The Silent German.

Senator German is keeping remarkably
quiet. He is not saying anything TO the
newspapers for publication and the news
papers are not finding out his plans. if be
has any. A Washington special to the
Baltimore Sun says that IL Senator Hill
becomes convinced that he cannot get the
nomination he will throw his strength to
Senator German. Among the senator's he
is regarded as a very promising dark horse.
There Is no doubt that Senator German
has q strong hold upon the democratic
masses. His splendid fight against the
force bill made him great favorite in the
south, and If he should become prominent
In the contest for the presidential nomina-
tion he could depend upon a very hearty
southern support.
And that he will become prominent is ex-
trensly probable. The fight that is
going on In New York between
the friends of Senator Hill and
Mr.. Cleveland will create doubt whether
either Of them can carry New York, and In
seeking for a candidate who can 1t would
not be at all strange If the choice should
fall upon Senator German. He has not an
tagonized either Of the factions in New
York and is not likely to do so. He has a
reputation for shrewd political manages
ment and also for craftsmanship. While
considering those most available for the
nomination IL would be well to keep Sena-
tor German In mind.

Adopted q Rubber DOG.

Dog stories. like piscetorial yarns. very often
need grain or two Of salt to make them
palatable, out here is one, says the New York
World, which the writer can vouch for as
plain. unvarnished tale
For over seven years there has been IN the
home OF family living not far from Fort
Greens French poodle which. having been
Drought 70 the house when a small puppy, be-
cam great pet Like most OF his breed this
dog mas more than the usual amount Of canine
ssgacity. and the tricks OF Trix-for that IS her
nane-haye often entertained the friends Of her
owner. Recently Trix became the mother of
Two pups, The youngsters did not thrive, for
some reason One lived only coupl eof days
10 was with some difficulty that the body of the
latter could be taken from the mother. who
guarded II jealousy and made fantic efforts TO
regain It when Il was being taken away.
Her maternal duties having thus come to an
END, Irtx was again given the freedom OF the
house. but she did not avail herself Of t. as was
her won't Instead she sought seclusion under
lounge in the dining room and rarely left her
retreat When she did venture forth it was for
out a short time. Her conduct remained unex-
planned. except by the theory that she was
mourning her loss, until yesterday. Then con-
siderable light was thrown upon the subject.
In the midst Of the scu1lng and scratching
wnicn had occurred at intervals and was at
tribute1 TO the dogs restleSsness a sound in the
form of faint but rather sharp squeak was
heard proceeding from under the lounge.
An investigation was made at once. It re-
vealed Trix crouching on the defensive, Rrowl-
ing defiance to the investigator and holding
nrmly under her paws q small rubber dog that
had been used as q toy by the baby Of the
house but had been missing for some time.
Incredible as IL may appear. the poodle had
taken the toy as q substitute for her dead off
spring and had been cuddlin2 it for days in her
retreat under the lounge. The rubber effigy
was q very good counterfeit OF young pup
and an aperture caused a cross between a
whistle and a squeak when pressure was ap-
piled. II was the latter that led to the discov-
cry OF the queer canine fancy.
AS there a nf maj IN,
the dog endeaVor to fill the void caused by
death, she was left undsturbed in the possession
OF the toy. During the afternoon the faint
squeak was heard several times. Whether Trix
was pressing the rubber with the idea of giving
the inanimate substitute a greater semblance OF
life or did it accidentally while caressing the
object OF her affection is a matter of specula-
ton. At any rate. having been bereft of her
pups, she has appropriated a clever imitation of
one OF them and watches it with q vigilance

After the Ball.

Margaret Fl. Welsh in Neic York Life.
Ger the snow laid ways we noiseless rolled
Home from a ball on that winters night;
Twas happy chance that had put me there
A chaperon's sudden, fainting plight.
And now We two were all that shared
The coy ease of her fathers brougham-
With what sweet abandon she nestled back,
All down and fur, in its friendly gloom!
The streets few by. our talk had stopped,
Should | grasp the chance which fate had
thrown?
Her speaking silence gave me hope
renderly whispered "Madge, my ownl''
She answered not; touched her hand
Her soft breath made my pulses leap.
Then light shown in from passing lamp:
1t fell on MGdge-she was sound asleep!

The City and the Railroads.

The city Ia willing to do all she can to
assist railroads seeking seaboard outlet
here to get sites for terminals within her
limits, and in this respect she has been lib
eral. 1t would be imposing upon her gen.
erosity, however, for railroads to get sites
from her which they do not intend to use
for railroad purposes.
Alderman Cam was right in objecting TO
ceding the big arteSian well to the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah road in connection
with the lots sold to that company for a
mere nominal price. 1t cost the city as much
to sink the well as she received for the lots.
And. besides, the city needs the we'll. When
the new water works are completed there
will be need Of the water from all the wells
she is likely to have at that time.
And Alderman Bailey was right in object
ing to transferring sites to railroads without
a clear and distinct understanding that such
lots are to be used by the roads to which
they are granted for depots or shops, or some
other railroad purpose. In granting sites the
object is to build up the city. 1t is not ex-
pected that they will be sold and the pro-
ceeds turned into the treasures of the roads.
An agreement, therefore, that the sites shall
be utilized in operating the railroads or
forfeited to the city would not be out of
place.
An agreement Of that kind could not be
construed as being unfriendly to the rail-
roads seeking privileges. 1t would be only
an indication Of the oity's purpose to be
watchful of her own interests.

Hunting for the Winner.

Very little confidence is 70 be placed in
the estimates Of the strength OF the various
candidates for the presidential nomination
of the Democratic party which are appear
ing in the public prints. These estimates
are based upon the opinions Of residents Of
each state, and. Of course. are colored in 40
cordancs with the preferences OF these in
dividuals. One Georgian, for instance,
nav think that Georgia is for Hill, and
another may think she is for Cleveland. and
still another may be confident that her
delegation will support some western man.
No estimate, therefore. is even spproxi-
mately correct.
In our dispatches yesterday there was an
estimate made by the New York Herald,
based upon interviews with democrats In
Washington representing every state In the
union. Assuming that there will be 300
delegates in the national convention, Hill,
according to this estimate. will have 2S5.
Cleveland 265 and some western man $50.
This estimate is supposed, Of course, to
show what the sentiment is now, and not
what it is likely to be when the convention
meets.
The most significant thing in connection
with it is the statement that states having
$50 delegates are friendly TO some western
man rather than to either Cleveland or HILL
How much foundation there is for this
statement IL is difficult TO determine. But
in considering it the fact must not be for
gotten that the Herald favors a western
man. That being the case, it is possible
that Its estimate is shaped 30 as to support
its policy.
There are, of course, good reasons for
thinking there will be strong sentiment in
the convention for a western candidate.
The division in the democratic ranks in New
York is a serious one, and it is becoming
more marked. Although the friends of
Hin make light of it the national conven-
ton will not do so if it exists when that
body meets. Those who favor a western
man will argue that it destroys the avail
ability of both Cleveland and Hill, and the
argument will have great weight. And.
besides, there is steadily growing feeling
in the west that the candidate ought to
come from that section.
The contest which Senator Hill has in
augurated for the nomination promises to
be a remarkable one. 1t looks now as il
delegates In each of the states would be
selected for some particular candidate, and
that it would be known how the convention
will stand a very considerable time before
1t meets. Tuesday Rhode Island elected
Cleveland delegation, and other states will
be heard from pretty soon.

A dispatch from ST. Paul, Mimi. says:
"The northern heavens were robed in green
last evening until the stars were obssured.
Wave after wave of quivering lights swept
up from the horizon like folds of fleecy lace,
until to the very zenith the sky was shut
out by the shifting shadows and the earth
seemed hemmed closely in" For piece of
fine writing the dispatch is dandy" and
arouses regret that Savannah cannot en-
gage green AURORA borealis to display on
