THE HASH KETTLE.

Cleveland has bumped his head
again. This time it was against a
Western Governor, instead of car
rage door. Here's the way it came
about.
The Republican Member of the
Cabinet, Mr.. Gresham, telegraphed
to Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon,
that Mr.. Cleveland hoped that he,
Pennoyer, would employ all lawful
means to protect the Chinese.
Whereupon the said Pennoyer tel
egraphed this Republican member of
the Democratic Cabinet that he, the
said Pennoyer, hoped that Mr..
Cleveland would attend to his own
business.
Whereupon Mr.. Cleveland rubbed
the bump and made the same re-
marks which were used by the boy
the calf ran over.
NEGROES APPOINTED TO OFFICE.
It seems to me that / heard it
whispered around last summer that
if the Peoples Party succeeded, ono
bad result (too dreadful to think of
without swearlng) would be that
some of the negroes might get hold
of an office, here and there.
This used to haunt Charley Moses
to such a degree that his fevered
dreams were peopled with endless
professions of ambitious coons climb
ing up the golden stairs to office.
In pensive remembrance of the
pretended madness which afflicted
the Democrats last year, and which
they have so conveniently shaken
off this year, quote the following
from the Atlanta J0urndl:'
/" Resolved, That we heartily en-
dorse Secretary Hoke Smith, of the
Interior, for the stand he took In ap-
pointing two colored men to positions
which they are competent to fill"
This resolution was passed by a
meeting of colored Democrats in At
lanta, Georgia.
Really our Mike is doing well.
He has appointed one rampant Re-
publican, two negroes and several
Democrats - including, Of course,
those who used to work on the
Journal.
In the mean time Charley Moses
has our best wishes. The procession
is moving on, and Charley must
gradually train himself to understand
that the only fear Democratic poll

ATLANTA GEORGIA. FRIDAY 1898

For man who is displaying Jeffer-
sonian methods too negroes seem
rather an extravaganza supply to hold
one horse. But then, you see, it may
not have been a common horse, and
then, again, "portecochere" is not a
common stopping place.
am willing to affirm that one
negro is enough to hold common
horse at a common gate, or horse
rack, or On the sidewalk, or in the
big road, or in front of any i'm
aglnable kind of door. But when 1t
comes to holding Hon. Mike Smiths
horse at a new-fangled Democratic
continuance which the Journal calls
a ''porteoochere," I am not prepared
to say that two negroes are more
than sufficient.
"Mr. Smith dismounted and
brushed the dust from his garments
and walked briskly to the cabinet
room. When the meeting was over,
he rode back to his Office" says the
Journal.
OF course he did What else could
the man do? Mr.. Smiths memory
being fairly good, he recalled the
thrilling narrative of the French
King who marched his troops up the
hill, and then marched them down
again. Consequently, in an humble
way, he initiated the monarch's ex-
ample. Having ridden up to the
"portecochere," he then rode away
again.
During that whole day only two
topics of conversation stood any
chance at all in polite circles at
Washington. One was the horse
back riding of Hon. Mike Smith, the
other was the riding of the German
Relchstag by the Emperor William.

strosltles OF Legislation may well con-
slider, "Where will it end?"
When the President of the United
States and his Cabinet give testimony
every day to the influence which the
huge Corporations have in shaping
their policy; when the whole Demo
cratic concern { including Gresham
and the other Republicans sneezes
every time Wall street pulls out its
snuff box, and begins to dance even
before the Gold-bugs have finished
tuning the fiddle; when Cleveland
fears to take out of the National
Banks the s10,000,00O of our taxes
which they are using free of charge,
and fears to press to collection the
$85, 100000 mortgage we hold on the
Pacific Rail Roads; when the mill
ionaire Importers of New York have
as loan, $19,0OO,000 of the Tariff
Duties which should be in the Fed
eral Treasury, and when the Whisky
Trust have the use of $150,000,000 Of
the Internal Revenue Taxes, as a
loan; when the entire National sys-
tenn of Finance and Taxation is man
aged as if it were the private concern
of few monster Corporations, the
voter, if he be not a fool, will sadly
reflect, " Where will it end :"
When fair elections by the people
have become impossible, when votes
are openly bought or the voter
driven from the polls, or the cor
rupted elector is made to vote
dozen times; when the evil has be-
come so notorious that the man who
thus debauches himself, his neighbor,

of his infamy: when the mails are

obtained in the face of the admitted
facts that three of the counties voted
against him, while IN the remaining
county his majority was carried to

man (of the breed called "Peerless")
can still claim to be a Emirror of
honor" while holding on to con-
gressional office which he secured by
a series of mysterious devioes-one
which was to count $4,000 votes in a
county where the limit was a pos

II a. m. to-day, as firm land deter
mined a Democrat as he ever has
been. He would not abandon his
lifelong Democracy to get an office
at the hands of an administration
placed in power by the votes OF the
Democrats.
Think of man being turned I'M
der because he is a Jeffersonian or a
Jacksonian Democrat, and take warn
ing that there is vile conspiracy by
this administration to overthrow the
party of Jefferson, and of Jackson,
and to organize the Hamiltonian
Wing party on its ruins. The con-
spirators will be disappointed. The
old Democracy will be instantly reor-
gained and the conspirators will be
run out of it, and kept out of it.
SUsoUEHANNA.
Washington, d. c., March IL.
This Is the first intimatiOn we
have seen that free silver is cardi-
nal principle of Jacksonian or Jeffer-
sonian Democracy. Mr.. Bissel charg-
ed this man with being for free silver
and nowhere in the above letter is
the charge denied. We incline to
the opinion that the biggest Demo-
crat in Iowa is It's governor, Horace
E. Boies, who is not for free silver ;
and the Iowa Democrat who is not
in accord with Boies on this silent
point may expect nothing in Wash
ington.-Ed. The Sun. Williams
port, Pa, Sun, March 16, 1898.
The editor of the Williamsport
Daily Sun confesses to greater igno-
rance than can be attributed to even
the average Pennsylvania newspaper
man. By reference to the Revised
Statutes, sections 3511, 1918, $500,
1924, 1927, 1856, 1886, passed in
1892, it will be seen that silver was
placed on the same basis as gold in re-
spect to coinage. 1t will be further
observed by intelligent men that these
provisions remained on the statute
books substantially unchanged from
the organization of the government
down to 1873, having the approval
of both Jefferson and Jackson and the
long line of Democratic presidents
down to Grover Cleveland. Jan. %,
1871, Alexander Hamilton submitted
to the house of representatives a re-
port recommending that the unit do
not attach exclusively to either gold
or silver, but to both, and Jefferson
in returning this report to Hamilton
said 81 return you the report on the
mint. concur with you that the unit
must stand on both metals. 1t will
be further noted that both Jefferson
and Jackson were opposed to all
banks of issue, insisting upon issues
of paper money by the government,
If money beyond the supply of coin
was essential to meet the public
needs.
In Iowa, Horace Boies is supposed
to be favorable to the free coinage of
silver. Upon that issue he has twice
carried the state, and if he is to be
the U. S. senator from Iowa, he must
stand up for the debtor class, the pro-
ducers of the West, against the cred
itor class, the millionaires of Wall
street, who are interested in the gold
standard solely for the purpose of
increasing the purchasing power of
money to the injury of producers
everywhere.

Curious Rocks In NIashonaland.

A characteristic feature of Mashona-
land the kopje. is frequently mention
ed in the dispatches reporting tho en-
gagements with tho Matabclc. Some
description of these curious elevations
is given in letter to Professor Geikie,
from Mr.. j. b. Don, formerly one of
his pupils. y uniform granite forma-
ton is, he says. by far the most promi-
nent geological popularity of Mashona-
land and indeed Of most of the interior
of South Africa. Sometimes it rises
into mountains, but usually the general
level is only broken by low kopjes, and
in those parts where the bed rock and
surface are hattest the kopjes present
the most singular appearance. The
whole country seems dotted with huge
curbstones, and in whichever direction
you look they gradually close in the
view, as the trunks of trees would in
u forest Some Of these curbstones are
300 feet or more high, sheer all round,
and apparently of smaller diameter
than height. Sometimes the original
mass has been so broken up as to form
the most marvellous steeplelike struc-
lures springing out of the rich foliage
that grows in all tho crevices. Native
huts arc built on these kopjes in almost
inaccessible positions. London News.

sailor, who has been living IL hand to

months, has fallen heir to the estate of
his father, valued ut over ,e32. 600.
1t was an early hour on stormy
morning last March when bcdraggled
and wornout young man applied ut tho
home of Michael Rigney, 2f5 Seventh
street, for IL meal. He told Il straight
forward story about descrting his ship
in the bay tho day before and said no
had slept under the Eightsi street bridge
all night Mr.. Rig,>'y took compassion
on tho desolato sailor and supplied him
with food and warm closning. AS
Stone proved willing to work and there
was good deal of labor to be perform
ed about the place, Mr.. Rigney permit
ted him to remain, and since then he
has made the Rigney home his head

During his leisure hours Stone spent
his time instructing young son of the
Rigneys in the trade of boat building.
In lot adjoining the house he cstab-
lished miniature shipyard, with era
die, blocks and ways, and there he built
full size steam launch, which lacks
nothing but an engine to make it COM

about as follows Five years ago he was
n schoolboy i'll England and had pen
chant for reading tales of adventure.
His reading made him so long for travel
that he ran away and went to sea.
When he camo home, his father took
him to Liverpool and bound him over
to sea captain for voyage to and
from Australia. He was signed for two
years, but long before the voyage had
been finished tho boy S dreams had been
dispelled. and he had determined to de-

only very recently.
Young Stone wrote from Oakland to
his father several times, but received
no response, SO when Walter Seawell,
an Oakland contractor, left for n visit
to England a few months ago, he was
commissioned by the young man to hunt
up his father and see why he failed to
