THEIR NAME is DENNIS" TOO

1t is strange how the reading Of
these blood and thunder stories with
the yellow backs, and the wild and
visionary Pop literature that circulat-
ed so freely two years ago, Will distort
the understanding and blur the in
tellect.
A few weeks ago we wrote up few
plain, unvarnished political truths
that are indisputable, and published
them under the head of 1.-THE Issues.
The editors of the Dennis Leader,
who are very nice boys, by the way,
happened to see the article just after
they had been enjoying loug love
feast on the dry goods boxes with
some of their Populistic friends, and
were so surprised at the wonderful
revelations therein that they thought
it fairy story, and wrote US very
complimentary notice.
Thank you, boys; your intentions
are doubtless all right, but you should
study the political history of your
country little closer and pay less at
tentlon to the silly pratings Of shall
low-pated demagogues who predict
such dire calamities to our country il
their fanatical Authorizations are not
acted upon. Yo1r paper would be
more acceptable TO the farmer if you
would jump into the band-wagon OF
prosperity and whoop 'er up for ex
pansion and this great Mckinley pros
perlty we are now enjoying.
The farmers have become tired Of
this shilly shally, wishy washy clap
trap about the poor, down-trodder
and oppressed farmer, and this othel
slush about the grinding heel of cap
ital. Come up little higher, boys
and don't try to fiat that old rotter
and deserted hulk of Populism AM
Longer.

tion Of the judges In substantially al
OF the newer States, and most of the
older ones as well, is to elect part
only at a time. so that courts at al
times may be composed of majority
of old members"
1t is true that the term of judges OF
inferior courts is usually shorter than
that of judges of the higher courts.
But in our own State the term of a
District Judge is longer than that OF
any other State officer in continuous
service outside the judiciary, thus en-
phasizing the same principle, that
public sentiment is against frequent
changes in the Office Of judge.
But this appeal to precedent and
practice is surely not needed in the
case of Judge Stillwell. The people Of
this District know that he is an ADLER
Judge now, after his sixteen years of
unremitting study, than he was when
he first went upon the bench, and that
he is better by just those sixteen years
of experience and study than any new
man, without judicial experience
would be. A bright and capable man
may go into the Office of county treas
urer, for example, and within a few
weeks master the routine of the office
so as to be able to conduct it as we'll
as he could after years of practice.
But however brilliant and learned a
lawyer may be, when he goes upon
the bench some new principle or pre-
cedent or decision is continually being
presented IT, him, and he is taught
something by the trial Of nearly every
important case. That man should
attend such a school as this fer six
teen years and at the end of that time
be less we'll equipped than new man,
could only happen to mental pau
per.
The truth is that there is no sound
argument against the reelection of
Judge Stilwell. The reason urged
for his defeat, that he "has been there
long enough" is really powerful
argument in his favor, for 1T calls at
tention to the fact that the people
have endorsed him three separate
times since his fist election. s"v
people might be led into electing an
Unworthy man first time; but they
would not elect again and again and
yet again a man who was an unjust
or an unlearned Judge, or a bad man.
The people of this District have
kept Judge Stillwell on the bench be-
cause they have had Implicit conf
dence Ii the purity of his life, in the
fectitude of his intentions, in his
knowledge of the law and in his reso-
lutte determination that so far as lay
in his power equal and exact justice
should be done to all. They will elect
him for fifth time because this conf
dence remains mistaken.

NEW METHODIST MINISTER.
Edenton Street Church Very Much
Pleased With Rev. Mr.. Smith.

Rev. George Il. Smith, the new pastor
of Edenton Street Methodist church
preached his first sermon here Sunday
morning.
Both sermons were very fine efforts
and were listened to by large congrega-
lions.
Mr.. Smith preached from the text.
".Iudge not that We be not judged, ana
from ii he drew some useful lessons.
He pointed out the fact that in forming
our judgments Of others we do not
always take into account the motives
that influence or the circumstances thar
surround them. Again we often set UP
for others standards that we ourselves
do not measure up to.
mo man is perfect. No history, now
ever accurate but contains mistakes. no
poem without imperfections. The poetic
fire cools before it can be transferred to
paper; the painters vision dms before
he can stamp ii on canvass. The mes
sage that almost burst the orators soul
loses something Of it's power and elo-
quenee in the telling. Nothing is per-
feet save that which comes from God.
"Ihose who judge are sure to be
Judged in return. The criticiser is criti-
eised. The gossip is gossipped about.
He who sets up standard for others
must march up and he measured by his
own standard. What measure ye meet
shall be measured to you again"
The preacher warned his hearers thar
the text did not mean that they should
believe everything they heard or accept
everybody at face value.
BE discriminating. Do not allow
yourselves to be imposed upon. BE
wise as scrpents but harmless as doves,
judging harshly no mar" a.
The sermon was short, pointed and in
teresting, and made very fine impress
sion.
At the close of his discourse Mr..
Smith spoke Of the fact that he had
just come TO the church. and how he
had prayed that his coming might be
blessing to both pastor and people.
This was, he said, the closing year
Of the Nineteenth century and he hoped
the church would make it 4 memorable
one.
Ii is not too much to say that the
sentiment Of the congregation was tAat
the church had received the vary man
suited to follow DR. Norman. far his
reputation as fine pastor had preceded
him. At the morning service DR..
Gibbs, the presiding elder. was present,
and made some fitting remarks in in

In the afternoon Mr.. Smith preached
at the n. c. Insane Asylum.
This morning Mr. Smith will return
to Louisburg and later in the week he
will return with his wife and two boys.
While in Raleigh Mr. Smith was the
guest of Mr.. Joseph G. Brown.

SMALL Pox Ar PORTSMOUTH
DR.. Hope, the Health officer, Says
There's no Cause for Alarm.

II now seems that very exaggerated
reports Of the number Of smallpox cases
at Portsmouth were brought 10 this city
last the number always going M
into the hundreds.
This, Or. Hope, the health officer at
Portsmouth, says is Incorrect. Up to
. o'clock Saturday night the number
of eases was:
White patients, 30. OF these 80 were
varioloid (very mild form Of smallpox
and ; were genuine cases Of smallpox.
All these patients are isolated in one
part of the town, and all suspects are
quarantined. There is no pest house for
white people.
Colored patients, 80. These are in
pest house miles from the city. Most
Of the cases are mild ones.
AS soon as a suspected case appears,
says DR. Hoe, it is at once taken in
charge and all persons who have come
in contact with it are quaranJined.
Every precaution is taken, he cen
tinues, Ito prevent spread Of the cpl
demic. We now have it well in huRd
and there is no cause for alarm. y

vIRGINIA's cARELEssNEss.
The Eastern Shore Has Become a
Breeding Ground of Smallpox.

Much Indignation is expressed at the
carelesSness Of the authorities at Ports
mouth and other towns in EASTERN Nir-
ginia with regard to the small poX. II
was fact well known that last year
the disease was imported into this State
from Virginia and in fact the whole east.
ern shore seems to have become more or
less OF Il breeding ground for the disease,
the focal authorities usually denying
strenuously that there is any such thing
as small pox about and the newspapers
carefully suppressing all reference to It.
Last year when Norfolk and Portsmouth,
were rotten with the disease--the number
of cases is not obtainable as there seems
to have been no record kept by the au-
thorities- nothing appeared in the papers
of those towns about the epidemic at
Newport News the chairman OF the c0un-
ty board of health. who had a robust case
Of smallpox when the United States ofn-
cial appeared, declared that there was
not a case of the disease in that vicinity
aud refused to move until threatened
with a quarantine against the county. In
other words the attitude of eastern shore
Virginia was to call ii the elephant itch
and then pass it ON to as many of the
neighbors as possible
This year the same happy method OF
stamping out the disease has begun, and
already this State has been infected.
There are dozens of cases, hut mo at
tempt to compel vaccination or to prevent
the spread of the disease. If this course
is persisted in pressure will be brought
to bear ON the authorities of this State
to declare Il State quarantine against
Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the whole in
fected region. The town authorities OF
Monroe. y. c., have already q1larantin-
ed against Portsmouth, which was espe-
cially liberal last year in helping the
epidemic along
In this State the disease has appeared
at ponaona.> where about 10 cases are re-
ported: at Salisbury, where 30 eases are
reported to exist, though no recent report
Of the number has been made TO the
president of the State board of healta;
in Chatham county where it is of a rath-
or severe form, and sporadic cases at
other points.
DIR. Lewis, president of the State
board of health. said yesterday that un-
less vigorous measures are adopted. es-
pecially compulsory vaccination in the
towns where the disease has appeared,
he apprehendesl more trouble from small
pox this winter than the State had last
year.
As has been pointed out so often, quar-
antining is practically useless in attempts
to stamp out smallpox, vaccination being
the only efficient preventive. Neverthe-
less towns that are free from the dis
ease max find the quarantine useful by
enforcing it against all towns that have
smallpox and refuse TO adopt compul-
sorry vaccination ordinance.

MAY APPOINT SPECIAL MASTER
Rehearing of the Railroad Tax Case at
Charleston Next Week.

1t is now believed by attorneys in the
railroad tax case that on the Tehearing
at Charleston, December 9th, Judge
Simonton will appoint special master
to take testimony.
On the hearing at Asheville last Sep
TENDER Judge Simonton repeatedly
stated that he would treat the case
as on the final hearing, and would not
appoint a master to take testimony. For
this he gave two reasons: 81. That
such course would be very expensive;
20 that the testimony presented to the
court in the form of affidavits was very
full and convincing.
What has caused Judge Simonton to
change his opinion in regard to the evil
dence in the case, if it be true that he
has changed, is not known. 1t is certain
that il a special master is appointed the
taking of evidence by him vii entail
enormous expense on both the Stare

nest and persistent advocates. Mr..
Bland has been a life long champion

and contended earnestly for what he
conceived to be right in all public

At one time during his illness he
rallied and hopes were entertained

the nomination, of which there is
very little doubt, he will be elected
easily over any man the opposition
can trot out and will make most ex-
