The Home Club Denounced.

The story of the,plot by the Home club
OF New York to assassinate Mr.. wderly
causes much indignant comment among
the Knights OF Labor. One of them said:
The Home club has brought much disgrace
in the order. could tell of numerous in
stances in which this has occurred It is a
notorious fact that the recent investiga-
ton by committe OF the general assembly
has been embarrassing affair. The Home
club must rule or ruin. Any one who is
opposed to their principles will be driven
from the order, il possible: ia man applies
for membership and they imagine that he
will be an enemy to them he will be black
balled. fear that they will try to disrupt
the order if they cannot control the Rich
mond meeting. At that time will occur
the greatest struggle ever known in the or
der. The Home club will stop at nothing,
not even murder, to effect their ends. Vic
tor Drury, the leader, is an offshoot OF the
Paris commune and he has been trying to
make District Assembly No. 40 an engine
OF socialism.

Among the indications of improved
business conditions which have been
noted from time to time, the record of
railway earnings is one of the most
suggestive. Only ten out of sixty
eight roads show smaller earnings
than those of last year, while on most
OF the important systems the gains
are marked. A steady and continu-
Gus growth in the railroad traffic of
the country must surely Indicate q
larger exchange accommodates among
the people and an increase OF travel,
which, Of itself, is Indicative of i'm.

The constitution of Nebraska COZ

The constitution of Nebraska con-
tains novel provision under which
the people may express their prefer
ence for United States senator at
the state election preceding the ses-
sion OF the legislature which is to elect
senator. For ten years this curious
provision has been dead letter. The
senator's have all been elected the
usual way, the legislature being trust
ed to make the choice. Now for the
first time in the history of the state
the people are to vote for their favor
tie and instruct their represent atives.
The experiment will be watched with
interest.

The anarchists in some of helarger
cities are threatening dire revenge if
the condemned Chicago anarchists

threats may be fulfilled, though they
are generally regarded as intended
solely to save their brethren. But

fanatics and no one can tell what
such people may do.

Some time ago the MORNING NEWS
threw out a suggestion to the effect that
it would be good idea for the Democrats
of every county in Georgia to elect dele
gates to State conventions on the same
day. The suggestion seems to have been
we'll received in nearly every part of the
State, scores of our exchanges having
ndorsed it and urged its adoption.
There are good reasons why the plan
proposed should be adopted. 1t would do
away almost altogether with some OF the
most Objectionable political methods now
in vogue. Protracted ana acrimonious
campaigns in advance Of the party nom
nations would be discouraged, and the
people OF each county would make their
choice of delegates uninlluenced by the
action OF other counties.
This is matter to be considered by the
Democratic constituency OF Georgia
Under the sanction of party usage there
is no central authority to fix a day for the
selection of delegates or to prescribe the
manner in which they shall be selected.
These matters have been left to the decls-
ion of the Democratic committees OF the
ulueItHl COuullts. IL WOulQ HOJ De dHllSS,
however, IN the approaching State Con-
vention, should that body see proper, for
resolution TO be passed commencing the
plan proposed to favorable consideration,
and requesting the new Executive Com
mittee TO be elected by the convention to
lay the plan before the Executive Com
mittees of the counties when the next
state Convention il called
The convention ought also to consider
the question OF the ACCESSIBILITY of
prohibiting the selection Of dele
gates in advance of the call for the
! state Convention. There are objections
| to such premature action by counties
which will readily suggest themselves TO
thoughtful and fair minded Democrats.
The Democrats of Georgia want open
methods, plenty Of time for consideration
OF candidates aud questions of public
policy and fair dealing. They do not
want protracted struggles for preference
or angry contests in the party,
1t is believed that the suggestions out
lined above, If properly brought to the at
teutiOu Of the Democratic masses OF
Georgia, will be adopted by very large
majority. if not all, of the counties.

David Davis Sensitive About His Size
Fronatbs CHICAGO Inter- OCEAN.


Judge Davis was quite sensitive as to his
large proportions. SAID a gentleman yester-
day: Il had known the Judge IN Il casual way
for many years, having been at his house IN
Bloomington, and called on him at the Grand
Pacific Hotel in Chicago two or three times.
One afternoon. some four wears ago, called
on Wilbur r. Storey, of the Times, in h edl-
torial rooms, and found him engaged in con-
ycrsatlOn with Judge Davis, who greeted me
cordially, but was so struck with the great
reduction i'll size since ! had lat seen him
that made an Involuntary observation upon
ii, intenCei to be a compliment. Instantly
the Judge changed his manner and addressed
| himself TO Mr.. Ste rey, giving me to under
stand that he was offended.
THAT evening | met Long John Wentworth
and related the occurreoce 10 MIN. You
made a bad break, said he. why, as well a.
| know Davis, wouldn't think of alludlng 10
his size. Two or three years ago l took him
out 10 my farm at Summit | have there a
buggy with pretty h gh seat. built expressly
for me. Without thinking of the diff cren e
in the length of Davis legs and mlne | seated
him in the buggy beside me. Presently | no.
ticed that Davis was wobhlIng about uncom-
fortably and that he was like a small scho l.
boy ON a bench, his feet being several inches
above the floor. Making some excuse | re-
turned to the stable and told nay hOStler he
| had forgotten to put in my stool and that he
knew dsuccd well couldn't ride without it.
The stoO was put in; it just fitted DAVIS and
he was com Portable, but 1t brought my knees
up So near nv chin that | was miserable.
Stlll ! endured the torture without a word
and drove all over the farm. Then, to en-
phaslZe my success at self-COntrol, when got
back 10 the stable ] damned the hostler for
having forgotten my stool at first, and told
him to never do IT again Long John Told
me at this time that JddGe Davis had been
undergoing hero treatment for oaesitv. and
while he heartily congratu ated himself on
his success he couldn't bear TO have any body
else congratulate him."

Imitators of Sam Jones are making
their appearance IN different parts OF the
country. They do not seem to meet
with much success. The only one who
has succeeded in acquiring more than a
/ local notoretv is s. w. Wesley. who is
known as the cowboy revivalist. Wesley
is far inferior to Sam Jones in wit and
originality, but he eXcels him in the use
OF slang expressions, his knowledge OF
the kind OF people VINO frequent barrooms
and gambling saloons, aud in the coarse
way in which he speaks OF sacred
subjects. 1t is generally admitted that
Sam Jones is an earnest Christian, and
that he is sincerely devoted to the work
OF doing good. 1t may be that his lmlta-
tors are just as sincere as he is, and that
the desire Tor notOriety and gain has no
influence whatever upon the methods
they employ to spread the gospel. With
out excellent reasons it would be unjust
even to question their motives, but there
can be no objection to the inquiry wheth-
er, after ALL the Sam Jones style o!
preaching does any permanent good.
1t is true that both Sam Jones and his
imitators draw large audiences, and they
succeed in arouslng great deal OF ex-
element. Many who attend their meet
ings profess to DE converted from their
evil ways and express a determination to
lead better lives. 1t will hardly be denied,
however, that the great majority of those
who appreciate their preaching are
amused rather than instructed in re-
ligious matters or convinced of the neces-
sity of abandoning their evil ways.
People who hear sacred names ard sa-
cred things spoken of from the pulpit in
connection with coarse stories and jokes
cannot have much respect for religion or
reverence for it's truths. They may hear
some things which would do them good
if they would apply them to themselves,
but this they seldom do. They accept the
amusing part Of the dscourses as in
tended foI their amusement, and regard
the exhOrtatlons and moral lessons as in
tended for their neighbors.
One OF the reasons for thinking that the
preaching of Sam Jones and his imita-
tors doesn't do much permanent good is
that it doesn't cause new religious con-
to be built. Indeed, 1t is doubtful if it
helps materially to increase the congre-
cations already In existence.
One OF the reasons for thinking that it
does harm is that the majority of the peO-
pie who hear it remember the stories,
the jokes and the caustic attacks upon
the sins of society and the shortcomings
of certain classes, but they seldom recall
the appeals in behalf of purity, morality
and religion. The light minded enjoy re-
peating what appears to be irreverent,
and there are only "a few who appreciate
that which is intended to carry conviction
to sinners.
While there is much to be said in favor
of as we'll as against Sam Jones' preach
ing there is not a great deal that is worthy
of approval in that of his mitators. They
exaggerate all that is bad in the sam
Jones style and fail to grasp that winch is
good. The consequence is that thew come
nearer acting the part OF a clown than
that OF a minister of the gospel.
