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 favorite method employed by the fishermen in this section of coast waters is to catch the silver fish where the waters eddy, and when the gleaming fin would break the surface to plunge a grain just abaft the dorsal and let go. This was sport, and when you consider the fact that the men, usually fished in small the performance may well be called dangerous. I became quite expert at this, and would go at the tarpon with all the temerity and sangfroid of an old never, however, succeeded in gaining a silver fish. is not the story I want to tell, however. One morning when I was about two miles from shore, right out to sea, I cast my lines and the Spanish mackerel began biting like mad. My hands were blistered, 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 worse as I noticed a drift- seaward and that the sun was falling.

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 on May expected that a full bench will sit on that date, everybody is trying to discover some method of ascertaining how Justice Jackson vote, as his vote is likely to be the deciding one as to and if favor- able thereto, as to the of tho law.

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. Jno. B. Eaves- association ENDORSED.
