Evans WIN Have a Walk-over.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. IL. - The
gubernatoriaI campaign in Georgia
has come to an unexpected culmi-
nation. The ex-minister to Hawaii,
Mr.. BIount; the president Of the
State Senate, Mr.. Clay, and the
speaker of the House, Mr.. Atkin-
son, were all in the race for the
Democratic nomination. Blount's
name fell out Of notice altogether,
when Gen. Clement A. Evans, a
Methodist preacher, who had been
a general in the Confederate army,
entered the field and carried things
before him, so that Clay has form
ally retired, and it is only ques-
ton of a few days when Atkinson
will do likewise. This will leave
the course clear to Evans, who will
succeed Northen, without opposi-
ton.

SENATOR HILL in his Brooklyn speech
gave an mixing of what the new tariff bill
will be. First of all, it will be a revenue
of private interests at the public expense.
Its purpose will be the raising of the
needed funds for governmental purposes
strictly in the mode and ways least bur
denSome TO the masses. Raw material
needed in our manufactures will be placed
upon the free list, for conclusive reasons
fully explained in the debates of last year,
and which every manufacturer and work
ingman entirely understand. and which
they cordially approve. This relief will
give an impetus to certain of our manufac-
turing industries and afford work to tens of
thousands of our idle laborers. The
necessities of life will be substantially
free. In fixing the necessary tariff upon
manufactured articles, due consideration
will be given to the difference in wages be
difference will be equalized in the rates
imposed here in the general interest of the
labor of our country. There will be no
unjust discrimination anywhere tolerated
among its provisions. Bounties and sub
sides will find little favor in its compost
ton. The free list will be enlarged, and
the complicated schedules will be greatly
simplifed. Every sort of favoritism here
tofore permitted will be conspicuous by its
omission. and in that respect it will stand
out in bold contrast with the Mckinley
bill.

Curiosities of the Law.

A wretched tramp in city park was
caught stealing from another tramp who,
like himself, was in the habit of snooz-
ing upon the benches. The sum stolen
was 0 cents. The thief tramp did not
want it to buy food with. Tramps do
not buy food. They beg it. They would
not waste their money ON anything to
eat. They save such small change as they
come into possession of to buy whisky
with. That was what the thief intended
to do with the Q cents.
But park policeman caught him and
took him before the court. He was tried.
found guilty and sentenced to 81 years
imprisonment, FIVE months for every
cent he stole. The fact that he was 60
ing to buy and swallow the kind Of
whisky that sells at O cents a drink may
have influenced the judges mind some
what in passing this severe sentence. At
any rate that tramp will not infect the
outer atmosphere any more for 2i years.
This legal decision is only equaled by
that of the judge who some time ago Inn
posed fine of 8 upon man who ha,.
beaten his wife half to death and inn.
mediately Rfterward fined one who had
stolen three ducks @QS.

In the human body, Mt least, art never
replaces nature with better work, but
when false teeth refuse to ache and
wooden legs save men from drowning
one is tempted to make some exceptions.
An Alabama duck hunter had curious
adventure one day while ON tho water
in a skiff. He had lost leg in rail-
road accident and wore n cork substi-
tute, useful for ordinary purposes, but
preventing him from following game ex-
cept in a boat.
On this occasion, as he was an expert
marksman, he had almost loaded tho
skiff with ducks when. in reaching after
particularly fine bird, he overreached
and upset the boat.
Down went the birds, the gun and the
hunter, and as there was a swift current
at that point the boat drifted away be-
fore he came to the surface. Being I'M
able to swim, the hunter clutched wild
ly for support, but found none, and
would certainly have been drowned had
it not been for his cork leg.
1t kept him afoat, and at first he was
overjoyed; then he became apprehen-
sive. The cork leg had tendency to
invert him in the water, but after strug-
Cling against this for some time he
managed to unstrap the limb and use it
as a float.
1t was then easy to paddle ashore, and
the hunter was saved, although he lost
nearly everything else but his life

The millionaires have succeeded in
getting over the real estate tax by the
shrewd expedient of not owning much
real estate in localities where the tax on
such property is highest. Nobody can
blame them really. We would do ex-
actly the same thing ourselves if we
were millionaires, you know. But the
congressional wind now seems to be
blowing in the direction of an income
tax. Congressman who are not million
aires will argue that men who have
made large fortunes under, this great
and glorious government should now
come forward, and should be made to
come forward whether they will or not,
and pay an income tax to help support
that government when the import du-
ties no longer suffice to do SO. That
newly baptized Populist, Representative
Bryan of Nebraska, says he has been
studying the subject with a view to
preparing an income tax bill.

VENTURESOME EXPLORERS.
A Party Prepare to Visit the Arctic Ocean
In a Skin.

PIrTSBURG, Oct. % - Captain Aaron
Kingston of California and a party of 10
have left Pittsburg in three small vessels,
the objective point being Herrell island in
the north Arctic ocean, about 200 miles
north of where the Jeanette was lost. The
boats are not much larger than an ordinary
skiff, but Captain Kingston is confident of
the success of the expedition. The hulls
are lined with a number of air tanks of pc
culiar construction, which the captain, who
has had 25 years experience in the seas,
claims will prevent the boats from capsiz-
ing or sinking.
From Pittsburg the expedition will go
down to New Orleans; then through the
gulf of Mexico to the coast of Central
America; then along the eastern coast of
South America to Cape Horn, passing
through the Behring straits and into the
Arctic seas.
In the party is Captain Kingston's wife,
his brother-in-law, {. X. Spangel, and his
wife. At New Orleans the two smaller
boats will be abandoned. and the whole
party will take the largest boat. They eN-
pect to be gone year.
