shown commsndable spirit In inviting the
third party people of Ware to be present
and take part in the speaking and barbecue
to be held at Waycross on or about Sept. l.
There can be no doubt that the meeting
will be a great success. The third party
ites have accepted the invitation to partici-
pate, and will arrange to have some Of their
best speakers present. The democracy's in -
terests will be ohampioned by Congressman
Turner aud other speakers Of known repu-

how many cards l wanted, told him to help

1t begins to look as If the Clay King case,
with its miserable history, would be an issue
in the Tennessee campaign this year. Reso-
lutions have been adopted by at least one
political mass meeting indorsing Gov. Buch-
hanan's action In committing Kings SEN
tence. and at other meetings he has been
denounced. The necessity Of reform In the
administration Of the law is a legitimate
subject for discussion at political meetings.

The caving-in of the banks OF the Mis-

of the falling water, resulted few DAYS
ago, according to New Orleans dispatch,
In the loss Of a railway station at AIgiers,
which was 100 feet away from the river in
1889 aud was on land that had been con-
sidered safe since 1852. But toe loss of the
station is not OF so much Importance as
what is threatened. Where the cave start ed
the river has formed an eddy, which is said
to be steadily eating its way across the
peninsula upon which Algiers is situated.
Divers who have had occasion to go down
at that point say the water has made sub
terranean passage under the land, and at
each examination they find the passage
larger and the velocity of the water greater

being cut under the peninsula should prove
correct it would mean that New Orleans,

southern Republicans Want None,

Southern Republicans Want Money.
Just as soon as there was an intimstion
that the republican national committee was
thinking of assisting Mr.. Kolb In oontesting
the election Of Gov. Jones, of Alabama, to
the governorship republican politicians of
that state hurried to Washington to urge
that money be provided for that purpose
The sending OF money to the southern states
by the national Republican party to be
used In defeating the democracy gives
those southern republicans who have the
handling Of 1t great deal OF satisfaction.
The story Of what becomes of the bulk of
the money sent to the south for election pur-
poses would make interesting reading, 1t
is evident that the republican national COM
mittee is not satisfied that IL is all devoted
TO the purposes for which 1t is intended.
The Alabama republicans who went to
New York the other day 10 get money to
help Kolb. returned home disappointed.
They were told to wait a while, and the
probability ia they Will wait good while.
The republican national committee is not
going TO spend any money In the south th is
year unless 1t can be made to produce res
suits that will be helpful to the Republican
party. IL will help Kolb IL he can give as
suranoes that he will defeat the democrats
In November. He cannot give any such as
surancs, however, and therefore, it is not
probable that republican leaders in that
state will get enough money to make them
glad for a single day.

The proper sequel to a story Of the rescue
of lovely and rich young lady from
drowning is a marriage. with the rescuer as
the bridegroom. But it didn't occur that
way in the case Of Miss Phoebe Callan, a
Philadelphia belle, who was saved from
the hungry waves at Rockaway Beach by
Chris Althouse one day not long ago. Miss
Callan was under great obligations to
the young mao, Of course, but being a
| true Philadelphian, aud not knowing who
the young mans great-great-gr grandfather
was, she discharged her obligations in a
businesslike wsy-with a $4,000 check, SO
it is alleged. The check, if it meant any
thing besides that the young lady was
grateful, meant that Althouse was not to
endeavor to seek her hand. And he, like
the true restaurant waiter that he was,
took the tip and went away TO have good
time.
