Judge Allen yesterday in the Circuit
Court sustained the demurrer of B. Kaugh-
mann Bros. TO the complaint filed against
them by H.. c. Lee. administrator of the
estate Of Will Firquin. deceased. who for
merly conducted a drug store at A North
Senate avenue. A judgment of $131.75 for
the ~kaughmanns was granted on their ac-
count held against the drug store. This
claim was disputed by the administrator
on the grouno that IL consisted of bottled
beer bills. which were not legal inasmuch
as the sale of beer in the drug store was
illegal and. therefore, the wholesaler was
a party to the illegitimate sale of liquor.
There are several other similar claims
against the estate and all of them have
been disputed or the grounds taken against
the k~aughmann claim.

The Banshee Cry.

When the great, gray fog rolled in
The cry came up from the sea;
Twas not the shrek of the wind-swept bird
Or the voice of human kind.
1t beat like a dead mans hand
On the easement he fain would find;
Three times IL came and went, three times I
quaked rs / heard
For you or for me. o'connell. is it for you
or me?
I flung the easement wide;
The gray fCg drifted through;
There was roar of the wind and wave
And never a sound beside.
1 pressed the cross to my heart
TilI my breast with the blood was dyed;
o, little the use to pray, little the time to rave
For you or for me, OCornell. is it for me
or you?
o Mary, Mary, Mother,
Which soul dost thou hold in fee?
Mine. the bride of a night and a day,
Priest-bound to a bond abhorred?
or the red O'Connell himself.
Chieftsin and master and lord?
/ have heard the banshee's cry, the death hooves
on their way
For you or for me. O'Connell, is it for you
or me?

"a Fakir's Cry."

The Washington Post. while taking issue
with The Star as to the sincerity Of the cry
Of negro domination, compliments Senator
Fritchard of North Carolina on his attitude
in the present campaign, and thinks it might
be copied elsewhere to advantage. The Star
has already compiimented Mr.. Pritchard on
the same subject, and did SO with all the
greater pleasure because of his we'll known
opinion of the cry IN question. He thinks
that the cry of negro domination Is "a
fakir's cry" and he has said so repeatedly

fakirs it Is difficult to define it. He has no
chance whatever of success at the polls

it is within his power to show that the dis
Reimbursement Of the negro in North Caro-
lima has not put an end to the 'faklr's
cry and that under the influence OF that
cry, and with the aid Of an elections law
framed to fit 1t, the same old elections re-
suits can be achieved.
In refusing admission to prominent negro
delegates to the republican state conven-
ton Mr.. Pritchard laid himself open to
some criticism. He owes his present promi-
renee and influence to the support of the
negroes Of North Carolina. His two terms
in the Senate have been secured with their
aid. They could not have been secured at
all without that aid. He has not changed
except in power and reputation since that
aid was first solicited, and the negroes have
rot changed since they first responded to
his appeal. 1t Is but fair to Mr.. Pritchard
therefore to assume that in barring the ne
had but the one aim in view, and that was
to give the democrats campaign entirely
on their own terms. As the negro would
not have appeared as factor on the repub-
Lean side, the democratic jorfty after be-
ing rolled up would stand nakedly for the
fact that the cry against the negro had
been dishonest one. To assume otherwise
would be to accuse Mr.. Pritchard of in
gratitude; of being willing to kick away
with contempt the ladder upon which he has
climbed to eminence. And ingratitude Is es-
pecially odious when exhibited toward the
weak and lowly.

The great moral force of Labor day
springs from its demonstration that human

Nj. Olney's Embarrassments.

Pity the embarrassments Of a dis
tinguished American statesman. The demo-
cratic party in Massachusetts, as elsewhere
is divided into two factions. The Bryanites
are led by George Fred Williams, a fam
boysnt individual full of language. The
anti Bryanites are led by Josiah Quincy and
Charles s. Hamlin and Col CASTOR. Then
there are factions within factions Mr.
Hanllin and Col. CASTOR both aspire to the
party's gubernatorial nomination An ef-
fort is on foot to bring the factions to-
gether, and to this end the services of Mr..
Olney are sought in connection with the
chairmanship Of the state convention. But
Mr.. Olney is reported as disinciined to help
out in that way He is probably not play
ing politics, for he has served no appren-
ticeship at that game. A safer interpreta-
tion of his present humor would appear to
be desire on his part to keep clear Of en-
tanglements he has had no part in bringing
about, and which are not likely to be cor
rected by anything that anybody may do In
this years contest. Mr.. Olney viii see his
