Admiral Luce's Mission.

The four cruisers which have been or
dered to Hatyi to demand the release of the
Sc zed steamer Haytien Republic, are more
than enough to enforce the demand if it
should be refused. 1t is not known what
Admiral Luce's orders are, but there is no
doubt that they are ample for any emer-
gency. One cruiser, doubtless, would be
sufficient to secure the release of the
steamer and damages for her detention.
There is an impression in naval circles
that when Admiral Luce arrives at his
controversy has been burned. If he does,
he will of course demand her full value
from the Haytian authorities. In case of
refusal he will undertake to bring the author
tiles to terms by dropping a few shells into
Port au-PrInce
1t is rather remarkable that the Haytian
authorities should have detained the steamer
after they found that her seizure was lille
gal. They have had experience of this kind
before, and very costly experience it proved
to be.
Doubtless, however, there is nothing but
mob rule in Hayti, and the course of a mob
is seldom wise one. The people of Hayti
| do not know what good government is
They are constantly disturbed by outbreaks
and revolutions. In fact, they would
| hardly be satisfied if they didn't have a
political disturbance of some sort every
few months. Perhaps that is their way of
working towards a higher civilization. If
it is, it is a very slow and costly way.

HIS Face Acquitted Him.

There used to be in practice in one of the

gree of success at the bar in spite of an in-
trinity of speech that he never could get rid of
His suffering appeals in behalf OF his clients
were sometimes fearful and wonderful deliver
ances oratoricaly, but his opponents used to say
that they really gained in effectiveness from his
stammering, because the jury not only sympa-
thized with him, but had time to take in and
digest all his points.
One day he appeared in Bristol county court
room before Judge Pitman and jury to defend
a very tough-looking citizen, who had been ar
rested on a charge of selling liquor without
license The man had bad reputation and
bad face; whisky had been found on his prem
ises and if ever a man was convicted before he
was tried it seemed to be this one.
But his suffering lawyer was equal to the
emergency. He cross questioned the policeman
who made the seizure:

The secrecy Of grand jury chamber is
another legal fiction that is easily penetrated.
An instance is as follows: A justice of sessions

ing of the indictment. He asked me whether I
had learned concerning it. Irepled: No but
can readily find out for you from Mr.. -,
your townsman, indicating grand juror stand
ing on the opposite side of the street. 'Oh no,
you must not ask him. rejoned the anxious

you. Il don't propose to ask him, but to get
him to tell you" l replied. Il viii pass over

How to Get Out of Debt.

The Greensboro Herald wants to know
why the farmers of Greene county don't
grow tobacco. 1t thinks tobacco could be
made a profitable crop, and it gives the
experience of Mr.. W. A. Kimbrough to
show that it could be raised there A num-
Der of years ago Mr.. Kimbrough planted a
small piece of ground in tobacco The
crop did excellently, and Mr.. Kimbrough
says that after dampening and pressing the
leaves he had some of the finest
tobacco he has ever tasted, and for
which he refused 50 pound
The question of the Herald is pertinent
Why don't the farmers of middle Georgia
grow their own tobacco, instead of depend
ing on Virginia, North Carolina and Ken
lucky for it? The conditions of climate
and soil are suited to tobacco growing,
although the farmers have never given
much attention to that branch of agricult-
ure. If they should, they probably would
save money.
There are other crops that might be
grown in Georgia, but to which the farmers
Civ no attention. Are not the farmers
pursuing a course in this respect that
works to their INJURY! They complain of
hard times. They say it requires more
money than they make to pay their debts
that they are sinking deeper into the mire
of debt every year. If they had previously
adopted the plan of growing everything
possible that is required on their farms,
their debts would not be so great-perhaps
they would be out of debt, with balance
laid up for the proverbial rainy day.
The tendency of the times is to diversified
crops, and, with the advantages of soil and
climate that Georgia affords, there really
is no reason why farmers should buy good
many things that they do. An era of pros
perity will set in when they realize and act
upon this

The Corner Passenger.
From the Ne,r York Times.


The corner passenger was wet, but the damp
ness had not sunk in deep enough to chill his
good humor nor paralyze his tongue. He
dropped into his corner of Sixth avenue street
car, and, after moments reflection, half rose,
and, putting his ear to the window, listened.
Its raining yet" he observed with great
confidence.
very nicely dressed young man who had
dropped into q seat near by did not dispute this
assertion. Neither did a joly-looking man.
nor did his fiercely prim wife who sat beside
him, nor did the two other men in the car. The
rain fell heavily and the car ground along on
its watery way.
The corner passenger raised his hand and fish
ing around among the signs over his head
pulled the cord which blows a whistle on the
platform. The car stopped and the conductor
showed back the door and looked inquringly in.
gush of wind swept the rain in, too. The
corner passenger huddled himself into his
corner and said:
Conductor, it seems to me that the driver
and you ought to come in when il rains so hard.
You look reasonably intelligent, and I'm sur
prised 10 see you remain outside in such
weather"
The conductor slammed the door and rang the
bell The jolly gentleman wanted to join the
other men in the car In the laugh which fol
lowed, but the look on his wifes face forbade
such liberty. BY and by the rain ceased falling
and the conductor opened the door. The corner
passenger leaned forward aud inquired: "Wiil
we run through a swamp?' The conductor
shook his head
"Then won't have to take Off my clothes ?"
"No," said the conductor, you won't"
Rain began to fall again. and the nicely.
dressed young man rolled his trousers up at the
bottom.
Conductor, is it raining in here:" asked the
"NoH
Then what's he got his trousers rolled up
forY"
The young man flushed and nervously pulled
at the legs OF his garments.
"You can get a stretcher for a quarter OF a
dollar, and then they won't bag at tie knees, "
observed the corner passenger.
The prim lady walked firmly down the aisle
behind her husband, with her feet exposed by
the dress lifted from the floor.
You ought not TO come out without rub
bers said the corner passenger reprovingly,
particularly when IL looks so much like rain
Say, boys, as the lady disappeared. lets all
have drink. Couldn't ask you while she was
here, you know, =" alphabetically; "wouldn'tlook
well. Bet dollar he'd been glad to take nip,
though"
Nobody responded TO this invitation, and the
fact that Il had been extended Immediately es-
capped the memory OF the corner passenger. He
was silent for time, and then fell asleep.

Responsibility of the Clubs.

The political clubs in this city have I'M
dertaken to dominate a candidate for
mayor and candidates for aldermen, and
they have a pretty heavy responsibility
resting upon them. There does not appear
TO be any marked opposition to their dis
charging this duty, but there is feeling Of
anxiety respecting their ability to dis
charge it satisfactorily. There is no con-
sensus Of opinion among them as to the
candidates that should be nominated The
different clubs favor different men, and the
members of the same club are divided in
their preferences. Under the circum-
stances, therefore, it will be rather diff
cult matter to frame ticket that will be
generally satisfactory. Each of the differ
ent clubs will, doubtless, demand the right
to select one or more of the candidates for
aldermen, and it Is not improbable that the
select on in all cases will not be satisfactory
to the majority.
There is one thing that the clubs ought to
bear in mind, and that is that if they nomi-
nate ticket which is not generally satisfac-
tory the business men and property
owners, acting independently of the clubs,
will nominate ticket. The necessity for
having capable men in charge of the city's
affairs is so great that those who are most
deeply interested in the city's prosperity
cannot afford to have the municipal gov
eminent in the control of men who are not
fitted for their positions.
Savannah has entered upon a period of
great prosperity, and in order that this pros
perity may continue her municipal affairs
must be directed by men possessed of sound
business sense and who are liberal and pro-
gressive in their views 1t is the aim of the
clubs, doubtless, to nominate such men, but
this aim may be defeated by the demands
IN behalf of different localities and various
interests. The welfare of the city as a
whole should not be sacrificed in order to
crafty club pride or to satisfy the demands
of any section of the city or any
interest. 1t can be stated with con-
siderable certainty, therefore, that if the
nominations of the clubs are not such as to
meet with the approval of the best element
of the clubs, and the taxpayers outside Of
