Checkmating e Chandler.

The motion which Senator Gibson, of
louisiana, made in the Senate the
other day, to amend s enator Chandlers
resolution providing for investigating the
November elections in the southern states.
SO as to include all the states, is heartily ap-
proved of by all who are anxious to see
justice done rather than partisan ends
accomplished. The aim of Senator Chand-
Ter Is to create the impression that election
frauds are committed only in the south. He
and other republican leaders have been try
ing to do this for years. Even though they
fail to show that the south is guilty as they
charge, they know that il they are persist
ent in making the charge they will not only
lead the northern people to believe that the
southern people are guilty of suppressing
the ballots, but they will divert attention
from the election frauds committed in the
| northern states
COMMITTEES after committee of the Sc nate
has been sent to the South within the last
ten years to find something to sustain the
| charges of the republicans that ia the south
ern states free ballot and a fair count are
denied. These committees Shave obtained
testimony which suited them, because it is
not difficult to find witnesses who will swear
to almost anything, but these witnesses, as
rule, have been shown to be without char
acter and their testimony to be without
foundation. Nevertheless, they have ac-
| complished their purpose to a certain ex-
tent, because they have produced wide
spread belief in the north that the colored
vote in the south is suppressed &
In the November elections in the north
voters were bought by the thousands. In
New York, Indiana and other states the
Republican party spent hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. if reports are to be credited,
in purchasing votes. One of the most dis
tinguished of the republican leaders is now
waiting for the action of the United States
grand jury at Indianapolis upon the charge
of bribing voters in Indiana. 1t would not
be difficult to find hundreds of witnesses in
the northern states who would testify that
the Republican party used money freely to
defeat the will of the people.
In view of the fact that there is more tes-
timony of corrupt election practices to be
obtained in the north than in the south, it
will hardly be denied that Senator Gibson's
motion is an eminently proper one. Sen
ator Chandler, of course, does not want any
Investigation of northern election methods,
and his resolution did not pro ide for it,
but if the investigation takes as wide a
range as Senator Gibson proposes, it will
cause more anxiety among northern repub-
licans than southern democrats

One of the Madame's Tricks.
From the Mem York Siny

Now that the dashing but dangerous Diss De
bar emerges from her enforced retirement on
the island" to-day, it is a matter for conjecture
what trickery she will turn to. For of course,
so restless and adventurous a spirit cannot be
disheartened by single failure, after all these
years of brilliant rascality.
Some of my acquaintance, well known society
ladies', have very vivid and painful recollec-
ton OF the Princess Editha, as the madame
called herself
"Oh, she was the suavest and cunningest
creature" said a wealthy Fifty-fifth street
dame, at whose luncheons and teas the madame
had frequently been an invited guest. Here is
Mrs. .--indicating young and handsome
woman beside her-"she can tell you a really
awful story of that woman. Can't you, dear?''
''Sh.' said the other Il don't mind telling
you If you will only omit my name. 1t was
several years ago, in Kansas City, that first
met her. She was then living with the GEN
eral, as she called him, and by some means she
managed 10 insinuate herself into respectable
society. She used to excite wonder by doing
some tricks of legerdemain and memorizng.
One day she told me the spirits had communi-
cation to make to me- and sitting was ar
ranged. 1 was 10 years old then, and, need
hardly say, little impressionable. At the sit
p ns shs eer o@ T ss aee to
10 go to certain place in st. Louis on a speci-
fed day, where / would meet the man whom
fate designed and my uncle wished to be my
future husband.
"Of course was upset by such communi-
cation. The letter closed with the solemn in
junction that was to take nobody into the Sc
cret. For several days was in a pitiful condi-
ton, but at last / mustered up sufficient pluck
TO tell one of my friends all about the matter
Mr.. B., at whose house was stopping, was in
formed Of it, and he at once made me go ali
the story again. why, Miss Alice, he
said, there is a rsscay purpt Sc in this, my
dear. You will go TO Sc. Louis and will ac-
company you
Meanwhile he engaged detectives and put
them on the track of Nine. Diss Debar Two
days before the time set for my rendezvous
the detectives reported that they had unearthed
my affinity He was dupe of the madame's
just like young Lawrence, and was entirely
willing to carry out her scheme and marry me
the madame coming in for a very handsome
commission when their victim was securely tied
at the altar"
Did you ever see the bridegroom she had
picked out for your" nquirs d.
No" she replied, laughing. And I'm not
likely to, either. The three left Kansas City
suddenly. Fate brought me another affinity
shortly afterward, whom married, and I'm
perfectly sure uncle's spirit is appeased, for |
haven't heard from him since"

Florida's Bright Prospects.

The late epidemic in Florida does not ap-
pear to have hurt that state The indica-
tions are that she viii have as many visitors
and immigrants during the coming year as
she has had in any previous year. Indeed,
there are reasons for thinking that the
| travel on all the roads leading to Florida
will be larger than ever before. The
| Florida people are full of hope for the future
( prosperity of their state, and are going on
! with their improvements as energetically
and enthusiastically as if the yellow fever
had never paid them visit. Capitalists are
investing their money freely in the state,
showing that their confidence in the states
development and material progress is not
clouded by doubt.
And why should the late epidemic check
Florida's advancement! 1t was confined to
a small area Only few of her many
towns were afflicted, and only one of them
severely. There may never be another cpl
demic of yellow fever within her limits. 1t
is certain that greater precautions than
ever will be taken to keep the fever from
getting foothold within her borders. The
legislature which meets in April, will pro-
every town will look more closely after
sanitary matters. The health, authorities
will administer with more care the trust
confided to them. The lesson taught by the
experience of the past summer win not soon
be forgotten.
Those who said Florida had received
setback from which she would not recover
in years, are already beginning to admit
they were mistaken. The rush of immi-
grants and visitors to the state, and the
business activity everywhere noticeable
within the states limits, are a surprise to
them. They expected Florida would abe
summed, and that her business would not
show any signs of revival for a year or
more.
But why should people hesitate to go to
60 to Florida now? There is no danger to
health to be apprehended there. 1t is as
safe to go there as to any other state. The
local physicians have said that it is, and
they would not make declaration of that
kind unless convinced of its truth. Hun
dreds of refugees have returned home and
hundreds of tourists and immigrants have
entered the state sincegthe epidemic in the
afflicted towns was declared at an end and
there has been no report that any one of
them has been attacked by the fever. What
better evidence is needed that the epidemic
is wholly thing of the past9
The general manager of the Savannah
and Florida railway system has just. made
an inspectionst tour through the state, going
as far south as Key West. His report of
the prospects for a busy and prosperous
season is a very gratifying one. Z He did
not find anylsigns of a feeling of depression
or hear any loomyfforebodings. What he
saw and heard satisfied him that the Florida
boom was as promising as ever, and that
the people were not in the least dispirited
by their recent misfortune. 1t may be ac-
cepted as settled that Florida is going right
ahead, and that the coming year will be
one of the most prosperous in her history.

A Reform that is Here to Stay.

Congressman Spinola said in a debate in
the House the other day that at least three
fourths of the republicans and all the demo-
Gratis of that body were opposed to the
civil service reform law. A vote was soon
after taken on the proposition not to make
an appropriation for the civil service COM
mission. 13S voted in favor of the appro.
priation and only 25 against it, thus
showing that an overwhelming ma
jority of the House was in
favor of enforcing the civil service
reform law. 1t is safe to say that at least
four-fifths of the people favor that law If
shirt collar so that the voice of the people
can reach his ears he will be surprised how
greatly he has mistaken their sentiments
not only with regard to civil ser
vice reform, but also other important
public questions There are few men in
public life who, like Gen. Spinola, think
the opinions they entertain are those of the
people, and it does not seem to them possi-
BILE that the people can differ with them.
There is nothing more certain. however.
than that civil service reform has come to
SUdN, huu Jhdb oo1- lldIiloOuS
ton will not dare to assume an attitude of
hostility to it. The people had become
thoroughly disguised with the spoils system
when civil service reform was adopted, and
they are by no means anxious to go back to
that system and risk the dangers which it
threatens.
Mr. Cleveland is the only President who
has had the courage.to make a firm stand
against the spoils seekers. Civil service
reform had been tried during other admin
istrations, and always without su cess
The spoilsmen always bulldozed the chief
executive into disregarding it. The effort
to bulldoze Mr.. Cleveland into disregarding
it failed. Congressman who had voted for
it were among those who tried to induce
him to defeat it. He has been true to the
trust reposed in him, and the people will
remember him for this reform. if for
nothing else. Civil service reform is a
permanent thing, and it will be one of the
safeguards of the country long after Con-
gresham Spinola is forgotten.

She Didn't Buy.

FTOM the Nelo YOTE Star.
Taking a pleasant promenade through the
Metropolitan art museum yesterday, l became
much interested in little discussion carried on
between an old couple who were evidently visit
ing the art gallery for the first time The old
Lady was much struck with what she termed
the ''naturalness" of group of cows in pct-
ure of Sir Edward Landseer. Although it wasn't
really so, the tail of one of the calves appeared
TO be twisted round tree, and to this the de-
lighted lady called the attention of her hus-
band
DO you think, though, Sammy" she said.
that it is possible cows tail can be hooked
round tree in that manner?'
Nothing is imeossible to genius" was the
concise answer of Sammy
Il must buy that picture. Say mister" she
cried to an usher, how much will you take for
that picture?"
1T is not for sale, madam; but if it were, you
would have to pay S15000 r0r it."
The old lady collapsed
