If he has a worthless son, guilty OF
plantation manners he is, un,
fortunately for the South and other
parts Of the country also, not the
only father who has q son for whose
support he must provide.
What we understand by ''planta-

bully who enforces his opinions by
the. arts Of a, bully. The man who
carries a pistol in hiship pocket with
which to shoot any other man who
fails to agree with him on political
questions is guilty Of what we I'M
lderstand Z to be "plantation man
ners." The young man who,
after Vhe9 arrives % at the
years of maturity, and is
physically able to support himself,
but who earns very little and spends
what he does earn for whisky, cigars
and fine clothes, sponging upon his
old father for the balance of his Nv
ing, is also guilty Of plantation
manners The Prodigal Son was an
instance. He wasted the substance
of the old man in riotous living,
spending agreat deal Of his time in
talking politics, doubtless. When
his boots ran down at the Eheel and
the seat and knees of his pants and
the elbows of his coat needed patch"
ing, and his landlady where he lodged,
and his tailor refused to credit
him tor another red cent until the
old score was paid up, he returned
and acknowledg ed the error of his
way. But, while he was living
fast, smoking cigars, drinking
whisky, talking politics and carry
Ing pistols at' somebody else's sex-
pense, and any one alluded to his
"plantation manners" his broth
ers, who were at home working
for an honest living, never thought
of getting angry and applying the
remark-to themselves. ,,saff

The object Of this paragraph is

We do not believe, however, that

Senator Morgan'S son, the writer in
the Tribune tries to make, us ap. /

word about Senator Morgan. He
has son, to whom he has given the
position of clerk to the committee
of which he is chairman, and this

BISHOP GILBERT HAVEN, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, died
at his mothers residence near Bos-
ton last Saturday evening He has
been confined to his bed some time
and the news of his death is not
unexpected. He wasborn at Mall
den, Massachusetts, in 1921. In
his boyhood he engaged in mercar-
tile business but soon abandoned
that, started to school and graduated
at the r. Wesleyan University at
Mildletown, Connecticut, in 1916.
lie entered the itinerant ministry of
the M. E. Church in 1861, and was
elected Bishop by the General
Conference of his church, at Brook
lyn, in 1872 % s&.J s'H
Bishop Haven was man ofstrone
convictions Contrary to the opin-
ion Of many, he was kind-hearted
and tookgreat interest in whatever
in his opinion pertained to the i'm
provement Of the condition of the
human race. bH His sympothies we're
always d with the oppressed and
down.trodden. He did and said
many things Of which we never ap,
proved, but he was a great and good
man. He will be missed by his
church and by the country at large.
