Believes in the Number Is.

"Col. Will Morton the manager of the CoIuno

qualities of the odd number had been under dis.

his fate in the charming Mrs. Morton-she was
Lily Post, you know-on the 18th, proposed on
the 18th, and would have been married on the
13th only it was inconyenient, and they had to
arrange for another date. Yes SIR he went

Lend a Hoping Hand.

There has never been a greater calamity
in this country than that in Pennsylvania.
Thousands of lives have been lost
thousands of people are hungry and home
less, and thousands of the dead are un-
buried. The suffering people of Conemaugh
valley need help, and a great deal of it.
They have no way to earn the money
necessary to keep them from starving,
because their work shops and places OF
business, as well as their homes, are in
ruins. When Charleston suffered from
an earthquake, and when this city and
Jacksonville, New Orleans and other south
ern cities were visited by pestilance aid
was freely given by the people in every
part of the country. Aid is now needed by
the people of Johnstown and other
places in Pennsylvania which have
been ruined by the flood. The generous
people of Savannah are no doubt ready to
contribute to the fund that Is being raised
for their assistance. Would it not be ad-
visable for the mayor to announce where
contributions will be received, and to under
take to forward to the proper source all
contributions that may be made9

Corrupt Methods IN Politics.

In an article in the June Forum on "Cor-
rupt Political Methods" Senator Edmunds
estimates that $1,000 600 would not more
than cover the political expenses Of tie last
national campaign. There is good reason
for thinking that that estimate is far too
low. but assuming that it is approximately
correct, and that the greater part of it was
spent for purposes which no honest man eau
approve, as was undoubtedly the case. is
| there not presented condition Of affairs
that is appallinga
There is no doubt that the cost OF con-
Quoting a political campaign in all its
phases was twice as great in 1SSS as it was
in 1884, and distinguished political man
ager said, Immediately after the last presi-
dental election, that the Cost Of the next
national campaign would be far greater
than the last There is an increasing de-
pendence upon money, and tho number of
those who are willing to sell their votes is
steadily becoming larger.
If something is not done to check the
illegal use of money in elections the time
will soon come when the government will
be bought. and the party which has the
x
tain control as long as it can obtain sufi-
cient amount of money to enable it to do so.
A great many wealthy men who would
not be guilty OF a crime. or a dishonest act
in a business transaction, do not hesitate to
sell their votes or to assist in buying votes.
There are party workers who do not think
1t dishonorable to resort to any means to
secure the success Of their party. They
have no hesitation whatever in violating
election laws and their moral sense is so
blunted that they are as ready TO buy votes
as they are TO buy merchandise.
Senator -Edmunds makes nearly a dozen
suggestions for securing purer elections.
but only two Of them are really valuable
One of these is that the people must be edu-
Gated so they will have a higher apprecia,
ton Of the right to cast a ballot, and the
other is civil service reform. One of the
reasons that there is so much immoral work
in elections now is the desire to get control
of the offices. A party worker who hopes
to get good office if his party Is success
full will use all kinds of questionable meta
DDS to assist his party. and if his wrong
doing is not found out he is pretty certain
to be rewarded, however unfit he may be
to discharge the duties of responsible
position. M
The people must be so educated that pub
lie opinion will condemn in the most en-
phatic way the buying and selling of votes.
If man who bought or sold vote was os-
tracised in tho community in which he
lived, just as thief is, there would be very
few votes bought and sold. The low moral
tone of the people, with respect to politics.
is what makes the use Of immoral election
methods possible.
The extending of civil service reform
rules will! lessen the number Of political
prizes, and as this number decreases the
number of political workers who think
only of the offices, will decrease. When
parties struggle for principles instead of
offices. corrupt practices in elections will
largely disappear.

The republican organs are informed that
the democratic press is not worrying about
the coming appointment of a supreme court
justice, although there is apparently some
cause for worry. The two men who seem
to he favorites with the President are Judge
Woods and Attorney General Miller, the
first of whom, from all accounts, is not
capable of filling the position properly, and
the other of whom rests his claims upon his
services in shielding Col Dudley. No; the
democratic press isn't worrying. 1t doesn't
expect much of the Harrison administra-
ton, and it doesn't think the appointment
of either Woods or Miller would help the
Republican party.

Since 1t became known that the republi-
cans have very slim majority in this con-
gress, death has been buster with democratic
than with republican members. The only
members that have died have been demo-
Gratis. They are three in number: Messrs.
Burns of Missouri, Townshend of Illinois,
and Gay of Louisiana. Democrats have been
elected to succeed the first two, and as Mr..
Gays district gave democratic majority of
about 1900 at the last election. he will
doubtless be succeeded by democrat. 1t
is little singular that every death thus far
among members should have been of demo-
Gratis, but the republicans need not argue
from that fact that Providence is on their
side.

The losses by fire in this country in 1888
were nearly 81, 200, 900 less than in 1887. For
some time the average annual loss has been
about $110, 100000. 1t is stated that most
OF the fires in the south last year were
attributed to incendiarism. Probably this
is also true with respect to those in the
north. While it may not be true that most
OF the fires in this country are of incendiary
origin, it is fact that most of them are
thought to be.

Some Of the newspapers in neighhoring
states think that Georgia had better let the
compulsory education question alone. The
Montgomery Advertiser is one of them. 1t
says that Mr.. Mcdonald, of Ware county,
who proposes to introduce a bill for compul-
sorry education, must be somewhat Of
fanatic, and that compulsory education
might do for a monarchical country, but
not for a republic. No doubt Georgia
will be able to settle that question satisfac-
toriiy.

A CURIOUS SUIT is being tried in New Bedford,

it closely. A bicycle rider, James G. Bradford,
took header while bowling along a road, and
this so upset the equilibrium of j. A. Beauvls'
pair of spirited horses that they ran away and
smashed up Mr.. Beauvis' turnout. Mr.. Beauvis
thinks the bicycle rider ought to pay the dam
ages, hence the suit.
