church of Georgia was once slave.
Frederick Smith. son of the late William
Henry Smith, is about to run for parlia-
ment He is only twenty-three years old,
and great lover OF athletic sports.

The most curious character on the Island

nation that recognizes his sovereignty.
James Stephens, the famous Fenian head
center, is seventy years old, yet he retains

Empress Elizabeth of Austria is a de-
voted admirer of the poet Heine, whose

Baron Hirsch is said to be worth $780,,
000,000 He made his wealth chiefly out of

his financial hackers when he assumed the

railroads would not succeed, and therefore
withdrew their support.
The late George Balm was in all liBeli-
hood the most popular man in St. Louis.
As president of the Merchants Exchange of

cles he had a national reputation, and he
was enterprising, generous and open
hearted.

Confidence in Texas Restored.
Fort Worth Daily Mail

Immediately after the alien land law went
into effect the foreign loan companies in
Texas ceased lOaning money, and the mana
gers here acting under orders from the
home Offices, began sending money back to
Europe as fast is it could be collected on
outstanding claims. This was taking thou
sands of dollars out of circulation and out
of the country, and the effects of it were
and are still felt. As soon, however. as the
decision of Judge Goodrich of Waco, de-
claring the law unconstitutional, was rem
dered, and the authoritative report went
out that said decision would be affirmed in
the supreme court the managers here
cabled the same to the home offices, and in
answer received instructions to suspend
shipments of money to Europe until further
orders. This means that if the supreme
court does affirm Judge Goodrich's decision,
the loan companies here will resume
business, and the money which has been
driven out of Texas by the law will be re-
turned and once more go into circulation.

settle this matter officially: Is the scrap to
be with Chilli or Chile! And. If the hnal
letter is e, how do you pronounce the bally

The little display Of jingoism against

1t is not likely that u country of 100000
inhabitants will proceed to disturb the chip
on the shoulders of d country OF 60, 900, 900.
-[Boston Herald.
Any sort of q row with Chill that would
break off diplomatic relations would be q
godsend to the Harrison administration. if
for no other reason than that 1t would en-
able it to get rid of Pat Egan without re-
calling him.-[St. Louis Republic.
Whatever Minister Egan's shortcomings
or the desirability of superseding him with
a Representative better qualified, there can
be no doubt that the administration had suf-
ficient provocation to take cogniZance of
the assault on the crew of the Baltimore.
brooklyn Eagle.
1t will be contemplate trick if the Re-
pubhcans magnify this street row into
something more serious. 1t will be simply
criminal if they utilize it as campaign
material, ignoring the higher consideration
of international policy which should con-
troll in such matters.-lA Atlanta Constitu-
ton. 4.
If Harrison wants to bully somebody to
show off his jingoism he should hunt up
somebody his size and not bristle up to
poor little Chilli. Let him tackle the Dem
ocratic rooster, for instance. If he gets
away with that belljgerent he may claim to
be worthy of his spurs Lafayette

THE CHILL EPISODE.

There is excellent reason to believe that
when Egan goes our pleasant relations
with Chilli will return.-!St Louis Post
Dispatch.
Wouldn't it be better to throw Egan
overheard instead of employing feet of
gunboats to float Jonah of his caliber?-
milwaukee Journal
Uncle Sam isn't shaking his fist at Chilli.
He has only intimated in a mild kind of
way that she can have the floor for an eX-
planation.-[ Philadelphia Inquirer.
There are reasons for believing that the
interests of the United States would have
been better served had Egan been recalled
some time ago Minneapolis Journal.
Perhaps Uncle Sam had better provide
himself with few more war ships before
he assumes an offensive attitude in the di-
recton of South America.-[ Baltimore
Herald.
A little scrap with Chill about this time
would be quite interesting We would
have an opportunity of showing some of our
new cruisers and battle -[Kalamazoo
Telegraph.
Evidently there is no terror to Chilli in
the name of Wharton. What we need is a
few dispatches signed Blaine to strike ter
TOR to the southern end of America.-[Min-
neapolis Times.
The fact that Benjamin Harrison is triie
bench legged was never more apparent than
at present. He is fairly dragging his coat
tails along the ground waiting for Chill to
step on them.-[Louisville Post.
Chill has refused to give reparation to the
United States. Now for the iveliest times

Mr.. CLEVELAND went from New
York when fierce political contest
was going on and when al the Demo-
cratic strength was needed, to Massa-
chusetts, which is not near so impor-
tant q state, and put forth his efforts in
behalf of Russell. The loss Of Massa-

an effect upon the Democratic fortunes
in 1892 as the loss of New York would.

NEW YORK AND OHIO TO-DAY.

The elections to be held to-day in
New York and Ohio are of more inter-
est to the people of the country tlarge
than are the elections in the other
states. There is an interesting contest
going on in Pennsylvania, where the
local NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the Repub-
licans gives the Democrats fair
chance to win. Notwithstanding the Re-
publican majority of 1888 in 1888.
The cleanness of Governor Boies' adj
ministration in Iowa is expected to put
him in for g second term, despite the
fact that Harrison carried the state by
81. 121 over Cleveland. The same argu-
ment is used for Russell in Massachu-
sets, though the Republican majority
of 32,037 three years ago shows heavy
odds to overcome. All these states
have Democratic governors, but such
condition of affairs is unnatural. Boies
is the first Democratic governor that
Iowa has had since the war; and the
long line of Republican governors in
both Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
has been broken but once in each state.
prior to the election of the present in
cumbents, since 1860. So it is not
within reason to look for the re-elec-
ton of the Democrats in these states,
and the Democrats are not giving
+IH,.oh+ n II th,i,. 4i,,l-,t
shall be successful in them, or in either
of them, it will be great victory, and
one that was not counted upon, while
Republican success would be but
q returning to normal conditions.
But New York and Ohio are in
every sense doubtful states. They are
doubtful in the sense that the strength
of the opposing parties is so well bal
anced that the past cannot be taken as
an index of the probabilities of the
future. New York is more inclined to
Democracy than to Republicanism,
while Ohio is more inclined to Repub-
licanism than to Democracy. While
such are the tendencies of these states,
the balance is so family in favor of
either party that very slight influences
are sufficient to turn the scale either
way. An unpopular Republican nomi-
nation in Ohio elects the Democratic
candidate. if he is acceptable to the
people, and an unpopular Democratic
nomination in New York is pretty sure
to make that state Republican.
In the present contest. however,
there are so many things to be consid-
cred that the popularity of the men
who head the tickets in New York aid
Ohio cannot be counted on. If such
were the case, We believe Flower \
would be elected in the former, and
Mckinley in the latter. But the op-
pressive effects Of the Mckinley high
tariff may overcome McKinley's good
standing in Ohio, and the i'll feeling
toward Tammany may divert such
strength from Flower as to lose the
election in New York.
These are the uncertainties of the
situation. Nothing can be predicted
with confidence. The counting of the
vote only can tell us more than we
know now, and this knowledge The
GAZETTE hopes to impert to Its
readers tomorrow morning.

The Loss of Friendship.

At this time the relations between O'Shea
and his wife, never, apparently for years,
cordial, became very strained. O'Shea had
then definitely taken Chamberlain's side in
the home rule disputes, and had euarreled
publicly with Parnell About this time, too,
he began to write those letters complaining
of his wife's relations with Parneli, which
formed the foundation of the divorce suit
Though it is not clear that he had at that
time any intention Of proceeding against her,
he was in this peculiar position: He evil
IDENTIFY did not desire to quarrel outright with
his wife, for under Miss Woods will he, in
common with her, would get the benefit
as trustee of the money FOR the

it would be quite On the cards
that Mrs. Wood would so alter her viii as
to exclude O'Shea from this advantage At
