do the costume justice; it must be seen to be

Afraid of Each Other.


In Fulton county there will be no contest
between the Cleveland and Hill factions in
the primary for delegates to the state con-
vention. An agreement has been reached
by which the delegates are to be divided
between Mr.. Cleveland and Senator Hill.
This looks as if the Cleveland and Hill
factions are very much afraid of each
other. The Cleveland men assert they can
carry the county and the Hill men make q
similar claim. But neither faction is dis
posed to meet the other at the ballot-box.
In view of the noise the Atlanta papers
have been making relative to the ability OF
their respective factions to carry the
county, this outcome of what was thought
would be an interesting political tlght ap-
pears to be slightly ridiculous
II the compromise is carried out the pub

gates being equally divided between Cleve-
land and Hill and the county will be virtu-

gates to the Chicago convention because
the votes of Cleveland's friends will nullify
those of Hills friends.
1t is claimed that the Cleveland faction
could easily elect the delegates if it we're moi
for the fact that the plan for the primary is
greatly in Hills favor. This claim, Of
course, is not admitted by the Hill men.
The truth probably is that neither faction
feels absolutely certain of its ability to wiz
the election. and SO each is glad of the
chance to avoid contest.

A Tired Editor.

There is something bordering on the pa
thetic IN the present mental condition OF
Editor Watterson, of the Louisville Cour-
ier-JouTndL. He seems to think that the
Democratic party is rushing headlong to
defeat, and that the duty of saving it from
such a misfortune devolves upon him.
There is no doubt about his sincerity. but
he can hardly help seeing that his mental
distress is having a very depressing effect
upon bis friends.
In very recent letter from Washington
TO his paper, the Louisville Courfer-Jour-
nal, he says: "In the beginning had in
tended to let the whole thing take its course
without a word. II the Democratic party
is bent on going to the devil astride Of Mr..
CIeveland's back, and il Mr.. Cleveland
himself is so dazed by the bee in his bonnet.
as to be willing, why should any dissenting
democrat interpose an objections All my
life have been fighting uphill battles for
truths which the party would not see until
it WAS too late. am tired. l have earned
a rest. II matters nothing to me who gets
the offices. never get anything but abuse
for telling the truth"
There isno doubt that Mr.. Watterson has
battled manfully and vigorously for demo
cratic principles for many years, and there
fore, 1t is not matter for surprise that he is
tired, or that he thinks he has earned rest.
But why doesn't he take a rest9 There is no
reason why he shouldn't. And If he should
be would find that nobody would object.
While the value of his political utterances
and work are well understood nobody would
be so heartless as TO insist upon his continu-
ing to protest against making Mr.. Cleveland
the nominee of the party if he is tired. He
has done what be considers to be his duty,
and. therefore, nobody can place the blame
upon his shoulders IL the Democratic party
should fail to accept his advice.
He ought by all means to take good, long
rest. By the time the campaign is fairly
started he may be so far recuperated as to
be able to do some effective work In helping
to elect Mr.. Cleveland. The people are de-
manding the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland,
and the fact that they do not seem to be
influenced in the least by what he says rela-
tive to the impossibility of electIng Mr..
Cleveland is, no doubt, what is making him
so tired.

1t is rather odd that New York, one of
the oldest states in the union, should find it
necessary to pass such law as would fit
Oklahoma. But such has been the case,
and the governor two or three days ago
signed bill recognizing squatters' rights.
The genesis of the law is interesting. more
than twenty years ago Mary A. Blizzard
took possession Of an island of about one
acre in extent in East Chester creek, which
is now in the Pelham Bay park. Upon the
island she built hotel. When New York
city acquired the Pelham Bay park property
Mrs. Blizzard tried to sell her island, but
the city refused to buy it because she could
give no title. She brought suit, claiming
that her twenty years occupancy gave her
a title. The courts decided against her, and
her hotel and island would probably have
been lost to her but for the bill which has
Just become law. This directs the con.
troller to advertise for owners, and, if none
appear, then Mrs. Billiards. claim of about
$4,000 is to be paid"

Come, john" called, with quaking heart,
Try on your shirt.
I must confess 1t bulged somewhat
In places where thought it should not,
But John, the brute, yelled out; Great Scott
Is this tent?"
And such behavior-language, WELT
He uttered things I'll never tell
/ may forget them when dwell
In higher spheres.
o, woman of the present day,
To you S inscribed this tiny lay;
You little know the man you pay
Your homage to.
If his true inwardness" you'd know
Have him your idols overthrow,
And sentiment to four winds blow.
Make him q shirt.
