The trial of Ferdinand Ward was
notable for its judge as well rs It's pris-
Oner at the bar, and Judge Barrett's
methods might we'll be initiated by
other men who preside over courts.
He resisted all motions for delay,
rightly declaring that the trial had
been delayed unwarrantably already.
He also protected the witnesses from
the aspersiOns and badgering Of cOun-
sci. The latter abuse has become al
most unbearable in American courts
and it is high time that somebody set
the example of calling attorneys to
strict account for their uncalled-for
treatment of the men who are COM
PEELED TO give testimony through no
wish or desire of their own. The
badgering that witnesses often receive
is shameful.

thing, anything under the sun rather
than this old Internal political jargon.
Political calumny is unavoidable by
men who enter the field of party con-
tests. There is debasing quality in a
political life that has developed so rap
idly of late years as to have become
almost universal. 1t has developed
from nothing more nor less than per-
sOnal spite and hatred among the can
didates of the various parties, such
spites and hatreds as breed that vene-
nous worm, partisanism, and debase
politics rather than purify and exalt
them as they should ever be purified
and exalted but when that cOmmu-
nifty is as varied and general as that in
which the Whig is published then it is
becoming to take a neutral course and
endeavOr to satisfy the tastes and de-
sires of all by an equal division of the
columns to the use of matter touching
upon subjects for which those tastes
have an appetite"

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. The
elections yesterday in the several states
are indicated by the following brief re-
turns.
In New York the indications are
that the Democrats carry the State by
between 5000 and 10000, and that the
Legislature is Republican by 81 majoTi-
ty on joint ballot. The vote was
lighter than in 1884, the Republicans
losing by the stay-at-hOme vote.
The Republican plurality in Massa-
chusetts is between 10000 and 25, 600.
In Pennsylvania the plurality for
Quay (Rep.) is estimated at 10000.
Rowan, Republican candidate for sher-
itf Of Philadelphia, was elected by 12,-
600 majority, falling 5,756 behind his
ticket.
In New Jersey the Republicans have
made gains and carried the legislature.
The Democrats have made gains in
Connecticut, but the Legislature re-
mains Republican.
The Democrats in Virginia claims
Lees election by 10000 plurality.
Iowa has gone Republican by from
1900 to 10000.
In Maryland the Democrats have a
sweeping majority.

House Building and PAINTING

In the past generations persons in
building home had little regard to
other requisites except those of cOnve.
nience OF size and protection from the
elements. Efforts at architectural dis
play, decorated grounds, the display of
art i'll interior and exterior finish was
conceded as the exclusive right of the
rich-the nabObs. Hence in the towns
built 80 and 100 years ago there was an
utter pialnness of construction as if a
dry goods box had been taken for the
model; huddled close together on mar
row streets except the one or two or
possibly three residences of the veal
thy, who had followed an idea that had
been family pictured in reading some
story involving an old baron's castle.
While not being able to boast of the
latter, as with some of the southern
towns of our Peninsula, SMYRNA has
had the former to a degree that is now
past rectillcatiOn in her closely built
centre. The lines have been too well
LAID and the walls too firmly estab-
llshed even for modern art to make
any decided change, and we must look
to the new and wider streets to mt us
in harmony with the modern ideas of
in house building. As our built-up
streets radiate mainly from common
centre that Is in a measure finished. we
cannot present boulevarde," where
nearly ali the improvements are con-
centrated, as in some of the towns, but
rather they are scattered about on the
periphery, and have to be hunted at
the several points Of the COMPASS. If
all our modern dwellings that had
caught n suggestion Of the "renais-
sance style were on one street thew
would present very pretty thor
oughfare that would make a much
stronger impression on strangers than
they do in their scattered condition.
But it is not the buildings alone
however novel in architectural design
they may be, that attracts and holds
the eye rs does a beautiful landscape.

be allowed the comparison, a ladvis

At THE THEATEE.
The 1.-TWO Johns" Before a Brilliant
Audience.

The "Two Johns" Before a Brilliant
Audience.
The "Two Johns" was an uproarious
success last night. There is seldom seen
in Savannah a play with more fun
crowded into two hours and a half time.
The play tselfis little more than a farce.
Its only object is TO create a laugh. 1t is
light and breezy, and brim fun Of action,
bounce and merriment. 1t is made up Of
some Of the strongest situations imagi-
nable, that never fail to conyulse the au-
dieuce.
The Theatre was crowded in spite Of
the rain, which fell necessarily, and
from the moment the curtain arose
until the end of the comedy the en-
thusiasm Of the audience had tull express
sion I'M unstinted laughter and hearty ap-
plause. Two johns is by far the
funniest play that has been seen III
savannah this season. Every appearance
and movement Of the two fat favorites,
Hart and Stewart, was the signal
for an outburst. One OF
them tips the scales at $50 pounds and the
other falls little short of 800. The two
together are a solid pair. Their success
as actors is remarkable. The company
throughout is good. The singing of Miss
Emiiy Northrop and Miss Georgia
Conalline, and Nlessrs. Archer and
Lebensburg, in the second act, was
excellent. Miss Northrup has sweet
voice, and her singing and acting We're
greatly admired. Miss Conalline is a
graceful actress, and has a clear, rich
contralto voice. The appearance of Miss
Augusta Chambers as "Mrs. Rasher,D
the elderly aunt Of 1.-The Two Johns"
was the signal tor an outburst of
applause. Miss Chambers friends We're
all over the house. throughout the entire
play she was enthusiastically pplauded.
Apleasant feature Of the performance was
the presentation bv her friends Of a beau
tiful basket Of flowers. Upon her ap.
pearance in the beginning Of the first act
the basket was handed upon the stage
and presented without fOrmality. 1t was
beautiful collection and a graceful
compliment. Accompanying it was a
card with the inscription, "Miss Augusta
Chambers, from her friends and the mem.
bers Of the Ford Dramatic AssociatIon.'
The play will be repeated at the matt
nee to-day and the engagement will close
tonight.
