In Thar True Colors.

We have not at any time had doubt
that the COXeyites, Notwithstanding their
banners of peace, are thoroughly law
less and will make war upon the commu-
nifty in which they may be stranded
should the excuse for doing so arise.
In our dispatches this morning it is
stated that the commonwealers, under
the command of Calvin, who are at
Greensburg, Pa, are out of food, and
that Calvin has informed the mayor that
unless supplies are furnished he will
"turn his men loose upon the town. 8"
This means, of course, that if the town
does not provide the Calvin crowd with
rations they will take what they want.
Such fellows as Calvin, Coxey, Kelley,
Randall and the rest of the commonweal
generals" should be landed in Jail for
collecting together shiftIess and idle men
and leading them through the country on
a FOOLS errand. On very few occasions
has food been supplied to the common
wealers voluntarily. II has been
given in the hope of getting rid
of nuisance. 1t seems that
the Pennsylvania towns are getting tired
VI OoluS 1OiCSu luuO IeeulHg tramp
armies" and they are threatened with
pillage. The Pennsylvania towns are
having an experience with the common
wealers similar to that OF the western
railroads, whose trains have been seized.
The selling of trains and the threatening
of towns show the spirit by which the
commonwealers are animated. They are
for peace and law as long as they are fed
and are permitted to have their way, but
as soon as they are opposed their peace
banners disappear and they show them
selves in their true colors. And these are
the men for whom Senators Allen, PETER
and Stewart shed tears-crocodile tears,
since they do not put their hands into
their pockets to help them.

Col William Donovan, whose death oc-
CURED recently at Wadley, Ca, was one
of the pioneer railroad men in this state
He came with his father, skilled me-
chanic, from Quebec, Canada, to this
state when the Georgia road was being
constructed, and together they took con-
tract upon it, Later the Donovans,
father and son, were engaged in the con-
struction of some of the finest residences
in the counties of Richmond, Burke and
jefferson, While engaged as an architect
and builder, Col Donovan became inter
ested in the timber wealth of the state
along the line of the new railroads, and
secured control of some valuable timbered
lands, which, with the Messrs. Wadley
and Smart, he developed, and reaped a
harvest of wealth for his toll The
founding of the town of Wadley was due
in great part, to his energy, but he will
be remembered rather as a builder of
railroads than as the founder of town.
For following his efforts in behalf of the
town came his greater efforts for the
Wadley and Montgomery railroad, of
which he was the builder, president and
manager until it became the property of
the Southern Lumber Company. He
was also for time. the president of the
Louisville and Wadley railroad, for the
furtherance of which he expended energy
and money. He was the first mayor of
Wadley, the towns foremost citizen,
consistent Christian and popular man.
His death was due to paralysis.

The New York Herald's European edi-

man 63 years old, quinine had ceased to
have any effect whatever. Daily iniec-
tons of the solution were made, begin
ming with "a quantity equal to four di-
visions of Privaz syringe" which guam
tity was increased slightly after the
second day. After the third day the tom
perature became normal, the liver soon
decreased in size, and complete recovery
was obtained with fourteen injections.
The injections were made beneath the
skin Of the back and Of the hips, and cot
ton dipped in carbolic acid was laid on
the spot TO reduce the pain. "The initial
dose, says the Herald's report lis four
divisions Of Privaz syringe, which may
be increased somewhat, but if it exceeds
the contents of the syringe there is dan

The passage of Senator Walsh's bill to
prevent the detention of the mails might
have the effect of interfering with some
of the plans of railroad strikers. If the
bill was correctly outlined in our dis
patches of yesterday, its purpose is to
make the malicious detention or obstruc-
tion of the passage of trains carrying the
mails felony, punishable with a severe
sentence. Many of the mail trains carry
Pullman sleepers or parlor cars. There
is talk among the officials of the Ameri-
can Railway Union of stopping all trains
carrying Pullman cars, because of a
strike at the Pullman car works. If Sen
ator Walsh's bill were to become law,
action of the proposed character on the
part Of the strikers might be construed
as interference with the mails, in case a
mail train carrying a Pullman car should
be caught in and stopped by a strike.

to regard as 1.-The enemies of the brother
hood of man."Her nemesis regards her
death as essential to the happiness of

I The diplomatic differences between
Portugal and Brazil are not apt to amount
10 anything more than a mutual with

could afford to fight. Portugal is in bad
way financially; besides, the Monroe doc

menace to Portugal or any other foreign
power that might wish to thrash Brazil.
On the other hand, the Brazilians are

wisely, from money making point of

A Condemned Play.

The managers of the so-called vision
play, "Hannele," have been forced by
lack of support to withdraw the piece
from the New York stage. 1t was
radical departure from the beaten path
of the drama, and the managers depended
largely upon it's novelty and an abnormal
sentiment in the prospective audiences to
make the play a success. But the novelty
was of too grewsome and revolving a kind
to attract people. Indeed, its power was
chiefly repellant, and few persons saw the
production who did not feel afterward
that their digestion had been impaired
The play was based upon the death of a
little pauper girl, caused by the cruelties
of her drunken father The first act
| showed the child in her misery, the vic
tim of her fathers brutalities. Suisse
quent acts showed, by tableaux, the
visions passing through the disordered
brain of the child as she lay dying upon
her pallet of straw. In the visions her
pallet became a splendid couch, she saw
| and talked with her dead mother and
with angels about religion, heaven and
the world beyond. The closing act brought
the onlookePs back to the reality of the
miserable death scene, the dirty bed and
| odious surroundings.
The play, it was contended by the mana
| gers, was not blasphemous or impious,
and the police censors of the drama
| decided with them. Nevertheless, the
play was offensive to pious people, to
whom the symbols of their religion were
too sacred to be put upon the stage as &C
cessories to drama produced for money,
and offensive also to people who make no
pretenslons to piety but object to a play
| redolent of grave clothes and exhaling
the clammy dampness of corpses.
The failure of 'Hannele" demonstrates
once more that plays that shock Christian
sensibilities cannot succeed. The ''pas-
sion play" was pretty good evidence of
that The managers of .'Hannele" ex-
pected to make ''pot of money! out of
their grewsome novelty; they really lost
"a pot" Their experience should be a
warning to other managers and authors
with ideas that tend toward passion
plays.
