wedding would come OF. and IL had been ar

room, while others chatted socially in
another. As the evening wore on, some Of
the guests asked for music and the bride

future partner OF her JOYS and SORROWS eX-

The dapper little man in the check suit

and immediately Owed into the center of IT,
says the Indianapolis Journal. He didn take

of the crowds gathering, but began business

bottles and all, down over his head ana
chased him up the street at wondrous speed.

Who VIII Be President Of Frencep

/ W no W III be PRESIDENT OF EEEuCSF
The two chambers Of the national as
/ sembly of France will meet to-day to
/ choose a president of che republic. The
/ law provides that in caseof a vacancy the
/ national assembly shall fill it. President
I Carnot was assassinated on Sunday, and
his successor Will, it is expected, be
elected to-day. President Carrots term
would have expired Dec. 3, next. The
term of president is seven years.
The national assembly consists Of two
bodies, namely, senator's and deputies. At
present there are 800 senators and 5S4
deputies. All but 80 Of the senator's are
repg blicans. Of the deputies, 40 are re-
publicans OF various shades of opinion.
The so senators and ia deputies who do
not affiliate with the republicans are con-
servatives and socialists.
Our dispa tches yesterday stated that
one group of deputies, composed of 100 re-
publicans, have chosen NJ. Casimir-
Perier as their candidate for president.
At present he is president Of the Senate.
Very recently he was the chief of the
ministry. The down fall Of his ministry,
it is believed, was desired by himself
He was an avowed candidate for the
presidency, and it was thought at the
time that he desired an adverse vote to
his ministry with the view of improving
his prospects for the presidency He is
man of acknowledged ability. The fact
that while at the head of the ministry he
was extremely aggressive in his treat
ment of questions growing out Of socialism
- se
him as candidate for the presidency
Public sentiment is now extremely bitter
against socialists and anarchists, and the
need of a determined man at the head of
the republic at this time is generally
recognized.
Another group of republicans have Sc
lected NJ. Brisson as their candidate. He
is a man who has made his mark in
French politics and has an enthusiastic
following.
IL is expected that the present head of
the ministry, NJ. Dupuy, will be a candi-
date. He is man of high character, &C
knowledged ability and great courage
His present position may enable him to
make a combination that will enable him
to win the prize.
There are other candidates, among
them NJ Leon Say. He is favorite with
the Senate groups. The socialists will,
of course, have no candidate. At this
juncture it is advisable for them to keep
well in the background. The temper of
the people is such that nothing they do or
say is likely to be received with favor II
is understood, however, that they will
throw their strength against any capital
ist or clerical candidate. Under almost
any other circumstances the election, in
all probability, would be attended with
much excitement, but the fact that the
dead president is not yet buried, together
with the fact that the state of the public
mind is such that the best interests
Of the republic require the election of
new president as quickly as possible, may
so impress the national assembly as TO
make the election very quiet affair

A grand army post at Lincoln, Neb.,
has passed resolutions recommending
that the government confscate the Car
negie steel mills "as a military neces-
sity,' and that ''all future tests Of steel
armor'' from those mills be made with
Carnegie and his man Friek placed i'm
mediately behind the target till the test
is completed" II is evident that the
patriotic anger Of these veterans because
Of the armor plate frauds is strongly i'm
pregnated with a populistic eagerness
to confscate something. And the two
emotions make a combination power
full enough to smash possibility worse
than ever any Of the Carnegie plates were
smashed. For instance, if Carnegie and
Prick were placed behind one weak piece
Of armor during the test and blown into
minnow bait, how would it be possible to
strap them up behind the plates again for
''all future tests2n

The erratic Missouri river is working
CONSERVATION among the business men
on the river front at St. Joseph Several
nights ago large amount of driftwood
floated down the swollen stream and
lodged just above the city. The obstruc-
tion caused a sudden change in the cur
rent, which ever since has been pouring
with the force of torrent directly
against the propertyof the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy railroad and that of
several large manufacturing concerns.
A dispatch of Sunday from there said
the ground was melting away like snow,
and that if the force of men at work to
stop the destruction did not succeed in a
short time the railroad station and sew
eral of the largest factories in the city
would be in the river.

workine on the Right Line.

The Charleston News and Courier,
commenting on the movement of the cot
ton, shipping and insurance men of Sa-
vannah looking to the coaling of trans
Atlantic steamships at this port, says:
And they are working on the right line,
working to reduce the burdens upon the
commerce Of their port, and working, as
we are told with a very good prospect of
accomplishing their purpose. We COM
mend them most heartily for their activ-
ity and zeal, and wish them all possible
success in their endeavors." The exam
pie of the Savannah men is earnestly rec
commended to Charlestonians as worthy
of imitation. The News and Courier can
not understand why ships loading cotton
at Charleston which observation applies
with equal force to Savannah
should be compelled to round
Hatteras and put into Norfolk for coal
IN doing so they run the risk of being
driven ashore on. the breakers at HATTIE
ras; they are compelled to pay pilotage
and dockage and collage and stealage at
Norfolk; they lose several days in time
and hundreds of dollars in money by this
Anticipated and obstructive way of doing
business, and it seems to US that a prac-
tical reform might be accomplished if the
coal companies and the railroad and in
surance men and shippers at this port
would put their heads together and work
together for the establishment of great
coaling depot at Charleston" The
agitation of this matter Of lifting
the burdens from commerce has been
properly begun in Savannah and Charles
ton. If it is pushed vigorously and there
is reason to believe it will be, the two
ports may before long enjoy the trade
that should, by reason of their situation
and other advantages, come to them
When the tariff bill has been passed there
will be revival of trade and commerce
that will affect America and Europe. and
Savannah and Charleston should be pre-
pared to command their full share of
what is passing between.

Whether or not Bill Dalton is alive, the
spirit of the Daltons is still abroad in the
land. The robbery of the Savannah.
Florida and Western train yesterday was
a deed in conception and execution
worthy of the famous outlaws During
the past few months there had been a
gratifying absence of train robberies,
and people had begun to hope that that
form of lawlessness had grown unpopular
with the criminally inclined classes. But
it seems the hope was vain.

Mr.. Reeds presidential boom seems to
be doing some damage to the Mckinley
presidential boom. In Ohio, McKinley's
state, 'the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
under its new management, has switched
of the Mckinley track and is now saying
some very pleasant things about Mr.. Reed.
1t is to be noticed that the Ohio State
Journal, which has carried MIR. McKin-
ley's ensign at its masthead for nearly
two years, has recently hauled the same
down, and has also paid Mr.. Reed some
shy compliments lately" Mr.. Reed is.
therefore, in very good humor. He is in
such good humor that he may make the
mistake of tackling Mr.. Crisp again.
Although knocked out a number of times,
he is not yet ready to admit that Mr..
Crisp is the better man.

State Senator Downing Of Louisiana is
endeavoring TO give that state an i'm
proved jury system. His bill, waich has
been passed by the Senate and has the
approval of the judges Of the courts
makes as its first provision that the sal
aries Of the jury commissioners shall be
raised from 81, 200 to 81, 500 year. This
is TO induce a more competent class of
men TO aspire to the commissionerships
The appointment and dismissal Of the
commissioners, it is proposed shall be
taken from the governor and vested in
the Judge of the circuit in whose terri
tory the commissioners serve The com
missioners are to prepare a list Of 1000
reputable citizens, and slips correspond
ing with the names on the list are TO be
placed in the wheel only after the owners
Of the names have been examined and
sworn by the commissioners. Persons
who have been pardoned, who are ex-con-
victs or who have criminal charges hang
ing over them shall not be eligible for
jury service. The lists are to be kept on
record in the jury commissioners office,
subject only to the order. of the judges.
In this lies one OF the most important
changes made, and is regarded as one of
the best features of the bill. At present
the jury lists are filed with the clerk of
the court and may be conned and in
spected by anybody detectives or I'M
scrupulous lawyers, who may obtain from
them information with which TO defeat
the ends Of justice. The right of public
inspection, which is so frequently abused,

II is reported from Newburg, n. Y,
that Miss Carrie Holmes, aged 49, died
there on Friday in great agony from the
sting of d seventeen-year locust. She was
at school sitting by an open window
when a locust lighted upon her neck. Be
fore her companions could brush it off it
had stung her. Almost Immediately the
spot began TO swell and she suffered ex-
cruciating pain, besides partially losing
the power of locomotion. She was taken
home in a carriage, where a physician at
once treated her with the usual remedies
for the bites Of poisonous insects, notwith-
standing which she died within twenty
four hours. State Entomologist Lintner
of New York recently issued bulletin in
which he said the locust is harmless.
This apparently well authenticated case,
however, does not bear out his assertion.
The honor of being the exposition
mayor of Atlanta is eagerly sought after
by number of leading citizens. There
are several candidates in the field now,
with lots of others peeping from behind
the bushes The ambition is a worthy
one, yet it is pertinent to remind the can
didates of the fate of Chicago's exposi-
ton mayor. Notoriety has its draw
backs as well as its advantages.
Representative Stones anti-anarchist
bill is at least timely. Had a law such as
he proposes been in force a year ago the

rison, and is now laughing at the authori-
ties in Chicago, would have long ago met
his deserved fate upon the gallows.

Mr.. Atkinson evidently believes in the
efficacy of the joint debate. 1t is under
stood that he will challenge Judge Hines
to division of time at a number of mass
meetings. The danger in these meetings
is. not that Mr.. Atkinson would fail to
get the better of his antagonist at each
and every one of them, for he has all Of
the arguments on his side and the ability
20 use them, but that the debate would
drift into personalities and bad blood
would be stirred up among the people. In
a separate canvass each candidate would
be the more apt to conhne himself to
arguments on legitimate public questions.
of course, neither would go into Joint
arrangement with the idea of permitting
the debate TO lapse into personalities
But even in the recent contest, between
democrats, the debates were not free from
acerbity.

Satisfied with the Outlook.

1t is the purpose of Senator Butler and
Gov. Tillman OF South Carolina to con-
tinue their joint debate for the senator
ship. 1t is not probable that there will
be serious trouble at any of the meetings.
About as offensive things have been said
as there are likely to be, and as they did
not bring on shooting ARRAY it is
thought that the campaign will come to
an end without the shedding of blood.
Each of the candidates has demonstrated
that he is not afraid to attack his opbo-
nent and there is no further occasion for
Xhibitions of bitterness and bad temper.
In an interview Senator Butler saws
that il there was fair showing of Till
mans strength at the meetings already
held Til.man is beaten That view of
the situation must give him a good deal
Of satisfaction. 1t is probable that if Gov.
Tillman were interviewed he would ex-
press the opinion that Senator Butler is
beaten. AS a matter of fact the meetings
have not been well attended, if
the statements of the correspond
ents are reliable. The people do
not appear to be particularly anxious to
hear the speeches. No doubt many peo-
pie have remained away from the meet
ings for two reasons. First, because
their is not such wide difference be-
tween the views of Gov Tillman and those
of Senator Butler on the national ques-
tons in which the people are chiefly in
terested, and second, they don't care to
attend meetings at which there is likely
to be exhibitions of violence.
The meetings held last week were not
particularly interesting except to those
who take a decided pleasure in an ex-
change of sharp personalities. The
speeches abounded in assertions of per-
sonal character. They afforded those
present very little light on pending issues.
Unless the quality of them improves
greatly the audiences will not increase in
size.
AS yet we do not see that Senator But
Ter has reason to feel hopeful of success.
While we would prefer to see him chosen,
it LOOKS as if Gov. Tillman has the better
chance of getting the prize.
