The republicans of North Carolina have refused to fuse with the popu lists. Two years ago the populists helped boost the republican party into office in that state. If silver is to be the issue in this campaign then there is no need of a third or populistic party in this state.

The editor of the Kansas City Sunday Sun is in iail at St Joseph and the chances are that he will pay the debt of slandering a number of good people of that town through his vile sheet, with a term in the penitentiary. Joseph Van Wye, an agent of the paper, was a short time aso. convicted of circulating the paper in St. Joseph and given two years in the pen.

D. A. DeArmond is certain to be re-elected. He will not only get every democratic vote in his district, but some republican votep; and very many populists will vote for him The latter know they stand no ghos of a show of electing their own can didate. They also know that De Armond has been consistent, con etant and true on the money ques tion, and hence they are not going to throw away their votes. Rich Hill Review. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wyatt, who nave been sojourning in soutnern California, have returned home. Their outing 'was as pleasant as they could have wished and both enjoyed the best of health. Mr. Wyatt Bays it is a most delightful country to visit but he had no desire to adopt it as a home. Except where irrigat ed the country is barren and unfit or agricultural purposes. During their stay they met a number of old acquaintances, among whom were Hiram and Ed Boyd, Mrs. Zombro, Mrs. Lide Henry, Mrs. benbner, sis ter of Judge Robards of this city. and also Geo. Page, brother of Win age, of this place. Mr. Wyatt said Mrs. Henry and two sons were well, but he thought she had a longing desire to return to old Bates, the and of big corn and red appleB Mrs. Zambro has two sons and both are doing well: one is manager of a bank and quite well-to do, the other 8 manager of a large hotel. Hiram Boyd spends his time raising flow ers and is doing quite well. While at sandiego Mr. Wyatt went ona deep water fishing excursion and had a day of fine sport. He said he unreeled a line and pulled a string of ten fish, good size, from a depth of 600 feet. These fish are peculiar in that being drawn from their na ive home in the deep they cannot proper credit for same tf.

We learn from J. B. H. McDaniels that an attempt was made Thursday or Friday night last to poison grand pa Lindsay W me, of Lone Oak town ship, by administering Pans green The old man was asleep at the time and instead of the poison going down his throat ran over his face. The old gentleman was not aware of the fact that an attempt had been made on his life until morning when he was met at the door by his son, ho aecosted him in the fol lowing language: 'rap, what is the matter with your face, it has turned green" The old maa put bis hand to his face and found the skin burnt and peeling off, and going to the glass was horrified to find the boy had told the truth as to his condition. Ihere was rio one at home during the night said Mr. McDaniel but the family, Mrs. Wine and the eon and daughter-in law, and just how or by whom the at tempt to poison the old man was made is a mystery, which the neigh bors will make an effort to ferret out.

Once upon a time a mamma lion was reproached by some mother more prolific because of the small ness of her litter of babies. 4Yes," replied the queen of beasts grimly, "Only two but they are lions. Missouri had only two ex Judges in her great delegation Fyan and DeArmond but they are brave as lions and would do honor to any state. Judge DeArmond was a member of the Judiciary committee and ranks among the ablest lawyers in the house. He enjoys the respect ef all who know him except Wash ington City residents. They hate him exceedingly, because he has an old fashioned idea that those who do the dancing should pay the piper and he can't get it through Dis lumin ous mind why a man in Bates coun ty, Missouri, should be taxed to pave a street in Washington City. Conse quently he is a standing obstacle to the appropriations for the district of Columbia. This, though a grave fault in the eyes of Washingtonians, might be condoned if he did not in sist on moving the National Capital to the banks of the Mississippi: which is the unpardonable sin in the eyes of the denizens of that delect able city. If they should have a voting con test there to decide who is the most unpopular man in Congress it would be neck and neck between DeAr mond and Dookery. But I guess they can bear it with cheerful equa nimity so long as their constituents stand by them with the fidelity of Napoleon's Old Guard. I had known for years that DeAr mond was a fine lawyer, for I had read his decisions and Judge Sher wood had told me so. Any lawyer upon whom Sherwood sets the teal of his approbation has somethiog in him, dead sure. It is better than a patent of nobility. But I never dreamed that this quiet and indefat igable student possessed phenom enal powers of withering sarcasm and scorching invective until I heard him flay a distinguished Congress man alive one morning about 14 months ago. It was an eye opener to everybody in the house except John T. Heard, who had served with DeArmond in the state senate and who had heard him da some skin ning before That 10 minute speech taught all inspiring statesmen there abouts that DeArmond is a danger ous customer to tackle as more than one has learned to his everlast ing sorrow. Thursday night last week a young - . r tt 1 1 - . man walKea into ai. nun s store at Metz, and called for a piece of tobacco. Mr. Hurt cut it off and when he turned to hand it to the customer he was confronted with a pistol a-'d a demand to hand over the cash o-t hand. Mr. Hurt com plied and gave him 4 50.
