We were nearing Jacksonville, Fla, after the
long trip from New York, says a writer in the
New York sun. The porter had finished brush
ing off the mother and her four daughters, each
one of whom had demanded attention every
fifteen minutes, when the woman turned and
said:
"You have been very attentive to US during
the trip, and l wish to reward you"

out pencil and note book.

that she mas been mendlng an alpaca umbrella

around he sees the wood work tinted with paint

upon his bureau taxed IS per cent, where lie
brush taxed 20 per cent. and comb taxed 80

Watson Losing Ground.

There is every reason for placing reliance
upon the reports from the Tenth district
that Congressman Watson is losing ground
He was not able to cope with Maj. Black in
their joint discussions and that fact los;
him good many supporters and now farm
ers who have heretofore stood by him and
refused to listen to anything against him
are dropping away from him on account Of
his methods for winning the favor Of the
I blacks
Finding that he is gradually losing his
white support Mr.. Watson is adopting
means to please the blacks that are not gen
| orally approved in his district. The oOnse-
quence will be that he win be deserted by a
much larger percentage Of the whites than
be expected he would, and he will not make
up this loss from the black voters.
The blacks are rather pleased with Tr.
Watsons style of stump speaking and his
efforts TO gain their favor, but they don't
seem inclined to vote for any third party
candidates In fact, except in very few
localities IN different parts Of the state, the
blacks are more than likely to support
democratic than Peoples party candidates.
The republican leader in this state, Mr..
Buck, is doing what he can 70 assist the
Peoples party. 1t seems to be under
stood that IL is part of
the plan of the republicans in
the south to help elect Peoples party's
candidates for state offices and congress.
Their purpose is tworold. They want to
prevent the democrats from getting
majority of the next House and to break
, up the solid south.
The movement Of the republicans in aid
Of the Peoples party is much more likely to
do that party harm than good. be-
cause it has a tendency to drive those mem
| beers of the third party who we're recently
acting with the Democratic party back
into that party.
It is probable that Mr.. Watson has had
his attention called TO the fact that his ca
tering TO black voters is doing him a great
deal Of harm, but what can he dos Ills
policy relative to the blacks must be ad-
hered to if he wishes to get any of the black
votes. II he were to change his tactics he
would lose what little black support he has
and would not win back any of the white
voters who do not approve OF his catering
to the blacks.
While pretending to be confident, there
are signs that Mr.. Watson realizes that the
fight is going against him. There will not
be much sympathy for him in his district
or in the state if he is beaten.

President HARRISON Defeated.

President Harrison few days ago re-
ceived an overwhelming defeat at the polls
He may not take it very much to heart,
however; indeed he should be grateful for
it, as it may serve to warn him of an i'm
pending defeat at the polls that will occur
in November. and thereby be Of benefit to
him.
The contest recently ended was for G..
A. r. sword, offered by republican news
paper, ono of Gen. Hsrrison's original sup
porters. The President early in the race
became a loading candidate. The paper, by
adroit headlines, doomed his candidacy,
calling upon republicans to rally" t. the
support of its favorite. 50 well were "bat-
tle-scarred veteran" ''comrade President"
and other G. A. r. cAtch-phrases worked
in with republican sentiment that at one
time the President led the race
But the day before the count the flood of
ballots poured in and buried the President
out of sight, and the beautiful sword, u
which would have graced President, went
to a New York colonel who sells hats. But
he sells no grandfather hats

South Carolina Is All Right

Those who thought the democratic con-
vention of South Carolina would not in
dorse the democratic national ticket and
democratic national platform, but would
name as electors men who might cast the
electoral vote Of the state for the candi-
dates Of the third party were greatly disap
pointed. The platform is as strongly DEM
ccratic as any anti-Tillmanite could desire,
and there is not shadow of a doubt that
the electoral vote of the state will be cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson.
There may be third party ticket nomi-
mated, but If there is it will not receive any
considerable support. The Tillmanites and
the anti Tillmsnites will support the regu-
lar democratic ticket, and it will be elected
by an overwhelming majority.
The fight against Tillman was hard
one and full of bitterness. Now that it is
over Gov. Tillman seems inclined to forgive
and forget. In his speech to the conven-
ton be made advances to the anti Iillmen-
ties which may in time bring about better
feeling between the two factions of the
party.
Before another gubernatorial campaign
the alliance and third party demands will
have practically dropped out of sight, and
the chances are that the differences between
the two factions will have so far disap-
peared that there will be no such cam
paign as the one just ended was. Tillman
Will not be gubernatorial candidate again,
in all probability. and without him as a
leader the factions may not find it diff
cult matter to get together. There is feel
ing of satisfaction outside of South Caroline
that the state is safe for democracy.

Gen. Field, if he has been correctly re-
ported, has modified the Peoples party idea
OF the government ownership of railroads
considerably. He is in favor of buying
"onIy the four great trunk lines" Two Of
the great trunk lines of this country are
the New York Central Vanderbilt's road,
and the Missouri Pacific, Jay Gould's road.
Are the Peoples party followers ready to be
taxed to pay enormous premiums TO Van
derbilt and Gould for their property9 But,
then, Gen. Field hardly meant what he
said. He had to say something aboutgov-
eminent ownership of railroads, aud know
ing that the billions of dollars that would
be necessary to buy all the roads could not
be raised without bankrupting the govern
ment, he thought to modify the Idea by
suggesting that only four roads be bought.

A Duel Fought IN the Dark.

old campRigner who had won his spurs in the
Crlmea, became involved in a difficulty with a
fellow officer who was well nigh damned in q

colonel, being the challenged party, selected
pistols as the weapons and elected that the
affair should occur in a dark room. We secured

much probability OF Cleveland's embracing

President
