Kissing and splitting by young kittens, even

think that the hole where the helpless wild kittens
resided contained venomous snake II is a very
curious and remarkable fact that many different
kinds Of creatures which have their homes in
shallow holes have a similar habit uf splitting
when AN enemy approaches. Furthermore, II is
probable that the expression Of cat AT bay is part
Of the same instructive sIatcgcm. We know
how general is the horror OF the serpent tribe
through out all nature and hence II seems likely
that the scrpcntnc aspect Of the head OF an enraged
cat together with its threatening hiss, might dis
concert an enemy sufficiently TO give an advantage
10 the cat.
Curiuusly enough, cats Of all species have their
tails marked transverSely III a way which resem-

THEY ARE COMING BACK.

In the ranks of the gold Democrats
who bolted the party in 1896, there
were four classes. l. The noisest
class was composed of men who are
employed by big syndicates and trusts.
They obeyed orders. They hold their
fat positions at the hands of Eastern
and European capitalists, and they had
to bolt 2. The second class was COM
posed of men who We're never Demo-
Gratis at heart, men who believe in
protection, bounties, and the like who
thought it good time to join the Re
publican party. 3. Men who opposed
free coinage of silver and favored the
gold standard. 4 Men who were Co
creed into voting by their employers.
The first two classes will stay with
Hanna, the first because the corpora
tions that give them big salaries will
1896, and the second because they are
in sympathy with robbery under the
form of law" Most of the third and
fourth classes will come back. Some
of the third have become converted to
the Chicago platform and others are
so outraged with McKinleyism that
class have chafed under the coercion
of 1896 and will not repeat it in 1900.
Mr.. Chas. S. Thornton, ex-Corpora-
tion Counsel, of Chicago, speaking of
the Illinois gold men, says:
Il do not know what the organiza-
tons of gold Democrats may do, but
from interviews with many of the lead
ers 4 believe that 80 per cent of them
will accept Mr.. Bryan's invitation and
rejoin the Democratic party; and,
though many of them may not be en-
tirely in harmony with every individual
plank of the Chicago platform, yet
the fact that many questions during
the past two years have arisen which
are of paramount Importance and will
likely be made pivotal during the next
campaign will determine their course. .
Mr. Bryan says that in 1896 the Dem
ocrats will battle against three things
the gold standard, Imperialism and
trusts. The 100000 VINO voted
against the gold standard in 1896 will
be reinforced by 100000 men who
will vote with them against imperial
ism and against trusts. All those
who vote against gold monometalism
may not be in entire sympathy with
the platform against Imperialism, for
example Senator Teller and Senator
Stewart All who vote against trusts
may not believe that free coinage is
essential. All who vote against impe-
rialism may not regard the trust and
money evil as paramount But they
will make common cause 10 restore the
government to American lines where
America will control its monetary and
industrial policies and refuse to ape
Europe either in its immense standing
army, its repression Of labor, or its
subordination to Rothschild control of
its financial policy.

HELP THE DESTITUTE.

The Newbern Journal says that the
inhabitants of Portsmouth and the peo-
pie who lost their homes on the banks
during the recent unprecedented storm
ARE in a destitute and needy condition.
Their lives have been spared them
and that is about all. At present they
need provisions and money in order
that they may get fresh start in the
world"
Some provisions have already been
sent from Newbern and the Journal
says that larger and more general
movement is on foot, and a cargo will
leave Newbefn on the government
steamer General Thorn Saturday even
ing. Any contributions in kind or
in money sent in care of the Journal.
Newbern, n. c., will reach the needy.
This appeal ought to be responded to,
not only by the generous people of New
bern, but of the whole State. The
people have lost their homes, their lit
tie boats, their means of livelihood.
They are our own people, an indus
trious, religious and patriotic people.
The contributions ought to be prompt
and generous. AS the General Thorn
leaves Newbern this evening" we sug-
gest that individuals or communities
willing to contribute telegraph through
their local banks to the Newbern banks
so that their gifts may leave Newbern
Saturday afternoon.
