Dom Pedro Talks.

Dom Pedro ex-emper0r of Brazil, says
that the abolition of slavery was the cause
Of the revolution in Brazil. He may be
right, though many of the leading men of
that country do not agree with him. They
say that Dom Pedro's government was an
obstruction to the progress of the country,
and it was determined to get rid of it. If
he had been man of great force of char
acter he might have delayed the revolution.
1t is quite certain, however, that he could
not have delayed it very long. The truth
doubtless is that the revolutionsts under
stood how helpless he was and felt confident
that he would be able to offer very little
opposition to their plans.
Dom Pedro says that he offended the
slave holders by signing the bill providing
for the immediate emancipation of the
slaves. The shareholders in his cabinet re-
signed at once and joined the republicans
for no other reason than to get revenge.
The method they took to get revenge did
not aid their cause much, certainly. Doubt
less the revolution would have occurred
even if Dom Pedro had not signed the bill.
The exiled ex-emperor is anxious to 20
back to Brazil. He doesn't expect to be en-
peror again, and he doesn't believe that the
empire will ever be re-establshed. He would
like to be elected president of the republic,
and he would not object to being a private
citizen There is not much chance of his
being permitted to set foot on Brazilian soil
again, certainly not as long as there is any
question about the permanency of the re-
1 n L. i
there, and his son-in-law would be a source
of constant trouble
Dom Pedro is afraid that the republic
will not last long, because of the unfriendly
feeling between the north and south. He
is inclined to think that Brazil will be ruled
by dictator before many years. That
would be an unhappy state of affairs for
the Brazilian people.

The chump who tries to cross the track in front
of flying trains,
His name is in the papers every day,
Ihat IS II his acquaintance distinguish his re-
MAINS
His name is in the papers every day.
The careless hired girl who, when the kindling
is wet and green,
Would hurry up the fire with little kerosene,
And give the coroner chance his jury to CON
vene,
Her name is in the papers every day.
The husband who goes home at night and scares
his wife for fun,
His name is in the papers every day,
And quite forgets he bought and told her how
to use a gun.
His name is in the papers every day.
And there's the hurried citizen, who hasn't time
to wait,
But boards and leaves the train while running
at a fearful rate
And walks with clutches afterward with slow
and hating gait.
His name is in the papers every day.
And there's the chap who monkeys with the
buzz saw when in tune,
His name is in the papers every day,
His race will likely be- eXterminated soon.
Their names are in the papers every day.
And there's his daring brother, who is still a
bigger fool
Who dies an awful death, with no exception
TO the rule;
For he the man who gets too near the hind
leg of a mule;
His name is in the papers every day

Look This Way, Governor.

Il IS understood that Mai. Campbell
Wallace. the venerable chairman of the
railroad commission Of this state, has-dster-
mined TO resign his Office. and will DO SO
Just as soon as the governor is ready u
appoint his successor. l. is Understood that
the governor is being urged 70 appoint
Mr. Charles B. Wallace, a son OF Maj
Campbell Wallace. The law requires that
one Of the Commissioners shall be an ex-
perisncs1 railroad man. or the present
! commissioners Mai. Wallacs is the only one
who meets this requirement of the Law.
His successor, therefore. must be al ex-
periencei railroad man.
Mr.. Charles B. Wallace is a farmer and
lives near Cartersville. He has had nothing
to do with railroads for several years He
has had some experience with railroads,
however, having been connected with them
ia one capacity and another for quite long
while before he turned his attention TO farm
ing.
The governor ought to take into consid-
Grafton the fact that South Georgia has no
representative in thu commission. All of
the present commissioners are North
Georgia men. Savannah is the head.
quarters of two of the largest railroad
systems Of the state, aud Macon is the geo
graphical center Of the state. One of the
commissioners at least saould BE- from one
or the other Of these cities, or from some
place in South Georgia. While it is true
that there is no legal or business reas N why
the commissioners should be from any par
ticuiar part of the ate, l. does not seem to
be altogether fair that the commission should
be wholly made up of North Georgia men.
Why not appoint Col. John Scroven or
Mr.. William Rogers to succeed Mai Wal
lacsl They are both capable men, and
both have had experience in railroad
management. Col. Scre7en was president
Of the Atlantic and Gulf railroad when that
corporation was ia existence, and Mr..
Rogers was for twenty years she supe.in-
tendelt of the Central
If tle governor doesn't want to appoint a
Savannah man, though there is no good
reason why he shouldn't do so, he might
find au acceptable and competent commits
soner IN Mr.. George w. Adams of Forsyth
Mr.. Adams is an excellent man, and is an
ex-superintendent of the Cent raj.
There is plenty Of men south of Atlanta
who are fitted for the place Maj. Wal
lace holds, and the governor would have no
difficulty in finding them if he should ID
quire for them. l. might be- good thing
for the state for him to recognize the fact
that this part of Georgia is entitled to con-
sheraton in distributing the patronage at
his disposal. Some surprisingly good re-
suits might follow the abandonment of the
beaten track in state politics.

He Didn't Want a Drink.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

An overcoatless, shvering wretch wendell his
way Slowly down Sixth street on Friday, max
ing a truly pitiable spectacle. When he reached
the old court house he stood for moment and
looked into the faces of two of the city's most
prominent lawyers who stood smoking and
chatting on the steps.
Wonder if they're sportsS'' unused the shiv-
ering man. III try EN-, anyhow, aud he ap-
preached the legal luminarieS timidly
"Will you gentlemen be kind enough to give
me the price of a drink" he asked. I'm very
sick; been on big spree, and need some slim
ulant to brace me up
Both lawyers chuckled little chuckle looked
at the shaking man moment, and then gave
MIN 10 cents each.
''Thatll buy you two drinks" said one Of
them.
After thanking them very respectfully the
man walked off brisky and turned the corner
into SAMSON street.
Let's follow that fellow and see where he
buys his drinks, said one lawyer and as the
other agreed they started in pursuit Watch
ing the man closely his purSuers saw him enter
a restaurant. When they arrived at the door
he was seated at table with a sueaming bowl
OF vegetable soup and a big plate of bread in
front OF him. The two men entered the place
II thought you were going to buy whisky
with that money" said Que of them
Il am sorry | deceived you gentlemen" was
the reply, but L didn't want the whisky,
wanted food, was hungry
We'll, why didn't you say sou
Because l didn't think you would have be-
lieved me had | said So was the reply.
The two men looked into each others eyes
for moment. One gave the poor man a silver
dollar, and the other followed suit Then thew
walked out with solemn faces.
Amy man who says he understands this
world is a blanked liar. said one of them. The
other said nothing. 1t was a lesson which will
long be remembered

Precautions Used in Chicago.

a handsome young woman, with short, curly
mar, wearing double helmet cap aud a tight
waking jacket, was passing down State street
her sort blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and certain
feminine something about her were the only
evidences, except her skirt, that she was a
woman. One had to look twice to be sure that
she wasn't a beautiful boy
Directly In front Of the State street entrance to
Marshall Fields retail store she was overtaken
by an accident. Her skirt fell down.
Under the old dress regime the situation
would have been indescribablY embarrassing.

costume was in keeping with the lower.

TO bring up her skirt.

Mr.. W. D. Cabolswrites to Washington
newspaper that he has recently had an ex-
perience which convinces him that the race
question should be left to the southern peo-
pie for settlement. The experience to
which he refers is as follows: He gave the
land upon which to build church for col
ored people in Virginia county He also
gave the equivalent of $50 The white
men of the neighborhood agreed to erect
the building if the material was secured,
and their wives and sisters encouraged the
movement Mr.. Cabell inserted in two
Washington newspapers a notice urging
northern people to contribute He paid So
for the notices, and his appeal brought in
81. This caused him to think that the
northern people were not really interested
in the advancement of the southern col
ored people, and that they were hardly the
ones to settle the race problem. Northern
millionaires have given much for schools
for colo:ed people in the south, bat the
northern people generally have given moth
ing. Mr.. Cabslrs conclusion is a very nat
ural one.

Physicians in indianapolis are perplexed
over the case of Miss Shaw, of that city.
The young lady began to sneeze a few days
ago, and she kept it up incessantly several
hours While under the influences of
chloroform, the sneezing was stopped, but
as soon as the effects of the drug began to
die out she commenced again. This sort
of thing continued forty-eight hours before
it could be stopped altogether, and at the
end of that time the young lady was more
dead than alive, AMI her throat was 50
much swollen that an operation had to be
performed upon it.

Power at Any Cost.

According to the report of the proceed
ings of the republican caucus, the repub-
licans purpose to seat enough republican
contestants to give them q good working
majority before adopting any code of rules
They will then adopt rules for the govern
ment of the House, but not such rules as
they would adopt if they should adopt them
before taking up the contested election cases.
This is virtual admission that they in
tend to unseat democrats and seat republi-
cans without any regard to the evidences in
the contested cases. They want a good
working majority, and they intend to have
it by riding roughslod over the democratic
minority. They look to the spe tker to
make rulings that will insure their success
If they make any such arbitrary and un-
just use of their power, they will near pro-
tests from all parts of the country and
their course will be condemned in the con-
gressionai elections next fall.
They admit that they would adopt rules
at once that would give the speaker power
to do what they want done if they were not
afraid to do SO. They now that there is
strong probability that they will be in the
minority in the next congress, and they
dare not adopt a set of rules that might be
used against them then. But whether they
adopt rules that will deprive the minority
of its rights or depend upon the rulings of
the speaker to silence the minority they will
make precedent that will be full of danger
and productive of trouble.
