Harrison's Trip Through the South
Did Not Cure Him of Sec
tionalism.
AS Strongly in Favor of the
Force Bill as He Ever
Was.
He Will Aid and Abet by All Means in His
Power Another Election
Measure.

WASHINGTON, May oU.-Surpflslng as 1t
may be, the emphatic comment made by the
presidents friends here after his return
upon the real meaning of his utterances
while he was journeying through the land,
is 4 Reputation of the assumption that his
trip through the south mush have cured him
of the more extreme of his sectional preiu-
dices.
They declare that he stands now precisely
where he stood before on the subject of
regulating elections IN the south, and that
his future coarse and recommendations will
make the facts plain to everybody. TIE
democratic party, they assert, would do
we'll to bear this in mind, and they compli-
ment the discernment of Senator German,
who, in n speech delivered in Baltimore
not long ago predicted that the force bill in
some form will be revived, and that the
democrats will again be obliged to fight it.
They take issue. however, with the senator.
as to the result of that revival and express
the belief, that upon the next trial the re-
publicans will succeed.
1t is noteworthy that the presidents sup
porters are emphatic on this subject. They
talk as if they had been commissioner ex-
pressly to correct n false impression, and,
moreover. as if a great deal depends on the
proper presentation of the facts to the
country.
In conversation with a correspondent, one
who stands 80 near to the president ns to
make his observations on this point of far
more than ordinary interest and value, said:
"There never was the slightest authority
for assuming that the president. because of
the cordial reception accorded him in the
south, would return to Washington cured
as the word is, of his desire for a national
elections law. He went down there with
well-deined ideas on that subject. and he
has returned here with those ideas abso-
lutely unchanged. There was no occasion
during his absence for him TO chanqe them.
The south received him Hospitality nnd he
responded approximately. But he SAID
nothing announcing or even indicating a
change of political faith on any score. On
the contrary. he pronounced from every
stand for an implicit obedience to the law
on the part of all citizens. He distinctly
declared that the law is supreme over all
the land and that il mus be upheld in all
quarters alike. Gould anything have been
palmer than that? He mesnt by that
to insist upon different election methods
in the south, and you may be sure that il
it is ever in his power he will assist in the
inauguration of different methods down
there" sN#
'.Do you mean to say that the president
will return in his next message to the ad-
vocacy of the passage by congress OF the
force billT"
81 don't pretend to say precisely how h.
will put the matter, but | know that no will
not ignore the subject. He must take into
consideration the fact that his rcnommon-
dations to a democratic honse will meet
with NO favorable response. Still. not only

Ten Days for Wearing "Speelers."


Talking about police justices, an old
time observer said: ''We have had some
pretty good specimens of police justices in
Brooklyn long before today, but one of
the most modest, unique characters l
ever came across was the late Tom Riley.
When Riley ascended the bench he did
not know much about law, but could
beat the decks in the quickness with
which he would judge prisoner by his
appearance. In those days what were
known as "speeler' trousers were in
vogue with certain young men, and Riley
was very much down on them. Indeed,
it was said that the mere fact that an
accused person had his neither limbs COW
cred by the Objectionable garment was
regarded by Riley as prima facie evil
dence of guilt.
Zone morning young fellow was
arraigned before him. The judge list
ened to the evidence, but that did not
seem to move him. Finally he arose
from his seat, looked over the desk at
the young mans trousers, the ends of
which protruded far over the shoes, and
calmly remarked: 'Speelers. Ten days.
1t is needless to add that after that the
new kind of trousers soon went out of
fashion. brooklyn Eagle.
