TIE RAWKiNSV.LLE DEBATE.

The editor of TUE NEWS was one Of
the fifteen hundred people who heard
the last of the series OF joint debates be
tween the gubernatoral candidates at
Hawkinsulle last Thursday.
There is no doubt that General Evans
had the advantage in the debate, espe
cially in the way he bore himself. 1t
was demonstrated to every unbiased
mind that the general is the most level
headed, firm, dignifed and well-balanced
of the two, and got the better OF bis
ferv. impulsive and badly cOnceited
Young opponent. Mr.. Atkinson, by his
inordinate vanity and remarkable self
praise, made himself peculiarly vulnera-
BILE to ridicule, and General Evans
availed imself of the powerful force of
quiet sarcasm in way that vas quite
destructive to the greatness his opponent
had arrogated to himself. 1t was i'm
mensely enjoyed by the audience. His
witty and keen side-thrusts went to the
spot every time, and it cannot be denied
that Mr.. Atkinson, whose self-conceit
made him legitimate target for bright
aud good-natured sarcasm, deserved all
he got.
Two things were settled beyond dis
pute in the minds of those who had not
heard the former debates. The first of
these is, that General Evans is physically
strong; the second is, that he is mentally
strong. The indiscreet Atkinson fellows
who have been calling General Evans
San old thing IN his dotage' have been
rudely awakened to their error.
AS to the speeshes tiemsel es, Mr.. At,
kinson's was that of a pollti clan, while
General Evans was frank and intellect
ual. General Evans undoubtedly made
the better speech.
General Evans did not invite these be-
bates, but he did not attempt to eVade
them. Ii would have been better for
Mr.. Atkinson had they not taken place.
CONGRESSMAN RUssELL's paper, the
Baipbridge Democrat, says it is sheer
waste of time for the silverites to rene Y
their fight for free coinage. "The oues-
ton" says the Dem crat, ''has been set
tied for the period of this administra
ton, and probably for all time. The
United States government is not likely
to ever commence the folly of such leg
islation. nor is it likely ever to get into a
national democratic platform" Mr.. Rus

coinage, as Mr. Russell will find out.

IN PULLMAN.

Declining the proffered guidance Of
the off1cials OF the Pullman Company
Gov. Altgeld. OF Illinois. has started in
to make personal investigation OF af-
fairs in that part Of Chicago known as
Pullman. This 10 eminently a proper
proceeding. as the Governor should have
this information for his Official guild
ance. and as he intends to make public
the results of his investigation.
Although Mr.. Pullman would not per-
init the inhabitants OF his city to re-
fleet on his philanthropy by forming a
relief association. It appears that such
an association Is badly needed. A very
large percentage OF the total population
Is In a state of restitution, and in the
absence of work or relief. they have
only the choice between dying on the
spot and moving away.
Gov. Altgeld's report will be looked
forward to with eager expectation
1t can hardly make pleasant read
ing. but in the interests of the future
the country would like to know the
truth about Pullman.

ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.

To many smokers In New York II
doubtless caused a shock of surprise to
learn that Commodore Gerry had issued
a strict prohibition against smoking In
the elevators In his Broadway building.
and that the navigating officers In charge
of the elevators had orders to enforce
the prohibition as vigorously as II they
were commissioned by the Gerry Society
The average American using the ele-
vator for business purposes chiefly is in
cllned to believe that he has the same
rights In the elevator that he has in
the street, and that the right to smoke
Is not permissive, but inherent-guaran-
teed by the Declaration OF Independence.

show that the elevator Is not the street
by any means. 1t Is an inclosed room,
usually very small room, and fire.

ANARCHY A LA NERO.

Many cruel and despicable things are
laid at the doors of the Anarchists in
these times, and probably Justly. The
latest phase OF their cowardly cunning
seems to be a time-lock continuance for
setting fire to buildings. Chicagos
police are said to have found two Of
these devices. and to have discovered
that there Is a vast plot to begin the
Anarchistic revolution by burning down
the energetic city by the lake.
While all no-called mysterious fnds
are not to be accepted at once as mys-
terry. there is reason to believe that the
Chicago house-hring mechanisms are
to be taken seriously. Incendisrism has
been rife in Chicago. If the Anarchists
or any other lists can burn down Chi
cago, they can burn down any other
city. These red-nag ranters and mis-
chief-makers are the arrantist of
towards. They fight in the dark and at
safe distances. The Chicago plotters
should be summarily dealt with, and
II Anarchy tries any such flendish
fooling around here II should be given
a lesson that would never be forgotten

.HUsBAMO-LOVER REJECTED.
A Georgia Womau's Romantic
Mind Craved a Divorced
Publisher Byrd's Attempts to Again
Woo Her Met with Refusal.

A romantic story reached Its climax
during the visit to this city last week
of Charles p. Byrd, an Atlanta pub
Usher. Only a month ago he had OBJ
tanned a divorce from his wife, who had
lived In this city since January, 1893.
Mrs. Byrd was suffering from a physi-
cal ailment and came here for treat
ment. She was nervous and highly ro-
mantle in disposition and became af-
fiicted with II mania as the outcome of
her condition, treatment of which had
to be abandoned. Part of her imagina-
tive trouble seemed to be that she had
ceased to love her husband and de-
sired a divorce.
Her husband argued that there was no
ground for a suit on either side, so she
conceived the idea of giving a semblance
OF guilt to ON act on her part which
would enable Mr.. Byrd to bring an. &C.
ton. In furtherance of this plan she
urged Mr.. Rockwell, the business part
ner of her husband, to engage a room
at the st. George Hotel in Brooklyn and
to register there as man and wife.
Mr.. Rockwell, knowing her malady,
consented, but left the room imme diately
