Some time ago it was given out as part
of the republican administration pro-
gramme that Elkins should run for COVER
nor of West Virginia, with the ultimate
purpose Of being sent to the United States
Senate by the next legislature. But there
is a Chinese wall in the path of the scheme.
Elkins is not eligible for the office. The
state constitution provides that no person
can hold a state, county or municipal Of
fee who was not citizen at the time the
constitution went into effect, or who has
not been citizen of the state for the five
years next preceding the time of election or
appointment. Mr.. Elkins was not citizen
when the constitution went into effect, and
at the time of the election in November he
will have been a citizen of the state but
three years and half.

The Tone of Voice.

Front The Youths Contpanion.

FROM the Youths Companion.
IL is not so much what you say
AS the manner in which you say it;
1t is not so much the language you use
AS the tone in which you convey it.
Come herel" sharply said.
And the baby covered and wept;
Come here ~ cooed. and he looked and smiled
And straight to my lap he crept.
The words may be mild and fair,
And the tones may pierce like dart;
The words may be soft as the summer air.
And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from the inner self
And reveal the state of the heart.
Whether you know It or not
Whether you mean it or care
Gentleness, kindness, love. and hate,
Envy and anger are there.
Then. would you quarrels avoid
And in peace and love rejoice,4
Keep anger not only out of your words,
But keep IL out of your voice.

1t is to be regretted that C. C. Post has
dragged his Wits into the campaign to make
stump speeches for him. Georgians have
exalted respect for womanhood. But
when white woman makes q political

that they need not howl so much, they are
no better than negroes, something is apt to
be said that will hurt her feelings. 1t is

Two Suggestions.

Cholera may not get past the guarantees
of this country. Every possible effort is
being made to prevent it from doing so.
Notwithstanding the greatest vigilance il
/ may get into New York and spread over
the country from that city.
Every city and town In the country should
the disease II cases Of it should be brouzhs
| within their limits
Il is the opinion OF those who have had
experience with cholera that the greatest
preventiVes Of it are cleanliness aud pure
water. That this opinion is 8 sound one
there Is no reason to doubt.
Savannah has never had an epidemic Of
cholera. and it is sincerely to be hoped she
never will She should not, howevsr,
neglect to take such precautions as are
within her reach 20 prevent one.
The health authorities are quoted as say
ing that the city is as clean as any other city
in the country. They may be right. We
know nothing to the contrary. The city
certainly looks clean. But would it not be
advisable to make a thorough inspection
with the view of finding out If there are
spots that are Ia an uusanitary conditions
How ABOUT the vaults that exists in certain
portions Of the cityi Have they been at
tended to recsntlyl II not they should be
at once And there are the fruit stand
and the markets. Have orders
been given to inspect the fruit. fish, meat
and vegetables carefully and to destroy all
articles of food that are found to be IN
wholesomel If not, such orders should be
given at once and they should be enforced
strictly.
One suggestion we make to the authori-
ties is that they see to it that the city is In a
thoroughly sanitary condition, and that
only wholesome articles are sold in the
markets and at the fruit stands. Every
thing that is unfit for consumption should
be promptly destroyed.
Another suggestion we make re-
lates to our water supply. The artesian
water is pure. Our present water supply,
containing as it does a percentage Of river
water, is wholesome, but would il be whole
some II cases Of cholera should be brought
herea Would not the cholera germs get
into the river though impurities from the
shipping or in other ways2 There would
certainly be some danger from the river
water. Under the circumstances would il
not be advisable to consider the question OF
laying water main from one or more of
the wells OF the new water works
to the old water works plant
for the purpose Of obtaining
full supply Of artesian waterl The cost OF
making such connection would not neces-
Sarily be very great, because q cheaply con-
structed conduit would answer for the short
time it would be needed. Being clean and
having wholesome food and artesian water
Savannah would stand better chance than
most Of the other cities of the country to
escape the cholera If the disease should get
inside of the guarantees.

The New Orleans Prize-Firhts,

The coming carnival of sports" as the
sporting editors love to call IT, otherwise

New Orleans this week, is TO be
characterized by square dealing )" 90 Presi-
dent Noel, of the Olympic Club, informs
the public There is to be no fake bust.
ness" no draws" no cause for complaint.
The club will use its best endeavors to ele-
vate the ring, just as some persons have
endeavored to elevate the stage. In order
TO elevate the ring and renew in the palpi-
tating heart OF the great American public
the love of the "manly art"
each of the three fights must
be fought to a "standstill." For
the benefit Of those not familiar with prize
ring slang it may be stated that "a fight to
standstil" means fight that is continued
until one of the principals is pounded into
insensibility. In order to be declared the
winner one of the fighters must deal the
other blow, or succession of blows, that
will stun him for at least a given length Of
time. To all intents and purposes the van
quished must be dead for the time being.
And sometimes 1t happens that he is dead
in fact.
Such exhibitions OF brutality will engage
the attention Of mere than a million of peo.
pie In all quarters of the globe this week.
From Sydney TO ChristiAna, and all over
Europe and the two Americas, the Sullivan
Corbett fight will be matter OF prime in
terest. Ia many quarters even the cholera
epidemic will be temporarily forgotten on
next Wednesday, until after the result OF
the fight has been learned.
1t is impossible to say why such wide in
terest in anything so essentially brutal and
wholly indefensible exists, unless It is be-
cause there yet remains in civilized man
considerable Of the barbaric. But such in
terest does exist Men in these days admire
physical strength and certain kinds of pluck
and even brutality, in men, just as they did
thousands OF years ago when captivss were
made to chop each other to death with
swords In a pit while their captors looked
on aud applauded the blow that reached a
vital paFC
