Tied to a Crazy Partner.

Three miners from Angels camp were
IN stockton, Cal recently. They stayed al
the commercial hotel, and during the day
met several old-time cquaintances. In
the afternoon one of the trio suggested a
trip through the state insane asylum.
Excuse me. l prefer 70 stay outside the
walls Of that institution" said the small
est man of the three, a man who would
probably weigh 12O pounds, and then he
explained to reporter for the Stockton
Mail his reason Tor declining to accom-
pany his friends on a trip to the asylum.

a great partner, as cheerful IS a. school
girl about to graduate. But Macaroni fell
IN love, and the object of his big, manly
heart was a little French girl, the daugh-
yer OF a miner. Maearoni thought all was

He Smashed His Compass.

once old CaDn Lewey of the Passama-
quoddy tribe took out a sportsman who
had pretty compass hung on his watch
chain, says the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
AS they trudged along through tho woods
the sportsman frequently looked at the
instrument.
That doesn't tell time, Capn, that's a

well a compass tells you just where
you are in the woods-tells you right way
to get out"
Him allus know
Sure; never fails
Lewey looked thoughtful and when they
parted a week later he said
"Purraps me like gumpuss."
"All right Lewey, I'll give it to you to
remember me by"
The next time Lewey went off into the
woods he carried along the compass. Ger
tain that he had something that would
tell him the way out though he didn't
understand just how. he trudged along
for several hours without taking any
tried to confuse himself so as to Stick
the compass, which. as the sportsman
said, could not possibly fail.
At last thoroughly tired and absolutely
lost, he sat down on a log and took out the
compass, which he looked at long and
with linguistic interest.
Then said he, "Gumpuss, which way
homer and he put it UP to his ear No
sound. He asked the question again and
listened intently, while his eyes wandered
restlessly about.
Then as Lewey realized that the ag-
gravatng dumb compass had got him
into a scrape, he resolved to force the in
formation So he set the instrument down
on a log, raised his gun and said fercely:
Campus" pause, you tell Lewey

Perhaps If you wander in Washington
county woods some time, you'll find the
wreck Of that dumb, deceitful compass on

How VIII They Be Bensatedp

The sugar planters of Louisiana insisted
upon having a speech from the great apos-
tie OF the doctrine Of protection, and they
have been graufed. The speech Of Gov.
Mckinley in New Orleans Saturday night
was a notable event in the history of poll
tics in that city. chiefly because it was the
first speech made in that city by a north
ern republican leader with the approval Of
many Of the leading men Of the state who
are ex-confederates.
The speech was good one from a re-
publican standpoint 1t was an argument
in support of the republican doctrine of
protection-a doctrine that has never
found favor with the great majority
Of the people of Louisiana. Even the sugar
planters opposed protection except for su-
gar.
Gov. Mckinley did not say anything
from which the sugar planters can draw a
great amount of comfort. He did not
promise that the Republican party, If re-
turned to power, would restore the sugar
bounty, or increase the sugar duty. He
could not. of course, commit his party to
any policy but he might have said whether
or not he favors either a bounty or high
er tariff. That he did not do this shows that
he recognizes the difficulty the Republican
party would encounter in dealing with the
sugar question if it should get control OF
the government. 1t has put itself on rec
ord as being in favor of free raw sugar;
hence it could hardly adopt the democratic
doctrine of a duty on sugar for revenue,
and IT is quite certain that the bounty sys-
TEN will never be restored The whole
country is against it. The wheat and cot
ton producers will not submit to be taxed
for the benefit of the sugar producers, who
are much better off financially than any
other class of agriculturists. Only one re-
publican leader. Senator Cullom of I'LL
nois, has thus far had the courage to say
he favors restoring the sugar bounty, and
the western papers are making the situa-
ton so unpleasant for him that it is prob
able he wishes he had not committed him
self on the sugar question.
The sugar planters may ask how the
Republican party will help them If its is
returned to power. and it will be a wise
man who will give them a satisfactory an
swer.

Time for Planting Trees.

Does the city council intend to plant any
tres this fall? If so, it is time the work
was being done. There are many places
where trees are greatly needed. Quite
number of those planted in the squares
and along Bull street year or two ago
are dead. They should be removed and
others put in the places thus made va
cant.
There are many places in South Broad
street in which trees should be planted.
Through neglect that magnificent ave-
nue. is losing much of it's beauty. 1t
is also married by the presence of I'M
slightly poles, which should be removed.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the next
council will take more interest in tree
planting, and in identifying the city in
every possible way. 1t would be so easy
to make Savannah one of the most beau
tiful cities in the country that 1t is con-
slant source of wonder that so little at
tention is paid to the matter.
The only way to have proper attention
given to tree planting, and to other i'm
provements for increasing the attractions
of the city is to have a commission ap-
pointed for that purpose. Is there not
sufficient pride in the citys beauty among
the people to bring about the appoint
ment of such commission?

"Knaves or IRnoramuses."
From the ST. Louis Republic (Dem.

A few years ago what is now Mckinley
ism was confined to a few Pennsylvanians
like the late Congressman Kelley The
Chicago Tribune and the ST. POul Pho
neer- Press, the leading republican organs
OF the northwest. were vigorously de-
handing tariff reform in the interest OF
the agricultural section. All Minnesota
was for tariff reform. All Kansas, all
Nebraska and all Iowa were for tariff re-

tonsly betrayed the interests Of the west

pemocrats rrust 60 70 work.

From all parts OF the state come reports
to the effect that the populists are extra
ordinarily active in the congressional cam
paign. Every populist is a worker. and
what he does is much more effective
than speeches or political literature. The
porulists go among their neighbors and
endeavor to convince them that it is TO
their interest to vote for the popullst can
didates for congress. They have n few
specious arguments which they use with
considerable skill They have all the en-
thusiasm Of new converts, and they will
ingly devote a great deal OF their time in
trying to get others TO join them. That
they are meeting with some success there
is no doubt.
The populsts are asserting that they
will carry three or four districts in this
state. The large vote they polled in the
state election encourages them to hope
they will make their assertion good. They
may succeed in carrying two or three dis
tricts unless the democrats cease to be
apathetic and enter upon the work of the
campaign with earnestness and vigor.
The democrats have a safe majority in
each district. It is only necessary for them
to get out their full vote. They can get it
out If they viii undertake to do so in the
right way, They must convince the demo-
cratic voters that their candidates are in
danger of being beaten.
The democrats of Georgia cannot afford
to lose any of their congressman. They
will all be needed to give the democrats a
majority in the House. AS it looks now
the republicans are going to make large
gains in the east and west. 1t depends
upon the south to give the democrats a
good working majority. The Georgia dem
ocrats would be severely criticised II,
through apathy, they should permit the
populists to elect even one congressman.
Surprising as it may seem the populists
are extremely active in this the First dis
trict We do not believe they have any
hope of carrying it. They want to reduce
the majority by which Col Lester carried
the district two years ago. Shall they ne
permitted to do it? 1t is for the demo-
cratic voters to say. If they do their duty
Col Lester viii be elected by a majority
fully as great as he received in previous
elections. If they stay away from the
polls by the thousand, thinking their prl-
vate affairs are of much more impor-
lance than the election to congress- of a
man who has served them with distin-
guished ability and great success, they
may have the modification Of having Col.
Lester defeated. And that would be a mis-
fortune approaching a calamity.
No man has done more to deserve the
enthusiastic support of his constituents
than Col. Lester. He is a faithful servant
whose usefulness has grown steadily. Evil
dences of his work are seen in all parts OF
the district. Why even popuilsts should
vote against him the populists themselves
would find it difficult to explain
Col. Lester must be reelected by a big
majority. Indeed, every one of the demo-
cratic candidates must be elected. They
will be needed, and needed greatly in the
next congress.

The Credit That Is Due Not Given.

The New York Tribune does not give the
cotton planters credit for the intelligence
to which they are. entitled. They think for
themselves. and appeals to passion and ig
norance do not influence them.
Commenting on the low price of cotton
the Tribune says: Cotton is down to 5
cents pound on the southern plantations,
and is steadily declining in price. How do
the southern cotton-planters like the re-
suits of tho Cleveland administration and
of the democratic massacre of American
INDUSTRIES
The Tribune knows, of course, that the
Cleveland administration and the reduc-
ton of the tariff have nothing whatever
to do with the low price of cotton. 1t
seems strange that a great newspaper
would stoop to such methods to accom-
plish partisan purpose.
If the low price of cotton is due to the re
duction of the tariff, to what is the low
price of wheat due? What industry does
the tariff touch that Influences the price
of wheat?
The Tribune knows that there is an
overproduction of both wheat and cotton
and that consequently the price of both
is low. why is it that some newspapers, in
dealing with political questions, cannot be
honest?

The vast food of oratory that has been
poured out upon Georgia lately is not a
marker to the flood the republicans pur-
pose pouring out upon the devoted city of
New York on day after tomorrow night.
They have arranged for solid mile OF 1t.
to gush all at the same time. "Ollie"
Teal, a queer kind of duck, is the orig
inator Of the scheme. Teal vows that he
will have two carts each containing an
orator at every street corner between
Cooper Union and Chatham square, points
just about mile apart. The carts are to
arrive at their respective destinations
simultaneously. and the orators are all
to begin talking at the same moment.
Pedestrians attempting to walk along the
line Of speech will be literally drenched
and saturated with outpourings OF argu-
ments for high tariff and Levi =. Nor

TO offset this remarkable demonstration Is
not known. But they will Offset IT, The
