Butler is travelling around now try
ing to get up a complete fusion with the
radicals. The Messenger early prophe-
sled this dicker. He is a reckless dem
agogue and forgets his demagogy. He
some time ago sent out from Washing
ton this interview. He is speaking of
the republican party and here is the
way that the Shiny fellow-the great
lawyer(O-spoke of his political allies
and associates:

The men OF more or less science who
came TO North Carolina to make obser-
vations as to the eclipse of the sun.
made observations also of the people.
How much the world has actually
learned from what they saw peering
into telescopes we are not informed.
But one of them earned something by
watching the people. Professor c.. H.
Winston was one of the observers at
Wadesboro. He has been telling some
rather droll stories. Here are some:
Several inquiries were gravely made
as to what the sun is to be ~eclipsed
with One genius wanted to know,
with seriousness in his tone, whether
the spots on the sun are growing larger
year by year. Another thought he had
the scientists badly, for, said he, in
talking about the noon passing over
and covering the sun they forgot thai
it is new moon, and ever if it did pass
over the sun, the little piece of a moor
would be too small to make a tota.
eclipse. And a bright young woman

scene just as the advancing moon wa:

phasis: Il do believe it is going to b.

North Carolina is involved in consider
able doubt. 1t thinks, however, that If
the negro is not now ~disfranchised he
will be soon or late, for it "is bound TO
COKE in every southern state" OF
course it is, and it must come in North
Carolina. We quote a part Of its
article:
But in North Carolina a very large
proportion of the whites are in the re-
publican party or are populists, who
are assistant republicans there, and
these whites. straight republicans and
populists will vote solidly against the
constitution. There is a good deal of
doubt therefore, whether the scheme
will succeed now.
1T is bound to come to this some
time in every southern state where ii
has not come already. The whole coun-
try tacitly recognizes the necessity of
some means of securing white supre-
macy. Even those northern sections
hat not many years g regarded the
negro as peculiarly the ward OF the ma
ton and his right to vote n Of the
most sacred rights guaranteed by the
federal constitution, now look upon his
disfranchisement with Indifference. II

Whatever else is neglected, left I'M
done by the democrats, do not let
house-to-house visits in every township
be overlooked. Real organization of
the right kind must embrace this sys-

making in the townships is a necessity

to supplement other efforts. A COM

Of the club to undertake anything like

the department is watched with inter-

occurred Monday, March 10Th, was an
address by the Row. F. L. Hatch. en-
titled The Pilgrims of the Trail or the
Romance Of Geography" Mr.. Hatch
has been an enthusiastic student of
American history for years, and he pref
aced bis remarks by congratulating the
women upon the material OF the subject
at their disposal in the public library,
stating that in breadth and discrimina-

formers" that they be allowed to try
the experiment Of purchasing the gas
plant and the street railway is ridicu-
lOus. A few more years Of such an ad-
ministration as we have recently been
having will enable the city to go far
towards buying these plants out Of
the proceeds OF the one which it now
owns. But to saddle the city with an
inexperienced government, and at the
same time incur debt by reason Of
the purchase Of gas plant would be
a step in the direction of irretrievable
bankruptcy.

tured and conscientious men who may
be trusted with the most precious in
terests i'm the city. Mr.. Allen. who
has been the president Of the board,
has proved himself valuable man.
The Savings Bank.
The establishment of savings bank
in Lincoln is good news to a great
many people. That city so large as
Lincoln should have no savings bank
is reproach. Iowa has 32O savings
banks with deposits of s5OOOO8OO. On
account of the disastrous boom which
collapsed harder in Lincoln than any
where else, the savings banks estab.
lished here went out of business. The
organization Of new savings bank
by the directorate Of the First Ma
tiOnal bank, ms pires confidence and
deserves it. The satisfaction expressed
since the decision was announced has
been hearty. showing that the need
had begun to be felt.

My loadye's Heart.

Ny Ladye is gentle thing,
Her sympathies are quick and keen,
A tale of woe her heart will wiring,
She would not wound fly, l ween.
A kinder maid was never seen;
In cruel sports she takes no part
Angelic arc her look and mien-
Ny Ladye with the tender heart.
And yet grave charges l can bring
OF cruelty against my queen;
Her hat, 50 brave with breast and wing
Her sealskin, with its si1ken sheen
While lambs that never grazed the green
Died ere they lived to make her smart;
How can her eyes be 50 serene?
Ny Ladye with the tender heart.
And then her menu! (Oh, the sting
OF facts like these, which song demean!
Yet truth Is truth.) She whom sing
Dimes well on dead things, fat and lean;
The market, with its CORY scene,
To her is like hall Of art,
Although her smile is infantine,
My Ladye with the tender heart.
EnUoi.
Death, you arc eourtier to my queen;
That she may thrive you do your part,
Nor does her protest intervene
Ny Ladye with the tender heart.

with a constantly falling valuation,
and with q reduced levy. the city has
not merely operated within its means,
but it has paid off its back warrants
at the rate of over $4,000 a year, and
has very materially reduced its float
ing debt.
Another direction in which notable
progress has been made is in the pay
ment Of district paving bonds. In
one year from March 1st, 1899 to
March LIST, 1900 the city paid $40 90
of these bonds. From the beginning
up to March LIST, 1900. bonds Of this
character had been issued to the
amount of sl.l9l, 1871. # this
amount. which includes all the bonds
for the recent repaving, on March LIST,
there remained unpaid s29S.772 81.
The street railway and the school dis.
tfict controversy will almost account
for this sum.
In another direction, however, even
more has been accomplished. From
September 1891, to September 1894.
the water department Of the city was
operated at a loss Of Sl4.20627. Dur
ing the same period in 1894 and 1895
the loss to the city was $5,27O SO.
During the same period in 1895 and
1896 the loss to the city was Gil. 463. %.
From September 1st, 1896. to April 1st
1897, period Of less than a year, the
loss to the city in the operation Of
the water department was SIS, 1892.
From April 18th, 1897, to April 18th,
1898, the loss i'm The operation Of the
water works was s13 .265 96. From
this time when Mr.. Tyler. the present
water commissioner took charge. an
entire change became manifest.
Without criticising Mr. Tyler's pred
ecessors. the fact remains that he
has been able, by the application Of new
methods, and with the able and &C
tive co operation Of Mr.. Spears, chair
man Of the water committee of the
council, to bring about a rev con-
ditiOn. From April 18th. 1898, to
April 18th, 1899, the city has derived
a profit of 5000 from the operation Of
its water system. The period from
1899 to 1900 is not yet complete, but
the books of the department show
that even a greater profit will be de-
rived this year. In other words, the
water department., from being a grave
burden to the city, has become a
source of profit. That this change
is not fOrtuitOuS is shown not only
by the fact that it has been main
tanned for the two successive years,
but by the items of expenditure
which prove that careful attention
to every detail is to be credited with
much of the good results. In twelve
months from September 1st. 1886, to
August 31st, 1897, the expenditure for
coal was s15, 541 so. In twelve months
from January 1st, 1899. to January lst,
1900, the expenditure for coal was
s9,O95. In 1896 1897 the expenditure
for office expenses was s4,645.09,
whereas in 1S99-19OO it amounted to
s2.9s4.56. General repairs in 1885,
1897 cost 81, 1874 "a, in 1899 1900 $732.
Even in the small item Of packing We
find an expenditure of 1923 50 In 1896,
and but s57 s. in 1S99-19OO. These
figures might be multiplied iDdeti-
uitely but suffice it to say that during
the former period the water works cost
the city sl5, 92s. 46 in excess Of what
they produced. During the latter
