The Dog in Law.
Dogs have not the same property
value here that they have in Eng-
land, and this is so notwithstanding
the fact -that dogs are property here
and they are not property Eng-
land. This seeming paradox may
be explained from the fact that, ac-
cording to the old English laws,
was punishable by death. If
dogs had been property then, to
steal a dog would have been a
punishable by death. It was
not considered right that a man
should die for a dog, and therefore
dogs were held by the court not to
be property- There are foolish dog
laws in nearly every city and town
in the United States based on the
presumption that dogs are not prop-
but such laws would not stand
investigation and the interpretation
of the higher courts. A dog-catcher
who dogs and puts them to
death is acting without warrant of
law, whatever the local ordinance,
for property cannot be taken from a
citizen without giving him an

method employed by the fishermen
in this section of coast waters is
to catch the silver fish where the

fin would break the surface to plunge
a grain just abaft the dorsal and let
go. This was sport, and when

I was about two miles from shore,

and I could scarcely move in the boat
owing to vast of the
beauties which I had pulled in. I
rolled up my lines, settled myself
for a comfortable row back to shore,
and was knocked out to find that my
oars had dropped from the pins and
floated off. At first I felt amused at
predicament, but this feeling
changed to something like fear when
I ascertained that there was not a
piece of wood in the boat with which
could make a paddle, and I felt

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondent.
Washington, D. C. April 1895-
President Cleveland has right
to feel offended with any Demo
who believes that he con-
templates or has even
taking any step that would
even seem like an attempt to
coerce Federal officeholders into
advocating his view of financial
mutters. No one is- surprised
that Republicans should pretend
to believe the President has
such intentions ; they have always
misrepresented his acts as well as
hie intentions, but it is certainly
surprising that any Democrat, in
view of Mr. Cleveland's record on
the of office holders taking
active part in political matter,
should be willing to accept such
a story. President Cleveland
doesn't differ from other men. in
wishing to see his views on
or any other public
adopted by his party, but he
has no idea of asking or of allow
office holders to neglect their
legitimate duties i i order to ad-
his own or anybody else's
views on finance or any other
political subject-
The much talked about Alliance
will soon be satisfactorily
settled. Secretary Gresham this
weeK received a dispatch from
Minister Taylor saying the
Spanish government accede
to all of the demands of the
States in the Alliance affair,
that the captain cf the gun-
boat that fired on the Alliance
would be punished so doing.
Now that it has been settled
that the Supreme Court will lieu
arguments on tho petition for a
of the income tax cases

full bench will sit on that date,
everybody is trying to discover
some method of ascertaining how

vote is likely to be the deciding

Cleveland, during his
term-
EAVES MEANS
He Predicts That the Republicans
Will Abandon Fusion next year.
The following is a cony of a
letter written by Capt. Jno. B.
Eaves, ex-Chairman of the
State Executive Com
to Col. H. C- of
States , a member of a Nation-
Republican
Dear Sib. Your letter of a
few days ago in which you ask my
views in regard to several phases
of the political situation received-
The county government law
enacted by the recent Legislature
bears no similarity to that ex-
at the hands of the fusion-
The same fear and distrust
of the is evinced that has
always been shown by the Demo-
But the carry
this feature of the law further
even than the Democrats before
them. The election of three com
missioners is all right, but be-
comes a travesty upon local self-
government when it is made so
easy for the opposite political
party to cause the appointment
of two additional commissioners
whose power when appointed will
equal the power of the three
elected by the people. This Bin
peculiarity of the new law has
stripped it of every vestige of
kinship to that vouchsafed by
the Republican State platform, in
lien of which it is a mean and
cowardly excuse- The passage
of this law marks the end of
or co operation between the
Republican and Third parties in
North Carolina. Since fusion's
inception the Republicans have
made accessions in principle and
while the Populists
ave been the dictators- In the
State this was true to a marked
degree- Now it appears to be
encroaching upon the vital
of national Republicanism
as evidenced by the fact that some
Republicans are not scrupling to
lay aside the principles upon
which the national Republican
party has long been established
and according to which it has con
this government through
its greatest prosperity, to
place in their visionary
and extravagant plank of the
platform. I refer to
those Republicans who are
the idea of free silver.
The Republican will con-
to advocate faith
of the soundest kind, and those
who wish to be of the party must
do likewise. This government
no more coin silver free while
every other government of the
first class refuses and maintains a
gold standard than it can commit
any other absurd impossibility.
Under the present condition of
things the United States will be
safe financially only with gold as
a standard and silver coined as
fully as can be with a just parity
the two metals.
The next campaign will see the
Republicans of North Carolina
strictly in accordance with the
national prepared for a
straight tight in the State- In
no other way can the manifold
injuries already wrought by
be successfully overcome
In short this is the only policy
it one that will control
in this State henceforth. The
first work of the Republicans in
the State should be the
of the party on its
basis-
Very respectfully.

Worth Repetition.
It cannot be too often repeated
that and North Carolina
and South Carolina have the
great advantage over the other
tobacco States in making and
curing tobaccos. In
this we excel; for this tobacco
there is constant and profitable
demand It is therefore senseless
suicidal to attempt to com-

DEATHS.
Two Estimable Ladies Pane Away.
C. HAMILTON, JR.
Shortly after Mr- C
ten received the telegram from
Saturday afternoon,
announcing that Mrs. Hamilton
was growing worse, he received
another message bringing the
sad information that his wife
quietly away at half past
our o'clock- Mr. Hamilton left
for Sunday morning
and will take the remains to New
for interment- In his sore
bereavement Mr. Ham has
the warmest sympathy of a host
of friends here.
While living in Greenville Mrs-
Hamilton very greatly endeared
herself to our people and all
deeply regret her death. For
sometime she had been quite
sick with consumption and went
to Asheville a few weeks ago in
the hope that she would be bone-
fitted by the change.
MRS- NANCY SUGG-
Sunday morning at o'clock
at the home of her son-in-law,
Maj- Henry Harding, in this town
Mrs- Nancy Sugg fell peacefully
asleep in Jesus. She was the
devoted wife of Mr. B- H. Sugg
and was in her year, being
born Feb. 13th, 1814- She was
married to Mr- Sugg May 20th,
1840, their wedded life covering a
period of fifty-five years, lacking
a few days- They celebrated
their golden wedding five years
ago this May. Eight children
were born to them, four of them
now living. These are Col I. A.
Sugg, Messrs. F. J. L.
Sugg, Mrs- Henry Harding-
Mrs. Sugg was Miss
before
was an aunt of Revs. Jesse
W. L. of the N C
Conference. She joined the
Methodist church at an early age
and through life was
follower of her Savior. She was
a pure, noble
woman, came to the close
life in full realization of the Re-
presence with her and a
bright hope in the blessed
mortality beyond. She was con-
to the last, recognized the
of death, expressed
her readiness to meet the sum-
mons go to be with Jesus
