Had Them Either Way.

In his Recollections of Virginian'
General Dabney Fl. Maury tells of an ole
lady in fredericksburg who was reduced
to taking in boarders in order to make
both ends meet. On one occasion Of pc
culiar stress the larder was SO empty that
the good lady took to her bed and sum
moned her servant Nancy she said,
there's nothing in the house for my
'boarders to eat except mush. But give
them that. If they are Christians, they
will accept in resignation and thankful
ness. And if they are not Christians it is
a deal too good for thenl' n

Kolb, the Populist candidate for gov
ernor of Alabama, threatens to set up a
State government of his own, claiming
that he was fairly elected, but was
counted out. In proclamation just
issued to the people ne says:
The question as to whether or not
you and your wives and children are to
remain slaves rests with you, and you
alone. Ii you are determined to be free,
then meet in your counties on the 23d
instant, and by your action then and
there given to the world SO declare, and
at the same time and place organize
honest election leagues to enforce honest
elections now and in the future. If you
are wiling to remain slaves to the black
belt thieves and "heroesn publish it by
your action then and there. The ques-
ton as to whether the.writer is to be gov
ernor or not is of small concern. In the
very nature of things he will soon pass
away and be forgotten, but upon your
action of the 23d instant, perhaps, de-
ponds the right of generations to come
to have and enjoy the blood bought free
dom your fathers gave you. Again let
me urge you to meet and act. and speak
out in no uncertain tones. Your action
will determine my action, and, as in the
past, will be with you until the end.
OF course there is no way of deter
mining whether the claim that Kolb
makes is we'll found ed or not. The
counting machinery is all in the hands
of the Democrats, and experience
of past elections shows that they are
just as ready to use it for miscounting
as for counting correctly. If Kolb WASH t
counted out 1T was simply because it
wasn't necessary. All the tricks and de-
vices invented to defeat the negroes are
just as good apparently to defeat white
men and are employed just as readily.

Cleveland's sig latnre of the tariff bill
viii dispose of about TIE only thing
there is left OF hinl-his back bone. Up
to the present time he has enjoyed the
reputation of having the courage of his
convictions and being ready to maintain
them even against the pressure Of his
own party. But if he signs the tariff
bill which he has pronounced perfdious
and dishonorable, there will be an end
to that.

The President is said to have had a
seyera chill just before he left for Buz-
Yards Bay that is attributed to malaria
by the physicians. We suspect that the
doctors made an incorrect diagnosis.
Probably the fact was that somebody
read in his presence that part of his
letter to Chairman Wilson in which he
declared that thu passage of the Senate
bill meant party perfidy and party DIS
honor" That explains the cold shivers
better than malaria.

. We observe all the Democratic papers
are preaching stirring sermons on the
wickedness of "croaking" Just now
croaking appears to them to be very sim
full business. If they will turn back to
the campaign following the. passage of
the Mckinley bill and peruse their own
pages they will find some very fine ex-
amples of croaking INDUCED in by them
selves for the purpose of discrediting
that measure and defeating the Republic
cans IN the pending election. 1t is only
tn e truth to say that Democratic success
of that year was brought about largely
By Democratic lying, persistent and
bold, about the effect of the Mckinley
bill on prices. 70 that constant croak
ing which they now so much deprecate
was due in large measure their triumph
at the polls. In view of the results
brought about by croaking at that time
it is no wonder that they are now
alarmed when the boot is on the other
leg.

t,ut There Seemed to Be.

The gentleman living in the suburbs had a
goat for the children's pleasure, and It was
that kid of goat which might we'll be called
rambunctious. for it took position of the
place early and showed little disposition to
vacate. One morning the goat walked into
the children's playhouse, and as the gentle
man was starting down town he told the man
about the place to drive it out and shut 1t up
in the stable. The man promised, and the
master proceeded to his Office. At noon the
man came to the Office on an errand.
