the edge Of the curb in front of the Metropol-
itan-a dozen or more gentlemen of the NJ. @.
order mostly from the south, says the Wash
lngton Post. Last evening the breeze was not,
but the group was there just the same, and one
OF them was signing for rain to temper the
heat-laden atmosphere.
DO they ever pray for rain In your country?'
said the member from Texas. Down our way

member hearing an old-rsshioned preacher
once at camp meeting in the eastern part of
the state put up the most urgent petition to the
throne OF grace for relief from a severe dry
spell that anybody ever listened TO. He was
very fervent and wound up by saying:
20, Lord do not send us any of your little,
drilling showers, but a regular trash mover,
frog stranger, and gully-washer, one of your
old-fashioned soakers that will All up all the
water holes and bring relief to the afflicted land
well, in about forty-eight hours after that
prayer there came the biggest rain in the history
of that region. 1t was a trash mover, sure
enough; in fact, regular freshet, and it did a
sight more harm than good. for it swept
away all the fences and bridges in the county
and over half the crops were washed up. The
neighbors were indignant because the old par.
sons prayer seemed to meet with superabun-
dant success, and he was never again called on
to do any praying for rain"

He Told.

Early yesterday morning very distingue
looking lady came down Sixteenth street walk
ing very fast Upon her head she wore large
pink, funnel-shaped sunbonnet, says the Denver
Sun. Her dress was so wellmade and fashion,
able that every one had to take two or three
looks to decide whether or not she was from the
country or whether she was a city belle in dis
guise. She held her head down so that no one
could see her face. A young man stood in the
doorway OF the Peoples Bank building, and
when she passed said:
Col, bonnets!" in a tone which he didnt
intend for her to hear.
But she did, and in spite of herself she looked
up for second. To his CONSERVATION he rec
ognized her as one of the society girls way up

Chairman oarter's Programme

A psrt OF the programme Of Mr.. Carter &,
chairman Of the republican national com
mittee, is 30 carry four southern states, viz. :,
Alabama, Tennessee. North Carolina aud
West Virginia Evidently Chairman Car
ter is very ambitious. He thinks no can
conduct campaign that will break the
solid south. Other ohsirmen Of republican
national committees thought they could do
that. Chairman Carter is young and full
Of enthusiasm. He is determined to dis
tingush himself.
Chairman Carter thinks he sees a chance
to do what other chairmen Of national
committees of his party failed to do. The
situation In the south, he says, is so differ
emit now from what 1t was in previous ma
tional campaigns of recent years that the po-
litical horizon in this section presents q few
rainbows of hope.
Charm an Carter will fiud that these rain
bows will disappear as the campaign pro-
crosses. 1t is true that In Alabama there is
split In the Democratic party. but the
two factions will get together pretty soon
after the state election next Monday. The
Kolb faction will be routed and the demo-
Gratis in that faction will be swallowed up in
the ranks OF the regular democracy and will
vote the democratic ticket IN November.
The Peoples party have a pretty strong
hold in Tennessee and North Carolina, but
not strong enough to endanger the success
Of the Democratic party. The more the
people in those states learn of the Peoples
party ticket aud platform the less inclined
they will be to give them support. The
necessity for democratic success will be SO
strongly impressed upon them that they will
not throw away their votes on the Peoples
party. West Virginia is a close state and
some hard work will be done there by the
democrats 1t is pretty safe 10 predict that
they will hold it In the democratic column.
II Chairman Carter is wise he will not
waste much time or money on the solid
south. The chance of his losing the fight
by losing northwestern states is greater
than the chance Of his gaining it by winning
southern states.

The Contest in Alabama.

The state election in Alabama occurs next
| Monday. The campaign, conducted on one
side by Gov. Jones, who is the regular demo-
cratic nominee for governor, and on the
other by Mr.. Kolb, who Is the nominee Of
the independents, has been, thus far, an ex-
ceedingly bitter one. There is absolutely
no reason why the people Of Alabama should
elect Mr.. Kolp over Gov. Jones, and it lie
not probable that they will do so. MIR.
Kolb tried to get the nomination for gov
ernor when Gov. Jones was nominated the
first time, and was far from satisfied when
the convention decided against him. He
was again a candidate before the last state
convention, and when he saw that he had no
chance for getting the nomination, he and
his friends bolted and set up a convention
Of their own. The ground of their bolt was
that certain oontesting delegates, who were
Kolb men, were denied seats in the con-
vention.
1t is charged that Kolb has made
combination with the republicans, and If he
is elected it will be largely by republican
votes. In that event it is only reasonable
to suppose that the blacks will be given a
share Of the Offices The Kolb combina-
ton, therefore, would be an entering wedge
that might open the way for the republicans
to get control Of the state.
Surely the people of Alabama don't want
another experience with republican rule
which would be virtually black rule, be-
cause the Republican party Of the state Is
made up almost wholly Of blacks. The
state is now in an exceedingly prosperous
condition. Gov. Jones has made an excel
lent governor. 1t would not be an easy
matter to point out an Questionable
feature of His administration. The taxes are
low, the credit OF the state Is high, the
public school system is on an excellent
basis. the obligations Of the different coun-
ties are promptly paid, and the people
are as contented and prosperous as
those of any other state in
the union. Why, then, should they at
tempt the doubtful experiment. of putting
the administration OF the affairs.of the state
in the hands of a man who is understood to
have made overtures to the republicans, and
whose chief excuse for making an indie
pendent campaign is his desire for office.
The outcome of the election on Monday
will be looked for with profound interest.
II Kolb is defeated the Kolb organization
will 60 to pieces, and the opposition to the
democratic national ticket in November
will be very slight.

Some Campaign Humor.

Once in awhile speaker gets wrong i'm

q writer in the Chicago Nejcs. During the
campaign Of 1880 l was addressing a mass
meeting in grove one evening The chairman
had informed me that after my speech the
audience would be addressed by TWO or three
local speakers, who were then sitting on the
platform, but whose names he did not mention.

still further. So / talked on for about twenty
minutes longer, when there came a still louder

refusal to act as he wished, Greeley declared:

A Blow at McKinleyism.

Our dispatches yesterday announced that
the republicans of Minnesota had nominal
ed ex-Congressman Knute Nelson for gov
ernor. What does this nomination meant
Does It not mean that the republicans of
Minnesota have squarely repudiated the
Mckinley tariff and the tariff plank in the
republican national platform. Mr.. Nelson
is s tariff reformer OF the rabid kind. He
was a member of congress when the Mills
! bill was introduced into the House, and he
supported that measure. Since then he has
made no sign that his tariff views have IN
dergone change. 1t is quite certain they
have not.
Does not the nomination mean that in the
great northwest there has been a marked
change within the last two or three years in
the views OF the republicans with respect to
the tariff No other explanation can be
given of their action in nominating Mr..
Nelson.
II the great majority of the republicans
OF Minnesota have become tariff reformers
will not they very generally support the
democratic national ticket in November9
IL Is certainly reasonable TO suppose
paign are the tariff aud the force bill The
republicans are trying to push the force bill
issue In the background, because they have
discovered that It is not popular anywhere.
II Is certainly not popular In the north
west On what issue then can
the republicans Of that section Of the coun-
try be asked to support the republican ma
tionsl ticketl 1t would be folly TO talk Of
the Mckinley tariff TO them. In Minnesota
they would point TO their nominee for gov
ernor aa expressing their sentiments on that
subject. IL would not be advisable to In
troducs the subject Of the free coinage OF
silver because the democratic position on
that subject is more liberal one than that
Of the republicans.
II the nomination OF Mr. Nelson means
anything ID means that the republicans
have nothing to offer In the northwest that
is acceptable to the people Of that section.
At the third party meeting in this city
this week one Of the speakers said that the
Democratic party did not know where its
overwhelming majority in the present
House came from. He intimated that those
who now compose the third party furnished
it. He was mistaken. The democratic ma
jority in this House is largely due to the
revolt in the republican ranks to the McKin-
ley tariff, and those who voted against that
tariff in 1890 are going TO vote against it in
1892. The Minnesota republicans would
not have nominated for governor a man
who voted for the Mills bill il they intended
to uphold by their votes the Mckinley
tariff.
