~Every one has heard the old
saying oWhen thieves fall out
honest men get their Jue.� The
State is just now witnessing &
spectacle that calls this saying to
mind. The Republicpn party,
the recognized corruptionists ard
spoils hunters, has been almost
beside itself since coming in to
victory on Populist shoulders at
the last election. The scramble
for office and the eagerness to get
orelief� has been 890 fierce amcng
the fusionists that one disgrace-
ful feature has followed another
faster than could be enumerated,
The greedy pie hunters in their
scramble for spoils have fallen out
with each other and begun to ex-
pose each other's rascality.
Otho Wilson and Marion Butler
have been indulging in some
slashes that promise to grow stil!
more interesting, and Governor
Russell and H. L. Grant have
gone to talking about one anoth-
erTs ogeneral cussedness� and
using such compliments as Hes-
gian, skunk, sneak, traitor, and
the hke. And this is the gang
tha me white men in North
Carolina helped to put in office.
General Demand for Postal Banks
No propobition that has come
before the people of late years
has received such general and
hearty approval from the press
of the entire country as the plan
for the establishment of postal
savings banks. Not only do the
big dailies of the cities as a rule
approve of the agitation, but the
newspapers in the smaller towns
almost without exception com-
wend the movement.
While the commenis in the
newspapers of the north and west
are most nunerous, the press of
the east and south is by no means
backward in supporting the agi-
tation.. Occasionally an old time
Democratic paper of the south
opposes the plan on the ground
that it 1s not the function of the
government to do anything more
than collect the reyenues and
protect life and property. These
are the extreme representatives
of the school which holds that
that government is best which
goyerns least. But for the most
part the papers of the south sup-
port the mcyement for postal
_ banks, and call attenticn to the
especial need for them in that
ection of the country, where
banks of all kinds are scarce and
where places of safe deposit for
small savings are very far apart.

Cut Postage Stamps in Half.
oSometimes we find that people
have cut stamps in half when
they want one of half the denom-
ination.� said the redheaded
postal clerk in charge of the od-
dities of mailing matter, as he
entered in his ounmailable list�
eggs, bacon, cucumbers an entire
goose, 4 ratTs head and some bug
poison, according to the Chicago
Times Herald.
oYou would expect that the
people who do that would be
immigrants with the odor of the
steerage atill clinging in their
clothes. Itisbyno means the
case. Now, hereis a letter bear-
ing the half of a four cent stamp,�
sowing an enyelope addressed
in such a precise hand that indi-
cated a New England ongin. I
notified the sender by the ad-
dress in the corner ot the enve-
lope that her letter was being
~held upT and when the next day
1 saw a@ little, white haired old
lady in black come briskly in I
guessed correctly that she had
come for this letter. When I
told her that it had not gone
because of a mutilated stamp she
looked surprised even when I
showed her the enyelope. In a
sweet, gentle. but protesting way
she insisted that the stamp was
not mutilated"that having no 2
cent stamp shehad cut a 4 cent
stamp in two"and she added
reproachfully that she was sorry
that there had been any dolay !
oTf you had a $10 bill would
you expect to tear 16 into tenths
and haye the pieces each buy a
dollarTs worth of dry goods ?�
oShe paid her 2 cents with the
air of the woman forced to keep
dress goods she soiled when she
knows she can get the Same thing
for less money across the str-et,
but gaid, scornfully: oThis must
bea dreadfully unaccommodating

to the Chicago Times"Herald.
oNo. But this is the season of the
year when the mountain lion and the
bald eagle are about, and they might

oThatTs so� said his wife earnestly,

and has been. so unsatisfactory
that even the men who elected
him have repudiated him. Bat
what else could haye been ex-

So unpopular and unsatisfac-
tory has Governor Russell be-
come that the most influential
members and papers of his own
party are repudiating him. They
should be held responsible for
his acts, because they well know
that, if they do, certain defeat
awaits them at the next election.
But can the Kepublican party by
thus repudiating Gov. Russell
avert their defeat next year? Is
not that party responsible for his

a desolate appearance because the
odd corners and bits of ground are
left untilled and grow up in unsight-
ly weeds in summer and become
dreary and barren looking in the
winter. It is too often the case that
whatever plots of land are unsuit-
able for cultivation because of their
smallness or because inconveniently
situated are left in this wild condi-
tion and mar the effect of an other-
wise well kept farm or beautiful
home.
In a recent report on ~~Experi-
mental Farms,� issued by the Cana-
dian government, W. T. Macoun,
foreman of forestry, makes many
suggestions as to how these unsight-
ly spote may be made attractive and
productive. Mr. Macoun says: ~~No
matter how small the plot of ground
or haw situated, there is no reason
why it should be an eyesore. It is
this utilization of every nook, corner
and cranny and the making of two
blades of grass to grow where a
weed grew before that has made
rural England so beautiful to the eye
and so pleasing to the esthetic
sense. The agricultural and pastoral
landscapes in England, where the
little farms are ~green to the very
door,T have been described as ~jewel
scenery.T Theré seems to beno good
reason why the rural districts of
New Jersey, New York and of other
states could not be made equally at-
tractive and fruitful.TT
Mr. Macoun has utilized all of
these waste places about the offices
and buildings of the forestry depart-
ment at Central Experimental farm.
In his report he thus writes of the
improvement of these odd corners:
~The land adjacent to the office
and other buildings, which has been
devoted to the cultivation of orna-
mental trees and shrubs, looked bet-

What Each National League Club
Did in the Struggle Just Ended
The games in the West last week
brought the baseba.l season of 1897 to
acloge. As is always the case, the
friends ot the clubs which ~~also ran�
are advancing plenty of excuses why
their favorites did not win the penant,
after having made predictions before
the first bail was pitched that they
would capture the flag. If this bad
not occurred, or it that hed not hap-
pened, the standing of some of the
clubs, in the minds cf these Icyal
cranks, would be entirely different than
it is now.
The champion Bostons won the
greatest number of games, closely
pressed, however, by the Baltimore and
New Yorks. The schedule provided
for each ct the twelve teams to play
twelye games with every other team,
making 182 games for each team 1n all.
The Bostens, Cineinnatis Brooklyns,
Washingtonz, Clhicagos and £ hiladel-
phias managed to play their full quota.
The Baltimores and Louisvilles each
had two postpcaed games, and the New
Yorke, Clevelands, Pittsburgs and St.
Lonis one each.
Not aseries did the Bostons lose,
the nearest they came toit being that
wiih the Baltimores, from whom they
won six games, und to whom they lost
shows how closely the
six. Which
teams are matched. The Baltimores
won eigit series, lost one and ticd twa,
while the. and losi
two.
The New Yorks
which no cther team in the Leagve
did, and that was to take twelve yames
The victims were the
Giants won nine
did something
from one team.
St. Louis Browns, who were the only
ones not to capture a series. They
made a most remarkable record, losing
102 games, The nearest approach to
this was made during the double s2ason
of 1892, when the Baltimores lost 101
games; but they won 46, while the
Browns captured only 29,
Robbery at Falkland.
Sunday morning the front door and
back window cf the store of L. A.
Garber, of Falkland, were found cpen.
During the night betere some one had
been in the store. Severs] suits of
clothes were missing, most of them
youthTs sizes. On a fence near the vil-
lage a few ot the suits weretound and
in the woods a little further, some more
suits were picked up. It is thought che
thief selected a suit tor fit himself and
left the cthers, There were uo signs
of the door or window being b°oken
and the thief must have hid in the
store and been locked inside at the
time of closing,
