Senator Chandler has adopted queer
tactics to make Senator Allen vote against
the tariff bill, if he can. He accuses MIR.
Allen of having traded his vote to the
democrats, and makes the accusation in
such manner that if Mr.. Allen were to
vote for the bill it would appear to out
siders that there was something in the
charge The New Hampshire mans
browbeating will probably prove futile.
Nevertheless, his tactics proves, as Tom
Reed said, that BILLY is a dandy"

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Way Not to Think.

From the Cedartown (Ga) STANDARD (Dem.).
Don't let the fool idea get into your head
that because man differs with you in poll
tics or religion he is a dishonest rascal.
There is entirely too much of that sort Of
sentiment abroad in the land.

The populists of Houston county must
be queer lot. The Populist party has
an organization of its own and a state
ticket of its own; but it seems that in
Houston county the following is weak.
Being so, the pops will have but little
voice in the selection of county officers.
This idea does not please them, and they
are advancing the claim that they ought
TO be permitted to vote in the democratic
primaries, on the ground that they are
white men. For long time, and until
recently, the terms white men and demo-
crat were synonymous and almost inter
changeable in the south. But, unfortu-
nately, that time has passed, and hence
forth there will have to be some other
standard of democracy than white skin.

If the News and Courier correctly
reflects the sentiment of the bust
ness men of Charleston, and there
is reason to believe that it does, Savan-
nah's course in the matter of removing
the burdens from shipping at this point,
is regarded in our sister city as good
business policy. In a leading editorial
article, which We republish in another
column, the News and Courier discusses
the recent action of the Savannah city
council with regard to quarantine, and
urges that if the government assumes
control of Savannah's quarantine, imme-
date steps be taken to transit the
Charleston quarantine TO the government.

The Macon Telegraph, referring to
the fact that the candidates for United
States senator from South Carolina are
on the stump and talking to large crowds
of people, asks, why not similar de-
bate in Georgia." 1t might be well
enough to hear from the Grorgia candi-
dates on the stump. But the powers for
bid that the debate should be similar to
that in South Carolina! Over there they
are calling each other hard names, &C
cusing each other of all kinds of bad
things and carrying chips on their Shout
ders at every meeting. The idea of the
Georgia candidates indulging in debate
similar to that in South Carolina is pre-
posterous. just imagine, If you can,

The chances are that Georgia will not
again have an opportunity to honor the
old confederate leader by elevating him
to the governorship. 1t has been nearly
thirty years since the war ended and the
eminent survivors of that great struggle
are growing few and old. In Georgia the
prominent ex-confederate leaders can be
told on the fingers of one hand, and as
short time as two years hence may find
the number still further reduced. But
even should they be spared they might
not care, in the light of what appears to
be the current drift of political sentiment,
TO offer themselves for public service.
War records are apparently under the
ban. Georgia win probably never again
have a confederate general for a governor.

STRATEGY WINS.
Struggle for the Custody
of a Child.
Little Emily Nichols kidnapped by
Her Mother From the Shell
tering Home.

Mrs. Sadie NJ. Nichols is again the winner
in other words, she has by stratagem regained
possession of her Dine-year-Old daughter Emily,
and now snaps her fingers at the Society for The
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.
Mrs. Nichols was arrested by the officers OF
the society last Thursday night on the charge
of keeping minor, her daughter Emily, in a
house of bad repute. The house is at 1OS
Mason street, and is kept by Mrs. Nichols
osteDsibly as lodging house. The arrest was
instigated by Mrs. Jewell Of Jackson, Amador
County, Mrs. Nichols mother. who is anxious
TO obtain possession of her granddaughter
Mrs. Nichols was divorced from her husband
seven years ago, the custody of the child being
given TO her. Since then the father, NJ. Nj.
Nichols, who lives IN Amador County, has sew
eral times attempted 10 get possession Of the
girl and was once successful, but the courts
gave her back 10 ner mother.
When the case was called in Judge Joachim
sens court last Friday 1t was continued until
yesterday. Mrs. Nichols being released on
bonds. Meantime the little girl was sent BY
the society TO Sister Julia's Shelterng Home

Nichols called at the home TO see Emily and

sens court yesterday when Mrs. Nichols at
toTnoy asked Tor another continuance of a week
and also that Mrs. Jewell be subpenaed Both
requests were granted.
Mrs. Nichols bOndsmen surrendered hertiDto
custody and she was taken to the City Prison.
But IN an hour she was released on a new
bond.
The society will probably take legal steps TO
prevent the mother from keeping the child as
long, at least, as she remains In her Dresent
business. SO far IL has no legal right over
Emily and consequently no action could be
taken against Mrs. Nichols for kidnap ping her

A Call for Aid From the
Supervisors.
The Potrero Protests Against the
Closing of Their Branch of
the Public Library.

The expressed determination OF the FIRE e
public library trustees TO close up the Potrero
branch OF that Institution has gone 10 the hearts
OF the residents OF that district, and a meeting
was held last evening at Pennies Hall to enter
protest.
The head OF the unconventional The presiding
officer was j. j. Eastman. A petition was
started. addressed TO the Board OF Supervisors,
which soon had long list OF signers, asking
IN at some means be taken TO keep the library
open.
AT the last meeting of the trustees a report
was made To the effect that 1000 books had
been drawn out OF the library by the POtrero
branch. and this statement was made to appear
as though only that number had been read dur
ing tho six months covered by the report.
The fact IS, Mr.. Eastman explained, 1000
books are placed on the shelves OF the PotrerO
branch by tile central library, besides num-
Der which belong there. These books have
been read and reread aud frequently ex-
changed. During the six months ending August
1 there were 1886 books taken from the library
ana there were IL 600 visitors To the branch
Further. he said, the branch is more essential
in the life OF the people of tile Potrero than is
that OF other branches, because the district is
further from The central library and there are
fewer other resorts.
Take the library away" ne said, land the
young men Of the district will practically have
no place 10 spend their evenings eXcepC at the
saloons. Very many young men frequent the
TeadlDg.r00mS regularly.
