SCIENCE IN THE SAHARA.

A detachment of Turcos has left Blida for Biskra to act as an escort to the explorer, M. Foureau, who is about to proceed on a scientific mission to Ouargia and Forts MacMahon, Miribel and finally Mimoun. The soldiers carry the small artillery repeating carbine, and will be mounted on camels. At Ouargia fifty Saharan rifiemen, with two Hotchkiss quick-firing guns, will join the mission. The column will be commanded by Commandant Lamy, ex- orderly officer of the president of the republic, and by a captain and four lieutenants. All the necessary stores have, been collected at Biskra. It may be remembered that these preparations gave rise to a report that a military expedition was being organized to con- .iuar several oases near the Morocco frontier.-London Pest.

SOL SMITH RUSSELL.

An Excellent Actor in Foolish
 Play.
 That admirable comedian Sol Smith Russell appeared at the Hyperion last night in a piece entitled Uncle Dick" adapted by Martha Morton from the German It is the silliest and weakest play that has been seen here in a long time. Sol Smith Russell has host of friends, but he will not retain them if he presents such rubbish, and it is con- soling to know that he is rehearsing a new play. The scenery for Uncle Dick' is elaborate and artistic, and it ought to surround a good piece effectively.
 The audience was large and appar- ently enthusiastic, and MT. Russell made his customary speech, which was the best thing he did.

FOLLOWING A BAD EXAMPLE.

DR.. Cyrus Thompson in his speech at
Clinton. taking up a copy of the News
and Observer containing the cartoon
showing Jim Young's authority
to inspect the asylum for the
Deaf. Dumb and Blind, eX-
claimed in substance: "See how these
Democrats lie. Jim Young. is not even
a director of~the Asylum
Now. Doctor, will you tell the people
when Jim Young resigned? Your de-
caration that Jim Young is not Direc-
tor may be true and we understand IS
true now. But how long has it been
true? DR.. Thompson seems to know Ill
about it and the people would be glad
for him to inform them just when that
important event occurred and why.
But the main point about DIR. Thomp-
sons statement was his effort to impress
the people with the idea that jim
Young had never been a director of the
Deaf. Dumb and Blind Asylum-"he is
not even director" The Doctor would
not say that Jim Young had resigned
because that would have been to admit
that he had been director and tins
the wary Doctor did not intend to do.
The statement made by him was calcn-
lated and intended to deceive his au-
dience; but it cannot be permitted to
have that effect. On the contrary it is but
another illustration of the unreliabilitv
of the statements made by Fusion ora
tors. Since DIR. Thompson has joined the
Republican party he is evidently on the
point of adopting the ancient Republican
advice to ''lie like hi and stick to it.
We shall next expect to hear Dr. Thomp-
son defending the penitentiary manage
ment, and asserting that John Il. Smith
lis not even the superintendent of it. -
Jim Young was Director of the Asy-
lum-will Doctor Thompson tell the peo-
pie so and tell them whether he APP
proved Of his appointment or not?

REVOLUTION IN ITALY.


The recent bread riots in Italy are be-
lieved to he simply mutterings before the
storm. The trouble is the people are
over taxed. A great part of their earn
ings is taken by the government. AS
times go by the crisis approaches, and
the end is likely to be the same as in
the American revolution. Many men
and women try to do too much. They
0vertaX their system as governments
overtaX their subjects. Then comes\ a
break down. The stomach, kidneys,
liver and nerves are affected. What is
required is a medicine like HoStctter's
Stomach Bitters to restore the strength
and build up new and healthy tissues
Any druggist will supply it, and the
sufferer will be astonished after taking

JUDGE" SPENCER B. ADAMS.

He said that mine times out of ten II
YOU will chase down the fellows who are
going about trying to stir up race preJu-
dice you will find them sleeping with
negro woman"
Proceeding to the question of rape, ne
argued to the jury that it was Il lesser
offense than seduction because the only
difference was, he said. that one was
committed by force and the other nN
fraud.-RepOrt of Adams charge to the
grand jury at Columbus.
That Judge Spencer p. Adams was Il
stranger to the law was known to every
bar and jury in the State where he has
held a term of court. 1t is since his
denomination for the judgeship that he
is showing himself equally a stranger to
decency.
The press and the people have been
kind to Judge Adams. They have borne
his legal blacksmithing with calm phio-
sophy as one of the many mlsfortlnes
incident to these disjointed times. They
have forebornc to criticize and to expose,
because respect for the Judiciary is one
of the most wholesome restraints upon
public disorder. His ignorance was par
doned for his coarse good humOr, and liti-
gants waited with what patience they
might for Justice ut the hands of tn"
Supreme court.
But when Mr.. Adams in his capacity
of Judge. instead of making justice terri
bic to the evil docr. goes out of his way
TO hold a gratuitous brief for crime.
he renders the charity Of silence imp0s-
sible. That he did this in his charge
to the grand jury ut Columbus the report
published in Saturdays paper showed
beyond dispute.
The judiciary of North Carolina has,
for the most part. stood high. It's decis-
ions have commanded respect both in
and out of the State. The men who
composed il have generally conducted
themselves becOmingly. For Spencer
r. Adams was reserved the double dis
tinction of making its interpretations the
laughing stock of lawyers and of pros
stituting the crmine to the base purposes
of the pot-house politician.
Among every people rape has been con-
sidered the most heinOus crime in the
category. The African cannibal punish
es it with death. And yet, at time
when the outrages of negro men upon
white women have been unusually fire.
qucnt in North Carolina, Judge Spencer
T. Adams declares it is less hcinous
than an offense that is only punishable
with brief Imprisonment.
If Spencer Il. Adams were not can
didate to fl. again the bench he has 50
disgraced the infamy Of his action ut
Columbus might be passed in silence. But
he is Il candidate. And in order to Sc
cure his reelection he takes advantage
ofithe dignity and respect that the tall
ents Of his predecessors have lent to the
bench to appeal from it to the criminal
instincts of his base constituency in
is dependent for reelection upon the
votes of potential, if not actual crimi-
nails he ''licks with candied tongue where
thrift may follow fawning" and winks
with sly good fellowship at the pris-
oner ut the bar. He SANDERS good men
that vicious men may not feel shamed
by comparison and offers legal indul-
gences i'll exchange for ballots.

GOVERNOR HOLT'S MEMORY HONORED.

The name of Thomas NJ. Holt is for
ever connected with the State Aericul-
tural Society, of which he was Il long
time president. For twenty five years
he was a member Of the society and took
a deep and helpful interest in all its
operations. No living man knows the
extent of his generosity in times when
the Fair needed his help. 1t is most fit
ing that mt the coming Fair IN address
commemorative of the life of its bene-
factor should be delivered, and Col. Gun
ningham has wisely invited Capt. G. H..
benson, long associated with Governor
Holt in the management Of the Fair, to
prepare the memorial address. 1t will
be an eloquent production paying "A trib-
ute to patriotic and distinguished North
Carolnian who is with the immortals.
Judge Spencer b. Adams is the only
man in North Carolina who thinks the
last4Legislature is worth all that it costs.
Since he has gone into the business of
making political harangues to please base
negroes from the bench, he is probably
ready to endorse all the venality and
rascality of the gang that the Progress
sive Farmer and Caucasian said disgrace
ed the State.

if he were placed at the head of the
State ticket he would fight there as long
as the Executive Committee said so.
Colonel II. Il. Long, Republican, who
had seconded Mr.. SINNERS nomination,
declared the convention had made q

That was in 1892. Colonel SINNERS
speech on that occasion voiced what
ought to be the sentiment of every
white man in the State. Unfortunately
for him the bait of $1,000 job was
dangled before his8vision, he fell from

came the ally of the goldbugs, trusts.

everything he then said he would not do.
Now what do we see? The home town
of Colonel Harry Skinner is in the hands
of negroes. there are several hundred ne
gro magistrates in the State negro cen
trolls the white Deaf and Dumb school.
negro troops make themselves offensive
on trains. the State Government is n
disgrace to civilization, n white judge
apologies for the crime of rape. the
white women in the country are afraid
TO go away from home without pro
lection and all the evils have come upon
the State which Colonel Skinner pre-
dicted would follow Radical rule.
What is his attitude now? Within the
last week he has been crowned King of
the PopuiSt party upon his platform of
advocating fusion with the Republicans
and sending goldbug to the United
States Senate. Those pOpulist office
holders. who had been supposed to be
against the elevation of the negro and
the gold standard. have gotten on their
knees to Colonel Harry, and said Lead
us, or we lose our salaries" And Col
onel Harry Skinner has needed their
call upon two conditions: l. That the
whole party will follow him in fuSing
with the negroes and the gold bugs; ..
That his course in boiling the party and
advocating gold bug Pritchard for the
Senate be approved, at least tacitly.
