Gerrymandering has begun in north
ern states so as to give republicans so
far as possible control of all of the
congressional districts. They were
modest and just. 1t will be recalled
that the new apportionment will affect
twenty-three states. OF these all but
seven can be easily gerrimandered by
the republicans. They are too modest
to decline the honor. This business
will increase the power of the already
large dominant republican party. in
the north. The Baltimore Sun of Sat
urday says:
THE Massachusetts legislature has
for some time back been engaged in
an attempt to make the representation
in that state as solid republican as
possible. Under the new apportion-
ment the state has 13 representatives
and. according to some of the Boston
papers, the effort is to limit the demo-
cratic party to a single member"

The negro question is so pre-occupy-

however dry the theme by reason of
constant Ihreshing. The Messenge- en-

1t ill be remembered that Booker

in the north, keeps in close touch with
it, and it is his opinion that there is no

south is the best section of the country

Settlements ON London Exchange

London, May 15.-Contrary to the
fears felt on the stock exchange, the
settlement, thus far, is progressing
without much difficulty. and the best
informed brokers believe the crisis has
been successfully passed so far as
London is concerned.
The opening prices of Americans,
while they showed advances over those
of the closing of New York of yester-
day, were wholly nominal n there
were no transactions.
Four or five firms are still in difficult
ty, but it will not be known till $50 p.
m. whether their checks hav passed
through the bank all right or not. In
any case it will not affect the situation
materially. All the big houses needing
assistance have obtained it.
The checks of four minor stock ex-
change firms were returned. They were
all dealers in the American market and
there is still a chance that their friends
will come to their recue tonight, in
which case they will escape hammer
ing" tomorrow. The result of the wind
up of the settlement, with suspensions
of such small Importance, is regarded
in the market as being highly satisfac-
tory.

A NEW EXCITEMENT IN OHIO.

Love laughs at locks and snaps it's
Fingers in the face of parents and
supervisors. In Ohio is Muskin-
gum college, Il mixed affair where the
sexes attend, and with some usual re-
suits. In the scheme of studies-in the
curriculum there was no provision for
the little enterprise of god of love. But
he was not to be shut out by laws and:
regulations governing. Since Eve and
Adam walked amid the fields and flow
ers of Paradise and listened to the ca
rolling Of birds. this little god has been
on hand. and where two or three Of
both sexes meet often he is apt to be-
come active and do a little work of
his own by his ear-whisperings. Eros
is not so easily rebuffed and now the
bosses at Muskingum are perplexed
and amazed 1T the industry of the sly
little fellow and the victims tina have
fallen before his skillful archery. The
-co-edUcaIional crowd stand aghast
They had theories. but no calculations.
1t was just a great and proper thing 20
turn the young women and men to-
-gether in studies and social amenities.
and there could no possib e a. va ice
or harm come from the pleasant, oft
repeated chats and compliments. But
-alasi THE best aid plans of mice and
men aft gang agiey." No love making
was allowed in the halls and groves
and rooms of Muskingum. There has
been love making, a runaway. a mar
riage and a. return. The faculty are
up in arms AT the impudeace of Eros,
frown Indignantly upon the soft, loving
.culprits. They shall be expelled, anu
this stirs profoundly their classmates
who deeply sympathize with the very
natural and engaging conditions. The
prospect of a general revolt in the
grad ating class is imminent. An &C
count says, and j. it really looks as if
Curid would win the day even over the
obdurate hearts Of the stern admins
traitors.
IF the bride goes so Go We, declare
her fair sisters Of tn. co educational
heroin. and in ..anly chorus the bro
fheis f the bridegroom assert that
they Q care e fig for a diploma If
to secure IL they have to assent to the
penalty imposed upon the most gal
liant Of their number.
with such answering loyalty to the
teachings Of the merry -noer of tbs
Muskingum faculty whose name does
not appear on the catalogue, there is
every reason TO believe thai the COM
nencement will take place as usual
when the June roses bloom and that
the fair bride and sturdy groom will
have front seats at the festivities"

A very serious riot occurred at De-
triot. Michigan on the 10th. The dis
patch Of that date says:
Fully 10000 men and BOYS ran riot
in the main streets Of this city for
more b three hours tonight. and a
cntinual running fight with police,
mounted and on foot, created great
excitement. The net result so far as
known. is that II citizens and 5 police
men are injured. Two of the citizens
are Mike Waldin and Louis Caplin.
Both men had their heads crushed by
being trampled on by horses ridden
by the mounted police in a charge on
the crowd"
The riot grew out Of the action of
Chief Policeman Andrews who would
not allow one Tom Bawden, a local
single-tax exhorter, who had incurred
the ill will Of the police director by the
extraordinary allure of his remarks
on 'so-called wealthy tax dodgers.
When Bawden began his exhortation
last night a crowd gathered to prevent
him from pursuing his vocation. It
does not take UP much in the uppos
calm, just, unexcitable north to raise
a row and smash heads.

special Meeting of the second Rexi-
ment Band Last Night to Decide
whether to eco h ReGimental
Band OF the second Regiment.

A special meeting Of the Second Reg
iment band was held last night at the
band room, in the city hall building. to
consider the proposition TO enlist as
the regimental band Of the Second Reg
iment North Carolina state guard, IN
accordance with the plans laid down
at the meeting of military officers n
a number OF the members OF the band
on Tuesday night at the armory OF the
Wilmington Light Infantry.
There was a large attendance OF the
members of the band last night and
among those present, was Mr.. James
w. Monroe, the president, who. though
incapacitated On account of affiiction.
yet AXE a very deep interest in the
band.
Mr.. r. b. Glove. vice president of the
band, called the meeting but as he was
not present, Mr.. c. II. O'Berry, the
drum major, presided and stated that
the object of the meeting was to decide
whether the band shall become the reg
mental band of the Second Regiment
under the purpose Of the state military
authorities to equip a band for each of
the three regiments of the state guard.
Vice President Glove came into the
meeting meanwhile and participated.
Mr.. E. Schulken moved that this band
become the regimental band of the
Second Regiment, but Mr.. w. w. Hold
ges raised the point of order that no
motion of that kind could commit the
band as a whole, Is each individual
member would have I decide for him
self whether to become a OF
the regimental band or not.
After discussion, it was decided as the
sense of the meeting that this band
shall maintain its existence as at pres
ent but that any member may join the
regimental band.
With this as the understanding. the
meeting adjourned.
1t is understood that most of the
members will go into the regimental
band.

Helen A. Smith has written a book
called. we believe. THE Thirteen Colo.
MES" We know nothing of it beyond
the description we see referred to, and
an extract from what she has written,
concerning the pioneers in North Car
DINA. She paints early life in this col
ony as hard and much less promising
han it was in Virginia and South Car
DINA. A northern notice of her book
says of this colony:
From glimpSes here and there in
her pages we CLEAN that there was not
only less town life. but less social unity
and aristocratic feeling here than in
any other colony. Few were the large
plantations with a mansion and a rich,
well-educated master, and many were
the small farms n rud cieaIiuSS
worked after a fashion by the women
rather than the men, by black slaves,
or poor, indentured white servants.
There were not enough slaves to de-
velop the executive ability shown by
the rich planters of Maryland, Virginia
and South Carolina"
That may rue in part. In the Eden
ton n Cape Fear sections this sort
Of writing will hardly fit. She makes
u a bad condition for those living
near h water. Here is her real or
fancied sketch of early lynchings in
North Carolina:
Many differences were set, led by
Judge Lynch: h more formal courts
were held in tavernS, where the tedium
of business was relieved by glasses of
grog. while the judges decisions were
not put on record, but were simply
shouted by the crier from the inn door,
or at the nearest market place."
Where she gathered her material is
not known to Us. Some writer's have a
way of drawing on their imaginations
for their facts.
