ohandler,s Protestations.

Mr. Chandler the New Hampshire sen
ator, is bearing the burden of the fight
against the bill to repeal the election
laws. He is wearying the Senate and
the country with his protestations of his
desire for pure elections. He seems to be
obaiVious of the fact that he has a record
in connection with elections, aud that it
Is not one to be proud of. What he says,
therefore, has very little weight. The
country judges him by what he has done
and not by what he says, and the conclu-
sion reached is that what he wants is
not pure elections, but means by which
his party can rob the people of their
rights at the ballot box.
He pretends that he would like to have
his record in the Hayes contest inquired
into. He ignores the fact that it has
been investigated, and Judgment rem
dered against him. He defends Daven-
ports infamous acts in New York, and
yet he knows that they cannot be success
fully defended. In his own state bribery
of voters is carried on to shameful ex-
tent, and the evil is growing, and yet he
does not protest. When he thinks what
he has done, what acts of his party he
has condoned, and TO what lengths he is
willing to go to prostitute the ballot in
the interests of his party, it is wonder
that he has the gall to stand up before
the Senate day after day and pretend
that the chief desire of his life is to Sc.
cure the purity of the ballot.

a Reformer in Hayti,

Mr.. Smythe our minister to Hayti, is
in danger of having his career as diplo-
mat cut off short. if the reports of his do
ings are well founded. Minister Smythe,
IL seems, has his ideas of how the govern
ment of Hayti ought to be conducted. The
way it is conducted doesn't suit him.
Until he was appointed minister to Hay ii
he was the chief of little weekly news
paper published in one OF the back coun-
ties of Virginia, and while engaged in
that uncongenial work he imagined,
doubtless, what he would do If he were in
position of power. When he succeeded
in getting the mission to Hayti
he appears TO have made up
his mind that the opportunity had come
to him at last for making a noise in the
world
He was not long In making up his mind
that he could direct public affairs In
Hayti much better than President Hippo
lyte is doing, and so he wrote the presi-
dent letter, telling him what changes
ne ought to make in his administration if
he desired TO retain the sympathy and
good win of the United States. He en-

governments to join him in signing this
letter, but they were much better in
formed and wiser than he. They said
they had no authority 10 NEEDLE
with the affairs of the government to
which they were accredited. Mr.. Smythe
does not seem to have taken that very
sensible view of the situation, and sent
his letter to President Hippolyte Natu-
rally, the President wasn't overcome with
Joy. He evidently concluded that Minis
ter Smythe was meddlesome fellow, and
that it would be good thing to get rid of
him. 1t is said that he forwarded the
letter with some comments to the state
department at Washington If the facts
are as stated, Mr.. Smythe's career as
diplomat will soon come to an end, and he
will return to his newspaper in the back
woods of Virginia convinced, probably,
that those who attend to their own bust
ness and do not NEEDLE with that of other
people get along better than those who
adopt contrary course of action.

Con. Evans, Candidacy.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem

7I1N
Some few Georgia papers that are support
ing Mr. Atkinson for governor are seeking TO
prejudice the people who do not reside in the
cities and towns with that threadbare dema-
gosie appeal, that the city people want Evans
but the country people are for Atkinson. II

a respectable paper to seek to even try 70

issue that all are alike interested in. Gen

So the political fight in Alabama next
fall is to be four-cornered affair, Ell?
Well, "the more the merrier," as Gen.
Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, observed
when he was trying to down Benjamin
Harrison. A republican ticket in the
field in Alabama would be something of q
novelty, still it would help to make things
interesting. If the republican convention
that has been called for Feb. should
materialize and conclude to go into the
fight on its own hook, as is thought prob
able it will, the result would be great
detection from the support Kolb Is de-
pending upon, and make 1t so much easier
for the democrats to elect Oates How
ever, the democrats will elect their man
anyway, whether the republicans go it

The action of Representative Sibley, of
Pennsylvania in resigning from the House
and then withdrawing the resignation,
looks very much like prearrauged piece
of protectionist stage business" Sibley
is protectionist, though elected to con-
gress as a democrat. He resigned os-
tensibly because he was opposed 10 the
Wilson bill. He withdraws his resigna-
tion upon the alleged opportunities of his
constituents, and will remain in congress
and vote against tariff reform. Sibley and
his protectionist friends probably looked
forward to the carrying out of this pro
gramme as sure TO create a sensation, to
the detriment of tariff reform That such
was the programme is evidenced by the
fact that Sibley's resignation had a string
to it. And at the proper time, as he
thought, he pulled the string. But the
sensation will hardly materialize. The
representative is regarded by the country
merely as a rich crank who is seeking no.

The New York Times holds the belief
that should the democrats in congress pass

would inevitably follow. The lapse of

MIR. John Sinnot. prominent citizen of
Paducah, KY, thinks one of the great
causes Of the prosperity of his state gener-
ally and his city especially is the excellent
system of country roads the state has
built and is building. Says he: I'VE
utilize our convicts by making them
work upon our roads. Take the city in
which live, for instance, and the good
results of this idea are apparent. We
have four big pixies or macadamized and
well-graded roads running out from the
city On a rainy day when the farmer
can't plow he'll hitch up his team, put a
hogshead of tobacco or a load of corn
on his wagon and come TO town. In most
sections of the United States he couldn't
get to town on a rainy day with d loaded
wagon on account of the mud AS it is In
our country he saves a whole day,
saves his team and his wagon, and his
temper, and the town merchant gets the
benefit of his trade" What good roads
have done for Kentucky add Paducah
they would do for Georgia ana Savannah.
Mr.. Sinnot's remarks are pointed, and
are worthy the consideration Of every
s}armer and voter in Georgia.

by showing how great an influence the

show the character and nature of the
world as found outside the home and
the school. He treated of life as lived
