No Privates?

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The general" tells. with swelling pride,
how the fires of battle cleaned
OF the slaughter of men ION the other side -
AS the shell and shrapnel reamed;
How we charged the foe Ike the mighty
wave
OF wild and stormy sea-"
But, in that rush Of the true aud brave,
The prlvate-where was he:
The colonel" boasts how his horse fell
On Georgia blood-stained hills:
How he slemmed the wave of that battle
hell
AVenging his country'S ills;
How the CHASTITY heaps OF the gallant slain
Bestrewed the slippery ground
But we study the tragic tale in vain
There were no priyates round
Oh, the majors" sword, it was red with
gorel
And great was the foes alarm
As they charged, and halted, and fed, before
The swing OF his mighty arm;
But Freedom FURNISHED her epauletteS
AS she swatte1 the hosts of sin
And the lonely pensloner still forgets
That the prlvates were not in.
How brave they flew at their country s call.
To the outposts far in front
Generals. colonies" and majors" all
To strive in the attle's brunt;
And the captains" stand, ten thousand
strong.
To tell how the thing was done
But where was the private" in that throng ?

The chap said as how he did sir and that

Did he say it was abolt the usual hour for
the snake to take a glass Of beer"
He did, sir That's exactly what he said -
And ifhe didn't get it he would keep on

Yes, sir,

Indeed. he did"
He wouldn't have deceived you just to get

MAI. Marks NAV Get Even.

There is a prospect, and very good
one, that Maj. Marks will get evenGwith
Mai. St. Clara brams without doing any
thing in his own behalf Mai Marks and
Mai. St. Clara brams are two Florida
gentlemen who, until recently, were state
senators. In q speech at Ocala sometime
ago, pretty full synopsis of which was
published in the MORNING News. Mai St.
Clair-Abrams made some remarks rel
alive to Mai Marks record as a legisla-
tor which The latter construed as being
extremely offensive. The remarks were
in effect that Maj. Marks had been in
favor of a railroad commission for
the state, but had unfortunately fallen
under the influence of the railroad lobby,
and his sentiments, in respect to the
necessity for a commission, underwent a
change.
Maj Marks talked back vigorously, and
the two majors had a lively war of words
on paper The upshot of their letter
writing was a proposition from Maj. St.
Clair-Abrams that they both resign and
appeal to the people for reelection. The
proposition was accepted by Mai. Marks
The governor accepted their designations
and now they are appealing 10 the people
of their respective districts to re-elect
them.
There has been no senatorial convention
in Maj. Marks district yet, hit sake
county, in Maj. St Clair Abrams dis
trict, acted on Thursday. The majority
of the convention was against Maj. St.
Ciair-Abrams The faction opposed to
him had a majority of eight But Mai.
St. Clair-Abrams will be in the field.
The convention went to pieces and the
minority nominated the major
If the sentiment of the convention is an
indication of the sentiment of the people
| of the district Maj. St. Clair-Abrams will
be left at home This would,
doubtless, be gratifying to Mai.
Marks, particularly if he himself should
succeed in getting reelected. He would
have a more satisfactory vindicatio than
if he should prove beyond all question
that the insinuation against him was
without the least foundation.
Evidently the political scrape between
| the two majors is the most interesting
feature in Florida politics this year The
| people of that state are watching it, and
are patting their respective favorites on
the back and encouraging them to do
their level best. The prospect that Mai.
| St Clara brams will get back to the
! Senate does not now appear to be very
! promising

Not in Harmony with his Party.

Mr. James. United States district at
torney for the northern district of Geor-
gia, in an interview, makes a telling point
against Judge Hines, the populist caudi-
date for governor. Judge Hines, -
says the district attorney, in his speeches
announces himself in favor of the repeal
Of the 10 per cent. tax on state banks,
and blames the Democratic party for the
defeat of the measure" The district at
tOrney calls attention to the fact that
1.-THE record shows that everyone of the
populist members Of congress voted
with the republicans against
the bill" 1T was the obstruction"
says the district attorney, (which they
threw in the way of the democrats that
prevented the bill from becoming law"
Some of the populists are reported to
have said, at the time that Judge Hines
was nominated, that he was too young
convert to be given so prominent posi-
ton, and that there was doubt as TO
whether he was we'll grounded in popu-
list doctrines 1t really looks as if these
1t is rather funny specta-
Gle which Judge Hines presents
as he stands before his fellow
populists advocating something they are
against and blaming the democrats for
falling to SECURE that particular thing,
when, as matter of fact, the populist
congressman are largely responsible for
the failure to secureit.
Judge Hines began his campaign too
soon He should have burned his law
library, as Mr.. Watson did, and then
secluded himself from the public gaze for
a month or two and devoted the time
to finding out first what the populist doc
trines are and the direction in which they
lead. If he had followed that course he
would not now be making blunders that
make all true populist grieve, or else he
would not be in the populist party. 1t
may be that it is owing to his lack of in
formation in respect to populism that he
is in the populist camp.

Pass the Bill.

The resolutions adopted by the Com
| mercial Club of this city yesterday,
voices the very general feeling through
/ out the country in respect TO the tariff
/ bill. The club wants the bill passed
quickly It thinks congress has spent
time enough upon it, and that IL is the
duty Of the conferecs of the two houses
who have the bill in charge to agree upon
a report without further delay. II Is ap-
parent that concessions must be made by
both houses. Neither house is going to
wholly recede from the position IL has
taken. The speech that Senator Smith
of New Jersey made yesterday is not
such a speech as a statesman who seeks
the best interests of the whole country
would make. He said the House should
DE told that 1t must accept the bill as it
passed the Senate, or there would be no
bill passed In other words, Senator
Smith prefers the bill should be defeated
rather than that the Senate shall make
any concessions
He knows that the defeat of the bill is
what the republicans want and what the
sugar trust wants. He could have said
no other thing that would have given the
republicans and the sugar trust so much
satisfaction.
And the fact must not be forgotten that
the bill as it passed the Senate is not
nearly so much in harmony with the tariff
declaration of the national democratic
platform as the bill is that passed the
House Senator Smith would not only
refuse to comply with the plain declara-
ton Of his party, but he would play into
the hands of the republicans and the
sugar trust. 1t is difficult to see how he
can defend the position he has taken.
He talks about the Senate having spent
a great deal of time on the bill Did not
the House also spend a great deal of time
upon it? And is not the House closer to
the people than the Senate, Is not the
House in a better position to know what
the people want than the Senate?
Let the bill fail and the next House
would be republican. The people would
acceptthe failure of the bill as a confession
by the Democratic party that it cannot
pass tariff bill embodying its tariff doc
trines.
Senator Smith seems to think that if
the bill should fail because of the refusal
Of the Senate to secede from its position
the people would hold the House respon-
sible for the failure. He is mistaken
They would hold him and those other
democratic senators who insist upon hav-
ing protection BILL instead of a tariff re-
form bill, but they would punish the
Democratic party by making the next
House republican.
An agreement can be reached if the
democrats are animated by the right sort
of spirit, and it should be reached
quickly

The average temperature at Austin,
Tex, on last Wednesday was So. On
that day some Texas troopers, by way of
showing their appreciation, made to Gov.
Hogg present of a gold watch. The
presentation, as a matter of course.
called for speech. Now the governor
of Texas is always prepared to make a
speech, and usually ii is. a rattling one
that he gets of. Occasionally his remarks
are spiced with little unorthodox poll
tics, but in the main what he says is
either straight or harmless. On the oc-
casion referred to, however, the governor
seems to have been laboring under some
abnormal influences. Almost as soon as
he had begun 10 speak his tongue took on
a populistic and prophetic twist, ana be-
fore he knew it, probably, he had pre-
dicted to occur within six weeks one of
the most terrible wars the world has
seen; time of carnage anu blood during
which the beautiful buildings of Chicago
would be despatched with the hearts.

zens." And not only Chicago, but the
states of Illinois, Kansas and California
would be involved in that kind Of thing

warm weather and the watch prcsenta
ton completely upset him.

The labor day" act that recently
passed congress is puzzling some people.
They do not seem to be able to decide
whether the law applies to the country
at large, or merely to the District of Co.
lumbia. This latter view is held
by several congressman, some of whom
voted for the bill The language of the
act is that the first Monday in Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cele-
DRAFTED and known as Labor's holiday, is
hereby made a legal public holiday, to all
intents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, the first day of January,
the twenty-second day of February, the
thirtieth day Of May and the Fourth of
July are now made by law public holt
days" An examination of the federal
acts creating Christmas and the other
days named as holidays showed to an in
quirer that those laws were made to ap-
ply specifically to the District of Colum-
bia; that is why it is held by the con-
gressmen that the labor day. acs ap-
plies only to the District. However, there
can be no doubt that it is the spirit of the
act that the day shall be observed every
where throughout the country Just as
Christmas is. The question arises, if the
law is intended to apply to the country
at large, how will it affect the state law
on the subject! Twenty-eight of the
states including Georgia, nave state laws
setting aside day in September for ia
Dor day and Louisiana has law maxi
ing the holiday Nov 25. Wan the ma
tional law supercede the state laws
wherever they conflict. or will the bust
ness Of the country wait while two labor
days, coming close together, are being
celebrated
