Another Good Man.

! Our friends Of the rural press, and par
ticulariy those who have been asserting
that, Mr. duTignon having Withdrawn, no
/ Savannah man has any chance of getting
the democratic nomination for governor,
appear to have forgotten that Col W. ".
/ Gordon lives in Savannah He may not be
a candidate for the governOrship, but no
one who knows him doubts that he would
make one Of the best governors Georgia
ever had. Is there an intelligent man in
the state who does not know that he is one
Of the ablest members of the legislature,
and that during his service in that body he
has shown exceptionally clear judgment
and great intelligence in dealing with pub
lie affairsl During the last session Of the
legislature, and also the previous session, no
other member commanded more attention
in debate, and no other one was listened to
with more pleasure. The reason was that
be always had something TO say that was
worth hearing. He made himself master of
his subject before he attempted to enlighten
others with respect to it. Indeed, it is not
too much to say that for solid attachments
Col Gordon has no superior in the legis-
lature.
He may not be ambitious to be governor,
and it is quite certain that he is not going
to seek the Office, great as the office is. The
people, however, may take notion that it
would be good thing for them to have a
man In the executive chair whose chief am
bition would be to advance their interests
in every way in his power, and who would
bring to the discharge of his duties a wide
acquaintance with the affairs of the state
and the finest kind of business qualifica-
tons.
Col Gordon is just such a man as the
people want for governor. They would
search long time before finding any reason
able objection to him. He has been faith
full and conscientious public servant since
he has been in the legislature, and he would
continue TO be such a servant if he
were chosen governor. 1t may be found
difficult to make choice from among those
who are row recognized as candidates In
fact, several of them will have disappeared
from the contest before delegates to the
nominating convention are selected. 1t
would not be surprising, therefore, il those
who know Col Gordon's worth should
direct attention TO him, and it would be
still less surprising if he should have host
OF friends in the nominating convention.

A Religious Rite.

Congressman Allen of Mississippi has been
telling Tribune c0rresp pendent some incidents
of q congressional excursion to Oklahoma
which Representative Mansur of Missouri got
up last year. Before the congressman left
Oklahoma the ladies of one of the towns in
which they were visiting gave a reception in
their honor. One of the ladies delivered an adj
dress of welcome. Col Mansur as chairman of
the visiting delegation of statesmen, made the
reply, and in the course of his remarks he said
that he had read in lecture by Alexander
Campbell, the founder of a religious sect an
account of the creation of woman by the ruler
of the universe The colonel went on to saw
that God. in his wise providence, according to
the Rev. Mr.. Campbell, took rib from a man s
side, and out of that created woman Ha
didn't take her from the head, because he
did not want her to be above man: he
didn't take her from his foot because he did
not intend that man should trample on her:
but he took her from his side-near his heart
and from the left side. 1t was intended that
she should be loved and protected by man, and
she came from the left side becaus4 man gen
his left hand The Missourian fairly outdid
himself in paying a tribute to lovely woman. -
and highly Delighted his fair auditors. Then
the ladies who heard of the Mississippians wit
expressed a desire to have Mr.. Allen make an
address.
Yes, ladies" said Mr.. Allen, ''that extract
from Alexander Campbell's lecture is true
am a follower of his religion myself, and
know all about it. | have known also that
our friend, Col. Mansur, usually did his hug
ging with his left hand, but had no idea that
he would come down to Oklahoma and try to
establish it as a religious rite

Growth of Social Democracy.

The result of the election in Germany, SO
FAR as it has been ascertained, is undoubt-
edly a great surprise to the emperor. The
socialists have made remarkable gains not
withstanding his recent efforts to arrest
the growth of socialistic sentiments. A
score of years ago there were not more
than 100 socialist voters in Berlin. In 1881
they cast over 10000 votes in that city,
and three years ago nearly 10000. In the
election the other day they carried two of
the six districts of that city and second
ballots will have to be taken in three others.
The opinion prevails that they will carry
those in which second ballots are to be taken
thus giving them five out of the six dis
tricts. In other large cities their success
was about as great as in Berlin. In Ham
burg they carried all three of the districts.
There are 397 seats in the Reichstag. This
number was fixed twenty years ago. The
apportionment then made was one deputy
to every 100000 of population. Since that
time the cities and towns of the German
| empire have had very remarkable growth
Population in the cities has increased very
much faster than in the country. The con,
servative voters predominant in the coun
try and the socialist voters in the city. This
condition of affairs accounts for the success
Of The socialists in the cities.
A great many manufacturing towns ha ve
sprung up in recent years in different parts
of the empire. Working people, of course
make up their populations, and among then
the socialist idea prevails 1t is regarded
as somewhat remarkable fact, however
that the socialists had so little success in the
mining districts. Doubtless there is a good
reason for their lack of support there, but
it has not yet appeared in the dispatches.
| 1t is too soon, of course, TO say what the
complexion of the next Reichstag will be
but it is considered certain that the Cartel
majority of the last Reichstag has wholly
disappeared. The Cartel party is made up Of
a coalition between the conservatives anG
national liberals. In view of the drift OF
political sentiment in Germany, it is not tC
be wondered at that Bismarck is anxious tC
resign and retire from public life.

A youth within parlor sat
The gas was burning dim,
And on his lap maid reclined
Who was all life to him.
Her arms were clasped about his neck.
Her cheek lay on his breast
Unconscious of the bloom of youth
Transferred upon his vest.
He breathed to her impassioned words
And kissed her marble brow,
Words that bound them as betrothed,
Sealed with loves sacred vow.
Thus locked in one sweet embrace
Their minds had not care,
But bark there is a creaking sound,
A step upon the stair.
The maiden fees from his embrace,
Her brow displays frown,
He grasps the family album and
Holds 1t upside down.
Each pulse it throbs with sudden fear.
AS thoughts whirl through his head
About some pas with heavy boots
And dogs not overfed.
The footsteps cease, then all is still
No, there are stifled groans,
Then the sound of woman's voice
In soft and pleading tones.

A Superstition Of Sailors.

Col. Nicholas Pike tells The BROOKLYN
Standard Union an interesting story
which illustrates the superstition of sailoS
regarding the killing of the albatross:
when l was en- route to Port Lewis. ISL
and of Mauritius, as American consul" he
says, 1.-THE albatross and petrol were always
around u vessel, the United States
steamer Monocacy, and the sailors tried
Tor a long time to get n of the former
tor me, but were unsuccessful. But at last
was caught and after great resistance
was drawn on board, but not before bis
strength and skill were taxed to the utter
most. In about half an hour another one
was taken and we let them 20 about the
deck together. They were fine birds, but
looked very droll waddling along the deck
together.
II was instructed to procure one for the
Long Island Historical society, and was
anxious to get it without injuring its
plumage, and SO gave one of these birds q
dose of cyanide of potassium, and in q sec.
Ond he lay over on his side without a
struggle. Following this incident we had
continual squalls, when I found to my ut,
ter establishment that to me was attributed
a good deal of the c~ontrariety of the ele-
ments. The sailors averred that it was all
owing to my having killed the albatross.
When the storm was at its height they en-
treated me not to kill any more of these
birds, as they are considered to be the
spirits of seamen lost in the ocean,"
