Harris Doesn't Know All;

Senator Harris, Of Tennessee, has distin-
guished himself again, says the New York
Suns Washington letter OF Oct. 80 In the
Senate yesterday Mr. Hale had called up
resolution providing for the transfer to The
state of Illinois OF the brl0k and mortar
model of United States battle ship that has
teen such a POI ular exhibit at the world
fair. Instantly III. Harris was on his feet de-
maEdjnE to know by what authority the
CONGRESS- Of the United states proposed To
turn over one Of the ships of the navy to any
state. AS Mr.. Hale arose to point out to his
venerable colleague the ludicrous mistake
that he had made, the Senate and galleries
burst into roar Of laughter AS MIR Hall
was explaining that the battle ship could NOT
be moved from its bed Of sand on the shores
of Lake Michigan. some one explained the
joke to Mr., Harris. whereupon he opened MIS-
mouth and again placed his foot in it, by saw.
ing that he was not only willing TO Withdraw
his objection. but would consent to have The
government pay somebody to take the inita-
tion ship off the government 5 hands eyi

Remedy for Romicidal Mania.

From Charleston News and Courier Deml.
Or. Mayo, a ceiebra ed English medi al
writer, tells about time in France when n
homcidal mania epidemic prevailed. Murler
after murder was committed and the muir
derers were released on the plea OF homiCidal
who instructed tho Jury that the homi,idal
maniac on trial should be executed. The
jury brought in verdict of guilty, the prison
erS head was rOmDtly cut of and Inc
homtctdal epidemic as suddenly ceased.
There Is a suggestive lesson Ia tnis historical
ln>l lent as TO tie proper treatment Of the
Cranks who abound in this country, and who
are said TO be ire sponsiDle for their acts
The execution OF the Chicago assassin would
not bring his victim back to lie, but it would
put PrendergaSt out OF the way Of doing
further murder and might deter others Of his
kind from taking human life.

Advent OF Daisy Bell"

One Of the musical hits of to-day is a rather
peculiar English music hall song called
Daisy Fell" which was brought over bv
Tony Pastor last spring. 1t was tirst heard in
savannah this season during the Devil =
Auction engagement. Since then several OF
the serlo-comIc companies have sung it, al
ways 10 the delight OF the house. The man
who wrote it certainly had wheels" in his
head. as ne honor % Of the composition is
chiefly in its puns on cycling. But the air is
very pretty and the chorus especially catchy
Here it is
There is a flower within my heart, Daisy
Daisy
Planted one day by glancing dart-pIanted
by Daisy Bell.
Whether she loves me. or loves me not. some
times il 5 hard to tell;
Yet am longing to share the lot of beautiful
Daisy Bell
We will go in tandem as man and wife
Daisy Daisy!
Ped ling away down the road Of life l and
my Daisy Bell.
When the roads dark we can both despise
plicemen and lamps as we'll
There are bright lights in theudazzling
eyes Of beautiful Daisy Bell.

iGiSy.
You'll lie the hell (e)" which will ring. Won

take, then If don't do well
III permit you to use the brake, my beautiful

CHORUS.
Daisy. Daisy, give me your answer true!
I'm half crazy, all for the love OF you,
1t won't be stylish Marriage can't afford
carriage
But you Il look sweet, on the seat of a bicycle
built for two.

Eere is an anecdote which the Courier
Journal says was told by Attorney General
Heud-ick to group OF friends the other day:
Bill Arp on attaining his majority found his
sole earthly possession TO be negro named
Dick. he hired the negro for a year TO one Of
his nelghbOrs. taking his note for 800, paya-
bic at the end of the year for the hire Of the
NEGRO. At the expiration Of the year the

be arrived az the magistrate house where
the court was held. and found that his antago-
mist had engaged the services of a dapper
yodn- lawyer from town. o the utter aston
lshInent Of Mr.. Arp h. discovered that the
lawyer had made thefollowing pleas:
F1rSt-NOn est factuIn.
SecOnd-SCire facias
Third-Ad QUOd Lamnuu
fourth-Damnum absque iniuria.
Itn-Ihat the negro name was not
Dlck. but Richard
Upon these pleas Mr.. Arp promptly Joined
issue and went to trial, but was astonished TO
ma that the young lawyer was getting the
hetler OF him. in his diem ma. however he
nollced mat the lawyer was reading out OF
look called ~Greenleaf on Evidence"
Mr.. ARD, arising with great sOlemnity, said:
our Honor. do you allow abolition docu-
ments TO lie read il your court2''
The court eyed Mr.. Arp for minute with
an expression OF contempt that was whitening
and then said. with thunder IN his tones:
M. Arp do ye mean TO insult this court"
10 which the I1tiQant replied with great
r1eekness and humility: Your Honor knows
that cOuldn do such thing. But if your
Honor will take that book that that young
man Is reading. and II you don't lind on the
urst page. Simon Greenleaf Cambridge
Mass. VIII give up the case"
AT which the wind shifted and the magiS-
trate turned 10 the young lawyer and said:
80 Dung man, hand me that book"
carefully placing his SUeCtaCles on his nose
the oracle of the law opened the accused
book. and after looking at it in stupeded
astonlshment. with q grant expressive q the
utmost disgust turned to the constable and
SAID: MI. Constable burn this book" AMI
then, turning TO the young lawyer. the learned
lurlst thus addressed him; Young man if
IT were not for your tender years / would
send you to jail and tine you to the limit Of
the law. You have committed an outrage on

uamnatOl than murder or manslaughter
knoWed YOUR father and mother, and they
were good people, loyal to the state OF Geor-
GA. and always showed respect to the law
ara the courts. In view of these extenuating
circumstances l will discharge you with this

And here, removing his spectacles with the
AR OF one who had just finished an important

Foreign articles for exhibit at the
worlds fair were permitted to
pass through the custom bouse
in bond. Many of them are
very valuable and are dutiable at a heavy
rate. As large number of them have
been sold, the duty to be paid and the ar
ticles taken out of bond before delivery, the
probabilities are that the treasury will
receive some round sums from this source
during the next few weeks.

There was a tone of bitterness in the
remarks of some Of the senator's at the
close Of the debate on the silver repeal
billthat showed that the long contest had
been productive of a good deal Of ill
feeling between the senators Of the oppO-
sing sides. Some of the uttcranccs viii
not be quickly forgotten. and there arc
senators VINO viii not 60 out of their way
to speak TO each other the first time an
opportunity to do so presents itself
BY the time congress meets ia regular
session. however. about all the bitterness
engeuderci by the long fight will have
disappeared. ana senator's will meet each
other on the Old footing Of cordiaIity and
good-fellowship.
All the talk about the contest being
followed by split in the democratic and
republican parties is nonsense. The demo-
Gratis viii be found working together justas
they were before the silver question dis
turued their friendly relations, and 50
viii the republicans. All parties win
soon realize, if they do rot now, that un-
conditional repeal was the only thing that
could have commanded a ma GRITTY Not
withstauding the statement made by
Senator German it is extremely doubtful
if the compromise agreed upon by the
democratic senators could have been
passed. If it had been passed it would
not have been entirely satisfactory TO the
country.
Ihepeople, irrespective of party, were
clamoring for the Senate to act. The de
mand was for unconditional repeal.
and the pressure finally became
50 strong that the opposition
senators thought it advisable
not to resist it further When those wuo
were in the ranks of the defeated survey
the whole field they win come to the CON
clusion, probably, that what was done
was the wisest thing that could have been
done
The silver senator's pretend to be
lieve that the people want free silver
coinage. The silver question will doubt
less be an issue in the next congressional
election. The people can then make
known their desire in respect to silver.
From present signs, however, it is safe to
say that if the question of free silver
coinage was submitted to IL vote Of the
people this fail it would be ovcrwhclm-
ingly defeated. If prosperity follows the
repeal Of the purchase clause Of the
Sherman law there will be no talk of free
silver coinage in the congressional cam
paign year hence.

The Presidents Hawaiian Policy.

The Presidents Hawaiian Policy.
Whether or not the President has de-
cided upon definite policy in respect to
Hawaiiis not yet known. For some reason
or other Minister Willis has not yet de-
parted for his post at Honolulu although
a month has elapsed since his nomination
was confirmed. This fact has suggested
the belief that the President proposes to
give him explicit instructions as to the
administrations Hawaiian policy before
his departure, and that the Presidents
time has been so taken up with the silver
controversy that he has not mad time to
give his attention to the matter.
1t is highly probable that the President
will not adopt policy until he has had
time to find out what the temper of con
gress is in respect to Hawaii He would
hardly pursue course thar he was NOS
quite certain would have the approval OF
congress. He certainly would not olle
any steps towards a permanent settle
ment of the Hawaiian trouble before sub
hitting his views to congress.
The condition of affairs in Hawaii an
pears to be satisfactory. The royalisys, il
is true, are working up a sentiment I'm fa-
yor of the deposed queen, and tits thought
that if a vote were to be taken at this
time on the question as to whether she
should be restored, the majority would be
in her favor. For that reason, it is
thought, the President is not in favor of
letting the Hawaiians decide by ballot as
to the form of government they shall
have
The present provisional government is
doing much better than it was thought it
would. There is said to be no reasonabl
ground for finding fault with it. The
laws are being enforced strictly, the rev
enues collected and tine obligations
paid, There is no disposition
to squander the public funds.
and for the first time in years there
is considerable surplus in the treasury
as a result of the economy that is being
enforced.
What the settlement of the Hawaiian
trouble will be cannot be predicted with
any degree of certainty, but IL looks now
as if the provisional goverumentwould
remain in power until permanent repub-
lican form Of government is provided.
Such government would be helpful to
Hawaii in many ways.
