The sOu,h tor Springer

A dispatch from New Ofleans shows
the sentiment in the south on Mr..
Springer's proper position TO be is fol.
lows:
The sentiment in Kentucky, Tenne zee,
Mississippi and Louisiana is strong for
Springer for chairman of the WAYS and
means committee, said a prominent poll
ticisn and Journalist, who has been max
ing tour of that part of the country
since the speakership election. 10 the
portions of the south mentioned, Crisp's
victory is not regarded as having any
anti-Clev Gland significance. They rec
ognize in the first place Crisp's
superiority over Mills in those
qualities which are essential for
the proper conduct OF the high office to
which he has been elected; they take into
consideration the Georgisn's personal
popularity and in the light of Mills great
following. both in the house and the
country, regard the election of Crisp as
something In the nature of an ccident,
occssioned BY the unwise autagonism OF
Springer by Mr.. Mills.
While the south is heartily opposed TO
the Mckinley bill and in favor OF the
Mills bill, they think the policy outlined
by Crisp in bis speech of acceptance,
when lie pronounced himself as good q
tariff reformer as any one, good
one, and believe it would not
be wise on the eve of presidential cans
psign to let Mills or anyone else intro
duce another sweeping bill. They think
the democratic party had better go be-
fore the country on the general principle
of tariff reform. able TO show specific
instances of disaster as result of the
Mckinley bill, while on their side the re-
publicsns could only decry the general
principle of tariff reform and could not
point out bsneful instances
As Springer is the same kind of tar
i'll reformer as Crisp, and as the latter
owes his election to the gentlemen from
Illinois. the south thinks he is entitled To
the most important committee position.
The south, too, is indorsing the silver
views of the speaker.
Todays Washington dispatches show
that the distinguished Ilinoisian
has received the recognition he
deserves at the hands of Speak
er Crisp, and it Is gratifying
to note that all sections of the coun>
try will rejoice heartily and sincerely in
the appointment

Palmer as "A POss,bitity.
New York World.

New J Ork World.
The statement from Washington that
the Illinois Democrats have taken up
in earnest the matter of Senator Pslmer's
nomination for the presidency may or
may not be true, but this veteran states
man has been, ever since his election to
the senate, presidential possibility.
One of the congressman said that he
would like to vote for Mr.. Cleveland :"
but that lowing to the complications in
the east it does not look as though he
could be nominated and in this event
the nomination must come west, and the
strongest man in the party to-day is the
Illinois man. Senator Palmer"
This is of course the natural view of
the Illinois democrat, as it would be of
an Iowa democrat, with the name Of
Gov. Boies substituted. But putting
aside considerations of state pride il is
worth remembering that Senator Palmer
is one of the ablest and most expert d.
enced public men OF the west, aud
that he has splendid running record As
soldier, governor and statesman his
success has been marked. The splendid
campaign OF last year. which resulted in
the choice Of a legislature that elected
Gen. Palmer senator. also secured the
election OF democratic state treasurer
by plurality of 8 S47 and reversed the
standing of the Illinois delegation in
congress. giving the ii democrats elected
out of 90 plurality of 81 200.
These results scarcely render Illinois
doubtful state though it might become
such with Senator Palmer q Car di5 at for
president-but they show the high regard
in which he is held by the people. NoIh>
ing but his age-he will be rs next year
will prevent him from commanding serious
attention as hopeful candidate in the
national convention. should the matter
be, as it probably will be, an open one
when the convention meets.
1t will not do for New York to claim
that the candidate must be taken from
this state. 1t may appear next spring
that some man outside the state would be
more sure of carrying il than any New
Yorker could be. Or II the ives ern
spirit should be thoroughly aroused New
York's claims might be overruled, as
they have been in other important mat
tiers in recent years.
1t will be a condition of politics, not
theory of economics of finance, nor a
question Of personal preference, which
will confront and control the national
democratic convention next year. And
if Senstor Palmer shall be In vigorous
health he will very likely have consider
BILE support for the nomination.

before she rose. "let us have mighty hope

The room which they entered was Gn ex-
quisite setting for the jewel it held, the
most precious one in the wealthy mer-
chants poSSesSion-his only child. She
lay like flower among the rose colored
hanglngs and furnishings, but no reflec-
ton of their hue could bring color into the
pale face lighted by large brown eyes and
short golG curlS.
Three Of her ten years had been spent in
pain, which instead of making her selfish
had done the very opposite, and she was
eager aud loving with the little services
she could render, especially to the poor
whom her mother helped.

entered, ARE ali the things ordered for

the little voice continued.
"A week, Margaret"

happy sigh

mother said, thinking to divert her. She
read Joe Worrel's letter

After she had decided what to send Joe

self and began opening pile of letters
that lay near. They were variously ad-
dressed: Simon Claus, ESQ.," mir. Simon
Claus, "Hon. Simon Claus" and so forth
Finally he took up one which bore in a
boyish hand the words MIR. S. Claus,
Esq" and the name of the city.
The letter ran thus:

Mr. Simon Claus preoccupation was
only slightly interrupted by the quaint
letter, decidedly unusual in his business
mail. ''I'll see what the little woman SAYS
about it," was his passing thought. Then
he straightway forgot it. as he had the rest
of his mail.
just then 1.-The lit woman came softly
In. She was a com plete contrast to her
big, fair haired, blue eyed Saxon husband,
being petite and graceful, with head that
sat like a lily on her slender neck, and ten
der brown eyes that were, like her hus
bands, full of sorrow. She placed herself
on the arm of his chair, while his eyes
sought hers with an Inspoken question.
''The doctors have gone" she said.
"They will be back this afternoon"
"How is she?" the man asked.
Just the same. wanted you to know.

That afternoon the physicians returned
To say they could do no more for the child

A Sensible View of tho Seat Question.

The question Of relinquishing seats to
women in the public conveyances is.
Nke the poor, always with us. Said a
man recently discussing is: There is
just this point which | have come to
realize; either must make up my mind
never to have a seat in car, or l must
decide never to give it up. | go and
come to my place Of business at the
hours when almost everybody else does;
the cars are invariably crowded and
there are always women standing to
whom it is possible to offer my place, if
| get one. Such being the case, it is
also possible for me to stand the year
through. Icannot see that this sacrifice
Is demanded by the conditions.
81 am ready to give up my seat at any
time to any person, woman or man,
whose manner or appearance indicates
less ability to stand than possess, but /
am not willing to resign it every time
find woman standing. We are fellow
travellers in a conveyance in which the
supply Of seats will never, until the
millennium, equal the demand; today !
am fortunate, tomorrow she will be,
and think most women prefer to ac-
cept this proportion of success rather
than to have seats continually resigned
to them. At least my womankind have
SO expressed themselves to me on the
subject. New York Times.
