it has any effect at
all. it will be an increase in attendance
at the College.

the treasury notes was near by the side
Of this charitable visitor from Paradise.
Visions of new bonds, of gorgeous
palaces and sparkling diamonds flashed
through the minds Of the eager invest
ors. In a twinkling of an eye they
would be the rivals of Geo. Gould and
Vanderbilt. But there was suddenly
the noice of a disturbance on the out
skirts of the crowd. The fakir's two
accomplices had become involved in a
preconcerted difficulty on the outskirts
of the crowd. The people turned to
see what the disturbance was. Per-
haps they thought that while they
watched the fight their investment
would yield interest toan almost fabul-
GUS amount. But "all is vanity, vanity,
vanity )" then came ''vexatioR of spirit"
When next they turned the benef-
cent vender of medicine had disap
peared. The piles of the white metal
and the ~greenbacks of gorgeous hue
had accompanied him. The people
gszed about in wonder; slowly did the
truth dawn upon them, and then
weeping and gnashing of teethnw was In

Mn speaking of the new ''SiIver Rs,
publican party" the Winston ''Repub-
lican" says: Evidently another
end to some political kits is being
formulated" If Mckinley doesn't put
on his glasses and go to work this ''tail
end" may be the biggest part of the
Republican party in 1900. Better keep
your eye on it. You can't fool all the
people all the time" The "tail end'
may pull the whole party down to de-
feat four years hence.

7 1t is said that a man who spent
1925, 900 in the interest of Grover
Cleveland died penniless in Rhode
Island, while Grover with mis- millions
opened not his mouth. If true then
Grover is about on par with Russell
Sage and it would take more than '16"
of such beings as they are to make II"

There is an old legend to the effect
that st. Patrick banished all reptiles
from Ireland by beating drum, but no
one, probably, seriously believes the
story. According to the myth, he took
has drum out for the purpose mentioned
and commenced pounding it SO vigor-
ously that he knocked a hole in the
drumhead, thus seriously endangering
the success of the miracle. While pom
deuNg what to do st. Patrick was as

the broken musical instrument. After
tho lule had been mended the angel
vanished, and St Patrick continued the
