production about agricultural De-

about the railroad charges for getting

True Story.

A well known English jockey onhis
death bed was lately asked by his
only son if he had anything on his
mind, and also for such parental
parting advice as he could think of.
''Yes, 'Arry," said the poor voyager,
Il ave got suthin' on my mind, boy,
and l can give yer advice as will be
useful to yer all yer days. What's
on my mind is this. When Lord
Boots backed his mare Catch-em-
Alive, as you've heard me tell on,
against Sir James Toots' horse
Scurvygo for ten thousand, rode
the mare as you know, and Charley
Sniggins, as you've. often heard me
go on about, he rides the horse.
Well, you see, I'd come to an under
standin' with Sir James, and was to
get a whole couple of thou. it so be as
| could only lose the race, COS, OF
course. Catch-em-Alive, as l rode,
was out and away the fastest OF the
two.
"Well, Just as we gets within about
three or four hundred yards of the
post l leans over to Charley as was
a Furnishing Scurvygo awful, and |
says, Charley, ole man, | amt spin
uing.' Amt yer?' he says; well,
then, no more am l. and blow me,

and chuck hisself of, and Twas oblig-
ed to win. Host two thousand by
that bit OF villainy, AIRY, and you're
the worse off for it to-day. And your
advice, dad?" said the dutiful son as
soon as his parent had recovered
from a fit OF coughing which the re.
membrane of Mr.. Sniggins' wicked
ness had brought on. My advice
boy. is this: always keepyour bloom

Why Dinner Was Very Late

Here is on Thad Spindle which,

one evening not long ago and found
that dinner was not ready. The

OF marketing which he had ordered
on his way down town that morn
ing. The cook had expected it every
minute, and this caused the delay
In no happy frame of mind he went
TO the grocery some blocks away ant

basket had not been sent out home

way home he stopped To talk gun to
his friend the doctor. He did not
hurry. as he knew the dinner had t,

Finally he noticed that there was a.

an exceedingly large market baske
sitting on the curbstone Just out o

The darby looked very like one b

Meantime, Mr.. Burke was sleeping
of the effects OF his spree, all
unmindful of the pit dug for
his reception, and when the sheriff
looked in on him after reading the
letter which revolutionized the case
of the state VS.. Jaeger, he told him
self that never had criminal been
more speedily or effectually run to

To Sheriff Brown: You are all rong in &C

that the letter offered in evidence and

Of none other than Samuel Burke.

case, made the following eloquent
plea:

The Democratic Leaders.

The men who acted as the democratic
leaders in the House during the recent tur-
bulent scenes in that body deserve very
high praise. They presented clearly to the
country the position taken by the demo-
Gratis, and they showed that position to be the
right one. Notwithstanding the excitement
that prevailed they kept cool. They were,
Of course. highly indignant, and the
language they used was not always mild,
but the occasion called for strong language,
and nothing was said by Messrs. Carlisle,
Crisp, Turner, Holman, or Springer that
should have been omitted.
Three of these leaders are from the south.
and two of the three are from Georgia,
They were about the calmest men on the
floor, and this fact will strike people very
forcibly when it is remembered that south
erners are held up by the northern republi-
can newspapers as being highly excitable.
According to these papers, they lose their
temper upon the slightest provocation, and
when they become angry there is no telling
what they will do. Messrs. Carlisle, Crisp
and Turner have shown that southerners
can control themselves quite as well as
northerners. They are natural leaders
brave, brainy, quick, and cool; and there
are plenty more like them in the south.

A Terrible bereavement.

Mr.. Tracy, the Secretary of the Navy,
has the sympathy of the whole country in
the terrible bereavement which he suffered
yesterday morning. On Sunday night he
had happy family and pleasant home.
On Monday morning that home was n
ruins, his wife and one daughter were dead,
the daughter having been burned TO death
another daughter and granddaughter
were severely injured, and his own life was
saved only by the most extraordinary exer-
tions of his physicians. The story of the
disaster is told graphically in our dispatches
this morning.
The firemen appear to have made heroic
exertions to save the lives of the inmates of
the house. The smoke was so dense, how
ever, that they were not able to reach them
in time to save the lives of all of them. 1t
is not often that the inmates of a dwelling
house that is on fire are not able to escape
the flames Secretary Tracy and his wife
and daughter, however, must have been
made insensible by the smoke while asleep,
and hence did not realize their peril.
Members of President Harrison's cabinet
have been greatly afflicted. Secretary
Blaine has lost two grown children within
a month. and now Secretary Tracy has lost
his wife and daughter.

The Statement of Jesup's Mayor.


We publish elsewhere in this issue state
ment showing the character Of the Of
/ lenses for which the two negroes. who were
/ lynched in Jesup on the occasion Of the riot
/ in that town a few weeks ago, were con-
/ fined in jail This statement is made
by the mayor OF Jesup. and is intended to
correct a statement which appeared in the
MORNING NEWS in connection with some
comments on the fact that the governor
had offered O reward for the arrest of those
who killed the negroes.
We have no reason to question the cor
rectness OF the mayors statement Our
reporter, however, who was at Jesup when
| the lynching took place, did not hear it
stated that one of the negroes who was
lynched had fired bullets into Assistant Mar
shall Barnhill'S dead body, and he did not
state anything Of that kind in his report.
Admitting that the mayors report is cor
rect in every particular, it does not follow
that there was any justification for the
lynching. Whatever the crimes may have
been which the negroes who were lynched
committed, there is no doubt that they
would have been fairly tried by the courts

served. The killing of them in their help
less condition served no good purpose. The
time to have killed the one who, it is
alleged, fired his pistol at the dead body
OF assistant Marshal Barnhill, if he was to
be killed at all, was when he committed
that act, and not when he was disarmed
and in jail. The other negro may or may
not have been with the desperate. Brewer
Whether he was or not, there was no excuse
for lynching him, particularly when it was
certain that he would be dealt with by the
law.
The lynching, as we have said, served no
good purpose, and it had a very bad effect.
The better class of negroes would not have
regretted the killing of Brewer Immediately
after he had murdered the assistant
marshal, but the killing of the negroes in
the Jail tended to arouse a bitter feeling
among them toward the whites.
We have never supposed that citizens of
Jesup took part in the lynching, and we
should be much surprised if it should appear
that they did. We have always supposed
that those who did that deed lived quite
distance from there.

Reokless nrissratems nts.


The republican newspapers, IN discussing
southern matters, have very little regard
for truth. The New York Tribune, for
instance, speaks Of Senator Buffers bill TO
aid negro emigration as ''fanciful deporta-
ton billn As matter Of fact, the senator
has never proposed that the negroes shah
be deported. The purpose Of his bill is to
aid those of the negroes who want 10 emf
CRATE He does not want to force them to
leave the south. he is not 50 lacking in in
telhgence as to suggest anything Of that kind.
1t suits the purpose Of the Tribune and
other republican newspapers, however, to
create the impression that his bill aims to
drive the negroes ont of the south, whether
they want to go or not.
Senator ingalls, in his speech said that
justice had never been tried in the effort to
solve the race problem. He has as little
respect for tho truth as the Tribune. Neither
he nor the republican press is disposed to be
frank and just. Before recommending JUS
t!ce they ought to be Just. Senator Ingalls,
knows that the negroes are treated with
justice. What he means by justice Is that
negro domination ought to prevail where
the negroes are in the majority, but he is
not frank enough TO say SO. The MORNING
News has already pointed out that there
would be no justice TO either the whites or
the negroes in permitting the negroes to
have control OF affairs anywhere before
they are prepared for it.
But why should the Tribune speak Of
Senator Buffers bill as deportation bill"
Simply because if it adhered to the truth it
would have no basis for views which it
expresses For the same reason Senator
Ingalls, makes charges which he cannot sup
port by facts. Why did not the senator
say squarely that he favored negro rule
where the negro is in the majority' Be
cause he did not dare to. If he should make
a statement of that kind he would lose a
very large part of the support he now has in
the north For the same reason the Trib-
une tries TO have it understood that Sena-
tor Buffers purpose is to force the negroes
to leave the south. If it should state what
the bill really is there would perhaps be
little opposition to it in the north, unless it
was understood that the negroes would seek
homes IN the northern states. If that i'm
preston should get abroad in the north the
bill would have no friends in that section,
because the northern people don't want any
more negroes among them than they already
!,
