The Mavnr'R Flight

The mayor is as vigilant now in enforce
ing the law requiring the saloons to be
closed on Sundays as be was at the begin
ming Of his term OF office. He has not taken
a backward step and does not intend to.
The people have given him hearty support
and they will continue to do so. II he is a
candidate for reelection the support he will
receive will be as surprising to those who
oppose him as it will be gratifying to him
and his friends. He has the hearty good
will OF all classes. particularly the laboring
class, white and black. This will be shown
to be true If the opportunity presents itself.
The mayor is not moved by feeling of
animosity against the saloonkeepers. He
is ready to defend them in their rights He
simply insists that the saloons shall be closed
on Sundays. The good effects of closing
them on Sundays are so apparent and SO
generally admitted that no one would think
Of doubling them.
The argument that surreptitlous selling
on Sundays Is 80 harmless that 1t is not
worth while to stop it is not sound. II such
selling should be permitted 1t would not be
long before the selling would be open and
there would be more drinking and drunk
enness on Sundays than on other days The
mayor is right. The law must be strictly
enforced il enforced at all. 1t would be
unjust to permit surreptitious selling, be-
cause great many saloonkeepers will not
sell that way. II they cannot sell openly
they will not sell at all. Their bust
being a legitimate one, they will not resort
to illegal methods to carry it on.

A Weak Governor.

The democrats Of Tennessee acted wisely
In refusing to give Gov. Buchanan, OF that
state, a denomination. His action in COM
muting the sentence Of II. Clay King, who
was to have been hanged today, to life i'm
prisonmens, shows that be is not a fit man
for governor. He lacks the hrmness to dis
charge the duties of the governors office
under all circumstances.
There is no doubt that the sentence in the
case Of II. Clay King should have been car
ried out There has never been a more in
excusable murder in the country than the
one be committed. It was a cold-blooded
murder. There was not one single extenuat-
ing circumst ance connected with it. The
victim was unarmed and not expecting an
attack aud he had committed no Qffense
against Col. King
The effect OF the action of Gov. Buchanan
will be far reaching. It is already said in
Tennessee that man is safe in taking his
pistol and shooting to death any one against
whom he has a grievance.
II Col. King had been without money and
influential friends it is safe to say that the
law would have been allowed TO take Its
course. The governor would not have in
terfered in his behalf II he would then
there is no good reason why any murderer
in Tennessee, black or white, who is under
sentence Of death should not ask executive
clemency with the expectation Of receiving
il.
Usually when executive olemency is ex-
tended there is some reason for it. There
is newly discovered evidence or irregulari-
ties in the proceedings of the trial or doubt
as to the correctness Of the finding; but in
the case Of Col. King there was absolutely
nothing on which to base an application Of
clemency. The trial was without a flaw,
and the plea of insanity was rejected by the
jury.
Its not to be wondered at that the action
of Gov. Buchanan has aroused a storm Of
indignation in Tennessee The people feel
that it is useless to maintain courts or to
depend upon them for protection. A gov
ernor who is controlled by his feelings
rather than his judgment and who uses his
prerogative to paralyze the law can do a
vast amount of harm. Gov. Buchanan, by
committing the sentence Of H. Clay King,
has done Tennessee an almost tncalculable
injury. He has given license to lawless
violence, of which there will likely be many
Victims.

This is the way of it the wide world over;
One is beloved and one is the lover,
One gives and the other receives,
One avishes all in a wild emotion,
One offers a smile for lfes devotion.
One hopes and the other believes,
One lies awake in the night to weep,
And the other drifts into swift. sound sleep
One soul Is aflams with godlike passion,
One plays with love in au idler's fashion,
One speaks and the other hears.
One sobs, II love you, " and wet eyes show it,
And one laughs lightly and says, 81 know it."
With smiles for the others tears
One lives for the other and nothing beside.
And the other remembers the world is wide.
This is the way of it, sad world over;
The heart that breaks IS the heart of the lover,
And the other learns to forget.

that for the building of a new dry dock at
Puget Sound Bids had been advertised
for before the law went into effect and
bidders based their proposals upon a con-
tract containing the following provisions:
"The contractor shall not be restricted to
the hours of labor established for govern
ment employees, and shall be permitted TO
prosecute the work night and day, If de-
sired, aud on Sundays, If deemed necessary
by the contractor for the protection of the
work. As such a contract would be illegal
under the present law, the department will
be compelled to reject all bids and readver-
tlse for proposals. The work would have
cost about $500, 900, which, it is expected.
will be increased about 20 per cent under
the new law.

The Rice Crop.

The Times Democrat has information on
which it bases the statement that I'VE are
going to raise this year the biggest rice
crop ever grown in the United States.n 1t
says that in Western Louisiana alone there
are 1880 acres planted in rice. The en-
tire rice crop Of the state last year amounted
to only l, 1852, 1871 sacks. This year il only
ten sacks to the acre are produced, the
prairie section of the state will send to mar
ket 1,799, 800 sacks of rough rice.
The rice cropof Louisiana is a very i'm
portant one, aud it is becoming more i'm
portant each year. There are many thou
sands Of acres Of good rice lands in that
state that have not yet been brought under
cultivation, but which will be within very
few years.
The OUTLOOK for good rice crop in this
state and South Carolina is excellent. If
the conditions continue favorable the rice
planters OF these two states, and also Of
Florida, which is now producing considera-
BILE rice, will have abundant cause for re-
ioicing.
