What Was the R. and DIS PurposeP

What Was the R. and DIS Purpose?
The maudamus proceeding taken by the
Central railroad against the Richmond and
Danville railroad, which resulted yes
I terday in the Ceutrals favor, suggests q
purpose on the part OF the Richmond and
| Danville to settle with the Central upon
| fair terms only when it Is forced to do 50.
The purpose OF the mandamus was to

the movable property of the Cen
! trail railroad which Mr.. McBee,
who was superintendent OF the Central, had
taken by direction Of Mr.. Conner. the presi-
dent Of the Central. 1t seems that Mr..
Conner ordered the inventory to be taken
very soon after he accepted his present po-
sition, but was never able 30 get hold Of it,

nation was asked for. told Mr.. Conner that
it was in Atlanta. Why it was sent

the vice president is clerk in large dry
goods house. Of course the young men do
not mean to kill themselves, although
they have sworn to do so-one each year,
within a week after drawing the fatal black
ballot. They think they have done some
thing smart; something to be talked about
under the breath, with mysterious mods and
CHASTITY smiles. They have already begun
to talk about the horrible club, otherwise
the NelUs could not have found out about it.
But the smart young men are more than
apt to find themselves the butts of ridicule
instead Of the heroes of abnormal sentiment
they would like to be. Sensible people have
neither patience with nor admiration for
such proceedings.

Clarkson Against Harrison.


Mr.. Clarkson, the chairman Of the
republican national committee, who has
been recovering his health at Hot Springs
Ark. says that he does not think the Presi-
dent will bs nominated. 1t is not an easy
matter to determine when politicians OF
| MIR. Clarkson's stamp say anything for
! publication what they mean. However,
he is not regarded as being friendly to the
President, and it is not improbable that be
| is using his influence to defeat him.
The main reason Mr.. Garrison gives for
thinking the nomination will not go 70 the
President is that very few of the delegates
from republican states are Instructed for
him. The instructed delegates are from
the southern states, and are mainly Office
holders. They favor the President because
they are afraid TO oppose him.
Mr.. Ciarkson says that there never was a
republican national convention in which
there was so few instructed delegates
as there will be IN the one that
will assemble in Minneapolis. And
the most of the delegates are un-
decided as to whether it would be advisable
to renominate the President or not. They
want to confer together before making up
their minds.
There would be some force in what Mr.
Clarkson says If there were strong candi-
date, other than the President, seeking the
nomination. If Mr.. Blaine would permit
his name to go before the convention he
would be nominated without a doubt, but
it is absolutely certain that he was very
much in earnest when he wrote his letter of
withdrawal. Senator Sherman would &C.
cept the nomination, but he isn't going to
make an effort to get it. And besides he
is not popular man. He is a man of first
class ability, but he would not command as
large vote as the President.
The cold-blooded politicians" the Wash
ingtou correspondents so much delight in
quoting when they interview themselves,
and republican leaders like Mr.. Clarkson
can go on giving reasons why the President
will not be renominated, but the public will
put no confidence in what they say as long
as the President remains the only con-
spicuous candidate.

appalling ;the more 50 when 1t is remembered
that he is still at liberty and may repeat
his murderous performance at almost any
time. That the man is crazy is suggested
by the character OF his victims. Two of
them were ladies OF prominence in
society aud two were womsn of the
town. The demon probably made no
choice of whom he should kill, but slaugh-
tered the women who, by ill-fortune. hap
pened to be handIest. No clew was left by
the mysterious assassin, which perplexes
the authorities in their search for him. But.
with the aid of hounds, the searchers hope to
follow and overtake the murderer. If he is
caught the chances are there will be lynch

at once to the conclusion that such man is
not safe to be left alive, even in jail.

Average People.

M0y Riley Smith, IN Hdrper's BdEdr,
The genius scars far to the fountain
That feeds the snow-cap in the sky;
But though our wings break in the flying
And though our souls faint IN the trying
Our flight cannot follow SO high;
And the eagle swoops not from the mountain
To answer the ground birds low cry.
The world has gay guerdo on ready
To hail the feet foot 10 the race
But on the dull highway of duty,
Aloot from the pomp and the beauty,
The stir and the chance OF the chase,
Are toilecs. with step true aud steady,
Pursuing their wearisome pace.
False prowess and noisy insistence
May capture the garrulous throng
But the average" father and brother,
Tine home keeping sister and mother,
Grown gentle aud patient aud strong,
Shall learn 10 tho fast-nearing distance
Wherein hfe's awards have been wrong.
Then here's to the average" people,
The makers of home and its rest;
To them the world turns for blessing
When life its hard burdens is pressing
Tor stay at-home hearts are the best
Birds build If they will in the steeple,
But safer the caves for nest.
