What IL Lirincston,s Intantiona

There appears To be a pretty strong i'm
preston in Atlanta that Col. Livingston
will be a candidate for United States sena-
tor. Our Atlanta dispatch yesterday stated
that he would not say whether he intended
to be q candidate or not. In answer to
questions relative o the matter he said that
he had not authorized the rumor which con-
nected bis name with the ssnatorship, and
did not know what might be done by the
people. His position would seem to indi-
cate that although he has not taken any
steps to place himself before the people as a
senatorial candidate. he would not hesitate
TO do so if be thought there was a fair
chance for his success.
1t is worthy of notice that the dispatches
which are appearing in the northern papers
from Atlanta relative to the senatorship
convey the impression that he will be a
candidate for senator. If ne should be it is
not at all improbable that he would have
very strong support. 1t is now admitted
that the majority Of the next legislature
will be composed of alliancemen, and he is
the president of the alliance. II the alliance
members of the legislature should be en-
tirely in harmony they would name the
next senator. aud there is no other man in
the state who could come 50 near getting the
support Of all the alliance members as Col.
Livingston. He has made a very strong
campaign for the democratic nomi alton
for congress in the Fifth district and there
is not much, if any, doubt that he viii be
nominated and elected. The reputation he
has won in his campaign in that district has
given him a much stronger hold upon the
alliance than he had previously. He is
thoroughly in accord with the alliance and
indorses every plank in the alliance plat
form. With such advantages in his favor
it would not be at all surprising if he
should be candidate against Gov Gordon
for senator.
Before Col. Livingston defeated Repre-
sentative Stewart for the democratic nomi-
nation in the Fifth district it was not
thought that Gov. Gordon would have any
opposition for senator. Now, however, his
friends think he will have very strong oppo-
sition, and that if Col Livingston should be
candidate against him he would need all
his political tact and influence to win in the
contest. He is very popular, however, and
many alliancemen would hesitate a long
time before deserving him. His splendid
war record and long public service give
him an extraordinary hold upon the people
Had he thought there was any doubt about
his getting the senatorshipi it is pretty certain
that he would have been active in getting
Endorsements from county conventions,
mass meeting and primaries. 1t is too late
to do that now. If it is Col. Livingstou's
purpose to be a candidate tor the Senate it
is not probable that he will let the fact
be known until after the legislature is
elected.

He Fooled FIN .

Democratic candidates in Kentucky are max
ing their republican opponents very sick with
doses of the force BILL says the Louisville
COurier-Jo,rHdL Wherever a republican has
been trying to slip into office on a citizens "
ticket. endeavOring to hide his ears and suppress
his native bray az much as possible, it has been
found very effective to demand of him state
ment as to how he stands on the subject Of
Reedism and the force bill" In Washington
county even SO stalwart a republican as Hon j.
W. Lewis has evaded the questions persistently
pumped at him on this subject by Hon. W. c.
McChord, his democratic opponent for dele
gate, and has finally been forced to say that
he is not making his race a republi-
can, but as a Peoples candidate. The
force bill is a bitter pill to swallow Rev. John
A. Brooks who is trading on his reputation as
the late candidate of the Prohibition party for
Vice President, and making speeches in Ken
tuchy for Mrs. Henry, worked q sharp trick on
his audience at Mount Sterling according to the
Gazette: He read some extracts which he led
the audience to believe were recent utterances
OF Mr.. Cleveland, and asked all republicans who
Endorsed those views to hold up their hands.
Not a hand went up. Then, to the establishment
of all, he stated that the extracts he had just
read were from the messages of Presidents
Grant, Garfield and Arthur"

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has the
proper conception of what public Office
is. He has written a letter declining to
abandon his post in Washington to take
part in the political contest now in progress
in his state He says that many bills Of
importance especially to southern states,
demand his constant attention in the SEN
ate. MY friends write me, he continues.
ito come home and see my constituen IS
about my reelection to the Senate that l
am about to have opposition, which is
being quietly and skillfully organized in
my absence. tell them that l am at my
post of duty TO my state and people. l
must take the risk and leave results to my
constituents, who know me and NV his
tory" Like MIR. Cleveland, Senator Pugh
believes that public office is a public trust.
He is right to remain at this post at this
critical period, and like another great
statesman with whom he agrees, he would
rather be right than senator.

EOb'S PrAVar.

Perhaps in another generation or two there
may be eliminated from the mind of the
southern ''darkey' the deeprooted feeling
that he isn't property transferable and valuable,
says the Washington Post. At present it shows
itself often in times when a profounder emotion
dominates selfimportance or pride. This finds
ready illustration in an incident of the earth
quake that shook the Atlantic coast few years
ago.
On one of the Georgian plantations lives Bob
big, brawny. black, a famous leader of prayer
meetings an revivals among his people. When
old earth gave her first palpitant throbs that
night all of Bobs friends and co-laborers, in
ante beum style. hurried from their cabins
to the house" They found Bob already there
kneeng in the yard, TIE planter, standing on
the steps, endeavored to calm the excitement
of the dusky, waillng group and to allay their
fears by assuring them it was only an earth
QUAKE and not the doc nsday they seem always
10 wait fearfully for. Following Mr. Ms
clear tones rang out Bob's deep resonant ones:
=. Oh Lord listen to me an don pay all yer
tenton ter the earthquake. Listen Oh Lord
TINS is Bob praying ter yer. An eff you'll jes'
save me this time, Oh Lord, Bob's your

He Was No Suicide.
From the Kansas city Globe.

Say, mister, give me some money to buy
some supper with? haven't had a bit to eat
to-day. Can't you help me along?

looking young man or one of the principal

The Behring Sea Correspondence.

The correspondence between this govern
ment and that of Great Britain relative to
the Behring sea question, published in our
dispatches yesterday, shows that this ques-
ton is no nearer settlement than it was
months ago. 1t is stated that negotiations
are still pending, but it does not appear that
the two governments are getting any nearer
together in their views. Secretary Blaine
is not making any special effort to arrive at
an agreement, and his letters do not show
that he thinks it necessary to do So The
British government has made formal pro
test against Selling and searching vessels in
BehrinR sea carrying the British flag, but
Secretary Blaine is not being influenced in
his course by it.
The Behring sea question may lead to
trouble between this country and England,
but there is no war cloud in the horizon as
yet. The impression that the correspond
ence makes is that Secretary Blaine is very
confident that vessels flying the British flag
have no right to take seals in Behring sea,
and the Marquis of Salisbury thinks they
have, but is not quite certain about it,
Perhaps the outcome of the correspond
ence will be an arbitration. The British
government would doubtless drop the mat.
ter il it were not for the persistence of the
Canadian sealers, who don't like the idea OF
having to abandon the profitable seal fish
cries, and they are not going to abandon
them if they can nag the British govern
ment into standing up for them.

up the fight for the force bill. at is very
doubtful, :" it says, 'if the bill can command
a majority of the Senate at this time, and
with the determined fight which is sure to be
made against it, its prospects are anything
but brilliant" The Commercial Adrer-

the measure, and its surrender at this stage
may be taken as public notice to the repub-
lican leaders that it will have no further
share in the proposed outrage on the rights

And was so very very nice.
And took her out to have an ice,
And watzed with her six times or more.
And showed her the conservatoire.
She really hopes that don't care;
She only wishes I'd been there
(By Jove wish so too)
And then she tells me all about
Young Smith s awfully swell turnout.
And how he took her driving down
Through all the stylish streets in town.
And Jones, who lives in New York CITY.
And is so wonderfully witty;
