THE TRUTH ANSWERS.

The jackson Patriot interviewed"
Warden Davis, OF the State prison,
anent the TELEGRAM-HERALD's DIS
patch from Jackson relative to the run
ming of the institution under reform"
auspices. Something must have walked
up Warden Davis wonderfully TO in
duce HIM to submit to an interview.
1t has been the pride of his position
that he has no use for newspaper men.
but all of sudden he awakens to q
realization of the utility of q reporter.
OF course, under the inspiring inhu-
ences OF so great an honor conferred
upon the Patriot, that paper charac-
terizes the report of the TELEGRAM
HERALp's correspondent as "the gauzl-
est kind of fake, purporting to come
from Jackson" Without bandying any
words with Warden Davis apologist,
we simply reply that the TELEGRAM
HERALD's information came from just
as near the throne as the Patriots.
The TELEGRAM-HERALp does not have
to resort to fakes when dealing with
reform" management. The truth
answers all purposes.

THE keen anxiety which is at present
blowing deep burrows in the breasts Of
Democratic editors, in certain parts of
the country, is shown by the following
item Of news telegraphed from Topeka:
1.-THE Democratic editors who have de-
cidcd to oppose the progress of the
Farmers Alliance in Kansas, will hold
another meeting here today. At the
last meeting, about three weeks since. .
committee was appointed to prepare an
address to the people of Kansas and
another to the Democrats of the Nation
containing warnings against the new
tangled political party. The committee
IS ready to report. The document,
among other things, will justify the
Democratic editors in turning over q new
leaf and commencing a systematic and
determined warfare on the Alliance"
The Alliance had a very winning aspect
for time, but it threatens the Democ-
racy of the solid South. Between the
Southern Democratic shotgun and the
Northern Democratic blow-gun. the
Alliance will have q hot time.

Saratoga Is always favortte place
fnr politicians and statesmen TO con-
gregate during July and August II
seems 10 be particularly favored by
them this year. A number Of noted
men have already put In an appearance
here, and many others have arranged
IL make this their summer residence.
The selection of Saratoga as SUM-
mer residence of senator Arthur L.
German, of Maryland, for himself and
family has made this place a sort Of
national headquarters for the demo-
cratic leaders. The little giant Of
Maryland is regarded as sort OF lion
among the throng of politicians here.
and with his strikinply handsome face
he Is greatly admired by the ladies as
well.
Senator German. a few years ago, was
considered one of the best baseball
players IN the country, and is yet pas
sionately fond Of the great national
game. Nor has he lost his talents as
baseba.list, as his fellow hotel guests,
who witnessed him playing catch with
his son, can testify. Upon this occa-
sion he displayed great skill in handling
and catching the ball. He has a way
of giving his arm a peculiar jerk that
will send the ball great height in the
mir. almost in straight line, and with
out having 10 move more than few
feet the senator is able TO catch the
ball again with one hand. lie can stand
off twenty PAGES and catch the ball ev-
cry time just as hard as his son can
throw ut him.
Mr.. Lcech, who holds n position in
the New York custom house, sat on
the hotel piazza yesterday and watched
Senator German as number OF noted
politicians thronged about him. "On-
ly what seems few years ago
1 little thought that Arthur German
would be playing the part in our
national affairs that he is now" said
Mr.. Leech TO me. ''Gorman and were
pages together in the United States
senate, and there were several of the
pages who most people thought would
cut bigger figure in the world than
young German, but he has left us all
far behind in the procession. He was n
NCTy DDN t4itn uS 10 'NAy
quiet man now. The brightest one of
the pages who worked with German
and myself was'DiclS Townsend, after
wards congressman from Illinois. No
one would have thought OF comparing
Townsend then with German from an
intellectual standpoint. When they
both began to take part in national af-
fairs no one would compare Townsend
with German, although Townsend
made very fair congressman. Yes,
German was q great ball player even in
those days"
Charles A. Dana, the editor of the
New York Sun, has been another noted
man who has attracted his share OF at
tention here. In his talks with politi-
clans and other people he met he ex-
pressed his opinion in the same free
manner as he does in the columns of his
