Mrs. Lease Advocates Harrison.

Mrs. Lease has bolted Weaver. Next TO
Jerry Simpson she was the strongest Peo-
pies party leader in Kansas, and her action
has, naturally, caused considerable excite
ment IN Peoples party ranks in thar state.
In an interview she says that the south is
solidly democratic and it is Of no use 20 try
to make it anything else. In the south q
vote for the Peoples party means a vote for
Harrison, but in Kansas it means just the
opposite-a vote for Cleveland. For this
reason she advises the populists Of Kansas
to scratch their tickets and vote for Hsrri-
son electors.
In the speeches made by Mrs. Lease dur
ing her trip with Weaver through the south,
and, indeed, IN all Of her speeches, she was
not less bitter against the republicans than
against the democrats. Both Of the old
parties were held responsible for the distress
Of the people, and nothing that she could
think OF was too hard to say about either
the democrats or the republicans And the
only hope for the people was in the success
Of the ex-greenbacker, whom she glorihed
as patriot and statesman.
Since leaving Georgia Mrs. Lease has de-
voted most of her talent as a speaker TO de-
scribing, with superlative Rdjectives, the
'outraRes" heaped upon Weaver aud her
self in the south. These stories pleased the
republican campaign managers Immensely
aud they finally concluded that rePetlHoh
of them in certain northern states, prlncl-
pally in New York. would be good thing
for their party. Consequently they mace
Mrs Lease an offer of s., 900 to tell the tale
OF her woes at republican mass meetings NJ
the north. She received the offer while IN
Raleigh, n. c., not long ago, SO 1t Is sald'
and took the matter under advisement
The interview noted above, oolting Weaver,
would seem to indicate that she has con-
oiuded to accept
1t IS to be presumed that the Macon small
boy and the egg that he threw will come in
for a liberal share of denunciation in any
speeches she may make in New YORK.
Having lost it's main support, Weaver's
campaign is more than apt to lag supsrfu-
Gus on the stage. But, then, it has been
tagging ever since the Alabama, Florida
and Georgia elections.

Proper Remedies in Desperate Casss

A poor woman understanding that DR.. Gold
smith was physician, and hearing Of his great
humanity, solicited him by letter to send her
something for her husband, who had lost his
appetite and was reduced TO a most melancholy
state. The Rood-natured poet waited on her in
stantly, and after some discourses with his
patient found him sinking with sickness and
poverty. The doctor told the honest pair that
they should hear from him in an hour, when he
would send him some pills which he believed
would prove of1cacious.
He Immediately went home and put 10 auineas
into q chip box with the following label: 1'phese
must DO used as necessities require: be patient
and of good heart" He sent his servant with
this prescription to the comfortless mourner
who found it contained a remedy superior 10
anything Gallon or his disciples could ever adj
minister.
Precisely the same story is told of Thackerav
who left on the mantelpece of an INDECENT and
invalid friend a little round box full Of sover-
eigns, with the inscription: These pills are To
be taken when required" 1t was a plagiarism
from Goldsmith, perhaps, but you cannot ba
wrong II you initiate good things. We should
never be tired OF plagtarizng from the good
Samaritan.
Another instance of a similar kind is recalled
when a doctor, who had attended the patient
and who was peculiarly gruff and ill tempered
man, was congratulating himself upon the skill
he had used in pulling the sufferer through his
illness.

Columbus Literature.

Columbus celebrations, Columbus pict-
ures and Columbus literature are popular
now. Last week New York spent millions
Of dollars in celebrating Columbus memory
and the event which made him famous.
This week Chicago will hold a monster
demonstration in his honor, and on Got 81
celebrations of various kinds will be held in
numerous cities of the country. And for the
next year the name of the disooverer Of
America will be household word.
During the past few months very large
amount Of Columbus literature has been
given the public, through the medium of the
newspapers principally, though magazine
writers, essayIsts and orators have con-
tributed literally. Much Of this matter has
been historically valuable, while much
more of 1t has been fictitious, imaginary
and useless. On the whole, however, it is
safe to say that the people generally are
now more familiar with the history OF the
discovery and discoverer of America than
ever before.
While on the subject of Columbus litera-
ture, it is apropos to mention the contribu-
ton thereto by Bishop Becker in his ad.
dress, delivered at the Columbus services al
the cathedral in this city last night and
which is published on another page OF tbs
MORNING NEWS this morning. 1t is a con.
else, scholarly and highly Interesting story
of the discoveries character, trials and
triumphs, and in point of historical correct
ness is undoubtedly superior to the majority
OF Columbus sketches that have found theiI

Chatham's Democracy Should Help.
The central campaign committee has
made an appeal for funds to pay the lsgiti-
mate expenses of the party in the current
campaign in this state. In a fight such az
the Democratic party has made and IS still
carrying on against the "snollygosters" and
their cspitalistic allies, the republican Of
flee holders Of Georgia, a considerable sum
of money is necessary TO keep up that or
ganization which is so necessary TO success.
1t is true that the democracy has just
beaten its foes by an overwhelming ma
jority, but it was not done by barbecues or
self admiration committees, but by the ef-
forts OF the workers OF the party, who or
gained and martialed the rank and file,
and got them out on election day.
1t is well known that the snollygosters
and the republicans are still at work TO de
feat the democracy in Georgia,
and, indeed, they have a
fighting chance in two congressional
districts. The fat that has been fried out"
of the tariff benefciaries at the north
is being sent to Georgia to buy votes
and bring out voters There is no fat
TO be fried by the democrats, ana "hab
money is needed-not for buying votes, but
for legitimate expenses-must come out Of
the pockets of the rank and file Of the
Democratic party.
The democrats of every city in the state
except Savannah have made liberal con-
tributions toward paying the cost Of the
campaign. The county democratic execu-
tive committee should see to it that this
county and city give prompt and subStan-
tial aid to the central campaign committee.
Every banking institution, every railroad,
in fact every organization and every citizen
who desires the state to prosper, should help
the democracy in putting under its feet the
foes to Georgia's prosperity. One repre-
sentative lost in Georgia may mean the
lack of the vote needed to save the state and
the country from the domination Of thous-
ands of Johnny Davenports.

Ingalls, in the Campaign.

After a season of comparative inactivity
and obscurity, for which he is not alto
gether to blame, however, the Hon. John
James Ingalls,. humorist and unemployed
statesman, threw himself into the political
breach in Kansas, at Topeka. It was his
| first speech of the campaign, and it was a
| hummer. Like vinegar on cayenne pep
per. his eloquence had apparently been ac-
quiring pungency during the time 1t had
been bottled up, and when be drew the cork
| and poured out some Of it on the heads Of
his audience it burnt. But it was enjoyed,
| nevertheless.
Among other things, the ex-senator told
| the assembled throng that the report, cir
culated by the mandarins Of the Repub-
lican party, TO the effect that it was his
purpose, furtive and concealed, to break
into the senatorial campaign this winter,
was altogether erroneous. he had no in
tention Of asking the party to send him to the
Senate, or elsewhere. He wanted nothing
that the party had TO give him, and had
gone into the campaign merely for the good
of his state The fair name of Kansas had
been marred by gang Of traitors, and
he wished to help shove them out.
At that moment he possibly held in hls
minds eye 1.-THE woman who beat Ingalls,"
the bewhiskered Scion whose bills In the
Senate to relieve the distress OF the whole
human family at one fell swoop have made
him the laughing stock Of a continent, and
the sockless Socrates whose peculiar teach
ings have stirred not only Kansas but a
dozen other states. For he charged those
whom he called TRAITORS" with having
waged a campaign two years ago that
reduced the value of every acre of land in
the state by one-half and destroyed
the capacity of the citizen to pay his debts.
The acts Of these people had caused the
name of the state to be desecrated and re.
viled, and TO get even with them and pick
Kansas up out Of the mud was his sole de
sire.
BY way Of a peroratiou and to show how
much he did not love the Peoples party the
angular orator asserted that the Disgrace
and stigma that would attach to Kansas Fl
If she should cast her vote for Weaver

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Ingalls, will con
tinue to enlivsn the campaign. From sew
eral quarters the complaint has been mad,
that there is not enough snap in the can
vass. But, if Iugalls gets into it in rea
earnest. and warns up to his work. nobody
will have cause to complain Of its dullness

few days ago that plan Of fusion had been
arranged which would insure the electora;
vote Of the state for Harrison and the cleo
ton Of five anti-democratic congressman out
of the ten to which the state is entitled. C.
H. Pierson, chairman OF the Peoples party
state committee, says there is no ground for
the report that their electoral ticket will be
retired. The managers of his party have had
no correspondence or other communication
with Gen. Malone or other republican
leaders about this or any other matter.
They are conducting the Virginia campaign,
Mr.. Pierson asserts, without any sort of
consultation with the two opposing parties.
The third partyites have ordered, or will
soon order SOC. 600, election tickets to be
printed. These are to be distributed in the
ten congressional districts OF the state Ia
the meantime the democrats are rounding
up the campaign with good work in all of
the districts. Hon. Basil B. Gordon, the
chairman Of the state committee, is devot-

of this labor. Each of the county chairmen
and the precinct leaders will be put on his
