the hymn. Probably he had not sung it
as often as Mr.. Cleveland. His eyes are
bent on the book in a devotional way,
and his lips. too, are parted. There is
an expression on his face as If he real
lied the sentiment of the hymn. Next
to him stands Hoke Smith. One cannot

UNCONSCIOUS EIGHTEEN DAfS
Peculiar Case of Maid Who Became Fright

ORANGE, N. j., May 2.-One of the most
remarkable cases which has ever been
known to New Jersey Psychologists is that
of Miss Mary McCann. q young woman.
who fell from South Orange horse car on
April ID and has since lain on bed in the
Orange Medical Hospital in state of coma
and without once gaining consciousness.
During her eighteen days of unconscious
ness the young woman has been under the
constant surveillance and treatment OF
two physicians and has been examined by
Q number of specialists. but nothing can be
done to bring her out of the comstose con-
dition. Miss McCann was employed in q
household in Newark. as q maid. On April
- she started to visit the Orphan
Home in South Orange with q bundis
of presents. While on the way mp the road
toward that village all the Passengers left
the car except her. The driver was behind
time. and lashed his horses into q run. The
girl became frightened. and the driver and
conductor laughed ut her, and urged the
horses TO 90 even faster. Finally her fright
overcame her reason. and she rushed to
the rear platform and jumped of. In
falling. her head struck the hard road way,
and she was picked up senseless. Since that
most detailed examinations have failed 10

WON'T TAKE THEIR MEDICINE.
After Helping to Elect Cleveland Sugar Plant
ers Now Object 10 His Policy.

NEW ORLEANS. May 2-The sugar plant
ers Of Louisiana have been alarmed of late
By the OK preston of the Northern press on
the subject of the sugar bounty, and espe-
cially by the declaration made this week
that the President had asked the Attorney
general If it would be legal to suspend the
bounty at once without waiting for the
action of Congress. Accordingly it has
been decided to bold convention TO dis
cuss the situation. Prof. s. Knapp. who
presided over the late State immigration
convention. and was chosen by the Governor
as q delegate to the Richmond conference.
has called n meeting for June TO- at New
Iberia, of sugar and rice growers TO take
steps to fight the repeal of the bounty law
unless in return for its repeal the sugar
duty Is put on. The convention will pre-
pare q statement showing the growth OF
the sugar industry under the bounty sys-
tenn. the large number of persons inter-
ested IN Its culture. the capital invested
and the millions of dollars spent in pur-
chasing machinery in the North for its pro-
duction. The convention will declare that
If the bounty is repealed and the duty NOT
restored the sugar industry will be ruined.
committee OF sugar planters will be sent
to Washington TO urge protection of some
kind and TO secure the backing and CO.
operation of Northern business houses.

The action of the Council Monday
night will not tend to elevate the pres
ent city government in public esteem.
Indeed. we think it could be safely as
serted that it will have an exactly oppo-
site effect. The people believe in fair
dealing, and they do not want to gain
an advantage. even over a grasping cor
poration. by tricks that SAVIOR of cold
decks and three-card monte games. The
recent action of the Council looks very
much as if it were trying to steal some
thing or get by underhand methods
some advantage that could not be OBJ
tanned by open ones. These midnight
meetings and snap Judgments. these
sham adjournments and parliamentary
tricks, do not commend themselves to
people who believe in fair play and do
ing things decently and in order.
When the City company's franchise
was granted the Journal predicted that
the Citizens company would fight hard
for its life and its rights, and that there
was fine prospect for litigation. Itdid
not require much gift of prophecy to see
this. although some were foolish enough
to doubt it. The Citizens company has
a right to its rights. and, though it is
not entitled to any public sympathy or
to anything not nominated in the bond,
it is entitled TO fair treatment. The re-
cent acts of the Board of Public Works
and the Council SAVIOR too much of trick
cry. There is bound to be litigation be-
tween the two companies, and the issues
between them will be settled in the
courts. 1t is not for the Board of Pub
lie Works or the Council to champion
either or attempt to give one an unfair
advantage over the other.
The course pursued by the city au-
thorities, and especially the midnight
meetings of the Council and its evident
purpose to put the Citizens company at
a disadvantage are probably the reason
for the somewhatmysteri0us and extra0r-
binary measures adopted by the COM
pany towards asserting what it con-
ceives to be its rights. If the city gov
eminent had proceeded openly the CON-
pany need not have proceeded other
wise. The secret caucuses and midnight
meetings of the city authorities seem to
have put the company on similar line
of action. The people do not like to
see important public interests monkey
ed" with in this way. The legal status
and rights Of the two companies cannot
be affected by such methods of pro-
cedure.
Waving these criticisms, however, q
point seems to have been reached when
the new company should assert itself.
The Citizens company is showing
plenty of life and fight; the people
would like to sec the City company
show something of the same spirit. 1t
was understood when the franchise was
granted that the new company was to
do it's own fighting. If it wishes to re-
tain the good will of the public, which,
thus far, it has had in so large degree,
it cannot begin the fight too soon. 1t
should lose no time in locking horns
with the Citizens company and reliev-
ing the city of the burden of fighting
its battle. The city ought not to be put
in that position.

A PLACE FOR AN INDIANA DEMOCRAT.

There is reason to believe that there
are many Democrats In Indiana who are
yearning after foreign appointment.
A few have received their piece of pie.
large or small, as the case may be. but
much the largest number are still I'M
satisfied, and most of them have their
hearts set on a foreign appointment.
They do not care much where it is or
what it is so it carries a commission
with it. Imagination can do the rest.
investing the most undesirable appoint
ment with rosy colors.
To each and every one of these yearn-
ing and unsatisfied Democrats the
Journal would whisper-apply for the
consulship to the Congo Free State. OF
course, only one person can get it, but
there is a chance for each one to draw
the prize. Any person wanting simply
foreign appointment ought to be sat-
isfied with this place. 1t is very foreign.
In fact, there are few places as much so.
The Congo Free State is In the interior
of Africa-perhaps notexactly in darkest
Africa. but far enough in the interior
to make it very interesting. For
a person of studious and observant
habits it is splendid place to study
nature in her primitive aspects. The
incumbent of this office is not obliged to
maintain an expensive establishment,
like the minister to London or Paris.
The people there live in a PLAIN and
simple manner, and, owing to the mild
ness of the climate, very little clothing
is required. There isno court etiquette.
and the social requirements are such rs
almost any Indiana Democrat could
meet without much trouble. The emol-
uments of the Office are not large. but
that is immaterial. 1t is an office, and,
as before stated. very foreign one.
The commission of the consul to the
Congo Free State is as big as that of the
consul general to London, and bears
the signature of the President of the
United States and the great seal of the
State Department.. That ought to be
enough.
1t is but fair to say that the position
has some drawbacks. The climate is so
unhealthy that every person who has
been sent there has died, but this can
not last always, and each new appointee
has chance TO break tho record. One
of the persons appointed to the Office,
Mr.. James X. Jackson. of Arkansas,
lived long enough after arriving there
