New York Letter In the Atlanta Constitution.
George w. Perkins, who died last week,

death. He was the controlling spirit in the
brilliant Richmond and Danville campaign

of the Georgia Pacific scheme sold his Dan

Perkins brothers, all of whom were bankers.

An Unsociabie Comet.
New York Herald. ;,

The great comet that has illuminated the
morning sky for some months has been of so
much service to men who like excuses for
staying away from home that its departure
bss caused much regret, and its early reap
pearanee has been earnestly hoped for.
Recent calculations, however, have fixed ats
period at S52 Il years, so it will be of no more
use, practically, 10 the present generation.
This Information will be cause of much
grief. and the demand for new excuses will
suddenly become very brisk. Ii science has
any heart, any compassion for the weak
nesses of poor human nature. persistent
effort will be made AZ once TO discover q new
comet big enough to require an all night
observation to see the whole of it.

Ben Butler Knows How to Dress Himself
springfield Republican


The society of prigs OF the New York
papers are shocked because Gov. Butler ap-
pesred at MONDAY in a swallow-railed coat
and full evening dress 1t is melancholy
that the swarm Of new rich which set the
fashions of New YORK have Obliterated the
memory of the fact that the full dress is the
proper apparel for all high public occasions
and duties. 1t is only in recent years that
Conkling has presumed to appear before the
Supreme Court of the United States in a
bob-tsiled sack of pepper and salt color.
In Massachusetts most of the sheriffs still
wear a navy blue swallew-tail and buff vest,
both with brass buttons. bearing the EN-
blem of Massachusetts,. Before the Supreme
Court of this State it is still customary for
lawyers of the old school to appear in full
dress, the same in which Webster always
appeared in the Senate of the United States.
Gov. Butler followed the custom of his pre-
decessors in being inaugurated in a swallow
tail.

The Pendleton Bill.

a Washington special of the Sth to the
Chicago Times says:
The views OF Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.. McDonold
on the Pendleton civil service bill, expressed at
indianapolis last Thursday and printed here to
day, excited great deal of comment among
Senators aud Representatives These views even
among Democrats who voted for the PendletC
bill meet with approval. A good many Democrats
begin To feel that they were too hssty in voting
for il. Leading Republicans regard the bill as
farce Secr-tary FOlger at dinner last Saturday
gave IL as his opinion that the country would be
siCg of the PendletOn bill. He saw enough of
competitive examinations. he seid in the New
York Custom House. Men who were well quail
fed for the duties required of them were IN al
most every instance beaten In the examination By
men who had no fitness whatever for the place
they aspired to fill. Among his party associates
Mr. PendletOn does not get many congratulations.

general election, aud for the verifcation OF
our figures we challenge records. We as
sumo, therefore, that those who favor
submitting the amendments at a
special rather than a general election are
willing. in fact anxious, TO ignore at least
80, 600 of the voters of Indiana, and change
the Constitution by minority rather than
by majority of the votes of the people.
We do not believe the Legislature will favor
the special election proposition, nor that
men of sound judgment of any party will
favor such q departure from Democratic
principles. II the Constitution is to be
changed, in the name of right and justice,
popular sovereignty and the well-Seing oil
society. let il be changed by a majority in
