a Story Told by the President.

"A curious thing about political oratory
andwit is the side light got upon one as
pect of it years ago in Buffalo" Thus Mr..
the Cinclnnati Commercial lone morning
quaint looking old chap came into my office
and said that he had read in the newspapers
that was 70 speak at a mass meeting the
following night, and wanted to know If il was
true. When l told him that it was so he re-
yealed to me a new method Of gaining orator
zeal distinction. He volunteered TO interrupt
my speech at stated intervals with remark
that should be agreed upon between US To
this interJection ! was TO retort wittily. and
thus. as the old fellow pointed out / would
acquire reputation as witty speaker NV
first impression was that he was amusing
himself at my expense but he repeated TO
me several things I could reply TO
wittily, and wanted me to pay
him roundly for helping me to a
reputation But told him I was indifferent
to that kind Of fame and ne went away dis
appointed. Not very long after that i was
seated on stage listening to a speaker when
who should arise in the audience but my
quaint visitor and bawl out one of the very
things he wanted me to pay him for inter
rupting me with. The orator answer ed him
with the same Tetort that l was offered the
privilege of making, and the audience ex-
pIoded INTO laughter and heartily Joined in
but my amusement had not the same founda-
ton, fancy as that Of the rest OF the laugh
ers. And during the rest of the evening the
old fellow made an occasional interruption
from different paris Of the house and the re-
tortS were all of the same manufactured
sort. am a trihe skeptical now on the sub
lect of witty retorts.

Favorable Signs.

| There are signs that the Wilson bill
! will soon be passed by the Senate. In
our Washington dispatches yesterday the
| announcement was made that Senator
| Sherman admitted that the bill would
pass the Senate, and Senator Jones, Of
/ the finance committee, stated that the
committee had agreed upon such changes
in the bill as would give it a solid demo-
cratic support The republicans are, APP
parently, beginning to see the useless
ness OF continuing the tariff debate. In
our Washington dispatches this morning
it is stated that Senator Aldrich, speak
ing for the republican senators, Offered
yesterday to take a vote at once on the
bill as it came from the House. or as it
had been amended by the finance commit
tee. The democrats were not prepared to
accept the offer, but after consultation
they agreed to have vote taken on the
bill, together with the amendments which
the finance committee intends to propose
Senator Aldrch receded from his offer
on the ground that it had not been
promptly accepted. His purpose was
doubtless to find out whether or not the
democrats had reached such an agree
ment as would give the bill the vote Of
every democratic senator. When the
republicans find that the democrats are
united they will permit vote to be
taken, because it would be folly, amount
ing almost to crime, to keep the country
in suspense and delay business revival
when there no longer existed a chance for
defeating the bill To delay the bill for the
mere sake of delaying it would put upon
the republicans much greater RESPONSE
bility than they care to shoulder.
1t is understood that the income tax
feature will remain in the bill, but that it
will be changed very considerably. 1t
will be made much less inquistorial and
it will include incomes below 1000 tbs
also thought that it will be provided that
it shall not remain in operation more than
five years. Neither these nor any other
changes will make II popular tax in the
east, but as changed it is thought it will
be acceptable to the congressman of the
south and west who seem to think they
would stand poor chance for reelection
if the tax were stricken from the bill.
Now that harmony among the demo-
cratic senators is in sight, no time should
be lost in adjusting differences upon minor
matters. The quicker the bill is passed
and signed the better it will be for the
Democratic party If business and indus
trial revival follows the passage of the
bill, and there is every reason to believe it
will, the dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic party that has been cropping out
in difFerapt parre 81 tho cOt,ptry raoaptlv
will disappear, and the party will have a
fair prospect of winning the next House
by good working majority

Her loved one to and fro,
Her heart with rapture holy

Yes, and they win hear of us again vet"
GOV Tillman is said to have given an affirm

OF Mr.. kolb's adherents in Alabama would
like to see GOV. Tillman and Mr.. kolb nom
mated on their national ticket We would
also like to see this, With 1illman for Pres

Cholera at Lisbon.

The epidemic Of cholera at Lisbon does
not seem to cause much anxiety
and no announcement of special prepar-
atoms for preventing the disease
from getting Judgment in this country
has been made. The epidemic is a serious
one. On Wednesday the number Of new
cases reported was 124, and on Thursday
the number reported was 257. The rapid
increase in the number of cases is alarm
ing. As yet the death rate is low, but it
may reasonably be expected that it will
become higher as the disease progresses.
Lisbon is IN close communication with
other European cities, and unless the
greatest caution is exercised the cholera
is likely to spread all over Europe.
Should it reach ports at which immi-
grants embark for this country the
greatest vigilance would be necessary at
New York and some other ports
One or two OF the New York papers
are beginning to realize the danger to
the country from the Lisbon outbreak, and
they are asking why it is that the nomi-
nation of health officer for that port has
not vet been acted upon by the state
otud Je II bub lSE lSld III VI ANCN VI
should adjourn without confirming the
nomination that port would be left with
out health officer at time when one
the most urgently needed.
When cholera was in New York harbor
a couple of years ago, and the law permit
ting the landing of immigrants was sus-
pended for thirty days, it was the very
general understanding that there would
be some legislation by congress that
would assist in protecting the country
against the introduction of infectious and
contagious diseases. As soon as the
danger was practically passed, however,
the matter was forgotten apparently.
The powers of the marine hospital SER
vice should be enlarged, so that it could
render the kind of service that is needed
in the event that assistance from it should
be required.
II is rather remarkable fact that
congress seldom does anything in the line
of reform unless forced to by public senti-
ment.
Cholera must be kept out of this coun-
try at any cost 1t can be kept out by
watchfulness and the proper use of sani-
tary measures. Congress is neglecting
its duty in not clothing the marine hos
pital service with such powers as it should
have if the occasion for assistance from
it should arise.

savannah's New Public Building.

Some weeks ago it was announced that
the treasury department was almost ready
to begin the work of constructing the
new public building in this city, and that
an advertisement asking for bids from
contractors would be published early in
May. 1t is now stated that the begin
ming of the work is likely to be delayed
for a considerable time.
We have been expecting and hoping
that the work would be undertaken before
the beginning of summer. The people of
this city have been promised time and
time again that there would be very
little further delay in the construction of
the building, and they have been very
patient about the matter. 1t
has been years since the
appropriation was made, and yet there is
nothing visible relative to the buildings,
except the vacant site. Surely the gov
eminent cannot pretend that it has dealt
fairly with Savannah in this matter.
Would it not be advisable to get up a
petition to the Secretary of the Treasury
and the President protesting against
further delay, and asking that the work
be entered upon at once? In these hard
times the construction of the building
would be extremely helpful to the me-
chanics of the city 1t would afford some
of them work, and would stimulate build
ing. 1t would therefore be helpful in
many ways.
We have no doubt that Col Lester
has exerted himself to the utmost to get
the treasury department to begin the
erection of the building Immediately, and
that he will keep on trying, but the peo-
pie here can help him by showing that
they feel that Savannah is not being
dealt with fairly and that they would APP
preciate it If the government should show
greater desire to comply with then
! wishes
