Cr.sp the FAvorlte.

It begins to look as il the question OF the
/ speakership would be practically settled
before the meeting of the democratic eau
/ Gus. Mr.. Mills. Mr.. Springer, Mr.. Hatch
and Mr.. McMillin are still pretending TO be
confident Of success, but the close observers
have about made up their minds that Judge
Crisp will be chosen without much diff
Guilty. Judge Crisp is the only one Of the
candidates who is willing to give the names
of those who are supporting him. That fact
alone shows that he knows exactly what his
strength is, and that he has no doubt that
the result OF the contest will be In his
favor.
The truth is about all the democratic
representatives believe that Judge Crisp is
the fittest of all the candidates for the office.
He has the requisite knowledge of parlis-
mentary law and the kind of tempera nent
the man who occupies the speakers chair
should have.
About all the southern representatives
fsvor him because they feel that under his
guidance the democratic majority ia the
House would not be likely to make any
serious mistakes. He would be cautious
ami prudsnt, and he has the courage and
courtesy to enforce obedience to the rules
without arousing q feeling of hostility. In
making him speaker no risk would be run.
Mr.. Mills has many admirers. and there
is undoubtedly a feeling that he deserves
the honor he seeks, but he does not inspire
confidence. He would be influenced largely,
1t is believed, by the idea that he ought to
shape the policy OF the party from the
speakers chair, and il a disposition were
shown not TO follow his lead there would
be, in all probability. a lack of harmony
The House doesn't want a man in the
speakers chair who has a hobby, or who
would endeevor to make it adopt his views
as to the policy the party should pursue. 1t
wants a conservative speaker. one who IS
quick and courageous and has good judg-
ment. Such a speaker Judge Crisp would
make. He would have the confidence of the
House in marked degree, and the belief
that he would is helping him greatly in his
contest.
Judge Crisp is making the race upon his
merits. No one raises question as to his
fitness. Mr. Mills, on the other band, keeps
the question Of fitness in the background
and makes prominent his tariff record. The
democratic caucus ought to have no diff
Guilty under the circumstances in making a
choice.

Ruined by His Son.


Overwhelmed by his misforsunes, Cyrus
". Field is at deaths door. He has been a
useful, successful and very rich man. He
is now pennileSs. Old and broken in spirit,
life no longer has any attractions for him,
and il Is probable that he will never rise
from his present sickness.
There are few Americans who are better
known Throughout the civilized world than
he. The success Of the first Atlantic cable
was mainly due to his efforts. Ia the
British parliament John Bright referred to
him as 1.-THE Columbus of modern times.
Indeed, all the nations joined in doing him
honor when the success of the Atlantic cable
was assured.
1t was only year ago that he celebrated
his golden wedding. At that time he said he
was at peace with all the world. He was
contented, and, therefore, happy man. He
had an abundance Of this worlds goods and
enjoyed to the fullest extent the society of
his children and grandchildren.
His first great misfortune came when he
lost his wife. That was on the 29d of
last month. Then came the announcement
of the failure of the Wall street firm in
which his son, Edward NJ Field, was
partner. The failure would not have been
such terrible blow had it not been a dis.
honorable one. 1t was quickly discovered
that Edward II. Field had been guilty Of
transactions which are not countenanced by
straight-for ward business men. The pride of
the Field family was humbled. 1t is a
very proud and distinguished family. 1t in
cludes Stephen J. Field. justice of the
United States supreme court, David Dudley
Field, the codifier of the laws of New York
and one of the most eminent lawyers in the
country, and Rev. Henry II. Field, a promi-
nent clergyman.
But the heaviest of all of Mr.. Fields mis-.
fortunes was the discovery that his
son had taken from him every dol
lar possessed. The story is that
when Edward II. Fields obligations
in Wall street became pressing he went to
his father for help. His father trusted him
implicitly and gave him the key to the
box in which he kept all of his securities,
telling him to take such as he needed to
tide him over his difficulties. The son took
everything. He left absolutely nothing
Of value. He is now in an insane asylum,
but it Is not believed that he is insane. The
law, however, cannot lay its hands upon
him whIe be is under surveillance as g
lunatic.
Many things are done in Wall street
which cannot stand the light of publicity.
There are transactions there which wreck
homes, ruin character and fill graves, but
it is seldom that the street furnishes such an
example Of selfishness and depravity as that
presented by Edward f. Field.

Debated By the Alliance.

A dispatch from Chicago to the New
York Tribune gives what is alleged to be
an interview with Gov. Campbell. Of Ohio,
in which the governor says that the farmers
alliance caused his defeat. In the course Of
his interview be is reported to have said:
was wofully deceived in the farmers al
lance vote. The two parties lost II 800
votes to the alliance. figured that MIR.
Mckinley would lose more in that direction
than would, but be lost 5000, while lost
$500"
Ii what Mr.. Campbell says Is correct the
greater part of the alliancemen who were
republicans, instead of voting the third
party ticket, voted the republican ticket,
while nearly all Of the alliancemen who
were democrats voted for the third party
candidates. Representative Simpson, SEN
ator PETER and other alliance leaders who
took part in the Ohio campaign. said that
the purpose of the alliance in
Ohio was to prevent the reelection of
Senator Sherman, aud that its efforts would
be directed to the election OF a democratic
legislature. They do not scam to have had
any influence with the alliancemen, Judging
from the result Of the election. The legis-
lature that was elected was overwhelmingly
republican, and Senator Sherman will
be reelected. Instead of defeating
the republicans the alliance defeated the
democrats. The course pursued by the
Ohio alliancemen-those of them who form-
erly affiliated with the Republican party
can be explained In only one way, and that
is that they ara more strongly attached to
the Republican party than to the
third party or the alliance. In
Ohio the republican platform
contained planks commenting the McKIn-
ley tariff and condemning free coinage Of
silver. Alliancemen are supposed to OPP
pose the Mckinley tariff and to favor FREQ
silver coinage. How was it then that 50
large proportion of them voted with the
Republican party! The only answer is that
| aliiancemen who were republicans cannot
be depended upon TO vote against the Re-
publican party.
Here in the south alliancemsn are told
that in the west alliancemen will support a
third party. That this statement is not
true is shown by the way alliancemen who
had been republicans voted in Ohio.
1t would be well for southern alliancemen
who are thinking of affiliating with the
third party to think twice before doing so.
If they think western alliancemen ara going
to support the third party 10 any consider
able numbers they will find that they have
made mistake. In the west alliancemen
who have been republicans are not yet
ready, and they may never be, to see the
the Republican party beaten in a national
contest. In Kansas only have they taken
stand against that party. and even in that
state it looks as If they were about tc return
to it, If southern alliancemen are wise,
therefore, they will not hastily ally them
selves with the third party.

Old residents of South Carolina will prob
ably remember Mr.. Edwin De Leon, who
was born at Columbia in 1923 and who died
in New York day or two ago. During the
administrations Of Pierce and Buchanan he
was American consul general in Egypt and
had very extensive experience as a diplomat
ist and an author. Several of his works are
standard authorities abroad as well as
here upon the subjects of which they treat.
Besides a surviving brother at Mobile Mr..
De Leon had relatives in Washington and in
New York. Few men have led a more
eventful and uniformly successful life than
Mr.. De Leon did.

The man with the game leg drew the stand
next to the post and asked as a favor that he

the principals were ordered to take their posi-

There are thirteen school buildings in the west
and south divisions OF the city which have halls
in which public lectures such as those now given
In the New York schools might be held There
is no reason why the public school houses should
not be utilized here as In the metropolis for
travel These lectures IL carefully selected,
could be made very popular and highly bene-
fetal to the masses. The school board
might well take this matter under consideration,
and we hope that before the winter Is over free
evening lectures viii be given In every school

Writing to his paper from Savannah
Editor Wilder tells the readers Of the New
Haven Palladium that the prejudices of
New England against the people and pre-
vailing customs of the southern states are
the result Of staying in one circumscribed
locality and doing their guessing from a
distance. In other words it Is the narrow
mindedness of provincialism and lack Of
actual information upon the subject of
which they presume to form an opionion.
Provincialism is full Of narrow prejudlces
everywhere. Information broadens the
views and quickly dispels such unworthy
prejudices. -
