United States Judge Pritchard has
enjoined the state of North Carolina
from enforcing the two cent railroad
law until the courts shall decide
whether the rate is fare and just or
Mooafcatory." These United States
judge seem to render decisions with
out fear of Edgar Howard's displea-
sure ana criticisms.
Many newspapers in this state are
inding fault with the primary law as
passed by our last legislature, claim
ing it to be expensive, complicated
and not suited to conditions in this
state. If the law has any friends and
admirers among the newspapers, they
should point out its advantages and
good points, and not merely make
sinning remarks about those who
critcue the law.
Hoke Smith, who was in Grover
Cleveland's cabinet, has just been in
augarated governor of Georgia. He
is often mentioned as a possible candi
date for president on the democratic
ticket In his inaugural address he
favors the disfranchisement of the en
tire negro race. Ii he should be the
democratic nominee he would be sure
of the solid south, except Missouri,
but so would any other man.
Some of the leading democratic
papers of the states are advocating
the calling of democratic state con
vention before the September primary
is held. After endorsing the primary
bill so strongly, why do these papers
want to have a state convention call

one called for the purpose of selecting

It is now five years since ruaal free
delivery was established. from Colum
bus, for three routes were established
Julyl. 1902. Two of the original
carriers are still in the service. They
are Wm. D. Benson and Harry B.
Reed, but in place of drawing $50 a
month at which salary they commen
ced, they are now getting $75 a month,
but their routes have been lenghtened
to about thirty miles, and they earn
every dollar they get Columbus has
six routes uow. Some people have
an idea that rural free delivery is an
injury to the town, but experience
has proven that such is not the case
It is certainly a great convenience and
comfort to farmers, and the fact that
a certain, farm was supplied with
rural delivery service increased the
value of the farm $5 an acre; It has
also been demonstrated that rural de
livery is no particular benefit to cata
log houses, but increases the amount
of mail and especially daily papers,
handled by the post office.

If a populist is ashamed to have his
name on a democratic ticket, ana a
democrat is ashamed to have his name
on a populist ticket and some want
their names on both tickets, it strikes
us that Junkin will get them junked
up about right beforeNhe leaves the
stage of action. Junkin says, if the
democrats want a populist on their
ticket they have got to so manifest by
a list of subscribers to that effect, like
wise if the populists want a democrat
to grace their ticket they must give the
necessary evidence. This plan does
not necessarily annihilate either party,

Secretary Junkin does not say he will

If there is going to be three parties,
let there be three parties. If not, let
the third party sink itself and not try

a populist is a true populist he cannot

IN FAR OFF MARS.
People of Planet Hoarding Every Drop
of Water.
While the people on the planet of
Mars are supposed to be vastly super
lor In every way to the inhabitants
of this earth, according to Prof. Lest
er F. Ward, of Brown university, they
have only about l.OOOCOOO more yean
to live, while the people of this world
are only beginning their allottee
space of 24.000.000 years.
Thirst will kill the Martians, the
professor says, and even now It Is dry
time perpetually up there. Most ol
the waters that once covered every
thing have vanished in the same wa
that this planet Is all the while losing
hydrogen, one of the two components
of water. This process has proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment of its inhabitants, assum
lng it has such, is confined to narrowi
circles about the two poles. It te
made available for the uses of th
Martians only by means of an Intri
cate network of canals. s
"On Mars we can. as It were, see
with our own eyes a race of vast an
tiquity and supreme wisdom, clinging
desperately to the orb that bore It
half gasping for breath, and hoarding
every drop of its precious water, but
doomed in the relatively near future
to face the lingering death of a dying
world."
This gloomy picture; Prof. Ward
says. Is In store for the people of thle
earth, but there Is no need of worry al
the present time, as it is 24.000.006
