TWO HAPPY LOVERS.
The Daughter OF the Confederscy and Her
Husband That l. to he.

Our esteemed correspondents are still
asking questions about Miss Winnie
Davis and her lover.
Nothing is more natural than this
lively interest-this warm-hearted sym
patty and affectionate curiosity.
All the world loves a lover, said one
poet Love rules the court, the camp,
the field, said another.
When the Daughter Of the Confeder-
acy weds a Northern lover the agitators
who delight in sectional strife will feel
that they have met with an overwhelm
ing answer. This winsOme woman, the
child OF the prisoner OF Fortress Monroe
this girl who was literally rocked in
the cradle OF war, and who first saw the
light in the Confederate capital, has
said with an eloquence all her own that
there shall be no North and no South,
but in their place there shall be union
of love and perpetual peace.
Something has been said about the
politics of the grandfather of Miss
Winnic's sweetheart Who cares any
thing about his politics? Miss Davis
and Mr. Wilkinson are not preparing
for political campaign. They are not
discussing matters of ancient history.
They are not Haunting the stars and
bars against the stars and stripes, and,
at the present moment. they do not caro-
a snap whether the Nation is spelled
with a big IN or not
Love will have It's own sweet way,
and even the malignant politicians are
secretly glad Of it. They are only
malignant on the surface. At least
they are good fellows and they are re-
joicing over the happiness Of this young
couple, and getting ready to dance at
their wedding.
And a royal wedding it will be. The
old Confederacy proposes to be on deck
when the matter of bridal presents
comes up-she will see TO it that her
favorite daughter is not forgotten.
Our esteemed correspondents who are
asking so many questions may as we'll
put it down as a fact that there is not
only a new South and a new North, but
a new Republic, too. This is as it
should be- Atlanta Constitution.

THE CASE OF QUAY.
His Election to the senate Not u vindiea-
ton OF His Character,


Since Mr.. NJ. S. Quay United States
Senator from Pennsylvania, was charged
| on specific evidence with being a thief,
sufficient time has elapsed to make it
plain that he win not hazard an investi-
/ CATION. lie has neither asked justice
| from the Senate nor from the courts
where lac might secure 1t, il innocent,
by suits against the newspapers publish
/ ing the evidence On which Is based the
charge of larceny against him.
His subordinates in the Pennsylvania
| Republican State Committee have
asserted that he has been yindicatcd by
his election to Office subsequent to the
| time when it is alleged that he COM
mitted the thefts from the treasury OF
Pennsylvania. This view of the case is
a mistaken one. The charges hitherto
! made have been in vague hints-chiofy
in the form of threats from Republicans
that thry would lift the lid OFF" the
State treasury in case Quay pursued a
course indicated by them rs one he must
not pursue. The ends here sought were
not the ends of justice, but OF political
blackmail, and the fact that the lid was
not lifted - that compromises were
| effected as result OF which Quay was
sent to the Senate instead OF to the
penitentiary, where it was intimated he
might go in the event OF exposure
merely suggests that Quay preferred
blackmailing coercion 10 the necessity
of explanation and defense incident to
the "lifting Of the lid IL can not be
claimed with reason that his election
was an expression OF popular conf
dence in his innocence of the crime OF
theft, the public at that time having
had none of the evidence submitted to it.
Bat even II Il were otherwise, cleo

urcr % Pennsylvania distracted money
from the treasury and used 1t for his
private purposes, he is a felon whether
or not the felony VAS afterward COM
pounded through his own efforts or tho
efforts Of others
1t seems to us impossible for the SEN
ate TO escape this view on the agreed
case. Nor is II to be denied that il Quay
is felon, as appears priml tdcie on the
evidence, il is the duty Of the Senate to
expcl him. A resolution for that pur-
pose would be the proper and formal
method of securing justice both TO the

Nevertheless, while Mckinley and
his urifiite followers are thus
preparing TO abolish the foreign com
mere OF the United States, the same
party proposes to offer millions Of the
peoples money in brides for the estab-
lishment Of lines OF ocean steamers to
foreign countries. Such brides are man
iiestly the only means by which the
proposed lines can be maintained, for,
as a consequence OF the tariff bill, IL the
confessed purpose of its authors and ad'
yocates is accomplished, there can be nc
commerce to give the steamships legiti-
mate and remunerative employment
Any thing more absurdly inconsistent
than this double-ender policy OF the
dominant party can not well be-
imagined One end OF the scheme is
directed 20 the development OF larger
foreign commerce.; the other to the
sbolishment OF the commerce we al
ready have. In one point only these
conflicting policies are harmonious
The suppression of foreign trade is tC
be achieved by fobbing the people, and
the creation OF steamship lines for the
maintenance of the trade which is TO be
abolished will also be accomplished by
plundering the Treasury. We shall
have gr,at fleets sailing in ballast, sup
ported by subsidies, while we pay three
prices for homemade goods, instead OF
buying for "a fair price such goods as the
ships might bring. Chicago Globe.

BUTTED ICE.
Thrilling Experience of the Steam

She Runs Into an Iceberg. and over Five
Hundred People Have - Narrow Es-
cape Prom Going to the
Bottom.

The Danish steamship Thingvalla,
which left Copenhagen on the 9th inst,
has arrived at New York and Captain
Lamb relates most thrilling expert
cnce and an almost miraculous escape
from watery grave. The steamer col
lided with an iceberg in tho early hours
OF the morning Of May 10. Captain
Lamb says that IL began TO get hazy on
the 18th. During the night the temper
aturo Of the water was taken very fire.
quently, as the vessel was in the
region OF iceborgs coming down
from Labrador. Captain Lamb was
pciow and second ofiicer Jurgen-
son Was In command OF the dock.
The waters temperature did not indi.
cato the vicinity Of any large body of
ice. At 3 o'clock In the morning on the
18th, while in latitude ~ deg. 10 min.
longitude a. deg. 80 min, the lookout
suddenly sighted an immense mass of
ice rising twenty-five feet out OF the wa
ter directly ahead. He shouted a warn
ing. but not In time TO stop the steamer.
The engines were reversed, but the yes-
sci ran with full force into the berg.
Fortunately the ice sloped outward
above the water, and Il was the upper
part Of the vessel that suffered. Tho
iron bow-plates were ripped of and
considerable damage done to the stem.
Tons Of ice came tumbling down upon
the deck. The steamer ran full tilt
upon the berg, though she received no
damaging below the water line. There
we're 800 steerage and thirty frst-class
passengers aboard. The shock threw
many out Of their beds, and they rushed
upon tho deck, afraid that the vessel
was going down. They were quoted by
the captain and officers. Captain Lamb
says it was the most thrilling experience
in all his sea-faring life.
