Beat the Cabman.

1t is possible that some of your readers have
heard Of, if they have not seen, Prof Bartholo-
new, the aeronaut. He is quite a character.
gangling, awkward, rural, but fearless as a
lion and as sharp as a tack, he halls from Burr
Oak, Mich, writes Eugene Field in the Chicago
NecS. Bartholomew accompanied the base
ball aggregation on its tour around the world
and here and there he gave balloon ascensions
that excited even more curiosity than did the
performances of the opponents of our national
game. Bartholomew has the misfortune TO be
one-eyed man. but the misfortune does not
occasion him much remorse: it would be hard
to find more cheerful person than he. In
Rome he came up to Dir. Lynch, the manager
OF the excursion party, and said: Leigh
could you lend me $50.
why, Isuppose So said Lynch,
well wish you could" said Bartholomew.

Bartholomew bought $50 worth of glass ewes
and he carried them around with him in bslzs
bag There were about a o OK of them and
they ratified like so many marbles. Tney were
not all the same color, but Bartholomew didn't
mind a sma matt r of tDat kind He was too
much of humorist to st exile at a detail of
that character. He said that when he wore a
blue eye he resembled his fathers side of the
family; black eye made him look more like
his mothers folk.
One day Bartholomew was ridingin a hanson
cab in London; the horse acted badly and the
driver. who was pretty drunk, lash d the brute
hercely. Whoever has ridden in a hanson cab
knows how awkward it is to have the long lash
of the drivers whip dangling in ones ewes
Several times Bartholomew ordered the driver
TO be more careful in the use of his whip but
the fellow was too drunk to pay any regard to
orders. Reaching his desti alton, Bartholomew
quietly took out his glass eye, stepped out of
the cab upon the sidewalk, and, holding out the
eye in his open maud, he said sternly to the cab.
man; Il warned you repeatedly, yet see what
you have donel Wait here, now, sir until /

To the befuddled cabman there was an awful
reality in all this. He did not wait for any
further parley- oh, no, not he Lasting his

A Case OF Mistaken Identity.

A Frankfort. Ky, dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune says: Between the Louisville Derby
and the senatorial election the whole sCate of
Kentucky was in great excitement. 1t required
a vast degree of discernmeut to discover which
question occupied the greater amount of dis
cussion. The correspondent asked one Of the
lawyers in the Office of the Capital hotel one
afternoon:
How is Proctor Knott doing?"
Well, really don't know. saw Sam Bry-

Kolb's Defeat in Alabama.

1t cannot be said that the unexpected
happened in the defeat of Col. Kolb when
yesterday the democratic convention in
session at Montgomery nominated for
governor of Alabama Col. Thomas G..
Jones of that city. Col. Kolb, the alliance
candidate, failed to gain strength in the
convention. Although far in the lead he
lacked twenty-eight of the number of votes
necessary for a nomination, and, as was
predicted in the MORNING NEWS few DAYS
ago, he had no chance for success unless he
was nominated on the first ballot. The
Kolb forces stood solldly by their leader
until the last, when they manfully and
periodically yielded to make the choice of
Col. Jones unanimous.
When the result of the first ballot was
announced kolb was practically out of the
race, and it was we'll known that the an Ii
Kolb men had formed a combination.
This compact made, the opposition to Kolb
controlled the convention. 1t was then no
longer a question of Kolb or anti-Kolb
when the convention adjourned from Fri
day until yesterday, but as to which one of
the other four candidates would
be selected. Col. Jones was the
weakest candidate, having the least num-
Der of instructed delegates, aud his selection
as the nominee may be attributed to his
popularity aud good standing with all fac
tions.
He is the ABUNDANT general of Alabama,
brave soldier with a brilliant record, who
proved his executive ability in action at
the Birmingham riot two years ago. All
fractional fights are at an end. the alliance
men having shown the true spirit of de-
mocracy by their action. The struggle for
the nomination for governor ends the
hottest political contest ever known in
Alabama.

Another f ace Problem Solution.

In the June number of Beiford,S Mdga-
zine Hon. c. E. Fenner, one of the Judges
of the supreme court of Louisiana, has an
interesting article on the race problem.
Judge Fenner is one of the purest and ablest
men Of Louisiana, and is sincerely devoted
to the interests of the people of his state
in fact, of the whole country-both white
and black. In dealing with the race prob
lem he does not write from the
standpoint of a partisan or a poll
tician, but from that of o philan-
thropist. Judge Fenner holds that, although
the negro has been civilized and christian
lied by means of slavery, he owes nothing
to any one for the advancement he has
made. Selfsnness alone has prompted all
that has been done for his benefit. He is
therefore free to pursue whatever course
seems best to him.
What is the best course9 Judge Fenner
says that the right to vote carries with it
the right of the majority to govern, and
that there are several states and mauy
counties and towns in the south in which
the blacks are in the majority. In those
states, counties and towns, therefore, they
have the right to govern. That is right,
however, that the whites are not willing to
concede to them. A superior race has never
in the history Of the world submitted to
the rule of an inferior one.
If the blacks cannot get a right which be-
longs to them by peaceful means, would
they gain anything by taking the advice of
some northern fanatics and resorting to the
rifle, knife and torchs Judge Fenner thinks
not. If race war were to be started the
white race would unite against the black
race. The white man of the north would
join the white man of the south in the
struggle against the black man, and the re-
suit would be that the negro would be worse
off than at present There is no sentiment
anywhere in the north in favor of black
rule. There is only demand of the Re-
publican party that the black vote shall be
cast for that party.
Judge Fenner thinks that the wisest
course for the blacks to pursue is to give up
their rig 1T to vote. 1t is not duty to vote.
1t is only privilege. The blacks have it
In their power to solve the race problem.
Let them adopt this platform: Govern
ment for the white-protection for the
black"
Judge Fenner gives it as his opinion that
if the blacks will give up the fact, not the
right, of suffrage, and demand that all their
other rights shall be protected by equal
laws, administered by just judges, there
would be an immediate and hearty affirma-
tive response to the demand from the whites,
and the race problem would be settled.
1t is quite evident that Judge Fenner will
never see the race problem settled by his
method. The intelligent blacks-those who
could lead their race-could not be induced
to voluntarily give up the right to vote for
the good Of their race. and the ignorant are
too much under the influence of republican
demagogues to do so.

A sample of President Harrison's nomina-
tions of men to Office is that of j. o. Kerby,
whose name is before the Senate for con-
firmation as consul at Para Kerby was a
telegraph operator during the war and
claims that he was union spy, but there is
no record of it in the war department
The Washington Critic says that during
the telegraph strike he betrayed the union,
was discharged for forgery from the Chi
cago Inter Oced1Is Washington bureau,
where he was subsequently, employed, after
which he went to work for Rufus Hatch
lobbying bill through congress and offered
to sell the letters Hatch wrote to him to the
newspapers. Lately he eloped with a
daughter of DIR. Hansel, of Washington.
Pa. His appointment is credited to Con-
gresham Dalzell, of that state. Kerby
certainly is a nice man to represent the
United States abroad. A man with a
record like that would be an honor and a
credit to his country.
