Mourning colors the world over are
strangely contradictory. In Ethiopia
grayish brown is used as a sign of
grief, because it typifies the color of the
clay to which the body returns. Sky
blue, as worn in Syria and Armenia,
carries with it the comforting assur-
ance that the souls of the dead have
waited beyond the skies. With the
South sea islanders black and white ex-
press alternate hope and sorrow. In
Turkey the mourning color is violent,
in China white. The yellow of the dy.
ing leaf is worn in Egypt and Burmah

An Amusing Adventure Which Suggested
That Poem.
Mr.. Boyer. n London lincn-draper do
ing business in PatcrnOstcr row, near
~Cheapsidc, is said on fairly good au-
thority to have had the experience
which suggested to Cowpcr the famous
ballad concerning John Gilpin." The
merchant. so the story goes, was, to-
rcthcr with his family, invited To at
tcn1 the pleasure party at n country
place called Edmonton. lie concluded
that it would be n good plan for him
self to 90 there on horseback and send
his wife and children by car
riage. The animal which he pro-
cured was extremely obstinate and
hard to handle, and. not being
much of an equestrian, Mr.. Boyer lost
control of it. The result was that the
beast in going carried him far past his
destination, and when he got it turned
around, carried him clear back to Lon
don, to the great discomfort both of
himself and his family and friends. who
saw him dash past Edmonton twice
without stopping. The adventure came
to the Ears of Lady Austen. then a
young girl. and later in life she told it
to Cowpcr to dispcl his melancholy. 1t
is related hat when he heard it he
was extremely amused and laid awake
the greater Part of the following night
working it into ballad form. Boyer. the
unwilling hero of the ride, died on the
nth of May, 1871, at the age of ninety

Swearing by Proxy.

Back in the 4os, says the indianapolis Senti-
mel, "Old Man Mo" as he was called, proba-
bly, because he was the father of thirteen chill
dren, though yet under 10, lived in St Lawrence
county, Now York. Old Man Nc had as
complete command Of language profane as any
man In that section. His profanity was round
and strong and lurid, though it came SO easy
from bis lips as not to CRATE harshly on the ears
OF his hearer.
Near by Old Man Nc lived Deacon Brown
ptous old soul much given to lecturing his
nelghbor on the sin OF profanity.
One day the deacon borrowed from Old Man
Nc particularly stubborn and unruy mare
with which he proposed blowing some corn.
Along during the forenoon OLD Man Nc
walked over to his neighbours field to see how
he was getting along. The deacon was at the
other side OF the field. and the old man sat
down Ia q fence corner to wait for him. Pretty
soon the deacon drove up and sought TO turn
the corner. The mare wouldn't turn.
Get around there, - your old soul to
= bawled the deacon. just then he espied
Old Man Nc in the fence corner. las Old
Man Nc would say" he added, as his usual
holy smile spread over his features.

Helping Gen. Black.

There In q very general desire among
democrats throughout the state 70 send a
solid democratic delegation TO congress from
Georgia. There seeus 20 be no anxiety
about the election of any one OF the demo
cratic congressional candidates except Gen.
Black, in the Tenth district. Although in
cratic majority In that district Of over ], 200,
fears are entertained that the oolored vote
for Mr.. Watson may be much larger than it
was for Gov. Northen, because Of the efforts
the republican leaders are making 10 Mr..
Watson's behalf. There seems 20 be no
doubt that the national republican leaders
desire Mr.. Watson's election. 1t is not
known, of course. what their plans are.
Most probably they think that the third
party win disappear from the
political field after this year, and
that Mr.. Watson would rather
take his chances with the Republican party
than return to the Democratic party.
that is their view, they expect, Doubtless
that he would carry into the Republican
party large percentage Of those who are
now in the third party, and thus the hePuo-
ican party would get a much stronger Ioot-
hold in Georgia than IL has now.
But let their motive be what IL may II Is
important that Mr.. Watson should be
beaten. The democrats Of the Tenth dis
trict have very little money for campaign
purposes and they are asking democrats In
other parts of the state TO give them assist
anoe. In complying VITA their request the
greatest possible lberality should be shown.
Democrats In all parts OF the state are in
terested in the effort to elect Gen. Black,
and now that there is chance TO show
this interest in an effective way, there
ought TO be no hesitation In doing SO.
There Is no apparent reason for doubling
the election Of Col. Lester In this distriot,
but there should be no apathy in the cam
paigD In his behalf Every vote that can
be obtained for him should be polled. he
should be given q majority that would in
dicate the esteem In which he is held, and
show that tho services be has rendered the
district and the state are highly appreciated.
II majority larger than ever before re-
ceived by a candidate for congress in this
district were given him the compliment
would be one be deserves.

Gsn. Weaver,s Tall Talk.

In ST. Louis, q day or two ago. Gen.
Weaver, the candidate Of the Peoples party
for President, told a reporter Of the United
Press that he had visited every southern
state except West Virginia, and that the
trines of the Peoples party with avidity.
The ex-confsderate soldiers, be said, had
been won TO the Peoples party almost to
man. He declared that with a full count
the Peoples party was pretty sure Of sue
cess In every southern state.
Truly, Gen. Weaver must have been blind
when he was In the south, or else he knows
that what he says has no foundation what
ever. The assertion that the ex-oonfederate
soldiers, to q man almost, have espoused the
cause Of the Peoples party is too ridiculous
20 be worthy Of a denial Did he find the
ex-oonfederate soldiers anxious to listen TO
him at any Of the places at which be spoke
IN this stated And the Peoples party
claimed TO be about as strong in Georgia as
in any other state when he was within its
borders.
At the recent state election the Peoples
party made an extraordinary effort TO bring
out its full strength, and it succeeded. What
was the RESULT Why. a democratic ma
jority Of about 10000. At the state election
in Florida, where the republicans voted
with the Peoples party, the democratic ma
jority was over $4,000 With such MAORI
ties as these staring him in the face, how
could Gen. Weaver conscientiously say that
the Peoples PARTY was pretty certain of.
success in every southern state? II be does

The situation Clearlv Stated.

Senator Aldrich. the Statistioian Of the
Mckinley tariff, in an interview in New
York day or two ago said I'm this cleo
ton the entire government, in all its
branches, ia at stake, and the election Of a
democratic President will carry with 1t the
election Of democratic House and Senate"
Chairman Carter, Senator Sherman and
Secretary Foster agree that the foregoing is
a correct statement OF the situation.
What the democrats want is full control
OF the government. They will then be in
position to put their doctrines into practice.
They have not had full control of the gov
eminent since the beginning Of the civil
war. Reforms they have proposed have
been defeated by the republican Senate or
a republican President.
The Peoples party is charging them with
failing to carry out their promises for the
relief of tho people. How could they carry
them out2 But il they get full control OF
the government they will be responsible for
not giving the people the relief they de-
mand il they fail to do so.
All the democrats ask for is a chance TO
show what they can aad will do toward
satisfying the people. Let the people give
them chance by eleoting Mr. Cleveland
aud q democratic House and Senate. If
they do not then keep their promises they
will have no right to complain il they are
condamned

the inspection, he carelessly sauntered away

savannah's Great Advantages.

The public spirited movement inaugu-
rated by Col. Avery III connection with
deep water and direct trade, to show Sa-
vaunahs superior advantages to the world
in a series of strong and truthful articles In
the Baltimore Record, has reached the
point where its success is assured by our
corporations and business men,
The initial article, from advance sbeets
for the Record, is given In this issue of the
MORNING News, which will publish the
entire seriesi Toe article presents a COM
prehensive photograph, condensed, yet
vivid and accurate, of Savannah's remark
able points Of power and attraction, and
makes a gratifying picture.
An original and valuable feature of this
movement. which has pleased our practical
men. has been that the articles are to be
printed by the Record in French and Ger
man, to be sent to great business houses and
corporations IN Europe, where this truthful
information will do Savannah good.
That estimable gentleman, Mr.. L. Char
rier, the Belgian consul at Savannah, has
kindly consented to translate these articles
into the French language, as a public
spirited matter, and his name will give
strength TO them abroad.
It is timely step, with deep water a
certainty, and direct trade steadily pushing
to consummation, to let home hunters,
money investors and business men of every
kind know what claims Savannah has upon
all Of them.

The president of the Dominican republic
has conceived a novel scheme whereby he
hopes TO borrow money. His plan is to
pawn to the United States the remains of
Christopher Columbus. which are believed
to be inferred in San Domingo, for the sum
OF 100000. Upon the loan he would be
willing to pay interest for an indefinite
length of time allowing Uncle Sam TO hold
the bones Of the great discoverer as security
There has, as yet. been no movement in
Chicago toward asking for a congressional
appropriation for the purpose of securing
this Columbus relic as an exhibit for the
worlds fair. But it isn't too late for some
thing Of the kind to be done. Chicago
usually makes no bones OF asking for any
thing she thinks she wants.

republican judge of elections at West
Chester, Pa. has refused to serve under the
new Baker ballot law because, as he says,
it ID too complicated, and he does not intend
to assume the responsibility of determining
what some Of its provisions mean. This
hostility to ballot reform on the part Of the
republicans is transparent. What they really
want is a federal election law, under the
management of Dave Martin and John
Davenport. Had the force bill Of 1890 be-
came a law there would have been no
trouble about republican judges of elections
assuming the responsibility for interpreting
every one of its afty-seven verbose and inI.
