PLAYED a Cool Game.

No, never played cards with Jim Keene.

the boys up there used to say that when the
young editor sat down at game he generally
got up with all the dust in sight. But bear this
distinctly in mind. he was an Englishman, with
an Englishmans ideas of play; besides that, he
had both hands full of other employment. And
bear in mind furthermore, that don't say, ex-
cept as have heard, that he ever tossed card
at all in that stout hearted style while in Cali

VIII Senator Hill Resign,

A story that Senator Hill purposes 70 re.
sign from the Senate has been started. The
basis Of il is that he 6nds the Senate dull
and tiresome and that he feels no interest IN
his senatorial duties. II is probably true
that he is not altogether pleased with his
present position. but 1t ia doubtful il he has
any intention Of resIRning it. He has not
yet recovered from the disappointment
caused by his defeat at Chicago. but when
he does, aud Is In a more cheerful frame Of
mind, be will probably see that he could not
do more foolish thing than resign II be
purposes to continue In public life.
1t seems that he was much more confident
than any Of his friends that he would get
He even thought there WAS chance
for his nomination after the balloting in
the convention had gone far enough to sat-
isfy his most enthusiastic supporters that he
was not in the race at all. From this It osn be
readily understood that his defeat was a
blow from which he will not quickly re-
cover.
But it would be the greatest folly for him
to give up his seat in the Senate. II he

Of sight. He might go back to the law, but
without the hope of becoming a great law
yer, because he has given the best part Of
bis life to politics, and he would hardly care
for a state office, having been governor for
two terms.
The wise thing for him 10 do is to retain
his seat in the Senate and 10 take an active
part iu the present campaign. II he gives
Mr.. Cleveland hearty support, and Mr..
Cleveland is elected he will be in position
to expect a cabinet position or a frst-olass
foreign mission, II he does not want TO stay
in the Senate.
II he romans in the Senate, and takes his
chances with his party. he may add greatly
10 his already distinguished career, but II
he goes ont OF the Senate now very little
more will be heard Of him 1t is pretty safe
10 say that Senator Hill will remain in the
Senate to the end of his term, unless he Is
called to some other position IN the party
and that when the campaign is fairly
opened he will be found In the thick of the
fight battling for Democratic principles.

Not a Startling statsment.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Evening
Press thinks the statement in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday that "parties must be
founded on principle. intelligence and
conscience as the democratic and repub-
Iican parties are" is startling one. II is
not startling statement when 10 is taken
in connection with the purpose for which 1t
was made, which was to show that a party
to become great and strong must be
founded upon something that takes a firm
hold of the intelligence and conscience of a
very large portion Of the people. good
many parties have been started In this
country that have amounted TO very little,
because their principles or their demands
did not meet with popular approval. The
Republican party has become powerful be-
cause It's principles-its principles OF pro-
teotion and centralization-are firmly
believed in by enough people Of this countr y
to have given il nearly an unbroken lease
Of power for thirty years.
The southern people do not believe In Its
principles and they have resisted by every
means in their power the means by which 1t
has sought TO keep itself in power-tts out
rageous reconstruction acts Its sectionalism,
its corrupt election methods, and the meth
cd by which 1t hopes to keep itself in
power-the force bill, but because the
southern people do not believe in its prin-
ciples and its methods, it does not follow
that ii is noe founded upon those things
which take hold of the intelligence and con-
science of the people sufficiently to make 10
powerful party. Many Of those
who are members OF it, while they
believe in the principles upon which it
is founded, do not approve of the methods
by which it seeks TO keep itself in control of
the government. Plenty of them were out
spoken against the force bill at the last ses-
sion Of congress.
II the Press had taken the statement TO
which it refers in the way It was meant =,
and Its meaning IL seems TO us was clear, it
would not have thought it necessary to call
attention to 1t or to endeavor TO make 1t
appear that the MORNING NEWS thinks the
Republican party is a party that the south
can regard with favor.

The Democratic Primary.

Chatham county had It's first experience
with primary yesterday, and It was a
rather exciting one. The large number OF
votes polled shows that very deep interest
was taken in it. The interest was almost
wholly in the candidates for the
legislature. There was good
deal Of electioneerinR, the friends of
the different candidates being very active.
There was a number Of issues involved, and
that was the main reason probably why so
many took the trouble to vote. II the mass
meeting method of selecting candidates had
been adhered to, IL Is doubtful II half as
many as voted would have attended the
meetings.
OF those nominated Messrs. Osborne and
Doolan are very young mon. They are
bright and capable men, however, who, II
elected, will make faithful legislators and
render the county and the state good serv-
Toe. MIR. Guerard is man OF leisure, and
is, therefore, in position to
devote good deal OF time
to the service OF the public
He Is a man OF ability, and the fact that he
has accumulated q large fortune is evidence
Of the possession Of excellent business tai
emit. BE is well qualified to discharge the
duties he will have to perform.
1t is to be regretted that Maj. Ryals was
defeated. His record In the last legislature
was an excellent one His defeat was due
largely, il not wholly, to the fact that he
had incurred the opposition of few men Of
considerable political influence by favoring,
in the last legislature, certain local bills
which were for the public good.

Anchor Him Out All Night

One more anecdote from Mr. Lockwood's in
exhaustible stock Of good stories, says the Lon
don Times, and this time of a political spplica-
ton Il is a tale Of baptismal ceremony by
total immersion in some place in the far west.
The reputation Of one of the converts was
such that an old hunter who stood by was
moved to approach the minister, aging, ''sir
from what know OF that man, guess you had
better dip him again" The minister thinking
he might as well make a good job of IL, adopted
the suggestion. sir said the old hunter, still
dissatisfied, 81 think he had better have an
other dose" But the minister replied NO; il
all night"
Having related this little story to political
meeting, Mr. lockwood expressed a fear that
it would be found necessary to "anchor" Mr.
Chamberlain and his colleagues ''out all night y

The punishment Of Private Iams, OF the
Tenth regiment, Pennsylvania troops, who
called for cheers for the man who attempted
TO kill Mr.. Frick, as detailed in the MORN
ING NEWS dispatches yesterday, was some
thing terrible. 1t would have been sut-
f1cient, it seems, to have shaved one side Of
the mans bead, cut the buttons off his uni-
form and drummed him out of the regi-
ment. But these were minor details of his
punishment and were left for the last, after
he had suffered the cruelty Of being swung
for half an hour by the thumbs. Military
law must necessarily be despotic, but the
age in which we live is too far advanced to
sanction in the American militia practice
of cruelty that is hardly outdone in the
czar's army.

The reason President Harrison, Tom
Carter, Whitelaw Reid and the ether re-
publican bosses are 80 anxious to placate ex-
Senator Plstt is because the majority Of the
New York republican state executive COM
mittee is composed of Plat men, and until
he gives the word they will not pull pound.
Mr.. Carter has made at least two visits to
the New York boss within weeks time /;
Mr.. Reid has called upon him, and Warner
Miller has tried his hand as peacemaker I;
but Platt won't uubend. One effect OF his
stubbornness has been to prevent two
meetings OF the executive committee,
and as the campaign may now be said to
be "on," this fact is very disquieting to the
President and his managers. 1t has been
the purpose OF Mr.. Harrison's ministers
plenipotentiary and ENJOYS extraordinary
to Platt TO induce him to open the cam
paign in New York for the republicans.
But he will not agree TO any modus vivendi
yet proposed; in fact, it is said he does not
care TO ''talk business" In the meantime
1t will not do for the democrats to watch
the ADMINISTRATORS private quarrel, to the
neglect of their own affairs. The democ-
rscy should be ''lined up" just as though
Platt and all the other republicans were a
happy and united family.

1t is reported that an attempt was made
last week at Homestead to poison the family
of Mr.. H. G. Prick, and that it came so
near success that Mrs. Prick, her baby and
the coachman were made very i'll. At Mr..
tricks residence it was not denied or con-
firmed, though it was stated that Mrs. Frick
was indeed very ILL The story OF the
poisoning came out through a servant girl,
who wrote OF it to her family in PittIburg.
There appears to be reason TO doubt the
truth OF the story. Mrs. Frick had recently
become mother, and it is not at all likely
that the food prepared for her would have
been served also TO the ooaohman. II is
more probable that Mrs. Friok's fitness was
caused by the shock her nerves received
when she learned of the attempt on her hus-
bands life, aud that the poisoning story is
the Pigment Of romantic girls imagina-
tion.
