isfactory shape. While there may
be some question as to whether a
modification of the laws Of the
District Of Columbia Is one OF the
exlgent duties of the mocfacy of
San Francisoo, we are pleased to
see that the HERALp's favorite
idea Of the absurdity of the insani-
ty plea In cases OF murder has been
cordially adopted by so large pro-
portion Of our fellow-cit Gems oi
California. The fact Is that 1t IL

pre- cisely the same treatment that

phistical evasion Of common sense.
We have grave misgiviugs, how
ever, that neither the Democracy
Of San Francisco nor the HERALD
will succeed In effsoting any great
innovation on our present vicious
system. As to making one law for
u President, and another for a
Sheriff, or a Constable, or a private
citizen, We decidedly object.
Neither when Lieutenant Ran.

nose when the latter was sick and
aged, nor when Lawrence fired his

grounds, did jackson or his friends

exemplified at Rochester, New

pistol used by Guiteau show 1t to
have been a very formidable
weapon-so formidable, Indeed, as
to make it almost absolutely cer-
tain that the ball struck no vulnei i.

was telegraphed all over the United
States as little better than boy's
toy pistol. From fr.t to last
there has been an uni ustif1 able
trlding with the facts OF the case.
A single bulletin daily, couched in
the language Of a skillful physi-
clan, would have been a blessed
exchange for the contradictory
stuff the people have had to read
daily for more than three weeks.
Only the other day there was talk
by Telegraph of removing the con.

just as the American people had
settled down to the pleasant con-

change decidedly for the worse.

Many of them are too honest to
ever be caioled into the support Of a
regulating ticket and much depends,
for the future welfare of the State,
upon their decision.
For years past, tho failure to set
tie this debt has presented all invit-
ing field for spectators. They have
seen in the division in public senti-
ment a fine opportunity to bull or
bear State bonds, as suited their pur
poses, and have made good deal Of
money out of it. They have not ''lost
their grip yet, and will manipulate
the different factions. so long
as Democracy controls the
state, so as to make
it profitable. Their handiwork may
been seen in the efforts to defeat the
proposition passed by the Legislature
Unless the Supreme Court settles the
question, it will be the all-absorbing
topic in the campaign of next sum
mel If the spectators are bears,
as they will probably be, they will
throw the weight of their influence
with the party which opposes a

THERE is story atioat to the effect
that the President, a short time
since, wrote letter to Dir. Wayne
MaeVeagh, for the purpose of inns
pressing upon his mind the import
ance of remaining in the Office of
Acknowledgement until the Star
Route prosecutions commenced un
der his administration were disposed
of. The story goes that the Presi-
dents letter was very courteous, con-
tanning nothing at all Objectionable
or offensive, and Mr.. MacVeagh re-
piled in an exceedingly ill-natured
and discourteous tone, which was
unjust to the President and far
more uni ust to himself. The
President is not alone in the be
lief that when requested to do
so, Mr.. MacVeagh should have re-
manned in hi. office until these i'm
portant cases were disposed of. So
far as the public knows, he had no
reason to doubt that the President
would cordially cooperate with him
an these prosecutions.
But even if he had made up his
mind on the subject, and had deter
mined to retire and subject himself to
the charge of Sinking his plain duty,
he ought to have written courteous
reply to courteous letter from the
President of the United States This

RORDE4IA AND ITS WINES,

In the United States Bordeaux is bet
ter known by its wines than by its poEti-
cal or religious history. In its vicinity,
between the broad and deep Garonne
and the sea, lies the most celebrated
wine district in the world. This is the
famous Medoc region, and contains the
world-renowned Chateau Margau1, Cha
teau LItitte, st. Estephe, ST. Julien and
Macon vineyards. Probably no other
territory of equal size, not even amid
the gold and diamond field, has pro-
duced more, if so much, wealth as this.
The Bordeaux wines, indeed, have en-
riched France more than any other one
interest. For table use, when pure,
they are probably the best in existence,
fact which dealers here tell me the
Americans know well how to appreciate.
There is striking and singular differ
ence, however, between Bordeaux on the
banks Of the Garonpe and Bordeaux on
( the banks Of some other rivers.
/ The great wine vaults of Bordeaux are
/ interesting. Through the courtesy Of a
friend was permitted to descend into
one of them. The experience of going
through that cellar is, as an Irishman
would say, much like that of passing
through the catacombs of Rome, only
different. The vaults are two stories
! deep, one series under the other. Most
of the wines in store are in bottles,
placed on iron racks, and laid upon theil
sides, in order to prevent the admission
of air through the corkage. Many Of
the racks are overspread with fungus
which grows in such places in very curl
Gus forms, and without any apparen
moisture to nourish it. In many Of tn,
racks the bottles had lain for ten, twenty
and even thirty years untouched. Thu
vine in casks is racked off at certain IN
tervals in order to eliminate the sedi
ment. -CincinuaH Gazette.

THE SITUATION.

The Democratic party Ill Tennes~
see is now divided into three sepa-
rate factions. One faction. and
numerically considered, the strongest
perhaps, is led by Col. John H.
Savage, d. L. Snodgrass and MIR.
Wilson, late reputation candidate
for Governor They are opposed to
the settlement of the debt at any
figure until it has first been submit
ted to the people and ratified by
them at the ballot-box. ii the peo-
pie vote in favor of a settlement they
say they will acquiesce in it, but
as for themselves, they would prob
ably vote against the payment of
anything except what they call the
State debt proper, which amounts to
about two millions. They are a
noisy and aggressive faction. They
profess to be the friends of the peo-
pie, and look upon all who disagree
with them as public enemies.
There is another faction which
may be called g thermometers. They
look with more concern upon the
preservation of harmony in the
Democratic party than they do upon
any damage the State may sustain
from a loss of credit. They are
willing to,favor any measure or do
anything that promises to harmonic
the different factions. If it is re-
pudiation, they would favor that. If
it were the payment Of the entire
State debt with & per cent. interest,
they would favor that. But they
will be found between the two ex-
tremes. They are opposed to the
1908 plan, but would favor 50-4, or
something like it. The debt is to
them secondary consideration. 1t
is harmony in the party that they are
after. They are not so noisy as the
Sayage~Wilson faction, but are dis
tingrlished by their sorrowful express
sions. They are grieved to the bottom
of their souls at the want of harmony.
in the party. This faction is repre-
scented in the press of the State by
the World, the new Democratic daily
at Nashville. 1t puts in its heayes
blows in favor of harmonizing th'
Democracy.
Then there is still another faction
made up of earnest, conscientious
zealons State credit men. In thi
faction is to be found the best ele
ments OF heparty, then who give
character and responsibility at hom
aud abroad. Although in the minority
they are men of weight and nhuenc
