The Mugwump journals insist that
they are not responsible for the defeat Of
the Republican ticket in New York. They
charge the defeat to the account of 1.-The
frothy Foraker, the scheming sherman,
and the loud-mouthed Logan. who were
imported to fiaunt the dead and gone
issues, and 10 seek TO rake one more vic
tory out or the ashes Of past conflict"
The Republicans don't charge their de-
feat to the loss Of the Mugwump vote.
They do not believe that the Mugwumps
are worth looking after. They content
themselves with sneering at them, and
with twitting them with the suggestion
that Mr.. Davenport would have done a
great deal better il they hadn't supported
him, because their support drove thou
sands Of voters away from him. 1t drove
voters away from him, they say, because
il was alleged that il be were elected be
would be controlled by the Magwumps.
The Democrats make all the fun they can
Of the Mugwumps because the Mug
wumps boosted that they regulated the
political affairs OF New York. and that,
having elected MIR. Cleveland Pres-
dent they would defeat Mr.. Hin, because
he didn't come up to their idea OF re-
former.
The Mugwumps find no consolation
anywhere, and while there is doubtless
great deal of truth In the reason they
give for Mr.. Dayenport's defeat, there IL
no evidence anywhere yet that their sup
port did Mr.. Davenport any good. or that
their opposition did GOV. Hill any harm.
II is probable that the Mugwump will
disappear from politics before the next
Presidential election.

Atlanta's Divided Camp.

The prohibition question is giving At
lanta lively shake-up. The people are
divided into two hostile camps. The pro-
hibition and the prohibition workers
are abroad, and the patience of the quiet
and peace-lOving citizen is sorely tried by
the pulling and hauling Of the adherents
and opponents Of king alcohol. Every
man who has a vote will perhaps be al
preached, If he has not already been, and
coaxed or bulhed into taking one side or
the other. There is no middle ground.
Those who get astride the fence will be
required to get down on one side or the
other. AS the campaign grows hotter the
d1ubters Will find themselves the objects
of suspicion. They will be regarded as
unworthy to be trusted, because it will be
understood that they are trying to curry
favor with both sides. They will be
sneered at and derided for their want OF
courage. They will be charged with think
ing more of few dollars than OF great
principles.
Those who ought to lead must lead or be
condemned as unworthy OF leadership
The record they make now must be the
record by which they must he judged in
the future. The time has come when it is
to be determined whether those who have
essayed to lead public opinion in Atlanta
are the real leaders. If they take back
seats now they ought to be required to re-
main in the back seats. To be on no side
is more discreditable than being on the
wrong side, because the purpose of play
ing the part of neutral is TO deceive both
/ sides.
The contest in Atlanta will be watched
with great interest throughout the State.
/ The prohibitionists are anxious to know
/ whether the capital of a State, three
| fourths OF the counties of which have de-
/ ciared for prohibition, has the moral
strength to array itself on the prohibition
side, aud the anh-prohibitionists want to
know whether whisky is 10 be dislodged
| from one of its greatest stronghOlds.
1t has been asserted often that Atlanta
is not in close sympathy with any other
part OF the State than that within its cor
porate limits. If the assertion is true,
Atlanta is to be pitied, because Atlanta
has more reason to be proud OF the State
than the State has to be proud OF Atlanta.
Now, however, Atlanta has a chance to
get into sympathy with the State. II she
follows the States lead she may reach a
basis of solid prosperity that will relieve
her Of the necessity of constantly footing
her own horn,

COLLEGE Professors.

In a briet article in the New York
Tunes the suggestion is made that Gen.
Mcclellan would have made a very sue
cessful college president. 1t seems that
position of president was offered to him
~ one of the leading colleges of the coun-
try, and ne was strongly tempted to ac-
cept it. The statement is made, and an
parently with truth. that college
professors are not the mere bookworms
and theorists they once were. They are
now regarded as very practical men with
plenty Of business sense. They know how
TO make money ana to take care of il
when they have accumulated 1t. AS a
rule, the professors in college towns own
their own homes, and their names appear
rs investors in real estate. 1t is probably
safe to say that as many college professors
10 proportion 30 their number, as LAWYERS
or doctors or members of any other pro-
fession make money and have a comforta-
BE competency by the time they have
passed middle life.
As this is an active, aggressive, pushing
age it is just as well, probably, that those
who instruct the youth of the country
should be imbued with the spirit OF it,.
Those who succeed best in this practical
age are those who take a practical, COM
nonsense view of life. Not only is the
character OF the college professor under
| going marked changes but there is a
/ very noticeable change in the opinions of
leading educators with respect to the
| character OF college studies. There Is
not such deep attachment as there once
was to Greek, Latin, and mathematics.
The elective studies are growing in favor.
! It is urged with great deal Of force that
there are studies which afford as much
mental discipline as the three studies
mentioned, and, at the same time, are
much more useful. Whether the changes
are wise ones may be doubted by some,
but even the doubters must recognize the
TACT that they are taking place.

The walkup Murder Case.

The verdict in the Walkup murder case,
at Emporia, Kan, is just about what the
greater part of the public expected. Even
if the pretty defendant did poison her
husband it wasn't proven that she aid.
Indeed, the evidence against her was
wholly circumstantial, and was not very
strong.
The trial was very sensational and at
trscted the attention of the entire couh=
try. The youth and beauty of the alleged
murderess, and the prominence of the
supposed victim were sufficient IN them
selves to make the. trial one of more than
ordinary interest.
The defendant was not IT years OF age
at the time of the death Of her husband,
and had been married just one month.
Mr.. Walkup, the man who was poisoned,
was 40 years of age, and had been Mayor
OF Emporia. At the time Of his death he
was acting Mayor. He. visited New Or
leans three times during the Worlds
Fair ic that city. On the first occasion
he met Minnie Wallace at the house of
her mother, who kept a clearinghouse
on Canal street. The second and third
visits were for the purpose OF seeing the
young girl, and inducing her to become
his wife. He declared that he was very
rich man, and that he would provide for
her and her mother handsomely.
He finally won her consent The mar
ried life of the old man and his child wife
appears to have been happy. There
wasn't a word of testimony that they ever
had any disagreements. 1t was proved,
however, that Mrs. Walkup bought arse
mic on two occasions at the Emporia drug
stores. 1t was also shown that Mr.. Walk
up died from the effects Of arsenic.
In her testimony Mrs. Walkup said that
she bought the arsenic with her nus
bands knowledge for her complexion,
and it was proven by several witnesses
that Mr.. Walkup was in the habit of tax
Ing arsenic as a medicine. There was
chance, therefore, that Mr.. Wslkup ad-
ministered to himself the medicine that
caused his death. There are people in
Emporia, however, who will always be-
lieye that the pretty New Orleans girl
wanted to be rid of her old husband and
administered poison to him.

Eron, The Cincinnati Ennnirer.

from Hbe C17tCtgtl1tftt n inquirer
Among the applicants for Office from Ken
lucky recently was a distinguished Democrat
well-known to the people of the State. He Is
said TO be a very brilliant and learned gentle
man, and a good lawyer. He was ambitious
to 90 West and I'LL political postin one of the
Territories. His application was endorsed by
many leading Democrats of the State and his
Representative IN Congress came here to per-
sonally urge the President and Attorney Gen
eral to appoint the Kentuckian TO be United
well indorsed that at last the Attorney Gen
eral and the President decided to give him the
Utah Jud0eship. But he is at times addicted
to the use of too much liquor. Yet he had alb
stained from drink, and his friend were en-
CO ragged to believe that his reformation was
permanent.
" men his represent alive saw President
Cleveland and the Attorney General they
told him to telegraph to the Judge to come
here and get his appointment. The Congress
man hurried from the White House to the
telegraph Office and sent amessage requesting
the Judge to come lmme lately. n the
course of two or three days the Judge arrived
IN Washington in a most happy frame Of
mind He met here number Of old Ken
tucy friends, and, after several invitations,
Joined them in sampllng little old Bourbon.
Alasl for the Judge. He drank more than he
should have done. 1t was after a short
seance with his friends that his Congressman
allied at hrs hotel and told him that he de-
sired to take HIM up to the White House and
present him TO the President
When the two reached the Presidents office
there we're a number OF callers ahead OF them,
ami while waiting their turn in the Presi-
dents room the Washington Bourbon began
to tell on the Judge. At last he was presented
to the President. The latter noticed tn he
was in liquor, and at once changed his mind
about the appointment. He was firm, and
plainly told the Kentucky Congressman that
his constituent WAS not, in his opinion. a AZ
man for the place. The Judge left for home
a sadder but wiser man.

| The movement against the Chinese on
the Pacific coast is altogether too strong
to be resisted by the local authorities IL
appears to be gaining strength every day
1t now begins to look as if the Chinese
would be driven out Of all Of the Paclnc
coast towns.
The hostility TO them is, OF course due
almost wholly to the fact that they are OF
very little advantage to community.
They are willing to work for much lower
wages than white men are willing to &C
cept, and they, therefore, crowd white
men out Of the towns and cities, and,
also, prevent them from getting employ
ment on public works, and even in
mines and on farms. This is not salts
factory to tradesmen and shOpkeepers,
aud to those who are interested in having
the country settled up. The Chi
nese live very economically,
and their trade isn't worth much.
What there is Of it goes chiefly to Chi
uese merchants. The Chinese do not in
vest in farms, and do very little towards
improving the country. In fact, they do
not want to become identified with the
country. Their whole aim is to save
enough money to enable them to return TO
China and spend the closing years OK their
lives there in comfort.
1t is not to be wondered at therefore
that they are not wanted by the
busy, aggressive and progressive
people OF the Pacific coast. The
method that has been taken to get rid Of
them, however is not one that can or will
ne approved. They have right to 1--we
iu any part Of this country, and to seek
Employment at whatever wages they are
willing to accept for their services. I'm
migration from China has been stopped it
is true, but there is an obligation resting
upon the government that the Chinese
already in the country shall be protected
in all the rights to which they are entitled
under the law.
1t is certain that the government would
not maintain an Indifferent attitude if an
attempt were made to drive Americans
1ut Of Chinese towns, and there is no
doubt that our war vessels, comparatively
harmless rs they are. would soon make
their appearance in the waters Of China, if
American citizens In that country should
be subjected to outrages similar to those
inflicted upon the Chinese at Tacoma, and
to those with which the Chinese at Seattle
and Portland are threatened.
The Chinese are not desirable addi-
ton to our population, and a wise course
was pursued, doubtless, when the law
was passed shutting them out of the coun-
try; but there is certainly nothing to be
said in justification Of the destruction Of
lives and property of Chinese that marks
the anti-Chinese movement on the Pacific
coast.

Here is a story in which one of the greatest
bellies that has ever figured in New York so
ciety, and who is at present one Of its leaders,
plays an interesting part. 1t was told me by
the lady herself. A few days ago she received
q letter from an unknown correspondent in
Kansas City. He began by saying that he
was unkno n TO her, but a gentleman, al
though she might question that assertion by
hs writing to her anonymously. He had read
in the newspapers Of her talents, her wit and
her cleverness ana had fallen in love with
her. Would she please look upon him favor
ably, he pleaded, and send him a small piece
Of blue ribbon by return mail, as an evidence
that his letter had been received and
that she would allow him to
pay his addresses to her after proper pre-
sentation. The letter continued in this way
and concluded with a peroration of a most
pronounced description. A rich wife with
money he did not want as he had all the
wealth necessary to make man satisfied
with what it could procure. The name he
signed to the letter he acknowledged was fic-
titious. The Young lady did not send the rib
bon. and paid no further attention to the cor
respOndence until the other day. when she re-
ceived a second letter from him. dated BOs-
ton which was in much the same strain as the
first. He wIote that she might expect to meet
him the coming winter at a Delmonico ball,
and under any name.

Tho Birth of AN Iceberg.


The birth OF a huge iceberg, a phenomenon
that has been seen only once or twice by
European. and to a certain extent has re
NAMED matter of theory, was observed by
the Danish explorers on the east coast OF
Greenland. The bergs are formed by break
ing off from the end of glaciers extending
from the perpetual ice of the unexplored IN
terror to the coast and into the sea. The
water buoys up the sea end of the glacier
until it breaks by its own weight with a noise
that sounds like loud thunder miles away
The commotion of the water. rs the iceberg
turns over and over in the effort to attain Its
balance. IS felt to great distance along the
coast. The natives regard it as the work Of
evil spirits. and believe that to look upon the
glacier IN its Ghrnes is death. The Danish Of
icers when observing he breaking of of the
end OF the great glacier Puissortok through
their telescopes, were roughly ordered by
their EsquimauX escort. usually s. bmissive
enough. to follow their example and tern
their backs on the interesting scene. They
had happily completed their observations and
avoided an embarrassing conflict with their
crew by a seeming comp ance with the order.
